Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan testing technology, specifically to a fan speed measuring mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for vehicles are also increasing. Driving comfort has become a crucial evaluation indicator. Among these, the seat, as the most direct carrier, is particularly important due to its diverse functions. Currently, multi-functional seats are becoming increasingly common, and seat ventilation, as one of its features, is gaining popularity. Therefore, the reliability of seat ventilation fans is paramount. During the design process of automotive seat controllers, relevant tests must be conducted under specified operating conditions to ensure the module's reliability. The test items for different seat ventilation fans are generally similar, including environmental reliability testing, electrical performance testing, and mechanical performance testing. The key indicator for evaluating the quality of a seat ventilation fan is its rotational speed.
[0003] Patent CN220671465U discloses a fan speed measuring device, including: a heat sink, a mounting pipe, a measuring block, and a flow rate sensor. A fan body is located on one side of the heat sink, and one end of the heat sink is fixedly mounted on the fan body. The measuring block is fixedly mounted on one side wall of the mounting pipe, and the flow rate sensor is fixedly mounted on the other side wall of the mounting pipe. A baffle is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one end of the heat sink, and a top block and a threaded cap are elastically connected to one side wall of the mounting pipe. By installing the mounting pipe with the measuring block and flow rate sensor in the main heat sink pipeline of the cooling system, the flow rate through the motor pipeline can be calculated in real time by measuring the flow rate and a fixed throttling area. However, this device only achieves fan speed measurement in a fixed position and cannot easily and dynamically adjust the fan speed measurement for different models. Furthermore, it can only measure within a single plane, resulting in poor versatility under different testing conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems of inflexible adjustment and poor versatility of existing fan speed measuring mechanisms by providing a seat ventilation fan speed measuring mechanism. This solves the problem of inflexible adjustment of existing fan speed measuring mechanisms, ensuring the standardization and accuracy of testing. At the same time, this measuring mechanism is versatile and compatible with different fan models, which also helps to save costs.

The measuring mechanism includes a measuring base, a vertical lifting mechanism, and a movable measuring platform. The movable measuring platform can be vertically lifted on the vertical lifting mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the movable clamping table is connected to the clamping base via a horizontal sliding device, the horizontal sliding device including a horizontal slide rail and a horizontal slide rail platform, the horizontal slide rail platform being matched with the horizontal slide rail.

The movable clamping table is mounted on the horizontal slide rail platform through its internal support base, so that the movable clamping table can slide horizontally along the horizontal slide rail, and the optimal clamping position can be found when measuring different models of fans.
[0009] More preferably, the power arm, the force transmission arm, and the support base are riveted together in pairs to form a force application assembly. The clamping effect is achieved by applying force to the power arm.

[0011] Preferably, the movable measuring platform is mounted on the screw nut and vertical slide rail platform via its internal support plate, so that the movable measuring platform can slide vertically along the vertical slide rail. At the same time, due to the influence of gravity, the vertical screw assembly can fix the movable measuring platform in a fixed position.
[0012] Preferably, the horizontal moving mechanism is connected to the hinge support via a hinge joint, and the hinge support is connected to the support plate via screws, so that the horizontal moving mechanism can move vertically up and down together with the support plate. The sensor is mounted on the horizontal moving mechanism, thereby enabling rapid and accurate adjustment of the sensor's height.
[0013] Preferably, the horizontal moving mechanism is a planar multi-bar mechanism, including a left rocker, a left connecting rod, a right connecting rod, and a right rocker that are hinged in sequence to form a W-shaped structure. While ensuring the strength of the support, the hinge point of the left connecting rod and the right connecting rod can be quickly adjusted to any position on the horizontal plane. At the same time, a rubber ring is added to the rotation shaft at each hinge point to make the positioning more stable.
[0014] Preferably, the support is installed at the hinge of the left and right connecting rods, and the sensor is a photoelectric speed sensor installed inside the support, so that the sensor can be adjusted to any position on the horizontal plane, thereby achieving the effect of rapid positioning when measuring different types of fans.
[0015] Preferably, the power source device is connected to the lead screw, and the turntable in the power source device can convert the rotational motion of the lead screw into the linear motion of the lead screw nut, thereby adjusting the height of the lead screw nut. The handle in the power source device is used to fix the height of the lead screw nut.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the workbench is provided with a sample mounting base, which is used to support the fan sample.
[0017] More preferably, the sample mounting base is a magnetic support column, which uses three columns to support the sample, and can be quickly removed and moved to any position to accommodate different models of fans.

[0035] The movable measuring platform 33 in the measuring mechanism 3 is connected to the measuring base 31 through the vertical lifting mechanism 32. The vertical lifting mechanism 32 includes a vertical screw assembly 321, a pair of vertical slide rails 322 and a vertical slide rail platform 323.

One end of the handle 3215 is connected to the fastener, and the rod of the handle 3215 is threadedly connected to the base. Rotating the handle 3215 causes the fastener to move towards the lead screw 3211, thus clamping the lead screw 3211 and keeping it stationary to prevent rotation.

By aligning with the fan blades, the speed of different models of seat fans at different heights can be measured.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
