Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of micro-variable sensors, and in particular to an attached micro-variable sensor. Background Art

[0002] At present, some large equipment or large structures use micro-strain measurement methods because sensors cannot be directly installed. The deformation of the equipment or structural parts is determined by collecting the strain changes on the metal surface.

[0003] There are two common micro-strain measurement solutions on the market: The first method is to polish and grind the surface of the equipment or metal structure, directly apply glue on the polished surface and stick the resistance strain gauge, and after the glue dries, use a half-bridge or quarter-bridge collector to collect the strain signal of the strain; however, this method has three disadvantages: 1. It requires a large range of patches, usually dozens to hundreds of strain points, all of which need to be pasted with resistance strain gauges. The price of each domestic resistance strain gauge ranges from several hundred yuan, and the price of each imported resistance strain gauge is thousands of yuan, which is too costly; 2. The strain gauge is a consumable and cannot be disassembled after the glue dries, and cannot be placed in other locations or equipment for reuse; 3. In the absence of special protection for the surface patch, the strain gauge is susceptible to various influences, resulting in data deviation and easy damage; The second method is to combine the strain gauge with non-standard metal parts to make a micro-strain sensor, and fix the micro-strain sensor to the equipment or structural parts tightly by punching or welding. It is also necessary to collect the strain signal through a half-bridge, quarter-bridge or full-bridge collector. This method also has the following disadvantages: 1. The installation is cumbersome and has high requirements for installation conditions; 2. It is difficult to disassemble and reuse.
