CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2023102620506 filed on Mar. 17, 2023 and Chinese Patent Application No. 2024103015750 filed on Mar. 16, 2024. All the above are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to the field of sensor testing technology, and particularly to a base strain generating device and a base strain sensitivity testing system.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A piezoelectric accelerometer is an inertial sensor based on the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric sensing element. Its main components include a base, a piezoelectric sensing element and a mass block, and its structure includes two types: compression type and shear type.


When working, a piezoelectric accelerometer needs to be fixed on a measured object that is vibrating; at this time, a mass block will exert an alternating force on the piezoelectric sensing element. During the measurement process, the sensitive element of the compression type vibration sensor is placed directly on the sensor base, with face-to-face contact between them. Therefore, the deformation of the base caused by strain has a relatively large impact.


When the mounting surface of the piezoelectric accelerometer bends, the base of the piezoelectric accelerometer will produce strain, and the internal piezoelectric element will produce an electric polarization phenomenon due to the strain, and then erroneous output is produced. Therefore, a spurious response will occur under the base strain. The ratio of the acceleration value output by this response to the base strain is called base strain sensitivity.


According to the national standard GB/T 13823.6-1992 Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups-Testing of base strain sensitivity, one end of a 1500 mm×76 mm×12.5 mm steel beam is fixed as a strain beam. A vibration sensor is mounted at 40 mm from the fixed end of the strain beam, with its center line perpendicular to the surface of the strain beam. A force is applied to the free end of the strain beam to bend, causing the base of the accelerometer under test to produce a certain amount of bending stress E, then the strain beam is released to allow it to vibrate at its natural vibration frequency, and the accelerometer will produce an output acceleration a, and the maximum output amax is obtained by rotating the accelerometer around the mounting axis, and the base strain sensitivity is defined as:







S

=

.





The currently used method for measuring base strain sensitivity is to fix one end of the strain beam, apply a force to the free end to produce a specified base strain value at the place where the tested sensor is mounted, then release the strain beam to vibrate at its natural vibration frequency; or apply a steady-state excitation to the free end of the strain beam to bend the strain beam. However, the above two methods are to mount a tested sensor 40 mm away from the fixed end of the strain beam, which will cause the sensitive axis of the tested sensor to generate an additional acceleration component during vibration, affecting the measurement accuracy of the base strain sensitivity.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a base strain generating device and a base strain sensitivity testing system for the traditional solution that a tested sensor is mounted 40 mm away from the fixed end of the strain beam, which will cause the sensitive axis of the tested sensor to generate an additional acceleration component during vibration, affecting the measurement accuracy of the base strain sensitivity.

The present application relates to a base strain generating device and a base strain sensitivity testing system. The base strain generating device clamps the middle portion of a strain beam by arranging a clamping assembly, so that the position of a mounting structure is fixed, and a tested sensor arranged at the mounting structure does not generate an additional acceleration component due to the vibration of the strain beam. Meanwhile, two sets of magnetic circuit devices are arranged to provide sinusoidal excitation for the two ends of the strain beam respectively, so that the two ends of the strain beam swing in a reciprocating manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain rather than limit the present application.


The present application provides a base strain generating device 100 for detecting the base strain sensitivity of a tested sensor 300.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, in an embodiment of the present application, the base strain generating device 100 includes a base 110, a strain beam 120, a clamping assembly 130 and a magnetic circuit device 140.


The middle portion of the strain beam 120 is provided with a mounting structure 121 for fixedly mounting the tested sensor 300. The clamping assembly 130 is fixedly connected to the base 110 and is used for clamping the middle portion of the strain beam 120 so as to fix the position of the mounting structure 121. Two sets of magnetic circuit devices 140 are provided; the two sets of magnetic circuit devices 140 are fixedly connected to the base 110 respectively, wherein two ends of the strain beam 120 are provided with one set of magnetic circuit devices 140 respectively; the magnetic circuit devices 140 are used for providing sinusoidal excitation for the end portions of the strain beam 120 so as to enable the two ends of the strain beam 120 to swing, and the direction of the sinusoidal excitation is parallel to the direction of a sensitive axis of the tested sensor 300.


Specifically, the tested sensor 300 may be a piezoelectric accelerometer.


