[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a bolt preload measuring device using a force balance method, which includes a stretching device 1, an exciter 2 and a vibration sensor 3. The stretching device 1 includes a stretching head 11 and a base 12. The stretching head 11 is threadedly connected to the end of the screw 100 to be measured that extends out of the fixed platform 200. The base 12 has a driving oil circuit, which can apply a force to the stretching head 11 to move the stretching head 11 in a direction away from the fixed platform 200; the exciter 2 is arranged on the base 12, and the output end of the exciter 2 abuts against the fixed platform 200. The exciter 2 is used to generate vibration; the vibration sensor 3 is arranged on the stretching head 11, and the vibration sensor 3 is used to monitor vibration and output an electrical signal.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the stretching head 11 is threadedly connected to the end of the screw 100 extending out of the fixed platform 200, and the driving oil circuit of the base 12 can drive the stretching head 11 to move in a direction away from the fixed platform 200, the stretching head 11 can stretch the screw 100 under the drive of the base 12, so that the screw 100 is deformed and elongated; since the base 12 is provided with an exciter 2, the output end of the exciter 2 abuts against the fixed platform 200, and the exciter 2 can make the fixed platform 200 vibrate, and the vibration will be transmitted to the screw 100 through the fixed platform 200, and then transmitted to the stretching head 11 through the screw 100, and since the stretching head 11 is provided with a vibration sensor 3, the vibration sensor 3 can monitor the vibration and output a signal, so the vibration sensor 3 can The vibration transmitted from the fixed platform 200 and the screw 100 is monitored to obtain a vibration spectrum, and the moment when the nut 300 on the screw 100 is loosened is identified through spectrum analysis, and the magnitude of the force applied by the driving oil circuit of the base 12 to the tensile head 11 at this moment is obtained, thereby obtaining the pre-tightening force of the bolt; the bolt pre-tightening force measuring device using the force balance method applies vibration to the fixed platform 200 and the screw 100, and obtains the tensile driving force at the moment when the nut 300 on the screw 100 is loosened by collecting the vibration spectrum, thereby obtaining the pre-tightening force of the bolt. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. There is no need to calibrate the bolt before measurement, and it is not affected by the surface roughness of the screw 100 and the nut 300 and the residual stress of the screw 100, and has strong practicality and convenience.

[0044] Specifically, the fixed platform 200 can be a platform structure on which the equipment is fixedly installed, or it can be the box itself of the equipment with bolts, which is not limited here; the exciter 2 and the vibration sensor 3 are both commonly used devices in this field. The exciter 2 can generate an excitation force and drive the target object to generate regular vibrations through the output end; the vibration sensor 3 is a device that converts a mechanical vibration state into an electrical signal; in this embodiment, the vibration sensor 3 is connected to the computer via a data cable, and the vibration sensor 3 can convert the monitored mechanical vibration into an electrical signal and transmit it to the computer. The computer can perform spectrum analysis on the electrical signal, thereby identifying the loosening moment of the nut 300 on the screw 100 through the frequency response characteristics. This loosening moment is the moment when the tension on the screw 100 is balanced with the preload force. At this time, the preload force of the screw 100 or the bolt can be obtained by obtaining the force of the base 12 on the stretching head 11.

[0045] The specific structure of the stretching head 11 and the base 12 can be set according to actual needs, as long as the stretching head 11 can drive the screw 100 to stretch. Figure 1 As shown, the base 12 includes a cylinder body 121, which is used to abut against the fixed table 200; the cylinder body 121 has a central cavity 1211 that passes through along a first direction, and the central cavity 1211 has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening is for the screw 100 to extend into, and the stretching head 11 is arranged in the central cavity 1211 and is sealed with the inner wall of the cylinder body 121, and the driving oil circuit is arranged in the cylinder body 121 to drive the stretching head 11 to move along the central cavity 1211; since the stretching head 11 is arranged in the central cavity 1211 and moves along the central cavity 1211 under the drive of the cylinder body 121, the stability of the stretching head 11 during movement is improved, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the preload force measurement; it can be understood that the first direction is the extension direction of the central cavity 1211.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown, a supporting boss 1212 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder body 121, and a step structure matching the supporting boss 1212 is provided on the stretching head 11; along the first direction, an oil outlet hole is provided on the end face of the supporting boss 1212 facing the step structure, and an oil supply hole 1213 is provided on the cylinder body 121. One end of the driving oil circuit is connected to the outside through the oil supply hole 1213, and the other end of the driving oil circuit is connected to the oil outlet hole, that is, the stretching head 11 is driven by hydraulic oil, with a simple structure and easy operation; in this embodiment, the supporting boss 1212 is located in the central cavity 1211, and the supporting boss 1212 is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder body 121; a step structure is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the stretching head 11, and the horizontal surface of the step structure can abut against the horizontal end surface of the supporting boss 1212, and the vertical surface of the step structure can abut against the vertical end surface of the supporting boss 1212, and an oil outlet hole is provided on the horizontal end surface of the supporting boss 1212. Specifically, the stretching device 1 is a hydraulic stretcher commonly used in this field. The oil supply hole 1213 is externally connected to a pressure oil pump. The staff injects hydraulic oil into the driving oil circuit through the pressure oil pump, thereby driving the stretching head 11 to move to achieve stretching of the screw 100.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 12 also includes a mounting portion 122, which is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 121, and the vibrator 2 is connected to the mounting portion 122, so as to avoid affecting the cylinder body 121 when driving the stretching head 11; specifically, the mounting portion 122 and the cylinder body 121 are an integrated structure, the cylinder body 121 is a cylindrical structure, and the mounting portion 122 is connected to the outer wall surface of the cylinder body 121, and a mounting hole is opened on the mounting portion 122, and the vibrator 2 is installed in the mounting hole. The shape of the mounting portion 122 is not limited here.

[0048] In order to protect the central cavity 1211 and prevent external dust, debris, etc. from contaminating the central cavity 1211, Figure 1 As shown, the stretching device 1 also includes a protective cover 13, which is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 121 and blocks the second opening. The stretching head 11 is passed through the protective cover 13 and slides with the protective cover 13; specifically, the protective cover 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder body 121 corresponding to the second opening, and a through hole is provided in the center of the protective cover 13. The stretching head 11 is passed through the through hole. When the stretching head 11 stretches the screw 100, it can move relative to the protective cover 13; specifically, a sealing ring 4 is provided between the stretching head 11 and the cover 13, thereby further improving the dustproof effect of the bolt preload force measuring device using the force balance method.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, a spring 14 is provided between the protective cover 13 and the stretching head 11. The spring 14 can apply an elastic force to the stretching head 11 away from the protective cover 13, so that after the preload force measurement of the screw 100 is completed, the stretching head 11 can automatically return to the initial screw connection position without the need for manual adjustment by the staff, thereby facilitating the next measurement.

[0050] When taking measurements, the vibration sensor 3 can monitor the vibration state of the stretching head 11, and can also monitor the vibration state of the screw 100 by directly contacting the screw 100; in order to further improve the accuracy of the measurement, when the stretching head 11 is threadedly connected to the screw 100, the vibration sensor 3 can abut against the end face of the screw 100. At this time, the vibration sensor 3 is in direct contact with the screw 100, which can improve the vibration monitoring accuracy of the vibration sensor 3 and avoid inaccurate measurement caused by the attenuation of vibration during the transmission process.

[0051] Furthermore, the base 12 is provided with a clearance opening for tightening the nut 300. This clearance opening allows a worker to tighten a loose nut 300, thereby ensuring the secure connection between the screw 100, nut 300, and mounting platform 200. Specifically, the clearance opening is provided at the end of the cylinder 121 away from the protective cover 13. After the preload force measurement is completed, the screw 100 stretches, creating a gap between the nut 300 and mounting platform 200. This clearance opening allows a worker to re-tighten the nut 300.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, a sealing ring 4 is provided between the stretching head 11 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 121, and a sealing ring 4 is also provided between the step structure on the stretching head 11 and the supporting boss 1212. The sealing ring 4 can prevent the hydraulic oil from leaking to ensure the driving effect of the hydraulic oil on the stretching head 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, the installation process of the bolt preload force measuring device using the force balance method is roughly as follows: first, the staff aligns the first opening of the central cavity 1211 on the cylinder body 121 with the screw 100 on the fixed platform 200, and places the cylinder body 121 on the fixed platform 200. At this time, the screw 100 and the nut 300 on the screw 100 are both located in the central cavity 1211; then the staff screws the stretching head 11 to thread the stretching head 11 into the screw 100 until the vibration sensor 3 abuts the end face of the screw 100.

[0054] This embodiment further provides a method for measuring bolt preload force, using the above-mentioned bolt preload force measurement device using the force balance method, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1. Fix the screw 100 to be measured on the fixed platform 200 through the nut 300, place the base 12 on the fixed platform 200, and thread the stretching head 11 to the screw 100; specifically, put the cylinder body 121 of the base 12 on the screw 100, and screw the stretching head 11 to make the stretching head 11 threadedly connected to the screw 100.

[0056] S2 . Turn on the vibration exciter 2 to make the fixing platform 200 vibrate. Specifically, the vibration of the fixing platform 200 is transmitted to the screw 100 and the nut 300 .

[0057] S3. Use the base 12 to drive the stretching head 11 to move in a direction away from the fixed platform 200 to stretch the screw 100; specifically, the cylinder body 121 of the base 12 is externally connected to a pressure oil pump. The staff starts the pressure oil pump and injects hydraulic oil into the driving oil circuit of the cylinder body 121 through the oil supply hole 1213 of the cylinder body 121. The hydraulic oil flows out through the oil outlet hole on the supporting boss 1212, thereby hydraulically driving the stretching head 11 to move to stretch the screw 100. The screw 100 will undergo elastic deformation and be elongated, and the nut 300 on the screw 100 will also be driven accordingly to separate from the fixed platform 200, thereby causing loosening.

[0058] S4. Analyze the vibration spectrum monitored by the vibration sensor 3, identify the loosening moment of the nut 300 on the screw 100 based on the frequency response characteristics, and capture the force applied by the base 12 to the stretching head 11 at the loosening moment, thereby obtaining the pre-tightening force of the screw 100; specifically, the vibration on the screw 100 will be transmitted to the stretching head 11, and the vibration sensor 3 can monitor the vibration state of the stretching head 11. The vibration sensor 3 can also monitor the vibration state of the screw 100 by direct contact with the screw 100; the vibration sensor 3 is externally connected to a computer, and the vibration sensor 3 can convert the monitored mechanical vibration into an electrical signal and transmit it to the computer to perform spectrum analysis on the electrical signal, thereby identifying the loosening moment of the nut 300 through the frequency response characteristics; the computer can also obtain the real-time output pressure value of the pressure oil pump, so that the bolt pre-tightening force measuring device using the force balance method can obtain the tensile force of the stretching head 11 on the screw 100 when the nut 300 is loose, which is the pre-tightening force of the screw 100.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
