DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle air-conditioning air inlet test device of the present invention comprises an air pressure sensor 2, a bellows 3, an air flow meter 4, an axial flow fan 6, an air volume regulating device, and a temperature and humidity sensor 8.

[0018] The bellows 3 is rectangular, and a moving wheel (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the bottom of the bellows 3 to facilitate the movement of the test device and docking with the air-conditioning product to be tested. An air inlet 9 and an air outlet 1 are provided on the side of the bellows 3. The bellows 3 contains an air flow channel 10 inside, and the air inlet 9 and the air outlet 1 are connected through the air flow channel 10. The air flow channel 10 is used to simulate the transition air duct between the external circulation air outlet of the automobile air conditioner and the windshield air inlet grille of the whole vehicle. The air outlet 1 is used to connect the air inlet of the air-conditioning product to be tested. The air pressure sensor 2, the air flow meter 4, the axial flow fan 6, and the temperature and humidity sensor 8 are arranged in the air flow channel 10. The air pressure sensor 2 is close to the air outlet 1 to monitor the air inlet back pressure in the air flow channel 10. The air flow meter 4 is used for the air flow through the air flow channel 10. The axial flow fan 6 is used to introduce the external air into the air inlet of the air conditioner through the air flow channel 10. The temperature and humidity sensor 8 is used to measure the physical properties of the air. The air volume adjustment device 7 is arranged at the air inlet 9 to adjust the air volume of the air inlet 9.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the air volume regulating device 7 comprises a conical block 7-1, an adjusting handle 7-2, an air inlet baffle 7-3, an air inlet grille 7-4, a screw 7-5, and a bracket 7-6. The air inlet grille 7-4 is arranged at the air inlet 9, the air inlet baffle 7-3 is arranged inside the air inlet grille 7-4, the conical block 7-1 is arranged in the through hole of the air inlet baffle 7-3, the bracket 7-6 is fixed on the air inlet grille 7-4, the screw 7-5 is arranged in the threaded hole of the bracket 7-6, one end of the screw 7-5 is connected to the conical block 7-1, and the other end is connected to the adjusting handle 7-2. Its working principle is: external air enters the air box 3 through the air inlet grilles 7-4 on both sides, shaking the handle 7-2 can make the conical block 7-1 realize horizontal displacement, adjust the gap size between the conical block 7-1 and the through hole of the air inlet baffle 7-3, and finally realize the change of the air volume and air resistance due to the change of the air inlet area.

[0020] The air outlet 1 is connected to the air inlet end of the product to be tested. For various air inlet conditions, the rotation speed of the axial flow fan 6 needs to be adjusted to achieve the required air volume and back pressure combination.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet 1 is located at the upper left side of the air box 3, the air inlet 9 is located at the lower right side of the air box 3, and two upper and lower guide baffles 11 are provided inside the air box 3. The air flow channel 10 is divided into three layers of shorter flow channels, namely, upper, middle and lower layers, by the guide baffles 11. The three layers of flow channels are connected end to end in sequence to form a serpentine arrangement. The right end of the lower layer flow channel is connected to the air inlet 9, the upper left end of the lower layer flow channel is connected to the lower left end of the middle layer flow channel, the upper right end of the middle layer flow channel is connected to the lower right end of the upper layer flow channel, and the left end of the upper layer flow channel is connected to the air outlet 1. The axial flow fan 6 is located in the middle of the lower layer flow channel, the temperature and humidity sensor 8 is located at the lower left end of the lower layer flow channel, the air flow meter 4 is located in the middle, and the air pressure sensor 2 is located at the upper left end of the upper layer flow channel. The air flow channel 10 is arranged in a serpentine shape, and the provided channel can not only meet the instrument layout of the performance test, but also save space length.

[0022] An open-cell foam material layer 12 is laid inside the airflow channel 10 , and the open-cell foam material has a sound-absorbing effect, eliminating the slight noise that may be generated by the airflow passing through the axial flow fan 6 and the air flow meter 4 , thereby ensuring the sound quality of the air outlet 1 .

[0023] The air pressure sensor 2, air flow meter 4, axial flow fan 6, and temperature and humidity sensor 8 are respectively connected to the electrical control box 5. The electrical control box 5 is also provided with a human-computer interaction interface. During the test, the measured data signals are transmitted to the electrical control box 5 through the temperature and humidity sensor 8, the air flow meter 4, and the air pressure sensor 2. The gas flow, back pressure, temperature and humidity information of the air flow channel can be displayed through the human-computer interaction interface, and the speed of the axial flow fan 6 can be controlled. All the above parameter information can be transmitted to the computer software through the external data line of the electrical control box 5 for post-processing analysis.

[0024] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