In this embodiment, the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is clamped by arranging the clamping assembly 130, so that the position of the mounting structure 121 is fixed, and the tested sensor 300 arranged at the mounting structure 121 does not generate an additional acceleration component due to the vibration of the strain beam 120. Meanwhile, two sets of magnetic circuit devices 140 are arranged to provide sinusoidal excitation for the two ends of the strain beam 120 respectively, so that the two ends of the strain beam 120 swing in a reciprocating manner. Furthermore, by controlling the magnitude and frequency of the sinusoidal excitation, vibration with stable amplitude can be generated, and then the base strain sensitivity under different frequencies or different base strains is measured. By adoption of the technical solution, the mounting position of the tested sensor 300 does not generate displacement, then the tested sensor 300 does not have additional acceleration output, and the measurement precision of the base strain sensitivity is improved.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the spacing between the two sets of magnetic circuit devices 140 and the mounting structure 121 is equal in the length direction of the strain beam 120.


In this embodiment, by arranging two sets of magnetic circuit devices 140, the same sinusoidal excitation is applied to both ends of the strain beam 120 at the same time, so that both sides of the base of the tested sensor 300 are subjected to a uniform bending force; thus the base generates uniform strain and the measurement accuracy is improved.


As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 130 and the middle portion of the strain beam 120 are clamped with each other in a line contact mode.


In this embodiment, the purpose of arrangement of line contact is to clamp the strain beam 120 without affecting the bending change of the middle portion of the strain beam 120.


As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the mounting structure 121 is arranged to be a mounting hole site. The mounting hole site penetrates through the strain beam 120. The central axis of the mounting hole site is parallel to the direction of sinusoidal excitation. When a tested sensor 300 is fixedly mounted in the mounting hole site, the sensitive axis of the tested sensor 300 coincides with the central axis of the mounting hole site.


In this embodiment, the tested sensor 300 is fixed by using a mounting hole site, and through the matching between the threaded hole of the tested sensor 300 and the mounting hole site on the strain beam 120, and mounting with fastening screws, the mounting structure is simple and does not affect the deformation of the strain beam 120; and the base of the tested sensor 300 is in direct contact with the strain beam 120, so that the deformation of the strain beam 120 can be better transmitted to the base of the tested sensor 300, improving the measurement accuracy of the base strain of the tested sensor 300.


Certainly, the specific form of the mounting structure 121 is not limited, clamping or jamming, etc. can be adopted so that the base of the tested sensor 300 can be in sufficient contact with the strain beam 120.


In an embodiment of the present application, a plurality of mounting structures 121 can be provided in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the strain beam 120 to detect multiple tested sensors 300 simultaneously.


As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 130 includes a frame 131, a fixed rod 132 and a movable screw 134.


The frame 131 includes a bottom plate 131a and an overhanging arm 131b. The bottom plate 131a is fixedly arranged on the base 110. The fixed rod 132 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 131a. The top surface of the fixed rod 132 is opposite to the bottom surface of the strain beam 120, and a gap is formed between the top surface of the fixed rod 132 and the bottom surface of the strain beam 120.


A movable screw 134 is screwed to the overhanging arm 131b. The mounting direction of the movable screw 134 coincides with the central axis of the fixed rod 132 and is perpendicular to and intersects with the central axis of the mounting hole site. The bottom surface of the movable screw 134 is opposite to the top surface of the strain beam 120, and a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the movable screw 134 and the top surface of the strain beam 120.


When the movable screw 134 is rotated, the movable screw 134 and the fixed rod 132 approach each other, so that the strain beam 120 is clamped between the movable screw 134 and the fixed rod 132.


In this embodiment, the fixed rod 132 and the movable screw 134 are provided to limit the position on both sides of strain beam 120 respectively; by limiting the relative position between the central axis of the movable screw 134 and the fixed rod 132 and the central axis of the mounting hole site, the mounting hole site will not produce displacement caused by the vibration at both ends of the strain beam 120, thus the sensitive axis of the tested sensor 300 will not generate additional acceleration components.


As shown in FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, a first positioning groove 122 is formed in the top surface of the strain beam 120, and a first conical portion 134a is arranged at the end, close to the strain beam 120, of the movable screw 134. The minimum diameter of the first conical portion 134a is smaller than the inner diameter of the first positioning groove 122, and the maximum diameter of the first conical portion 134a is larger than the inner diameter of the first positioning groove 122. When the strain beam 120 is clamped, at least part of the first conical portion 134a is inserted into the first positioning groove 122.


A second positioning groove 123 is formed in the bottom surface of the strain beam 120, and a second conical portion 132a is arranged at the end, close to the strain beam 120, of the fixed rod 13. The minimum diameter of the second conical portion 132a is smaller than the inner diameter of the second positioning groove 123, and the maximum diameter of the second conical portion 132a is larger than the inner diameter of the second positioning groove 123. When the strain beam 120 is clamped, at least part of the second conical portion 132a is inserted into the second positioning groove 123.


In this embodiment, through the matching between the first conical portion 134a and the first positioning groove 122, and the matching between the second conical portion 132a and the second positioning groove 123, both the movable screw 134 and the fixed rod 132 are in line contact with the strain beam 120, so that the influence of the clamping assembly 130 on the bending of the strain beam 120 is reduced as much as possible.


As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly 130 includes a first T-shaped steel 135, a second T-shaped steel 136, a plurality of first arc-shaped pieces 138b, a plurality of second arc-pieces shaped 138c and a supporting block 138d.


The first T-shaped steel 135 includes a first horizontal section 136a and a first vertical section 136b which are fixedly connected to each other.


The second T-shaped steel 136 includes a second horizontal section 137a and a second vertical section 137b which are fixedly connected to each other. The first horizontal section 136a and the second horizontal section 137a are arranged oppositely, and a spacing is formed between the first horizontal section 136a and the second horizontal section 137a. The first vertical section 136b and the second vertical section 137b are arranged oppositely, and a spacing is formed between the first vertical section 136b and the second vertical section 137b.


The sealing plate 138a covers the top surface of the first vertical section 136b and the top surface of the second vertical section 137b, and the sealing plate 138a is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first vertical section 136b and the top surface of the second vertical section 137b respectively.


A plurality of the first arc-shaped pieces 138b are fixedly connected to the surface, close to the second vertical section 137b, of the first vertical section 136b. A plurality of second arc-shaped pieces 138c are fixedly connected to the surface, close to the first vertical section 136b, of the second vertical section 137b. Each first arc-shaped piece 138b is provided with one second arc-shaped piece 138 which is arranged opposite to the first arc-shaped piece, and the first arc-shaped pieces 138b and the second arc-shaped pieces 138c, which are oppositely arranged, are located on the same horizontal plane.


The supporting block 138d is arranged between the first T-shaped steel 135 and the second T-shaped steel 136. A first spacing is formed between the first horizontal section 136a and the supporting block 138d, and a second spacing is formed between the second horizontal section 137a and the supporting block 138d.


When the clamping assembly is in a use state, the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is clamped between the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c, and the bottom of the strain beam 120 abuts against the top surface of the supporting block 138d, so that the supporting block 138d supports the strain beam 120.


Specifically, the first T-shaped steel 135 may be No. 45 steel, and the second T-shaped steel 136 may be No. 45 steel. No. 45 steel is a high-quality carbon structural steel. It is a medium-carbon steel with a carbon content of more than 0.4%. It has low hardness and is easy to machine.


When the clamping assembly 130 is in a use state, four arc-shaped pieces are in contact with the strain beam 120 to form line contact. The arc-shaped pieces are configured as a sheet-like structure with arc-shaped edges. Alternatively, the shape of the arc-shaped pieces can be half of a circular piece, i.e., a semi-circular piece.


In this embodiment, the arc-shaped pieces are configured as a sheet-like structure with arc-shaped edges instead of a cylinder or other shape, which can facilitate to reach into the interior of the clamping assembly 130 with hands to disassemble the tested sensor 300 arranged on the middle portion of the strain beam 120.


It should be noted that the first spacing may be equal to the second spacing. However, during actual use of the base strain generating device, when the clamping assembly 130 and the strain beam 120 are clamped, since the position of the second T-shaped steel 136 is fine-tuned, the second spacing is not equal to the second spacing from a microscopic perspective, but the first spacing and the second spacing are not much different, and the difference is in millimeters.


As shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly also includes a groove 139a and a supporting bead 139b.


The groove 139a is formed in the top surface of a supporting block 138d. The supporting bead 139b is embedded into the groove 139a. The groove face of the groove 139a is matched with the supporting bead 139b in shape.


