Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to steel cable lock cable force detection technical field, concretely relates to a kind of mixed excitation type magnetic flux sensor. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steel cable as the key load-bearing component of many large buildings and structures, its stress state is directly related to the safety and stability of the entire structure. When the cable force exceeds or is lower than the design standard, it may cause structural damage, and even lead to the collapse of infrastructure such as bridges. Therefore, regular accurate measurement of cable force is necessary to find potential problems and take preventive measures to avoid accidents. Cable force detection technology is mainly divided into two categories: direct detection methods that can intuitively and simply read data but may cause slight damage to the structure and affect its integrity, such as pressure sensor method, dynamometer method and hydraulic loading method; and indirect detection methods that do not damage the structure and have high repeatability, but the accuracy is limited by various factors and the data analysis process is complex and requires calibration, such as frequency method, acoustic wave method and magnetic flux method.
[0003] Among them, indirect detection methods often use sleeve type magnetic flux sensors or bypass type magnetic flux sensors for detection.
[0004] The sleeve type magnetic flux sensor is tightly fitted on the steel cable to ensure good contact between the sensor and the steel cable surface to obtain accurate data. However, the existing sleeve type magnetic flux sensor has the following problems:
[0005] (1) The diameter of medium-sized bridge cables generally reaches about 100 mm, and large-span cables can reach 300 mm. Since the bridge cables are fixed and cannot be removed, the installation of sleeve type sensors requires on-site winding, which is time-consuming and once installed, it is often not removed, and the cable force cannot be directly calibrated in service, which is not convenient for subsequent maintenance and use.
[0006] (2) Traditional magnetic flux sensors excite cables, and larger diameter cables require higher excitation voltage. High excitation voltage requires higher design requirements for instruments, and cannot guarantee the long-term effectiveness of the instrument.
[0007] The bypass type magnetic flux sensor uses a partially enclosed or open structure to sense magnetic field changes, but since the bypass type magnetic flux sensor is an open structure, it is affected by external magnetic fields during detection. For large diameter cables, the bypass structure excitation effect is not good, which can lead to low measurement accuracy.
[0008] In summary, the existing indirect detection related equipment needs to be improved to accurately and quickly detect the cable force of steel cable locks. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0009] The utility model provides a kind of mixed excitation magnetic flux sensor for the deficiencies of sleeve type magnetic flux sensor of indirect detection method, which is time-consuming to install, difficult to disassemble and unable to calibrate in service, and bypass type magnetic flux sensor is easily affected by external magnetic field during detection, with poor detection accuracy.

[0013] Further, the square yoke is provided with a notch matched with the cylindrical yoke, and a threaded hole communicating with the notch is provided at the top, and a screw is installed in the threaded hole;The cylindrical yoke is provided with a screw hole corresponding to the position of the threaded hole, and the screw passes through the threaded hole of the square yoke and the screw hole of the cylindrical yoke in sequence to complete the connection.
[0014] Further, the shell adopts a split design, which is composed of two half shells and connecting bolts; the two half shells are connected by the connecting bolts at the top and the bottom. When in use, the magnetizing mechanism is included inside the shell from both sides, and then the two half shells are connected by the connecting bolts to form a whole; the split design of the shell can directly wrap the magnetizing mechanism inside the shell from both sides, without the need for additional space or complex installation steps, facilitating the assembly of the device and subsequent maintenance and repair work.
[0015] Further, the half shell side is also provided with a wire outlet hole, and the two ends of the excitation coil respectively extend outward through the wire outlet hole. The design of the wire outlet hole facilitates the setting of the excitation coil and can facilitate subsequent use.
[0016] Use method:
[0017] The number of turns of the excitation coil can be adaptively designed according to the diameter of the steel cable. Since the bottom of the device is a permanent magnet, it can be adsorbed on the surface of the steel cable without the need for additional fixing devices. During detection, the number of magnetizing devices is selected according to the diameter of the steel cable, and the selected magnetizing devices are adsorbed on the steel cable in a circular manner by the permanent magnet. After the installation of the magnetizing device is completed, the flexible magnetic sensor is installed on the steel cable between the magnetizing devices. The magnetizing devices are extended to the outside of the shell and connected to the excitation coil, so that the magnetizing devices are connected together, and then the connected wire is connected to the magnetoelastic instrument. The excitation coil is excited, and since the steel cable has been magnetized by the permanent magnet, only a small signal excitation is needed for the excitation coil to fully magnetize the steel cable. Then the signal collected by the flexible magnetic sensor is transmitted to the personal computer for analysis by using the inductive signal collection device. The flexible magnetic sensor, the magnetoelastic instrument and the inductive signal collection device are all common equipment used in existing detection, so they will not be described here.
