Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microphone testing technology, specifically a rapid testing device for directional microphones. Background Technology
[0002] In today's world of ubiquitous electronic devices, unidirectional microphones, as a crucial audio input device, are widely used in various electronic products, such as professional recording equipment, conferencing systems, live streaming equipment, and smartphones. Their unique directional characteristics effectively focus sound from a specific direction while reducing noise interference from other directions, thus providing users with high-quality sound capture. However, with the rapid increase in market demand for unidirectional microphones, microphone manufacturers are facing enormous production capacity pressure. In the traditional unidirectional microphone production process, there are many problems that urgently need to be addressed in the microphone performance testing stage.
[0003] In traditional testing methods, microphones are mostly sampled, not tested on every single item. However, current customer requirements are increasing, demanding a 100% pass rate for every product, necessitating testing of each and every item. Traditional sampling methods are inefficient and cannot meet the needs of rapid batch testing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide rapid testing equipment for directional microphones to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 The directional microphone rapid testing device provided in this embodiment includes a mounting base 3 and a test tube 2 disposed on the mounting base 3. A sound source module 1 is disposed at one end of the test tube 2, and a detection port 6 is disposed in the middle of the side of the test tube 2. An actuator is disposed on each side of the detection port 6. The two actuators are mounted on the mounting base 3 and disposed opposite to each other. One actuator includes a rotating column 5 and a rotating arm 4. The rotating column 5 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 3, and the rotating arm 4 is rotatably mounted on the rotating column 5. The rotating arm 4 is provided with a multi-functional clamping component for clamping the microphone and driving the microphone to rotate.
[0027] The test tube 2 has a test positioning plate 7 at the test port 6 position. The test positioning plate 7 has a circular hole corresponding to the test port 6. The test positioning plate 7 and / or the rotating arm 4 are provided with magnets for adsorbing the rotating arm 4.
[0028] The mounting base 3 is provided with a limiting detection post 11 for restricting the opening position of the rotating arm 4, and the rotating arm 4 and / or the limiting detection post 11 are provided with magnets for attracting the limiting detection post 11 and / or the rotating arm 4.
[0029] The limit detection column 11 is also provided with a rotating arm position sensing switch 14, and the rotating arm 4 is provided with a rotating arm position sensing block 15 that cooperates with the rotating arm position sensing switch 14. When the rotating arm 4 and the limit detection column 11 are attracted by a magnet, the rotating arm position sensing block 15 triggers the rotating arm position sensing switch 14.
[0030] The multi-functional clamping assembly includes a rotary pointing motor 9, a rotary clamp shaft 12, and a clamp 13. The rotary pointing motor 9 is a stepper motor, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating arm 4. The output shaft of the rotary pointing motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotary clamp shaft 12. The end of the rotary clamp shaft 12 away from the rotary pointing motor 9 is connected to the clamp 13. The clamp 13 is used to fix the microphone. When the rotating arm 4 rotates to the detection port 6 position, the clamp 13 and the microphone it holds are inserted into the test tube 2. The rotary pointing motor 9, being a stepper motor, drives the rotary clamp shaft 12 and the clamp 13 to rotate, so that the microphone to be tested is at different angles inside the test tube for sound pickup detection.
[0031] The clamp 13 includes a clamping base 131 and a flexible electrical connection arm 132. The clamping base 131 has a gap that allows sound to pass through. The flexible electrical connection arm 132 has a flexible contact piece, which is electrically connected to the microphone and elastically fixes the microphone to the clamping base 131. The flexible contact piece is not shown in the attached drawings. In this embodiment, the clamping base 131 is a C-shaped base with a notch to accommodate the microphone body. The notch ensures that sound propagation is not obstructed, allowing the microphone's receiving hole to be fully exposed. The flexible electrical connection arm 132 is electrically connected to the microphone through the flexible contact piece and elastically fixes the microphone to the clamping base 131.
[0032] A rotary sensing switch 16 is provided on the limit detection column 11. A rotary detection block 17 that cooperates with the rotary sensing switch 16 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the rotary pointing motor 9. When the rotary pointing motor 9 rotates the clamp 13 to the initial position, the rotary detection block 17 triggers the rotary sensing switch 16.
[0033] A handle 8 is provided on the rotating arm 4. The handle 8 is convenient for the inspection personnel to hold and quickly rotate the rotating arm.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the sound source module 1 is a loudspeaker, and the sound is constrained by the test tube 2, transmitted from one end to the other, which can be regarded as a directional sound source. The microphone is placed in the middle of the test tube 2 through the detection port 6, and the pickup direction is towards the sound source direction to detect the directional sensitivity. Then, it is rotated 180° away from the sound source direction and detected again, which is the reverse pickup sensitivity. Thus, the performance data of the directional microphone can be obtained. The device for installing the microphone is designed with two rotating arms 4, each with a clamp 13 as a clamping fixture, which clamps the microphone and transmits the detection data. The rotating arms 4 rotate to allow the microphone to enter the detection port 6. The magnet on the upper part is attached to the detection positioning plate 7 to ensure accurate positioning and no movement. The stepper motor on the rotating arm 4 stops at two angle positions, 0° and 180°, according to preset instructions to detect the microphone signal. After the detection is completed, the rotating arm 4 is rotated to drive another rotating arm 4 with a microphone installed to rotate for detection. The speed at which the worker installs the microphone to be tested and removes the tested microphone is basically matched with the detection speed, which can realize rapid detection. Compared with the existing technology, this utility model avoids the problem of low detection efficiency and inability to meet the needs of rapid batch detection in the traditional sampling mode by setting the execution mechanism and the drive mechanism together.
[0035] In summary, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] The sound source module 1 is a speaker. The sound is constrained by the test tube 2 and conducted from one end to the other, which can be regarded as a directional sound source. The microphone is placed in the middle of the long tube through the detection port 6. The pickup direction is towards the sound source and the directional sensitivity is measured. Then, it is rotated 180° away from the sound source and measured again, which is the reverse pickup sensitivity. The performance data of the directional microphone can be obtained. The device for installing the microphone is designed with two rotating arms 4, each with a clamp 13 as a clamping fixture to hold the microphone and measure the data. The rotating arm 4 rotates to put the microphone into the detection port 6. The magnet on the rotating arm 4 is attracted to the detection positioning plate 7 to ensure accurate positioning and no movement. The stepper motor on the rotating arm 4 stops at two angle positions of 0° and 180° according to the preset instructions to detect the microphone signal. After the test is completed, the rotating arm 4 is rotated to drive the other rotating arm 4 with the microphone installed to rotate for testing. The speed at which the worker installs the microphone to be tested and removes the microphone that has been tested is basically matched with the testing speed, which can achieve rapid testing.
