Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine testing, in particular to an engine oil temperature control device and an engine decomposition method friction work test system. Background Art

[0002] When the engine is subjected to the decomposition friction work test, the temperature of the engine oil in the main oil channel is precisely controlled, and when the oil pump is removed, the main oil channel of the engine is supplied with oil with adjustable pressure for subsequent friction work tests. Friction work refers to the work done by the components that rub against each other to overcome the friction force when the engine is running.

[0003] In the prior art, the engine oil pan needs to be perforated, and the oil temperature control device takes oil from the oil pan. When the oil pump is not removed, the temperature-controlled oil directly flows back to the oil pan, and the engine relies on the oil pump to circulate the oil, control the oil temperature, and conduct the friction work test. After the oil pump is removed, the temperature-controlled and pressure-controlled oil enters the engine through the main oil channel, and the oil temperature control device provides high-pressure oil for oil circulation, controls the oil temperature, and conducts the friction work test after the oil pump is removed.

[0004] In the current technology, during the test process before removing the oil pump, the temperature-controlled oil directly enters the oil pan, and the oil pump is used to circulate the oil inside the engine.

[0005] Before and after removing the oil pump, the oil circulation pipeline changes greatly, and the position where the temperature-controlled oil enters the engine is inconsistent, which affects the consistency of temperature control and increases the friction work measurement error.

[0021] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the oil temperature control device provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The oil temperature control device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a first main oil section 2, an oil circuit switching section and a second main oil section 3 connected in sequence, the upstream of the first main oil section 2 is used to communicate with the oil outlet of the engine oil pump, the downstream of the second main oil section 3 is used to communicate with the main oil channel of the engine, and a heat exchange component 4 is provided on the second main oil section 3; wherein the oil circuit switching section includes a first branch 5 and a second branch 6 connected in parallel, a first valve V1 is provided on the first branch 5, and a second valve V2 and an alternative oil pump 1 are connected in series on the second branch 6.

[0024] When the oil pump is not removed, the first valve V1 is opened and the second valve V2 is closed. The oil output by the oil pump leaves the engine from the oil cooler, enters the first total oil section 2 after passing through the external filter, and returns to the main oil passage of the engine after temperature control by the heat exchange component 4. Specifically, it can be returned from the engine oil cooler to the main oil passage of the engine to control the oil temperature. Since the oil on the second total oil section 3 can directly enter the main oil passage of the engine after temperature control by the heat exchange component 4, it is convenient to accurately control the oil temperature of the main oil passage, thereby improving the accuracy of friction work measurement;

[0025] After the oil pump is removed, the first valve V1 is closed and the second valve V2 is opened. The original oil pump is replaced by a pipeline connection tooling, and the replacement oil pump 1 replaces the original oil pump. Oil is sucked from the engine oil pan through the pipeline connection tooling, and after temperature control by the heat exchange component 4, oil at a specific temperature is provided to the main oil channel of the engine to facilitate the friction work test after the oil pump is removed.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the oil pump 1 is replaced with a variable frequency oil pump. After the oil pump is removed, the variable frequency oil pump can be used to pressurize the oil to provide oil of a specific pressure to the main oil channel of the engine.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the variable frequency oil pump is located downstream of the second valve V2. When the second valve V2 is disconnected, the variable frequency oil pump immediately cuts off the oil supply to avoid ineffective oil pumping.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the heat exchange component 4 is used to control the temperature of the engine oil on the second total oil section 3 by means of secondary temperature control to avoid local overheating of the engine oil.

[0029] There are many ways to achieve secondary temperature control heating of the oil in the second main oil section 3 that is to enter the main oil gallery. In a specific embodiment, the heat exchange assembly 4 includes a circulation pipeline, and the circulation pipeline is connected in series with a first heat exchanger 41, a circulation pump 45, a second heat exchanger 44 and an electric heater 43; wherein the circulation pump 45 is used to drive the heating medium to circulate in the circulation pipeline to control the flow of the heating medium. The circulation pipeline exchanges heat with the oil in the second main oil section 3 through the first heat exchanger 41, and exchanges heat with the cooling water pipeline 45 through the second heat exchanger 44, so as to use the cooling water to cool the heating medium. The cooling water pipeline 45 can be provided with a control valve V3 to control the flow of the cooling water pipeline 45. The electric heater 43 is used to heat the oil in the circulation pipeline, so as to use the cooling water to heat the heating medium. In this way, the oil in the second main oil section 3 that is to enter the main oil gallery is heated by secondary temperature control to avoid local overheating of the oil.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, the first heat exchanger 41 is connected in parallel with a bypass branch 421, and a three-way valve V4 is provided at the connection between the bypass branch 421 and the circulation pipeline. The bypass branch 421 can be used to short-circuit the first heat exchanger 41 in specific circumstances, such as when the first heat exchanger 41 is temporarily overhauled.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the three-way valve V4 is located upstream of the first heat exchanger 41 , so that once the heating medium is switched to the bypass branch 421 , the three-way valve V4 can prevent the heating medium from entering the first heat exchanger 41 .

[0032] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides an engine decomposition method friction work test system, which includes an engine and an oil temperature control device of any of the above technical solutions, the engine includes an oil pump and a main oil channel, the upstream of the first total oil section 2 is connected to the oil outlet of the oil pump, and the downstream of the second total oil section 3 is connected to the main oil channel. The technical effect of the engine decomposition method friction work test system can refer to the above oil temperature control device.

[0033] Because the oil needs to pass through the oil cooler before entering the main oil gallery, when there is a temperature difference between the engine oil temperature and the coolant temperature, the main oil gallery oil temperature will be affected by the coolant temperature due to the heat exchange of the oil cooler. When the coolant temperature is higher than the oil temperature, the oil will heat up when flowing through the oil cooler, and the main oil gallery oil temperature will be higher than the oil pan oil temperature; when the coolant temperature is lower than the oil temperature, the oil will cool down when flowing through the oil cooler, and the main oil gallery oil temperature will be lower than the oil pan oil temperature. The specific temperature deviation depends on the temperature difference between the oil and the coolant, the heat exchange capacity of the oil cooler, etc. As a result, the main oil gallery oil temperature cannot be accurately controlled, affecting the accuracy of friction work measurement.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, a main passage and a bypass passage are connected in parallel between the oil pump and the main oil channel, and an oil cooler and a filter are connected in series on the bypass passage; the engine also includes a thermostat tooling, which is used to prevent the oil from entering the heat exchanger when flowing through the oil cooler, thereby preventing the oil temperature in the main oil channel from being affected by the coolant temperature, thereby facilitating precise control of the oil temperature in the main oil channel and ensuring the accuracy of friction work measurement.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the engine disassembly method friction work test system also includes a pipeline connection tool. When the oil pump is removed, the pipeline connection tool is used to replace the above-mentioned oil pump to ensure that the oil flow path before and after the oil pump is removed is more consistent.

[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
