Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the field of testing system technology, and in particular to a single-hull outboard motor power testing system. Background Technology
[0002] Outboard engines are propulsion machines installed on the outside of the hull for the ship's movement, starting, stopping, and berthing. They are typically diesel engines. Outboard engines integrate vertical, longitudinal, and lateral maneuverability, which not only improves the overall maneuverability and comfort of the ship, but also serves as an effective means of reducing air resistance, fuel consumption, and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0003] Given the crucial role of outboard motors in a ship's overall structure, Chinese patent CN201410146140.6 discloses a taxiing speed measuring device for an outboard motor test bench, comprising a steering column and a fixed support base. The steering column is equipped with a driven sprocket, and the fixed support base is equipped with a driving sprocket. The driven sprocket and the driving sprocket are connected by a chain drive. The chain consists of three sets arranged in an equilateral triangle on the outer side of the steering column. Multiple equally spaced measuring units are provided on the chain. Each measuring unit includes a vertically moving plate mounted on the chain, and a speed sensor and a distance sensor are mounted on the vertically moving plate. The detection end of the speed sensor faces downwards. The lower end of the steering column is mounted on a horizontal support platform, which is fixed to the ground by three mutually equilateral triangular plates.
[0004] This patent tests the performance of outboard motors by simulating the motion of real ships. However, this patent has the following drawbacks: 1. Since this patent tests the power of outboard motors by simulating the motion of real ships, it requires the cooperation of large ships in actual use. If it is necessary to test outboard motors with different power, it is also necessary to select ships of different tonnages to match, which limits its applicability.
[0005] 2. In this patent, by "evenly arranging three first hinge blocks above the main deck and providing a second hinge block below the main deck", it is possible to suspend the outboard motor at different angles. However, the actual installation process is quite complicated and the stability is poor.
[0006] 3. In order to realize the installation and testing of the outboard motor, the patent sets up a separate sprocket drive assembly as the test power source, which is complex in structure and has a high cost.
[0007] Based on the above shortcomings, improvements are necessary. Summary of the Invention
