Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of force measuring devices and relates to a propeller torque detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] Amphibious robots not only have broad application prospects in military, rescue, environmental protection and other fields, but also play an important role in promoting human scientific and technological progress and expanding living space.

[0003] In order to ensure that the amphibious rescue and exploration robot can successfully complete the exploration mission underwater, the strength of its propeller needs to be strong enough to be suitable for waters in different environments. Therefore, propeller torque testing is required during the production of the amphibious rescue and exploration robot.

[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN108918136A discloses a propeller dynamic tension and torque measurement device, which includes a propeller assembly, a transmission shaft, a first sensor assembly, a transmission mechanism, a second sensor and a power source. The transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the first end of the transmission mechanism after passing through the first sensor assembly. The power source is fixedly connected to the second end of the transmission mechanism through the second sensor. The propeller assembly is fixedly arranged at the end of the transmission shaft away from the transmission mechanism. The first sensor assembly is used to detect the tension and pressure of the propeller in the motion state, the second sensor is used to detect its torque, and the transmission mechanism is used to elastically connect the first sensor assembly and the second sensor and realize coaxial rotation.

[0005] The propeller dynamic tension and torque measuring device can not only measure the dynamic tension and torque generated by the rotation of the propeller, but also reduce the influence of vibration and acceleration of propulsion system components such as motors in vehicle-mounted tests on the measurement results, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. When the propeller dynamic tension and torque measuring device is used for detection, the torque is detected by making the propeller reach different rotation speeds. As the rotation speed increases, the torque of the propeller increases, but the torque of the propeller is nonlinearly proportional to the rotation speed. The rotation speed increases linearly, while the torque increases with decreasing acceleration. In addition, different fluid media have different viscosities, and the resistance generated by fluids of different viscosities is different, and the corresponding torques generated are also different. However, the device cannot detect different torques at the same rotation speed, nor can it detect different rotation speeds at the same torque, and the detection results are not comprehensive enough.

[0052] The first driving end of the driving motor 9 rotates to drive the toothed disc 22 to rotate, and under the action of the meshing teeth 27, the adjusting ring 23 is driven to rotate, and the adjusting ring 23 rotates to drive the adjusting rod 26 to move. Since the rotating rod 25 can drive the shaft rod 24 to rotate but cannot move, as the adjusting rod 26 moves, the adjusting rod 26 will drive one end of the rotating rod 25 to rotate around the shaft rod 24, thereby changing the angle of the adjusting blade 21. When the rotating rod 25 rotates, it will also drive the adjusting rod 26 to rotate in turn. At this time, the angle between the rotating rod 25 and the adjusting rod 26 will change.

[0053] The rotation adjustment method of the adjusting blade 21 of the present invention has the characteristics of high stability, and the rotation angle of each adjusting blade 21 is consistent, and the deflection angles of multiple adjusting blades 21 will not be different due to the misalignment between the toothed disc 22 and the meshing teeth 27. If the deflection angles of some adjusting blades 21 are different, the rotation angle of the natural wind will be affected, and vortices will be easily generated.

[0054] Embodiment three: The technical solution of this embodiment is different from that of the second embodiment in that: Figure 1~Figure 3 , Figure 14~Figure 19 The wind pressure regulating component 7 is fixedly installed with an air inlet 6 on one side away from the air outlet 5, and a wind direction regulating component 35 used in conjunction with the wind pressure regulating component 7 is installed in the air inlet 6; The wind direction adjustment component 35 includes an air guide tube 14 fixedly installed inside the air inlet tube 6, a fixed cone disk 16 is fixedly installed inside the air guide tube 14 through a frame, a plurality of wind direction adjustment plates 15 are fixedly installed on the fixed cone disk 16, and the wind direction adjustment plates 15 rotate in the same direction as the adjustment blades 21 when working. One side of each wind direction adjustment plate 15 is fixedly connected to the fixed cone disk 16, and the other side of the wind direction adjustment plate 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 29. The rotating shaft 29 is penetrated in the fixed cone disk 16 and is rotatably connected to the fixed cone disk 16. The second driving end of the drive motor 9 is connected to the rotating shaft 29 through a second transmission device.

[0055] When the angle of the adjusting blade 21 changes, the impact force between the wind in the air inlet 6 and the adjusting blade 21 will change. In order to reduce the impact force to a minimum, a rotating shaft 29 is designed. The rotating shaft 29 rotates to drive the wind direction adjusting plate 15 to rotate, so that the wind rotates in the air inlet 6. In this way, the wind can rotate in advance before reaching the adjusting blade 21, and the rotation angle is relatively consistent with the angle of the adjusting blade 21, thereby reducing the impact force between the wind and the adjusting blade 21. Since the wind rotates in the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 5, friction will be generated between the inner walls of the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 5, and the friction will reduce the rotation force of the wind. At this time, the wind is continued to be released and rotated by adjusting the blades 21 to improve the stability of the rotating wind.

[0056] By changing the rotation direction of the wind in the air inlet 6 and reducing the angle between the wind in the air inlet 6 and the adjusting blade 21 after entering the wind pressure regulating assembly 7 as much as possible, the impact force between the wind and the adjusting blade 21 can be reduced, thereby reducing the vibration of the adjusting blade 21, and effectively reducing the probability of the wind in the air outlet 5 forming a vortex due to the vibration of the adjusting blade 21, so that the wind in the air outlet 5 can rotate more regularly, thereby improving the stability of detection.

