Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive testing technology, and in particular to an intelligent device for detecting automotive connecting rods with variable compression ratio. Background Technology
[0002] Variable compression ratio is a technology that dynamically adjusts the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine, improving fuel efficiency under different load conditions. A lower compression ratio is needed under high load, while a higher compression ratio is needed under low load. The purpose of variable compression ratio is to improve the fuel economy of turbocharged engines. In turbocharged engines, the compression ratio is lower than that of naturally aspirated engines to prevent knocking. However, at low boost pressures, thermal efficiency decreases, leading to reduced fuel economy. Especially in turbocharged engines, due to the slow increase in boost pressure, torque also increases slowly under low compression ratio conditions, creating the so-called boost lag phenomenon. That is, at low engine speeds, the boost effect is delayed; the turbocharger system only kicks in after the engine accelerates to a certain speed.
[0003] To address this issue, variable compression ratio is an important method. Specifically, under low-load conditions with low boost pressure, the compression ratio is increased to match or exceed that of a naturally aspirated engine; conversely, under high-load conditions with high boost pressure, the compression ratio is appropriately reduced. In other words, the compression ratio is continuously adjusted according to load changes to improve thermal efficiency across the entire operating range from low to high loads. Since the compressive and tensile forces on the connecting rods in a variable compression ratio engine vary with the compression ratio, the connecting rod's compressive and tensile strength is crucial. During the production of variable compression ratio engines, the compressive and tensile strength of the connecting rods needs to be tested.
[0004] However, existing intelligent equipment for detecting variable compression ratio automotive connecting rods is not convenient for fixing the connecting rods and for detecting the smoothness of the surfaces at various locations on the connecting rods, making it inconvenient to use.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent device for detecting variable compression ratio automotive connecting rods to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The working principle of the intelligent device for detecting variable compression ratio automotive connecting rods provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0032] In use, the car connecting rod is fitted onto the top positioning post 12 and the bottom positioning post 15, and two baffles 23 are placed on the top positioning post 12 and the bottom positioning post 15.

[0034] Compared with related technologies, the intelligent device for detecting variable compression ratio automotive connecting rods provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] This invention provides an intelligent device for testing automotive connecting rods with variable compression ratios. The extension and retraction of the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 allows for compression or tensile testing of the connecting rod. A monitoring mechanism monitors the compressive or tensile forces borne by the connecting rod, thus testing its compression and tensile resistance. The top and bottom positioning mechanisms work together to facilitate convenient installation and positioning of the connecting rod. A direction adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the connecting rod's direction, enabling the acquisition probe 22 to detect the roughness of both sides of the connecting rod. A smoothness detection mechanism also detects the roughness of both sides of the connecting rod.
