[0030] In this embodiment, the strain gauge 6 is a mature technology that has been disclosed in the prior art.

[0031] A second through hole 10 is provided inside the main body 1 and at the bottom of the strain gauge 6, a first through hole 9 is provided on one side inside the main body 1, and the first through hole 9 is connected with the second through hole 10, so that the connecting wire of the strain gauge 6 enters the first through hole 9 through the second through hole 10 and extends out through the first through hole 9, a wire clamp 4 is provided on the top of the main body 1, and the wire extending through the first through hole 9 can be fixed by the wire clamp 4, and second fastening screws 12 are provided on both sides of the top of the wire clamp 4, and the bottom of the second fastening screw 12 passes through the wire clamp 4 and is threadedly connected to the main body 1, and the wire clamp 4 and the main body 1 are fixed by the second fastening screw 12;

[0032] The outer sides of the two deformation grooves 5 are slidably connected with protective covers 7, and the inner side of the protective covers 7 is fixed with waterproof insulating glue 11. When the deformation groove 5 is closed by the protective covers 7, the outer side of the strain gauge 6 is protected by the waterproof insulating glue 11, so that the strain gauge 6 can be waterproof and insulated without affecting the collection of the deformation force of the main body 1. First fastening screws 8 are provided inside both sides of the protective covers 7. One side of the first fastening screw 8 passes through the protective cover 7 and is threadedly connected to the main body 1, so that the protective cover 7 and the main body 1 are fixed by the first fastening screws 8.

[0033] The use process of a new force sensor provided by the utility model is as follows: before use, four strain gauges 6 are divided into two groups and symmetrically installed inside the deformation groove 5, and the connecting wire of the strain gauge 6 is extended out of the first penetration hole 9 through the second penetration hole 10, and is pulled out through the first penetration hole 9 and fixed through the wire clamp 4, and then a protective cover 7 is installed on the outside of the deformation groove 5, and the protective cover 7 is fixed to the main body 1 through the first fastening screw 8, so that the outside of the strain gauge 6 is protected by the waterproof insulating glue 11. When in use, the main body 1 is placed inside the drilling rig, and the first assembly groove 2 is installed on the outside of the output end of the corresponding motor, so as not to affect the operation of the drilling rig, and the shaft sleeve is installed inside the second assembly groove 3 by bolts, so that the shaft sleeve is driven by the rotation of the threaded rod to drive the main body 1 outside the second assembly groove 3 to move, so that the main body 1 is deformed. When the main body 1 is deformed, the thrust data of the deformed main body 1 is collected through the strain gauge 6.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 After the sensor (main body 1) is subjected to the thrust F, the size T of the designed deformation groove 5 is adjusted to produce a corresponding relationship between its deformation and the force F, thereby realizing the test of the thrust force.

[0036] according to Figure 5As shown in the figure, the upper flange of the sensor is used to fix the sensor to the drilling system. The strain ε of sensors R1 and R2 can be obtained from the mechanical relationship. 1 , ε 2 They are:

[0037]

[0038] The resistors R3 and R4 are symmetrical to the resistors R1 and R2 on both sides of the sensor deformation slot 5. After being stressed, their strains are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. It can be seen from equations (1) and (2) that the strain of the elastic body in the middle slot of the sensor is linearly proportional to the thrust F and is also related to the size of the deformation slot 5. Therefore, the range and sensitivity of the sensor can be designed by adjusting k and T. According to the relationship between the deformation of the strain gauge 6 and the change in resistance (Equation 3), when the deformation body is strained, the change in resistance of the strain gauge 6 is linearly related to the strain diameter.

[0039] ΔR=R×GF×ε (3)

[0040] Where: ΔR is the resistance change after strain occurs, R is the resistance of the strain gauge when no strain occurs, and GF is the strain gauge gain factor (constant). Use a Wheatstone full bridge to connect four strain gauges, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0041] Attach the four sets of strain gauges R1, R2, R3, and R4 to the Figure 1 In the position shown, when there is no deformation, the resistance of each strain gauge is R1=R2=R3=R4=R; where R1 and R3, R2 and R4 are symmetrical. According to equations (1) and (2), when deformation occurs under force, the resistance change of strain gauge 6 satisfies: ΔR1=ΔR2=-ΔR3=-ΔR4. Figure 6 The circuit structure shown is connected, and an excitation voltage U is applied between the U+ and U- ports. At this time, the voltages of the two ports U1 and U2 are:

[0042]

[0043] Then the voltage difference between U1 and U2 ports is:

[0044]

[0045] Finally, the U under different stress conditions was calibrated. m value, then when in use the output voltage U m Reverse calculate the structural forces.

[0046] After the strain gauge 6 is attached to the specified position, follow Figure 6The connecting bridge is connected, and the connecting wire passes through the first through hole 9 and the second through hole 10 and is fixed under the wire clamp 4 to prevent the wire end of the strain gauge 6 from being loosened due to stress.
