Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine testing technology, and in particular to a piston-type aero-engine test bench. Background Technology

[0002] From design finalization to mature product development, bench testing is an essential step in engine development and testing. For conventional engines, start-up tests, ignition tests, and performance tests are required. Before being put into operation, aero-engines undergo dynamic and thermal tests under various operating conditions on an engine bench. Fixed-wing UAVs typically use small piston engines as their power unit, providing thrust and pull for flight. Engine performance directly affects the performance, reliability, and economy of the UAV. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain parameters such as engine speed control stability, thrust, torque, and fuel consumption during the testing phase.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN202420123226.X, which includes: a support base; a housing fixed to the upper surface of the support base; an engine mounting plate that slides back and forth relative to the housing along the axial direction via a motion guiding mechanism, the engine mounting plate including a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing, each with mounting holes for mounting and fixing the engine; and a fixing structure that fixes the position of the engine mounting plate and the housing after sliding adjustment. This utility model can install two engines simultaneously, reducing disassembly work. However, adjusting the engine position after installation and fixing is cumbersome in this application.

[0037] Specifically, the positioning component 6 is symmetrically provided with abutment rods 601 on its top, and one end of the abutment rod 601 is rotatably connected to abutment plate 602 through a fastening pivot. The support component 7 is fixedly installed with a support arc plate 701 on its top.

[0038] In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement of the engine supported on the device, movable crossbars 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the central support assembly 7 and the two side positioning assemblies 6. Guide rail sliders 801 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the movable crossbars 8, and a threaded slider 802 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the movable crossbars 8. A drive screw 902 is rotatably connected inside the drive structure 9. Rotary shaft seats 901 are fixedly installed at both ends inside the drive structure 9.

The bottom of the lifting rods 12 extends through the sliding grooves 501 and is slidably connected to the movable crossbar 8. The lifting rods 12 are slidably connected to the support plate 5 through the sliding grooves 10, so that the support assembly 7 and the positioning assembly 6 can move stably on the support plate 5, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the engine supported on it.

[0040] As a further limitation of this technical solution, auxiliary support feet 401 are movably connected to the bottom end of the protective plate 4. Two sets of auxiliary support feet 401 are provided and are arranged symmetrically.

The two protective plates 4 are engaged with the grooves of the one-end protective plate 4 through the protrusions. When the device moves, the protective plate 4 rotates upward to prevent the engine from being hit. When the device is placed, the protective plate 4 rotates downward, and the bottom auxiliary support feet 401 protrude downward through the screw rotation, thereby providing auxiliary support for the stability of the device.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, it can be concluded that: the support component 7 and the positioning component 6 are fixed by the support component 7 and the positioning component 6. When the position of the engine needs to be changed, the motor drives the screw 902 to drive the threaded slider 802 through the threaded groove. The movable crossbar 8 is limited on the guide rail 903 by the guide rail slider 801 through the guide rail slider 801. When the motor drives the threaded slider 802, the movable crossbar 8 slides on the guide rail 903, which can simultaneously adjust the position of the support component 7 and the positioning component 6, thereby changing the position of the engine supported on them. Moreover, when the device moves, the protective plate 4 rotates upward and is fixed by the protrusion and groove to prevent the engine from being hit. When the device is placed, the protective plate 4 rotates downward and is fixed by the protrusion and groove. The bottom auxiliary support foot 401 protrudes downward by the threaded rotation, thereby providing auxiliary support for the stability of the device.
