Moreover, the test process often requires the cooperation of multiple people, resulting in high labor costs and low test efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an air compressor test device for new energy vehicle hydrogen fuel cells, which can replace manual testing to detect parameters such as the flow rate and compression ratio of the air compressor.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions: An air compressor test device for a hydrogen fuel cell of a new energy vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a frame, a control module, and an air circuit system and a cooling water circuit system arranged on the frame; The gas circuit system includes an air intake path and an exhaust path; The air intake circuit includes an air intake pipe connected to the air intake port of the air compressor, and an air intake filter and a first flow meter sequentially arranged on the air intake pipe along the air intake direction. A first temperature sensor and a first pressure sensor are also arranged on the air intake pipe between the first flow meter and the air compressor. The exhaust path includes an exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust port of the air compressor, and a back pressure valve and a first gate valve sequentially arranged on the exhaust pipe along the exhaust direction, and a second temperature sensor and a second pressure sensor are also arranged on the exhaust pipe between the back pressure valve and the air compressor; The cooling water circuit system is connected to the cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet of the air compressor to provide cooling water to cool the air compressor; The control module is connected to the first temperature sensor, the first pressure sensor, the second temperature sensor, the second pressure sensor and the first flow meter to obtain the values ​​of each parameter; The control module is also connected to the back pressure valve to adjust the opening of the back pressure valve, thereby adjusting the exhaust pressure; The control module is also connected to the air compressor to adjust the rotation speed of the air compressor.

[0005] The cooling water circuit system includes a main waterway, a second waterway, a bypass waterway and a return waterway; The main water circuit includes a water tank, a water inlet pipe connected between the water tank and the cooling water inlet of the air compressor, a second gate valve, a water pump, a third gate valve, a water temperature three-way valve and a second flow meter arranged on the water inlet pipe in sequence along the water inlet direction, a third temperature sensor and a third pressure sensor are arranged on the water inlet pipe between the second flow meter and the air compressor, and an electric heater is arranged in the water tank; The second water circuit includes a side pipe and a dry cooler arranged on the side pipe, one end of the side pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe between the water pump and the third gate valve and the other end is connected to the water temperature three-way valve; The bypass waterway includes a bypass pipe and a water flow regulating valve arranged on the bypass pipe, one end of the bypass pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe between the water pump and the third gate valve and the other end is connected to the water tank; The return water circuit comprises a return pipe connected between the cooling water outlet of the air compressor and the water tank, and a fourth temperature sensor and a fourth pressure sensor are arranged on the return pipe.

[0006] The control module is connected to the third temperature sensor, the third pressure sensor, the fourth temperature sensor, the fourth pressure sensor and the second flow meter, and is used to monitor the cooling water temperature, the cooling water pressure and the cooling water flow; The control module is also connected to the water flow regulating valve, and is used to control the opening of the water flow regulating valve to adjust the cooling water flow; The control module is also connected to the water temperature three-way valve and the electric heater to adjust the cooling water temperature.

[0007] The first pressure sensor and the first temperature sensor are the suction pressure and suction temperature measurement points respectively, and the second pressure sensor and the second temperature sensor are the exhaust pressure and exhaust temperature measurement points respectively. The air enters the air compressor through the suction filter, and after being compressed by the twin-screw structure of the air compressor, it is first discharged into the exhaust pipe, and finally discharged into the atmosphere through the back pressure valve and the first gate valve. The first gate valve is manually set to a certain opening in advance to achieve the effect of coarse adjustment, so that the back pressure valve can complete the working condition in a relatively medium state with higher accuracy. The exhaust pressure is controlled by the back pressure valve. The action of the back pressure valve changes the flow area of ​​the exhaust pipe, thereby adjusting the size of the exhaust pressure. The opening of the back pressure valve is inversely proportional to the exhaust pressure. The size of the air flow is determined by the speed of the air compressor. By changing the speed of the air compressor, the suction flow is controlled.

[0008] The cooling water circuit system is mainly used to cool the air compressor. The exhaust temperature of the air compressor during operation is ≤140℃.

[0009] The above-mentioned air compressor test device for a new energy vehicle hydrogen fuel cell of the present invention adjusts the speed of the air compressor through a control module, and detects the flow of the air compressor at different speeds through a first flow meter, and detects the intake pressure and the exhaust pressure respectively through a first pressure sensor and a second sensor, thereby calculating important parameters such as the air compressor pressure ratio (ratio of exhaust pressure to intake pressure) .

[0010] The third temperature sensor and the third pressure sensor are the measuring points of the inlet water temperature and the inlet water pressure respectively, and the fourth temperature sensor and the fourth pressure sensor are the measuring points of the outlet water pressure and the outlet water temperature respectively. The water circuit of the test bench is mainly used for cooling the air compressor. In the main cooling water circuit, the cooling water from the water tank flows directly to the cooling water channel of the air compressor, and monitors the cooling water temperature, cooling water pressure drop and cooling water flow of the air compressor. The cooling water temperature is controlled by the dry cooler and the electric heater, and the cooling water flow is controlled by the opening of the water flow regulating valve of the bypass water circuit. The second gate valve and the third gate valve are pre-set to an opening so that the water flow can change smoothly.

