[0002] Anchor cable support is a common support measure to maintain the stability of rock and soil, and the anchoring strength of the anchor cable is crucial to its bearing capacity. When using a tensioning machine to measure the anchoring strength of the anchor cable, due to the winding characteristics of the steel strand, the anchor cable structure will generate a torque opposite to the winding direction under the action of the tensioning force. Therefore, the pull-out failure of the anchor cable actually occurs under the combined action of tension and torque, and measuring the tension and torque in this process is of great significance for studying the anchoring strength and failure mechanism of the anchor cable and enhancing the anchoring strength of the anchor cable. However, there is no device in the prior art that can separately measure the torque and tension generated during the pulling of the anchor cable.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device for measuring axial force and torque during the anchor cable pulling process to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a device for measuring axial force and torque during the pulling process of an anchor cable comprises:

[0028] The upper workpiece fixture 2; the upper end of the upper workpiece fixture 2 is connected to the testing machine chuck 1;

[0029] The lower workpiece fixture 4; the lower end of the lower workpiece fixture 4 is connected to the anchor cable 5; the upper workpiece fixture 2, the lower workpiece fixture 4, and the anchor cable 5 are coaxially arranged;

[0030] Axial force and torque separation device 3; the axial force and torque separation device 3 includes a ball joint 31, an upper torque transmission gear 32, a torque separation device 33, and a lower torque transmission gear 34; the lower end of the upper workpiece fixture 2 and the upper end of the lower workpiece fixture 4 are connected through the ball joint 31; the teeth of the upper torque transmission gear 32 and the lower torque transmission gear 34 are axially arranged and arranged relative to each other, the upper torque transmission gear 32 is fixedly sleeved on the upper workpiece fixture 2, and the lower torque transmission gear 34 is fixedly sleeved on the lower workpiece fixture 4;

[0031] The torque separation device 33 includes an upper gear 331, a connecting tube 332, and a lower gear 333. The two ends of the connecting tube 332 are respectively connected to the lower end of the upper gear 331 and the upper end of the lower gear 333; the teeth of the upper gear 331 and the lower gear 333 are axially arranged, the teeth of the upper gear 331 are axially engaged with the teeth of the upper torque transfer gear 32, and the teeth of the lower gear 333 are axially engaged with the teeth of the lower torque transfer gear 34; the torque sensor 36 is axially installed on the outer wall of the connecting tube 332.

[0032] The connecting tube 332 is disposed outside the ball joint 31 , and the connecting tube 332 does not contact the ball joint 31 .

[0033] The tension sensor 35 is axially mounted on the side wall of the upper workpiece fixture 2; preferably, it is placed at a position of the upper workpiece fixture 2 near the ball joint 31; the lead wire of the tension sensor 35 passes through the upper torque transmission gear 32 and then leads out;

[0034] Torque sensor 36: Torque sensor 36 is axially mounted on the outer wall of connecting tube 332 and is also led out through a lead wire. Both tension sensor 35 and torque sensor 36 use strain gauges, or sensors, of the Mogong brand model BF1K-4HA.

[0035] In some embodiments, a ball head is provided at the lower end of the upper workpiece fixture 2 , and a ball groove is provided at the upper end of the lower workpiece fixture 4 .

[0036] When pulling the anchor cable 5, the upper workpiece fixture 2 will transmit the torque and tension during the pulling process. When the tension and torque are transmitted to the axial force and torque separation device 3, since the ball joint cannot transmit torque, the upper workpiece fixture 2 only bears tension at the position close to the ball joint 31, and the torque will be transmitted to the torque separation device 33 through the lower torque transmission gear 34. At the same time, since the tension load is not transmitted between the gears, the tension at the position close to the ball joint 31 of the upper workpiece fixture 2 is completely equal to the tension of the anchor cable 5 by the testing machine, and the connecting pipe 332 is completely under the pure torque effect, and the load is the torque applied by the testing machine. By setting a tension sensor 35 at the position of the upper workpiece fixture 2 close to the ball joint 31, the magnitude of the tension can be measured, and by setting a torque sensor 36 at the connecting pipe 332, the magnitude of the torque can be measured. The pure torsion and pure tension effects are finally transmitted to the workpiece fixture, and the final reaction force is provided by the testing machine.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
