The vehicle testing device that tests a test piece that is a vehicle or a part of the vehicle includes a rotating body on which the test piece is placed, and a cooling device that sends air from a side of the test piece to at least a part of the test piece in order to cool the test piece placed on the rotating body.
Claims11
A vehicle testing device that tests a test piece that is a vehicle or a part of the vehicle, the vehicle testing device comprising:
- a rotating body on which the test piece is placed;
- a cooling device that sends air from a side of the rotating body toward at least a part of the test piece in order to cool the test piece placed on the rotating body, wherein the cooling device includes an air outlet through which air is sent from the side of the rotating body toward at least a part of the test piece, and a wind direction adjuster that adjusts a position or an orientation of the air outlet;
- and
- a vehicle fixing part disposed on the side of the rotating body so as to extend in a front-rear direction of the test piece and used to fix the test piece on the rotating body, wherein the wind direction adjuster is fixed to the vehicle fixing part.
A cooling method for cooling at least a part of a test piece that is a vehicle placed on a rotating body or a part of the vehicle, the cooling method comprising:
- sending air via an air outlet from a side of the rotating body to at least a part of the test piece in order to cool the test piece placed on the rotating body on which the test piece is placed;
- and
- adjusting a position or an orientation of the air outlet via a wind direction adjuster that is fixed to a vehicle fixing part disposed on the side of the rotating body so as to extend in a front-rear direction of the test piece and used to fix the test piece on the rotating body.
A vehicle testing device that tests a test piece that is a vehicle or a part of the vehicle, the vehicle testing device comprising:
- a rotating body on which the test piece is placed;
- and
- a cooling device that sends air from a side of the rotating body toward at least a part of the test piece in order to cool the test piece placed on the rotating body, wherein the cooling device includes an air outlet through which air is sent from the side of the rotating body toward at least a part of the test piece, and a wind direction adjuster that adjusts a position or an orientation of the air outlet, and wherein the wind direction adjuster causes the air outlet to be turnable in a front-rear direction of the test piece.
