[0028] The center position of the bottom of the friction plate 7 is provided with a groove, the groove is provided with a pressure sensor 16 at the groove bottom, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The groove is located at the center position of the top of the friction plate 7, the pressure sensor 16 is located at the center position of the groove bottom.
[0029] In practical application, the pressure sensor 16 is a prior art, which is usually composed of a pressure sensitive element and a signal processing unit. According to different test pressure types, the pressure sensor 11 can be divided into a gauge pressure sensor, a differential pressure sensor and an absolute pressure sensor.
[0030] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the friction block 14 is installed in the groove and is in sliding cooperation with the groove in an up-down direction.
