This technology collects parameters such as airflow pressure, velocity, and direction through the porous structure of the probe surface, providing key data for the aerodynamic performance analysis of models such as aircraft and automobiles. Its advantage lies in simulating real airflow environments under complex working conditions, helping engineers optimize designs, reduce wind resistance, and improve fuel efficiency and stability. In the automotive industry, probe testing has become a core means of evaluating the aerodynamic performance of vehicle bodies.

The single structure limits efficiency and adaptability, making it difficult to meet the requirements of multiple scenarios and high precision. To address this, a wind tunnel probe testing coordinate frame device is proposed. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a wind tunnel probe test coordinate frame device, including two fixed plates 1. The fixed plates 1 are provided with a coordinate displacement component 2 for flexibly changing the coordinate position of the wind tunnel probe. The coordinate displacement component 2 is provided with a rotation component 3 for rotating the wind tunnel probe so that the wind tunnel probe can adapt to the measurement requirements of non-direct wind direction.
[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the coordinate displacement assembly 2 includes two first sliding adjustment blocks 201 fixedly installed on opposite sides of two fixed plates 1. A first screw 202 is rotatably connected inside the first sliding adjustment block 201. A second sliding adjustment block 203 is threadedly connected to the circumference of the two first screws 202. The second sliding adjustment block 203 is slidably connected inside the first sliding adjustment block 201 and is adjusted for extension and retraction by the first screws 202, making the device suitable for wind tunnels of different sizes. A second screw 204 is rotatably connected inside the second sliding adjustment block 203. A probe adjustment block 205 is threadedly connected to the circumference of the second screw 204. The probe adjustment block 205 is slidably connected inside the second sliding adjustment block 203 and is displaced by the second screw 204, thereby displacing the wind tunnel probe and increasing its detection range. A probe clamp 206 is provided on one side of the probe adjustment block 205. A fastening threaded post 207 is threadedly connected to the probe clamp 206. A fixing clamp plate 208 is threadedly connected to the circumference of the fastening threaded post 207. Tightening the fastening threaded post 207... 07 allows the probe clamp 206 to work with the fixing plate 208 to fix the wind tunnel probe placed in the middle. The top of the probe clamp 206 is welded with four sliding posts 209, which are used to enhance the stability when the probe clamp 206 and the fixing plate 208 are clamped. In use, the wind tunnel probe is fixed between the probe clamp 206 and the fixing plate 208. The shape and specifications of the fixing plate 1 are not fixed to match wind tunnels of different shapes. The two fixing plates 1 can be extended and retracted by the first screw 202 to adapt to wind tunnels of different sizes. The position of the probe adjusting block 205 is adjusted by rotating the second screw 204, so that the probe adjusting block 205 slides inside the second sliding adjusting block 203, thereby expanding the detectable range of the wind tunnel probe. By installing the fixing plate 1 at different angles on the inner wall of the wind tunnel, and combining it with the second sliding adjusting block 203 to dynamically adjust the probe in three-dimensional space, the probe can be flexibly positioned to any position in the wind tunnel, realizing accurate measurement in multiple angles and multiple areas, ensuring data integrity and spatial resolution, and providing reliable basis for the experiment.
[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the rotating assembly 3 includes two fixed blocks 301 welded to both sides of the probe adjusting block 205. The probe clamp 206 is hinged to one side of the two fixed blocks 301. A clamping threaded post 302 is threadedly connected to the fixed block 301. A clamping block 303 is rotatably connected to the side of the clamping threaded post 302 near the probe clamp 206. The clamping threaded post 302 and the clamping block 303 adopt a composite design of "rotational connection + snap-fit". The clamping threaded post 302 can rotate freely, while the clamping block 303 restricts its rotational freedom through the snap-fit structure, allowing rotation only along the clamping threaded post. The axial horizontal movement of the 302 ensures that the clamping block 303 only makes linear displacement when the clamping threaded column 302 is tightened, avoiding rotational offset and achieving precise positioning and stable clamping. In use, the angle of the probe clamp 206 can be adjusted through the hinge design, thereby changing the angle of the wind tunnel probe. By adjusting the probe pointing in real time, dynamic characteristics such as deflection, separation and vortex trajectory of airflow after passing through the model can be efficiently captured. By adjusting the clamping threaded column 302, the clamping block 303 can clamp and limit the probe clamp 206 to prevent displacement that would lead to inaccurate data.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a U-shaped mounting plate 4 is snapped onto the top of the second sliding adjustment block 203. A temperature sensor 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped mounting plate 4, a humidity sensor 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped mounting plate 4 near the temperature sensor 5, a pressure sensor 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped mounting plate 4 near the temperature sensor 5, and a display screen 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped mounting plate 4 near the temperature sensor 5. During use, the temperature, humidity, and pressure parameters inside the wind tunnel are monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 5, humidity sensor 6, and pressure sensor 7, and the data is displayed on the display screen 8. Based on the data, the staff can take compensation measures. By monitoring the environmental parameters, the interference of environmental factors on the measurement results can be understood, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. After the monitoring is completed, the snapped U-shaped mounting plate 4 can be removed to prevent damage to the temperature sensor 5, humidity sensor 6, and pressure sensor 7 during the test.
