The invention provides an axial fatigue performance testing device for a connecting rod of a high-power
diesel engine and an application method thereof. The axial fatigue performance testing device comprises a lubricating device, a large-end fixture connected with a table of a
fatigue testing machine and a small-end fixture connected with an actuating cylinder of the
fatigue testing machine, wherein the large-end fixture is connected with the lubricating device through an oil return
pipe, and the small-end fixture is connected with the lubricating device through an oil inlet
pipe; the large-end fixture comprises a
chassis simulation crankshaft pin and a large-end fixture mechanism, the small-end fixture comprises a top plate, a
simulation piston pin and a small-end fixture mechanism, and the lubricating device comprises an
oil tank, an oil outlet, an oil return port, a
gear pump, a power switch, an overflow valve, a pressure gauge and a pressure gauge switch. The axial fatigue testingdevice has the characteristics of high rigidity,
fatigue resistance, convenient
assembly and disassembly and adjustable aperture, can be applicable to fatigue performance testing for large
diesel engine connecting rods with different apertures, has the characteristics of circulation flow of lubricating oil and adjustable pressure of the lubricating oil through setting the lubricating device and can simulate the lubricating state of the connecting rod in service.
