AI Technical Summary
The bearing housing of existing tension sensors wears out quickly, leading to equipment instability and short service life, especially in dusty environments. Furthermore, replacement requires the complete removal of the sensor system, resulting in significant resource waste.
A corrective tension sensor was designed, which is connected to the top connecting flange via a detachable bearing housing. This allows for the replacement of the bearing housing alone without disassembling the entire sensor. The use of a sealed bearing and an external threaded structure on the connecting shaft increases the service life of the sensor's strain element.
This design enables the bearing housing to be detachable and replaceable, extending the sensor's lifespan, reducing maintenance and production costs, and avoiding resource waste.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tension sensors, in particular to a deviation-correcting tension sensor. Background Art
[0002] The tension sensor is an instrument used to measure the tension value of the shaft during the tension control process. When the sensor is subjected to external pressure, it sends the measured tension signal, and the amount of the tension signal is proportional to the amount of tension.
[0003] At present, a Chinese patent application with authorization announcement number "CN218381378U" discloses a tension sensor, including a mounting seat, a protective shell, a sensor assembly and at least one adjusting bolt; the bearing seat body of the mounting seat is connected to the mounting plate through a deformation beam, and the bearing seat body is provided with a bearing mounting groove for installing the bearing; the strain gauge of the sensor assembly is arranged on the deformation beam of the mounting seat; the protective shell is provided with an inner hole that cooperates with the bearing seat body and the deformation beam of the mounting seat, the protective shell is fixed to the mounting plate of the mounting seat, and the side wall of the protective shell is provided with at least one adjusting threaded hole that communicates with the inner hole; the protective shell is sleeved on the outer side of the bearing seat body and the deformation beam of the mounting seat, and the protective shell is fixedly connected to the mounting plate of the mounting seat, and the adjusting bolt passes through the threaded hole of the protective shell and extends into the inner hole of the protective shell.
