Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thrust measurement, in particular to a hydraulic oil cylinder thrust measurement component. Background Art
[0002] The hydraulic cylinder thrust measurement assembly is a device used to accurately measure the thrust generated by the hydraulic cylinder. By accurately measuring the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder, it can promptly detect abnormal thrust conditions, prevent equipment damage, failures, and even safety accidents caused by excessive or insufficient thrust, and ensure that the equipment operates within a safe thrust range.
[0003] Currently, the method for measuring the thrust of hydraulic cylinders is usually to connect a hydraulic sensor to the oil line from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinder. The pressure directly acts on the sensor's diaphragm, strain gauge, piezoelectric crystal and other sensitive elements, causing these elements to produce micro-displacements, resistance changes, charge generation, etc. that are proportional to the medium pressure. These changes are then detected by electronic circuits and converted and output into a standard signal corresponding to this pressure, thereby realizing the measurement of the hydraulic system pressure.
[0004] At present, although the pressure can be measured by connecting a hydraulic sensor to the oil line from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinder, changes in the temperature, viscosity and other characteristics of the hydraulic oil will have a certain impact on the measurement results. Temperature changes will cause the volume of the hydraulic oil to expand or contract, thereby affecting the accuracy of the pressure measurement; viscosity changes will affect the flow characteristics of the hydraulic oil, thereby causing delays or fluctuations in pressure transmission, resulting in errors in the measured pressure value. If the sensor is not installed properly, additional errors will be introduced or the sensor will be damaged, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. Therefore, a hydraulic cylinder thrust measurement component is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment of a hydraulic cylinder thrust measuring assembly, comprising a housing 1, a measuring assembly being provided on the inner bottom of the housing 1, two connecting rods 3 being slidably connected to the inner sides of both ends of the housing 1, a fixing assembly being provided on the inner sides of the multiple connecting rods 3, and a height adjustment assembly being provided on the outer sides of both ends of the housing 1;
[0035] The measuring assembly includes a measuring housing 8, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 1. Multiple springs 18 are fixedly connected to the inside of the bottom of the measuring housing 8. The tops of the springs 18 are each fixedly connected to a positioning plate 17, which is slidably connected to the inside of the measuring housing 8. A transparent membrane 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the end of the measuring housing 8, and multiple scale lines 16 are fixedly connected to the outside of the end of the measuring housing 8. Measurements are made based on the proportional relationship between the compression of the springs 18 and the thrust. The scale lines 16 are calibrated to directly read the thrust value, enabling a relatively accurate determination of the hydraulic cylinder's thrust. This provides reliable data support for precise monitoring and subsequent analysis of equipment operating parameters, facilitating precise control of related engineering or mechanical operations. The end of the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is slidably connected to the top of the positioning plate 17, which is then slidably connected to the inside of the measuring housing 8. The sliding connection between the end of the hydraulic cylinder body 2, the inside of the measuring housing 8, and the top of the positioning plate 17 makes the measuring assembly well-suited for hydraulic cylinders of varying specifications and models. This eliminates the need for extensive modification or adjustment of the measuring assembly, significantly improving its versatility and applicability. A transparent film 9 is fixedly attached to the inner side of the end of the measuring housing 8. The combination of the transparent film 9 and the scale lines 16 on the outer side of the end of the measuring housing 8 provides the operator with an intuitive and convenient way to observe measurements.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing assembly includes two electric push rods 12, both of which are fixedly connected to the inner side of the middle portion of the connecting rod 3. The inner sides of the ends of the two connecting rods 3 are fixedly connected to hollow rods 13. The ends of the two electric push rods 12 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of both ends of the hollow rod 13. The inner side of the middle portion of the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to an articulated frame 10, and the inner side of the middle portion of the connecting rod 3 is also rotatably connected to an articulated frame 2 11. The other end of the articulated frame 10 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the end of the hollow rod 13, and the other end of the articulated frame 2 11 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the other end of the hollow rod 13. The ends of the articulated frames 10 and 11 are both fixedly connected to a fixing rod 14. By arranging two connecting rods 3 on each side of the housing 1, the fixing assemblies on each connecting rod 3 work together to form a multi-point fixing method for fixing the hydraulic cylinder body 2. Multiple arc-shaped