In the field of modern aerospace, the requirements for operational accuracy and safety performance are becoming increasingly stringent, especially in critical missions such as satellite deployment, space station maintenance, and launch vehicle launches. In these applications, accurate measurement and control of the applied forces and the torques they generate are essential to ensure the success of the mission. The aerospace field faces a complex working environment and extreme operating conditions, which places high demands on the design and performance of six-dimensional force measurement technology. Traditional technologies such as force sensors, strain sensors, piezoelectric sensors, and inertial measurement units are widely used in the aerospace field, but the needs of aerospace-specific environments are still challenging.
[0003] Six-axis force sensors are widely used in many scientific and technological fields due to their highly integrated structure and excellent measurement performance. Their structure usually includes highly sensitive force sensing elements and complex signal processing circuits, which can convert mechanical forces into electrical signals for further analysis and application. However, the structure of traditional six-axis force sensors at home and abroad is complex and cumbersome, and the overall weight is relatively heavy. They cannot take into account both static and dynamic measurements, and the measurement accuracy is low. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the technical defects of traditional six-dimensional force sensors, such as complex and cumbersome structure, overall heavy weight, inability to take into account both static and dynamic measurements and low measurement accuracy, the present invention provides a multi-dimensional force measurement device that takes into account both static and dynamic measurements.
[0005] The present invention provides a multi-dimensional force measuring device that takes into account both static measurement and dynamic measurement, including a measuring component and a vibration isolation component; the measuring component includes a bottom plate, a top plate and a cantilever beam; the two ends of the cantilever beam are fixedly connected to the bottom plate through two supporting rods, a supporting arm is extended upward from the middle of the cantilever beam, a limiting groove is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate, the top end of the supporting arm is inserted into the limiting groove, a uniaxial strain gauge, a first biaxial strain gauge and a second biaxial strain gauge for static measurement are arranged on the cantilever beam on the right side of the supporting arm, the sensitive grid directions of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge are perpendicular to each other and are respectively used to detect forces and moments in corresponding directions; an X-type piezoelectric crystal, a first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and a second Y-type piezoelectric crystal for dynamic measurement are arranged on the cantilever beam on the left side of the supporting arm, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second The polarization directions of the Y-type piezoelectric crystals are perpendicular to each other and are used to detect forces and moments in corresponding directions respectively; a signal processing circuit board is arranged on the bottom plate, and a uniaxial strain gauge, a first biaxial strain gauge, a second biaxial strain gauge, an X-type piezoelectric crystal, a first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and a second Y-type piezoelectric crystal are respectively connected to the signal processing circuit board; the vibration isolation component includes a first horizontal support plate, a second horizontal support plate, a multi-layer isolation sleeve and at least one support column, the support column is fixedly connected between the first horizontal support plate and the second horizontal support plate, the support column is located at the center of the multi-layer isolation sleeve, the axes of the multi-layer isolation sleeves are collinear, and elastic materials are filled in the interlayers of adjacent isolation sleeves, and the top and bottom of the isolation sleeves are respectively abutted against the bottom surface of the first horizontal support plate and the top surface of the second horizontal support plate; the bottom plate of the measuring component is fixedly connected to the first horizontal support plate.
[0006] In the device, the upper part is the measuring component, and the lower part is the vibration isolation component. The measuring component is fixed to the top of the vibration isolation component to ensure that the force transmission is not affected. The second horizontal support plate of the vibration isolation component is fixed to the base or installation platform of the equipment, which effectively reduces the impact of environmental vibration on the measuring component and improves the measurement accuracy and stability of the measuring component. In the measuring component, the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge are responsible for static measurement, and the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal are responsible for dynamic measurement. The uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal have their own sensitive measurement directions, and only respond to the force in their most sensitive direction. Moreover, the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal do not affect each other.