[0011] When the cooling water temperature is higher than the set value xx℃, the dry cooler fan starts, and the water temperature regulating valve opening increases to allow more cooling water to dissipate heat through the dry cooler, reducing the cooling water temperature so that the cooling water temperature meets the set value. The cooling water temperature is inversely proportional to the water temperature regulating valve opening.

[0012] When the cooling water temperature is lower than the set value xx℃, the electric heating on the water tank starts and the cooling water temperature in the water tank rises to meet the setting.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first flowmeter is a vortex flowmeter, and the second flowmeter is an electromagnetic flowmeter. Both the vortex flowmeter and the electromagnetic flowmeter have digital pulse signal outputs, and are easy to be used in conjunction with the control module.

[0014] In some embodiments, a detection frame is fixedly installed on the frame, and the frame is provided with a lifting mechanism for lifting the air compressor into the detection frame, a pressing mechanism arranged above the detection frame for inserting the air intake connector from top to bottom into the air intake port of the air compressor, a lifting mechanism arranged below the detection frame for connecting the exhaust connector from bottom to top to the exhaust port of the air compressor, and a side pushing mechanism arranged next to the detection frame for driving the water inlet connector and the return connector to connect to the cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet of the air compressor from the side.

[0015] Compared with the test device of the above-mentioned embodiment, the main feature is the addition of an automatic docking mechanism for each pipeline. This can improve the automation of the test device, thereby improving the detection efficiency. When each joint is docked with the corresponding interface of the air compressor, it can be squeezed and sealed by a sealing ring. A hose can be added between the joint and the corresponding pipeline to facilitate the relative movement of the joint. For example, a section of flexible hose, such as a bellows, is provided between the air intake joint and the air intake pipe.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air compressor is positioned and placed on a positioning plate, and the lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame for placing the positioning plate and a vertical linear module fixedly mounted on the frame for driving the lifting frame to vertically lift and lower the frame. The frame is also provided with a lifting mechanism for lifting the positioning plate in the detection frame. In order to ensure the mutual positioning between the air compressor and the positioning plate, a positioning pin can be provided on the positioning plate to be plugged into the corresponding hole position on the air compressor, and a pin hole structure can also be provided between the positioning plate and the lifting frame for positioning. In order to facilitate the insertion of the exhaust joint into the air compressor, a corresponding through hole is provided at the bottom of the positioning plate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged lifting components, and the lifting components include a lifting cylinder slidably connected to the bottom of the detection frame and fixedly installed on the detection frame for driving the telescopic movement of the lifting plate. When the two lifting plates are extended, they are inserted into the bottom of the positioning plate from both sides.

[0018] The sliding connection between the lifting plate and the detection frame can be achieved through a slide rail slider assembly. The lifting mechanism is mainly used to support the positioning plate lifted into the detection frame, so that the positioning plate remains in the set position, which facilitates the lifting frame to reset downward.

[0019] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism includes a pressing bracket fixedly mounted on the frame, a pressing plate fixedly connected to the air inlet connector, and a pressing cylinder fixedly mounted on the pressing bracket for driving the pressing plate to move up and down. The pressing plate is also provided with a plurality of elastic pressing blocks. When the pressing plate is lowered, the elastic pressing blocks first press the air compressor, and then the air inlet connector is inserted into the air inlet of the air compressor. The guiding of the pressing plate can be achieved through guide rods and guide sleeves. When the pressing plate is lowered, the elastic pressing blocks first press the air compressor to keep the air compressor fixed, avoid displacement of the air compressor, and facilitate subsequent joint docking.

[0020] In some embodiments, the elastic pressure block includes a top pressure head, a seat block fixedly arranged on the lower pressure plate, a column fixedly connected to the top pressure head and vertically movable relative to the seat block, a spring installed on the column and supporting the top pressure head and the seat block at both ends respectively, and a circular stopper fixedly arranged on the seat block for preventing the column from slipping out upward.

[0021] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting bracket, a avoidance cylinder fixedly mounted on the frame for pushing the lifting bracket from the side to directly below the detection frame, a lifting plate fixedly mounted with the exhaust joint and movable up and down relative to the lifting bracket, and a lifting cylinder fixedly mounted on the lifting bracket for driving the lifting plate to move up and down. The avoidance cylinder is used to allow the lifting mechanism to avoid interference with the lifting mechanism.

[0022] In some embodiments, the side thrust mechanism includes a side mounting block for fixedly mounting a water inlet joint and a return joint, and a sliding cylinder fixedly mounted on a frame for driving the side mounting block to telescopically move. When the side mounting block is extended, the water inlet joint and the return joint are respectively plugged into the cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet of the air compressor.

[0023] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects: 1. The present invention provides an air compressor test device for a new energy vehicle hydrogen fuel cell. The speed of the air compressor is adjusted by a control module, and the flow rate of the air compressor at different speeds is detected by a first flow meter. The intake pressure and the exhaust pressure are detected by a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor respectively, so as to calculate important parameters such as the air compressor pressure ratio (ratio of exhaust pressure to intake pressure).
