Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rotating shaft torque and speed sensors, and in particular relates to an integrated torque and speed sensor for a driving shaft of a feeding auger of a combine harvester. Background Art

[0002] Real-time detection of the load status of the combine harvester is crucial for low-loss and high-efficiency control of the machine and ensuring national food security. As an important structural unit of the combine harvester, the feed auger is responsible for transporting the harvested crops to the inside of the machine. The torque and speed information of its active shaft can better characterize the load status of the combine harvester. The torque detection principle of the active shaft is to convert the mechanical deformation of the shaft caused by external force into an electrical signal, and the speed detection principle is to detect the mark on the rotating shaft through the Hall element, and then calculate the pulse signal per unit time to obtain it.

[0003] In conventional rotating shaft torque and speed detection solutions, the torque sensor and the speed sensor are usually two independent components, which usually require a larger installation space, and the two sensors need to be wired separately, resulting in a messy wiring harness.

[0004] Most of the existing rotating shaft torque sensors are detected by sticking strain gauges on the rotating shaft. For example, the patent with patent publication number CN111656951B discloses a torque sensor for the active shaft of a cutting platform, including a first housing, a first power supply, a collection circuit voltage stabilization module, an output voltage stabilization module, a first Huygens bridge, an amplifier circuit, a collection circuit and a first ZigBee transmission module. The first Huygens bridge is an equal-arm full bridge composed of multiple strain gauges pasted along the axial direction at 45°. The first power supply is mainly used to power the first Huygens bridge pasted on the active shaft of the cutting platform through the output voltage stabilization module. The first Huygens bridge is used to generate a first voltage change signal when the active shaft of the cutting platform is strained by torque. The first voltage change signal is sent by the first ZigBee transmission module through the amplifier circuit collection circuit.

[0005] The above patent has obvious beneficial effects, but still has the following shortcomings in actual operation:

[0006] In the above-mentioned comparative documents, multiple strain gauges are used to form a Huygens bridge to detect torque signals, and the signals are sent through a ZigBee transmission module. However, in actual operation, the field harvesting environment of a combine harvester is extremely harsh, resulting in a lot of signal noise generated by the strain gauges and large data jumps. Since the strain gauges are attached to the rotating shaft, the signals cannot be transmitted through the wiring harness and can only be transmitted wirelessly. The ZigBee transmission used will cause packet loss, resulting in the inability to obtain torque signals. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to improve the torque speed sensor of the active shaft of the feed auger of the combine harvester to solve the defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the above analysis, an embodiment of the utility model aims to provide an integrated sensor for torque and speed of a feed auger driving shaft of a combine harvester, so as to solve one or more of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0009] An integrated sensor for torque and speed of a driving shaft of a feed auger of a combine harvester, comprising:

[0010] Stress-strain elastic body and rotation speed detection device;

[0011] The stress-strain elastic body and the rotation speed detection device are integrated into the sprocket structure; it also includes a signal acquisition board and an electronic circuit box, the signal acquisition board is fixed on the sprocket structure, and the electronic circuit box is fixed on the combine harvester body; it also includes an acquisition board protection cover fixed on the sprocket structure for protecting the signal acquisition board and a shaft locking sleeve fixed on the strain elastic body for locking the feeding auger driving shaft and the stress-strain elastic body.

[0012] Furthermore, the speed detection device includes a rotor coil installed on the stress-strain elastic body structure, a Hall speed meter installed on the rotor coil, a stator coil and a magnet mounting seat installed on the stator coil, and the stator coil is fixed to the combine harvester casing structure through a stator mounting bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the stator coil is kept at a certain distance from the rotor coil through the bearing.

[0014] Furthermore, the shaft locking sleeve is fixed to the stress-strain elastic body by means of 7 bolts.

[0015] Furthermore, the strain signal generated by the stress-strained elastic body and the pulse signal generated by the speed detection device are acquired by a signal acquisition board. The signals acquired by the signal acquisition board are processed by an electronic circuit box to transmit torque and speed signals to the upper computer software.

