Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive engine testing, specifically to a structural vibration measurement device. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid rise of the automotive industry has led to the standardization and specialization of various automotive parts. In the automotive industry and even the entire power machinery sector, the engine, as a core component, directly determines a product's competitiveness and market position. Therefore, engine testing is not only a necessary step in product design and development but also a crucial means of driving technological innovation and improving product quality.

[0003] Engine testing is the process of testing and evaluating various performance parameters of an engine. This testing is typically conducted during the engine's research and development, production, and maintenance phases to ensure that the engine's performance meets design requirements and can operate reliably under various operating conditions. Engine testing can be categorized into several types, including performance testing, durability testing, environmental adaptability testing, reliability testing, and vibration and noise testing, with the specific test content and methods depending on the engine type and application.

[0004] In existing technologies, engine vibration testing typically simulates the vibration environment of the engine during transportation or use, and then collects vibration data using vibration sensors. However, during conventional vibration testing or direct measurement using vibration sensors, the sensors come into contact with objects outside the engine, such as parts used to fix the sensors. This contact can affect the engine's vibration characteristics, leading to too many sources of signal interference, hindering vibration signal acquisition, and causing signal instability. Consequently, the measured waveform is often unstable, and the amplitude cannot be quickly adjusted to obtain the relevant curve. Furthermore, existing vibration sensors are not convenient for fixed installation. Therefore, current technologies for engine vibration testing have certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easy to understand, the following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example

[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a front view of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a half-sectional view of the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a structural vibration measurement device, including: a protective shell 10, a connecting and mounting assembly 20, a vibration sensor 30, a sensing probe 40, an adjustment and limiting assembly 50, and an elastic element 60.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the protective shell 10 has a cylindrical cavity 11 arranged along the axial direction inside. The cavity wall of the cavity 11 is provided with internal threads. Both ends of the protective shell 10 are provided with circular holes that can communicate with the cavity 11. The diameter of the first circular hole 12 at one end of the protective shell 10 is smaller than the diameter of the cavity 11, and the diameter of the second circular hole 13 at the other end is not smaller than the diameter of the cavity 11.

[0031] The protective shell 10 can be mounted on a movable bracket, allowing for easy contact between the device and the engine during vibration testing. This movable bracket is a mature and common linear motion mechanism found in the prior art, such as a ball screw linear motion mechanism, a sliding guide linear motion mechanism, or a motor-driven linear motion mechanism. In this embodiment, the movable bracket is preferably a sliding guide linear motion mechanism.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the connecting mounting assembly 20 includes a mounting clip 21, an elastic washer 22, an elastic retaining ring 23, and a connecting button 24. The mounting clip 21 is inserted into the first circular hole 12. A through hole 211 is formed inside the mounting clip 21 along its axial direction, with two openings located on the two end faces of the mounting clip 21. The elastic washer 22 is disposed between the mounting clip 21 and one end wall of the cavity 11. The elastic retaining ring 23 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting clip 21 and located outside the protective shell 10. The connecting button 24 passes through the through hole 211 and has a limiting section 241 and a through section 242. The limiting section 241 is located inside the cavity 11 and has a limiting portion 2411 with an annular protrusion 221. The diameter of the limiting portion 2411 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 211. One part of the through section 242 is located inside the through hole 211, and the other part of the through section 242 extends through the through hole 211 to the outside of the protective shell 10. The size of the through section 242 is smaller than the size of the through hole 211. Mounting grooves are provided on the end faces of both the limiting section 241 and the through section 242.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting buckle 21 is T-shaped, having a horizontal section 212 and a vertical section 213. The horizontal section 212 is located inside the cavity 11, and its sidewall fits against the inner wall of the cavity 11. The diameter of the horizontal section 212 is not less than the diameter of the limiting part 2411. An annular groove 2121 is formed on the bottom wall of the horizontal section 212, and the inner diameter of the annular groove 2121 is larger than the diameter of the vertical section 213. An elastic washer 22 is disposed between the bottom wall of the horizontal section 212 and the inner end wall of one end of the cavity 11. The elastic washer 22 has an annular protrusion 221 on the outer wall of the horizontal section 212 that can engage with the annular groove 2121. The vertical segment 213 is inserted into the first circular hole 12. An annular groove 2131 is formed on the side wall of the vertical segment 213 outside the first circular hole 12. An elastic retaining ring 23 is disposed in the annular groove 2131 and fits against the outer end wall of the upper end of the protective shell 10. The horizontal segment 212 and the vertical segment 213 of the mounting buckle 21 are divided by the horizontal and vertical of a T-shape, not by the horizontal and vertical division of the mounting buckle 21 arrangement direction in the attached drawings.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic retaining ring 23 is a shaft elastic retaining ring.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic washer 22 is an elastic washer made of rubber.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vibration sensor 30 is mounted on the connection button 24 through the first mounting groove 2412 on the end face of the limiting section 241.

