[0031] The following is a reference to Figures 1 - 3 describe the boundary layer measurement device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] For the boundary layer measurement device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the boundary layer measurement device 100 includes a mounting bracket 10, a Y-direction adjustment mechanism 20, a Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30, and a measurement rake total pressure tube 50. The mounting bracket 10 is used to mount the Y-direction adjustment mechanism 20, the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30, and the measurement rake total pressure tube 50, and provides a mounting position for the Y-direction adjustment mechanism 20, the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30, and the measurement rake total pressure tube 50.

[0033] Wherein, in the present invention, the Y direction is the left-right direction of the vehicle, the Z direction is the up-down direction of the vehicle, and the X direction is the front-back direction of the vehicle.

[0034] The boundary layer measurement device 100 is used to measure the thickness of the boundary layer in the wind tunnel. When the vehicle is stationary in the wind tunnel, a velocity is applied to the air in the wind tunnel. Since when the gas flows over the solid surface, a thin fluid region will be formed in the vicinity of the solid surface. In this region, due to the viscous action (i.e., the viscosity of the fluid) between the gas and the solid surface, the velocity of the gas gradually increases from zero at the surface to the velocity in the mainstream region. This region is the boundary layer; while when the vehicle is actually running, the vehicle moves but the air does not move, and the air has a velocity relative to the vehicle, which is opposite to that during the wind tunnel test. Therefore, a series of measures need to be taken in the wind tunnel to reduce the thickness of the boundary layer to approximate the actual operation of the vehicle. Therefore, it is particularly important to measure the thickness of the boundary layer.

[0035] The mounting bracket 10 is mounted on the wind tunnel floor. The mounting bracket 10 includes a track 11, and the track 11 is spaced apart from the wind tunnel floor. The mounting bracket 10 may further include a support rod 12 for supporting the track 11 on the wind tunnel floor. The Y-direction adjustment mechanism 20 can move in the Y direction along the track 11. The Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 is connected to one side of the Y-direction adjustment mechanism 20 in the X direction, and the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 can move in the Z direction. The measurement rake total pressure tube 50 is connected to one side of the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 in the X direction, and the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 is used to drive the measurement rake total pressure tube 50 to move in the Z direction.

[0036] When measuring the thickness of the boundary layer using the boundary layer measuring device 100, the boundary layer measuring device 100 is installed on the wind tunnel floor. First, measure the thickness of the boundary layer at a pre-selected position. After the measurement here, the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake can be moved in the Y direction by adjusting the Y-direction adjusting mechanism 20 to measure the position after the movement; after adjusting the Y-direction adjusting mechanism 20, the Z-direction adjusting mechanism 30 can be further adjusted to drive the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake to move in the Y and Z directions to measure the position after the movement. Without moving the boundary layer measuring device 100, by only adjusting the Y-direction adjusting mechanism 20 and the Z-direction adjusting mechanism 30, the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake can be moved in the Y and Z directions, making the test range of the boundary layer measuring device 100 wider, with less aerodynamic interference, and more convenient to use.

[0037] For the boundary layer measuring device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by adjusting the Y-direction adjusting mechanism 20 and the Z-direction adjusting mechanism 30, the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake can be moved in the Y and Z directions, which not only facilitates the use of the boundary layer measuring device 100, but also makes the test range of the boundary layer measuring device 100 wider and has less aerodynamic interference.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the Y-direction adjusting mechanism 20 includes a moving frame 21 and a Y-direction fixing member 22. The moving frame 21 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the track 11, which can increase the structural strength of the connection between the moving frame 21 and the track 11 and prevent the moving frame 21 from falling off the track 11; the moving frame 21 can be fixed to the track 11 by the Y-direction fixing member 22, which can prevent the moving frame 21 from continuing to move along the track 11 and also makes the way of fixing the moving frame 21 to the track 11 simple.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the Y-direction fixing member 22 includes a Y-direction fixing bolt. The Y-direction fixing bolt passes through the moving frame 21 to abut against the track 11, making the way of fixing the moving frame 21 by the Y-direction fixing bolt simple; when it is necessary to move the moving frame 21, the Y-direction fixing bolt can be loosened so that the Y-direction fixing bolt no longer abuts against the track 11, and the moving frame 21 can move in the Y direction along the track 11.