[0016] Furthermore, the pulse signal is obtained by the Hall tachometer during the rotation process by detecting the magnet mounting seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the electronic circuit box is mainly responsible for coil data coupling, power supply, torque calculation and communication command processing.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0019] a) The utility model provides an integrated torque and speed sensor for the driving shaft of the feed auger of a combine harvester, which integrates a stress-strain elastic body and a speed detection device into a sprocket structure. When the chain drives the sprocket to rotate, the feeding auger rotating shaft is thereby driven to rotate. Under the action of the load, the stress-strain elastic body is deformed. At this time, the stress-strain elastic body and the speed detection device can accurately detect the torque and speed in real time, thus realizing the integrated application of the torque sensor and the speed sensor. Only one signal line needs to be led out from the sprocket structure to obtain the torque and speed signals, thus meeting the requirement of a smaller installation space.

[0020] b) The utility model provides an integrated sensor for the torque and speed of the feed auger driving shaft of a combine harvester. A stress-strain elastic body is provided to detect the torque signal of the feed auger driving shaft. There is no need to stick multiple strain gauges on the shaft. The detection signal is stable and the signal is transmitted through a signal line, so the transmission is stable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A specific embodiment of the utility model is as follows Figure 1-6 As shown, a torque and speed integrated sensor for a driving shaft of a feed auger of a combine harvester is disclosed, comprising:

[0032] A stress-strain elastic body 1 and a rotational speed detection device 2, wherein the stress-strain elastic body 1 and the rotational speed detection device 2 are integrated in one piece on a sprocket structure 3; further comprising a signal acquisition board 4 and an electronic circuit box 5, wherein the signal acquisition board 4 is fixed on the sprocket structure, and the electronic circuit box 5 is fixed on a combine harvester body; further comprising an acquisition board protection cover 6 fixed on the sprocket structure 3 for protecting the signal acquisition board 4, and a shaft locking sleeve 7 fixed on the strain elastic body 1 for locking a feeding auger driving shaft and the stress-strain elastic body 1.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The speed detection device 2 includes a rotor coil 8 installed on the stress-strain elastic body 1 structure, a Hall speed meter 9 installed on the rotor coil 8, a stator coil 10 and a magnet mounting seat 11 installed on the stator coil 10. The stator coil 10 is fixed to the combine harvester casing structure through a stator mounting bracket 12, and the stator coil 10 maintains a certain distance from the rotor coil 8 through a bearing 13.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 5 The shaft locking sleeve 7 is fixed on the stress-strain elastic body 1 by 7 bolts.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 6The data collected by the signal acquisition board 4 is transmitted to the electronic circuit box 5, and the data processed by the electronic circuit box is obtained by the host computer software 14.

[0036] Working principle and use process of the utility model: When the product is used, the sensor is connected to the feeding auger driving shaft. When the combine harvester is working, the chain drives the sprocket structure 3 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding auger driving shaft to rotate. Because the stress-strain elastic body 1 and the sprocket structure 3 are an integrated structure, the stress-strain elastic body 1 rotates at the same time. The shaft locking sleeve 7 is used to lock the feeding auger driving shaft and the stress-strain elastic body 1 to prevent relative rotation, which leads to inaccurate torque measurement. Under the action of the load, the stress-strain elastic body 1 senses torsional deformation, and the signal acquisition board 4 converts the mechanical deformation into an electrical signal and performs AD conversion output. Because the actual field harvesting environment is complicated, the acquisition board protective cover 6 is used for the signal acquisition board 4, because the rotor coil 8 is installed On the stress-strain elastic body 1, the Hall tachometer 9 is installed on the rotor coil 8, so the rotor coil 8 and the Hall tachometer 9 rotate integrally with the stress-strain elastic body 1, and the stator coil 10 is fixed to the harvester casing structure through the stator mounting bracket 12, and the magnet mounting seat 11 is installed on the stator coil 10, and is fixed to the harvester casing structure together with the stator coil 10. The Hall tachometer 9 detects the number of times the magnet mounting seat 11 rotates during the rotation process and generates a pulse signal, and the pulse signal is obtained by the signal acquisition board 4. The deformation electrical signal and pulse signal obtained by the signal acquisition board 4 are transmitted to the electronic circuit box 5 through the wiring harness, and the coil data coupling, power supply, torque calculation and communication command processing are performed, and the processed signal is transmitted to the host computer software 14.
