DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a parameter measuring device dedicated to an engine includes a main platform 1 and a C-shaped fixture. A measuring platform 2 is provided on the main platform 1. Load cells 6 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the measuring platform 2. The measuring platform 2 is symmetrically provided with two sets of centroid measuring mechanisms along the axial direction of the C-shaped fixture. The centroid measuring mechanisms include a measuring seat 3 and two roller supports 4. The measuring seat 3 is slidably mounted on the measuring platform 2. The top of the measuring seat 3 is open. The two roller supports 4 are mounted in the opening of the measuring seat 3 and are spaced apart along the radial direction of the C-shaped fixture. The C-shaped fixture includes two C-shaped parts 5. The two C-shaped parts 5 are respectively located in the openings of the two measuring seats 3 and are supported by the roller supports 4. The two C-shaped parts 5 are connected together by multiple tie rods 7. The weighing method is used to measure The center of gravity of the object to be measured is to mount the object to be measured on a C-shaped tooling frame, and the weight of the object to be measured is measured by a weighing sensor 6. There are four groups of weighing sensors 6, and the center of mass of the object is determined by the force difference of the four groups of weighing sensors. The weight method of measuring the center of mass of the object is based on the principle of moment balance. Therefore, the position of the object to be measured is adjusted by moving the measuring seat 3. By changing the geometric position of the object to be measured and accurately measuring the changed relative distance, the change value of the position of the original center of mass of the object can be calculated according to the moment balance theory. At the same time, the two center of mass positions before and after the known weight change are measured according to the center of mass measurement mechanism. The difference between the two center of mass measurement values is compared with the theoretical calculated value, and the accuracy of the center of mass measurement mechanism can be conveniently and accurately determined.
[0021] Furthermore, clamping blocks are provided at both ends of the opening of one of the C-shaped members 5 , and the object to be measured is abutted against the clamping blocks by bolts, thereby clamping the object to be measured on the C-shaped fixture frame.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a moment of inertia measuring mechanism is provided on the main platform 1, and the moment of inertia measuring mechanism includes a photoelectric gate sensor 22, and the photoelectric gate sensor 22 is installed on the side wall of one of the measuring seats 3. A rolling mechanism is provided on one of the measuring seats 3, and the rolling mechanism is used to drive the C-type fixture to rotate. The rolling mechanism includes a gear box 23, a rolling spindle 24 and a column 25. Both ends of the measuring seat 3 are fixedly connected to the column 25, and the top of the column 25 is connected to a reciprocating spring 26. The end of the reciprocating spring 26 away from the column 25 is connected to the C-type fixture through a connecting rod 27. The gear box 23 is installed on the measuring seat 3, and the rolling spindle 24 is rotatably installed on the measuring seat 3. One end of the rolling spindle 24 is connected to the input shaft of the gear box 23, and the other end A handwheel 29 is connected, and the output shaft of the gearbox 23 is connected to the drive gear 28. An arc-shaped rack 33 is installed on the C-type fixture, and the drive gear 28 engages with the arc-shaped rack 33. During measurement, the handwheel 29 is manually turned to drive the rolling spindle 24 to rotate, and the spindle 24 drives the drive gear 28 to rotate through the gearbox 23. The drive gear 28 drives the C-type fixture and the object to be measured thereon to tilt through the arc-shaped rack 33. The C-type fixture makes the reciprocating springs 26 at both ends in a stretched state and the other in a compressed state, and then the handwheel 29 is released. Under the reaction force of the reciprocating spring 26, the C-type fixture swings back and forth. By measuring the period and number of times the C-type fixture passes through the photoelectric gate sensor 22, the moment of inertia of the object is calculated. During the rolling process, the test piece is completely fixed to the C-type fixture, with no relative displacement. The measured moment of inertia is the sum of the C-type fixture and the object being tested. The moment of inertia of the object being tested is then subtracted from the C-type fixture's moment of inertia to obtain the moment of inertia of the object being tested. Using the horizontal pendulum method, the test piece is directly supported by roller support 4 during testing. The influence of frictional resistance torque during the pendulum is significant and cannot be ignored. We consulted relevant domestic and international data, comprehensively considering the impact of frictional resistance torque on the measurement accuracy of the horizontal pendulum method. We established a vibration equation for the horizontal pendulum method that includes a frictional resistance torque term and provided a calculation method. Analysis of the solution to this equation revealed the changing trends in the periodic measurement values of the photoelectric gate sensor at different positions between two static equilibrium positions. This significantly improves the installation of the photoelectric gate sensor and the measurement accuracy of the X-axis moment of inertia.