[0057] See also Fig.14The second transmission device includes a shaft body, which is movably arranged on the cone cylinder 8, and the cone cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the air inlet cylinder 6. One end of the shaft body is connected to the rotating shaft 29 through the second bevel gear set 17, and the other end of the shaft body is connected to the second driving end of the driving motor 9 through the first bevel gear set 11.

[0058] As the angle of the adjustment blade 21 changes, the second driving end of the drive motor 9 drives the shaft to rotate through the first bevel gear set 11, and the shaft drives the rotating shaft 29 to rotate through the second bevel gear set 17, thereby driving the wind direction adjustment plate 15 to rotate, causing the wind direction adjustment plate 15 to twist and deform. The wind direction adjustment plate 15 is made of a metal material with a certain toughness. It can not only be twisted, but also has a certain strength to resist the impact of natural wind.

[0059] The gap between the air guide tube 14 and the wind direction adjustment plate 15, and the gap between the air guide tube 14 and the fixed cone disk 16 are greater than the spacing between two adjacent wind direction adjustment plates 15. The purpose of this arrangement is to increase the air flow rate after the natural wind in the air guide tube 14 enters the wind direction adjustment plate 15 due to the reduction in space, thereby increasing the air flow rate and reducing the influence of the friction of the inner wall of the air inlet tube 6 on the rotation of the natural wind; the fixed cone disk 16 adopts a conical design, which can guide the natural wind and effectively reduce vibration.

[0060] A blower assembly 10 is installed on one side of the air inlet cylinder 6 away from the wind pressure regulating assembly 7; the blower assembly 10 includes a blower cover 30 fixedly installed on the cone cylinder 8, a blower fan blade 31 is rotatably installed inside the blower cover 30, and a blower motor 32 is fixedly installed outside the blower cover 30, and the driving end of the blower motor 32 is connected to the input end of the blower fan blade 31, and the rotation of the driving end of the blower motor 32 drives the blower fan blade 31 to rotate, so that the outside air is blown into the air inlet cylinder 6 through the blower cover 30; Since the fan blades 31 also rotate, the natural wind blown into the air inlet tube 6 will also rotate to a certain extent, and the rotation direction is consistent with the rotation direction of the wind direction adjustment component 35 and the wind pressure adjustment component 7. At this time, the cone tube 8 is designed to expand the flow path of the natural wind, thereby reducing the flow rate of the natural wind, and increasing the influence of the friction of the inner wall of the cone tube 8 on the rotation of the natural wind, thereby reducing the rotation intensity of the natural wind in the cone tube 8, which is convenient for adjusting the wind direction of the natural wind in the later stage.

[0061] Based on the above structure, the specific operation steps of the present invention are as follows: First, the propeller 12 is connected to the torque sensor 13, and then the torque sensor 13 is installed on the driving end of the speed regulating component. Then, the detection motor 2 is started, and the driving end of the detection motor 2 drives the torque sensor 13 and the propeller 12 to rotate through the speed regulating component; During the torque detection process, since the propeller 12 rotates at a constant speed, the resistance and torque of the propeller 12 are constant. As the speed increases, the resistance increases, and thus the torque increases. However, the torque increases in a gradually decreasing manner. In order to keep the torque constant, the resistance needs to be changed. The outside wind is blown into the air inlet 6 by the air blowing assembly 10, and then the wind direction in the air duct 34 is changed by the wind pressure regulating assembly 7, so that the wind rotates in the air outlet duct 5, and the direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of rotation of the propeller 12, so that the direction of the impact force between the rotating wind and the propeller 12 changes. When the size of the natural wind is fixed, the size of the impact force is fixed, and the angle of the impact force changes, and the resistance of the propeller 12 is the component force of the impact force, the resistance on the propeller 12 will change with the change of the impact force angle; When natural wind blows on the wind pressure regulating component 7, it will cause the wind pressure regulating component 7 to vibrate. In order to reduce the vibration, the natural wind in the air inlet tube 6 is rotated through the wind direction adjusting component 35, and the direction of rotation is consistent with the direction of rotation of the wind after adjustment by the wind pressure regulating component 7. In this way, the natural wind can rotate into the wind pressure regulating component 7, which can reduce the impact force between the wind and the wind pressure regulating component 7, thereby reducing the vibration.

[0062] Based on the above structure, the present invention also discloses a propeller torque detection method, see Fig. 20 , including the following steps: S1. Start the speed regulating unit 33, and adjust the speed of the propeller 12 by the speed regulating unit 33, so as to realize the detection of the propeller 12 under different speed conditions; S2. Start the blower assembly 10, and adjust the air flow rate in the air cylinder 34 by the blower assembly 10, so as to adjust the air flow rate; S3. Start the wind direction adjustment component 35, and preliminarily adjust the rotation direction of the air in the wind tube 34 through the wind direction adjustment component 35, which is conducive to reducing the impact of the air on the wind pressure adjustment component 7, and is conducive to ensuring the stability of the rotating air in the wind tube 34; S4. Start the wind pressure regulating assembly 7, and further adjust the rotation direction of the air in the wind tube 34 through the wind pressure regulating assembly 7, change the angle of the impact force on the propeller 12, and thus change the torque on the propeller 12; S5. The torque applied to the propeller 12 is collected through the torque sensor 13 .

[0063] By repeating the above steps, the detection of different torques of the propeller 12 at the same rotation speed and the detection of different rotation speeds at the same torque can be realized, and the detection results are comprehensive and accurate.
