The first force and the second force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The second force and the spring force are opposite in direction. When the second force is greater than the spring force, the first slide block and the second slide block move closer together. When the second force is less than the spring force, the first slide block and the second slide block move further apart.

[0009] Preferably, the first force is generated by a linear module, which is disposed between the first slide and the cavity wall forming the cavity, and the linear module is connected to the first slide to generate a first force that pushes the slide.

[0010] Preferably, the second force is generated by a guide wheel assembly, which includes a guide wheel and a belt.

[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a fixture suitable for testing cross-flow fans, including a base 100 and a first rotating mechanism 200. A first movable plate 110 and a second movable plate 120 are arranged above the base 100. Both the first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120 are located along the length of the base 100. The first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120 can move closer to or further away from each other. A connecting structure 130 is provided on the facing side of the first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120. The connecting structure 130 allows for quick and detachable installation and removal of the cross-flow fan A. The aforementioned first rotating mechanism 200 is disposed on the first moving plate 110, and the first rotating mechanism 200 is connected to the connecting structure 130 located on the first moving plate 110. The first rotating mechanism 200 drives the connecting structure 130 on the first moving plate 110 to rotate, that is, the connecting structure 130 on the first moving plate 110 is the active structure. Since the two ends of the cross-flow fan A are respectively connected to the connecting structure 130, the connecting structure 130 located on the second moving plate 120 can be driven to rotate, that is, the connecting structure 130 on the second moving plate 120 is the driven structure.

[0031] The aforementioned base 100 has a cavity arranged along the length of the base 100, and a groove 140 communicating with the cavity is provided on the upper surface of the base 100. The length direction of the groove 140 is consistent with the length direction of the cavity. In this application, the cavity is cuboid and the groove 140 is an oblong groove.

[0032] A motion mechanism 300 is provided within the cavity to move the first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120 closer to or further away from each other. This motion mechanism 300 includes a guide rod 310, which is disposed within the cavity and aligned with its length. For ease of description, the direction of the first movable plate 110 is defined as its front end, and the direction of the second movable plate 120 is defined as its rear end. The two ends of the guide rod 310 are fixed to the front and rear ends of the cavity, respectively. A first slide block 320 and a second slide block 330 are mounted on the guide rod 310, allowing them to move along the guide rod 310. The upper end of the first slide block 320 protrudes through a groove 140 and connects to the first movable plate 110, while the second slide block 330 protrudes through the groove 140 and connects to the second movable plate 120.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5The first slide block 320 and the second slide block 330 are subjected to different forces on the guide rod 310, thereby enabling the first slide block 320 and the second slide block 330 to move closer or further apart. Specifically, the first slide block 320 is subjected to a first force, under which it can slide on the guide rod 310. The second slide block 330 is subjected to a second force and a spring force, wherein the first force and the second force are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction; the second force and the spring force are opposite in direction.

[0034] When the second force is greater than the elastic force, the first slide 320 and the second slide 330 move closer together; when the second force is less than the elastic force, the first slide 320 and the second slide 330 move further apart.

[0035] The first force is generated by the linear module, which is set on the first slide block 320 and the cavity wall forming the cavity. That is, one end of the linear module is fixedly set at the front end of the cavity, and the other end of the linear module is connected to the first slide block 320. The first linear module generates the first force, thereby pushing the first slide block 320 to move towards the second slide block 330 or away from the second slide block 330.

[0036] The second force is generated by the guide wheel assembly, which includes a guide wheel 340 and a belt 350. The guide wheel 340 is located at the end of the first slide block 320 away from the second slide block 330, that is, the guide wheel 340 is located at the front end of the first slide block 320. Preferably, the guide wheel 340 is lower than the first slide block 320. One end of the belt 350 is fixed to the side of the first slide block 320 away from the second slide block 330, that is, one end of the belt 350 is fixed to the front end of the first slide block 320. The other end passes around the guide wheel 340 and connects to the side of the second slide block 330 facing the first slide block 320, that is, the other end of the belt 350 is fixed to the front end of the second slide block 330.

[0037] The aforementioned elastic force is generated by the elastic element 360, which is disposed between the second slide 330 and the cavity wall forming the cavity and connected to the second slide 330. Preferably, the elastic element 360 is a spring. The elastic element 360 is in a stretched state when the first slide 320 and the second slide 330 are at their maximum interval stroke.

