BED FOR RUNNING-IN AND TESTING OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: bed has base 1 carrying loading plant 2, satellite 3 with restoring pillows 5 to anchor engine on it, drive 4 for axial movement of satellite and device 6 for joining of shafts of engine 6 and loading plant 2 which includes two half-couplings 10 and 11. One of them being manufactured in the form of mated spline shaft 12 and bushing 13 kinematically coupled to power cylinder 21. Apart from them bed is provided with elastic coupling 20 with drive 26 to turn it about axis, support 25, guiding bushing 16 with conical starting part 17 and guiding pin 18 with conical starting part 19 made fast and concentrically arranged on spline shaft 12 of half-coupling 10. Spline shaft 12 is made fast to one end of elastic coupling 20 which second end is kinematically coupled to shaft 7 of loading plant 2. Guiding bushing 16 is hinged and concentrically put on half-coupling 10 made fast to shaft of engine. Support 25 is mounted on housing 22 for interaction with half-coupling 10 in uncoupled state. Turn drive 26 of elastic coupling 20 is coupled to drive of axial movement of satellite 3 which in its turn is coupled to power cylinder through control system. EFFECT: expanded functional capabilities. 1 dwg
