Excavator self-detection system and method

Abstract

An excavator self-detection system comprises a controller, a fuel inlet flow meter, a fuel outlet flow meter and a performance self-detection controller. The fuel inlet flow meter and the fuel outlet flow meter are deployed at a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet of an engine respectively, and are connected to the performance self-detection controller. The performance self-detection controller is connected to the controller. The performance self-detection controller reads the signal values of the fuel inlet flow meter and the fuel outlet flow meter, calculates a fuel consumption value, and reads a machine parameter of the excavator through the controller to determine the performance. A detection method is also provided which uses the above excavator self-detection system. The method comprises performance self-detection, a fuel consumption test, and an efficiency test. The measuring equipment can be set by itself according to different machine types and different communication protocols. The detection device of the present invention aims to the different excavators with different communication protocols setting, therefore it owns strong portability. The condition of people waste is effectively reduced, and by means of the self-detection function, the measurement precision is improved.
