[0029] The first position detection mechanism 4 includes a support column 11 fixedly connected with the frame 1, a Z-axis cylinder 12 arranged at the top of the support column 11, a Z-axis platform 13 connected with the working end of the Z-axis cylinder 12, an X-axis cylinder 14 arranged on the Z-axis platform 13, and an X-axis displacement sensor 15 arranged on the working end of the X-axis cylinder 14,

[0030] The second position detection mechanism 5 has the same structure as the first position detection mechanism 4,

[0031] A reference surface support 16 is further arranged at the middle of the frame 1,

[0032] The weighing module 2, the Z-axis cylinder 12, the X-axis cylinder 14 and the X-axis displacement sensor 15 are uniformly controlled by a control system, and a display screen 17 is arranged on the side of the frame 1 and connected with the control system.

[0033] Among the four weighing modules 2, one is a fixed weighing module 18, one is a semi-floating weighing module 19, and the other two are floating weighing modules 20, and the two floating weighing modules 20 are arranged at the two ends of a diagonal line,

[0034] The fixed weighing module 18 includes a bottom plate 21 fixedly connected with the frame 1, a sensor mechanism 22 arranged on the bottom plate 21, a connecting piece 23 connecting the sensor mechanism 22 with a bearing plate 24, a limiting groove 26 matched with a limiting end 25 of the connecting piece 23 arranged on the bottom surface of the bearing plate 24, and the limiting end 25 being circular in cross section,

[0035] The structure of the semi-floating type weighing module 19 is same as the fixed type weighing module 18, but the limiting groove 26 is a long groove, the length of the limiting groove 26 in the X-axis direction is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting end head 25, and the length in the Y-axis direction matches the outer diameter of the limiting end head 25,

[0036] The structure of the floating type weighing module 20 is same as the fixed type weighing module 18, but the inner diameter of the limiting groove 26 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting end head 25.

[0037] The working process of the workpiece mass centroid detection device is as follows: the workpiece to be detected in mass and centroid is hoisted to the device by a lifting tool, and is placed on the bearing platform 3, and the workpiece is supported by the support mechanisms at both ends, and according to the specific conditions of the support positions on the bottom surface of the workpiece, it is determined which two pairs of support mechanisms are used and the specific state of the support mechanisms;

[0038] After the workpiece is placed, the position detection mechanism measures the distance between the end surface of the workpiece and itself, and since the distance between the position detection mechanism and the reference surface support 16 is known, the distance between the end surface of the workpiece and the reference surface support 16 can be calculated by measuring the distance between the workpiece and the position detection mechanism, and the data of the distance is needed in the calculation of the centroid; since the effective measurement distance of the displacement sensor is limited, and the longer the distance, the greater the error, therefore, in actual operation, the displacement sensor will be as close to the measured workpiece as possible, therefore, during the operation of the device, it is determined whether the first position detection mechanism 4 or the second position detection mechanism 5 is used for the above detection according to the specific length of the workpiece, so as to ensure the detection accuracy; when the first position detection mechanism 4 is used for detection, the second position detection mechanism 5 is lowered to avoid interference with the measured workpiece;

[0039] After the workpiece is stabilized, the control system automatically calculates the mass and centroid of the workpiece according to the values detected by each weighing module 2, and combines the length of the workpiece, and outputs the results on the display screen 17;

[0040] When the workpiece is relatively short, a pair of support mechanisms at the right end of the bearing platform 3 and the inner side support mechanisms at the left end can be used to support the workpiece together, and when the workpiece is relatively long, a pair of support mechanisms at the right end of the bearing platform 3 and the outer side support mechanisms at the left end can be used to support the workpiece together; according to the specific structure of the supported part of the workpiece,

[0041] One end of the bearing platform 3 is provided with two pairs of support mechanisms, and when the workpiece is placed, the state of the support mechanism can be selected according to the length of the bottom surface of the workpiece, and when used, the index pin can be opened to drive the turnover block 7 to rotate, and the T-shaped support block 8 or the bent support plate 9 is selected to support the bottom surface of the workpiece, and then the turnover block 7 is locked by the index pin;

[0042] And different specifications of workpiece, and the detection mechanism corresponding to the detection end face position also varies, work can be used Z axis cylinder 12 to adjust the height of Z axis platform 13, through the X axis cylinder 14 adjustment X axis displacement sensor 15 in the X axis direction position, so as to ensure that the sensor can contact and detect the detection end face on the workpiece;

[0043] Because four weighing modules 2, only one is fixed weighing module 18, and other modules can be floating adjustment in a certain direction, a certain range, semi floating type weighing module 19 in the load plate 24 can be with the limit end 25 in the X axis direction of the shift, while the floating type weighing module 20 in the load plate 24 can be with the limit end 25 in the plane direction (X axis and Y axis) direction of the shift, that is, when the bearing 3 is pressed on the load plate 24 in the four weighing modules 2, if the bearing 3 due to thermal expansion or other reasons deformation, directly with the bottom surface of the bearing 3 contact load plate 24 can be with the deformation of the bearing 3 and make adaptive adjustment, so as to eliminate the internal stress of the bearing 3 itself, to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0044] It should be noted that when the total mass of the workpiece G is detected, and the pressure measured by each weighing module is known, the specific position of the center of gravity X0 of the workpiece can be calculated according to the formula as follows:

[0045] X0= ·L+b;

[0046] Where P Z3 and P Z4 are the pressure values detected by the fixed weighing module 18 and Figure 2 the floating type weighing module 20 near the right end, G is the total mass of the workpiece, L is the distance between the fixed weighing module 18 (rear force point) and its adjacent floating type weighing module 20 (front force point) in the X axis direction, and b is the distance between the front force point and the reference surface of the measured product.
