Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive knock sensor applications, specifically a mold for automotive knock sensors. Background Technology
[0002] A car knock sensor is a sensor used to detect engine knocking (knocking) phenomena. Knocking refers to the sudden premature combustion of fuel during the compression stroke in an internal combustion engine, producing a knocking sound that may damage the engine. The function of the knock sensor is to monitor the engine operating status in real time, detect knocking phenomena in a timely manner, and transmit the signal to the engine control unit.
[0003] The working principle of the knock sensor is based on the piezoelectric effect. The sensor is usually made of piezoelectric crystals, which can convert the vibration signals in the engine into electrical signals. When the engine knocks, the sensor will detect the high-frequency vibrations caused by the knock and transmit these signals to the ECU. The ECU will adjust the ignition timing or fuel supply according to the sensor signal to avoid knocking and protect the engine.
[0004] In practical applications, the normal operation of the knock sensor directly affects the stable operation of the engine. In order to effectively detect the knock sensor of a car before and after use, a mold for detecting the knock sensor is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a third bracket is provided on the inner side of the first bracket at the bottom of the striking plate, and the top of the third bracket and the bottom of the striking plate are connected by a second spring.
[0011] Preferably, by providing a second spring to pull the striking plate, the second spring can help the striking plate return to its original position.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a rotating rod is provided on the top of the detection device, and a traction rope is connected to one side of each of the two sets of fixed blocks, and the traction rope is wrapped around the outside of the rotating rod.
[0013] Preferably, by setting a rotating rod and a traction rope, when the positions of the two sets of moving seats are adjusted, the two sets of clamping blocks can be separated synchronously and quickly by rotating the rotating rod and pulling the traction rope, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of the sensor.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the traction rope extends through the outer wall of the first bracket to the outside of the first bracket, and the traction rope is supported by a fixed pulley on the outside of the first bracket.
[0015] Preferably, the traction rope can be positioned on the outside of the first support by setting a fixed pulley to support the traction rope.
[0016] The present invention is further provided that the top of the detection device is provided with a connection port for connecting a knock sensor.
[0017] Preferably, by setting a connection port and an interface connection with the knock sensor, the data measured by the knock sensor can be transmitted to the detection device.
[0018] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0019] This invention uses two sets of clamping blocks connected by a first spring to clamp the sensor, making sensor detection more convenient. The movable seat for mounting the clamping blocks is moved by a lead screw, and the distance between the two sets of clamping blocks can be manually adjusted to allow the equipment to clamp and detect sensors of different sizes. The clamping blocks are also connected to rotating rods and traction ropes at both ends for pulling, so that the clamping blocks can be separated by rotating the rotating rods and pulling the traction ropes, further improving the convenience of loading and unloading the sensors.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4A mold for an automotive knock sensor includes a testing device 1. A first bracket 3 is provided on one side of the testing device 1, and a second bracket 4 is provided on the inner side of the first bracket 3. A positive and negative lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first bracket 3. Two sets of movable seats 7 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the positive and negative lead screw 5. Rotating the positive and negative lead screw 5 can drive the two sets of movable seats 7 to move closer or further apart. Two sets of fixed rods 8 are movably installed at the bottom of each set of movable seats 7, and a first spring 10 is sleeved on the outer side of each set of fixed rods 8. A fixing block 9 is provided at one end of each set of fixed rods 8 to prevent the fixed rods 8 from sliding out of the movable seats 7. A clamping block 11 is provided at the other end of each set of fixed rods 8. A fourth bracket 13 is provided on the inner side of the first bracket 3, and a striking plate 14 is rotatably connected to the top of the fourth bracket 13. A drive assembly 16 is connected to one end of the striking plate 14. The drive assembly 16 can be composed of a drive motor and a cam, and the striking plate 14 can be repeatedly struck.
[0029] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 2 Two sets of guide rods 6 are provided on the inner side of the first bracket 3, and the two sets of guide rods 6 and the movable seat 7 are movably connected through each other. By setting the two sets of guide rods 6, the movement of the movable seat 7 can be restricted.
[0030] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 4 A third bracket 12 is provided on the inner side of the first bracket 3 at the bottom of the striking plate 14, and the top of the third bracket 12 and the bottom of the striking plate 14 are connected by a second spring 15. The second spring 15 can help the striking plate 14 to reset by pulling the striking plate 14.
[0031] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 4 The top of the detection device 1 is equipped with a rotating rod 17. One side of each of the two sets of fixed blocks 9 is connected to a traction rope 18, and the traction rope 18 is wrapped around the outside of the rotating rod 17. By setting the rotating rod 17 and the traction rope 18, when the positions of the two sets of moving seats 7 are adjusted, the two sets of clamping blocks 11 can be separated synchronously and quickly by rotating the rotating rod 17 and pulling the traction rope 18, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of the sensor.
[0032] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 4 The traction rope 18 extends through the outer wall of the first bracket 3 to the outside of the first bracket 3, and the traction rope 18 is supported by a fixed pulley on the outside of the first bracket 3. By supporting the traction rope 18 with a fixed pulley, the traction rope 18 can be placed on the outside of the first bracket 3.
[0033] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1The top of the detection device 1 is provided with a connection port 2 for connecting a knock sensor. By connecting the connection port 2 and the interface of the knock sensor, the data measured by the knock sensor can be transmitted to the detection device 1.
[0034] In practical operation, the operator first adjusts the positive and negative lead screws 5 according to the size of the knock sensor. Rotating the positive and negative lead screws 5 makes the two sets of moving seats 7 move closer or further apart, so that the two sets of clamping blocks 11 can clamp the sensor under the action of the first spring 10.
[0035] After the distance adjustment of the movable seat 7 is completed, the operator rotates the rotating rod 17 to actively wind the traction rope 18, which in turn pulls the two sets of fixing blocks 9 away from each other, that is, pulls the two sets of clamping blocks 11 away from each other. The two sets of clamping blocks 11 moving away from each other will compress the first spring 10. Next, the operator places the knock sensor on the top of the second bracket 4, releases the rotating rod 17, and under the reset action of the first spring 10, the two sets of clamping blocks 11 clamp the sensor. Then, the sensor interface and the connection port 2 are connected, and the drive component 16 is started. The drive component 16 repeatedly strikes the striking plate 14, and the end of the striking plate 14 strikes the bottom of the second bracket 4 in a regular manner. The vibration received by the second bracket 4 is transmitted to the sensor, and the detection device 1 displays the sensor's vibration data.