[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, elastic buffer pads 9 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the probe clamp 206 and the fixed clamping plate 208. The opposite sides of the two elastic buffer pads 9 are provided with four wedge-shaped grooves 10 in a linear array. In use, the elastic buffer pads 9 can prevent the wind tunnel probe from being damaged by excessive clamping force when clamping it. The wedge-shaped grooves 10 can limit the position of the wind tunnel probe to a certain extent to ensure the accuracy of the test.
[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a first scale 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the first sliding adjustment block 201, a second scale 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the second sliding adjustment block 203, and an angle scale 13 is fixedly installed on the fixed block 301. In use, the first scale 11 and the second scale 12 can be used to easily understand the position of the probe, and the angle scale 13 can be used to help the staff understand the angle of the wind tunnel probe, making it easier for the staff to change its position and perform other operations.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the top of the second sliding adjustment block 203 has a plurality of first positioning holes 14 arranged in a linear array. The intervals of the first positioning holes 14 are integers. The first positioning holes 14 pass through the probe adjustment block 205. In use, the second sliding adjustment block 203 and the probe adjustment block 205 are fixed by means of parts such as positioning threaded posts through the first positioning holes 14. The first positioning holes 14, which are evenly spaced and distributed in integers, provide a standardized scale for probe adjustment, which makes it easy to quickly determine the adjustment interval. At the same time, the first positioning holes 14 with integer intervals are convenient for recording experimental parameters and reducing human error.
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the second sliding adjustment block 203 has several windward blocks 15 inside. The top of the second sliding adjustment block 203 has several threaded holes 16 arranged in a linear array. The threaded holes 16 pass through the windward blocks 15. In use, the windward blocks 15 and the second sliding adjustment block 203 are fixed by using parts such as positioning threaded columns through the threaded holes 16. The surface of the windward block 15 facing the wind direction is inclined, which can reduce wind resistance, reduce the stress on the device, and extend the life of the device.
[0036] Specifically, in use, this wind tunnel probe test coordinate frame device involves fixing the wind tunnel probe between the probe clamp 206 and the fixing plate 208. The shape and specifications of the fixing plate 1 are not fixed to match wind tunnels of different shapes. The first screw 202 can extend and retract the two fixing plates 1 to accommodate wind tunnels of different sizes. The second screw 204 rotates to adjust the position of the probe adjusting block 205, causing it to slide within the second sliding adjusting block 203, thereby expanding the detectable range of the wind tunnel probe. By installing the fixing plate 1 at different angles on the inner wall of the wind tunnel, combined with the second sliding adjusting block 203 to dynamically adjust the probe in three-dimensional space, the probe can be flexibly positioned at any location in the wind tunnel, achieving accurate measurements from multiple angles and in multiple areas, ensuring data integrity and spatial resolution, and providing reliable evidence for experiments (e.g., ...). Figure 3As shown), the hinged design allows for angle adjustment of the probe clamp 206, thereby changing the angle of the wind tunnel probe. By adjusting the probe's direction in real time, dynamic characteristics such as deflection, separation, and vortex trajectory of airflow after passing through the model can be efficiently captured. Adjusting the clamping threaded post 302 allows the clamping block 303 to clamp and limit the probe clamp 206, preventing displacement that could lead to inaccurate data (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, temperature sensor 5, humidity sensor 6, and air pressure sensor 7 monitor environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure inside the wind tunnel in real time, and display the data on the display screen 8. Based on the data, staff can implement compensatory measures. By monitoring environmental parameters, the interference of environmental factors on the measurement results can be understood, improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurements (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown).
[0037] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0038] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
