[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a device for testing the directivity of an electret microphone includes a base 1 and a bracket 3 connected to the top of the base 1 through a lifting assembly 2.

[0026] The inner wall of the top of the base 1 is rotatably connected to a turntable 4, and a clamping assembly 5 for fixing the electret microphone is provided on the top of the turntable 4. Two symmetrically arranged vacuum tubes 6 are fixed to the top of the base 1 by bolts. The inner walls of the two vacuum tubes 6 are respectively fixedly connected to a sound generator 7 and a sound receiver 10. The bottom of the clamping assembly 5 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 8, and the other end of the rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to a first motor 9 through a coupling. The first motor 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the base 1 by bolts. The electret microphone is fixed to the clamping assembly 5, and the sound generator 7 is started to output sound waves. The sound waves are received by the sound receiver 10 after passing through the electret microphone and recorded. The volume of the front position is adjusted, the first motor 9 is started to drive the rotating shaft 8 to drive the turntable 4 and the clamping assembly 5 to rotate, and the direction of the electret microphone is changed. The above steps are repeated to test the sensitivity of sound waves in different directions. The directional characteristics of the electret microphone are compared and analyzed according to the test results. By setting the turntable 4, the rotating shaft 8 and the first motor 9, the direction of the electret microphone can be changed under the transmission cooperation of the three. Compared with manual operation, the accuracy is higher, the accuracy of the test is improved, and the setting of the vacuum tube 6 can generate a stronger output signal, ensuring that the accuracy of the test results is not affected by attenuation of the sound wave during the transmission process.

[0027] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a baffle 13 is provided on the top of the base 1, and sound insulation cotton 12 is fixedly bonded to the inner wall of the baffle 13. The provision of the sound insulation cotton 12 and the baffle 13 can reduce external noise interference and further improve the accuracy of the test. The lifting assembly 2 includes a screw rod 14 and a fixed rod 15. The screw rod 14 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the base 1 and the bracket 3, and the fixed rod 15 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the base 1 and the bracket 3. The outer wall of the base 1 is fixed with a second motor 11 by bolts, and the output shaft of the second motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 14 through a coupling. The baffle 13 and the screw rod 14 are threadedly matched, and the baffle 13 is slidably matched with the outer wall of the fixed rod 15. The second motor 11 is started to drive the screw rod 14 to rotate, and under the limit cooperation of the fixed rod 15, the baffle 13 and the sound insulation cotton 12 are driven to rise and fall.

[0028] Furthermore, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 5 includes a box body 16 and a bidirectional threaded rod 17. The box body 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 4. The bidirectional threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 16, and one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 passes through the box body 16 and is fixedly connected to a knob 19. The outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 18. The top of the connecting block 18 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped clamping plate 21 through a guide rod 20, and the guide rod 20 is slidably limited with the inner wall of the box body 16.

[0029] By rotating the knob 19, the characteristics of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 can be used to drive the two connecting blocks 18 to move relative to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21. When the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21 gradually becomes smaller, the electret microphone is placed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21, and the knob 19 is continued to be rotated until both arc-shaped clamping plates 21 are in contact with the edges of the electret microphone and maintain a certain pressure, thereby fixing the electret microphone.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figures 1-4 As shown, the principle of the device for testing the directivity of an electret microphone provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] When using the device, first rotate the knob 19, and use the characteristics of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 to drive the two connecting blocks 18 to move relative to or away from each other, and adjust the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21. When the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21 gradually becomes smaller, place the electret microphone between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 21, and continue to rotate the knob 19 until both arc-shaped clamping plates 21 are in contact with the edges of the electret microphone and maintain a certain pressure to achieve the fixation of the electret microphone. Then start the second motor 11 to drive the screw rod 14 to rotate, and at the limit of the fixing rod 15, With the cooperation, the baffle 13 and the sound insulation cotton 12 are lowered until the baffle 13 contacts the top of the base 1, which can reduce external noise interference and further improve the accuracy of the test; the sound generator 7 is started to output sound waves, and the sound waves are received by the sound receiver 10 after passing through the electret microphone, and the volume at the current position is recorded. Then the first motor 9 is started to drive the rotating shaft 8 to drive the turntable 4 and the clamping assembly 5 to rotate, and the direction of the electret microphone is changed. The above steps are repeated to test the sensitivity of sound waves in different directions, and the directional characteristics of the electret microphone are compared and analyzed according to the test results.
