Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of motor testing, and relates to a motor power testing method and system, in particular to a micro-torque motor power testing system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The micro-torque motor power testing has always been a difficulty in the motor industry, one is how to stably and continuously provide a micro-load torque, and the other is how to calibrate the micro-load torque.

[0003] Currently, there are two methods for testing the micro-power motor:

[0004] One is the weight pulley method, which uses the measured motor to drive the pulley, and the rope with the lifting weight is wound on the pulley. When the driving torque of the measured motor and the dynamic friction force generated by the rope on the pulley are balanced, the weight will hover in the air. As long as the appropriate weight and rope are selected, they can be used as the rated load torque of the measured motor to determine whether the power of the measured motor is qualified. However, when the test torque is small, it is difficult for the motor torque to balance the dynamic friction force generated by the rope, and the test precision is poor.

[0005] The second method is the hysteresis dynamometer method, which uses the current in the control coil to control the magnetic field generated by the control coil to generate a hysteresis force on the metal disc to provide a load torque. When the test torque is small, a series of measures need to be taken to reduce the rotational loss of the system to improve the test precision. The disadvantage of this method is that the system is complex and expensive, and the hysteresis dynamometer below 10mN.m is monopolized by foreign manufacturers. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a micro-torque motor power testing system and method, which not only does not need to balance the dynamic friction force, but also has low cost and high precision.

[0053] Step 4: Remove the torque calibration disc, rotate the shaft of the motor under test to connect it to the output shaft, and test the power of the motor under test.

[0054] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as a practical example.

[0055] The micro-torque motor power testing system of the present invention has a main body of bracket 1, and a permanent magnet 4 with N and S poles of alternating permanent magnets embedded at its end. The position of the permanent magnet 4 relative to the hysteresis disk 5 can be adjusted by screwing in and out of the adjusting screw 2 on the bracket. The hysteresis disk 5 is mounted on a bearing 7 fixed on the bracket 1 via an output shaft 6, and can rotate freely in a free state. During torque calibration, the torque calibration disk 8 is installed at the end of the output shaft, and a high-precision tension gauge 9 pulls the traction rope. The traction rope 10 rubs against the torque calibration disk 8, causing the torque calibration disk 8 to rotate and the weight 11 to rise. During motor testing, the torque calibration disk and traction rope are removed, and the motor 13 under test is connected to the output shaft 6 by a connecting sleeve 12.

[0056] Adjust the air gap between the permanent magnet disk 4 and the hysteresis disk 5 by screwing in or out the adjusting screw 2. Pull the weight 11 with a force gauge. The torque calibration disk 8 drives the output shaft 6 to rotate, and the output shaft 6 drives the hysteresis disk 5 to rotate. The hysteresis disk 5 will generate a magnetic damping torque under the alternating magnetic field. The value of the magnetic damping torque can be calculated by using the reading of the high-precision force gauge 9, the weight 11, the radius of the torque calibration disk 8, and the radius of the traction rope 10. After adjusting to the required torque for the test, fix the adjusting screw 2 with the set screw 3, remove the torque calibration wheel 8, the high-precision force gauge 9, the traction rope 10, and the weight 11, and connect the motor 13 under test to the output shaft 6 to test the motor power.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, this invention utilizes the alternating N and S permanent magnets distributed on the permanent magnet disk 4 to form an alternating magnetic field. When the air gap between the permanent magnet disk 4 and the hysteresis disk 5 made of magnetic damping material changes, the hysteresis disk 5 will generate different rotational torques. Alternatively, the permanent magnet disk 4 and the hysteresis disk 5 can be made into rings or cups, nested together, and different rotational torques can be generated by changing the area of ​​their interaction. The generated rotational torque is used as the load torque during motor power testing.

[0058] The high-precision force gauge 9 pulls the traction rope 10, and the traction rope 10 generates sliding friction with the torque calibration disk 8, causing the torque calibration disk 8 to rotate and the weight 11 to rise. The rotational torque generated by the interaction between the permanent magnet disk 4 and the hysteresis disk 5 is equal to (force gauge reading - weight of the weight) × (calibration disk radius + traction rope radius).

[0059] Taking the testing of a 0.9mN.m motor as an example, the radius of the calibration disc is 16mm and the radius of the traction rope is 0.3mm.

[0060] 0.9mN.m=918.36g.mm=Fx(16+0.3)mm F=56.34g

[0061] Select 100g as weight 11, pull the high-precision force gauge 9, and rotate the adjusting screw 2 until the force gauge reading is 156.34g. At this time, the permanent magnet disk 4, passing through the alternating magnetic field, generates a hysteresis torque of 0.9mN.m on the hysteresis disk 5. Fix the adjusting screw 2 with the set screw 3, and the rotational torque of the output shaft 6 is now 0.9mN.m. Figure 1 As shown.

[0062] Remove the torque calibration disc 8, high-precision tension gauge 9, and traction rope 10. Connect the motor under test 13 to the output shaft 6 using the connecting sleeve 12. With the motor under test powered on, the actual speed can be easily measured using a tachometer, and the rated power of the motor under test can be calculated. For example... Figure 2 As shown.
