Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acoustic testing equipment technology, and in particular to a rotating hemispherical microphone stand. Background Technology
[0002] When acoustic testing requires the use of the "GBT 6882-2016 Acoustic Pressure Method for Determining the Sound Power Level and Sound Energy Level of a Noise Source: Precision Method for Anechoic Chambers and Semi-Anechoic Chambers", a hemispherical microphone stand needs to be built. Traditionally, for hemispherical stands with a small radius, a multi-lobed arc structure can be directly used. However, when the radius of the required microphone stand increases, especially when it is ≥3m, the operation becomes more complicated when the tester uses a multi-lobed arc structure. At the same time, the large radius of the stand also affects passage.
[0003] Patent CN202311473205.7 discloses a sound power testing device, comprising: a hemispherical support and a ball-head rod. The hemispherical support includes a base frame and several longitudinal rods, which are arc-shaped and arranged radially in an umbrella shape. The upper ends of the longitudinal rods are connected to each other, and the lower ends of the longitudinal rods are connected to the base frame. Multiple microphones are adjustablely mounted on each longitudinal rod. One end of the ball-head rod is connected to a ball joint located at the center of the hemispherical support, allowing the other end of the ball-head rod to swing freely within the hemispherical support until it aligns with the microphones. This allows for rapid adjustment of the distance and direction of each microphone from the center of the hemispherical support, ensuring that all microphones point towards the center. The distance between the microphone and the center can be determined as needed. However, this solution has a complex structure, low assembly efficiency, and the calibration accuracy relies on manual operation, resulting in limitations in the adjustment process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a rotating hemispherical microphone stand. By driving the hemispherical truss support with a motor to move in a circular motion along a circular guide rail, the workload of testers operating a microphone stand with a large radius can be greatly reduced.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] This invention relates to a testing device for microphone stands with large radii. It employs a motor-driven truss-type stand that moves in a circular motion along a circular guide rail, equivalent to a multi-lobed arc structure stand, significantly reducing the operational complexity for testing personnel. Simultaneously, the circular guide rail is designed to open, minimizing the impact of the large-radius stand on passage.
[0007] This utility model provides a rotating hemispherical microphone stand, including a segmented circular guide rail, a semi-circular truss, and two bases;
[0008] The circular guide rail is equipped with a hinge at the assembly position to enable opening; the semi-circular truss is equipped with multiple microphone mounting clamps; two bases are respectively located at the bottom ends of the semi-circular truss and can rotate along the circular guide rail; each base is equipped with a motor drive assembly, a driven wheel assembly, a guide assembly, an anti-tipping assembly, a locking assembly, and a cable management panel.
[0009] Furthermore, the circular guide rail has a U-shaped cross-section with a crossbeam on the outside, and each section of the circular guide rail is fixedly installed by a support.
[0010] Furthermore, the semi-circular truss has a triangular cross-section. The semi-circular truss is formed by combining round tubes or other profiles.
[0011] Furthermore, the motor drive assembly includes: a motor, gears, and a drive wheel; the motor provides driving force, which drives the drive wheel to rotate through gear meshing or chain transmission. Furthermore, the driven wheel assembly is a freely steerable omnidirectional wheel structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes a guide wheel that moves along the inner side of the circular guide rail, and a disc spring is mounted on the fixing screw of the guide assembly. This can accommodate unevenness in the circular guide rail caused by machining and installation errors.
[0013] Furthermore, the anti-tipping component includes a guide wheel that moves below the outer crossbeam of the circular guide rail.
[0014] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes an adjustable locking handle or threaded structure for fixing and locking the base to the circular guide rail.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the openable section of the circular guide rail is equipped with rollers.
[0016] Furthermore, the cable management panel is equipped with a cable harness fixing clip. The cable management panel can gather all the microphone connection cables and lock the microphone connection cables in place through the cable harness fixing clip, preventing the cables from being pulled off during the circular motion of the bracket.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0018] (1) Adapting to large-radius testing requirements: The use of segmented circular guide rails and motor-driven semi-circular trusses simplifies the operation process of large-radius acoustic testing and reduces the complexity of manual operation. The circular guide rails achieve segmented opening through hinges. When closed, they form a complete test structure, and when open, they reduce the occupation of passage space, solving the problem of large-radius supports hindering site use.
[0019] (2) Precise control: The motor drive assembly, together with the driven universal wheels, enables the truss to rotate automatically along the guide rail, avoiding manual adjustment errors and improving calibration efficiency and test accuracy.
[0020] (3) The design of the U-shaped guide rail section and the universal wheel driven components is adapted to different site conditions, and it is convenient to expand or adjust the size of the bracket according to the test requirements. Attached Figure Description
