Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of anemometer calibration devices, and specifically relates to an upright clamping device for anemometer calibration in a wind tunnel. Background Technology
[0002] Anemometers, as key instruments for measuring air velocity, have wide applications in many fields. In the power industry, accurate wind speed measurement is crucial for the efficient operation and safety of wind farms, as wind speed data directly affects the prediction of power generation and the regulation of wind turbines. In the steel industry, anemometers can be used to monitor ventilation in factory buildings, ensuring suitable air quality and temperature in the production environment, protecting worker health and ensuring normal equipment operation. In the petrochemical industry, accurate wind speed measurement helps control gas flow and diffusion in chemical reaction processes, ensuring production safety and product quality. In the energy conservation field, monitoring wind speed inside and outside buildings can optimize ventilation system design, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. In agriculture, wind speed information is of great significance for regulating crop growth environment, controlling pests and diseases, and ensuring the rational operation of irrigation systems. The meteorological industry relies heavily on anemometers to provide basic data for weather forecasting and climate research.
[0003] To ensure the accuracy of wind speed data measured by anemometers, they need to be calibrated regularly, and wind tunnels are commonly used equipment for anemometer calibration. Currently, the operation of calibrating anemometers in wind tunnels presents the problem of inconvenient anemometer mounting. Chinese Patent Application No. 202322066410.3 discloses an anemometer calibration device that achieves simple sealing and fixing through mechanical clamping, improving installation efficiency and compatibility. However, its structural rigidity is insufficient and maintenance costs are high in high-speed wind tunnels. Chinese Patent Application No. 201721051950.2 discloses a horizontal anemometer bracket for collecting wind speed in wind tunnels and capable of vertical adjustment and multi-point observation. It can perform multi-point synchronous measurement, has high adjustment accuracy, and adapts to complex environments; however, its structure is complex, installation is time-consuming, and it significantly interferes with the flow field. Chinese Patent Application No. 202221140044.0 discloses an anemometer calibration device that adopts an integrated design of wind tunnel and mounting cylinder, achieving sealing through the elastic fit between the sealing cover and the probe. The device is equipped with multiple pressure sensors to monitor the airflow distribution within the wind tunnel in real time. However, wind tunnels and mounting cylinders are relatively large, requiring significant space at the testing site, and only support specific types of probes, necessitating customized adapters for compatibility with other specifications. Therefore, designing a simple, easy-to-install, adaptable, and precisely adjustable upright clamping device for various anemometer specifications is of significant practical importance.
