[0026] The positioning groove in the sensing ring 1 is bonded to the strain gauge 2. By setting the strain gauge 2, the bonding position of the strain gauge 2 spans across both sides of the fulcrum 101 to cover the equivalent deformation area as much as possible.

[0027] The outer swing rod 3 is connected to the housing 7 via a compression spring 5, and the compression spring 5 is sleeved outside the outer swing rod 3. By providing the compression spring 5, the compression spring 5 can position and fix the outer swing rod 3 at a coaxial position in the housing 7;

[0028] The outer swing rod 3 is connected to the inner swing rod 4 through a tension spring 6, and the tension spring 6 is arranged in the inner swing rod 4. The sensor ring 1 is connected to the housing 7 through a plurality of screws 8. By setting the sensor ring 1, the positioning groove in the sensor ring 1 shrinks the force of the fulcrum 101 and concentrates it in the deformation area of ​​the sensor ring 1.
