DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] The application provides a kind of inertial moment measuring device, as shown in Figures 1-7 Including magnetic suspension bearing 1, winding wheel 2, pull wire driving assembly, pull wire 4 and tension sensor 5;

[0031] Magnetic suspension bearing 1 includes rotor 6 and stator 7, rotor 6 is suspended under the magnetic force of stator 7, the magnetic suspension bearing 1 can be any kind of existing magnetic suspension bearing that can be fed back by sensor, ensure that when load is applied, rotor 6 position will not move with load;Rotating part to be measured 8 is coaxially fixed with rotor 6, so that rotating part to be measured 8 rotates freely around its own rotation axis, to avoid rotating part to be measured 8 in the process of rotation produces the frictional resistance that hinders rotating part to be measured 8 rotation;

[0032] Winding wheel 2 is coaxially fixed with rotor 6, to rotate with rotating part to be measured 8, one end of pull wire 4 is wound on winding wheel 2, the pull wire 4 is thin wire with diameter being negligible;

[0033] The cable drive assembly includes a constant-speed motor 9, a take-up reel 10, and a circular limit wheel 11. The constant-speed motor 9 can be any existing servo motor or stepper motor capable of controlling the rotation speed. In this embodiment, a stepper motor is preferred. The constant-speed motor 9 is connected to and drives the take-up reel 10 to rotate at a constant speed. The other end of the cable 4 is wound around the outer circumference of the take-up reel 10. The constant-speed motor 9 drives the take-up reel 10 to rotate at a constant speed to wind up and retract the cable 4, so that the portion of the cable 4 located between the take-up reel 10 and the release reel 2 is tensioned to form a straightened section 12. The straightened section 12 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating component 8 to be tested and is tangent to the take-up reel 10 at the cable tangency point 13. Preferably, the take-up reel 10 is located directly above the release reel 2, and the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 is perpendicular to the rotating component 8 to be tested. The rotation axis of the moving part 8 is perpendicular; the take-up reel 10 is linearly slidable, the circular limit wheel 11 is fixed in position and tangent to the take-up reel 10, the position where the circular limit wheel 11 and the take-up reel 10 are tangent is on the same side of the take-up reel 10 as the position where the straightening section 12 and the take-up reel 10 are tangent. When the distance from the pull point 13 to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 increases, the circular limit wheel 11 will push against the take-up reel 10, causing the take-up reel 10 to move, thereby keeping the pull point 13 within a small range of movement, so that the movement of the pull point 13 can be ignored in subsequent calculations. The outer periphery of the take-up reel 10 is an involute, so that the change in the distance from the pull point 13 to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 is proportional to the rotation angle of the take-up reel 10.

[0034] Assuming the line connecting the point of tangency 13 of the pull line to the axis of rotation of the take-up reel 10 is perpendicular to the pull line 4, when it is not perpendicular, calculations can be performed based on velocity decomposition, and the displacement of the point of tangency of the pull line is negligible. Therefore, kinematic calculations yield:

[0035] r1 = r0 + bt;

[0036] v1=ω1r1=ω1(r0+bt)=ω1r0+ω1bt;

[0037] α = v'1(t) = ω1b;

[0038] Where r1 is the actual distance from the wire pulling point 13 to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 during the working process, r0 is the distance from the wire pulling point 13 to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 in the initial state, b is the proportional coefficient between the change in distance from the wire pulling point 13 to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 10 and the rotation angle of the take-up reel 10, t is the rotation time of the constant speed motor 9, v1 is the wire recovery speed, ω1 is the angular velocity of the take-up reel 10, and α is the acceleration of the wire.

[0039] Since ω1 and b are both constants, the acceleration of the pull line is a constant value, and the angular acceleration of the pay-off wheel 2 is a constant value, which is equal to the angular acceleration of the measured rotating member 8. According to the formula: M = Jα1, M is the moment, J is the moment of inertia, and α1 is the angular acceleration of the measured rotating member 8, J = M / α1 can be obtained. At this time, only one variable M needs to be measured to obtain J. Since the magnetic suspension bearing 1 allows the measured rotating member 8 to rotate freely around its own rotation axis, air resistance is ignored, and M is equal to the tension of the pull line 4.

[0040] The tension sensor 5 is installed on the pull line 4 to measure the tension of the pull line 4, and then the moment of inertia J can be obtained. The measurement process is very simple and accurate.

[0041] In the preferred embodiment, in order to make the rotation process of the measured rotating member 8 more stable and facilitate the balance of the force moment caused by the pull line 4 pulling the pay-off wheel 2 to overturn the measured rotating member 8, the magnetic suspension bearing 1 is provided with two magnetic suspension bearings 1, the two magnetic suspension bearings 1 are symmetrically arranged, and the measured rotating member 8 is fixed between the rotors 6 of the two magnetic suspension bearings 1.

[0042] More specifically, the magnetic suspension bearing 1 has the following structure. The stator 7 includes two first electromagnets 14 arranged side by side. The two first electromagnets 14 are fixed in position. The rotor 6 is a cylindrical permanent magnet and is located above and between the two first electromagnets 14. The two first electromagnets 14 are used to apply magnetic force in the radial direction of the rotor 6 to suspend the rotor 6. The stator 7 also includes a second electromagnet 15 located on one axial side of the rotor 6. The second electromagnet 15 is fixed in position and spaced from the rotor 6 to apply magnetic force in the axial direction of the rotor 6. The magnetic suspension bearing 1 also includes a displacement sensor group 16 and a controller, which is not shown in the figure. The controller can be any existing device such as a personal computer that can accept processing and output signals. The displacement sensor group 16 is used to collect spatial position information of the rotor 6. Specifically, the displacement sensor group 16 includes a fixed photoelectric position sensor 18, a first Hall sensor 19, and a second Hall sensor 20. The photoelectric position sensor 18 is located directly above the rotor 6. The first Hall sensor 19 is located below the rotor 6. The second Hall sensor 20 is located on one axial side of the rotor 6. The displacement sensor group 16, the second electromagnet 15, and the two first electromagnets 14 are all communicatively connected to the controller, so that the second electromagnet 15 and the two first electromagnets 14 can adjust the magnetic force according to the spatial position information of the rotor 6 to prevent displacement of the measured rotating member 8.

[0043] More specifically, in the embodiment, the magnetic suspension bearing 1 is fixed on a base frame 21, a portal frame 22 is fixed above the base frame 21, the wire drive assembly is arranged on the portal frame 22, a horizontally extending slide 23 is formed on the portal frame 22, the wire drive assembly has a sliding frame 24, a roller 25 is arranged on the sliding frame 24, the roller 25 rolls in the slide 23, the sliding frame 24 is slidingly installed on the slide 23 and slides along the slide 23, the constant speed motor 9 and the take-up reel 10 are installed on the sliding frame 24, and the circular limiting wheel 11 is installed on the portal frame 22.

[0044] The above merely describes the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the design of the present application. Any equivalent changes made according to the key design of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
