[0016] A method for testing the VCU performance of a marine diesel engine comprises the following steps:
[0017] S1, the electromagnetic coil V21 of the second electromagnetic valve 16 is energized, and the electromagnetic coil V32 of the third electromagnetic valve 20 is energized. The hydraulic oil enters the oil suction port 4 after passing through the third speed regulating valve 18, that is, the oil suction port 4 is supplied with oil. It is judged whether the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 is extended. If it is extended, it means that the oil suction valve (not shown in the figure) in the valve control unit 2 has good oil suction performance;
[0018] S2, the electromagnetic coil V31 of the third electromagnetic valve 20 is energized, and the hydraulic oil enters the oil cylinder 9 after passing through the fifth speed regulating valve 22, that is, the oil is supplied to the spring chamber of the oil cylinder 9 to determine whether the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 can be retracted to the bottom. If the piston rod is not retracted to the bottom, it means that the non-return performance of the oil suction valve in the valve control unit 2 is good; if the non-return performance of the oil suction valve in the valve control unit 2 is poor, the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 will continue to retract until it reaches the bottom of the oil cylinder;
[0019] At step S3, the electromagnetic coil V32 of the third electromagnetic valve 20 is energized, and the electromagnetic coil V11 of the first electromagnetic valve 10 is energized. The hydraulic oil enters the oil inlet 3 after passing through the first speed regulating valve 12. It is judged whether the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 is extended. If so, it indicates that the ejection performance of the valve control unit 2 is good. This ejection performance is equivalent to the function of opening the exhaust valve, which means that the performance of the valve control unit 2 in opening the exhaust valve is good.
[0020] At S4, the electromagnetic coil V31 of the third solenoid valve 20 and the electromagnetic coil V11 of the first solenoid valve 10 are energized, and the hydraulic oil enters the oil inlet 3 and the oil cylinder 9 respectively after passing through the first speed regulating valve 12 and the fifth speed regulating valve 22. It is judged whether the piston rod of the oil cylinder 9 is retracted. If it is retracted, it means that the retraction performance of the valve control unit 2 is good. This retraction performance is equivalent to the function of closing the exhaust valve, which means that the valve control unit 2 has a good performance in closing the exhaust valve.
[0021] S5. Repeat steps S3 and S4 30 times. If there is no abnormality, it is determined that the overall performance of the valve control unit 2 is good.
[0022] The valve control unit 2 in the present invention is an existing component on a marine diesel engine. After passing through the status test unit 6, the oil suction test unit 7, and the non-return test unit 8, the performance of the valve control unit 2 (i.e., testing the oil suction and non-return functions of the VCU's oil suction valve, and testing the VCU's performance in opening and closing the exhaust valve) can be effectively tested, thereby ensuring the normal operation and emission control of the diesel engine.
