Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a force testing device, specifically a strap tension force testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of bundling and packaging, the tightening force is generally used to characterize the securing force applied to items during the bundling process, and its magnitude directly affects the packaging effect. Appropriate tightening force ensures that items will not loosen or scatter during transportation and storage, thus protecting the integrity and safety of the items. Insufficient tightening force will result in loose bundling, affecting the securing effect; excessive tightening force may cause the straps to break, resulting in the bundle coming apart.

[0003] Adjusting the tension force to an appropriate value varies depending on the machine model or baling tool. For example, the tension force of a fully automatic baler can be adjusted via a dial on the machine core, while the tension force of a pneumatic baler can be controlled via a flow valve. Since the tension force is achieved by the baler or baling tool applying tension to the strapping, a strapping tension testing device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to address the problems and needs in the background art, this utility model provides a strapping tension testing device, which can be used to test the maximum force that a baler or baling tool can generate and act on the strapping, as well as its adjustment capability.

[0009] The fixed roller is provided with an outwardly extending protrusion for limiting the strapping.

[0010] The width of the fixed roller is greater than the width of the strap.

[0011] The floating roller assembly includes a roller mounting base, a floating roller, a floating roller bearing, and a floating roller shaft. The roller mounting base is fixedly connected to the slider of the slider guide pair. One end of the roller mounting base near the force sensor is fixedly connected to the force sensor.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the strap tension testing device proposed in this utility model includes a base 1, a fixed roller assembly 2, and the fixed roller assembly 2 is installed at one end of the base 1; it also includes a slider guide rail pair 6, which is installed at the other end of the base 1, and the sliding direction of the slider guide rail pair 6 is towards or away from the fixed roller assembly 2; it also includes a floating roller assembly 5, which is fixedly connected to the slider of the slider guide rail pair 6, and the floating function is achieved by the sliding of the slider. The rotation axis of the floating roller assembly 5 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider guide rail pair 6; the base 1 is hollow inside to reserve the installation position of the force sensor and sensor connection accessories; it also includes a force sensor 3, the two ends of which are connected to the fixed roller assembly 2 and the floating roller assembly 5 respectively through corresponding sensor connection accessories 4. The installation center or force center of the fixed roller assembly 2, the floating roller assembly 5 and the force sensor 3 are located on the same straight line, and the center line of the slider guide rail pair 6 is also located on this straight line. It also includes a display instrument 7, which is connected to the force sensor 3 and is used to display the value of the force sensor 3. The strapping 8 is wrapped around the floating roller assembly 5 and the fixed roller assembly 2 in sequence. The strapping 8 is arranged at intervals with the base 1 and the force sensor 3, that is, there is no contact between them.

[0021] The fixed roller assembly 2 includes a fixed roller, a fixed roller bearing, and a fixed roller shaft. The two fixed roller bearings are arranged vertically and spaced apart in one end of the base 1. The fixed roller and the fixed roller shaft are coaxially fixed. The two ends of the fixed roller shaft are installed in the two fixed roller bearings, so that the fixed roller is embedded in one end of the base 1.

[0022] The fixed roller is provided with an outwardly extending 45-degree protrusion for limiting the strap 8, so that the strap 8 can be stably wound on the fixed roller.

[0023] The floating roller assembly 5 includes a roller mounting base, a floating roller, a floating roller bearing, and a floating roller shaft. The roller mounting base is fixedly connected to the slider of the slider guide pair 6. The end of the roller mounting base near the force sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the force sensor 3 through a corresponding sensor connection accessory 4. A floating roller bearing is installed in the end of the roller mounting base near the force sensor 3. The two floating roller bearings are arranged vertically at intervals. The floating roller and the floating roller shaft are coaxially fixed. The two ends of the floating roller shaft are installed in the two floating roller bearings, so that the floating roller is embedded in the roller mounting base.

[0024] The width of the fixed roller is slightly larger than the width of the strap 8. In this embodiment, the width of the fixed roller is 36mm, which is slightly wider than the measured strap width of 32mm.

[0025] The slider guide pair 6 will have a certain resistance when it moves, about 15N. The ratio of this resistance to the rated range of the force sensor 3 (49KN) is 0.3‰. The nonlinear error of the force sensor 3 is ±5‰. The overall measurement accuracy of the device is Class 1 or above (including Class 1).

[0026] The display instrument 7 is matched with the force sensor 3. The sampling frequency of the display instrument 7 is 1000 times / second, and the measurement error is ±5‰. The display instrument 7 has a zeroing function, and the displayed value can stabilize within 3 seconds.

[0027] When using the device, place it on the strapping tension testing frame of the baler or on the strapping tightening path of the baling tool, ensuring that the fixed roller, floating roller, and strapping are aligned. After securing the device, power it on and reset the reading on display instrument 7 to zero. Once preparation is complete, start the baler or baling tool, allowing the strapping to gradually tighten and grip the fixed and floating rollers. Record the instrument readings during this process until the entire test is completed. When measuring static data such as the maximum value, wait until the value displayed on display instrument 7 stabilizes before reading it. Because the tension force of the strapping is doubled during the tightening process, divide the recorded instrument reading by 2 to obtain the actual value.
