Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of force sensor calibration equipment, specifically an adjustable force sensor calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] Multidimensional force sensors are a type of force sensor that can simultaneously measure force and torque components in two or more directions. They are widely used in fields such as robotics, automobile manufacturing, and automated assembly lines. Multidimensional force sensors require calibration after long-term use.
[0003] Calibration is necessary to eliminate inherent errors in the sensor and improve measurement accuracy. After long-term use, due to various factors such as temperature changes and mechanical wear, the sensor's measurement results may deviate. Therefore, regular calibration is essential. When using a multi-dimensional force sensor, its surface is subjected to loads in different directions. However, multi-dimensional force sensors can usually only be calibrated in one direction, making it inconvenient to adjust the sensor's calibration position. After each calibration, the sensor's position needs to be re-fixed, which not only reduces calibration efficiency but also affects the calibration effect.

[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an adjustable force sensor calibration device, including a base 1. A lateral moving component 2 is mounted on the top of the base 1. A front-to-back moving component 3 is mounted above the lateral moving component 2. A fixed seat 4 is mounted above the front-to-back moving component 3. The fixed seat 4 is used to fix the sensor. The lateral moving component 2 is used to drive the front-to-back moving component 3 to move laterally, and the front-to-back moving component 3 is used to drive the fixed seat 4 to move back and forth. The lateral moving component 2 includes a fixed plate 201, a first threaded rod 202, a first motor 203, and a first threaded sleeve 204. The first threaded rod 202 is movably connected to the fixed plate 201 through a bearing seat. The first motor 203 is fixed to one side of the top of the fixed plate 201. The output shaft of the first motor 203 is connected to the first threaded rod 202. The moving assembly 3 includes a movable plate 301, a support plate 302, a second threaded rod 303, a second motor 304, and a second threaded sleeve 305. A fixed seat 4 is fixed to the top of the support plate 302. The first threaded sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 301. The second threaded rod 303 is movably connected to the movable plate 301 through a bearing seat. One end of the second threaded sleeve 305 is fixedly connected to the support plate 302. The other end of the second threaded sleeve 305 is fitted onto the surface of the second threaded rod 303 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 303. The second motor 304 is fixed to one side of the top of the movable plate 301. The output shaft of the second motor 304 is connected to the second threaded rod 303 in a transmission manner.
[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, the mounting base 4 can use a vacuum suction cup to fix the sensor to the surface of the mounting base 4. A calibration pressure is applied to the sensor by a hydraulic press 5. The first threaded rod 202, the first motor 203, and the first threaded sleeve 204 work together to drive the front-to-back moving assembly 3 to move laterally, thereby moving the sensor laterally. The output shaft of the first motor 203 rotates, causing the first threaded rod 202 to rotate. When the first threaded rod 202 rotates, it drives the first threaded sleeve 204 to move along the surface of the first threaded rod 202. Simultaneously, the movement of the first threaded sleeve 204 drives the front-to-back moving assembly 3 to move, thereby moving the sensor. The device moves, and the output shaft of the first motor 203 rotates forward, driving the front-to-back moving component 3 to move to the left. When the output shaft of the first motor 203 rotates in reverse, it drives the front-to-back moving component 3 to move to the right. The output shaft of the second motor 304 rotates, driving the second threaded rod 303 to rotate. When the second threaded rod 303 rotates, it drives the second threaded sleeve 305 to move along the surface of the second threaded rod 303. When the second threaded sleeve 305 moves, it drives the support plate 302 to move back and forth, thereby driving the sensor to move back and forth. Through the cooperation of the lateral moving component 2 and the front-to-back moving component 3, the calibration position of the sensor can be adjusted, thereby improving the calibration efficiency.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0027] In this embodiment, a bracket 8 is also fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a hydraulic press 5 is installed on the top of the bracket 8. The output end of the hydraulic press 5 extends through the inner cavity of the bracket 8.
[0028] A standard measuring instrument 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, and a main controller 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 8.
