Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a testing machine for looseness of a bolt transverse load, and more particularly, relates to a closed-loop control method based on a testing machine for accurately controlling looseness of a bolt transverse load.


BACKGROUND

For bolted connection, the main reason for looseness is: when the bolt bears transverse (perpendicular to the bolt axis) vibration load, with the increase of the vibration force, a friction coefficient between bolt pairs is even decreased to zero, thereby damaging self-locking condition of the thread, generating slight relative slide and causing automatic rotation and looseness of the nut. In some extreme cases, the looseness of the transverse load may decrease the bolt preload by 30%-40%. The testing machine for the looseness of the transverse load can be used to research a looseness law under the condition that the bolt bears horizontal alternating load, and is very useful for researching the looseness problem of bolted connection.


The present invention is based on the testing machine for accurately controlling the looseness of the transverse load bolt. A load control part is added on the testing machine for accurately controlling the looseness of the transverse load on the basis of an original testing machine for looseness of Junker transverse load bolt, so as to better control the transverse load.


1. Ensuring Transverse Displacement Load


For the previous testing machine for looseness of the transverse load bolt, the testing machine can only provide a transverse displacement load. If the displacement load is required to be changed, the mechanical structure of the testing machine must be changed, which is high in cost and is difficult. It can be known from FIG. 1 that a fixed x value corresponds to a unique y value. Through rotation of the load control motor 17, the screw rod 16 is driven so as to drive the slide table 18 to move up and down. Namely, displacement is produced at the end of the rocking bar 20. If the x value is changed, the maximum amplitude of the generated transverse displacement is also changed. Each position at the end of the rocking bar 20 represents the maximum amplitude of one transverse displacement. A desired transverse displacement can be obtained through the control motor 17.


2. Ensuring Transverse Force Load


When the testing machine provides a transverse displacement amplitude, a transverse force load will be generated simultaneously. Along with the occurrence of looseness, the transverse force load generated by the fixed transverse displacement is gradually decreased. At this moment, if a fixed transverse force load needs to be unchanged, the generated transverse displacement amplitude shall be gradually increased. At this moment, the control motor increases the generated transverse displacement load until the force measured by an S-shaped column type tension sensor reaches a predetermined value.


How to control the above test bench to enable the test bench to achieve expected functions becomes a technical problem which must be solved in the art. Accurate control over the transverse load can be realized only based on an appropriate control method and control program.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Specific embodiment of the present invention is further described below in combination with accompanying drawings and the technical solution.


The testing machine for accurately controlling loosening of a bolt transverse load is direct in generation of the displacement load, i.e., through transfer of the displacement. In feedback regulation, the displacement is adjusted through change feedback of displacement signals. The overall process involves the relationship among the displacements. Control is relatively simple. For force load, the force load is produced through a displacement load actually, and is fed back into a force signal; and the force signal is analyzed to adjust the displacement. Therefore, the entire process is complicated and the law is more difficult to grasp.


1. Transverse Displacement Load Control Method


A required displacement load amplitude A1, an adjusted threshold ΔA and an error allowable value e are inputted firstly. The load control motor 17 starts to operate if a difference between the practical transverse displacement load amplitude A and A1 reaches the adjusted threshold ΔA, until the difference between the practical transverse displacement load amplitude A and A1 is less than the error allowable value e.


Two groups of experiments shall be conducted before a control program is started to obtain reference data. Firstly, a loosening tendency is estimated in combination with a loosening law curve, and a slope k-value of a curve is a direct response of the tendency of the curve. Because different bolts may have different loosening laws, before an experiment is made, a loosening law curve of a specimen bolt under the condition of not adjusting the load is made as reference, and a change law curve of the corresponding transverse displacement load amplitude is recorded; secondly, as loosening occurs, the practical transverse displacement load amplitude may gradually deviate from an expected displacement load amplitude A1, and because of loosening instability, the deviation is also unstable. Therefore, for the purpose of stability and high efficiency in the control process, an adjusted threshold ΔA is needed. Once the deviation reaches the adjusted threshold ΔA, adjustment is made. But because of instability in the loosening process, the adjustment quantity of the load control motor each time is different. Thus, a second group of reference experiment is needed. The experiment of adjusting the transverse load is made to the bolt specimen: in the process of applying the transverse load, times t1, t2 . . . tn are selected uniformly in a interval [0,tn]; the loosening process is divided into n intervals, i.e., [0, t1], [t1, t2] . . . [tn-1, tn], wherein tn is a time at which the loosening curve tends to be steady; at times t1, t2 . . . tn, the displacement is changed by the load control motor 17 so that the variation of the displacement load amplitude measured by the S-shaped column type displacement sensor 8 is ΔA; the corresponding variation ΔXi of the displacement of the load control motor 17 is recorded; and ΔX1, ΔX2 . . . ΔXn and i∈[1,n] are recorded;


when the spacer type displacement sensor (29) collects bolt preload and displacement signals, the change rate

t







of bolt preload and displacement is analyzed, i.e., a slope of a real-time loosening curve; the larger the slope is, the faster the loosening is; the real-time loosening curve is compared with a previously measured loosening law curve so as to estimate the change of the transverse displacement load of a next stage in combination with the loosening law curve and the change law curve of the transverse displacement load amplitude, thereby estimating a time interval Tx of the change ΔA of the transverse displacement load. i.e., the variation of the transverse displacement load amplitude is less than the threshold ΔA within the time Tx from this moment; the transverse load is not required to be adjusted; and judgment is made to obtain a interval of the transverse load at this moment so as to correspondingly select ΔXx.


