Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical measuring instruments, in particular to a mechanical instrument which is convenient for calibration. Background Art

[0002] A strain gauge force sensor is a sensor that measures the force applied to an object by measuring its deformation or strain. When an object is subjected to an external force, its shape and size will change slightly, and this change will cause a change in resistance. Currently, most handheld digital force gauges use a force measuring rod to apply an external force to the internal strain gauge force sensor to cause it to deform and measure the external force.

[0003] Since strain resistance force sensors need to deform to produce resistance changes, they are often shaped into a plate or block-shaped protrusion to withstand the deformation. When the force gauge is bumped or used incorrectly, this part of the sensor material is easily damaged and deformed, resulting in the inability to return to zero calibration during subsequent use.

The end of the preload rod is dynamically connected to the output end of the transmission module. The back of the shell is rotatably connected to a calibration wheel, and the calibration wheel is dynamically connected to the input end of the transmission module.

[0009] Furthermore, a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate are arranged at intervals at the part where the preload rod is connected to the connecting block. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are arranged to bite each other on both sides of the connecting block. The preload rod is pushed and pulled by external force to deform the strain swing arm to offset its deformation when it cannot return to zero.

[0010] Furthermore, a screw rod is provided at the connection portion between the preload rod and the transmission module, and the screw rod extends into the interior of the transmission module.

[0011] Furthermore, a turbine and a worm are rotatably connected in the transmission module, the inner ring of the turbine is meshed with the lead screw, and the outer ring is meshed with the worm.

[0023] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] A connecting block 7 is provided at one end of the outer side of the strain swing arm 6, and the connecting block 7 is connected to a preload rod 8. The end of the preload rod 8 is poweredly connected to the output end of the transmission module 12. The back of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to the calibration wheel 4, and the calibration wheel 4 is poweredly connected to the input end of the transmission module 12.

[0027] The first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10 are arranged at intervals at the portion where the preload rod 8 is connected to the connection block 7 . The first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10 are arranged at both sides of the connection block 7 to be engaged with each other.

[0028] The strain swing arm 6 can be pushed and pulled to deform by controlling the preload rod 8 to translate along its axial direction. The zero resistance of the strain swing arm 6 can be adjusted by applying a load to the strain swing arm 6 in advance to change its resistance, thereby achieving calibration.

[0029] A screw 11 is provided at the connection part between the preload rod 8 and the transmission module 12, and the screw 11 extends into the transmission module 12. A turbine 13 and a worm 14 are rotatably connected in the transmission module 12 respectively.

A transmission shaft 15 is connected to one end of the worm 14, and the transmission shaft 15 extends to the outer side of the back of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the center of the calibration wheel 4.

[0030] The user only needs to rotate the calibration wheel 4 on the back of the housing 1 to drive the preload rod 8 to translate along its axial direction to apply load to the strain swing arm 6 for calibration.

[0031] Embodiment 2

A coil spring 18 is arranged on the other side of the friction plate 20 in contact with the side wall 16 and connected to the root of the piston 19.

Since the calibration wheel 4 and the transmission module 12 themselves have a certain reduction ratio, the calibration wheel 4 can maintain the deformation of the strain swing arm 6 by applying a small friction force through the above structure.
