[0021] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] The implementation of a standard device for a velocity sensor for calibrating a drop weight impact tester in the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 and 2 As shown:

[0024] It includes a standard device base and a device bracket 1 set on the standard device base through a leveling device 3. The device bracket 1 is provided with an inclination sensor (or spirit level). In this embodiment, the leveling device 3 includes four leveling support angles set between the device bracket and the standard device base. Each leveling support angle can adjust the height of the corresponding position of the device bracket, thereby adjusting the device bracket to a vertical posture.

[0025] The device bracket includes a top plate 6, a middle plate 7, and a bottom plate 8 spaced apart in the vertical direction. The bracket also includes four vertical columns 12 spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The top plate 6, middle plate 7, and bottom plate 8 are fixed to the four vertical columns. The leveling brackets of the leveling device are located between the four corners of the bottom plate 8 and the standard device base 2. Reinforcement plates are also fixed to the four vertical columns at intervals to increase the overall strength of the device bracket.

[0026] The device bracket is equipped with a vacuum tube extending vertically and connected to a vacuum pump. The vacuum tube is located on the underside of the base plate. An electromagnetic magnetic device is installed in the vacuum tube, which includes an electromagnet. The upper end of the device bracket is equipped with a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the electromagnetic magnetic device. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a drum 31 driven by a drum motor, which is connected to the drum through a reduction gearbox. The reduction gearbox is equipped with an angle sensor for controlling the height of the pull rope. The drum 31 and the drum motor are both located on the upper side of the top plate 6. The drum is wrapped with a pull rope 18 connected to the electromagnetic magnetic device. A top cover is installed on the top of the vacuum tube, and the pull rope and the top cover slide and seal together. In this embodiment, the vacuum tube is made of a transparent material and comprises a vertically arranged circular tube 11 and a work box 9 disposed at the bottom of the tube 11. The ends of the circular tube 11 are fixed to the top plate 6 and the middle plate 7, respectively. The work box is disposed between the middle plate 7 and the bottom plate 8. An electromagnetic magnetic device is guided and moved along the inner wall of the circular tube. An electric hatch 21 is provided at the bottom of the circular tube, and the work box 9 has a door that can be opened and closed. A pressure sensor is installed within the work box.

[0027] The standard device also includes a hammer 20 that can be attracted to the underside of the electromagnetic magnetic attraction device when the electromagnetic attraction device is energized. The outer periphery of the hammer 20 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the circular tube. An impact buffer 10 is provided at the bottom of the vacuum tube. The impact buffer 10 is located on the underside of the base plate. The impact buffer 10 includes a buffer base 30 and a buffer seat 28 that is floatingly mounted above the buffer base 30 via a spring 29. The upper end of the buffer seat is provided with a hammer positioning groove 27, which has a diameter that gradually decreases from top to bottom and is used for centering the hammer 20. The hammer positioning groove 27 is coaxial with the circular tube. Mounting locations for corresponding speed sensors are provided inside and outside the vacuum tube. In this embodiment, the mounting locations include a first mounting location 23 located on the upper side of the work box and a second mounting location 26 located inside the work box. The first mounting location is located on the upper surface of the intermediate plate. The first and second mounting locations are respectively used for mounting different types of speed sensors.

[0028] The device bracket is also equipped with a displacement detection device 16 that can be raised and lowered to detect the height position of the hammer. Specifically, the device bracket is equipped with two vertically arranged screws 14, the ends of which are rotatably mounted on the top and bottom plates. The upper ends of the two screws are synchronously driven by a screw motor 5, which is mounted on the upper side of the top plate 6.

[0029] The displacement detection device 16 includes a displacement detection device support 15 coupled to two lead screws. The rotation of the lead screws moves the displacement detection device support 15 up and down. A laser 32, positioned toward the vacuum tube, is mounted on the displacement detection device support 15. The displacement detection device also includes a grating scale 13 arranged parallel to the lead screws. The displacement detection device support 15 cooperates with the grating scale's guided movement to determine the height of the laser 32. When the laser height matches the hammer height, the hammer height can be determined.

[0030] The vacuum box 9 is provided with a vacuum port 22 , and the vacuum port 22 is connected to a vacuum pump, which is located on the lower side of the bottom plate.

[0031] During actual use, the device bracket 1 is adjusted using the leveling device 3 to ensure that the vacuum tube is in a vertical position. When the electromagnetic magnetic device 19 is energized, it exerts a magnetic force, allowing the hammer 20 to be attracted to its lower end. The reel 31 pulls the hammer 20 to a certain height, and the specific height of the hammer is detected by the displacement detection device. The speed sensor to be calibrated in this embodiment is a dual-electric laser velocimeter 24. The dual-electric laser velocimeter 24 can be installed in a first installation position, with the dual-electric laser velocimeter 24 and the reflector 25 positioned on opposite sides of the circular tube. When the electromagnetic magnetic device is de-energized, the hammer falls freely within the vacuum tube without resistance. When the hammer passes the speed sensor, the speed sensor detects its falling speed. The speed sensor is calibrated by comparing the calculated free-fall speed of the hammer with the actual detected falling speed. The hammer eventually landed in the hammer positioning slot of the buffer seat. The spring's buffering and energy absorption prevented excessive damage to the hammer and prevented the hammer from being reflected to other locations. When the hammer was stationary, the hammer positioning slot positioned it coaxially with the tube. This ensured that the next time the electromagnetic attraction device attracted the magnet, the outer periphery of the hammer would be spaced from the inner wall of the tube, preventing the hammer from rubbing against the inner wall of the tube when it fell. Throughout the test, the electric hatch was open, and a pressure sensor detected the pressure in the vacuum tube, which was maintained in a vacuum state by a vacuum pump.

[0032] In other embodiments of the present invention, the hammer body may also have a spherical structure. In this case, the hammer body positioning groove may be a hemispherical groove structure adapted to the bottom of the hammer body, and the bottom of the electromagnetic magnetic device is provided with an upper spherical groove adapted to the upper end of the hammer body. When dealing with other types of speed sensors, such as proximity speed sensors, the electric door can be closed to reduce vacuum leakage, the work box door can be opened, and the speed sensor can be placed in the second installation position of the work box. The door is then closed, the electric door is opened, and the vacuum pump ensures a vacuum environment in the vacuum tube, thereby completing the traceability calibration of the speed sensor.
