Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of performance testing technology, and in particular to a cross-flow fan testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Cross-flow fans are mainly used for heat dissipation in electronic equipment, dry-type transformers, photocopiers, projectors, temperature and humidity control machinery, and heating and cooling room equipment. Due to their wide application and the high temperatures encountered during installation and use, maintenance is relatively complex. To ensure safety, cross-flow fans, compared to traditional fans, must also possess multiple functions such as over-temperature protection, light and heavy load protection, and speed regulation. This necessitates that, at the factory, cross-flow fans not only meet basic performance requirements but also undergo testing at different speeds for current, power, and output pulses to ensure that over-temperature protection, light and heavy load protection, and speed regulation functions meet requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to design a comprehensive testing device. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cross-flow fan testing device that can comprehensively test multiple performance aspects of the cross-flow fan and improve testing efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cross-flow fan testing device, comprising...
[0005] The test chassis is equipped with a power interface and a product interface. The power interface is used to connect an external power supply, and the product interface is used to connect a product.
[0006] The test assembly, mounted on the test chassis, includes a test power supply, an oscilloscope, a single-phase multifunction meter, and a signal generator; wherein the test power supply is connected to the power interface; the oscilloscope, single-phase multifunction meter, and signal generator are connected in parallel, and the two ends of the oscilloscope, single-phase multifunction meter, and signal generator are respectively connected in series with the test power supply and the product interface to form a test circuit.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model's cross-flow fan testing equipment are as follows:
[0008] In use, connect the power interface to an external power supply and connect the cross-flow fan to be tested to the product interface to start the test assembly for simultaneous testing of multiple performance characteristics of the cross-flow fan. The test assembly integrates an oscilloscope, a single-phase multimeter, and a signal generator in the test chassis. These components are connected via wiring to simultaneously test multiple performance characteristics of the cross-flow fan, avoiding the problems of long testing times and high labor intensity caused by separate wiring tests for each instrument, thus effectively improving testing efficiency. Specifically, the signal generator is used to adjust the speed of the cross-flow fan, the single-phase multimeter is used to detect the current and power of the cross-flow fan at different speeds, and the oscilloscope is used to detect the output voltage and pulse frequency of the cross-flow fan. Connecting the test power supply to the external power supply provides power to the oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator respectively, ensuring their normal operation.
[0009] Furthermore, the signal generator includes electrically connected PWM duty cycle transmitters and a rotary switch; multiple PWM duty cycle transmitters are provided, and the rotary switch has start positions corresponding to each of the multiple duty cycle transmitters. The coordination between the multiple PWM duty cycle transmitters and the multiple start positions of the rotary switch achieves the speed regulation requirement of the cross-flow fan, facilitating the testing of the cross-flow fan's performance at different speeds using a unidirectional multifunction meter and oscilloscope.
[0010] Furthermore, the 5Hz duty cycles of the multiple PWM duty cycle transmitters are 5%, 30%, 55%, and 65%, respectively. Typically, the frequency range of the PWM duty cycle transmitters is 1Hz to 150Hz, with an accuracy of 1%; the duty cycle range is 0 to 100%. By limiting the duty cycles of the multiple PWM duty cycle transmitters, the rotational speed of the cross-flow fan, adjusted by the signal generator, can reach the required test speed.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a speedometer, which is connected in parallel to the test circuit containing the single-phase multifunction meter and the test power supply. The real-time rotational speed of the cross-flow fan can be obtained through the settings of the speedometer.
[0012] Furthermore, the test chassis is equipped with a power switch for controlling the power interface channel to turn the test equipment on and off.
[0013] Furthermore, the power switch is connected in series between the power interface and the test power supply, and the test power supply is equipped with electrode connection terminals corresponding one-to-one with the oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator, so as to provide independent power to the oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator.
[0014] Furthermore, the test chassis includes upper and lower test covers and mounting bases, which define a receiving cavity. The test covers have mounting slots corresponding to the oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator, and these slots communicate with the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity houses the test power supply, oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator, ensuring the neatness of the test equipment. The mounting slots expose the display surfaces of the oscilloscope, single-phase multimeter, and signal generator on the test chassis for easy monitoring of the test results.
[0015] Furthermore, the accommodating cavity is provided with a mounting plate fixed to the mounting base, and the test power supply is mounted on the mounting plate, with a gap between the mounting plate and the mounting base. The mounting plate is designed to elevate the test power supply to meet heat dissipation requirements.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting liner is provided with a positioning groove, and the mounting base is provided with a positioning post corresponding to the positioning groove.
[0017] Furthermore, the power interface and product interface are located on the test cover plate, and each of the power interface and product interface is connected to a conduit. Attached Figure Description