[0040] For example, the moving frame 21 has a first fixing hole with internal threads, and the Y-direction fixing bolt has external threads. The Y-direction fixing bolt passes through the first fixing hole so that the internal threads cooperate with the external threads to prevent the Y-direction fixing bolt from falling out of the first fixing hole.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3, the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 includes a Z-direction moving member 31 and a Z-direction adjusting member 32. The Z-direction adjusting member 32 is used to adjust the movement of the Z-direction moving member 31 in the Z direction, and the movement of the Z-direction moving member 31 in the Z direction can drive the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake to move in the Z direction.

[0042] For example, the Z-direction moving member 31 may include a lifting table, and the Z-direction adjusting member 32 may include an adjusting knob. By rotating the adjusting knob, the lifting table can be driven to move in the Z direction. For another example, the Z-direction adjustment mechanism 30 may include a driving cylinder. The Z-direction moving member 31 may include a cylinder block and a telescopic rod, and the Z-direction adjusting member 32 may include a piston for driving the telescopic rod to move in the Z direction.

[0043] In some specific examples, when measuring the boundary layer thickness, loosen the Y-direction fixing bolt, adjust the position of the moving frame 21 in the Y direction, move the boundary layer measuring device 100 to the position to be measured, and adjust the position of the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake in the Z direction through the Z-direction adjusting member 32. After determining the measurement range, connect the hose to the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake, and use a pressure scanning valve instrument to complete the measurement of the boundary layer thickness.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the boundary layer measuring device 100 further includes a support frame 40. The support frame 40 is connected between the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake and the Z-direction moving member 31, facilitating the connection of the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake to the Z-direction moving member 31 and the installation of the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake.

[0045] For example, the support frame 40 may be connected between the upper surface of the Z-direction moving member 31 and the upper surface of the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake. For another example, the support frame 40 may be connected between the side surface of the Z-direction moving member 31 and the side surface of the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the total pressure tube 50 of the measuring rake includes a first row of total pressure tubes 51 and a second row of total pressure tubes arranged side by side in the Y direction. The first row of total pressure tubes 51 and the second row of total pressure tubes both extend in the X direction. Both ends of the first row of total pressure tubes 51 and the second row of total pressure tubes in the X direction have openings. A total pressure tube connecting hose is connected to the openings near the rear of the vehicle of the first row of total pressure tubes 51 and the second row of total pressure tubes, and a pressure scanning valve instrument is used to complete the measurement of the boundary layer.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the first row of total pressure tubes 51 includes a plurality of first branch tubes 511 arranged in the Z direction, and the second row of total pressure tubes includes a plurality of second branch tubes arranged in the Z direction. The plurality of first branch tubes 511 and the plurality of second branch tubes are arranged staggeredly in the Z direction.

[0048] Multiple first branch pipes 511 can measure multiple different data within different unit lengths in the Z direction, and multiple second branch pipes can measure multiple different data within different unit lengths in the Z direction, so that more test data can be obtained within a unit length. The total pressure pipe 50 of the measurement rake adopts a double-row total pressure pipe arrangement, and the double-row total pressure pipes are arranged staggeredly, making the effective measuring point interval smaller, thereby ensuring more test data within a unit length in the Z direction and making the spatial resolution of the boundary layer measurement smaller.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the first row of total pressure pipes 51 and the second row of total pressure pipes are arranged in contact with each other in the Y direction, so that the effective measuring point interval of the first row of total pressure pipes 51 and the second row of total pressure pipes in the Y direction is smaller, thereby ensuring more test data within a unit length in the Y direction and effectively improving the spatial resolution of the boundary layer measurement.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the mounting bracket 10 further includes a plurality of support rods 12. The plurality of support rods 12 are connected to one side of the track 11 in the Z direction to support the track 11 so that the track 11 can be spaced apart from the wind tunnel floor. There are two support rods 12, and the two support rods 12 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the track 11 along the Y direction, facilitating the measurement of the total pressure pipe 50 of the measurement rake.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 - 3 , the mounting bracket 10 further includes a plurality of bases 13. The number of bases 13 is equal to and corresponds to the number of support rods 12 one by one. The bases 13 are located on the side of the support rods 12 facing the wind tunnel floor, and the bases 13 are installed on the wind tunnel floor. The bases 13 can increase the connection area between the boundary layer measurement device 100 and the wind tunnel floor, and further increase the stability of the boundary layer measurement device 100 installed on the wind tunnel floor.

[0052] For example, there are two bases 13, and the two bases 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support rods 12. A fixing rod 14 is also connected between the base 13 and the support rod 12, and the fixing rod 14 extends obliquely to increase the connection strength between the base 13 and the support rod 12.

[0053] In the description of this specification, the description referring to terms such as "some embodiments", "optionally", "further", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