[0037] In this embodiment, the vibration sensor 30 is located inside the elastic member 60.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the sensor probe 40 is mounted on the connection button 24 through the second mounting groove 2421 on the end face of the through section 242.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the adjusting and limiting assembly 50 includes a fixed cover plate 51, multiple fixing nuts 52, a limiting shaft 53, and an adjusting shaft 54. The fixed cover plate 51 is annular and is mounted on the other end of the protective shell 10 by multiple fixing nuts 52. The limiting shaft 53 is engaged with the fixed cover plate 51, and a mounting hole 531 is provided inside the limiting shaft 53 along its axial direction. The adjusting shaft 54 ​​is T-shaped and has a horizontal part 541 and a vertical part 542. The horizontal part 541 is located inside the cavity 11, and its shaft wall fits against the cavity wall of the cavity 11. The shaft wall of the horizontal part 541 is provided with an external thread that can engage with the internal thread. The diameter of the horizontal part 541 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 531 and smaller than the end face diameter of the limiting shaft 53. The vertical part 542 is located inside the mounting hole 531, and its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 531. An adjusting hole 5421 arranged along its axial direction is provided on the vertical part 542. The horizontal portion 541 and the vertical portion 542 of the adjusting shaft 54 ​​are divided by a T-shape, not by the horizontal and vertical division of the arrangement direction of the adjusting shaft 54 ​​in the accompanying drawings.

[0040] In this embodiment, a slot 511 is provided on the other end face of the fixed cover plate 51 and extends into it, and a protrusion 532 is provided on the shaft wall of the limiting shaft 53 that can engage with the slot 511.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the adjusting hole 5421 may be provided with a thread for driving the adjusting shaft 54 ​​to rotate.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the elastic element 60 is disposed in the cavity 11. One end of the elastic element 60 abuts against the limiting part 2411 of the connecting button 24, and the other end is fixed on the horizontal part 541 of the adjusting shaft 54. The length of the elastic element 60 is greater than the distance between the other end face of the limiting part 2411 and the end face of one end of the horizontal part 541.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic element 60 is preferably a spring.

[0044] When the engine vibration test is not performed using this utility model, because the length of the elastic member 60 is greater than the distance between the other end face of the limiting part 2411 and the end face of the transverse section 212, that is, the elastic member 60 is in a compressed state in the cavity 11, the elastic member 60 can make the connecting button 24 abut against the mounting buckle 21 through the limiting part 2411 on it. Meanwhile, because the cavity wall of the cavity 11 is provided with internal threads, and the other end of the elastic element 60 is provided with an adjusting shaft 54, the horizontal part 541 of the adjusting shaft 54 ​​is provided with external threads that can mesh with the internal threads, and the adjusting shaft 54 ​​is provided with an adjusting hole 5421 with threads on the hole wall, the adjusting shaft 54 ​​can be rotated by using a tool, thereby moving the adjusting shaft 54 ​​towards one end of the protective shell 10 in the cavity 11 through the meshing internal and external threads, and further squeezing the elastic element 60 to make it contract. Therefore, when conducting engine vibration tests, the pressure strength between the sensing probe 40 and the engine can be adjusted, and the sensing probe 40 can be ensured to fit tightly against the engine surface to avoid loosening.

[0045] Before using this invention to conduct engine vibration testing, the degree of contraction of the elastic element 60 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting shaft 54. Then, the movable bracket allows the invention to press against the engine, meaning the sensor probe 40 presses against the engine. At this point, the movement distance of the invention can be adjusted to ensure the sensor probe 40 is tightly fitted to the engine surface, preventing loosening and ensuring the accuracy of the vibration test results. Next, as the sensor probe 40 moves into the cavity 11 under pressure, it drives the connecting button 24 to move to the other end of the protective shell 10. This causes the limiting part 2411 on the connecting button 24 to disengage from the other end face of the mounting clip 21, allowing the vibration sensor 30 to be relatively independently located inside the cavity 11. Finally, the engine vibration test can be performed. Because the vibration sensor 30 is relatively independent within the cavity 11, the influence of other parts on the engine vibration test is reduced. Therefore, using this invention provides anti-aliasing filtering, preventing high-frequency noise from interfering with low-frequency signals, further ensuring the accuracy of the engine vibration test results.

[0046] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0047] According to the structural vibration measuring device involved in this utility model, when the engine vibration test is performed, after the sensing probe comes into contact with the engine, it will cause the connecting button to squeeze the elastic element, causing the elastic element to contract under pressure in the cavity. As a result, the connecting button will disengage from the mounting clip, and the vibration sensor mounted on the connecting button can be located relatively independently in the cavity. Therefore, the problem that the vibration sensor will affect the engine vibration test results when it comes into contact with other mounting parts is solved.

[0048] In summary, when using this invention for vibration testing, the vibration sensor can be relatively independent of the engine, which facilitates the acquisition of vibration signals and thus ensures the accuracy of the vibration test results.

[0049] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
