Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of bionic non-smooth surface structures, and particularly relates to a variable bionic non-smooth surface drag reduction test device. Background Technique

[0002] With the increasingly serious energy consumption, the energy problem has become an issue that the world must face and solve, and energy conservation and consumption reduction are extremely urgent. Reducing the resistance suffered by an object can reduce energy consumption and improve energy utilization efficiency. The surface friction drag accounts for a large proportion. For example, the surface friction drag of a ship accounts for about 50% of the total drag, and the surface friction drag of an underwater vehicle even accounts for 70% of the total drag. In the long-distance transportation of natural gas and oil, almost all the power of the pumping stations is used to overcome the fluid surface friction drag.

[0003] When a fluid flows past an object in a real environment, many types of drag may be generated depending on different situations, such as friction drag, form drag, induced drag, and wave drag, etc. The current drag reduction technologies mainly focus on how to reduce the negative impacts of friction drag and form drag. For form drag, organisms in nature generally make their own forms as streamlined as possible to reduce pressure drag. For friction drag, different organisms adopt different strategies.

[0004] However, most traditional bionic drag reduction studies are based on simulation or fixed structures for testing, and each aspect has certain limitations. Therefore, it is particularly important to research and design a small, low-cost, simple-structured, and convenient-to-test variable bionic non-smooth surface drag reduction test device.

[0034] This utility model mainly simplifies the fine three-dimensional tooth-shaped structure on the surface of a bionic shark into rib structures of different shapes, and then obtains the best drag reduction ability under certain conditions (such as fluid medium and fluid velocity) by flexibly adjusting the shapes and sizes of different rib structures, and proposes a variable bionic non-smooth surface drag reduction test device.

[0035] A variable bionic non-smooth surface drag reduction test device according to an embodiment of the present application includes a bionic non-smooth surface variable module, a distance adjustment module, and a motor drive module. Each module cooperates with each other to adjust the distance of the bionic non-smooth surface.

[0036] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the bionic non-smooth surface variable module includes a variety of test blocks for drag reduction performance testing, namely a replaceable V-shaped block 3, a replaceable blade-shaped block 21, and a replaceable U-shaped block 22, and is connected to the distance adjustment module through a fixing plate 16.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the distance adjustment module includes a bottom plate 1, a support seat, a driving moving block 11, a plurality of driven moving blocks 12, and a plurality of limiting plates 17. The support seat includes a left support seat 2 and a right support seat 5. The test block can cooperate with the dovetail grooves opened on the left support seat 2, the driving moving block 11, and the driven moving blocks 12, and is connected through a fixing plate 16. According to the test requirements, the above three different types of test blocks can be selected for drag reduction performance testing. Four driven moving blocks 12 are provided, and rectangular through holes are provided inside, and are sequentially connected to the left support seat 2. Five limiting plates 17 are provided and are sequentially fixed to the left support seat 2, the four driven moving blocks 12, and the driving moving block 11 through limiting screws 18.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance adjustment module further includes a lead screw 4, a circular spring 10, a spring rod 9, a left bearing 14, a right bearing 19, a left end shaft retaining ring 15, and an internal spring 13. The left support seat 2 is connected to the bottom plate 1 through a limiting screw 18. A bearing hole is opened inside the left support seat 2, and the left bearing 14 is fixed inside the left support seat 2 through the left end shaft retaining ring 15. Spring fixing holes are opened inside the four driven moving blocks 12, and the internal spring 13 is placed in the spring fixing holes.

[0039] The right support base 5 is connected to the bottom plate 1 by a limit screw 18, and has a bearing hole inside. The right bearing 19 is fixed inside the right support base 5 by a right-end shaft retaining ring 20. The lead screw 4 is installed on the left bearing 14 and the right bearing 19. The active moving block 11 is internally provided with a threaded hole and is connected to the lead screw 4. The spring rod 9 is fixed on the left support base 2 and the right support base 5, and sequentially passes through 4 passive moving blocks 12 and the active moving block 11 through spring fixing holes. Internal springs 13 and circular springs 10 are installed on the spring rod 9. The distance adjustment module is used to adjust the distance between the bionic non-smooth surface variable modules.

[0041] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, a hydrogel diaphragm is adhered above the bionic non-smooth surface variable module. Due to the ductility of the hydrogel itself, it can effectively isolate the external fluid environment and the surface of the instrument. When it is necessary to test the bionic non-smooth surface, the motor 7 is driven to drive the lead screw 4 to rotate, thereby driving the active moving block 11 to move back and forth. Due to the presence of the internal spring 13 between the active moving block 11 and the passive moving blocks 12, the passive moving blocks 12 can move equidistantly between each other, and between the active moving block 11 and the passive moving blocks 12, so that the distance between the bionic non-smooth surfaces can be adjusted, and the resistance performance test of the bionic non-smooth surface at different distances can be completed.

[0042] The above is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation of the claims. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and its specific structure is allowed to change. In short, all changes made within the protection scope of the independent claims of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
