Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to an adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor and a method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model thereof. Background Art
[0002] Bolt connections are widely used in node connections of various structures due to their advantages such as easy operation, reliable force transmission and good economy. High-strength bolts are used in key parts of structures. However, if the bolt preload is set improperly, it will lead to connection failure and affect the overall performance and safety of the structure. Washer-type pressure ring sensor is one of the most commonly used sensing technologies for measuring bolt tightening force. Washer-type pressure sensors mainly measure pressure loads by measuring the circumferential deformation or axial deformation of the sensor measuring unit under external loads. However, in practical applications, there may be uneven contact surfaces or material defects between the sensor and the nut or structure, which may cause the sensor to bear eccentric loads and affect the accuracy of the measurement results. In order to accurately measure the eccentric pressure, multiple strain measurement units need to be set around the sensor. For washer-type pressure ring sensors that measure axial deformation, this increases the size and complexity of the structure itself, which affects the installation of the nut and the overall performance of the structure to a certain extent; and for washer-type pressure ring sensors that measure circumferential deformation, although the structure size is small, the measurement results of such sensors are largely affected by the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the sensor and the structure and the nut, so the measurement accuracy is not high in actual engineering.
[0003] In summary, due to the limitation of the measuring principle, the existing gasket-type pressure ring sensor cannot achieve the ideal engineering application goal of small sensor size, large measuring range, high accuracy and no influence of eccentric load. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of existing gasket-type pressure sensors, such as large volume, limited range, poor measurement accuracy and susceptibility to eccentric loads. An adaptive eccentricity compensation and enhanced sensitivity pressure ring sensor and a loading and unloading measurement model construction method thereof are proposed.
[0005] The present invention is realized by the following technical scheme. The present invention proposes an adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor, the sensor comprising an upper force transmission unit 1, a lower force transmission unit 2, a measuring elastic body unit 3, an upper protective cover plate 4 and a lower protective cover plate 5;
[0006] The upper force transmission unit 1, the lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastic body unit 3 are provided with concentric through holes 11 for bolts to pass through; the lower surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 is an outwardly protruding spherical torus; the upper surface of the lower force transmission unit 2 is an outwardly protruding spherical torus; the upper surface and the lower surface of the measuring elastic body unit 3 each include an inwardly concave spherical torus; these two spherical toruses are in close contact with the lower surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 and the spherical torus on the lower force transmission unit 2 respectively; the upper surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 has two horizontal stepped layers, the outermost layer is in contact with the surface of the nut The upper protective cover plate 4 is bonded to the upper surface of the measuring elastomer unit 3 by epoxy resin, and the middle suspended part of the upper protective cover plate 4 is in contact with the second horizontal step on the upper surface of the upper force transmission unit 1, so as to limit the excessive deflection of the upper force transmission unit 1; the lower surface of the lower force transmission unit 2 has two horizontal stepped layers, and the outermost layer is in contact with the structural surface; the lower protective cover plate 5 is bonded to the lower surface of the measuring elastomer unit 3 by epoxy resin, and the middle suspended part of the lower protective cover plate 5 is in contact with the second horizontal step on the upper surface of the lower force transmission unit 2, so as to limit the excessive deflection of the lower force transmission unit 2.
[0007] Furthermore, a large annular shallow groove 7 is provided in the middle position of the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3, and a small annular shallow groove 8 is provided in the large annular shallow groove 7, and two or more fiber grating strain measurement units 9 are evenly arranged in the small annular shallow groove 8; the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9 is bonded to the small annular shallow groove 8 by glue; and a fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 is provided in the large annular shallow groove 7.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3 is surrounded by an external protective shell 6 and fixed by spot welding at the overlapping part, and the external protective shell 6 is used to protect the fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber Bragg grating temperature measurement unit 10 from being damaged by external forces; after the fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber Bragg grating temperature measurement unit 10 are connected in series with optical fiber, the optical fiber passes through the small hole 12 in the middle of the external protective shell 6 and is connected to the fiber Bragg grating demodulator for measurement.
