Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention can be applied in the field of high-precision mass measurement technology, and specifically is a three-dimensional measurement device for the centroid position of an object. Background Art
[0002] In the field of mass metrology, the mass characteristic parameters of an object, including mass, center of mass, moment of inertia, etc., are all physical parameters that describe its dynamic performance. Among them, center of mass measurement is a method to calculate the center position of the mass distribution of an object or system. It is widely used in aerospace, military industry, transportation, precision instruments and other fields. However, it is difficult to quickly and accurately measure the center of mass position of an object, so it is necessary to establish a standard center of mass measurement device and method for value traceability.
[0003] At present, the center of mass measurement mainly adopts the multi-point support weighing method. Among them, the bilateral center of mass measurement method based on the weighing bridge only needs one sensor, but there is a gap between the measured object and the weighing bridge and the center of mass height can only be obtained in one direction. Although the three-point support center of mass measurement method can obtain the three-dimensional center of mass position of the object, it requires at least three weighing sensors.
[0004] The multi-point support weighing method is mainly based on establishing a static moment balance equation to calculate the center of mass position of the object, and its measurement accuracy is mainly determined by the coordinate position accuracy and the weighing sensor accuracy. For large-mass heterogeneous objects, a large-range weighing sensor will be selected to meet the measurement requirements, but the accuracy of the large-range weighing sensor is generally not high and there are also measurement errors in the positions of the object and each support point. Therefore, the overall center of mass measurement accuracy of the object is low and cannot meet the measurement accuracy requirements in the field of high-precision mass measurement technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of measurement accuracy and measurement position error, the present invention provides a three-dimensional measurement device and method for the center of mass position of an object based on the multi-point support weighing method.

It has a total length of 220mm, a total length of the upper base of 60mm, and a total length of the lower base of 320mm. It is made of 304 stainless steel. The load-bearing platform is an isosceles V-groove trapezoidal platform, which can be used to place heterogeneous objects such as spheres and prevent the objects being measured from falling.
