[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, a gas flow testing device disclosed in a specific embodiment of the present invention includes an airflow monitoring structure 200 and a clamping structure 300 installed on a workbench 100; the clamping structure 300 is used to provide a support fixture 310 for the workpiece 400 to be tested and to clamp and fix it; the support fixture 310 is connected to the workpiece 400 to be tested, and the support fixture 310 is provided with an air inlet 311 for communicating with the output end of the airflow monitoring structure 200. The external airflow enters the support fixture after passing through the airflow monitoring structure and is delivered to the workpiece to be tested.
[0025] The aforementioned gas flow testing device has a clamping structure that provides a supporting fixture for the workpiece to be tested and clamps and fixes it, providing stable and secure placement conditions for testing. The overall structure is simple and the cost is low. It can meet the testing needs of different workpieces by simply changing the supporting fixture, thus expanding the scope of application and reducing the overall cost.
[0026] The supporting fixture, which acts as a gas flow transfer component, makes the airflow smoother for accurate detection. The airflow monitoring structure can monitor and display various data such as airflow velocity, air pressure, and temperature, so as to collect and process them in a unified manner to obtain more accurate test data.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping structure 300 includes a support plate 320, on the top surface of which a clamping assembly 330 is mounted. The clamping assembly is used to position and limit the bottom of the support fixture. A vertical rod 340 is mounted on the top surface of the support plate 320, and a cantilever 350 is mounted on the vertical rod 340. The cantilever extends to one side above the center of the support plate, and a clamping fixture 360 is mounted at the end of the cantilever 350. The clamping fixture is used to clamp and fix the workpiece to be tested placed on the support fixture. The whole structure is a detachable structure, and the components are relatively simple, which is convenient for processing and production, and the overall cost is low. Moreover, it uses the clamping fixture as the main force-applying component, which is simple to operate and easy to use. It should be noted that the clamping fixture used is a push-pull type clamping fixture, which can be directly purchased and used on the market, and will not be described in detail.
[0028] Furthermore, the top surface of the support plate 320 is provided with a plurality of first threaded holes 321 arranged in a rectangular array. The bottom of the upright 340 and the clamping assembly 330 are both fixed to the top surface of the support plate 320 by bolts. The setting of the first threaded holes allows the entire top surface of the support plate to be used as a part for installation and connection, which can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the clamping assembly and better meet the placement and fixing of different support fixtures.
[0029] The upright 340 has multiple through holes 341 penetrating the two opposite side walls. The through holes are arranged in groups of one or two and are evenly spaced along the length of the upright. The cantilever 350 is fixed to the upright 340 by bolts passing through the through holes 341. This structure allows the height of the cantilever to be adjusted, which means that the height of the clamping fixture can be adjusted. This allows for better adaptation to the use of support fixtures with different heights for different workpieces, thereby satisfying the clamping and pressing of different workpieces.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom end of the clamping rod of the clamping fixture is provided with a second threaded hole for installing a clamping bolt. The extension length of the clamping bolt can be adjusted to further adapt to different workpieces to be tested, and can be used as a fine-tuning part to further enhance the overall clamping effect.
[0031] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 330 includes at least three limiting blocks 331, which are L-shaped. The horizontal portion of the limiting block 331 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 332 extending along the length direction. The length of the strip-shaped hole is not less than the distance between two adjacent first threaded holes. The limiting block is fixed to the top surface of the support plate by bolts passing through the strip-shaped hole and the first threaded hole. The upright portions of the multiple limiting blocks 331 form a clamping portion that is adapted to the bottom of the support fixture. It uses multiple adjustable limiting blocks as clamping components, which can be adjusted according to the position of the clamping fixture and the shape of the support fixture to provide a stable clamping effect.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet of the support fixture is located on the top surface of the support fixture, and the air inlet of the workpiece to be tested is located on the bottom surface of the workpiece to be tested. The outer side of the air outlet of the support fixture 310 is provided with a limiting groove 312 that matches the bottom shape of the workpiece to be tested 400. The bottom of the workpiece to be tested is appropriately placed in the limiting groove, so that the two are internally connected, which can facilitate alignment and prevent deviation. A sealing gasket 313 is provided at the connection between the workpiece to be tested 400 and the support fixture 310. The clamping fixture is used to clamp the workpiece to be tested, and the sealing gasket is squeezed and deformed to seal the connection. This structure limits the direction of the force applied by the clamping fixture to push the workpiece to be tested towards the support fixture, and the sealing gasket strengthens the seal at the connection to prevent air leakage or venting from affecting the accuracy of the inspection.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the airflow monitoring structure 200 includes a flow valve 210, a pressure gauge 220, a flow meter 230, and a thermometer 240 installed sequentially on a delivery pipe 250. The input end of the delivery pipe is connected to external compressed gas. The output end of the delivery pipe 250 is connected to a gas delivery hose 260, and the end of the gas delivery hose 260 is equipped with a pipe connector 270 that matches the air inlet of the support fixture. The pressure gauge, flow meter, and thermometer detect and display relevant data of the airflow. By adjusting the flow valve, the flow rate is controlled, so that the overall detection is in a controllable state. According to different workpieces to be tested, corresponding adjustments can be made to further expand the scope of application.
[0034] It should be noted that flow valves, pressure gauges, flow meters, and thermometers are all common airflow monitoring instruments. Their connection methods and corresponding layouts with pipelines are also quite common and well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be elaborated on in detail.
[0035] Furthermore, the workbench panel has an opening, and a support frame is provided below the opening, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the panel; the main component of the airflow monitoring structure is placed on the support frame, and the control and display components of the airflow monitoring structure extend out of the top of the opening and are located above the top surface of the panel; a cover is installed at the opening, and the cover includes two spliced and assembled cover plates; a latch is provided on one side of the spliced part of the cover plates, and the latches of the two cover plates are correspondingly set to form multiple holes for the components to pass through;
[0036] Furthermore, the delivery pipe is connected to the pressure gauge and thermometer via branch pipes, and the pressure gauge and thermometer are installed on the branch pipes. The provided holes are mainly for the installation of monitoring instruments, such as the flow valve adjustment rod, the flow meter display screen, and the branch pipes for installing the pressure gauge and thermometer. All of these pass through the corresponding holes, so that the slotted components and display components are located above the panel, which facilitates data viewing and corresponding operation and control. The main body and pipeline below are covered by the cover to maintain the overall aesthetics.
[0037] Furthermore, a recessed groove is provided on the top outer side of the opening to provide a support for the installation of the cover, preventing the cover from falling off; the two cover plates are a separate structure, and the two cover plates are connected by snaps or magnetic attraction to maintain the required connection and meet the blocking effect of the opening, preventing other loose parts from falling from the opening, and not affecting the disassembly and assembly of other structural components.
[0038] This utility model has been described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein; other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