[0024] Assume that the system's no-load X-axis moment of inertia is J0, the X-axis moment of inertia and measured period of standard part 1 are JS1 and T1 respectively, the X-axis moment of inertia and measured period of standard part 2 are JS2 and T2 respectively, and the X-axis moment of inertia and measured period of the measured part are Jd and Td respectively.
[0025]
[0026] Solving the above equations, we can get the calibrated torsion pendulum stiffness coefficient:
[0027]
[0028] The X-axis moment of inertia of the measured object is:
[0029] Take the average

[0031] Example 3
[0032] Based on the second embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a lifting and weighing mechanism is provided in the main platform 1, which includes four groups of mounting seats 12, on which a lifting frame 13 is slidingly provided. Four weighing sensors 6 are respectively installed on the top of the four lifting frames 13, and a lead screw 14 is rotatably provided on the mounting seat 12. A lead screw slider 15 is threadedly sleeved on the lead screw 14, and the lifting frame 13 is connected to the lead screw slider 15. The lifting and weighing mechanism also includes two transmission shafts 16, and both ends of the transmission shaft 16 are rotatably connected to the two groups of mounting seats 12. Both ends of the transmission shaft 16 are connected to a first bevel gear 17, and the lead screw 14 is connected to a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear 17. The two transmission shafts 16 are connected through a driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism includes a double-output shaft motor 18. The two output shafts of the double-output shaft motor 18 are connected to an output main shaft 19. One end of the output main shaft 19 is connected to a transmission main shaft 20 through a bevel gear set. The transmission main shaft 20 is sleeved with a third bevel gear 21. The three-bevel gear 21 meshes with the second bevel gear. During weighing, the double-output shaft motor 18 drives the two output main shafts 19 to rotate. The output main shaft 19 drives the transmission main shaft 20 to rotate through the bevel gear set. The transmission main shaft 20 drives the lead screws 14 on two sets of mounting seats 12 to rotate through the meshing of the third bevel gear 21 and the second bevel gear. At the same time, the meshing of the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear 17 drives the transmission shaft 16 to rotate. The transmission shaft 16 drives the lead screws 14 on the other two sets of mounting seats 12 to rotate through the meshing of the first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear, so that the lead screw slider 15 drives the lifting frame 13 to move upward, so that the four weighing sensors 6 all move upward and extend from the top of the main platform 1 to support the measuring platform 2 to measure the weight of the object to be measured. When measuring the moment of inertia, the double-output shaft motor 18 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the lifting frame 13 drives the weighing sensor 6 to move downward, so that the measuring platform 2 contacts the main platform 1, and the measuring platform 2 is supported by the main platform 1. The bevel gear set includes two bevel gears meshing with each other, and the two bevel gears are respectively connected to the output main shaft 19 and the transmission main shaft 20.
[0033] Furthermore, two guide rails 10 are arranged in parallel on the measuring platform 2, and a slide block 11 is slidably fitted on the guide rail 10. The slide block 11 moves along the axial direction of the C-shaped tooling frame. The slide block 11 is connected to the bottom of the measuring seat 3. The moving direction of the object to be measured is guided by the cooperation between the slide block 11 and the guide rail 10 to change the position of the object to be measured to measure the center of mass.
[0034] Example 4
[0035] Based on the third embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the main platform 1 is provided with a coordinate conversion mechanism, which includes a conversion frame 30, a rotating base 31, and a length measuring sensor 32. The conversion frame 30 is mounted on the main platform 1, and the rotating base 31 is rotatably mounted on the main platform 1. The length measuring sensor 32 is mounted on the rotating base 31. The length measuring sensor 32 measures the size of the object being measured. The rotating base 31 is used to change the position of the length measuring sensor 32, that is, to rotate the length measuring sensor 32 90 degrees, so that the X-axis and Y-axis lengths of the object being measured are measured. The length is measured in the X direction, and the width is measured in the Y direction. The coordinate height is fixed in the Z direction and is located at the center of the cross-sectional circle. The left-right swing in the above-mentioned embodiment 2 can only measure the moment of inertia in the X direction. Through this coordinate mechanism and mass measurement, the center of mass of the object being measured can be calculated. The geometric distribution of the center of mass can directly determine the moment of inertia in the Y direction. The moment of inertia in the Z direction is measured by reciprocating swing around the Z axis.