[0007] When force acts on the top plate of the measuring device, the cantilever beam is bent and deformed by the force. The uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, and the second biaxial strain gauge can detect the strain in the corresponding direction, and their resistance values change. By measuring the change in the corresponding resistance value, the magnitude of the strain can be determined, and then it can be used to measure the force and torque in three mutually perpendicular directions. Similarly, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal, and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal can detect the strain in the corresponding direction. Based on the piezoelectric effect, electric charges will be generated, and the change in charge is converted into a voltage signal, which is then used to calculate the force and torque in three mutually perpendicular directions. The uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal, and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal can be processed and output separately through the signal processing circuit board, thereby obtaining independent output signals. The signal processing circuit board is a highly integrated PCB board. Its main function is to collect the resistance or voltage changes of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal, thereby generating changes in electrical signals, and then decoupling the digital signals for external transmission.
[0008] The response of the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal is relatively fast, usually at the microsecond level; the response time of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge is relatively slow, usually at the millisecond level. The X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal can be used to capture rapidly changing dynamic forces; the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge can be used to monitor continuous static forces. Therefore, the device of the present invention can achieve full-band force measurement from static low frequency to dynamic high frequency. The uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge compensate for the deficiencies of the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal in static and low-frequency measurements, while the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal compensate for the deficiencies of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge in high-frequency and dynamic measurements.
[0009] The measuring device described in the present invention combines the stability of strain-type force measurement and the rapid response capability of piezoelectric force measurement, realizes the combination of static measurement and dynamic measurement, and can capture rapidly changing torque and force while maintaining high precision; the structure is safe and reliable, the size of each component can be reasonably adjusted, and the replacement is convenient; the vibration isolation component effectively reduces the influence of external vibration on the measurement accuracy of the measuring device, and further ensures the reliability of the measurement results; and finally realizes the precise measurement and output of six-dimensional force in an aerospace environment.
[0010] Preferably, the direction of the cantilever beam is parallel to the plane of the bottom plate, the sensitive grid direction of the uniaxial strain gauge is parallel to the Z direction, the uniaxial strain gauge is arranged on the top surface of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and moment in the Z direction, the sensitive grid direction of the first biaxial strain gauge is parallel to the X direction, the first biaxial strain gauge is arranged on the front side wall of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and moment in the X direction, the sensitive grid direction of the second biaxial strain gauge is parallel to the Y direction, the second biaxial strain gauge is arranged on the rear side wall of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and moment in the Y direction. Torque; the polarization direction of the X-type piezoelectric crystal is parallel to the Z direction, the X-type piezoelectric crystal is arranged on the top surface of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and torque in the Z direction, the polarization direction of the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal is parallel to the X direction, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal is arranged on the front side wall of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and torque in the X direction, the polarization direction of the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal is parallel to the Y direction, the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal is arranged on the rear side wall of the cantilever beam and is used to measure the force and torque in the Y direction, and the X direction, Y direction and Z direction are perpendicular to each other. This arrangement is reasonable, and the specific arrangement of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal can be adjusted appropriately as needed. Taking the uniaxial strain gauge as an example, the mechanical stress applied in the Z direction will cause the resistance value of the uniaxial strain gauge to change. By measuring the corresponding change in resistance value, the magnitude of the strain can be determined, and then used to measure the force and torque in the Z direction. The measurement principle of the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge is the same as that of the uniaxial strain gauge. Taking the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal as an example, the mechanical stress applied in the X direction will cause the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal to generate an electric charge. By measuring the change in the corresponding charge, the force and torque in the X direction can be determined. Among them, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal can be polarized in the corresponding direction by applying an electric field, and the direction of the electric field will determine the polarization direction. The piezoelectric crystal is placed between the electrodes to ensure that the arrangement of the electrodes can generate an electric field parallel to the corresponding direction. The electrodes need to be placed along this direction and in close contact with the crystal surface. Appropriate voltage is applied to the electrodes through a power supply to generate a sufficiently strong electric field inside the piezoelectric crystal to induce polarization. The detection principle of the X-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal is the same as that of the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal.
