AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When measuring the quality of the engine intake airflow field, the existing measuring rakes are far away from the measurement point, resulting in pressure loss due to the long distance between the pressure sensor and the measuring point, and the seal at the stainless steel guide pipe joint may cause leakage, resulting in inaccurate measurement.

Method used

A measuring rake is designed, and a spaced annular boss is provided along the length direction of the rake arm. The sensor is embedded in the annular boss. The wires on the sensor extend to the root of the rake arm through the internal passage of the rake arm, and directly reach the measurement point. The pressure is detected to avoid the use of the guide tube.

Benefits of technology

By directly installing the sensor in the annular boss on the rake arm, the problems of pressure loss and seal leakage are avoided, and the accuracy of data acquisition is improved.
