Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product testing technology, specifically to a wiper blade testing device based on barrel-shaped glass. Background Technology

[0002] As an important automotive component, the sliding friction performance of windshield wipers directly affects the driver's visibility and safety. The wiper blade, as the core component of the wiper, directly impacts the wiper's lifespan and wiping effectiveness. Currently, the process typically involves first mounting the wiper arm on a freely rotating output shaft, with the wiper blade connected to it. Under the pressure of the wiper arm, the wiper blade's rubber strip is pressed against the glass. Then, a spring scale or other force-measuring device is used, acting perpendicularly on the middle of the wiper blade, pulling it to rotate at a uniform speed around the output shaft. The coefficient of friction (μ) between the wiper blade and the glass is calculated using the traction force and the wiper arm pressure.

[0003] While theoretically simple, in practice, the traction speed is difficult to keep constant. Furthermore, the direction of the traction force and the angle of the wiper blade are difficult to adjust, resulting in large testing errors and limitations, making it difficult to meet the requirements of actual testing and use. Additionally, existing wiper blade testing systems often have limited functionality, failing to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the blade and unable to simulate performance changes under different temperature conditions, leading to significant discrepancies between test results and actual usage.

The mounting vertical plate is provided with a horizontal slide rail and a horizontal lead screw. A sliding plate is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail, and the sliding plate is threadedly engaged with the horizontal lead screw. A manual crank is provided at one end of the horizontal lead screw.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the horizontal lead screw is connected to a manual crankshaft via an optical shaft, the optical shaft passes through a locking block, and the locking block is provided with a first bolt for locking the optical shaft.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This solution uses torque and pressure sensors to measure torque and pressure in real time, thereby determining the friction between the wiper blade and the barrel-shaped glass. At the same time, the temperature control mechanism can adjust the temperature of the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass in real time to simulate the working state of the wiper blade under different seasonal climate conditions and detect the performance (torque, pressure and friction) changes of the wiper blade at different temperatures.

[0017] 2. This solution allows for adjustment of the lateral position of the wiper blade via a lateral movement mechanism, adjustment of the deflection angle of the wiper blade via a swing mechanism, and application of pressure to the wiper blade via a telescopic cylinder, ensuring that the wiper blade remains in sliding contact with the barrel-shaped glass.

[0026] The wiper blade 4 slides in contact with the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass 1. The wiper blade 4 is fixedly installed on the position adjustment mechanism 25, and a pressure sensor 5 is provided at the fixed end of the wiper blade 4 to measure the pressure of the wiper blade 4 on the barrel-shaped glass 1 in real time. The temperature control mechanism includes a hot air blower 22 facing the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass 1 and an infrared thermometer 23 to regulate the temperature of the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass 1. The test platform 6 is used to install and integrate the barrel-shaped glass 1, the motor 2, the position adjustment mechanism 25 and the temperature control mechanism.

[0027] The test platform 6 also integrates a controller, which includes a data processing module electrically connected to the torque sensor 3 and the pressure sensor 5, and an image generation module electrically connected to the data processing module. Preferably, this solution can use a Siemens 1212 PLC as the acquisition and data analysis center, and collect data at a frequency of 10 Hz, and fit and output the data and timeline on the Weintek display screen.

[0028] This solution calculates the friction between the wiper blade 4 and the barrel-shaped glass 1 by measuring torque and pressure in real time. The test data is then processed by the data processing module and the image generation module to generate curve images of parameters such as torque, pressure, and friction, allowing users to intuitively understand the performance change trend of the wiper blade 4. At the same time, the temperature control mechanism can adjust the temperature of the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass 1 in real time to simulate the working state of the wiper blade 4 under different seasonal climate conditions and detect the performance change of the wiper blade 4 at different temperatures.

[0029] The position adjustment mechanism 25 of this solution includes a lateral movement mechanism, on which a swing mechanism is provided. The lateral movement direction of the lateral movement mechanism and the swing surface of the swing mechanism are both perpendicular to the axis of the wiper blade 4. A telescopic cylinder 7 is provided on the swing mechanism, and a pressure sensor 5 is provided at the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 7. A clamp 8 for installing the wiper blade 4 is provided on the pressure sensor 5.

[0030] Specifically, the horizontal movement mechanism includes a mounting vertical plate 9 fixed to the test platform 6 via a mounting bracket 26. The mounting vertical plate 9 is provided with a horizontal slide rail 10 and a horizontal lead screw 11. A sliding plate 12 is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 10, and the sliding plate 12 is threadedly engaged with the horizontal lead screw 11. One end of the horizontal lead screw 11 is connected to a manual crank 13 via an optical shaft. The optical shaft passes through a locking block 14, and a first bolt 15 for locking the optical shaft is provided on the locking block 14. In this scheme, the sliding plate 12 can be driven to slide horizontally by the manual crank 13. Through the cooperation of the first bolt 15 and the locking block 14, the optical shaft and the horizontal lead screw 11 can be precisely locked, thereby achieving precise locking of the position of the sliding plate 12.

[0031] The swing mechanism includes a fixed plate 16 fixed on a sliding plate 12, a swing plate 17 rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 16, second bolts 18 on both sides of the fixed plate 16, and arc-shaped grooves 19 on both sides of the swing plate 17 to facilitate the passage of the second bolts 18. A pointer 20 is mounted on the top of the swing plate 17, and an arc-shaped scale line 21 that cooperates with the pointer 20 is mounted on the fixed plate 16. In this design, the second bolts 18 can be used to lock the swing plate 17 after the angle adjustment is completed, and the deflection angle of the swing plate 17 can be observed through the cooperation of the pointer 20 and the arc-shaped scale line 21.

[0032] The working process of this plan will be explained in detail below:

[0033] In actual testing, the user installs the wiper blade 4 to be tested onto the fixture 8 and makes it slide in contact with the outer wall of the barrel-shaped glass 1. The required test parameters are set (such as adjusting the temperature of the barrel-shaped glass 1 via a temperature control mechanism and recording the test time via a timer). After the system starts, it automatically tests parameters such as pressure, friction, and torque, and transmits the test data to the data processing module and image generation module in real time. Based on the test data, corresponding curve images are generated, allowing the user to intuitively understand the performance of the wiper blade 4. Simultaneously, the user can also heat or cool the test environment as needed to detect performance changes of the wiper blade 4 at different temperatures. This allows for the generation of performance curve images at different temperatures according to the user's requirements, providing a comprehensive performance evaluation report.
