Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a self-adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity enhancement type pressure ring sensor and a loading and unloading measurement model construction method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bolt connection is widely used in the node connection of various structures due to its advantages of simple operation, reliable force transmission and good economy, and high-strength bolts are used in the key parts of the structure. However, if the bolt pre-tightening force is not properly set, it will lead to connection failure and affect the overall performance and safety of the structure. The gasket type pressure ring sensor is one of the most commonly used sensing technologies for measuring bolt tightening force. The gasket type pressure sensor mainly measures the ring deformation or axial deformation of the sensor measuring unit under external load to realize the measurement of pressure load. However, in actual application, there may be uneven contact surface or material defects between the sensor and the nut or structure, which will cause the sensor to bear eccentric load and affect the accuracy of the measurement result. In order to accurately measure the eccentric pressure, multiple strain measuring units need to be arranged around the sensor. For the gasket type pressure ring sensor measuring axial deformation, this increases the size and complexity of the structure, which affects the installation of the nut and the overall performance of the structure to some extent. For the gasket type pressure ring sensor measuring ring deformation, although the structure size is small, the measurement result of this type of sensor is greatly 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, the existing gasket type pressure ring sensor cannot achieve the ideal goal of small size, large range, high precision and no influence of eccentric load due to the limitation of the measurement principle. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to solve the problems of large size, limited range, poor measurement accuracy and easy influence of eccentric load of the existing gasket type pressure sensor, and proposes a self-adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity enhancement type pressure ring sensor and a loading and unloading measurement model construction method thereof.

[0009] Further, a lubricant is added between the spherical contact surfaces of the measuring elastic body unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2, which is used to reduce the friction coefficient between the measuring unit 3 and the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] In combination Figures 1-3 , the present application proposes a self-adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity enhancement type pressure ring sensor, which comprises 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.

[0029] 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 through which the bolt passes; the lower surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 is an outwardly protruding spherical circular surface; the upper surface of the lower force transmission unit 2 is an outwardly protruding spherical circular surface; the upper surface and the lower surface of the measuring elastic body unit 3 each contain an inwardly recessed spherical circular surface; the two spherical circular surfaces are in close contact with the spherical circular surfaces on the lower surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 and the upper surface of the lower force transmission unit 2, respectively; the upper surface of the upper force transmission unit 1 has two horizontal stepped layers, and 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 elastic body unit 3 by epoxy resin, and the suspended part in the middle of the upper protective cover plate 4 is in contact with the second horizontal step of the upper surface of the upper force transmission unit 1, which is used 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 surface of the structure; the lower protective cover plate 5 is bonded to the lower surface of the measuring elastic body unit 3 by epoxy resin, and the suspended part in the middle of the lower protective cover plate 5 is in contact with the second horizontal step of the upper surface of the lower force transmission unit 2, which is used to limit the excessive deflection of the lower force transmission unit 2.

[0030] As Figure 2 shown, a large annular shallow groove 7 is arranged at the middle position of the outer side of the measuring elastic body unit 3, and a small annular shallow groove 8 is further arranged in the large annular shallow groove 7; two or more fiber grating strain measurement units 9 are uniformly 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; a fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 is arranged in the large annular shallow groove 7.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3 is surrounded by an external protective shell 6 and is fixed by spot welding at the overlapping part, and the external protective shell 6 is used to protect the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 from external force damage; after the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9 and the fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10 are connected in series, the fiber is pulled out from the small hole 12 in the middle of the external protective shell 6, and the fiber is connected to the fiber grating demodulator for measurement.

[0032] The measuring elastomer unit 3 and the spherical contact surface between the upper force transmission unit 1 and the lower force transmission unit 2 are added with a lubricant, which is used 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 fastening force is transmitted to the sensitized spherical gasket 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, causing the outer side of the measuring elastomer unit 3 to expand in a ring shape; the expansion strain is measured by the fiber grating strain measurement unit 9, and after the temperature influence is removed by using the data of the fiber grating temperature measurement unit 10, the pressure value received by the sensor, i.e. the bolt fastening force, is converted according to the sensitivity coefficient of the pressure ring sensor; when the upper force transmission unit 1 / lower force transmission unit 2 and the nut / structure contact surface are uneven or the bolt fastening force is eccentric due to material defects, 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 the angular deviation between the planes, and reduce the influence of eccentricity on the measurement result of the sensitized spherical gasket type pressure sensor.

[0035] The present application also proposes a construction method of a loading and unloading measurement model based on the self-adaptive eccentric compensation sensitized pressure ring sensor, in which the friction direction between the contact surfaces of the upper force transmission unit 1, the lower force transmission unit 2 and the measuring elastomer unit 3 will change during the increase or decrease of the bolt fastening force, i.e. during the loading or unloading process of the self-adaptive eccentric compensation sensitized pressure ring sensor; based on this, the measurement model is established for the loading and unloading stages respectively, so as to improve the measurement accuracy of the sensor; the method steps include:

[0037] Step two, the load and the average value of the wavelength offset are normalized respectively, and the normalization method is divided by the maximum value of the data;

[0038] Step three, the data of the self-adaptive eccentricity compensation and sensitivity enhancement type pressure ring sensor in the loading stage are linearly fitted to obtain the loading measurement model of the sensor;

However, if the bolt pre-tightening force is improperly set, the connection failure will affect the overall performance and safety of the structure.

The established sensor loading and unloading measurement model can accurately monitor the bolt fastening force in real time. The sensor measurement unit deformation adopts fiber grating measurement, and has the advantages of high precision and good reliability. In addition, the sensor pressure measurement result is irrelevant to the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the sensor and the nut and the structure, and the measurement accuracy of the sensor in actual application is further improved.
