Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of turbocharger testing technology, specifically relating to a turbocharger axial force testing system. Background Technology
[0002] A turbocharger is a device that uses engine exhaust gases to drive a turbine, thereby increasing the engine's intake air volume and output power. With the development of the automotive industry, turbochargers have played a crucial role in improving engine efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and decreasing emissions, and are widely used.
[0003] The axial force of a turbocharger is a key technical parameter in turbocharger shaft system design. If the axial force is too large, exceeding the thrust capacity of the turbocharger shaft system, the turbocharger may be damaged by friction against the casing. However, in traditional turbocharger shaft system design, the axial force is calculated using the pressure at the pressure end inlet, the pressure at the turbine end outlet, the compressor inlet pressure, and the compressor outlet pressure. This method is not very intuitive and cannot effectively assess whether the turbocharger shaft system design is reasonable.
[0004] Therefore, in order to better design the turbocharger shaft system, this application designed an axial force testing system that can intuitively measure the magnitude of the axial force of the turbocharger throughout the entire operating speed range. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a turbocharger axial force testing system. By inserting an axial force sensor into the turbocharger's oil inlet, the axial force data of the turbocharger can be obtained in real time. This axial force data can effectively evaluate whether the turbocharger shaft system design is reasonable.
[0006] The present invention is solved by the following technical solution.
[0007] A turbocharger axial force testing system includes: a turbocharger to be tested, wherein the turbocharger has an intermediate body, a rotating shaft is provided in the intermediate body, and a turbine assembly and a compressor assembly are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating shaft; an oil inlet is provided on the intermediate body of the turbocharger, and a floating bearing is provided on the rotating shaft, with the oil port on the floating bearing aligned with the oil inlet; and an axial force sensor inserted into the oil inlet, wherein the axial force sensor can generate a signal when subjected to axial force, and the signal is transmitted to a strain force data acquisition device.
[0008] The turbocharger axial force testing system in this application innovatively uses an axial force sensor inserted into the oil inlet for detection. It can detect the axial force even when the turbocharger is working and transmit the axial force data to a strain data acquisition device to determine whether the turbocharger design is reasonable, which is very convenient.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the signal generated by the axial force sensor is transmitted to the strain data acquisition device via a sensor cable. This wired signal transmission method provides high accuracy and strong anti-interference capability.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the axial force sensor includes a sensor spindle and an outer end portion disposed at the outer end of the sensor spindle. The outer end portion abuts against the outer end face of the oil inlet hole, ensuring high stability after assembly.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the first end of the sensor spindle is engaged at the opening of the oil inlet, and the second end of the sensor spindle is engaged in the oil port on the floating bearing. The two ends are separated by a certain distance, which allows the sensor to sense changes in axial force between the two ends and generate corresponding axial force signals.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, there is an inwardly recessed portion between the first end and the second end. The outer wall of the inwardly recessed portion does not contact the inner wall of the oil inlet hole, so that the sensor spindle has a certain degree of bendability and can well adapt to the deformation caused by the axial force deviation between the inner and outer ends.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the axial force sensor has a central hole in which a strain detection unit is provided, which can sense bending deformation and generate a corresponding signal.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the turbocharger to be tested is placed on a workbench that allows the turbocharger to simulate actual operating conditions.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: it provides a turbocharger axial force testing system, which can obtain the axial force data of the turbocharger in real time by inserting an axial force sensor into the oil inlet of the turbocharger. The axial force data can effectively evaluate whether the design of the turbocharger shaft system is reasonable. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features shown. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] See Figures 1 to 2 This utility model relates to a turbocharger axial force testing system, comprising: a turbocharger to be tested, wherein the turbocharger has an intermediate body 1, and a rotating shaft 4 is provided in the intermediate body 1, wherein a turbine assembly 2 and a compressor assembly 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 4; an oil inlet is provided on the intermediate body 1 of the turbocharger, and a floating bearing 5 is provided on the rotating shaft 4, wherein the oil port on the floating bearing 5 is aligned with the oil inlet; and further comprising an axial force sensor 6 inserted into the oil inlet, wherein the axial force sensor 6 can generate a signal when subjected to axial force, and the signal is transmitted to a strain force data acquisition device 8.
[0022] Specifically, in this application, the signal generated by the axial force sensor 6 is transmitted to the strain data acquisition device 8 via the sensor cable 7, which is a wired signal transmission method with high accuracy and strong anti-interference capability.
[0023] In addition, from the appendix Figure 2As can be seen from the above, in this application, the axial force sensor 6 includes a sensor spindle and an outer end portion 61 located at the outer end of the sensor spindle. The outer end portion 61 abuts against the outer end face of the oil inlet hole, ensuring high stability after assembly. The first end portion 63 of the sensor spindle is engaged at the opening of the oil inlet hole, and the second end portion 65 of the sensor spindle is engaged in the oil port on the floating bearing 5. The two ends are separated by a certain distance, which allows the sensor to sense changes in axial force between the two ends and generate corresponding axial force signals. Furthermore, there is an inwardly recessed portion 64 between the first end portion 63 and the second end portion 65. The outer wall of the inwardly recessed portion 64 does not contact the inner wall of the oil inlet hole, giving the sensor spindle a certain degree of flexibility and deformation capability, which can well adapt to deformation caused by the deviation of axial force between the inner and outer ends.
[0024] In this application, the axial force sensor 6 has a central hole 69, in which a strain detection unit is provided to sense bending deformation and generate a corresponding signal. The strain detection unit in the axial force sensor 6 of this application can be a conventional product in the prior art, and the strain data acquisition device is also a conventional product in the prior art.
[0025] In this application, the turbocharger to be tested can be placed on a workbench, which can simulate the actual working state of the turbocharger.
[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the turbocharger axial force testing system in this application uses an axial force sensor 6 inserted into the oil inlet for detection. It can detect the axial force even when the turbocharger is working and transmit the axial force data to the strain data acquisition device 8 to determine whether the design of the turbocharger is reasonable, which is very convenient.
[0027] As described above, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: It provides a turbocharger axial force testing system. By inserting an axial force sensor into the turbocharger's oil inlet, the axial force data of the turbocharger can be obtained in real time. This axial force data can effectively evaluate whether the turbocharger shaft system design is reasonable. For example, if the axial force tested under all test conditions during the entire experimental process is less than the designed turbocharger thrust capacity, it proves that the turbocharger shaft system design is reasonable and there is no risk of turbocharger casing rubbing; otherwise, there is a risk of turbocharger casing rubbing.
