[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Combination Figure 1 The present invention provides a fully automatic measurement and calibration system for a surface Rockwell hardness block, comprising a computer 1, a high-precision displacement measurement sensor 2, a grating displacement measurement system 3, a spring 4, a connecting rod 5, a measuring pressure head 6, a working platform 7, a weight tray 8, a force sensor 9, a worm screw 10, a weight selection rod 11, a servo motor A 12, a servo motor B 13, an adjustable foot cup 14, an electrical box 15, a bracket 16, a standard weight 17, and a weight selection tray 18;
[0022] The computer 1 and the electrical box 15 are both arranged on the bracket 16. The computer 1 can set the test parameters and control the operation of the servo motor through the electrical box 15. The servo motor A 12 and the servo motor B 13 are both fixed on the bracket 16. The high-precision displacement measurement sensor 2 and the grating displacement measurement system 3 are respectively connected to the computer 1 through data communication lines; the high-precision displacement measurement sensor 2 and the grating displacement measurement system 3 are installed on the connecting rod 5 through a fixed connecting frame; the upper end of the spring 4 is fixed on the connecting rod 5 and is sleeved on the outside of the measuring pressure head 6. In the natural state, the lower end protrudes from the measuring pressure head 6, which is used to buffer the measuring pressure head during testing; the measuring pressure head 6 is installed on the connecting rod 5 through a threaded hole; the working platform 7 is fixed on the bracket 16 and is located below the measuring pressure head 6, and is used to place the Rockwell hardness block of the surface to be calibrated 19; the connecting rod 5 can slide up and down along the working platform 7; the weight tray 8 is connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 5; the force sensor 9 is connected to the nut of the worm screw 10 and is located below the weight tray 8; a sliding rod is fixed in the bracket 16, and multiple groups of standard weights 17 are connected in series on the sliding rod and the connecting rod 5, and can move up and down along the sliding rod and the connecting rod 5, but cannot fall off; the weight tray 8 is located at the bottom of the multiple groups of standard weights 17 to support the standard weights 17, and the servo motor A12 is connected to the worm screw 10. In the initial state, the force sensor 9 contacts the weight tray 8 to lift the connecting rod 5, so that the measuring pressure head 6 is in a raised state. The weight selection rod 11 is connected to the servo motor B13, and multiple weight selection trays 18 are arranged along the height. The multiple weight selection trays 18 are staggered along the circumferential direction. The rotation of the servo motor B13 drives the weight selection rod 11 to rotate, and the weight selection trays 18 at different positions can be rotated to the standard weights 17 corresponding to different height layers to select the weights. There are gaps between the standard weights 17 to facilitate the insertion of the weight selection trays 18. The standard weights 17 on the weight selection trays 18 are lifted up and do not participate in loading. The bottom of the bracket 16 is provided with multiple adjustable foot cups 14 for leveling.
[0023] During metrological calibration, the Rockwell hardness block 19 of the surface to be calibrated is placed on the working platform 7. Figure 2 According to the requirements for the calibration of the surface Rockwell hardness block, the hardness calibration point m 1 、m 2 ...m n For example, the hardness calibration point m 1 During measurement, the type of Rockwell hardness block 19 of the calibrated surface is first input into computer 1, the magnitude of the test force F is automatically calculated, and the servo motor B13 is used to drive the weight selection rod 11 to rotate so that the weight selection card holder 18 moves to the corresponding position, thereby realizing the selection of the corresponding number of standard weights 17. The standard weights 17 on the corresponding card holder 18 are lifted and do not participate in the loading test. Set the hardness calibration point m on computer 1 1, and controls the rotation of servo motor A12.
[0024] For example, the types of 19 calibrated surface Rockwell hardness blocks include 15N, 30N, 45N, 15T, 30T, and 45T. If it is the 15N type, the required test force is 150N, the 30N test force is 300N, and the 45N test force is 450N.
[0025] At the same time, the measuring system uses the number of pulse signals n to control the servo motor A12 to rotate and drive the worm screw 10 to rotate clockwise, thereby moving the weight tray 8 downward, and the measuring pressure head 6 slowly presses on the surface of the Rockwell hardness block 19 to be calibrated; when the number of pulse signals reaches n, the servo motor A12 stops rotating and keeps rotating for (10-20) seconds, at which time the force sensor 9 displays a force value of FF 初 This state is the initial test force loading state; at this time, the computer 1 collects the displacement measurement values x and x of the grating displacement measurement system 3 through the data communication line. 1 , high-precision displacement measurement sensor 2 measurement value y 1 The maximum allowable error of the measurement results of the two methods is k1. If |x 1 -y 1 |≤k1, then the displacement measurement value is If |x 1 -y 1 |>k1, then discard the measurement result and re-measure. 初 is a constant, and its magnitude is 30N.
[0026] Subsequently, the measuring system uses the number of pulse signals m to continue to control the rotation of the servo motor A12 to drive the worm screw 10 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the weight tray 8 to continue to move downward, and the measuring pressure head 6 continues to slowly press on the surface of the Rockwell hardness block 19 to be calibrated; when the number of pulse signals reaches m, the servo motor A12 stops rotating and keeps for 15 seconds, at which time the weight tray 8 is completely separated from the force sensor 9, and the value displayed by the force sensor 9 is 0, which is the main test force loading state;
[0027] Then, the measuring system uses the number of pulse signals u to continue to control the servo motor A12 to rotate and drive the worm screw 10 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby moving the weight tray 8 upward, and the measuring pressure head 6 continues to slowly leave the surface of the Rockwell hardness block 19 to be calibrated; when the number of pulse signals reaches u, the servo motor A12 stops rotating and keeps rotating for (10-20) seconds, at which time the force sensor 9 displays a force value of F. 主, ; This state is the main test force unloading state; at this time, the computer 1 collects the displacement measurement value x of the grating displacement measurement system 3 through the data communication line 2 , high-precision displacement measurement sensor 2 measurement value y 2The maximum allowable error of the measurement results of the two methods is k2. If |x 2 -y 2 |≤k2, then the displacement measurement value is If |x 2 -y 2 |>k2, the measurement result is discarded and the measurement is repeated.
[0028] Finally, the measuring system uses the pulse signal number v to continue to control the servo motor A12 to rotate and drive the worm screw 10 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the weight tray 8 continues to move upward, and the measuring pressure head 6 continues to slowly leave the surface of the Rockwell hardness block 19 to be calibrated; when the pulse signal number reaches v, the servo motor A12 stops rotating and returns to the initial position. At this time, the force sensor 9 displays the force value F, which is the initial test force unloading state. The computer automatically calculates the corresponding hardness value (h is a constant: the value is 100), hardness indication error d 1 =j 1 -m 1 ;
[0029] The same method is used to complete the remaining hardness calibration point indication error d 2 ,d 3 ...d n This method combines displacement optical measurement with sensor measurement and has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy and simple algorithm to meet the requirements of tachometer measurement and calibration.
