SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0023] The content expressed by each figure in the specification of the present application and the marks in the figures are briefly described as follows:

[0024] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the uniformity evaluation method of the present application;

[0025] Figure 2 It is a distribution diagram of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below by comparing the figures and describing the optimal embodiments.

[0027] The uniformity evaluation index of the radiator in the present application refers to the wind speed on the surface of the radiator. The heat dissipation performance of the radiator is related to the wind speed blown onto the surface of the radiator by the fan. In the design of the automobile, whether the wind speed on the surface of the radiator meets the requirements is comprehensively considered. When the requirements are met, the uniformity of the radiator meets the performance requirements. Otherwise, when the uniformity of the radiator cannot be met, the heat dissipation problem will be caused. Therefore, the uniformity evaluation needs to be carried out. According to the uniformity result, whether the setting position, direction, angle and the like of the radiator system meet the requirements is judged. If the requirements are not met, the adjustment can be made until the requirements are met. The experimental vehicle and the test in the early development stage have good purposes.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , it is a flow chart of a radiator speed uniformity evaluation method of the present application. The uniformity evaluation method comprises,

[0029] Step 1: Calculate the total area A of the outlet of the radiator; the total area A can be calculated by pre-inputting or directly obtained;

[0030] Step 2: Set multiple detection points on the surface of the radiator, and calculate the wind speed at each detection point; the wind speed sensor corresponding to the detection point can detect the wind speed data of each detection point;

[0031] Step 3: Calculate the average speed V of the surface of the radiator based on the wind speed corresponding to the multiple detection points. The average value of the wind speed of each point is obtained by adding the wind speed of each detection point and dividing by the total number of detection points;

[0032] Step 4: Calculate the area A` covered by the detection points in the set speed range; the set speed range is set based on the average speed V. Generally, the speed range V1 is set as V2

[0033] Step 5: Calculate the parameter UI for evaluating the speed uniformity based on A` and A. Whether the uniformity meets the requirements is judged based on the UI value. The parameter UI is the ratio of the area of the set speed range to the total area. That is, the calculation method of the parameter UI for evaluating the speed uniformity is:

[0034] UI=A` / A.

[0035] Step 6: Judge whether the radiator meets the uniformity requirements at this time based on the uniformity parameter UI. When the UI value is greater than the set threshold UI1, it is judged that the uniformity meets the requirements. Otherwise, it is judged that the uniformity does not meet the requirements.

[0036] In the present application, if the heat sink and its setting are judged to be unqualified, the problem can be adjusted directly and then verified again until the uniformity meets the requirements, and then the heat sink at this time can be judged to meet the requirements.

[0037] Step 7: Because the evaluation of uniformity in the present application is to judge the uniformity by the proportion of the area corresponding to the range meeting the requirements to the total area, the corresponding proportion data and the corresponding distribution diagram can be directly output. When the UI value meets the uniformity requirement, the heat sink uniformity distribution diagram is displayed, wherein the distribution diagram is a schematic diagram of the area corresponding to the sampling points with the speed in the set speed range to the total area. As shown in the figure, the area occupied by the sampling points is colored with a certain color, such as gray or other colors, to represent that this part is in the range of 0.6V-1.4V, which can be directly displayed on the image. In this way, the position and range of the area A` occupying the total area A can be displayed, which can directly represent the performance and uniformity of the heat sink whether it meets the requirements. Figure 2

[0038] In the present application, a heat sink speed uniformity evaluation system is also provided, which comprises a collection unit, a calculation unit and a result output unit, wherein:

[0039] The collection unit collects the total area A of the heat sink and the wind speed of each sampling point through a plurality of sampling points arranged on the surface of the heat sink, and the output end is connected to the calculation unit;

[0040] The calculation unit calculates the average speed V of all sampling points and the area A` of the sampling points between V*0.6 and V*1.4, and further calculates the uniformity evaluation parameter UI; the output end of the calculation unit is connected to the result output unit;

[0041] The result output unit is used to output the uniformity evaluation result according to the calculated parameter UI. The evaluation result is based on UI to judge whether the uniformity requirement is met, and the position of the sampling point with the speed between 0.6V and 1.4V on the total surface area of the heat sink can be adjusted according to the center of each sampling point with a certain radius. When the speed of the point is within the threshold value, the area of the circle is colored, and after coloring all the detection points in this way, the corresponding distribution diagram can be obtained, and the angle and position can be adjusted based on the distribution diagram until the uniformity requirement is met.

[0042] The present application has the advantages of A is the total area, A' is the area of ±40% of the average speed V, and the ratio of the acceptable speed area to the total area. The uniformity evaluation parameter is simple and fast to calculate, more intuitive than the traditional method, and the surface speed uniformity distribution can be directly viewed in post-processing. ​

[0043] Obviously, the specific implementation of the present application is not limited by the above-mentioned manner, as long as various non-essential improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solutions of the present application, which are within the protection scope of the present application.
