DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] The purpose of the present application is to provide a fuel system multiple dynamic motion function test system and test method to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and to realize the test of multiple dynamic motion functions of the fuel system by using a six degrees of freedom motion platform, thereby effectively improving the test efficiency.

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the drawings as shown in Figures 1-7 A fuel system multiple dynamic motion function test system is provided, which comprises a six degrees of freedom motion platform 1 and a positioning mechanism for positioning a fuel tank 2 on the six degrees of freedom motion platform 1. The positioning mechanism can prevent the fuel tank 2 of the fuel system from sliding off the six degrees of freedom motion platform 1 during the test. Since there is a problem of oil leakage at the outlet of the fuel tank 2, the outlet of the fuel tank 2 is connected to a first liquid collecting container 3 in the present application. The first liquid collecting container 3 is connected to the outside environment through an atmospheric pipeline 4, so that the pressure in the first liquid collecting container 3 is the same as the outside environment. This can simulate the environmental pressure at the outlet of the real fuel tank 2 and also can collect the leaked oil from the outlet. A pressure sensor 5 is arranged in the fuel tank 2 to monitor the pressure data in the fuel tank 2. The fuel tank 2 is connected to a gas supply pipeline 6 for supplying gas. The six degrees of freedom motion platform 1 is electrically connected to a control system, which is integrated in a control console 7 for easy control by the staff.

[0024] The position where the fuel tank 2 communicates with the gas supply pipeline 6 can be higher or lower than the liquid level inside the fuel tank 2, and the gas supply pipeline 6 can be supplied with gas by using a one-way air pump, so that the oil liquid cannot flow out from the gas supply pipeline 6.

[0025] When the position where the fuel tank 2 communicates with the gas supply pipeline 6 is lower than the liquid level inside the fuel tank 2, the gas supply pipeline 6 is located on the side of the fuel tank 2 away from the outlet communicating with the first liquid collecting container 3, so as to avoid the influence of gas stimulation on the normal leakage of oil liquid.

[0026] The gas supply pipeline 6 is installed on the fuel tank 2 through a detachable structure such as a flange, and after the test is completed, the gas supply pipeline 6 can be removed, and the gas injection inlet of the fuel tank 2 communicating with the gas supply pipeline 6 can be sealed.
