Currently, conventional tensile force measurement devices are mainly divided into electronic tensile force measurement devices and pointer tensile force measurement devices. However, pointer tensile force measurement devices have a small range, low sensitivity, low accuracy, low strength, and a short service life, while electronic tensile force measurement devices have a more complex structure, more internal components, higher manufacturing process requirements, greater weight, higher cost, non-adjustable measurement range, inconvenient to carry, and are difficult to meet the increasingly developing tensile force measurement needs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tensile force measurement device based on an elastic ring structure, which has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can improve the accuracy and reliability of tensile force measurement.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a tensile force measurement device based on an elastic ring structure, characterized in that it includes a housing, four elastic ring structures, a cover plate, a hook, a distance measuring sensor, and a control device. The four elastic ring structures are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the housing, and the bottoms of the four elastic ring structures are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing. The elastic ring structure can change the height of its static configuration under the action of tensile force, and corresponds to different static configuration heights under different tensile forces. The cover plate is fixedly connected to the tops of the four elastic ring structures and is embedded in the housing. The hook is fixedly connected to the upper part of the cover plate so that the four elastic ring structures are evenly stressed when subjected to tensile force, and thus their heights change uniformly. The distance measuring sensor is installed under the cover plate, and its detection direction is downward to measure the change in the height of the elastic ring structure. The distance measuring sensor is electrically connected to the control device on the housing to send the distance measurement data to the control device. The control device calculates the magnitude of the applied tensile force according to the function relationship curve between the applied tensile force and the height of the elastic ring structure.
[0005] Further, the function relationship curve between the applied tensile force and the height of the elastic ring structure is obtained by calculating the equilibrium equation of the static configuration of the elastic ring structure;
[0006] The elastic ring structure deforms under the action of vertical tensile force. At this time, a coordinate system is established, and the lower end point of the elastic ring structure form is set as the origin s0 of the natural coordinate. The elastic ring structure form is symmetric about the y-axis, and the total length is The following differential equations are established:
[0007] x′(s) = cosθ(s), y′(s) = sinθ(s)
[0008] Kθ″(s) - T x sinθ(s) + T y cosθ(s) = 0
[0009] where K is the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure, s represents the natural coordinate arc length of the elastic ring structure form, the starting point of the natural coordinate is s0, x and y are the Cartesian coordinates of any point on the elastic ring structure form, T x and T y are the internal forces in the x - direction and y - direction of the elastic ring structure form respectively, T x is a constant, T y = F / 4, and F is the pulling force applied to the hook;
[0010] The differential equation system is combined with the continuity conditions: (θ, θ', x, y) is continuous along the elastic ring structure, and the boundary conditions: θ(0) = 0, y(0) = 0, x(0) = 0, that is, the equilibrium configuration of the elastic ring structure under different pulling forces is solved;
[0011] According to the equilibrium equation of the static configuration of the elastic ring structure, the height of the elastic ring structure is related to the pulling force applied to the hook and the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure; obtaining the functional relationship between the pulling force applied to the hook and the height of the elastic ring structure, the pulling force applied to the hook can be indirectly measured by measuring the height of the elastic ring structure.
[0012] Furthermore, on the condition of keeping the bending stiffness of a single elastic ring structure unchanged, continuously changing the applied pulling force, fitting the functional relationship curve between the height of a single elastic ring structure and the pulling force it receives, the height of a single elastic ring structure has a linear relationship with the pulling force it receives, thus obtaining the functional relationship between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied pulling force:
[0013] y = kx + b
[0014] where y is the height of the elastic ring structure, k is determined by the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure, different bending stiffnesses correspond to different k values, x is the pulling force applied to the hook, and b is the initial height of the elastic ring structure when no pulling force is applied.
[0015] Furthermore, by changing the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure to change the k value, thereby changing the functional relationship between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied pulling force, and further realizing the adjustment of the measurement range of the pulling force measuring device.
[0016] Further, the cover plate is a square cover plate, the center of the square cover plate coincides with the symmetry center of the four elastic ring structures, and the distance measuring sensor is installed at the center position of the square cover plate.
[0017] Further, a groove is provided at the center of the lower part of the square cover plate, and the distance measuring sensor is installed in the groove of the square cover plate by means of magnetic adsorption; a threaded hole is provided at the center of the upper part of the square cover plate, and the hook is screwed into the threaded hole through the thread at one end.

[0030] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, this embodiment provides a tensile force measuring device based on an elastic ring structure, including a housing 9, four elastic ring structures (a first elastic ring structure 3, a second elastic ring structure 4, a third elastic ring structure 5, and a fourth elastic ring structure 6), a cover plate 2, a hook 1, a ranging sensor 7, and a control device. The four elastic ring structures 3, 4, 5, and 6 are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the housing 9, and the bottoms of the four elastic ring structures 3, 4, 5, and 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing 9. The elastic ring structure can change the height of its static configuration under the action of tensile force, and corresponds to different static configuration heights under different tensile forces. The cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the tops of the four elastic ring structures 3, 4, 5, and 6 (as Figure 3 shown) and is embedded in the housing 9. The hook 1 for applying tensile force is fixedly connected to the upper part of the cover plate 2 so that the four elastic ring structures are uniformly stressed when subjected to tensile force, and thus their height changes are consistent. The ranging sensor 7 is installed below the cover plate 2, and its detection direction is downward to measure the change in the height of the elastic ring structure. The ranging sensor 7 is electrically connected to the control device on the housing 9 to send ranging data to the control device. The control device calculates the magnitude of the applied tensile force according to the function relationship curve between the applied tensile force and the height of the elastic ring structure.
