[0025] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but it should not be understood that the scope of the subject matter described in the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. Without departing from the above-mentioned technical ideas of the present invention, various modifications, substitutions and changes made according to the common technical knowledge and customary means in the field are included in the scope of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the assessment requirements of most products, the assessment device adopts an integrated design, with the product fixing device 2 on the far left, and the product installation position 12 on one side of the product fixing device 2. A variable joint 11 is arranged in the product installation position 12 area, and the right side of the variable joint 11 is mainly composed of a frequency converter 3, a counter 4, a motor 5, an eccentric rotating block 6, a sensor 7 and an adjustment and promotion transition device 9.

[0027] The product fixture 2, the frequency converter 3, the counting sensor 7 and the counter 4 are directly mounted on the work surface 1, while the motor 5, the eccentric rotating block 6 and the adjusting and pushing transition device 9 are fixed on the work surface 1 through the mounting plate. The connecting section 8, the detachable extension section 10 and the variable joint 11 are connected to the eccentric rotating block 6 through the adjusting and pushing transition device 9, and finally the cockpit vent product to be tested is fastened by the product fixture 2 so that the adjusting gear or blade is in the product installation position 12 area.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the motor 5 provides torque as a power source to drive the eccentric rotating block 6 to rotate. The eccentricity here refers to the rotating shaft located in the linear groove on the eccentric rotating block 6. The rotating shaft is not at the center of rotation of the motor 5, but deviates from the center by a distance, which is used to adjust the blade or the shifting angle of the adjusting gear. The rotating shaft is pressed in the linear groove of the eccentric rotating block 6 by two nuts to keep the position relative to the linear groove unchanged. At the same time, a sensor trigger block, such as a magnet, is also fixed on the rotating shaft to trigger the sensor 7 during the rotation process. One end of the connecting section 8 is similar to a movable bolt, and the through hole of the movable bolt is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The other end of the connecting section 8 is a fork ear structure, which is hinged with the detachable extension section 10 so that the two can rotate. The connecting section 8 and the detachable extension section 10 are both rigid linear rods, and a part of the detachable extension section 10 performs linear motion in the slideway inside the adjustment push transition device 9. The other end of the detachable extension section 10 is connected to the variable joint 11. The variable joint 11 has different shapes according to different needs. For example, when the blades need to be moved, a sheet-shaped paddle is used, and when the adjustment gear (for adjusting the angle of the blades) needs to be pushed, a U-shaped paddle is used. When the motor 5 rotates, the eccentric rotation of the shaft is adjusted to the linear reciprocating motion of the detachable extension section 10, thereby cyclically moving the blades or adjusting the gears.

[0029] According to the adjustment and assessment requirements of most vent products, the work surface 1 is a horizontal surface, the toggle rate is adjustable, which is realized by the frequency converter 3, and the data recording of the toggle frequency and number is realized by the counter 4. The product fixing device 2 includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp, and the upper clamp slides up and down through a vertical rod, so as to clamp the cabin vent product between the upper clamp and the lower clamp.

[0030] During the assessment test, first turn on the power of the work surface 1 (this power serves as the total power supply of the motor 5, counter 4 and inverter 3), fix the cabin vent product on the product installation position 12, and fix the cabin vent product with the product fixing device 2, select the variable joint 11 according to the structural form of the cabin vent, and select the appropriate length of the detachable extension section 10 according to the external dimensions of the cabin vent product. After the installation is completed, turn on the power of the inverter 3 and the counter 4, adjust the speed of the inverter 3 according to the frequency requirement of the product, turn on the counter 4 to record the number of times of dialing, and form a cycle.

[0031] The testing device of the utility model can accurately control the toggle angle, position and frequency of the vent. The work table 1 and the mounting plate are welded from stainless steel. The device is cheap, light and easy to move.

[0032] Specifically, the main steps in durability assessment are as follows:

[0033] Step 1: Turn on the power of the work surface 1, fix the cabin vent product at the product installation position 12, fix the cabin vent product with the product fixing device 2, select the variable joint 11 according to the structural form of the vent, and select the appropriate detachable extension section 10 according to the size of the cabin vent.

[0034] Step 2. After the installation is completed, turn on the power supply of the inverter 3 and the counter 4, adjust the speed of the inverter 3 according to the frequency requirement of the dialing product, and turn on the counter 4 again to record the number of dialing times (when the power supply of the counter 4 is turned on, the counting result of the previous assessment test is displayed. After turning it on again, the counter 4 is reset and a new record is started), forming a cycle.

[0035] Step three, according to the requirements of the assessment outline, control the size of the turning resistance, turning frequency, turning amplitude, and number of times of the cabin vents, record the assessment results based on data such as the output torque of the motor 5, the output frequency of the inverter 3, and the count on the counter 4, and finally evaluate the durability (lifespan and reliability) of the cabin vents.

[0036] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
