Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a mobile box-type test bench for engines with high temperature, high humidity, and high performance. Background Technology

[0002] As the core power source for vehicles, construction machinery, and other equipment, the performance of engines in extreme environments such as high altitudes, high temperatures, and high humidity directly affects the reliability and applicability of the equipment. To evaluate engine operation in extreme environments, traditional techniques primarily rely on plains-based simulation tests. However, this approach has the following limitations: Currently, engine testing in plains-based environments simulating high-altitude conditions mainly employs two schemes: Full-cabin simulation: This involves simulating the low pressure and low temperature conditions of high altitudes within a closed test chamber. While this scheme covers the overall operating environment of the engine, it has significant shortcomings: First, the test chamber must withstand the pressure difference between the inside and outside (e.g., high-altitude air pressure is approximately 50% of that at sea level), requiring extremely high structural strength and resulting in high construction and maintenance costs. Second, it carries significant operational risks; improper pressure control could lead to structural deformation or even safety accidents. Third, it consumes large amounts of resources; maintaining a low-pressure environment requires continuous energy input, making it economically inefficient. Intake and exhaust simulation mode: This only simulates the engine's intake and exhaust systems (e.g., simulating high-altitude intake conditions by adjusting intake pressure and temperature). While this scheme reduces construction costs, it fails to accurately reflect the engine's actual operating conditions in high-altitude environments. Specifically, the following issues arise: the engine crankcase exhaust is directly exposed to the atmosphere, making it impossible to simulate crankcase leakage problems under low-pressure conditions (such as piston ring oil pumping or turbocharger oil leakage leading to oil combustion); for adjustable turbochargers with bleed valves, the bleed performance cannot be accurately simulated, resulting in a deviation between the engine's boost effect and actual high-altitude operation; some key performance parameters cannot be effectively measured (e.g., during smoke measurement, particles cannot adhere properly to the filter paper due to pressure differences); and the fuel tank pressure system is not simulated, leading to discrepancies between the actual performance of the fuel supply system (such as fuel evaporation and flow resistance) and real-world high-altitude operation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mobile, field-testable engine high-altitude, high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-temperature mobile box-type test bench. After searching, no technical solution identical to this utility model was found. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a mobile box-type test bench for engines with high temperature, high humidity, and high performance. Its innovation lies in that it includes a test group and a process group that can be installed on a flatbed trailer. The test group includes a test container and an engine testing system installed within the test container.

[0008] In some embodiments, the chilled water supply system includes an air-cooled chiller unit equipped with a stainless steel water tank and a high-flow-rate dedicated water pump for providing 7°C chilled water to regulate fuel temperature.

[0009] In some embodiments, the compressed air supply system includes a screw air compressor, an air tank, an air dryer, and a filter device. The air compressor is designed for low noise and environmental protection and is used to provide clean air to the shock absorption system and the pneumatic diaphragm pump.

[0010] In some embodiments, the fuel supply system includes a fuel tank and a pneumatic diaphragm pump; the fuel tank is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a flame-retardant breather valve, an overflow port, a drain port, and an electric remote magnetic level gauge; the pneumatic diaphragm pump uses compressed air as a power source to deliver fuel.

[0011] In some embodiments, the laboratory ventilation system includes a low-noise industrial axial flow fan, the fan housing of which is made of high-strength bolted steel plate with a rust-removing and baking paint finish.

[0012] In some embodiments, the test chamber is equipped with a sound absorption and noise reduction system, a fire protection system, and a floor vibration damping system, wherein the sound absorption and noise reduction system is used to reduce noise pollution during engine testing.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Mobility: The standard container design complies with road transport regulations and can be quickly deployed to any test site, avoiding deviations caused by fixed test benches simulating the environment; Data accuracy: On-site testing in high-altitude and high-temperature environments accurately reflects engine performance under real extreme conditions; Environmental protection and energy saving: Cooling water and chilled water are recycled, reducing water waste; Low-noise equipment reduces environmental noise pollution; Safety and reliability: The fuel supply system's liquid level monitoring, the leak-free design of the pneumatic diaphragm pump, the explosion-proof characteristics of the compressed air drive, and the multiple protections of the fire protection system ensure test safety; Strong adaptability: The three-dimensional quick-adjustment bracket supports the installation of different engine models, and the dynamometer can be expanded to test components such as gearboxes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. In summary, this high-altitude, high-temperature, and high-temperature mobile box-type test bench for engines, through integrated and modular design, achieves efficient and realistic testing of engine performance under extreme environments, combining economy, environmental protection, and practicality.