[0029] The lateral movement assembly 2 also includes a first slide rail 205, a first slide block 206 and a first ranging sensor 207. The first ranging sensor 207 is fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed plate 201. The first slide rail 205 is fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixed plate 201. The first slide block 206 is located on the surface of the first slide rail 205 and is slidably connected to the surface of the first slide rail 205. The top of the first slide block 206 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 301.
[0030] The forward and backward moving assembly 3 also includes a second slide rail 306, a second slide block 307, and a second ranging sensor 308. The second slide rail 306 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 301. The second slide block 307 is located on the surface of the second slide rail 306 and is slidably connected to the second slide rail 306. The top of the second slide rail 306 is fixedly connected to the support plate 302. The second ranging sensor 308 is fixedly connected to both the front end and the rear end of the top of the movable plate 301.
[0031] The output terminals of the standard measuring instrument 7, the first distance sensor 207, and the second distance sensor 308 are all connected to the input terminal of the main controller 6. The output terminal of the main controller 6 is connected to the input terminals of the standard measuring instrument 7, the hydraulic press 5, the first motor 203, and the second motor 304, respectively.
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pressure plate is installed at the output end of the hydraulic press 5. The hydraulic press 5 drives the pressure plate to apply calibration pressure to the sensor. The standard measuring instrument 7 is used to calibrate and verify the sensor. The main controller 6 sets the calibration value of the sensor and the pressure value applied by the hydraulic press 5. After the sensor is fixed by the fixing seat 4, the output end of the sensor is connected to the input end of the standard measuring instrument 7. An aviation connector can be used for connection. When the hydraulic press 5 applies pressure, the standard measuring instrument 7 calibrates and verifies the sensor. The first ranging sensor 207 and the second ranging sensor 308 can monitor the movement trajectory of the lateral moving component 2 and the front and rear moving component 3, thereby accurately adjusting the position of the sensor. The first slide rail 205 and the first slide block 206 cooperate to limit the movement trajectory of the movable plate 301 to prevent deviation when the movable plate 301 moves. The second slide rail 306 and the second slide block 307 cooperate to limit the movement trajectory of the support plate 302 to prevent deviation when the support plate 302 moves.
[0033] In use, the sensor can be fixed to the mounting base 4 using a vacuum suction cup. After the sensor is fixed to the surface of the mounting base 4, the output end of the sensor is connected to the input end of the standard measuring instrument 7. The calibration value of the sensor and the pressure value applied by the hydraulic press 5 are set by the main controller 6. A pressure plate is installed at the output end of the hydraulic press 5. The hydraulic press 5 drives the pressure plate to apply calibration pressure to the sensor. When the hydraulic press 5 applies pressure, the sensor is calibrated and verified by the standard measuring instrument 7. After a single calibration is completed, the position of the mounting base 4 is adjusted by the lateral movement component 2 and the front-back movement component 3, thereby adjusting the position of the sensor so that it can be calibrated for different force positions. The first threaded rod 202, the first motor 203 and the first threaded sleeve 204 work together to drive the front-back movement component 3 to move laterally, thereby driving the sensor to move laterally. The output shaft of the first motor 203 rotates the first threaded rod 202. When the first threaded rod 202 rotates... The first threaded sleeve 204 moves along the surface of the first threaded rod 202. Simultaneously, the movement of the first threaded sleeve 204 moves the front-to-back moving assembly 3, thereby moving the sensor. The output shaft of the first motor 203 rotates clockwise, causing the front-to-back moving assembly 3 to move to the left; when the output shaft rotates counter-clockwise, it moves the front-to-back moving assembly 3 to the right. Through the cooperation of the support plate 302, the second threaded rod 303, the second motor 304, and the second threaded sleeve 305, the sensor can move back and forth. The output shaft of the second motor 304 rotates, causing the second threaded rod 303 to rotate. When the second threaded rod 303 rotates, it moves the second threaded sleeve 305 along its surface. The movement of the second threaded sleeve 305 causes the support plate 302 to move back and forth, thus moving the sensor back and forth. Through the cooperation of the lateral moving assembly 2 and the front-to-back moving assembly 3, the calibration position of the sensor can be adjusted, thereby improving calibration efficiency.
