[0040] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0041] The calibration device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a calibration device, which includes a bracket 1, an adjustment component 2, a stretching component 3 and a measuring component. The adjustment component 2 is installed at the top of the bracket 1, and the adjustment component 2 includes an adjustment body 21 and an adjustment member 22 installed below the adjustment body 21. Two support parts 23 are respectively provided at the positions near the two ends above the adjustment body 21, and a plug hole 231 for the object to be measured 100 to pass through is formed on the support part 23. The stretching component 3 includes two stretching members 31 extending vertically and arranged at intervals. The top ends of the two stretching members 31 form a hanging hole 315 for the object to be measured 100 to pass through, and the bottom ends are connected by a connecting member 32. The adjustment member 22 abuts against the connecting member 32 and can apply a downward tensile force to the connecting member 32. The plug hole 231 and the hanging hole 315 are both circular structures adapted to the shape of the object to be measured 100. The measuring component includes a sensor 41 arranged on the object to be measured 100 and used for bending moment calibration measurement. In this embodiment, a cylindrical object to be measured 100 is used as a bending moment calibration object, such as a cylindrical drill string. Figure 2 The up and down directions in the horizontal direction are Figure 2 The left and right direction in .

[0043] In the present embodiment, a plug-in hole 231 is formed on the support portion 23 for the object to be measured 100 to pass through, and a hanging hole 315 is formed on the top of each of the two stretching members 31 for the object to be measured 100 to pass through. Both the plug-in hole 231 and the hanging hole 315 are circular structures that match the shape of the object to be measured 100. When plugged in, the tubular object to be measured passes through the plug-in hole 231 and the hanging hole 315 in turn, thereby improving the coordination effect between the calibration device and the object to be measured 100, avoiding the stress concentration problem commonly seen in the square-structured calibration device in the prior art, and effectively reducing the measurement error of the calibration device. When the calibration device is used to calibrate the bending moment of the object 100, the adjusting member 22 abuts against the connecting member 32 and continuously applies a downward force to the connecting member 32, and the bottom ends of the two tensile members 31 are subjected to the downward pressure and move downward. Furthermore, the downward pressure will act on the object 100 through the top of the tensile member 31 and cause the object 100 to deform. The sensor 41 arranged on the object 100 can accurately obtain the deformation information of the object 100. Compared with the calibration device of the square structure in the prior art for calibrating the circular tube, the calibration device of this embodiment has a better matching effect with the object 100 and a higher measurement accuracy. Among them, the stress concentration problem refers to the fact that the object 100 has been deformed by the pressure before the bending moment calibration measurement is performed on the object 100, resulting in a decrease in the measurement accuracy of the object 100.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in the present embodiment, the stretching member 31 includes a positioning rod 311, a first positioning joint 312 threadedly connected to the top end of the positioning rod 311, and a second positioning joint 313 threadedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning rod 311. The first positioning joint 312 and the second positioning joint 313 are both provided with threaded connection holes with internal threads. The positioning rod 311 is provided with external threads matching the internal threads at both ends along the length direction. The threaded connection arrangement of the first positioning joint 312 and the second positioning joint 313 ensures that the stretching member 31 can be easily assembled, and the first positioning joint 312 matching the object to be tested 100 can be replaced according to actual needs. The hanging hole 315 is opened on the first positioning joint 312, and the object to be measured 100 passes through the plug hole 231 and the hanging hole 315 in sequence, and ensures that the sensor 41 is between the two first positioning joints 312 and the distance between the first positioning joints 312 on the left and right sides of the sensor 41 is equal, thereby ensuring that the sensor 41 can sensitively monitor the bending moment changes of the object to be measured 100 and perform bending moment calibration measurements, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the calibration device in performing bending moment calibration measurements.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting groove 314 is formed on the second positioning joint 313, and the stretching member 31 also includes a hanging member 33, one end of the hanging member 33 is inserted into the mounting groove 314 and is detachably connected to the inner side wall of the mounting groove 314, and the other end is detachably connected to the connecting member 32. Among them, a locking rod is also provided on the second positioning joint 313, and the locking rod is inserted into the second positioning joint 313 in the horizontal direction and penetrates the hanging member 33, so that the hanging member 33 can be detachably connected to the second positioning joint 313 through the locking rod, which can effectively improve the force strength of the second positioning joint 313, disperse the pressure on the second positioning joint 313, and reduce the damage to the second positioning joint 313 caused by the downward pressure, and the detachable setting of the hanging member 33 also facilitates the convenient replacement of the hanging member 33 after it is damaged and deformed. Similarly, one end of the hanging member 33 that is detachably connected to the connecting member 32 is also locked by the locking rod, and the locking rod can adopt a pin shaft in the prior art.