[0023] The present utility model provides a bolt fracture early warning device 100 .

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the bolt fracture warning device 100 includes a fixing plate 10, a sensing element 30 and a locking structure 20. The sensing element 30 is provided on the fixing plate 10 and is connected to a controller 60. The locking structure 20 is provided with a plurality of fixing blocks 23. Each fixing block 23 is of different sizes and is used to cooperate with bolts of different diameters. The locking structure 20 is installed on the fixing plate 10. The bolt passes through the sensing element 30 and the fixing plate 10 and is tightened to the fixing block 23 located in the middle of the fixing plate 10. The clamping force of the bolt squeezes the sensing element 30, and the sensing element 30 collects force data and transmits it to the controller 60.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sensing element 30 is an annular pressure sensor, and the controller 60 are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here; a first gasket 31 is provided on the top of the sensing element 30, and a second gasket 32 ​​is provided on the bottom, which can reduce direct friction between the bolt and the sensing element 30 and reduce wear.

[0026] The fixing bolts have a standard clamping force value (for example: 36KN). The sensing element 30 detects the bolt clamping force in real time and transmits the clamping force electrical signal to the controller 60. If the fixing bolts become loose, the clamping force will decrease. If the clamping force is lower than 70% of the standard value (25.2KN), the controller 60 will issue an alarm message to prompt maintenance personnel to check the fixing bolts in time. If the fixing bolts break and the clamping force is lower than 30% of the standard value (10.8KN), the controller 60 will immediately issue a shutdown signal, the equipment stops running, and minimize equipment losses.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking structure 20 includes a column 21 and four horizontal columns 22. The four horizontal columns 22 are arranged at intervals on the arc surface of the column 21. The end of each horizontal column 22 is provided with the fixing block 23, and the sizes of the fixing blocks 23 on different horizontal columns 22 are different. The fixing blocks 23 of different sizes can be matched with bolts of different diameters, and bolts of different specifications can be fixed and detected.

[0028] In this embodiment, a mounting hole 11 is provided on the fixing plate 10, and the column 21 is connected to the fixing plate 10 through the mounting hole 11. A limit platform 24 is provided on the top of the column 21, and an elastic member 40 is sleeved on the column 21. One end of the elastic member 40 is against the limit platform 24, and the other end is against the fixing plate 10.

[0029] The elastic member 40 may be a spring, but is not limited thereto. A recess 12 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 10, and the recess 12 is located at the through hole for the mounting bolt. The height of each fixing block 23 is higher than the thickness of the crossbar 22, so that the fixing block 23 can be stuck in the recess 12 after being rotated to the center of the fixing plate 10. It is understandable that under the elastic force of the elastic member 40, the fixing block 23 can always be against the top of the recess 12. When it is necessary to replace the fixing block 23 at another position to the recess 12, the column 21 is pressed down so that the fixing block 23 originally in the recess 12 exits the recess 12, and then the column 21 is rotated so that the fixing block 23 at another position rotates to the recess 12. The user releases his hand, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 40, the fixing block 23 is stuck in the recess 12, and then the bolt is connected to it.

[0030] Working principle: According to the size of the detection bolt, rotate the appropriate fixing block 23 to the recess 12. After releasing your hand, under the elastic force of the elastic member 40, the fixing block 23 is stuck in the recess 12, and then the bolt to be detected is passed through the sensing element 30 and tightened to the fixing block 23. The sensing element 30 detects the bolt clamping force in real time and transmits the clamping force electrical signal to the controller 60. If the fixing bolt becomes loose, the clamping force will decrease, and the controller 60 will issue an alarm to remind the maintenance personnel to check the fixing bolt in time. If the fixing bolt breaks, the clamping force is lower than the standard value by 30% (10.8KN). The controller 60 immediately issues a shutdown signal and the equipment stops running.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