[0009] Furthermore, a lubricant is added between the spherical contact surfaces of the measuring elastic unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 to reduce the friction coefficient between the measuring unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 .
[0010] Furthermore, when the bolt tightening force transmits the pressure to the sensitive spherical washer type pressure sensor through the structure / nut, the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 transmit the pressure to the measuring elastomer unit 3 through the spherical contact surface between them and the measuring elastomer unit 3, resulting in annular expansion of the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3; the expansion strain is measured by the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9, and after the temperature influence is eliminated by the fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 data, the pressure value of the sensor, i.e., the bolt tightening force, is converted according to the sensitivity coefficient of the pressure ring sensor.
[0011] Furthermore, when the contact surface between the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the nut / structure is uneven or material defects occur, generating eccentric bolt tightening force, the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 will adaptively deflect through the design of the spherical contact structure, automatically adjust and compensate for the angular deviation between the planes, and reduce the influence of eccentricity on the measurement results of the adaptive eccentricity compensation and enhanced sensitivity pressure ring sensor.
[0012] Furthermore, the sensor measurement sensitivity is increased by reducing the diameter of the spherical torus surface in contact with the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastomer unit 3, reducing the annular expansion deformation stiffness of the measuring elastomer unit 3, and reducing the contact friction coefficient between the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastomer unit 3.
[0013] The present invention also proposes a method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model based on the sensor. In the process of increasing or decreasing the bolt tightening force, that is, in the process of loading or unloading the adaptive eccentric compensation sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor, the direction of the friction force between the contact surfaces of the upper force transmission unit 1, the lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastic body unit 3 will change; based on this, it is considered to establish measurement models for the loading and unloading stages respectively to improve the measurement accuracy of the sensor; the method steps include:
[0014] Step 1: Load the sensor step by step to the measuring range at 10KN per level and then unload it step by step. At the same time, use the fiber demodulator to read the grating wavelength offset of the corresponding fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and take the average value;
[0015] Step 2: Normalize the load and wavelength offset average values respectively by dividing by the maximum value of the data;
[0016] Step 3: linearly fit the data of the adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor in the loading stage to obtain a loading measurement model of the sensor;
[0017] Step 4: Perform piecewise linear fitting on the data of the adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor during the unloading process to obtain the unloading measurement model of the sensor.
[0018] The present invention also proposes an electronic device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model based on the sensor are implemented.
[0019] The present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium for storing computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model based on the sensor.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] The adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor in the present application, when the contact surface between the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the nut / structure is uneven or material defects produce eccentric bolt tightening force, the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 will adaptively deflect through the design of the spherical contact structure, automatically adjust and compensate for the angular deviation between the planes, reduce the influence of eccentricity on the measurement results of the adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor, and improve the measurement sensitivity of the sensor under eccentric load; the three-layer structure pressure measurement mechanism inside the sensor can greatly reduce the size of the sensor, and by changing the structural parameters therein, a sensor with a specific sensitivity can be obtained, which is convenient for the application of the sensor in actual engineering; in addition, the measuring elastomer unit 3 inside the sensor does not directly contact the external structure or nut, so the sensor pressure measurement structure will not be affected by the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the sensor and the nut or structure.

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.
[0028] Combination Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention proposes an adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor, the sensor comprising an upper force transmission unit 1, a lower force transmission unit 2, a measuring elastic body unit 3, an upper protective cover plate 4 and a lower protective cover plate 5;

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a large annular shallow groove 7 is provided in the middle position of the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3, and a small annular shallow groove 8 is provided in the large annular shallow groove 7, and two or more fiber grating strain measurement units 9 are evenly arranged in the small annular shallow groove 8; the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9 is bonded to the small annular shallow groove 8 by glue; and a fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 is provided in the large annular shallow groove 7.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3 is surrounded by an external protective shell 6 and fixed by spot welding at the overlapping part. The external protective shell 6 is used to protect the fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber Bragg grating temperature measurement unit 10 from being damaged by external forces. After the fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber Bragg grating temperature measurement unit 10 are connected in series with optical fibers, the optical fibers pass through the small hole 12 in the middle of the external protective shell 6 and are connected to the fiber Bragg grating demodulator for measurement.
[0032] Lubricant is added between the spherical contact surfaces of the measuring elastic unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 to reduce the friction coefficient between the measuring unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2.
[0033] When the bolt tightening force transmits the pressure to the enhanced-sensitivity spherical washer pressure sensor through the structure / nut, the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 transmit the pressure to the measuring elastic body unit 3 through the spherical contact surface between them and the measuring elastic body unit 3, resulting in annular expansion on the outside of the measuring elastic body unit 3; the expansion strain is measured by the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9, and after eliminating the temperature influence using the data of the fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10, the pressure value of the sensor, i.e., the bolt tightening force, is converted according to the sensitivity coefficient of the pressure ring sensor; when the contact surface between the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the nut / structure is uneven or material defects produce eccentric bolt tightening force, through the design of the spherical contact structure, the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 will adaptively deflect, automatically adjust and compensate for the angular deviation between the planes, and reduce the influence of eccentricity on the measurement result of the enhanced-sensitivity spherical washer pressure sensor.

[0035] The present invention also proposes a method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model based on the adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor. In the process of increasing or decreasing the bolt tightening force, that is, in the process of loading or unloading the adaptive eccentric compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor, the direction of the friction force between the contact surfaces of the upper force transmission unit 1, the lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastic body unit 3 will change; based on this, it is considered to establish measurement models for the loading and unloading stages respectively to improve the measurement accuracy of the sensor; the method steps include:
[0036] Step 1: Load the sensor step by step to the measuring range at 10KN per level and then unload it step by step. At the same time, use the fiber demodulator to read the grating wavelength offset of the corresponding fiber Bragg grating strain measurement unit 9 and take the average value;
[0037] Step 2: Normalize the load and wavelength offset average values respectively by dividing by the maximum value of the data;
[0038] Step 3: linearly fit the data of the adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor in the loading stage to obtain a loading measurement model of the sensor;
[0039] Step 4: Perform piecewise linear fitting on the data of the adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity-enhanced pressure ring sensor during the unloading process to obtain the unloading measurement model of the sensor.
[0040] The present invention relates to an adaptive eccentric compensation and enhanced sensitivity type pressure ring sensor and a method for constructing a loading and unloading measurement model thereof. Bolt connection is widely used in node connection of various structures, and high-strength bolts are used in key parts of structures. However, if the bolt preload is improperly set, it will cause connection failure and affect the overall performance and safety of the structure. The washer type pressure sensor is one of the commonly used sensing technologies for bolt tightening force measurement. However, due to the limitation of traditional measurement principles, the existing washer type pressure sensor has many problems such as large volume, limited range, and the measurement result is affected by the eccentric load and the friction between the sensor and the nut / structure. To this end, the present invention proposes an adaptive eccentric compensation and enhanced sensitivity type pressure ring sensor. The sensor adopts a spherical washer type structural design, which can automatically adjust and compensate for the angle deviation between the contact planes and reduce the influence of eccentricity on the measurement results. The established sensor loading and unloading measurement model can monitor the bolt tightening force in real time and accurately. The deformation of the sensor measurement unit is measured by fiber grating, which has the advantages of high precision and good reliability. In addition, the sensor pressure measurement result is also independent of the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the sensor and the nut and the structure, which further improves the measurement accuracy of the sensor in practical applications. The sensitivity-enhanced spherical washer type pressure sensor of the present invention has the advantages of small size, large measuring range, high precision, automatic deviation correction, good reliability and the like.