fixing blocks 15 are tightly attached to the outside of the hydraulic cylinder body 2 from different positions. Compared to single-point fixing or simple double-sided fixing methods, they can more evenly distribute the various forces generated by the hydraulic cylinder during operation. Multiple fixing rods 14 are rotatably connected to the inner sides of both ends of the hollow rod 13. The inner sides of the ends of the multiple fixing rods 14 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the multiple fixing blocks 15. The hydraulic cylinder body 2 is disposed inside the housing 1, and the inner sides of the multiple arc-shaped fixing blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder body 2. The inner shape of the arc-shaped fixing blocks 15 is compatible with the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder body 2, achieving a tight fit, further enhancing friction and gripping force, and avoiding measurement errors caused by loose fixation.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The height adjustment component includes a shell 7, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the housing 1. The inner sides of both ends of the shell 7 are rotatably connected to positioning rods 22, the outer sides of the positioning rods 22 are fixedly connected to a worm wheel 20, and the outer sides of the positioning rods 22 are also fixedly connected to a gear 21. The inner side of the shell 7 is rotatably connected to a worm 23, and the worm wheel 20 is meshingly connected to the outer side of the worm 23. The inner side of the shell 7 is slidably connected to a tooth block plate 19, and the gear 21 is meshingly connected to the outer side of the tooth block plate 19. The height adjustment component adopts a transmission coordination method of the worm wheel 20, worm 23 and gear 21, tooth block plate 19. The transmission of the worm wheel 20 and worm 23 has a large transmission ratio, which can effectively slow down the rotation of the hand crank 6, realize precise height adjustment under small angle rotation, and enable the fixed component to achieve precise position change in the vertical direction. The bottom sides of the ends of the two hollow rods 13 are fixedly connected to support rods 4, and the bottoms of the multiple support rods 4 are fixedly connected to slide rods 5. The two ends of the two slide rods 5 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two ends of the shell 1, and the bottom sides of the middle parts of the two slide rods 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the gear plate 19. The height adjustment component is organically connected through the support rods 4, slide rods 5 and hollow rods 13 and other components, forming an overall structure that works in coordination with the fixed component and the shell 1 of the entire measuring component. It ensures that the entire hydraulic cylinder thrust measurement component can operate stably at different heights, laying the foundation for the smooth implementation of thrust measurement work. The inner sides of the two shells 7 are rotatably connected to the hand crank 6, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the end of the worm 23. The height adjustment component can be easily controlled by rotating the hand crank 6.
[0038] Working principle: First, the two fixed components are adjusted to the appropriate height through the height adjustment assembly to facilitate the installation of the hydraulic cylinder body 2. Turn the hand crank 6, which drives the worm 23 to rotate. Since the worm 23 is engaged with the worm wheel 20, the rotation of the worm 23 will cause the worm wheel 20 and the positioning rod 22 and gear 21 fixed thereto to rotate. The gear 21 is engaged with the gear plate 19, and the gear plate 19 slides inside the housing 7. The top of the gear plate 19 is connected to the hollow rod 13 through the support rod 4, which in turn drives the slide rod 5 to slide inside the two ends of the housing 1, realizing the lifting and lowering of the entire height adjustment assembly to achieve the appropriate height of the assembly.
[0039] Then, the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is fixed by using the fixing assembly, and the electric push rod 12 is started. The electric push rod 12 pushes the hollow rod 13. Since the articulated frame 10 and the articulated frame 2 11 are rotatably connected to the hollow rod 13 and the connecting rod 3 respectively, the movement of the hollow rod 13 will cause the articulated frame 10 and the articulated frame 2 11 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed rod 14 to rotate. The arc-shaped fixed block 15 at the end of the fixed rod 14 will move inward and be tightly fixed to the outside of the hydraulic cylinder body 2, completing the fixation of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0040] When the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is operating and generating thrust, its end exerts force on the positioning plate 17, which slides inside the measuring housing 8. Since a spring 18 is attached to the bottom of the positioning plate 17, the thrust compresses the spring 18. A transparent film 9 is located inside the end of the measuring housing 8, and a scale line 16 is located on the outside of the end of the measuring housing 8. As the spring 18 compresses, the movement of the positioning plate 17 can be observed through the transparent film 9, and the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder can be determined by comparing it with the scale line 16. The thrust can be calculated from the known spring constant and the observed compression. Furthermore, the scale line 16 can be calibrated in advance, allowing the corresponding thrust value to be directly read.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
