Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical metrology and testing technology, and in particular to a calibration device for hydraulic tensioners. Background Technology

[0002] A hydraulic bolt tensioner, or simply a hydraulic tensioner, is a tool for tightening and loosening bolts. It is widely applicable in industries such as metallurgy, mining, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, power systems, locomotives, and heavy machinery. Utilizing hydraulic power provided by an ultra-high-pressure pump, it stretches the bolt within its elastic deformation zone, taking advantage of the material's allowable elastic range, to achieve the purpose of tightening or loosening the bolt. It can also be used as a device to apply axial force to hydraulic interference fits for pressure installation. Especially in heavily polluted or space-constrained working environments, hydraulic tensioning devices are irreplaceable by any other tool, making them ideal process equipment for assembling large and medium-sized machinery and maintaining equipment. This significantly improves construction efficiency.

[0003] Current calibration devices measure directly using tensile force sensors. This design involves numerous connectors and significant deformation under stress, making it susceptible to factors such as off-center loading during measurement. Consequently, the measurement accuracy is low, making it difficult to evaluate internal leakage indicators and hindering portable measurement. Furthermore, most hydraulic tensioner calibration devices are bulky and not portable. Therefore, we propose a hydraulic tensioner calibration device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a hydraulic tensioner calibration device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a hydraulic tensioner calibration device, comprising a tensioner and a puller, wherein a second support plate is provided inside the tensioner, a first support plate is provided above the second support plate inside the tensioner, the puller is provided above the first support plate, a chassis is provided at the bottom of the tensioner, and a force sensor is provided at the center of the interior of the first support plate.

[0006] Preferably, the surfaces of the first support plate and the second support plate are provided with threaded holes arranged in a circumferential array and are fixedly connected by a threaded adapter, and the force sensor abuts against the second support plate.

[0007] Preferably, a slot is provided on one side of the tensioner, a hose connector is provided on one side of the force sensor that passes through the first support plate, a connecting hose is provided at the end of the hose connector away from the force sensor, and a display instrument is provided at the end of the connecting hose away from the hose connector.

[0008] Preferably, the puller and the chassis are respectively provided with a first tool sleeve hole and a second tool sleeve hole that are equally distributed on their sides, the chassis has a threaded sleeve hole at the center of its surface, and the puller has a threaded connection port on one side.

[0009] Preferably, the groove is adapted to and engaged with the hose connector.

[0010] Preferably, the puller is located on the force sensor and is locked relative to it.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, a force sensor is used. A tool passes through the hole in the first tool sleeve to lock the puller onto the surface of the force sensor. The force sensor is in close contact with the first and second support plates and detects the relative pressing force between the first and second support plates. The calibration device also includes a connecting hose electrically connected to the data acquisition interface and a data acquisition and display instrument electrically connected to the connecting hose. This allows for real-time monitoring and high measurement accuracy. Currently, most existing hydraulic tensioner calibration devices suffer from low measurement accuracy and large size, making them impractical for portability. This device has a simple structure, is easy to carry to the work site for calibration, and provides stable calibration data.
