The invention provides a method for selecting the position of an engine knock sensor, and belongs to the technical field of engine detection. According to the method, the point selection program is simplified, the point selection process is streamlined, the operation execution effectiveness is high, and the position point selection accuracy is high. The method comprises the following steps: loading an engine on a test
bed, connecting a test tool, confirming test boundary conditions, setting detection variables, obtaining knock data based on LMS vibration
noise test equipment, drawing a knock energy curve,
processing and analyzing the collected
test data by using Testlab
software to draw a knock cloud picture, analyzing to obtain a knock sensor mounting point, and detecting the knock sensor mounting point according to the knock cloud picture. And finally, detecting the qualification degree of the
set point of the knock sensor by using Kibox equipment. According to the method, the maximum position of the
vibration acceleration is measured through LMS vibration
noise, a test tool is replaced with a knock sensor on the point, the vibration
signal strength in a knock cloud picture is checked through Kibox equipment to judge whether the point is appropriate or not, the
test structure is accurate and reliable, the process is clear, and the operation execution effectiveness is high.
