Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dynamic torque calibration test bench system, which is used to synchronously calibrate the dynamic torque and speed parameters of a torque sensor in a rotating state, providing a platform for dynamic parameter calibration of the torque sensor in a rotating state. Background Technology

[0002] Dynamic measurement using torque sensors under rotational conditions is a special type of measurement, studying the synchronous measurement of torque and speed under dynamic operating conditions. With the development of modern information technology, measuring torque sensors under dynamic operating conditions has become the latest trend in international measurement technology, receiving widespread attention from the international scientific community. Currently, torque calibration mainly uses static calibration methods, but this method suffers from problems such as significant differences from the actual working conditions of torque sensors in practical applications and the lack of unified dynamic calibration standards, failing to meet the needs of dynamic torque measurement in industrial fields. For these reasons, current dynamic calibration methods for torque sensors still have significant shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To further explore dynamic torque calibration methods and achieve more precise dynamic calibration of torque sensors, this invention provides a dynamic torque calibration test bench system capable of applying torque to a torque sensor under rotation and measuring the sensor under calibration using a comparison method. By converting the applied torque into the internal force of the torsion support system, the system avoids the control accuracy problems caused by power-consuming components and the excessive power of power-consuming components, thereby improving the accuracy of dynamic torque control.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a dynamic torque calibration test bench system, including a motor, a high-elasticity coupling, an oil distributor and an oil distributor shaft system, a torsion support system, a hydraulic torque loading system, a standard torque sensor, a torque sensor to be calibrated, a stator mounting bracket system, a bearing support system, and a stator power supply system. The motor drives the torsion support system and the hydraulic torque loading system, the standard sensor rotor, and the calibrated sensor rotor installed inside the torsion support system to rotate, thereby simulating the rotational speed under dynamic conditions. The forces at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder in the hydraulic torque loading system are applied in the form of torsional torque through the torsion support. Torque loads are formed on both sides of the rotor section of the standard torque sensor and both sides of the rotor section of the calibrated torque sensor. During operation at a certain speed, the external hydraulic control system controls the filling and unloading of oil in the hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic torque loading system through the distributor and distributor shaft system, so as to apply torque load to the torsion arm according to the set calibration signal. The stator section of the standard torque sensor, the stator section of the calibrated torque sensor, and the gyro stabilizer are all mounted on the sensor stator mounting bracket of the stator mounting bracket system. Their output signals and the gyro stabilizer control signals are transmitted wirelessly to the controller to complete the speed measurement and signal output of the calibrated torque sensor.

[0005] Furthermore, the distributor and distributor shaft system consists of oil pipes, distributor, and distributor shaft containing oil passages. The distributor contains distributor shaft containing oil passages, and the oil passages of distributor shaft are connected to oil pipes on distributor. Through distributor, oil passages, and hydraulic cylinder, the non-rotating hydraulic oil pressure is converted into a rotating dynamic torque load.

[0006] Furthermore, the torsion support system consists of a torsion support disc and a torsion support support rod, with the torsion support support rod mounted on the torsion support disc.

[0007] Furthermore, the hydraulic torque loading system consists of a hydraulic cylinder, a torsion arm, a torsion shaft a, and a torsion shaft b. The torsion arm is mounted on the torsion shaft b, which is mounted on the center of the torsion support disk via a bearing, thus reducing torque error caused by friction. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the support rod of the torsion support, and the other end is connected to the torsion arm. The hydraulic cylinder is also connected to the end of the oil passage of the distribution shaft via an oil pipe, thus achieving hydraulic oil circuit connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the standard torque sensor rotor section and the calibrated torque sensor rotor section are connected in series between the torsion shaft a and the torsion shaft b; the torsion shaft b is mounted at the center of the torsion bracket disk b through a bearing, which can reduce the torque error caused by friction.

[0009] Furthermore, the stator mounting bracket system consists of a sensor stator mounting bracket, a gyroscope stabilizer, and a wireless signal transmission and controller. The gyroscope stabilizer and the wireless signal transmission and controller are both mounted on the sensor stator mounting bracket, and the gyroscope stabilizer is connected to the wireless signal transmission and controller. The stator mounting bracket system is mounted on the torsion shaft via bearings, ensuring that when the torsion bracket system, the hydraulic torque loading system, the standard torque sensor rotor, and the calibrated torque sensor rotor rotate under the drive of the electric motor, the stator mounting bracket system will not rotate with the shaft due to gravity.

[0010] Furthermore, a gyro stabilizer is installed on the sensor stator mounting bracket, which ensures that the stator mounting bracket system remains stable when the torsion bracket system, hydraulic torque loading system, standard torque sensor rotor, and calibrated torque sensor rotor rotate, thereby improving the torque sensor speed calibration accuracy.

[0011] Furthermore, the stator power supply system consists of a current collector ring and a carbon brush slip ring system. The external power supply is introduced into the support shaft through the current collector ring and connected to the carbon brush slip ring system on the torsion shaft a. The power is then introduced into the custom mounting bracket system, which is stationary relative to the rotating shaft, through the carbon brush slip ring to complete the power supply to the standard torque sensor, the calibrated torque sensor, the gyroscope stabilization system, the wireless signal transmission, and the controller, all mounted on the stator mounting bracket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0013] This invention converts static oil pressure into torque in a rotating state through an oil distribution shaft and a hydraulic torque loading system. The torque is then converted into internal force through a torsion bracket system, effectively solving the problem of controlling energy-consuming components in torque operation. Simultaneously, by installing a higher-precision standard torque sensor as a comparison benchmark, torque control accuracy is improved. By installing a gyro stabilization system on the stator mounting bracket system, the stability of the stator mounting bracket system during rotation of the torsion bracket system, hydraulic torque loading system, standard torque sensor rotor, and the rotor of the calibrated torque sensor is ensured, improving the speed calibration accuracy of the torque sensor. This provides a platform for dynamic parameter calibration of the torque sensor under rotational conditions. Attached Figure Description

The gyroscope stabilizer 14 and the wireless signal transmission and controller 13 are both mounted on the sensor stator mounting bracket 15, and the gyroscope stabilizer 14 is connected to the wireless signal transmission and controller 13.

[0027] The stator power supply system consists of a current collector ring 12 and a carbon brush slip ring system 10. An external power supply is introduced into the support shaft through the current collector ring 12 and connected to the carbon brush slip ring system 10 at the torsion shaft a20.
