[0002] With the development of production and science and technology, aircraft engines have developed extremely rapidly in terms of both output and variety and quality. Currently, the numerous types of aircraft engines also bring certain difficulties to daily selection and use. Different types of aircraft require aircraft engines that match their performance. During the engine debugging process, the engine speed, temperature, pulling force, etc. need to be detected separately. Currently, the engine test devices for model aircraft on the market have problems such as single test function; insufficient accuracy and precision; high complexity and operation difficulty, requiring professional skills and knowledge to operate and interpret test results; lack of powerful data processing and analysis capabilities, resulting in low data utilization rate, etc.
[0003] In view of the above, an efficient and accurate engine test bench is crucial for evaluating engine performance, optimizing flight effects, and ensuring flight safety. Therefore, it has great practical significance to design a multi-functional and easy-to-operate engine test bench for model aircraft. Summary of the Invention

This test bench can simultaneously complete the tests during the engine debugging stage, parameter monitoring and recording, and data processing and analysis, and cooperate with the bench tuning parameter software to achieve engine speed detection, temperature detection at the measurement points, engine pulling force detection, etc.
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0028] The following will give a detailed description of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] The multi-functional engine test bench for small aircraft has a structure as Figures 1-4 shown, including the bench main body 1, and a rotational speed detection mechanism, a temperature detection mechanism, a tensile force detection mechanism, and a data acquisition, recording, and processing mechanism installed on the bench main body 1. The bench main body 1 serves as the bearing platform for the entire working process, and the rotational speed detection mechanism, temperature detection mechanism, tensile force detection mechanism, and data acquisition and recording mechanism respectively rely on this platform to coordinate and complete the test process.
[0031] The bench body 1 is welded by high-strength composite steel, and includes a main body skeleton, an engine mounting table 5, a slider guide rail 2, a protective cover 4 and moving wheels 3. When the engine starts, especially when it is at full power, a large reaction force will be generated and act on the test bench. Therefore, the main body skeleton in this embodiment is designed as a reinforced structure, including a base 1a, support vertical plates 1b welded on both sides of the base 1a, and a first cross beam 1c and a second cross beam 1d welded between the two support vertical plates 1b. Both the base 1a and the support vertical plates 1b are frame structures with reinforcing beams. A reinforcing diagonal brace 1e is connected between the top of the support vertical plates 1b and the base 1a. The moving wheels 3 are 4 universal wheels, all placed under the base 1a, and can cooperate with each other to enable the multi-functional engine test bench to move freely in the plane. The engine mounting table 5 is installed above the two support vertical plates 1b through the slider guide rail 2. The engine mounting table 5 is a high-strength composite steel flat plate for fixing the engine. The engine mounting table 5 is located on one side of the second cross beam 1d, and the second cross beam 1d is used to install a rotational speed detection mechanism and a tensile force detection mechanism. The mutual sliding cooperation of the slider guide rail 2 can enable the engine mounting table 5 to slide back and forth above the main body skeleton to adapt to more engine models. At the same time, positioning screws are arranged along the direction of the slide rail to lock the position of the adjusted engine mounting table. A protective cover 4 for protecting the operator is installed above the engine mounting table 5. The protective cover 4 is a detachable structure for easy adjustment of its position.
[0032] The rotational speed detection mechanism is arranged on the second cross beam 1d of the main body skeleton, and includes an optoelectronic rotational speed sensor mounting post 9, an optoelectronic rotational speed sensor 10 installed above the optoelectronic rotational speed sensor mounting post 9, and a reflective sticker. The reflective sticker is used to reflect the rotation action of the engine propeller, and the attachment position on the engine is selected according to the actual situation. The optoelectronic rotational speed sensor 10 is used to sense the rotation action of the engine propeller reflected on the reflective sticker, so as to realize the rotational speed detection.
[0033] The temperature detection mechanism uses a patch type temperature sensor 11, which can be attached to the surface to be measured of the engine mounting table 5 according to requirements to sense the engine temperature in real time.
[0034] The tensile force detection mechanism is also arranged on the second cross beam 1d of the main body skeleton, and is composed of a tensile force sensor 7 and a hook 6. The hook 6 is used to connect the engine, and can cooperate with the tensile force sensor 7 to realize real-time and accurate sensing of the tensile force generated by the engine.
[0035] The data recording mechanism includes a sensor distribution box 8 and a remote computer control system communicatively connected thereto. The sensor distribution box 8 is installed on the base 1a, and its main function is to centrally process the signals of multiple sensors, and send the signals of each sensor to the remote computer control system through a cable, thereby simplifying the wiring process, saving space, and making the system easier to maintain. The computer control system is installed and runs bench parameter adjustment software for displaying, processing, and recording all data obtained from the engine test.
[0036] For the multi-functional engine test bench of the small aircraft in this embodiment, the test operation process is as follows:
[0037] I. Preparation before testing
[0038] 1. Power on the tension sensor, photoelectric speed sensor, and temperature sensor on the bench, and connect the connecting wires of each sensor to the sensor distribution box, and connect them to the computer control system running the bench parameter adjustment software through the sensor distribution box.
[0039] 2. Tension test preparation: After fixing the engine to the engine mounting table, connect the engine to the hook of the tension sensor.
[0040] 3. Speed test preparation: Stick the reflective sticker to the position to be measured on the engine, such as the middle cover of the engine or the blade of the propeller. Align the photoelectric speed sensor with the reflective sticker. If the indicator light on the speed sensor lights up when aligned, it means the installation position is correct.
[0041] 4. Temperature test preparation: Attach the temperature sensor to the position to be measured.
[0042] II. Tension test
[0043] After connecting all the devices, the relevant data can be presented on the display interface. First, click 'Zero the tension measurement value' on the display interface, and then rotate the engine to generate tension, and the change trend of the tension can be seen on the display interface.
[0044] III. Speed test
[0045] After sticking the reflective sticker and aligning the photoelectric speed sensor, the engine speed test can be carried out. When the engine rotates, the corresponding speed data and the corresponding line chart will change.
[0046] IV. Temperature test
[0047] After tightly attaching the temperature sensor to the area to be measured, when the temperature of the area to be measured changes, the corresponding temperature data and the corresponding line chart will change.
[0048] V. Measurement data recording
[0049] When the start measurement is clicked, the control system starts to display and record the current real-time values, and the data is saved to the system after the measurement stops.