[0011] Preferably, the signal processing circuit board includes an amplifier, a low-pass filter, a charge amplifier, a high-pass filter, an analog-to-digital conversion module and an output interface. The amplifier and the low-pass filter are connected in series to form a strain gauge signal conditioning subcircuit. The charge amplifier and the high-pass filter are connected in series to form a piezoelectric sheet signal conditioning subcircuit. The output end of the strain gauge signal conditioning subcircuit and the output end of the piezoelectric sheet signal conditioning subcircuit are connected in parallel to the input end of the analog-to-digital conversion module. The output signal of the analog-to-digital conversion module is processed by the data acquisition system and connected to the output interface. The output ends of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge are respectively connected to the input end of the strain gauge signal conditioning subcircuit through corresponding Wheatstone bridges. The output ends of the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal are respectively connected to the input end of the piezoelectric sheet signal conditioning subcircuit. The output ends of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge correspond to three Wheatstone bridges respectively, and the Wheatstone bridge can convert the resistance change of the strain gauge into a voltage change. Usually, the Wheatstone bridge consists of four resistors: R1, R2, R3 and R4. The strain gauge replaces R1 and R2 and is connected to one diagonal of the Wheatstone bridge. The other two R3 and R4 are connected to the other diagonal of the Wheatstone bridge. When the strain gauge is subjected to an external force and causes the resistance to change, the Wheatstone bridge loses balance, resulting in a non-zero output voltage. The output voltage is proportional to the resistance change of the strain gauge, so it can be used to measure force and torque. Since the piezoelectric crystal directly generates a charge signal, the charge signal is very weak and susceptible to noise interference. Therefore, a charge amplifier is required for amplification. The amplifier in the strain gauge signal conditioning subcircuit is used to amplify the signal, enhance the amplitude of the signal, and make the signal easy to be processed by the subsequent circuit. The low-pass filter is used to remove high-frequency noise and interference in the signal; the high-pass filter is used to remove low-frequency noise, such as static signal interference from the strain gauge, and retain high-frequency dynamic signals. The digital signal is processed by the data acquisition system to obtain more accurate force and torque information. The output interface can use RS485 interface to transmit the processed digital signal to external equipment or system.
[0012] Preferably, the measuring assembly further comprises a protective sleeve, which is sleeved on the outer sides of the bottom plate and the top plate, and has an interference fit with the bottom plate and the top plate. The protective sleeve can prevent debris from falling onto the cantilever beam, thereby avoiding interference with the measurement of the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal, and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal.
[0013] Preferably, the top plate, the bottom plate, the first horizontal support plate, and the second horizontal support plate are all circular plate structures, and the axes of the top plate, the bottom plate, the first horizontal support plate, the second horizontal support plate, the protective sleeve, the isolation sleeve, and the support arm are collinear; and the detection contact area of the force to be measured is marked on the upper surface of the top plate. This arrangement is structurally reasonable, and the detection contact area is usually located in the center area of the top plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present invention has the following technical effects: the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal in the measuring device of the present invention can be used to capture rapidly changing dynamic forces; the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge and the second biaxial strain gauge can be used to monitor continuous static forces, so the device of the present invention can achieve full-band force measurement from static low frequency to dynamic high frequency; the combination of static measurement and dynamic measurement is realized, and while maintaining high precision, rapidly changing torque and force can be captured; and the uniaxial strain gauge, the first biaxial strain gauge, the second biaxial strain gauge, the X-type piezoelectric crystal, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal are arranged on the same cantilever beam, which minimizes the weight of the overall device, makes the structure simple, safe and reliable, and the size of each component can be reasonably adjusted, and is easy to replace; the vibration isolation component effectively reduces the influence of external vibration on the measurement accuracy of the measuring device, and further ensures the reliability of the measurement results; and finally, the precise measurement and output of six-dimensional force are achieved in an aerospace environment.

