Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic hybrid power technology, and in particular to a multifunctional hydraulic hybrid power system test bench. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction, hydraulic hybrid power systems are gradually becoming an important development direction for power systems in engineering vehicles and special vehicles due to their advantages such as high power density, high energy recovery efficiency, and fast response speed. To reduce vehicle testing costs and improve system development efficiency, it is typically necessary to construct an experimental platform to conduct performance testing and control strategy verification of the hydraulic hybrid power system.
[0003] Most existing hydraulic hybrid power test benches are designed for a single structural form (such as series or parallel), lacking the ability to switch between multiple configurations. At the same time, during system testing, only local parameter monitoring can often be achieved, making it difficult to conduct unified and coordinated analysis of the mechanical transmission part (speed, torque) and the hydraulic transmission part (pressure, flow). In addition, existing test benches usually cannot simultaneously achieve the following functions: (1) engine fuel consumption and emission testing under hybrid and single drive states; (2) simulation of multi-load coordinated control and energy recovery process under constant pressure system; (3) simulation and evaluation of vehicle friction braking characteristics.
[0004] In addition, in the existing technology, each subsystem (power source, hydraulic circuit, loading system and control system) is designed relatively independently and lacks a unified structural integration scheme, resulting in poor functional expandability of the test bench and limited coverage of working conditions.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional hydraulic hybrid power system test bench with high structural integration, capable of switching between series and parallel structures, and equipped with functions such as multi-parameter monitoring, energy recovery control, and braking simulation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Therefore, one objective of this invention is to provide a multifunctional hydraulic hybrid power system test bench to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multifunctional hydraulic hybrid power system test bench, comprising: A power input unit, including an engine, is used to provide mechanical power output; The mechanical transmission unit connected to the power input unit includes a connecting coupling, a gearbox, and an electromagnetic clutch, used for power transmission and switching of transmission paths; The hydraulic system connected to the mechanical transmission unit includes a constant pressure variable pump, an accumulator group, at least one pair of secondary components, and a hydraulic control valve group, used for the conversion, storage, and recovery of mechanical energy and hydraulic energy; The loading unit connected to the hydraulic system includes a brake and a flywheel assembly, used to simulate external loads and inertial loads; The measuring unit connected to the mechanical transmission unit, the hydraulic system, and the loading unit includes a speed and torque sensor, a pressure sensor, and a flow sensor; in, The electromagnetic clutch in the mechanical transmission unit is configured to include at least a clutch assembly and a second clutch. The clutch assembly and the third clutch are connected by a linkage and interlock control relationship, such that: When the clutch group is engaged and the third clutch is disengaged, the output of the power input unit is transmitted in parallel with the hydraulic system through the mechanical transmission path, forming a parallel hydraulic hybrid power structure. When the third clutch is engaged and the clutch group is disengaged, the output of the power input unit is transmitted through the hydraulic system, forming a series hydraulic hybrid power structure. The hydraulic system is a constant pressure system. The constant pressure variable pump is used to maintain the system pressure stability. The secondary element converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy under load conditions and stores it in the accumulator group. The accumulator group includes multiple accumulators of different volumes, which are selectively connected to the hydraulic system via control valves.
[0008] Preferably, the clutch assembly includes a first electromagnetic clutch and a third electromagnetic clutch, which are respectively disposed on the mechanical transmission path for synchronous engagement or disengagement.
[0009] Preferably, an electrical interlock or control logic interlock is provided between the clutch assembly and the second clutch, allowing only one power transmission path to be in operation at any given time.
[0010] Preferably, the hydraulic control valve group includes a second valve for switching the system operating mode. When the test bench is operating in a series hydraulic hybrid power structure, the second valve is opened to make the hydraulic system form a constant pressure network to simulate multi-load collaborative control conditions.
[0011] Preferably, the power input unit includes an engine, and the test bench also includes an emissions testing instrument, configured to switch between an engine-only drive mode and a hybrid drive mode, for testing the engine's fuel consumption and emissions performance under different drive modes.
[0012] Preferably, the constant pressure variable pump is a pressure-compensated variable pump, and the output pressure is maintained within a preset constant range.
[0013] Preferably, the secondary element operates in two modes: a pump mode and a motor mode. During loading, it absorbs mechanical energy and converts it into hydraulic energy, and during release, it converts the hydraulic energy back into mechanical energy for output.
[0014] Preferably, the accumulator group includes multiple accumulators arranged in parallel, and each accumulator is connected to the hydraulic system through an independent control valve.
[0015] Preferably, the flywheel assembly in the loading unit is used to simulate the inertial load of a vehicle, and the brake is used to simulate the friction braking of a vehicle, and different working conditions can be achieved by adjusting the braking force.
