[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fuel pump testing, in particular to a testing device for the flow performance of a fuel pump. Background Technique

[0002] A fuel pump is a professional term in the automotive parts industry. It is one of the basic components of an electronic fuel injection system for automobiles and is located inside the vehicle fuel tank. The function of the fuel pump is to suck fuel out of the fuel tank, pressurize it, and then transport it to the fuel supply pipe, and cooperate with the fuel pressure regulator to establish a certain fuel pressure. After the vehicle fuel pump is produced, it is necessary to use a testing device for the flow performance of the vehicle fuel pump to test the flow performance of the fuel pump.

[0003] After retrieving the patent document with the publication number CN214170791U, this patent document discloses "a testing device for the flow performance of a vehicle fuel pump. This device is provided with a fuel filter screen, a motor, a rotating shaft, and a brush. The motor is started by being externally connected to a power supply, driving the rotating shaft and the brush to rotate, so that the bristles move below the fuel filter screen. The bristles can sweep away foreign objects attached to the fuel filter screen and prevent impurities from accumulating near the fuel filter screen, making the fluidity at the bottom of the fuel pump better and preventing foreign objects in the fuel from attaching to the fuel filter screen, affecting the accuracy of the test data on the flow performance of the fuel pump.";

[0004] However, when the above device cleans the fuel filter screen, it is necessary for the motor to drive the brush structure to rotate to clean the fuel filter screen. Most of the existing cleaning structures are similar to the above structure. However, when cleaning in this way, it is easy to cause a certain fluctuation in the fuel liquid, and such filtration and cleaning are likely to affect the fuel pumping volume of the fuel pump, resulting in inaccurate flow measurement.

[0025] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings:

[0026] As Figures 1-4 shown, a test device for the flow performance of a fuel pump includes a test bench 1. A surrounding frame 2 is fixed to the upper end of the test bench 1, and a test box 21 is fixed in the middle of the surrounding frame 2. A test mechanism is installed inside the test box 21, and an impurity removal mechanism is also included.

[0027] Two bases 11 are fixed to the lower end of the test bench 1, and a plurality of fixing bolts 12 are arranged in the middle of the bases 11; the device can be fixed to a suitable position through the fixing bolts 12.

[0028] The impurity removal mechanism includes an observation plate 22. The observation plate 22 is fixed to the front end face of the test box 21. The bottom of the test box 21 is of a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The observation plate 22 is made of a transparent material. An oil suction pipe 23 is fixed to the bottom of the test box 21. A drain pipe 24 is arranged on one side of the oil suction pipe 23, and the drain pipe 24 is connected to the bottom of the test box 21. Valves 25 are installed in the middle of both the oil suction pipe 23 and the drain pipe 24. A pump body 26 is installed at the output end of the oil suction pipe 23. A filter box 27 is fixed to the output end of the pump body 26. A filter net 28 is fixed inside the filter box 27. The filter net 28 is of a frame structure with one end open. A return pipe 29 is fixed to the output end of the filter box 27, and the output end of the return pipe 29 extends into the test box 21. The oil suction pipe 23, the drain pipe 24, and the return pipe 29 are all hard pipes made of plastic material; fuel is injected into the test box 21. After the impurities in the fuel precipitate to the bottom of the test box 21, the valve 25 on the oil suction pipe 23 is opened, and then the pump body 26 is started to pump out the fuel at the bottom of the test box 21. When the fuel passes through the filter net 28 in the filter box 27, the impurities inside the fuel can be filtered. The filtered fuel will flow back into the test box 21 through the output end of the return pipe 29. The situation inside the test box 21 is observed through the observation plate 22. When the impurities precipitated at the bottom of the fuel are cleared, the valve 25 on the oil suction pipe 23 and the pump body 26 are closed, and then the flow performance of the fuel pump can be tested. In this way, the possibility that impurities in the fuel affect the test results can be maximally avoided.

[0029] The testing mechanism includes two electric push rods 3, which are respectively installed at both ends of the test box 21, and the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 3 are arranged oppositely. Clamping arc plates 31 are fixed to the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 3. Rubber layers are provided on the inner arc walls of the two clamping arc plates 31. A fuel pump main body 32 is arranged between the two clamping arc plates 31. A circulation pipe 33 is provided at the upper end of the fuel pump main body 32. The output end of the circulation pipe 33 faces the inside of the test box 21, and the input end of the circulation pipe 33 is connected to the oil outlet end of the fuel pump main body 32. A flow tester 34 is installed in the middle section of the circulation pipe 33, and the housing structure of the flow tester 34 is fixed to the upper end of the test box 21. A pressure regulating device 35 is arranged on one side of the circulation pipe 33, and the output pipe of the pressure regulating device 35 is connected to the circulation pipe 33. By driving the clamping arc plates 31 to extend out through the two electric push rods 3, the two clamping arc plates 31 can clamp and fix the fuel pump main body 32 in the middle. Through the setting of the flow tester 34, the flow performance of the fuel pump main body 32 can be tested and processed when the device is operating.

[0030] Working principle: Before the device operates, first inject fuel into the test box 21. Observe the fuel in the test box 21 through the observation plate 22. After the impurities in the fuel settle to the bottom of the test box 21, open the valve body 25 on the oil suction pipe 23, and then start the pump body 26 to pump out the fuel and impurities at the bottom of the test box 21 by the pump body 26. When the fuel passes through the filter screen 28 in the filter box 27, the impurities inside the fuel can be filtered. The filtered fuel will flow back into the test box 21 through the output end of the return pipe 29. Observe the situation inside the test box 21 through the observation plate 22. When the impurities settled at the bottom of the fuel are cleared, close the valve body 25 and the pump body 26 on the oil suction pipe 23, and then the flow performance of the fuel pump can be tested and processed. In this way, the possibility that the impurities in the fuel will affect the test results can be maximally avoided. After the impurity removal is completed, place the fuel pump main body 32 to be tested between the two clamping arc plates 31, and then drive the clamping arc plates 31 to extend out through the two electric push rods 3, so that the two clamping arc plates 31 can clamp and fix the fuel pump main body 32 in the middle (note: after the fuel pump main body 32 is clamped, the inlet end of the fuel pump main body 32 needs to be immersed in the fuel inside the test box 21). Then start the fuel pump main body 32 to pump out the fuel inside the test box 21, and make the pumped fuel flow back into the test box 21 through the circulation pipe 33. During this process, the flow tester 34 will test the flow of the passing fuel. When it is necessary to discharge the fuel inside the test box 21, just open the valve body 25 on the drain pipe 24.
