[0058] Preferably, the test bench system 100 further includes a first container 108 and a second container 109. The test cabin 101 is arranged in the first container 108, and the equipment cabin 102 is arranged in the second container 109. The environmental air-conditioning cabin is arranged on the top of the first container 108, and the environmental air-conditioning cabin is connected to the test cabin 101 through pipelines to adjust the ambient temperature and humidity in the test cabin 101. The purpose of setting the first container 108 and the second container 109 is to strengthen the modular design of the test bench system 100. The functions of each module are relatively independent and are connected by pipelines, which facilitates the relocation, overall assembly and disassembly of the test bench system 100, and effectively reduces the manufacturing and upgrading costs.

[0059] Preferably, an iron plate 110 is arranged on the main support beam of the first container 108. The dynamometer 105 and the hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine 106 are placed on the iron plate 110, and the iron plate 110 is damped by air springs. The iron plate 110 is used to provide a plane reference to ensure good support.

[0060] Preferably, the ventilation system of the environmental air conditioning cabin uses explosion-proof ventilation equipment, and the exhaust frequency of the explosion-proof ventilation equipment is not less than 12 times / h. If an unexpected situation occurs in the test cabin 101, such as abnormal temperature or abnormal hydrogen content, turning on the explosion-proof ventilation equipment can achieve rapid ventilation.

The combustible gas alarm system is used to monitor the combustible gas content in the test cabin 101, and the hydrogen leakage alarm system is used to monitor the hydrogen content in the test cabin 101. The combustible gas alarm system and the hydrogen leakage alarm system are connected to the monitoring cabin 104, and the monitoring cabin 104 is used to receive and display the monitoring information obtained by the combustible gas alarm system and the hydrogen leakage alarm system. It is easy to understand that the monitoring cabin 104 implements operation control based on the monitoring information.

When the hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine 106 is shut down, it is necessary to purge the unreacted fuel gas in the pipeline of the hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine 106 to ensure the safety of the operation of the hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine and the smooth operation of the next operation.

[0065] Preferably, the monitoring cabin 104 includes a main control device and a display.
