[0047] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The wave pressing mechanism 103 includes a bottom plate 1031, and a front plate 1032 and a rear plate 1033 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the bottom plate 1031 in a slanting manner.

Specifically, a part of the straight wing rudder paddle 200 is located on the upper side of the clearance hole 1034, and the paddle blade of the straight wing rudder paddle 200 is located below the clearance hole 1034.

[0048] In the embodiment, a camera is arranged on the frame body 101. Specifically, the frame body 101 is composed of a plurality of cross beams and longitudinal beams. On this basis, the frame body 101 further includes an extension frame 111 on which a camera is arranged. For example, a camera for shooting the straight wing rudder paddle 200 can be arranged. A camera for shooting other sensors or other structures can also be arranged. The video or image shot by the camera can be used to analyze whether each mechanism works normally.

[0049] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The sensor includes a torque sensor 105.

[0050] Specifically, the torque sensor 105 can obtain corresponding data in real time during the process that the straight wing rudder paddle 200 advances in the wave pool. After the data is collected, the performance of the straight wing rudder paddle 200 can be analyzed.

[0051] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sensor further comprises a six-component force sensor 108, one end of the six-component force sensor 108 is connected with a lower cover 109, the lower cover 109 is used to be connected with the housing 201 of the straight wing rudder paddle 200, the other end of the six-component force sensor 108 is connected with the bottom end of the upper support 107, the motor 104 and the torque sensor 105 are fixed on the upper support 107, for example, the motor 104 is arranged at the top of the upper support 107, the torque sensor 105 is arranged below the motor 104 and connected with the upper support 107, the upper support 107 is connected with an upper cover 112 through a connecting disc 110, and the motor 104 and the torque sensor 105 are located inside the upper cover 112.

The upper cover 112 is cylindrical as a whole and can be divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part has a smaller diameter, and the lower part has a larger diameter.

[0052] Specifically, when the straight wing rudder paddle 200 works in water, the straight wing rudder paddle 200 will be subjected to external force, since one end of the six-component force sensor 108 is connected with the lower cover 109, and the lower cover 109 is connected with the housing 201 of the straight wing rudder paddle 200, the working straight wing rudder paddle 200 can be measured through the six-component force sensor 108 to obtain corresponding mechanical data.

[0053] On the basis of the above, the upper cover 112 is floatingly connected with the frame body 101, that is, the upper cover 112 can move relative to the frame body 101.

The height of the upper cover 112 can be adjusted through the lead screw mechanism 118, and since the upper cover 112 is connected to the straight wing rudder paddle 200 through other components, the height of the straight wing rudder paddle 200 will also be adjusted accordingly after the height of the upper cover 112 is adjusted. In this way, flexible and accurate adjustment of the height of the straight wing rudder paddle 200 can be achieved.

[0060] Further, the present application is provided with the second sliding rail assembly 119, the support frame 120 is arranged on the second sliding rail assembly 119 and can move along the second sliding rail assembly 119, and the arrangement direction of the second sliding rail assembly 119 is consistent with that of the first sliding rail assembly 113, which makes the support frame 120 also move correspondingly when the upper cover 112 moves, and the lead screw mechanism 118 on the support frame 120 will not interfere with the movement of the upper cover 112.

[0061] It should be noted that the straight wing rudder propeller testing device of the present application is connected with the straight wing rudder propeller 200 in specific use, that is, the straight wing rudder propeller 200 is connected with the lower housing 109, and at the same time, the input shaft of the straight wing rudder propeller 200 is connected with the torque sensor 105 through the shaft coupling. The propeller blade of the straight wing rudder propeller 200 is located below the accommodation hole 1034 of the bottom plate 1031 of the wave compression mechanism 103.

[0063] In the above testing method, the moving speed of the straight wing rudder propeller 200 in water can be obtained through the moving speed of the trailer, and the mechanical property data of the straight wing rudder propeller 200 in operation can be obtained through the torque sensor 105, the six-component force sensor 108 and the tension sensor.
