[0015] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an automatic calibration device for a cross plate shearing instrument comprises: a workbench 1, a power source 2 is fixed on the workbench 1, a clamping mechanism 3 for clamping a cross plate shearing instrument 6 is also fixed on the workbench 1, the main shaft of the power source 2 is connected to a transfer fixture 5 via a standard torque sensor 4, and the transfer fixture 5 is connected to the main shaft of the cross plate shearing instrument 6, or the transfer fixture 5 is connected to a cross plate head 610 of the cross plate shearing instrument 6. Which method is selected is determined according to the following conditions:

[0018] If the cross plate head 610 of the cross plate shearing instrument 6 can be disassembled, the adapter fixture 5 is connected to the main shaft of the cross plate shearing instrument 6 through threads. If the cross plate head 610 of the cross plate shearing instrument 6 cannot be disassembled, the adapter fixture 5 is connected to the cross plate head 610 of the cross plate shearing instrument 6. This situation is shown in the schematic diagram of this embodiment.

[0019] The standard torque sensor 4 is electrically connected to the display terminal;

[0020] When in use, the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 to be calibrated is placed on the workbench 1, clamped by the clamping mechanism 3, and then the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 and the standard torque sensor 4 are connected in series by the adapter tool 5, and the torque value to be calibrated is set on the display terminal. After confirming the loading, the power source 2 drives the standard torque sensor 4 and the adapter tool 5 to rotate axially to load the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 with torque. After reaching the calibration value, the power source 2 remains stable, reads the display value of the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 and the measurement value of the standard torque sensor 4 displayed on the display terminal, and the measurement value of the standard torque sensor 4 is used as the standard value. The display value of the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 is recorded on the display terminal, and then loaded to the next calibration point, and the standard torque value and the display value of the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 are recorded in turn. When the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 reaches the upper limit of the torque, the torque value is unloaded in turn according to the calibration point. After unloading to the corresponding calibration point, the display value of the cross-plate shearing instrument 6 is read and recorded, and the value is used as the return value until the torque value returns to zero, that is, the automatic calibration process is completed;

[0021] The technical solution disclosed by the utility model has a good human-computer interaction interface, simple operation, high degree of electronicization, and a significantly improved measurement range compared to lever weights. The calibration points can be manually input and set as needed, and the torque measurement, loading, control, display, and recording functions can be realized.

At this time, the adapter 5 is suitable for the situation where the cross plate head 610 of the cross plate shear instrument 6 cannot be removed.

[0025] Or: the end of the adapter fixture 5 facing away from the standard torque sensor 4 has a threaded hole along its rotation axis, and the main shaft of the cross-plate shear instrument 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the adapter fixture 5. At this time, the adapter fixture 5 is suitable for the situation where the cross-plate head 610 of the cross-plate shear instrument 6 can be disassembled.
