Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment testing technology, and in particular to a probe mounting device for echo simulation. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional ultrasonic-assisted parking systems employ sensors that emit ultrasonic waves and receivers that receive the echoes. The sensors emit ultrasonic waves, which can be reflected back by obstacles in their propagation path and received by the receiver. This allows the system to confirm the presence of objects and measure their distance. If the distance is not within a safe range, the system warns the driver to avoid a collision. In related technologies, testing of ultrasonic sensor controllers typically involves real-world testing in actual vehicles, which is difficult to guarantee in terms of safety and is inefficient, leaving room for improvement.

[0026] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 Description of an echo simulation probe mounting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 10 and at least one probe mounting member 20. Each probe mounting member 20 is disposed on the base 10 and includes a sliding member 24, a first mounting seat 21, a second mounting seat 22, and a first side plate 23. The probe is mounted between the first mounting seat 21 and the second mounting seat 22. The sliding member 24 is disposed on the base 10 and includes a first sliding portion 241 and a second sliding portion 242. The first mounting seat 21 and the first side plate 23 are spaced apart at both ends of the first sliding portion 241, reserving space for probe mounting. The second mounting seat 22 is located between the first mounting seat 21 and the first side plate 23 and is disposed on the second sliding portion 242. The second sliding portion 242 slides with the first sliding portion 241, which can limit the movement direction of the second mounting seat 22, allowing the second mounting seat 22 to move between the first side plate 23 and the first mounting seat 21. At the same time, the distance between the first mounting seat 21 and the second mounting seat 22 can be adjusted, which is beneficial for probe mounting and fixing.

[0028] Each probe mounting component 20 also includes a first fastener 25, which is adapted to be positioned on the side of the second mounting base 22 facing the first side plate 23, for pressing the second mounting base 22, thereby fixing the position of the probe mounted between the first mounting base 21 and the second mounting base 22. Specifically, since the first side plate 23 is fixed, when the first fastener 25 is compressed, it can push the second mounting base 22, causing the second mounting base 22 and the first mounting base 21 to cooperate with each other to clamp the probe, improving the probe's fixing effect and thus improving the stability of the probe's operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the probes mounted on the first mounting base 21 and the second mounting base 22 are positioned with their respective ultrasonic emission / reception ends in contact. The preload applied by the first fastener 25 ensures that the contact surfaces of the two probes are tightly fitted without any extra space distance. This avoids the spatial distance between the probes affecting the calculation of the actual flight time of the ultrasonic waves during the test, which helps to improve the accuracy of the test.

[0030] According to the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 of this utility model embodiment, a first mounting seat 21 and a second mounting seat 22 for mounting the probe are provided on the base 10. The position of the second mounting seat 22 can be adjusted through the sliding engagement of the second mounting seat 22 and the sliding member 24, thereby achieving probe mounting and fixation. A first fastener 25 is provided on the non-mounting side of the second mounting seat 22, allowing the first fastener 25 to apply a pre-tightening force to the second mounting seat 22 after probe installation, which improves the probe fixing effect, thereby improving the stability of probe operation and the accuracy of testing. Furthermore, the controller can be tested simply by fixing the probe between the first mounting seat 21 and the second mounting seat 22, eliminating the need for a real vehicle or scene, thus improving testing safety. The probe can be mounted and dismounted by moving the second mounting seat 22, improving the testing efficiency of the controller.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the base 10 includes a base plate 11. A first sliding portion 241 can be directly disposed on the base plate 11. A first mounting seat 21 and a first side plate 23 are disposed on the base plate 11 at intervals, respectively located at both ends of the first sliding portion 241. A second mounting seat 22 can be mounted on the second sliding portion 242, and thus can slide along the first sliding portion 241 between the first mounting seat 21 and the first side plate 23 via the second sliding portion 242.

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, when the first sliding part 241 is directly mounted on the base plate 11, the base plate 11 has a first opening 111 at the position where the probe mounting part 20 is not installed. The design of the base plate 11 having multiple first openings 111 helps to reduce the overall weight of the device 100 and improves the portability of the device 100.

[0033] like Figures 3-5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding member 24 may include a base plate 243, a first sliding portion 241 disposed on the base plate 243, a first mounting seat 21 and a first side plate 23 disposed spaced apart on the base plate 243, and a second mounting seat 22 sliding between the first mounting seat 21 and the first side plate 23 via the second sliding portion 242 along the first sliding portion 241. In this case, the probe mounting member 20 can be mounted on the base plate 11 of the base 10 via the base plate 243. The base plate 11 has a first opening 111 at the position where the probe mounting member 20 is not installed, and a second opening 112 at the position where the probe mounting member 20 is installed. The first opening 111 and the second opening 112 help to further reduce the overall weight of the device 100. Furthermore, the probe mounting member 20 can be considered as an integrated design, allowing for complete assembly and disassembly, thus improving the assembly efficiency of the device 100.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the first sliding part 241 and the second sliding part 242 is a groove, and the other of the first sliding part 241 and the second sliding part 242 is a slider. The extending direction of the groove is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first side plate 23.

