Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of torque measuring devices, and specifically relates to a rotor torque testing device. Background Art

[0002] A torque measuring device is a device used to measure the torque (moment) generated by an object during rotation or torsion. It usually consists of a sensor, a data processing system, etc., and can monitor and record the magnitude and direction of torque in real time. Torque measuring devices are mainly used to evaluate the torque exerted by mechanical equipment, tools or components during rotation or torsion, ensure that the equipment operates normally within the designed torque range, and help with the quality control and maintenance of mechanical components.

[0003] Torque measuring devices have various categories, including: 1. Mechanical torque measuring devices, which measure torque by using the deformation of a lever system or a spring sheet. This device has a simple structure and low cost, but low precision and limited measurement range. 2. Magnetoelectric torque measuring devices, which measure the change in voltage using the change in magnetic field to calculate torque. They have high measurement precision, fast response speed, and are suitable for dynamic measurement, but are costly and complex to install. 3. Resistive torque measuring devices, which convert torque into resistance change using the deformation of a resistance strain gauge. They have high precision and good stability and are suitable for high-precision measurement. However, the strain gauge is fixed on the elastic shaft by means of glue bonding, so the measurement data is easily affected by the bonding effect. In addition, for a high-speed rotating rotor, the strain gauge bonded to the elastic shaft will bear a large centrifugal force, resulting in a reduced bonding effect between the strain gauge and the elastic shaft.

Detailed implementation mode

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model usually described and illustrated in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment discloses a rotor torque testing device, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, which includes a housing 1 and a rotating shaft 2. The rotating shaft 2 is connected to the housing 1 through a bearing 3. A strain gauge 4 and a slip ring 5 are provided on the rotating shaft 2, and a signal processing component 11 and a data interface 12 are provided on the housing 1.

[0037] As Figure 3 , 4 , 5 shown, the rotating shaft 2 includes an input shaft 21, an elastic shaft 22 and an output shaft 23. Both ends of the elastic shaft 22 are respectively connected to the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23; the strain gauge 4 is provided on the elastic shaft 22.

[0038] Central channels 24 are provided on the input shaft 21, the elastic shaft 22 and the output shaft 23. Both ends of the central channel 24 extend to the side parts of the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23, and openings 241 communicating with the external atmosphere are formed on the side parts of the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23. The elastic shaft 22 is provided with an adsorption channel 25 at the bottom of the strain gauge 4 for increasing the bonding effect between the strain gauge 4 and the elastic shaft 22.

[0039] As Figure 6 and 7 shown, the elastic shaft 22 is provided with a placement groove 221, the strain gauge 4 is provided in the placement groove 221, the top of the adsorption channel 25 is provided at the center position of the placement groove 221, and a support mesh 222 for preventing the strain gauge 4 from entering the adsorption channel 25 is provided at the top.

[0040] AsFigure 3 As shown, the diameter of the output shaft 23 is greater than that of the input shaft 21 which is greater than that of the elastic shaft 22. The diameter of the elastic shaft 22 is the smallest, making the strain gauge 4 on it bear the minimum centrifugal force at the same rotational speed. Therefore, the bonding effect between the strain gauge 4 and the placement groove 221 can be effectively improved. At the same time, since the diameter of the output shaft 23 is greater than that of the input shaft 21, the air flow rate at the opening 241 of the output shaft 23 is greater than that at the opening 241 of the input shaft 21. Therefore, the pressure at the opening 241 of the output shaft 23 is smaller. Air can enter from the opening 241 of the input shaft 21, pass through the central channel 24, and flow out from the opening 241 of the output shaft 43.

[0041] When the air flows through the adsorption channel 25 in the central channel 24, a negative pressure can be formed at the adsorption channel 25. Thereby improving the bonding effect between the strain gauge 4 and the elastic shaft 22.

[0042] As Figure 2 、 7 、9 shown, there is a wire 6 between the strain gauge 4 and the slip ring 5, and the wire 6 passes through the central channel 24. The top of the slip ring 5 is provided with a second wire 51 connected to the signal processing component 11.

[0043] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, a joint placement groove 223 is provided on one side of the placement groove 221. The joint placement groove 223 is used to place the joint 41 of the strain gauge 4. The joint 41 is used to connect the strain gauge 4 and the wire 6. A through hole 224 communicating with the central channel 24 is provided at the bottom of the joint placement groove 223, and the wire 6 penetrates into the central channel 24 from the through hole 224. A seal is provided on the through hole 224 to ensure the airtightness of the central channel 24.

[0044] A screw cap 26 is provided on the elastic shaft 22. A threaded portion 225 is provided at the distal end of the joint placement groove 223. The inner part of the screw cap 26 is provided with an internal thread matching the threaded portion 225. A limiting block 226 is provided on the side of the joint placement groove 223 close to the placement groove 221; after moving the screw cap 26, the screw cap 26 moves above the joint 41 and presses the joint 41 in the joint placement groove 223.

[0045] As Figure 8 shown, connection parts 7 are provided at corresponding positions at both ends of the elastic shaft 22 and the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23. Assembly holes 71 are provided on the connection parts 7 in a corresponding manner. The connection parts 7 on the elastic shaft 22, the input shaft 21, and the output shaft 23 are connected and fixed by screws provided on the assembly holes 71. Sealing rings are provided on the connection parts 7 at positions corresponding to the central channel 24, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the central channel.

[0046] A transition portion 27 which is arc-shaped is provided between the connecting portion 7 and the elastic shaft 22. The transition portion 27 can avoid generating large stresses locally on the elastic shaft 22 and prevent the elastic shaft 22 from breaking.

[0047] As Figure 9 shown, the slip ring 5 is provided on the output shaft 23. The slip ring 5 includes a stationary ring 52 and a rotating ring 53. The rotating ring 53 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 23. The stationary ring 52 is sleeved outside the rotating ring 53 and is electrically connected to the corresponding rotating ring 53 through a contact piece 54. The rotating ring 53 is electrically connected to the strain gauge 4 through a wire 6.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the signal processing component 11 is provided inside the housing 1, and the data interface 12 is provided on the top of the housing 1. Bearing seats 8 are provided on the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23, and key grooves 9 are provided at the ends of the input shaft 21 and the output shaft 23.