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 232 is provided at the bottom end of the support portion 23, and a limiting groove 211 is formed on one side of the adjustment body 21 facing the support portion 23, and the limiting protrusion 232 extends into the limiting groove 211 to limit the adjustment body 21 and the support portion 23. The support portion 23 is an L-structure, and a plug-in hole 231 is formed at the top end of the support portion 23 for the object to be tested 100 to pass through, and a contact surface that contacts the adjustment body 21 is formed at the bottom end, and a limiting protrusion 232 is formed on one side of the contact surface facing the adjustment body 21, and the limiting groove 211 is gradually narrowed from the bottom of the groove to the top. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 232 and the limiting groove 211, the limiting connection between the adjustment body 21 and the support portion 23 can be efficiently achieved, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the support portion 23. Furthermore, a limiting portion is provided on the left side of the limiting groove 211 at the left end of the adjusting body 21, and a limiting portion is also provided on the right side of the limiting groove 211 at the right end of the adjusting body 21. The limiting portion can play a role in blocking the limiting protrusion 232, so that the limiting groove 211 is only formed with a single-side opening for the limiting protrusion 232 to extend into, thereby preventing the limiting protrusion 232 from sliding out of the limiting groove 211. When facing objects 100 of different sizes to be measured, the support portion 23 with a plug-in hole 231 matching the size of the object 100 to be measured can be replaced, thereby enhancing the versatility and practicality of the calibration device. It should be noted that an avoidance groove extending in the front-to-back direction is also provided above the adjusting body 21, and the single-side opening of the limiting groove 211 faces the avoidance groove, and the groove width of the avoidance groove is greater than the width of the limiting protrusion 232, so that the limiting protrusion 232 can pass smoothly. During the assembly of the support part 23 and the adjusting body 21, the limiting protrusion 232 is placed in the avoidance groove. After the single-sided opening of the limiting groove 211 is aligned with the limiting protrusion 232, the assembly can be easily completed by extending it into the limiting groove 211, thereby realizing convenient assembly between the support part 23 and the adjusting body 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the central axes of the two hanging holes 315 and the two plug holes 231 are all located on the same horizontal line, ensuring that the object to be tested 100 can always maintain an aligned state when the calibration device has not applied a force to the object to be tested 100, thereby avoiding the object to be tested 100 being bent under pressure after passing through the plug holes 231 and the hanging holes 315 in sequence due to deviation of the central axis.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the measuring component also includes a dynamometer 42 that is communicatively connected to the sensor 41. The dynamometer 42 is used to receive the sensing signal sent by the sensor 41 to convert the sensing signal into force information and display it for easy viewing by the staff. Among them, the dynamometer 42 in this embodiment is arranged on the adjustment body 21, and the position of the dynamometer 42 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and it only needs to ensure that the dynamometer 42 can clearly display the force information.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 2 also includes an adjustment handle 24 connected to the front of the adjustment body 21, and the adjustment handle 24 is engaged with the adjustment member 22 through gear matching, and can drive the adjustment member 22 to perform telescopic movement in the height direction by rotating the adjustment handle 24. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the adjustment member 22 can be set as a telescopic cylinder.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the sensor 41 is arranged in the middle of the object to be tested 100, and the number of sensors 41 is multiple and arranged at intervals along the inner wall of the object to be tested 100. It should be noted that the sensor 41 can be a resistive strain gauge, and multiple resistive strain gauges are arranged at intervals along the inner wall of the object to be tested 100 to form a Wheatstone bridge. The voltage change at the sensor 41 is monitored by the force gauge 42 and the voltage change is converted into force information for display, which can further accurately monitor the force condition of the object to be tested 100 and improve the accuracy of the bending moment calibration of the object to be tested 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, the calibration device also includes a horizontal inclinometer, which is arranged parallel to the object to be tested 100 and is used to monitor the bending degree of the object to be tested 100 during the stretching process, obtain the bending angle of the object to be tested 100, and compare and verify the bending moment value of the object to be tested 100 with the bending angle, so as to comprehensively obtain a more accurate bending moment value of the object to be tested 100.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 1 includes a pulley 11, a mounting platform 12 and two support rods 13 arranged at intervals. The top ends of the two support rods 13 are connected to the adjustment body 21, and the bottom ends of the two support rods 13 are connected to the mounting platform 12. The mounting platform 12 is a plate-like structure and extends in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, four pulleys 11 are installed on the side of the mounting platform 12 away from the support rods 13. The four pulleys 11 are arranged corresponding to the four corners of the mounting platform 12 respectively, ensuring that the bracket 1 has good support stability as a whole. At the same time, the setting of the pulley 11 enables the bracket 1 to slide on the ground, and the calibration device can be easily moved to different positions, so as to better cooperate with the object to be measured 100 for bending moment calibration. Among them, the pulley 11 is a pulley, and the number of pulleys 11 is not limited to four. The number of pulleys 11 arranged below the mounting platform 12 can be changed according to actual needs.
