The following description of preferred embodiments involves combinations of features, which may exist independently or in combination; this utility model is not particularly limited to the preferred embodiments. The scope of this utility model is defined by the claims.

[0029] like Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model proposes a grounding system for wind tunnel testing equipment, including: a grounding grid for the testing equipment 5, a combined grounding body for the building 6, and a main grounding terminal box for measurement and control 7.

[0030] The grounding grid 5 of the test equipment is installed underground and is dedicated to the use of the test equipment to ensure the stability of the reference potential of the test equipment and the accuracy of the test data.

[0031] The building grounding electrode 6 is used to ground other electrical equipment and lightning protection equipment in the building. It is set at a minimum horizontal distance of 10 meters from the grounding network 5 of the test equipment to prevent mutual interference between the building grounding electrode 6 and the grounding network 5 of the test equipment.

[0032] The grounding wires of each piece of equipment or equipment in each area are uniformly connected to a single grounding terminal box 9 for monitoring and control signal points. Several grounding terminal boxes 9 for monitoring and control signal points are connected to a main grounding terminal box 7 for monitoring and control via a second shielded armored cable 8. The main grounding terminal box 7 for monitoring and control is electrically connected to the grounding grid 5 of the test equipment via a first shielded armored cable 4, ensuring that the grounding potential of each piece of test equipment is consistent. The shielding layer and armor layer of both the first shielded armored cable 4 and the second shielded armored cable 8 are connected across the building's grounding electrode to prevent leakage and ensure safety.

[0033] The first shielded armored cable 4 is a shielded armored copper cable with a cross-sectional area of ​​120 square millimeters or more, and a plastic tube is provided on the outer surface of the first shielded armored cable 4.

[0034] The second shielded armored cable 8 is a shielded armored copper cable with a cross-sectional area of ​​70 square millimeters or more.

[0035] The grounding grid 5 of the test equipment includes several grounding units and grounding wells 3. Each grounding unit includes a closed grid-shaped horizontal connector 1 and a vertical direct ground electrode 2. The vertical direct ground electrode 2 is electrically connected to the horizontal connector 1, and the several horizontal connectors 1 form a mesh structure. The interval between any two vertical direct ground electrodes 2 is at least 10 meters. Any vertical direct ground electrode 2 is set vertically, with a burial depth of not less than 0.8 meters and a length of 2.5 meters.

[0036] Both the vertical ground electrode 2 and the horizontal connector 1 are made of Φ16 copper-clad steel.

[0037] The grounding resistance of grounding grid 5 of the test equipment is not greater than 0.1 ohms.

[0038] This invention proposes an innovative grounding system for wind tunnel testing equipment. This system establishes a closed signal circuit grounding network by setting up an independent grounding network 5 for the testing equipment, separate from the building's combined grounding electrode 6. For the grounding lead-in cable 4, the system employs open-laid plastic conduit and shielding armor technology to ensure physical isolation from the building's reinforcing steel and other metal components. This design fundamentally avoids strong and weak electromagnetic interference within the building, significantly improves the stability of the testing equipment's signal reference potential, and simultaneously reduces signal grounding resistance and shielding grounding interference.

The grounding wires of the test equipment in different areas are first connected to the main grounding terminal box 9, and multiple main grounding terminal boxes 9 are then connected to the main grounding terminal box 8, effectively solving the problem of signal reference potential drift during testing. This not only improves the reliability of the reference potential but also greatly enhances the accuracy and precision of the test data. The system has a simple structure, is easy to operate, fully meets the stringent requirements for signal grounding during the movement of test equipment, and possesses excellent anti-interference performance.
