Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically relating to a portable strain tester for steel structural components. Background Technology
[0002] In current engineering practice, the common procedure for testing the surface stress and strain of steel structural components involves cleaning and polishing the target measurement location, then attaching a resistance strain gauge with adhesive and welding signal leads to a dedicated strain gauge. However, to simplify the wiring and control costs, only a 1 / 4 bridge uniaxial strain gauge or a half-bridge strain gauge is often used, which has serious shortcomings.
[0003] First, it is easily affected by the ambient temperature, which can cause data drift and affect the accuracy of the measurement.
[0004] Secondly, the signal cannot be calibrated during the entire testing process, and the measurement accuracy depends heavily on the quality of the strain gauge and the level of on-site operation.
[0005] Furthermore, once the strain gauge is attached, its measurement position cannot be adjusted, and it cannot be reused. It is only suitable for one-time testing, resulting in a waste of resources.
[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a portable strain tester for steel structures. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable strain tester for steel structural components to solve the technical problem of inaccurate measurements.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a portable strain tester for steel structures, comprising:
[0009] A full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor has magnetic bases on both sides; among which...
[0010] The two magnetic bases are suitable for fixing a full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor onto the rigid structural component to be tested;
[0011] The display instrument communicates with a full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor to display test results in real time.
[0012] Furthermore, the display instrument is wired to a full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor.
[0013] Furthermore, the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor is S-shaped; wherein
[0014] The full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor has a square hole in the middle; and
[0015] The square hole is suitable for attaching four strain gauge bridges to the wired output signal to the display instrument.
[0016] Furthermore, connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor; wherein
[0017] The connecting block is fixed on the corresponding magnetic base.
[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the magnetic base is provided with a V-shaped groove.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] (i) Simply clean the surface of the steel structure to be measured to remove oil and impurities. Place the two magnetic bases on the measuring surface according to the required measurement direction and turn on the switches of the two magnetic bases. Shake the magnetic bases by hand to confirm that they are firmly attached. When the steel structure is subjected to external force and strain occurs, the two magnetic bases will produce relative displacement. The full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor in the middle will deform and convert the strain change into an electrical signal, which will be output to the display instrument. The display instrument will convert these signals into intuitive display of the test results. After the test is completed, turn off the switches of the magnetic bases and remove the magnetic bases. Through the above steps, the operation is simple and easy to reuse, without damaging the surface and protective layer of the steel structure to be measured. It is convenient to calibrate the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor and the display instrument before the test. The combination of the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor and the display instrument ensures the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

Two magnetic bases 2 are placed on the measuring surface according to the desired measurement direction, and the switches of the two magnetic bases 2 are turned on. The magnetic bases 2 are shaken by hand to confirm their secure adhesion. When the steel structure is subjected to external force and strain occurs, the two magnetic bases 2 generate relative displacement.

[0036] The full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor 1 has connecting blocks 4 on both sides; the connecting blocks 4 are fixed on the corresponding magnetic bases 2; by setting the connecting blocks 4, it is possible to ensure that the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor 1 can be stably fixed on the magnetic bases 2, and at the same time ensure that the connection between the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor 1 and the magnetic bases 2 will not affect the measurement accuracy of the full-bridge resistance strain gauge sensor 1.