[0024] In the device, the upper part is a measuring component, and the lower part is a vibration isolation component. The measuring component is fixed to the top of the vibration isolation component to ensure that the force transmission is not affected. The second horizontal support plate 15 of the vibration isolation component is fixedly installed on the base or installation platform of the device, effectively reducing the impact of environmental vibration on the measuring component and improving the measurement accuracy and stability of the measuring component. In the measuring component, the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 are responsible for static measurement, and the X-type piezoelectric crystal 10, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal 12 are responsible for dynamic measurement.

[0025] When force acts on the top plate 2 of the measuring device, the cantilever beam 3 is bent and deformed by the force, and the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8, and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 can detect the strain in the corresponding direction, and their resistance values change. By measuring the change in the corresponding resistance value, the magnitude of the strain can be determined, and then it is used to measure the force and torque in three mutually perpendicular directions.

[0026] The response of the X-type piezoelectric crystal 10, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal 12 is relatively fast, usually in the microsecond level; the response time of the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 is relatively slow, usually in the millisecond level. The X-type piezoelectric crystal 10, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal 12 can be used to capture rapidly changing dynamic forces; the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 can be used to monitor continuous static forces.

Taking the uniaxial strain gauge 7 as an example, the mechanical stress applied in the Z direction will cause the resistance of the uniaxial strain gauge 7 to change. By measuring the change in the corresponding resistance, the magnitude of the strain can be determined, and then used to measure the force and torque in the Z direction. The measurement principle of the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 is the same as that of the uniaxial strain gauge 7. Taking the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 as an example, the mechanical stress applied in the X direction will cause the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 to generate a charge.

The piezoelectric crystal is placed between the electrodes to ensure that the arrangement of the electrodes can generate an electric field parallel to the corresponding direction. The electrodes need to be placed along this direction and in close contact with the crystal surface. An appropriate voltage is applied to the electrodes through a power supply to generate a sufficiently strong electric field inside the piezoelectric crystal to induce polarization.

The output signal of the analog-to-digital conversion module is connected to the output interface after being processed by the data acquisition system. The output ends of the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 are respectively connected to the input end of the strain gauge signal conditioning subcircuit through corresponding Wheatstone bridges. The output ends of the X-type piezoelectric crystal 10, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11 and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal 12 are respectively connected to the input end of the piezoelectric sheet signal conditioning subcircuit. The output ends of the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8 and the second biaxial strain gauge 9 correspond to three Wheatstone bridges respectively, and the Wheatstone bridge can convert the resistance change of the strain gauge into a voltage change. Usually the Wheatstone bridge consists of four resistors: R1, R2, R3 and R4. The strain gauge replaces R1 and R2 and is connected to one diagonal of the Wheatstone bridge. The other two R3 and R4 are connected to the other diagonal of the Wheatstone bridge. When the strain gauge is subjected to external force and the resistance changes, the Wheatstone bridge loses balance, thereby generating a non-zero output voltage. The output voltage is proportional to the resistance change of the strain gauge, so it can be used to measure force and torque. Since the piezoelectric crystal directly generates a charge signal, the charge signal is very weak and susceptible to noise interference. Therefore, a charge amplifier is required for amplification. The amplifier is used to amplify the signal and enhance the amplitude of the signal so that the signal can be easily processed by the subsequent circuit. The low-pass filter is used to remove high-frequency noise and interference in the signal; the high-pass filter is used to remove low-frequency noise, such as static signal interference from the strain gauge, and retain high-frequency dynamic signals. The digital signal is processed by the data acquisition system to obtain more accurate force and torque information. The output interface can use the RS485 interface, and the processed digital signal is transmitted to the external device or system through the output interface.

The protective sleeve 19 can prevent debris from falling onto the cantilever beam 3, thereby avoiding interference with the measurement of the uniaxial strain gauge 7, the first biaxial strain gauge 8, the second biaxial strain gauge 9, the X-type piezoelectric crystal 10, the first Y-type piezoelectric crystal 11, and the second Y-type piezoelectric crystal 12. In a specific embodiment, the outer wall of the protective sleeve 19 is flush with the outer circumferential surface of the first horizontal support plate 14, the outermost isolation sleeve 16, and the second horizontal support plate 15, so that the structure is reasonable and the stability of the overall structure is better.
