DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that this embodiment is based on the technical solution and provides a detailed implementation method and a specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
[0025] This embodiment provides a calibration device for a large torque sensor, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a torque detection mechanism, a lever mechanism 40, a lifting mechanism 50 and a standard force sensor 51;
[0026] The torque detection mechanism includes a force applying mechanism 10 and a standard torque sensor 20, wherein the force applying mechanism 10 is used to apply torque to the standard torque sensor 20;
[0027] The lever mechanism 40 includes a support column 41, a lever 42 and a pressure blade 43. The lever 42 is rotatably mounted on the support column 41. Both ends of the lever 42 are provided with pressure blades 43. The standard torque sensor 20 to be calibrated is coaxially connected to the lever 42 through a coupling 30.
[0028] The standard force sensor 51 is connected to the lifting mechanism 50 , and the lifting mechanism 50 can drive the standard force sensor 51 to move up and down. The standard force sensor 51 is located directly below the pressurizing blade 43 .
[0029] When the standard torque sensor 20 with large torque needs to be calibrated, the standard torque sensor 20 of the torque detection mechanism only needs to be directly connected to the lever 42 through the coupling 30, and then the lifting mechanism 50 and the standard force sensor 51 are moved to the bottom of the pressure blade 43 at the corresponding end of the lever according to the direction of the measured torque, and the standard force sensor 51 is driven up and down by the lifting mechanism 50 until the lever 42 is adjusted to a horizontal state. After the torque is applied to the standard torque sensor 20 by the force-applying mechanism 10, the lever 42 rotates together with the standard torque sensor 20, and the pressure blade 43 applies pressure to the standard force sensor 51 directly below. The product of the standard force value detected by the standard force sensor 51 and the lever 42 force arm is the detected standard torque value. The standard torque value is compared and calibrated with the indication of the standard torque sensor 20 to complete the calibration of the standard torque sensor 20. By utilizing the calibration device of this embodiment, the standard torque sensor 20 does not need to be disassembled from the original torque detection mechanism, and the calibration is convenient and quick. In addition, a high-precision standard force sensor 51 is used to accurately detect the lever force value, without the need for a large number of weights, thus saving space and reducing the difficulty and cost of calibration.
[0030] In this embodiment, the lever mechanism 40 further includes a levelness detection device for detecting the levelness of the lever 42 , so as to facilitate accurate adjustment of the levelness of the lever 42 .
[0031] It should be noted that the specific structure of the lifting mechanism 50 is not limited and can be obtained from the prior art, such as a screw lift.

[0033] When torque needs to be applied to the standard torque sensor 20 , the push-pull mechanism 14 pushes or pulls the other end of the swing arm 13 to swing around the axis of the force sleeve 12 , thereby driving one end of the swing arm 13 to rotate axially together with the force sleeve 12 , and the force sleeve 12 applies torque to the standard torque sensor 20 .
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the push-pull mechanism 14 includes a worm gear transmission mechanism, a push-pull screw rod 141, a U-shaped hinge joint 151 and a pin shaft 152; the worm gear transmission mechanism and the push-pull screw rod 141 are transmission connected and can drive the push-pull screw rod 141 to move linearly; one end of the push-pull screw rod 141 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped hinge joint 151, and the U-shaped hinge joint 151 is hinged to the other end of the swing arm 13 through the pin shaft 152; the axis of the pin shaft 152 intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the push-pull screw rod 141.
[0035] Specifically, the worm gear transmission mechanism may include a motor, a worm wheel and a worm, the worm wheel and the worm are meshingly driven, the worm is connected to the motor in a driving manner, the inner circumference of the worm wheel has an internal thread matching the push-pull screw 141, and is threadedly connected to the push-pull screw 141 through the internal thread.
[0036] In this embodiment, a worm gear transmission mechanism is used to drag the swing arm to generate a static small angle large torque around the axis of the force-applying sleeve. The structure is simple and the cost is low. The worm gear has a unique self-locking function, which ensures the safety and stability of the force-applying mechanism and the stable output of large torque. The above structure can ensure that the worm gear push-pull mechanism applies a tangential force to the swing arm, ensuring the stable output of large torque.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an articulated mounting seat 161 is fixedly installed on the support frame 11, the articulated mounting seat 161 is hinged to the articulated shaft 162, the worm gear transmission mechanism is installed on the articulated shaft 162, one end of the push-pull screw rod 141 passes through the articulated shaft 162 and is connected to the U-shaped articulated head 151; the rotation axis of the articulated shaft 162 intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the push-pull screw rod 141.
[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the swing arm 13 is provided with a through hole and is coaxially sleeved on the force sleeve 12 through the through hole. The swing arm is sleeved on the force sleeve and is circumferentially fixed and transmits torque through a key, which can improve the installation stability of the swing arm and the force sleeve.
