Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of centroid measurement technology, and particularly relates to a low-cost, high-precision centroid measurement device and method. Background Technology
[0002] The research and development of large rotating products requires the measurement of the center of mass. These products are characterized by large size, heavy weight, small batch size, and many specifications.
[0003] In measuring the center of mass of rotating products, the product under test needs to rotate under the drive of two sets of rollers, one at the front and one at the back. For rotating products of standard sizes, the requirement for the synchronization of the front and rear roller rotations is not very high. However, when measuring large rotating products with a diameter exceeding 1 meter and a length exceeding 5 meters, even slight asynchrony in the rotation of the front and rear rollers can cause significant and visible interference to the measurement results. Furthermore, due to the small batch size and diverse specifications of large rotating products, there are certain requirements for cost control of the measuring equipment.
[0004] Currently common centroid measurement devices, such as the high-precision centroid measurement device for large-mass eccentric workpieces disclosed in Chinese patent CN106908199B, are designed for rotating products of standard dimensions. However, this solution fails to address the synchronization issue of the front and rear rollers, making it unsuitable for large rotating products. Furthermore, this approach uses multiple sets of sensors with different ranges for repeated measurements to improve accuracy, making it relatively expensive for measuring large rotating products with small batches and diverse specifications. Another example is the split-type measurement mechanism disclosed in Chinese patent CN101846542B for measuring the mass and three-dimensional centroid of an object. This split-type structure cannot solve the problem of front-to-back synchronization during the rotation of the measured object. Additionally, Chinese patent CN104792464B discloses a method for testing the centroid of a rotating body, and Chinese patent CN105136099B discloses a method for inspecting the eccentricity of a rotating body. All of these solutions rely on calibration to improve the accuracy of the measurement results, which is costly and generally impractical for engineering applications, and they do not achieve the separation of systematic and random errors.

The number of adjusting shims 102 and chemical anchors 103 is the same, denoted as N, where N≥2.
[0085] In this embodiment, the weighing sensor assembly 2 includes four weighing sensor units: a first weighing sensor unit 21, a second weighing sensor unit 22, a third weighing sensor unit 23, and a fourth weighing sensor unit 24. The four weighing sensor units are arranged in a rectangular layout and mounted on the fixed base 1. Specifically, the first weighing sensor unit 21 and the second weighing sensor unit 22 form one group, mounted on the front mounting plate 104; the projection of the theoretical center of the front clamp 71 onto the horizontal ground coincides with the projection of the midpoint of the line connecting the first weighing sensor unit 21 and the second weighing sensor unit 22 onto the horizontal ground.

[0086] Each weighing sensor unit has the same structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the weighing sensor unit mainly includes: a weighing sensor 201, an extension block 202, and a nut 203. The weighing sensor 201 is mounted on the fixed base 1 with screws (the weighing sensors in the first and second weighing sensor units are mounted on the front mounting plate of the fixed base with screws; the weighing sensors in the third and fourth weighing sensor units are mounted on the rear mounting plate of the fixed base with screws). The extension block 202 is threaded to the weighing sensor 201 and secured with the nut 203. The height of the upper surface of the extension block 202 is adjusted by the thread. After the upper surfaces of the four extension blocks of the four weighing sensor units are at the same horizontal plane, the nut is tightened to fix the position of the extension block and prevent loosening.
[0087] In this embodiment, as Figures 6-7As shown, the movable frame 3 mainly includes: a square steel frame 301, ball joints 302, a linear guide rail 303, and a sliding plate 304. The upper and lower surfaces of the square steel frame 301 are machined to achieve good precision. Four ball joints 302 are located at the bottom of the square steel frame 301, and their positions correspond to the positions of the four weighing sensor units. When the movable frame 3 is placed on the weighing sensor assembly 2, the four ball joints 302 contact the upper surfaces of the four extended supports of the four weighing sensor units. The upper surface of the square steel frame 301 includes a fixed section and a sliding section; the front bracket 41 is connected to the fixed section of the square steel frame 301, and the position of the front bracket 41 on the movable frame 3 is fixed; the linear guide rail 303 is installed on the sliding section of the square steel frame 301, and the slide plate 304 is installed on the linear guide rail 303; the rear bracket 42 is installed on the slide plate 304 and can move along the linear guide rail 303 with the slide plate 304 to realize the adjustment of the distance between the rear bracket 42 and the front bracket 41 to adapt to the test objects of different specifications. In this embodiment, the test objects mainly refer to large rotating products with a diameter of more than 1 meter and a length of more than 5 meters.

[0095] Acquisition of load cell assembly readings under no-load conditions: Place the front clamp 71 and rear clamp 72 on the front bracket 41 and rear bracket 72 respectively, and rotate the handle 509 of the drive roller assembly 5 to make the drive roller assembly 5 rotate clockwise. Each rotation of the clamp... The readings of the four load cell units of the weighing sensor assembly 2 are collected once. The readings of the four load cell units collected when the center of mass measuring device is unloaded are recorded as follows: A 1i A 2i A 3i A 4i , i = 1, 2, ..., n.
[0096] Acquisition of load cell assembly readings under load: The object to be measured is mounted on the center of mass measuring device via the front clamp 71 and the rear clamp 72, so that the spatial rectangular coordinate system O B -X B Y B Z B and spatial rectangular coordinate system O A -X A Y A Z A Overlap; rotate handle 509 to make the active roller assembly 5 rotate clockwise, and the measured object rotates 1 / 2 of each rotation. The readings of the four load cell units of the weighing sensor assembly 2 are collected once. The readings of the four load cell units collected under load by the center of mass measuring device are recorded as follows: B 1i B 2i B 3i B 4i .
[0097] The tare reading m of each weighing sensor unit was calculated for each measurement. 1i m 2i m 3i m4i :

A -X A Y A Z A X in A Axis coordinates, X s1 =X s2 =0,X s3 =X s4 =L, where L represents the distance between the theoretical center of the front clamp 71 and the theoretical center of the rear clamp 72.
[0106] Solving the first torque equilibrium equation, we get:
