Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind tunnels, and in particular to a mobile testing platform for use in high wind speed environments. Background Art

[0002] The mobile test platform is an important device used in tests. By placing the test equipment or test pieces on the test platform, test data can be collected during the movement of the platform, which plays an important role in tests that require mobility.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used test platforms are fixed, secured to the test area by bolts or columns, and are unable to meet the dynamic testing requirements of ultra-large tornado wind tunnels. Mobile platforms are primarily used in environments with natural wind speeds, and the difference in movement resistance between test and non-test conditions is minimal. When the test environment experiences high wind speeds, such as a complex tornado reaching 30m / s, the tornado's wind loads can create significant resistance and overturning moments on the platform. Test platforms can slip and tip over in such environments, significantly impacting test data. Summary of the Invention

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more comprehensive and detailed form below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. However, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1-7As shown, the present invention discloses a mobile test platform for use in a high wind speed environment, comprising a track 1, a running wheel group 2, a test platform 3 and an anti-overturning assembly 6 arranged in a super-large tornado wind tunnel. The running wheel group 2 and the anti-overturning assembly 6 are mounted on the bottom of the test platform 3. The rubber running wheel 21 of the running wheel group 2 is rollingly mounted on the track 1, and the anti-overturning assembly 6 is snap-fitted with the track 1. In order to achieve the fixation of the track 1, a track fixing assembly 5 is also included. The track fixing assembly 5 includes a pressure block 51 and a bolt 52. The track 1 is an I-shaped rail and can be directly made of an iron rail. The pressure block 51 is connected to the base by a bolt 52, and the ends of the pressure block 51 are pressed onto the wing plates on both sides of the bottom of the track 1. The rubber running wheel 21 of the running wheel group 2 is rollingly mounted on the track 1. The inner side of the rubber running wheel 21 is a steel wheel, and the outer side is fixedly sleeved with a rubber layer. The present invention utilizes rubber running wheels 21 on track 1 to increase the coefficient of friction and reduce the chance of slippage. Furthermore, when a large overturning moment is generated within a super-large tornado wind tunnel, the anti-overturning assembly 6 engages with track 1, preventing the test platform from tipping over in high wind speed environments. This simple structure and easy installation allow for use in high-wind-speed tornado testing environments, while also providing high positioning accuracy.

[0029] In this embodiment, the travel wheel assembly 2 further includes a motor drive assembly 22, a wheel frame 23, and an axle 24 pivotally connected to the wheel frame 23. The motor drive assembly 22 drives the axle 24 via a coupling. The wheel frame 23 is mounted on the bottom of the test platform 3 and has a Y-shaped fork structure. The rubber travel wheels 21 are mounted between the wheel frame bearing seats 25 on either side of the wheel frame 23 and are coaxially fixed to the axle 24. Two of the axles 24 of the four rubber travel wheels 21 are driven by the motor drive assembly 22. The wheel frame bearing seat 25 includes a seat body 251, a left end cap 252, a right end cap 253, and a wheel frame rolling bearing 254. The wheel frame rolling bearing 254 engages with the wheel axle 24 and is mounted within a bearing hole in the seat body 251. The left and right end caps 252 and 253 are bolted to either side of the seat body 251 and abut against the wheel frame rolling bearing 254, thereby limiting the axial position of the wheel frame rolling bearing 254.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to achieve lubrication of the wheel frame rolling bearing 254, a lubricating oil nozzle 255 connected to the bearing hole is provided on the seat body 251 for regularly adding lubricating oil, and a sealing ring 256 is provided between the left end cover 252, the right end cover 253 and the wheel axle 24 to seal the wheel frame rolling bearing 254 and prevent external impurities from entering and interfering.

[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-overturning assembly 6 includes a mounting seat 61 and a guide wheel 62. The guide wheel 62 is mounted on a guide wheel mounting bracket 63 on both sides of the mounting seat 61. The guide wheel 62 is in rolling connection with the side surface 11 of the wing plate at the top of the track 1. The guide wheel 62 acts as a limiter and guide on both sides, thereby achieving a certain anti-overturning effect. At the same time, the guide wheel 62 can also play a role in motion guidance, thereby improving walking accuracy. A pressure wheel 64 is also installed at the bottom of the guide wheel mounting bracket 63. The pressure wheel 64 is in rolling connection with the bottom surface 12 of the wing plate at the top of the track 1. That is, the pressure wheel 64 moves upward from the bottom of the bottom surface 12 of the wing plate at the top of the track 1, thereby forming a technical effect of "grasping" the track 1, further improving the anti-overturning effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to adjust the clamping force of the pressure wheel 64, a pressure wheel up and down adjustment mechanism 7 is also included. The pressure wheel up and down adjustment mechanism 7 includes an adjusting screw 71, an upper pressure plate 72, an adjusting nut 73 and a guide rod 74. The lower end of the adjusting screw 71 is pivotally connected to the mounting seat 61, and the upper end is slidably connected to the upper pressure plate 72 fixed to the test platform 3. The adjusting nut 73 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 71 to adjust the upper and lower positions of the adjusting screw 71. During adjustment, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting nut 73 to adjust the upper and lower positions of the mounting seat 61, thereby adjusting the degree of clamping of the pressure wheel 64 on the mounting seat 61. The bottom of the guide rod 74 is fixed to the test platform 3, and the upper end is slidably connected to the upper pressure plate 72. At the same time, in order to realize the installation of the pressure wheel 64, the guide wheel mounting frame 63 is installed with a mounting shaft 67, a sleeve 65 and a pressure wheel rolling bearing 66. The inner hole of the sleeve 65 is threadedly connected to the mounting shaft 67. The sleeve 65 is sleeved in the pressure wheel rolling bearing 66 and limits the axial position of the pressure wheel rolling bearing 66. A lubrication channel 68 for lubricating the pressure wheel rolling bearing 66 is provided in the mounting shaft 67 and the sleeve 65. The lubrication channel 68 includes an axial lubrication hole arranged along the axial direction of the mounting shaft 67 and a radial lubrication hole arranged along the radial direction, so that the lubricating oil is guided into the pressure wheel rolling bearing 66 through the sleeve 65.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to better buffer and absorb shock, the pressure wheel up and down adjustment mechanism 7 includes a tensioning spring 75, which is sleeved on the guide rod 74, and the lower end of the tensioning spring 75 abuts against the test platform 3, and the upper end abuts against the upper pressure plate 72.

[0034] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, utilize the technical content disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