When the clamping assembly 130 is in a use state, the top of the supporting bead 139b makes point contact with the bottom surface of a strain beam 120, and the bottom of the supporting bead 139b makes surface contact with the groove face of the groove 139a, so that the supporting block 138d supports the strain beam 120.


In this embodiment, by arranging the groove 139a and the supporting bead 139b, when the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is clamped, under the synergistic effect of the supporting bead 139b and supporting block 138d, the strain beam 120 is supported, and the bending change of the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is not affected.


As shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment of the present application, the clamping assembly further includes a tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c.


The tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c is arranged on the side, away from the first vertical section 136b, of the second vertical section 137b.


When the first T-shaped steel 135 is tightened and fixed to the base 110, and the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is arranged between the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c, the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c moves in the direction close to the second T-shaped steel 136 and is tightened, and the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c abuts against the second vertical section 137b, so that the second arc-shaped piece 138c abuts against the middle portion of the strain beam 120, and the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c clamp the middle portion of the strain beam 120.


Specifically, the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c is of a plate-like structure.


The first horizontal section 136a of the first T-shaped steel 135 is provided with a plurality of circular through holes, and the first T-shaped steel 135 is connected to the base via a bolt through the circular through holes.


The supporting block 138d is provided with a plurality of circular through holes, and the supporting block 138d is connected to the base via a bolt through the circular through holes.


The second T-shaped steel 136 is provided with a plurality of bolt adjusting through holes 137c. The bolt adjusting through holes 137c are of strip shape. The bolts can be slid and adjusted along the length direction of the bolt adjusting through hole 137c within the length and size range of the bolt adjusting holes, to fine-adjust the arrangement position of the second T-shaped steel 136. The length direction of the bolt adjusting through hole 137c is equal to the direction in which the second T-shaped steel 136 approaches or moves away from the supporting block 138d.


The tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c is provided with a plurality of circular through holes. The clamping assembly also includes a plurality of screws used in conjunction with the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c. Each screw is inserted into a circular through hole of the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c. By tightening these screws, the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c gradually approaches the second T-shaped steel 136, until the ends of these screws abut against the surface of the second vertical section 137b, so that the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c bears against the second horizontal section 137a, thus allowing the second T-shaped steel 136 together with the second arc-shaped piece 138c to move closer to the strain beam 120, and the second arc-shaped piece 138c bears against the strain beam 120, allowing the strain beam 120 to be clamped by the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c.


During mounting, the supporting block 138d is connected to the base 110 via a bolt, and the position is fixed.


The detailed operating steps for clamping the clamping assembly 130 and the strain beam 120 in this embodiment are as follows:


S100, determine the relative position of the first T-shaped steel 135 and the supporting block 138d. After determination, tighten the bolts of the first T-shaped steel 135 so that the first T-shaped steel 135 is fastened to the base 110, and tighten the bolts of the supporting block 138d so that the first T-shaped steel 135 is fastened to the base 110. By fastening the first T-shaped steel 135 and the supporting block 138d, a positional benchmark is provided as a reference for subsequent fine-tuning of the position of the second T-shaped steel 136.


S200, insert the bolt into the bolt adjusting through hole 137c of the second T-shaped steel 136, but the bolt is not tightened.


S300, place the strain beam 120 between the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c, and adjust the position centrally so that the middle portion of the strain beam 120 is located between the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c, and the bottom surface of the strain beam 120 abuts against the top of the supporting bead 139b. Alternatively, there are two first arc-shaped pieces 138b and two second arc-shaped pieces 138c.


S400, tighten the screws of the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c toward the second T-shaped steel 136, so that the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c bears against the second vertical section 137b of the second T-shaped steel 136, and the tightening auxiliary mechanism 139c bears against the second T-shaped steel 136, and thus the second arc-shaped piece 138c on the second T-shaped steel 136 can bear against the strain beam 120, and the strain beam 120 is clamped between the first arc-shaped piece 138b and the second arc-shaped piece 138c. At this time, the second T-shaped steel 136 will produce fine position adjustment in the direction A. S500, tighten the bolt in the bolt adjusting through hole 137c of the second T-shaped steel 136 to fix the position of the second T-shaped steel 136.


As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in an embodiment of the present application, the magnetic circuit module includes a first magnet 143a, a second magnet 143b, a coil bobbin 145a, a yoke 144 and a drive coil 146.
