The fixed bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the top of the fixed bracket 11 is fixedly installed with a bearing mechanism 9. The adapter platform 6 is connected to the top of the base 1. It is connected to the bearing mechanism 9 through the coupling 8, and a digital angle measuring instrument 7 is fixedly installed on the adapter platform 6. The digital angle measuring instrument 7 can be used to read the torsion angle of the torsion bar spring 5 in real time. The turntable 10 is sleeved on the outside of the bearing mechanism 9. The turntable 10 can drive the coupling 8 and the adapter platform 6 to rotate freely through the bearing mechanism 9. The edge of the turntable 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed pins 29 at R1, R2 and R3 at the center of the turntable 10. A lightweight soft wire 12 is fixedly connected to the center of the load disk 13. One end of the lightweight soft wire 12 can be sleeved on the outside of the fixed pin 29, and a weight 14 can be placed on the load disk 13.
[0030] The height of the locking adapter block 4 can be adjusted by manually adjusting the lifting platform 3. There is a bolt structure between the sliding bracket 2 and the slide rail. By adjusting the sliding bracket 2, the distance between the locking adapter block 4 and the adapter platform 6 can be adjusted, so that the measurement and calibration equipment can perform measurement and calibration on springs of different lengths.
[0031] The bearing mechanism 9 includes: a fixed block, a group pressure cover, a group bearing and a group shaft 16, the fixed block group includes: a fixed block 15 and a fixed block 24, the fixed block 15 and the fixed block 24 are fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed bracket 11 by fasteners, the pressure cover group includes: a pressure cover 17 and a pressure cover 28, the pressure cover 17 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed block 15 by fasteners, and the pressure cover 28 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed block 24 by fasteners, the bearing group includes: a bearing 18, a bearing 20, a bearing 3 25 and a bearing 4 27, the outer rings of the bearing 18 and the bearing 20 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 15 and the bottom of the pressure cover 17 A sleeve 19 is fixedly connected between the inner rings of bearing 1 18 and bearing 2 20, the outer rings of bearing 3 25 and bearing 4 27 are fixedly connected between the top of fixed block 24 and the bottom of pressure cover 2 28, and a sleeve 26 is fixedly connected between the inner rings of bearing 3 25 and bearing 4 27. Both ends of shaft 16 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of bearing 1 18, sleeve 19, bearing 2 20, bearing 3 25, sleeve 2 26 and bearing 4 27. A keyway is provided on the outside of shaft 16, and a flat key 1 22 and a flat key 2 23 are placed in the keyway of shaft 16. A flange 21 is fixedly connected to one side of flat key 1 22, and turntable 10 is fixedly connected to flange 21 by fasteners.
[0032] Remove the fasteners between the pressure cover 17 and the fixed block 15 and the fasteners between the pressure cover 28 and the fixed block 24, so that the outer rings of the clamped bearing 18, bearing 20, bearing 3 25 and bearing 4 27 are unlocked, and the shaft 16 together with the bearing 18, bearing 20, bearing 3 25 and bearing 4 27 can be removed. Remove the fasteners between the turntable 10 and the flange 21, and turntables 10 of different sizes can be replaced for measuring and calibrating torsion bar springs 5 of different sizes. The turntable 10 can be quickly replaced through the bearing mechanism 9. The bearing 18, bearing 20, bearing 3 25 and bearing 4 27 of the bearing mechanism 9 can make the turntable 10 rotate more smoothly, reducing the influence of friction resistance on the measurement and calibration of the torsion bar spring 5.
[0033] The two ends of the torsion bar spring 5 are fixedly connected to the adapter block 4 and the adapter platform 6 respectively through fasteners. The weight 14 is passed through the lightweight soft wire 12 and placed on the top of the load disk 13. One end of the lightweight soft wire 12 is sleeved on the fixed pin 29 on the outside of the turntable 10. At this time, the weight 14 drives the turntable 10 to rotate, twisting the torsion bar spring 5. The angle value φ1 at this time is recorded by the digital angle measuring instrument 7.
[0034] Gently place the weight 14, and the turntable 10 rotates under the action of the gravity G of the weight 14. After it stabilizes, record the angle value φ2 of the digital angle measuring instrument 7 at this time.
[0035] Under the action of the gravity of the weight 14, the device drives the turntable 10 to rotate through the lightweight soft wire 12, and at the same time drives the free end of the torsion bar spring 5 to rotate. The deformation of the torsion bar spring 5 itself generates a torque T. When the torque T of the torsion bar spring 5 and the torque generated by the gravity of the weight 14 are equal, the turntable is stable. At this time:
[0036] The torque required for the torsion bar spring to transfer from φ1 to φ2 is: T = G × R = m × g × R;
[0037] The angle change of the torsion bar spring from φ1 to φ2 is: Δφ=φ2-φ1;
[0038] The stiffness of the torsion bar spring is K = T / Δφ = m × g × R / (φ2 - φ1);
[0039] Note: m is the mass of the weight;
[0040] g is the acceleration due to gravity;
[0041] R is the suspension radius of the load mechanism.
[0042] Change the weight of the weight (14) or change the suspension radius of the lightweight soft line 12, record the weight m, suspension radius R, and angle value φ each time, calculate the spring stiffness value K, and compare it with the spring's own stiffness coefficient to determine whether it meets the requirements.
[0043] The digital display angle measuring instrument 7 and the manual adjustment lifting table 3 are both existing products on the market, and their connection methods and control methods are all prior arts, so no further description will be given here.
[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
