Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerodynamic analysis technology for power transmission lines, and in particular to a wind tunnel experimental apparatus and method for measuring the force of power transmission lines under oblique wind conditions. Background Technology
[0002] The aerodynamic characteristics of icing conductors are key parameters for studying conductor galloping. To ensure the safe operation of transmission lines and avoid accidents, it is essential to study the aerodynamic characteristics of icing conductors. Wind tunnel testing is currently a very important and commonly used research method.
[0003] In wind tunnel testing of the aerodynamic characteristics of icing conductors, studying the aerodynamic characteristics of conductors under oblique wind is essential and crucial. To simulate actual conductor wind conditions, and considering engineering convenience and practicality, a 1.4m × 1.4m low-speed wind tunnel is currently used in China. This 1.4m × 1.4m wind tunnel serves as a guide wind tunnel for the 8m × 6m large low-speed wind tunnel. Currently, this wind tunnel is positioned as a research-oriented wind tunnel for flow mechanism research, preliminary research on experimental technologies, and wind engineering and wind energy testing.
[0004] The traditional method for measuring the aerodynamic characteristics of conductors involves rigidly connecting the conductor to the center of the wind tunnel and fixing the conductor's installation position. This makes it difficult to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of the conductor under varying wind conditions. Currently, there is a lack of research on this issue both domestically and internationally. Therefore, how to fill this gap from an engineering perspective and minimize the cost of wind tunnel testing equipment is of great value and significance. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Wind tunnel;
[0009] The upper end plate is installed inside the wind tunnel and located above the lower end plate;
[0010] The lower end plate is rotatably mounted inside the wind tunnel and can rotate relative to the wind tunnel around a first rotation center, which is perpendicular to the axis of the wind tunnel.
[0011] The multi-split conductor model is movably connected to the upper end plate and the lower end plate at its top and bottom ends, respectively. The multi-split conductor model may or may not be connected to the icing model.

[0013] The automatic telescopic machine can rotate relative to the wind tunnel around a second rotation center, which is parallel to or coincides with the first rotation center.
[0014] In particular, the wind tunnel experimental device for measuring the force of transmission lines under oblique wind also includes a rotating base and a connecting rod.

[0023] This application provides a wind tunnel experimental method for measuring the force on transmission lines under oblique wind conditions, which utilizes the aforementioned wind tunnel experimental apparatus. The wind tunnel experimental method includes the following steps:
[0024] The angle between the multi-split traverse model and the horizontal plane is adjusted by an automatic telescopic mechanism;
[0025] The multi-split duct model undergoes slight deformation under wind force, which in turn pulls the upper and lower end plates to undergo slight deformation. The minute deformation of the end plates can be obtained through the balances at both ends. Finally, the aerodynamic parameters of the duct model are measured and transmitted through the balances.
[0026] Optionally, before the fan starts operating, the initial angle of attack of the multi-split wire model can be adjusted by rotating an external motor connected to the lower end plate.

The connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the wind tunnel 1. The connecting rod 5 can rotate relative to the wind tunnel 1 around a second rotation center, which is perpendicular to the axis of the wind tunnel 1. The first rotation center is parallel to the second rotation center.
[0044] Both the upper end plate 6 and the lower end plate 9 are installed inside the wind tunnel 1. The lower end plate 9 is located above the rotating base 4 and is fixedly connected to the rotating base 4. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 2 is movably connected to the connecting rod 5, and the lower end of the hydraulic rod 2 is movably connected to the upper end plate 6.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the multi-split conductor model 8 are rotatably connected to the upper end plate 6 and the lower end plate 9 via shafts, respectively.
[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in one possible design, the multi-split conductor model 8 is rigidly connected to the icing model 7.
[0047] Balances 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper end plate 6 and the lower end plate 9, respectively. In one possible design, as shown in the figure, the two balances 3 are fixed to the upper end plate 6 and the lower end plate 9 with bolts, respectively, and correspond to the upper and lower parts of the same conductor.
[0048] In one possible design, the lower end of the hydraulic rod 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end plate 6 via a shaft, and the upper end of the hydraulic rod 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 5 via a shaft. Specifically, the hydraulic rod 2 is connected to the center position of the upper end plate 6, and the rotating base 4 is connected to the center position of the lower end plate 9.

[0050] In one possible design, the rotating base 4 passes through the lower wall of the wind tunnel 1 and connects to a motor (not shown in the figure) outside the wind tunnel 1. The rotation of the motor can drive the lower end plate 9 to rotate, thereby adjusting the initial angle of attack of the multi-split conductor model 8.
[0051] In one possible design, the connecting rod 5 passes through the upper wall of the wind tunnel 1 and is fixedly connected to the upper turntable outside the wind tunnel 1. Specifically, the connecting rod 5 is connected to the flange of the upper turntable by bolts and locating pins.

This wind tunnel experimental setup has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and offers high measurement accuracy.
[0056] Based on the aforementioned wind tunnel experimental setup, this embodiment discloses a wind tunnel experimental method suitable for force measurement of transmission lines under oblique wind conditions, comprising the following steps:
[0057] The windward angle of the multi-split conductor model 8 is adjusted by the telescopic hydraulic rod 2;
[0058] The multi-split conductor model 8 undergoes slight deformation under wind force, which in turn pulls the upper end plate 6 and the lower end plate 9 to undergo slight deformation. The small deformation of the end plates can be obtained through the balances 3 at both ends. Finally, the aerodynamic parameters of the conductor model are measured and transmitted through the balances 3.
[0059] Optionally, before the fan starts working, the initial angle of attack of the multi-split wire model 8 can be adjusted by rotating an external motor connected to the lower end plate 9.
[0060] In this embodiment, the tilt angle between the multi-split conductor model 8 and the ground is adjusted by controlling the length of the hydraulic rod 2, thereby changing the windward angle. The changes in aerodynamic parameters are studied using real-time data transmitted by the balance 3.
[0061] In one possible design, the hydraulic rod 2 can be replaced with an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder, or other automatic telescopic mechanism.
[0062] In this embodiment, the influence of the slanted wind direction on the icing conductor is realized by adjusting the tilt angle of the conductor through an automatic telescopic mechanism in a low-speed wind tunnel. After the conductor is subjected to wind force and rotates along the vertical line of the wind tunnel axis, the drag, lift, and torque of the conductor model are measured by a balance.
