Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0019] See Figures 2-4As shown, a calibration fixture for an engine torque sensor according to the present invention includes a support rod 1 connected to a workbench support 3 at both ends. A limiting groove 21 is formed on the support rod 1, and a pin 2 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 21. One end of the pin 2 passes through a torque connector 4 and extends vertically into a motor shaft 5. The other end of the pin 2 is provided with an upper fixed seat 6, and a rod end joint bearing 20 is provided on the upper fixed seat 6. The pin 2 is inserted into the rod end joint bearing 20. A tension / compression sensor 7 is connected to the bottom of the upper fixed seat 6, and a lower fixed seat 8 is connected to the bottom of the tension / compression sensor 7. The upper fixed seat 6 and the lower fixed seat 8 are symmetrically arranged. A base 9 is connected to the lower fixed seat 8, and the base 9 is mounted on the workbench support 3. The tension / compression sensor 7 is electrically connected to an industrial control computer 12, and a data acquisition card is provided on the industrial control computer 12. The data acquisition card is electrically connected to the tension / compression sensor 7. First, through... Install the base 9 into the designated position on the workbench bracket 3. Then, thread the lower threaded post 17 of the tension / compression sensor 7 to the lower fixed seat 8. Thread the upper threaded post 17 of the tension / compression sensor 7 to the lower fixed seat 8. Insert the pin 2 through the support rod 1 into the torque connector 4 of the torque sensor 19 and into the motor shaft 5. Then, project the signal onto the reflector 13 via the photoelectric sensor 11 to determine if the pin 2 is installed correctly. Next, insert the lower fixed seat 8 into the two side blocks of the base 9 and lock it in place using the pin 10. Manually rotate the motor shaft 5. If the pin 2 can be firmly locked into the motor shaft 5 and other connecting parts are not loose, the tooling is considered assembled. After installation, since the pin 2 has locked the motor shaft 5, the torque sensor 19 will receive the torque value when the motor 18 rotates. Meanwhile, the motor shaft 5 drives the pin 2 to rotate, which in turn acts on the tension / compression sensor 7. The tension / compression sensor 7 transmits the pressure value to the industrial control computer 12 through the data acquisition card. The industrial control computer 12 obtains the reaction torque by comparing the pressure value of the sensor with the lever arm value of the pin, and thus obtains the torque value of the motor 18. By comparing the torque value on the industrial control computer 12 with the torque value of the torque sensor 19, the torque sensor 19 can be calibrated or its parameters adjusted. This calibration fixture has a simple structure, is easy to install and disassemble, and can quickly calibrate the torque sensor 19 in the engine torque test, ensuring the accuracy of the engine torque test.
[0020] Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on the support rod 1 above the pin 2, and a photoelectric sensor 11 is provided in the mounting hole. A reflector 13 corresponding to the photoelectric sensor 11 is embedded on the pin 2. When the pin 2 is successfully inserted into the motor shaft 5, the reflector 13 is located directly below the photoelectric sensor 11. The photoelectric sensor 11 can detect whether the pin 2 has been installed in place by reflecting the signal through the reflector.
[0021] Preferably, a screw 14 is provided on one end of the pin 2 near the upper fixed seat 6. The screw 14 passes through the upper fixed seat 6 and is threadedly connected to the locking nut 15. The locking nut 15 is used to lock the installation and prevent the pin 2 from loosening and falling off.
[0022] Furthermore, a spring 16 is provided on the outer sleeve of the screw 14. The spring 16 is located between the locking nut 15 and the upper fixed seat 6, providing tension to the locking nut 15 and preventing the locking nut 15 from loosening.
[0023] Furthermore, the tension / compression sensor 7 has threaded posts 17 at both the upper and lower ends. The threaded posts 17 on the upper and lower sides are threadedly connected to the upper fixed seat 6 and the lower fixed seat 8 respectively. The use of threaded connection facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0024] Furthermore, the lower fixing seat 8 and the base 9 are detachably connected by pins 10, which facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0025] In this embodiment, the calibration fixture for an engine torque sensor is used by first installing the base 9 to the designated position on the workbench bracket 3, then threading the lower threaded post 17 of the tension / compression sensor 7 to the lower fixed seat 8, and connecting the upper threaded post 17 of the tension / compression sensor 7 to the lower fixed seat 8. The pin 2 is then inserted through the support rod 1 into the torque connector 4 of the torque sensor 19 and into the motor shaft 5. The photoelectric sensor 11 projects the signal onto the reflector 13 to determine if the pin 2 is properly installed. Next, the lower fixed seat 8 is inserted into the two side blocks of the base 9 and locked using pins 10. The motor shaft 5 is then manually rotated. If the pin 2 can be firmly engaged in the motor shaft 5 and other connecting parts are not loose, the fixture is considered assembled. After installation, since the pin 2 has engaged the motor shaft 5, the torque sensor 19 receives the torque value when the motor 18 rotates. Simultaneously, the motor shaft 5 drives the pin 2 to rotate, which in turn acts on the tension / compression sensor 7. The tension / compression sensor 7 transmits the pressure value to the industrial control computer 12 via a data acquisition card. The industrial control computer 12 obtains the reaction torque by comparing the pressure value of the sensor with the lever arm value of the pin, thus acquiring the torque value of the motor 18. By comparing the torque value on the industrial control computer 12 with the torque value of the torque sensor 19, the torque sensor 19 can be calibrated or its parameters adjusted. This invention provides a calibration fixture for an engine torque sensor, which has a simple structure, facilitates installation and disassembly, and allows for rapid calibration of the torque sensor 19 during engine torque testing, ensuring the accuracy of the engine torque test.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