[0016] Preferably, the measuring unit is located at the node of the mechanical transmission path and the hydraulic system to simultaneously collect mechanical parameters and hydraulic parameters.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention, by setting up an electromagnetic clutch group with linkage and interlocking control relationships, enables the switching between series and parallel hydraulic hybrid power structures on the same experimental platform by controlling the engagement and disengagement of different clutches. Compared with existing technologies, this invention can complete experimental research on different configurations without changing the hardware system, improving the versatility and utilization of the experimental platform.
[0018] This invention constructs a unified mechanical-hydraulic coupled testing system by arranging multi-dimensional sensors in the mechanical transmission unit and hydraulic system. It achieves synchronous acquisition and comprehensive analysis of mechanical and hydraulic parameters, fully reflecting the energy transfer process and working mechanism of the system. This solves the problems of scattered and incomplete parameter monitoring, improving the completeness and reliability of experimental data.
[0019] This invention uses an engine as the power input unit and integrates emission testing instruments into the test bench. Furthermore, through a flexible transmission path design, it enables switching between hybrid drive mode and engine-only drive mode. This allows the test bench to not only test power transmission performance but also to be used to evaluate the engine's fuel economy and emission characteristics under different operating modes, providing stronger comprehensive testing and performance evaluation capabilities.
[0020] This invention employs a constant-pressure hydraulic system consisting of a constant-pressure variable pump, an accumulator group, and secondary components, along with corresponding control valve groups, to construct a loop capable of stabilizing system pressure. It can simulate multi-load coordinated control under constant-pressure networks and utilizes secondary components to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy stored in the accumulator under braking or loading conditions, achieving a systematic simulation of energy recovery and reuse processes. This provides an effective means for in-depth research on energy management strategies for hydraulic hybrid power systems.
[0021] This invention employs a loading unit consisting of a brake and a flywheel assembly. The brake directly simulates the friction braking process of a vehicle, while the flywheel assembly simulates the inertial load of the vehicle. Through the combination of these two components, the experimental platform can reproduce the dynamic response and load characteristics of a vehicle in actual operation, thereby solving the problems of insufficient load simulation capability and unrealistic operating condition simulation in existing experimental platforms, and improving the engineering reference value of the experimental results.
[0022] Furthermore, this invention achieves adjustable system energy storage capacity and characteristics by employing an energy storage group composed of multiple energy storage devices of different volumes and selectively connecting them to the system using control valves. This design allows researchers to easily study the impact of different energy storage scales and charging pressures on the system's energy recovery efficiency and dynamic performance, enhancing the flexibility and depth of research in scientific research and teaching.
[0023] This invention constructs a multi-layered safety protection and auxiliary system by setting an overflow valve as a safety valve, configuring an oil filter with alarm in the critical circuit, and setting an electromagnetic switch valve for emergency unloading. These measures effectively improve the safety and reliability of the test bench under long-term, complex operating conditions.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: Achieving multi-configuration switching and significantly improving the versatility of the experimental platform: This invention enables the experimental platform to switch between series and parallel hydraulic hybrid power structures on the same platform by setting up a linkage and interlocking mechanism between electromagnetic clutches (first electromagnetic clutch, third electromagnetic clutch, and second electromagnetic clutch). Compared with existing experimental platforms designed only for a single configuration, this invention can complete experimental research on different structural forms without changing the hardware system, significantly improving the versatility and utilization of the experimental platform.
[0043] This invention constructs a unified mechanical-hydraulic coupling testing system to improve system analysis capabilities. By deploying multiple sensors at key locations in both the mechanical and hydraulic systems, it enables the simultaneous acquisition and comprehensive analysis of parameters such as speed, torque (mechanical side, blue portion in the diagram), pressure, and flow rate (hydraulic side, red portion in the diagram). Compared to existing technologies where parameters are scattered and monitoring is incomplete, this invention comprehensively reflects the energy transfer process and working mechanism of the hydraulic hybrid power system, improving the completeness and reliability of experimental data.
[0044] Supporting multi-condition engine performance testing with enhanced functionality: This invention enables flexible switching between hybrid drive mode and engine-only drive mode, and, combined with an emissions testing device, allows for testing of engine fuel consumption and emissions performance. Compared to existing test benches that only focus on power transmission testing, this invention expands the engine performance evaluation capabilities, giving the test platform stronger comprehensive testing capabilities.
[0045] Research on Multi-Load Cooperative Control and Energy Recovery in a Constant Pressure System: This invention constructs a constant pressure hydraulic system through the coordinated design of a constant pressure variable pump, accumulator group, and secondary components, achieving multi-load cooperative control (CPS mode) and the recovery and reuse of hydraulic energy. Simultaneously, by adjusting the accumulator capacity and charging pressure, the impact of different energy storage conditions on energy recovery efficiency can be studied.
