Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bolt axial force detection, and more specifically, to a passive wireless bolt axial force measurement method and measurement device. Background Art

[0002] As an important connecting component, the axial force of a bolt is a key factor for evaluating the connection performance and directly affects the safety and stability of the structure. Therefore, accurately measuring the axial force of a bolt is crucial for ensuring the installation quality, preventing structural failure, and performing maintenance and repair. Currently, the measurement techniques for bolt axial force mainly include ultrasonic detection method, torque method, rotation angle method, strain gauge method, etc. Among them, the ultrasonic detection method has become one of the mainstream methods due to its non-destructive detection characteristics. This method is based on the acoustoelastic effect, that is, the velocity of elastic waves in a solid structure changes with the change of stress, and the axial force of the bolt is calculated by measuring the propagation velocity of ultrasonic waves in the bolt. This method can not only achieve online monitoring, but also is easy to install and is applicable to the bolt axial force detection in various complex environments.

[0003] However, since many bolts are installed at high altitudes or other positions that are difficult for personnel to reach, and it is necessary to dynamically master the bolt axial force state, it is very necessary to monitor the bolt axial force. Since the current monitoring devices require power supply, acquisition circuit, control circuit, wireless communication circuit, etc., the cost of the monitoring devices is high. In addition, it is limited by the battery service life and cannot be used for a long period, thus restricting the effective monitoring of bolt axial force.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the art for a low-cost and battery-free axial force monitoring method and device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention
