Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor calibration technology, specifically a mobile six-component force sensor calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] The wheel six-component force sensor is a high-precision sensor used to measure radial force, lateral force, tangential force, rolling torque, rollover torque and overturning torque of a tire under combined working conditions. It can sensitively capture the dynamic force and torque changes of the tire under various working conditions, thereby analyzing the dynamic mechanical performance of the tire.

[0003] Since wheel force sensors are frequently used in dynamic testing, their accuracy can change over time. Current technology involves disassembling the force sensor and calibrating it on a designated calibration platform. However, after disassembling and reassembling many six-component force sensors used on test benches, the change in their mechanical position can affect the accuracy of the measurement data. As the sensor is a high-precision component, disassembly and movement pose a risk of collision. Furthermore, the sensor is heavy, requiring a specific hoisting mechanism on-site for manual operation. Frequent disassembly can cause wear on the sensor mounting points, affecting installation accuracy and thus reducing test accuracy.

[0004] Based on this, a mobile six-component force sensor calibration device is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5As shown, a mobile six-component force sensor calibration device includes a calibration frame 100. The upper and lower ends of the calibration frame 100 are fixedly connected to a fixing plate 101. The fixing plate 101 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 102 via a fixing mechanism. The mounting plate 102 is fixedly connected to a six-component force test bench by bolts. A pressure-applying component is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100. The pressure-applying component is fixedly connected to a fixing block 103. A six-component force sensor 200 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 103. The pressure-applying component is equipped with a detection unit for calibrating the six-component force sensor. The calibration frame is fixedly connected to the six-component force test bench via the fixing mechanism, and the six-component force sensor 200 is fixed to the calibration frame. The six-component force sensor can be installed on the six-component force sensor bench without disassembling it, avoiding accuracy degradation caused by installation errors and wear caused by repeated disassembly. This achieves portability. During calibration, pressure is applied to the six-component force sensor 200 by the pressure-applying component. The detection unit detects the pressure and compares it with the detection result of the six-component force sensor 200 to perform calibration.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-4 As shown, the pressure-applying component includes an X-axis sliding sleeve 301, a Y-axis sliding sleeve 302, and a Z-axis sliding sleeve 303. The X-axis sliding sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100 along the X-axis direction, the Y-axis sliding sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100 along the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis sliding sleeve 303 is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100 along the Z-axis direction. A sliding block 304 is slidably connected to each of the X-axis sliding sleeve 301, Y-axis sliding sleeve 302, and Z-axis sliding sleeve 303. The sliding block 304 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic rod 305, and the output end of the hydraulic rod 305 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 103. The moving sleeve 301, the Y-axis sliding sleeve 302, and the Z-axis sliding sleeve 303 are all provided with sliding grooves 306 at the ends away from the calibration frame 100. Limiting blocks 307 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 306. Limiting modules for limiting the limiting blocks 307 are provided in the sliding grooves 306 to fix the six-component force sensor 200. The limiting blocks 307 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 306. Pressure is applied to the fixed block 103 by hydraulic rods 305 in the X, Y, and Z directions. The sliding block 304 slides in the X-axis sliding sleeve 301, the Y-axis sliding sleeve 302, and the Z-axis sliding sleeve 303, and applies force to the detection unit to perform calibration.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the limiting module includes two locking blocks 401. The locking blocks 401 are slidably connected in the locking slots 402 in the sliding groove 306. A spring 403 is provided in the locking slot 402. One end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected to the locking block 401, and the other end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected to the locking slot 402. When the limiting block 307 is slid into the sliding groove 306, the locking block 401 will retract into the locking slot 402 and compress the spring 403. When the limiting block 307 moves into place, the locking block 401 will reset under the action of the spring 403, thus fixing the limiting block 307.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the detection unit includes a pressure sensor 501. A fixing groove 502 is provided on the limiting block 307 of the X-axis sliding sleeve 301. The pressure sensor 501 is fixedly connected in the fixing groove 502. The pressure sensor 501 is electrically connected to a sensor display 503, which is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100. The pressure sensor 501 is fixed in the fixing groove 502 on the limiting block 307. A hydraulic rod 305 in the X-axis sliding sleeve 301 extends out as an output rod, causing a sliding block 304 to slide within the X-axis sliding sleeve 301 and contact the surface of the pressure sensor 501. This allows the pressure sensor 501 to detect the force applied to the fixing block 103 by the hydraulic rod 305, thus completing the X-axis detection. The sliding block 304 on the X-axis sliding sleeve 301 is then replaced with the sliding blocks 304 on the Y-axis sliding sleeve 302 and the Z-axis sliding sleeve 303, respectively, to detect along the Y and Z axes.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the fixing mechanism includes four insertion pins 601, which are slidably connected to corresponding insertion holes 611 on the fixing plate 101 and the mounting plate 102. Each insertion pin 601 has a through hole 602, and an annular protrusion 603 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the through hole 602. A limiting rod 604 is slidably connected to the through hole 602. One end of the limiting rod 604 is fixedly connected to a button 605, and the other end of the limiting rod 604 has a limiting groove 606. A second spring 607 is provided at the outer end of the limiting rod 604. One end of the second spring 607 is fixedly connected to the button 605, and the other end of the second spring 607 is fixedly connected to the annular protrusion 603. Two spheres 608 are provided at the limiting groove 606. The insertion post 601 is provided with a movable groove 609 that mates with the spheres 608. The surface of the insertion hole 611 is provided with a movable groove 610 that mates with the spheres 608. When installing the calibration frame 100, the insertion post 601 is inserted into the insertion hole 611. The spheres 608 mate with the movable groove 610, thereby fixing the calibration frame 100 to the mounting plate 102. When disassembly is required, the button 605 is pressed. The button 605 moves the limiting rod 604 downward and compresses the spring 607. The spheres 608 retract into the limiting groove 606, and the insertion post 601 can be pulled out, thereby removing the calibration frame 100.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hydraulic rod 305 is electrically connected to the manual hydraulic regulator 700, which is fixedly connected to the calibration frame 100. The manual hydraulic regulator 700 adjusts the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic rod 305, thereby adjusting the force acting on the six-component force sensor 200, and thus calibrating the six-component force sensor 200.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the four insertion posts 601 are evenly distributed on the fixing plate 101, making the calibration frame more stably fixed to the six-component force test bench and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the calibration frame 100 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and easy to operate manually.

[0033] The above embodiment discloses a mobile six-component force sensor calibration device. When installing the calibration frame 100, the insertion post 601 is inserted into the insertion hole 611, and the ball 608 cooperates with the movable groove 610, thereby fixing the calibration frame 100 to the mounting plate 102. When disassembly is required, pressing the button 605 causes the limit rod 604 to move downwards and compresses the spring 607. The ball 608 retracts into the limit groove 606, allowing the insertion post 601 to be pulled out, thus removing the calibration frame 100. When calibrating the six-component force sensor 200, the X-axis sliding sleeve 3 is controlled by the manual hydraulic adjuster 700. On 01, the hydraulic rod 305 extends out as an output rod, causing the sliding block 304 to slide in the X-axis sliding sleeve 301 and contact the surface of the pressure sensor 501. This allows the pressure sensor 501 to detect the force applied by the hydraulic rod 305 to the fixed block 103, thus completing the X-axis detection. The sliding block 304 on the X-axis sliding sleeve 301 is then replaced with the sliding blocks 304 on the Y-axis sliding sleeve 302 and the Z-axis sliding sleeve 303, respectively, to detect the Y-axis and Z-axis directions. The detected data is displayed on the sensor display 503. The calibration frame 100 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and easy to operate manually.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
