Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of simulation devices, in particular to an airflow simulation device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, wind tunnel tests are increasingly used in aerospace, wind power generation and other fields. A wind tunnel is an experimental device that simulates an airflow field. It generates high-speed airflow artificially and is used to test the aerodynamic performance of an object at high speed. However, traditional large wind tunnels are large in size, occupy a large area, are difficult to install and transport, and have high construction costs, making them inconvenient to promote and apply. Therefore, it is of great significance to study small wind tunnel technology.

[0003] In the prior art, the design and production of small wind tunnels mainly rely on experience accumulation and trial and error methods. These methods have limitations in optimizing wind tunnel performance and are difficult to meet a variety of test requirements. In addition, the airflow regulation performance and stability of existing small wind tunnels are poor, and the accuracy of the test results is difficult to guarantee. Utility Model Content

Slide grooves are arranged on both the left and right sides of the front end of the inner wall of the air inlet box along its height direction, and a rectifier grille that matches with the two slide grooves is detachably connected therebetween. A control panel is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the air inlet box, and a controller and a frequency converter are installed in the control panel. The first fan, the second fan, the frequency converter and the control panel are all electrically connected to the controller, and a power cord electrically connected to the controller is arranged on one side of the bottom of the outer wall of the controller.

The second fan draws the gas in the air inlet box and blows it into the device box after it is accelerated by the contraction of the air duct. The gas entering the device box will flow forward under the push of the second fan, so as to test the aerodynamic performance of the object, while the first fan can extract the gas in the device box, which can not only ensure that the airflow in the front half of the device box remains highly fluid, but also avoid the generation of vortices, thereby ensuring the stability of the experimental environment.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the airflow entering and flowing out of the device can be quickly sucked in and discharged, ensuring the high-speed flow of the airflow in the device box.

[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: an air inlet groove is provided above the rear end of the outer wall of the air inlet box along its length direction.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rotation speed of the first fan and the second fan is low and the box cover is closed, the airflow entering the air inlet box will not be affected.

[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: smoke generators are installed on both left and right sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the air inlet box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can know the gas flow rate more intuitively through the flow speed of the flue gas.

[0015] The utility model is further configured as follows: a wind speed sensor is installed on one side of the inner wall of the device box above the connecting rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for the staff to know the flow rate of the gas in the device box, so as to make corresponding adjustments according to the progress of the experiment.

[0017] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] First, the utility model occupies a small area, is stable to install and disassemble, and can also ensure the stability of airflow during the experiment, thereby improving the accuracy of the experimental results;

[0019] Secondly, the gas of the utility model can have a faster flow rate when entering the device box through the air guide tube, and when the gas flows in the front half of the device box, it can not only maintain a higher flow rate, but also will not form eddies to affect the accuracy of the experiment;

[0020] Thirdly, the smoke generator of the utility model can facilitate the staff to know the flow velocity state of the airflow more intuitively through the transparent device box. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] Example, see Figure 1-4 , an airflow simulation device, comprising a device box 1 with an upper end open and made of a transparent material, a sealing cover 11 which can be opened and sealed is hinged on one side of the open end of the device box 1, a connecting rod 18 is arranged on one side of the rear end of the inner wall of the device box 1, a wind speed sensor 19 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the device box 1 above the connecting rod 18, a through hole 12 is opened inwardly at both the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the device box 1, a first fan 13 which is detachably connected and communicated with the device box 1 is installed at the front end of the outer wall of the device box 1, a first air guide scoop 14 which is horn-shaped and communicated with the first fan 13 is arranged between the air inlet of the first fan 13 and the corresponding through hole 12, an air guide pipe 15 which is communicated with the corresponding through hole 12 is arranged at the rear end of the outer wall of the device box 1, and a second fan 16 which is detachably connected and communicated with the device box 1 is installed at the rear end of the air guide pipe 15.

[0031] An air inlet box 2 with an open upper end is provided at the rear of the second fan 16, and a box cover 21 matching with the air inlet box 2 is hinged on one side of the open end of the air inlet box 2. An air inlet groove 26 is provided above the rear end of the outer wall of the air inlet box 2 along its length direction, and a smoke generator 23 is installed on both sides of the left and right sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the air inlet box 2. A connecting hole 22 is provided inwardly at the front end of the outer wall of the air inlet box 2, and the air inlet of the second fan 16 is connected to the connecting hole 22 and is detachably connected thereto.

[0032] The air inlet of the second fan 16 is connected to a second air guide scoop 17 which is connected to the connecting hole 22 and is in the shape of a trumpet. A slide groove 24 is arranged on both sides of the front end of the inner wall of the air inlet box 2 along its height direction. A rectifier grille 25 which is detachably connected to the two slide grooves 24 is arranged to cooperate with it. A control panel 27 is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the air inlet box 2. A controller 28 and a frequency converter 29 are installed in the control panel 27.
