Technical Field

[0002] Cylinder pressure testing accurately assesses engine performance by measuring the pressure in each cylinder during the compression stroke, revealing cylinder sealing performance, combustion efficiency, and the condition of related mechanical components. Cylinder pressure testing is a crucial method for diagnosing engine faults. By comparing the cylinder pressure values of each cylinder, cylinders with abnormal pressure can be identified, indicating potential mechanical damage or other problems, such as poor valve sealing, piston ring wear, cylinder wall wear, or carbon buildup. Analyzing cylinder pressure data allows for optimization of engine design, improving combustion efficiency and power performance. Furthermore, cylinder pressure testing provides critical data that enables engineers to adjust parameters such as ignition timing and fuel injection based on actual cylinder pressure conditions, thereby improving combustion efficiency and power output while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

[0024] See Figure 1-2The multi-channel real-time cylinder pressure acquisition device shown includes a multi-channel integrated power supply acquisition unit 1, an oscilloscope 4, and multiple cylinder pressure acquisition tubes. The multi-channel integrated power supply acquisition unit 1 includes a housing 11 and a power module disposed within the housing 11. The power module is connected in parallel to multiple input connectors 17. The power module and the multiple input connectors 17 are combined to form a power supply circuit 18. A master control switch 13 is disposed near the positive terminal of the power module in the power supply circuit 18. The input connectors 17 are disposed on one side of the housing 11. On the other side of the housing 11, a plurality of output connectors 16 are provided. Each input connector 17 is provided with a power supply terminal electrically connected to the power module and an electrical signal output terminal electrically connected to the output connector 16. The input connectors 17 and the output connectors 16 are combined to form a signal circuit 110. Each power supply terminal is connected to the power interface of the corresponding cylinder pressure acquisition tube, and each electrical signal output terminal is connected to the signal output interface of the cylinder pressure acquisition tube. Each input interface of the oscilloscope 4 is connected to the corresponding output connector 16 through a signal harness 5.
[0025] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, firstly, by connecting the input connector 17 in parallel with the power module, and electrically connecting the power module to the power supply terminal of each input connector 17, synchronous power supply to multiple input connectors 17 is achieved, thereby synchronously powering the cylinder pressure acquisition tubes connected to the input connectors 17; secondly, the output current of the cylinder pressure acquisition tubes connected to the input connectors 17 is output to the output connector 16 after passing through the electrical signal output terminal, and each input connector 17 corresponds one-to-one with an output connector 16, enabling the multi-channel integrated power supply acquisition unit 1 to simultaneously connect multiple cylinder pressure acquisition tubes to detect the cylinder pressure in different cylinders, improving the accuracy of cylinder pressure detection, and transmitting the collected cylinder pressure data to the oscilloscope 4, and finally displaying it on the terminal display device through waveform signals; thirdly, the multi-channel integrated power supply acquisition unit 1 in this solution integrates power supply and acquisition into one, realizing simultaneous power supply and signal output of multiple channels, thereby realizing synchronous detection of cylinder pressure in multiple cylinders of the engine, avoiding data errors caused by different cylinder environments during batch testing, and improving the accuracy of detection data.
[0026] In this embodiment, the power module is a rechargeable battery 12. The rechargeable battery 12 is connected in parallel to a charging interface 15 and a charging indicator light 14. Both the charging interface 15 and the charging indicator light 14 are located on the side of the housing 11.

During detection, the pressure inside the engine cylinder can apply pressure to the detection end of the pressure sensor 9 through the tube body 3. This pressure is the detected cylinder pressure value. The pressure sensor 9 converts the detected cylinder pressure into an electrical signal, which passes sequentially through the integrated wiring harness 2, the input connector 17, the signal circuit 110, the output connector 16, the signal wiring harness 5, the oscilloscope 4, the oscilloscope output wiring harness 6, and the plug 7, and is then displayed as a waveform signal on the terminal display device. The tube body 3 can be a rigid metal tube or a heat-insulated flexible tube, depending on the need.
[0028] The specific method for inserting the tube body 3 into the cylinder block is as follows: insert the outer end of the tube body 3 into the spark plug thread hole or use a special connector to install it in the thread hole of the fuel injector or preheating plug, so that the tube body 3 is connected to the combustion chamber part inside the cylinder, so as to test the pressure change of each stroke in the cylinder and the corresponding time of the pressure change for data collection as a basis for fault diagnosis.

With this arrangement, the negative terminals of the output connector 16 and the charging interface 15 are both electrically connected to the negative terminal 116 through the housing 11, and thus connected to the negative terminal of the rechargeable battery 12, enabling the charging circuit 19 and the signal circuit 110 to function normally. In addition, it also grounds the housing 11, improving safety during use.

The third and fourth sockets serve as electrodes and are respectively engaged with the third pin 113 and the fourth pin 114, enabling the pressure sensor 9 to convert the pressure signal within the cylinder into an electrical signal output and transmit it to the output connector 16.
[0032] In this embodiment, the third pin 113 extends from the inner end of the second pin 112. This arrangement allows the third pin 113 to be connected to the same negative terminal line as the second pin 112.