[0035] Specifically, the first sliding part 111 can be a slide groove, and the second sliding part 221 can be a slider; alternatively, the first sliding part 111 can be a slider, and the second sliding part 221 can be a slide groove. The slider is inserted into the slide groove, allowing the second mounting base 22 to slide between the first side plate 23 and the first mounting base 21 while remaining coaxial, ensuring the stability of the test. The shape of the slider matches the slide groove, which can limit the slider's movement, prevent it from disengaging from the slide groove, and make the slider's movement smoother, improving the sliding stability of the first mounting base 21.

[0036] In some examples, the slider can be trapezoidal, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the slider gradually decreasing as it is cut by the horizontal plane. The groove can be formed to match the trapezoidal shape of the slider, facilitating the sliding fit between the slider and the groove and improving the limiting effect on the slider. Alternatively, the slider can be inverted T-shaped, with the groove forming an inverted T-shaped groove, which can further improve the limiting effect on the slider.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the second mounting base 22 has a first positioning groove 221 on the side facing the first side plate 23, and the first side plate 23 has a mounting position for a first fastener 25. The mounting position includes a first positioning through hole 231 provided on the first side plate 23 and a flange coupling 232 embedded in the first positioning through hole 231. The first fastener 25 is adapted to penetrate the first positioning through hole 231 and the flange coupling 232 and engage with the first positioning groove 221.

[0038] In some examples, the first fastener 25 can be a screw or bolt, one end of which is inserted into the first positioning groove 121. The flange coupling 232 acts as a limit for the first fastener 25, keeping it coaxial and reducing the risk of it shaking or falling off. By applying external force to the first fastener 25, the first fastener 25 drives the second mounting base 22 to slide, thereby pressing the probe installed between the second mounting base 22 and the first mounting base 21.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the base 10 also includes two second side plates 12, which are disposed on opposite sides of the base plate 11. The extending direction of the second side plates 12 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first side plate 23, and each probe mounting member 20 is disposed between the two second side plates 12.

[0040] Furthermore, each second side plate 12 has at least one groove 122 on the side opposite to the base plate 11, and each groove 122 is configured with a first fixing part 121 of a matching shape. The groove 122 is used to accommodate the wire harness led out by the probe, and the first fixing part 121 is used to fix the wire harness led out by the probe in the groove 122. The wire harness led out by the probe is fixed in the groove 122 by the first fixing part 121, which can effectively avoid the inconvenience of using the device 100 due to the tangled wire harness.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 further includes: a terminal fixing rail 30, which is used to mount wiring terminals. The wiring terminals can be connected to the probe via connecting wires, that is, the connecting wires led out from the probe can be connected to the wiring terminals and then connected to an external circuit. The connecting wires are used to transmit signals, which is beneficial to the smooth progress of the test. The terminal fixing rail 30 has a first fixing hole (not shown in the figure), and the second side plate 12 may have a second fixing hole (not shown in the figure). The terminal fixing rail 30 can be fixed to the second side plate 12 by fasteners passing through the first fixing hole (not shown in the figure) and the second fixing hole (not shown in the figure), so that the terminal fixing rail 30 is located on the outside of the device 100. Figure 3 The outer side shown.

[0042] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in some examples, the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 further includes a gripping part 40, which can be disposed on the second side plate 12, specifically on the side of the second side plate 12 opposite to the base plate 11. The gripping part 40 can also be directly disposed on the base plate 11. The gripping part 40 can be held and operated by an operator, facilitating the movement and arrangement of the device.

[0043] In some examples, the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 further includes: legs 50, which are disposed on the side of the base 10 opposite to the probe mounting component 20, and are fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The number of legs 50 can be four, arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the base plate 11 to support the device. By adjusting the height of the legs 50, the center of gravity of the device can be adjusted to ensure its balance. Of course, the number of legs 50 can be multiple, for example, five, arranged at intervals around the outer periphery of the base plate 11, which improves the support effect and the accuracy of adjusting the center of gravity. Furthermore, the number of legs 50 can also be three, which reduces costs and facilitates assembly while providing stable support for the device.

[0044] In some examples, in some embodiments, one end of the support leg 50 can be inserted into a fixing hole (not shown in the figure) of the base plate 11, or the support leg 50 can be fixedly connected to the base plate 11 by a fastener passing through the fixing hole (not shown in the figure), thereby realizing the installation of the support leg 50.

[0045] Other configurations and operations of the echo simulation probe mounting device 100 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In the description of the present invention, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the aforementioned features. The up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-back direction are defined as shown in the figures.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features not in direct contact but through another feature between them. Moreover, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature include the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