[0031] In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is a square cover plate, the center of the square cover plate coincides with the symmetry center of the four elastic ring structures 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the ranging sensor 7 is installed at the center position of the square cover plate.
[0032] In this embodiment, a groove is provided at the center of the lower part of the square cover plate 2, and the distance measuring sensor 7 is installed in the groove of the square cover plate 2 by means of magnetic adsorption. A threaded hole is provided at the center of the upper part of the square cover plate 2, and the hook 1 is screwed into the threaded hole through the thread at one end.
[0033] In this embodiment, the control device includes a display screen 8, and the display screen 8 is embedded on one side surface of the housing 9. The control device displays the calculated pulling force on the display screen.
[0034] In this embodiment, the function relationship curve between the applied pulling force and the height of the elastic ring structure is calculated through the equilibrium equation of the static configuration of the elastic ring structure.
[0035] As Figure 4 shown, the elastic ring structure deforms into a shape similar to an ellipse under the action of a vertical pulling force. At this time, a coordinate system is established, and the lower end point of the elastic ring structure is set as the origin s0 (s = 0) of the natural coordinate. The elastic ring structure is symmetric about the y-axis, and the total length is The following differential equations are established:
[0036] x'(s) = cosθ(s), y′(s) = sinθ(s)
[0037] Kθ″(s) - T x sinθ(s) + T y cosθ(s) = 0
[0038] where K is the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure, s represents the natural coordinate arc length of the elastic ring structure (the starting point of the natural coordinate is s0), x and y are the Cartesian coordinates of any point on the elastic ring structure, T x and T y are the internal forces in the x direction and y direction of the elastic ring structure, T x is a constant, T y = F / 4, and F is the pulling force applied to the hook.
[0039] Combined with the continuity conditions of the above differential equations: (θ, θ', x, y) is continuous along the elastic ring structure, and the boundary conditions: θ(0) = 0, y(0) = 0, x(0) = 0, the equilibrium configuration of the elastic ring structure under different pulling forces can be solved.
[0040] According to the equilibrium equation of the static configuration of the elastic ring structure, the height of the elastic ring structure is related to the pulling force applied to the hook and the bending stiffness of the elastic ring structure; by obtaining the function relationship between the pulling force applied to the hook and the height of the elastic ring structure, the pulling force applied to the hook can be indirectly measured by measuring the height of the elastic ring structure.
[0041] In this embodiment, the side length of the square cover plate is 0.06 m. The radii of the four elastic ring frames are 0.026 m, the thickness is 0.000381 m, the width is 0.008 m, the length is 0.163 m, the elastic modulus is 3.91e+10, and the flexural rigidity is 0.0014.
[0042] While keeping the flexural rigidity of a single elastic ring structure unchanged, the applied tensile force is continuously changed, and the function relationship curve between the height of a single elastic ring structure and the applied tensile force is fitted, as Figure 5 shown. It can be found from the fitted function relationship curve that the height of a single elastic ring structure is linearly related to the applied tensile force. Further transformation can obtain the function relationship curve between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied tensile force, as Figure 6 shown. The function relationship between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied tensile force is:
[0043] y = kx + b
[0044] where y is the height of the elastic ring structure, k is determined by the flexural rigidity of the elastic ring structure, and different flexural rigidities correspond to different k values, x is the tensile force applied to the hook, and b is the initial height of the elastic ring structure when no tensile force is applied.
[0045] In this embodiment, the function relationship between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied tensile force is:
[0046] y = 0.0225x + 5.1257
[0047] where k = 0.0225 and b = 5.1257, that is, the initial height of the elastic ring structure when no tensile force is applied is 5.1257 cm.
[0048] By changing the flexural rigidity of the elastic ring structure to change the k value, thereby changing the function relationship between the height of the elastic ring structure and the applied tensile force, and further realizing the adjustment of the measurement range of the tensile force measuring device. When the applied tensile force is large, we can select an elastic ring structure with a large flexural rigidity to achieve more accurate measurement.
[0049] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the tensile force measuring device provided by the present invention can accurately obtain the magnitude of the measured tensile force. When no tensile force is applied, the square cover plate 2 is in the initial state, and the ranging sensor 7 measures the initial height of the elastic ring structure. When measuring the tensile force, we only need to apply the measured tensile force to the hook 1 of the tensile force measuring device. Under the action of the tensile force, the heights of the four elastic ring structures 3, 4, 5, and 6 will change uniformly. At this time, the ranging sensor 7 measures the height of the elastic ring structure after the tensile force is applied and sends the changed height to the control device. The control device calculates the magnitude of the applied tensile force according to the functional relationship y = 0.0225x + 5.1257 between the applied tensile force and the height of the elastic ring structure and displays it on the display screen 8.
[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the technical content disclosed above to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution content of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
