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.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a measurement standard device for calibrating the sensitivity index of a metal detector, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a test block holder fixing seat 200 that does not contain metal components, a test block holder 300 and a metal test block 400, wherein the test block holder 300 is arranged on the test block holder fixing seat 200; the metal test block 400 is arranged on the test block holder 300; the metrology standard device is equipped with a plurality of metal test blocks 400, wherein the metal test block 400 includes a main body 470, and the main body 470 does not contain metal components; a metal ball accommodating cavity is arranged in the main body 470, and the metal ball accommodating cavity is used for placing or not placing a metal ball 430; the diameters of the metal balls 430 placed in each metal test block 400 are different.

[0023] In this embodiment, a bracket mounting hole 210 is provided on the test block bracket fixing seat 200 , and the lower end of the test block bracket 300 is fixed to the bracket mounting hole 210 .

[0024] In this embodiment, the metrology standard device includes a plurality of test block brackets 300 of different heights, each test block bracket 300 can be used alone or in combination along the height direction, and when used in combination, the combined test block brackets 300 can be detachably connected. By using each test block bracket 300 alone or in combination along the height direction, test block brackets of various heights can be obtained to meet different usage requirements.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, both ends of each test block bracket 300 are respectively provided with a mortise protrusion 330 and a mortise slot 320 . When used in combination, each test block bracket 300 is mortised with each other via the mortise protrusion 330 and the mortise slot 320 .

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the metrology standard device includes three test block brackets 300, with heights of 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm respectively. By using these three test block brackets 300 individually or in combination, a bracket height range of 100 mm to 450 mm can be achieved.

[0027] In this embodiment, the metal ball accommodating cavity is transparent. The metal ball accommodating cavity is transparent so that the diameter of the metal ball can be measured by projection without taking out the metal ball.

[0028] In this embodiment, the body 470 is provided with a screw hole 420, the screw hole 420 is communicated with the metal ball receiving cavity, and the screw hole 420 is connected with a non-metallic plugging screw 410. The screw hole 420 and the non-metallic plugging screw 410 cooperate to block the metal ball receiving cavity. When the metal ball needs to be inserted / removed, the non-metallic plugging screw 410 can be removed to make the metal ball receiving cavity communicate with the outside, which is convenient for the installation / replacement of the metal ball.

[0029] In this embodiment, the test block bracket 300 is evenly provided with a plurality of test block fixing holes 310 along the height direction, and the main body 470 is provided with a test block mounting screw hole 450 matching the aperture of the test block fixing hole 310, and a test block mounting non-metallic screw 460 matching the test block mounting screw hole 450 passes through the test block fixing hole 310 and the test block mounting screw hole 450 to fix the metal test block 400 to the test block bracket 300.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the test block mounting holes 310 of each test block bracket 300 are spaced 10 mm apart and have a hole diameter of 6 mm.

[0031] In this embodiment, a metal material parameter mark 440 is processed on the main body 470 ; the metal material parameter mark 440 is used to mark the material and diameter data of the metal ball 430 .

[0032] Specifically, the body 470 can be made into a rectangular block shape (30 mm wide, 45 mm high, and 5 mm thick), or a cylindrical shape (6 mm in diameter and 45 mm high). In this embodiment, the body 470 is in a rectangular block shape.

[0033] In this embodiment, the test block support fixing seat 200, the test block support 300 and the body 470 of the metal test block 400 are all made of organic measuring materials. Specifically, the organic measuring material can be transparent acrylic.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the metrology standard device is equipped with 31 metal test blocks 400, one of which is not provided with a metal ball 430 and is used to adjust the detection limit sensitivity of the metal detector, and the metal containing cavity of the remaining metal test blocks 400 is provided with a metal ball 430, and the diameter of each metal ball 430 starts from 0.3 mm and increases in intervals of 0.1 mm until it increases to 3.2 mm. The diameter of the metal ball 430 can also be increased in other intervals or set arbitrarily according to specific use requirements.

[0035] Specifically, the metal ball is made of the metal material to be simulated, such as iron, lead, copper, aluminum, tin, stainless steel (Cr (chromium) mass content ≥ 18%), etc., to achieve calibration of the metal detector's detection sensitivity index to various metals.

[0036] Since stainless steel has the weakest magnetism among all types of metals and its spherical shape will not be affected by the detection angle, the metal material of the metal ball can also be fixed with stainless steel. If the metal detector has a good sensitivity index in detecting stainless steel materials, it can basically also sensitively detect various other metal materials.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This embodiment provides a working method of the metrological standard device for calibrating the sensitivity index of the metal detector described in Embodiment 1, which adopts the "on-site" online (short-term shutdown) method for calibration. The specific process is:

[0039] First, adjust the sensitivity parameter of the metal detector to be calibrated to the maximum; install the test block bracket 300 on the test block bracket fixing seat 200; according to the test requirements, select a metal test block 400 with a metal ball 430 of a corresponding diameter and install it on the test block bracket 300. If the test starts from a metal ball with a minimum diameter of 0.3 mm, then install the corresponding metal test block 400 on the test block bracket 300.

[0040] The entire metrology standard is then placed on the conveyor belt 110 of the metal detector 100 to be calibrated, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the entire metrology standard device is passed through the detection port 120 of the metal detector along with the conveyor belt 110, and this is repeated for a specified number of times (e.g., 10 times);

[0041] If the number of metal detector alarms is less than the set threshold, select other metal test blocks with metal balls of larger diameter and repeat the test until the number of alarms is greater than or equal to the set threshold. The diameter of the metal ball in the current metal test block 400 is the maximum sensitivity of the metal detector, thereby completing the calibration of the maximum sensitivity of the metal detector.

[0042] For those skilled in the art, various corresponding changes and modifications can be made according to the above technical solutions and concepts, and all of these changes and modifications should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
