[0012] Preferably, the threaded assembly includes a screw rod fixedly connected to a bottom side of a pulley, the outer wall of the screw rod is threadedly connected to a screw sleeve, the screw sleeve is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve, and the force sensor is installed on the bottom side of the screw sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the transmission assembly 2 includes a plurality of pulleys 3 connected by belts, wherein one pulley 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the rotating rod, and the remaining pulleys 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom sides of a plurality of gears.

[0021] Working principle: Before conducting a tension test on the tension membrane, first prepare a tension membrane sample with a size that matches the surface area of ​​the top side of the frame, then press the buckle to disengage the buckle from the card sleeve to unfold the fixing clamp, and place the four corners of the sample between the two unfolded fixing clamps, and close the two fixing clamps to deform the buckle and insert it into the card sleeve, and engage it through elastic reset, so that the two anti-slip pads clamp the four corners of the sample and provide sufficient friction to prevent the sample from falling out from between the two fixing clamps, then rotate the rotating bolt to rotate the pulley one, and the rotating pulley one drives the screw on the bottom side to rotate, and the belt drives the pulley two to rotate, the screw drive thread transmission and force transmission The screw sleeve connected to the sensor moves downward and gradually approaches the sample. The rotating rotating rod drives the pulley three connected to it to rotate, and transmits the other pulley three connected to the gear through the belt, so that the gear meshes with the teeth to drive the transmission frame, so that the multiple fixing clamps connected to the transmission frame are offset to the periphery with the center of the frame as the center point to pull the four corners of the sample to tighten and flatten the sample. Since the specification of the transmission pulley one is smaller than that of the pulley two, after the pulley one rotates several circles, the pulley two only rotates a certain angle, so that after the sample is flattened, the driven screw sleeve brings the force sensor into contact with the surface of the sample to squeeze the center of the sample downward to cause it to deform, and the force sensor collects the deformation data of the sample.

There is no large-scale driving structure. At the same time, the device adopts a manual method for collection, and the contact force of the tensioned film can be quickly adjusted according to the needs of the tester, which greatly improves the convenience of the device as a whole.

[0024] 2. The present invention can simultaneously tighten and flatten the sample to improve the detection accuracy while performing detection, thereby improving the detection efficiency, through the mutual cooperation of the transmission component 1, the transmission component 2, the meshing component, the fixing clamp, and the anti-slip pad.

[0025] 3.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Example:

[0037] As one aspect of this application, please see the attached Figure 1 - Attachment Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a novel tensile membrane structure membrane surface tension tester, comprising:

[0038] The frame 1 has a transmission frame 12 slidably connected to the four corners of the top side of the frame 1, and the gears 11 and teeth are meshed with each other, and the teeth are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing clip 13, and the gear 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the frame 1, and two fixing clips 13 are arranged on the inner periphery of the transmission frame 12, and the bottom fixing clip 13 is fixedly connected to the transmission frame 12, and one end of the two fixing clips 13 is connected by rotation, and is respectively fixedly connected to two buckles 15 on both sides of the other end of the top fixing clip 13, and the other end of the bottom fixing clip 13 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the clamping sleeve 16, and the buckle 15 is clamped and connected to the inside of the clamping sleeve 16, and the adjacent side of the two fixing clips 13 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip pad 14;

[0039] Specifically, the overall volume of the test instrument is small, and it is a size that can be held in both hands, so it is easy to carry the equipment. There is no large driving structure. At the same time, the equipment uses manual collection, and the contact strength of the tensioned film can be quickly adjusted according to the needs of the tester, which greatly improves the convenience of the equipment as a whole. The surface of the anti-skid pad 14 is provided with wavy anti-skid patterns, and the body of the anti-skid pad 14 is composed of relatively expanded rubber. It has elasticity, which can make the two fixed clamps 13 connected to it close together.

The rotating bolt 3 is provided with an extended force-applying part, so as to facilitate the rotation of the rotating bolt 3 to start the equipment for the detection of the tensioned film. The specification of the transmission pulley 1 7 is smaller than that of the pulley 2 8, so that after the pulley 1 7 rotates multiple times, the pulley 2 8 only rotates through a certain angle, so as to avoid excessive rotation of the pulley 3 10 of the rotating rod 9 caused by the driven pulley 2 8 when the pulley 1 7 rotates too many times, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission gear 11 and avoiding excessive transmission of the connecting teeth of the gear 11.

The data viewing unit 21 in the storage module 20 is connected to the display screen of the tension test data collector 6, so that the staff can see the collected data. The historical data storage unit 22 can also store and release historical data, so that the new data can be compared with the historical data to judge the quality of the tensile membrane products produced in this batch.

[0044] Based on the above provided new type of tensile membrane structure membrane surface tension tester, please refer to the attached Figure 6 - Attachment Figure 8 As another aspect of the present invention, this embodiment provides a novel method for testing the membrane surface tension of a tensile membrane structure, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step three, collect tension test data. The data collected by the force sensor 5 is transmitted to the tension test data collector 6 through the data line, and the tension test data collector 6 performs data collection and processing. The processing flow is that the data collected by the force sensor 5 is recorded 8 times by the data acquisition module 17 at an interval of 0.5s, and the data is written into the data statistics module 18. The data statistics module 18 arranges the recorded values ​​according to the value size, and deletes the largest and smallest data.