[0038] When installing the cross-flow fan A, the linear module operates, generating a first force. Driven by this force, the first slide 320 moves backward. As the first slide 320 moves backward, the second slide 330 moves forward under the pull of the belt 350, causing the first and second slides 320 to move closer together. Under the action of the second slide 330, the elastic element 360 is stretched beyond the length of the first and second slides 320 when they are at their maximum interval. When the linear module stops moving, because it typically has a self-locking function, the relative positions of the first and second slides 320 remain unchanged. During the period when the first slide 320 and the second slide 330 are close to each other, the cross-flow fan A is suspended between the first moving plate 110 and the second moving plate 120. When the distance between the first moving plate 110 and the second moving plate 120 is close to the length of the cross-flow fan A, the shaft A0 of the cross-flow fan is connected by the connecting structure 130 to realize the installation of the cross-flow fan A.

[0039] When the cross-flow fan A is removed after the inspection, the connecting structure 130 is first disassembled from the shaft A0 of the cross-flow fan. Then, the linear module is driven to generate a first force. At this time, the first force is opposite in direction to the force when the cross-flow fan A was installed. That is, the first force pulls the first slide 320 to the front end. During the forward sliding of the first slide 320, the second force generated by the belt 350 on the second slide 330 decreases. The elastic element 360 has a tendency to return to its original shape and generates a backward elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the second force, the second slide 330 moves to the rear end, thereby separating the first slide 320 and the second slide 330. The operator catches the cross-flow fan A, which has detached from the first moving plate 110 and the second moving plate 120.

[0040] This application also provides a specific linear module, which includes a lead screw 370 and a second rotating mechanism 380. The second rotating mechanism 380 is disposed on the cavity wall forming the cavity, that is, the second rotating mechanism 380 is fixed to the front end of the first slide block 320. The rear end of the lead screw 370 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the cavity. The front end of the lead screw 370 passes through the second slide block 330 and the first slide block 320 in sequence and is connected to the second rotating mechanism 380 for transmission.

[0041] Furthermore, the lead screw 370 has a threaded section and a smooth shaft section, wherein the smooth shaft section is located at the rear of the lead screw 370 and the threaded section is located at the front of the lead screw 370. The first slide 320 is screwed to the threaded section and the second slide 330 is slidably connected to the smooth shaft section. When the second rotating mechanism 380 is working, the lead screw 370 rotates, and the first slide 320 located on the threaded section moves linearly, thereby driving the second slide 330 located on the smooth shaft section to move accordingly.

[0042] Preferably, the lengths of both the optical axis section and the threaded section are half the length of the lead screw 370.

[0043] Preferably, both the first rotating mechanism 200 and the second rotating mechanism 380 are electric motors.

[0044] Preferably, the rear end of the lead screw 370 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall via a bearing.

[0045] Preferably, there are two grooves 140 and two guide rods 310, with the two guide rods 310 located directly below the two grooves 140 respectively, and the two grooves 140 are arranged in parallel.

[0046] Preferably, the aforementioned connecting structure 130 includes a connecting shaft 131, which passes through the first movable plate 110 or the second movable plate 120, and the connecting shaft 131 can rotate relative to the first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120. Preferably, a bearing is provided between the connecting shaft 131 and the first movable plate 110 and the second movable plate 120 to reduce friction when the connecting shaft 131 rotates. A sleeve 132 is also provided at one end of the two connecting shafts 131 that are close to each other. The sleeve 132 is also provided at the end away from the connecting shaft 131, and the limiting hole 133 is arranged along the radial direction of the sleeve 132. A limiting bolt 134 is screwed into the limiting hole 133. The aforementioned first rotating mechanism 200 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 131 located on the first positioning plate that does not have the sleeve 132.

[0047] When connecting the shaft A0 of the cross-flow fan, the sleeve 132 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft A0 of the cross-flow fan. By tightening the limiting bolt 134 in the limiting hole 133, the limiting bolt 134 moves towards the center of the sleeve 132 to radially press against the shaft A0 of the cross-flow fan to achieve its fixation.

[0048] A mounting plate 390 is also provided on the first movable plate 110. The mounting plate 390 is vertically arranged on the first movable plate 110 and is located at the rear end of the first movable plate 110. The first rotating mechanism 200 is installed on the first movable plate 110.

[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