After the suspension time Tx of the closed-loop control program, the load control motor is adjusted by one step to generate displacement change ΔXx; the transverse displacement load is changed by ΔA; and at this moment, the difference between the transverse loads A and A1 is small. But further precision processing is needed because more or less errors may appear during actual operation under the condition that previous adjustment is based on estimation and adjustment in combination with the law curves and the change law curve of the transverse displacement load amplitude. Therefore, transverse displacement load signals shall be collected, and peak detection is conducted on the periodical transverse displacement load signals collected by the current vortex displacement sensor (3) to acquire the practical displacement load amplitude A;


If |A1−A|<e at this moment, this step of adjustment is completed; if |A1−A|>e, next step of fine adjustment is conducted to gradually approach A1. During fine adjustment, because the difference between the transverse loads A and A1 is small, the stability of the transverse load is relatively better during adjustment. Meanwhile, k values of preload and displacement signals

are collected for comparison, to estimate the time interval Tx required for the reduction ΔA of the next transverse displacement load; and then circulation is continued, so that the difference between the actual displacement load amplitude and the ideal displacement amplitude is always kept within an allowable scope ΔA, thereby ensuring accuracy of the displacement load.


2. Transverse Force Load Control Method


When loosening occurs, the transverse displacement to be loaded for the same force load will be gradually increased. The force load converted by the displacement generated by the motor will gradually deviate from the expected force load amplitude F1. To stabilize the force load at F1, the displacement generated at the load generating end shall be increased. FIG. 3 shows the change of the bolt preload when the bolt connection bears the transverse load, and visually displays the loosening law when the bolt connection bears the transverse load. It can be seen that the loosening speed is varied when the bolt is loosened. If the entire system is adjusted once every the same time period, due to the difference of the loosening speed, the displacement to be adjusted is also different. For example, at the initial stage of the second stage of loosening, loosening is fast during a short time and the change of the transverse force load is large. Therefore, if the transverse force load needs to be adjusted rapidly and the force load is maintained to be stable, the loosening law shall be considered.


A required force load amplitude F1, an adjusted threshold ΔF and an error allowable value e are inputted firstly. The load control motor 17 starts to operate if a difference between the practical transverse force load amplitudes F and F1 reaches the adjusted threshold ΔF, until the difference between the practical transverse force load amplitudes F and F1 is less than the error allowable value e.


Two groups of experiments shall be conducted before a control program is started to obtain reference data. Firstly, a loosening tendency is estimated in combination with a loosening law curve, and a slope k-value of a curve is a direct response of the tendency of the curve. Because different bolts may have different loosening laws, before an experiment is made, a loosening law curve of a specimen bolt under the condition of not adjusting the load is made as reference, and a change law curve of the corresponding transverse force load amplitude is recorded; secondly, as loosening occurs, the practical transverse force load amplitude may gradually deviate from an expected force load amplitude F1, and because of loosening instability, the deviation is also unstable. Therefore, for the purpose of stability and high efficiency in the control process, an adjusted threshold ΔF is needed. Once the deviation reaches the adjusted threshold ΔF, adjustment is made. But because of instability in the loosening process, the adjustment quantity of the load control motor each time is different. Thus, a second group of reference experiment is needed. The experiment of adjusting the transverse load is made to the bolt specimen: in the process of applying the transverse load, times t1, t2 . . . tn are selected uniformly in a interval [0,tn]; the loosening process is divided into n intervals, i.e., [0, t1], [t1, t2] . . . [tn-1, tn], wherein tn is a time at which the loosening curve tends to be steady; at times t1, t2 . . . tn, the displacement is changed by the load control motor 17 so that the variation of the force load amplitude measured by the S-shaped column type pressure sensor 8 is ΔF; the corresponding variation ΔXi of the displacement of the load control motor 17 is recorded; and ΔX1, ΔX2 . . . ΔXn and i∈[1,n] are recorded;

of bolt preload is analyzed, i.e., a slope of a real-time loosening curve; the larger the slope is, the faster the loosening is; the real-time loosening curve is compared with a previously measured loosening law curve so as to estimate the change of the transverse force load of a next stage in combination with the loosening law curve and the change law curve of the transverse force load amplitude, thereby estimating a time interval Tx of the change ΔF of the transverse force load. i.e., the variation of the transverse force load amplitude is less than the threshold ΔF within the time Tx from this moment; the transverse load is not required to be adjusted; and judgment is made to obtain a interval of the transverse load at this moment so as to correspondingly select ΔXx.


After the suspension time Tx of the closed-loop control program, the load control motor is adjusted by one step to generate displacement change ΔXx; the transverse force load is changed by ΔF; and at this moment, the difference between the transverse loads F and F1 is small. But further precision processing is needed because more or less errors may appear during actual operation under the condition that previous adjustment is based on estimation and adjustment in combination with the law curves and the change law curve of the transverse force load amplitude. Therefore, transverse force load signals shall be collected, and peak detection is conducted on the periodical transverse force load signals collected by the S-shaped column type pressure sensor 8 to acquire the practical force load amplitude F;


If |F1−F|<e at this moment, this step of adjustment is completed; if |F1−F|>e, next step of fine adjustment is conducted to gradually approach F1. During fine adjustment, because the difference between the transverse loads F and F1 is small, the stability of the transverse load is relatively better during adjustment.
