Abstract

The present invention relates to a high-precision sensing pushrod, comprising a housing, a first sensing element, a second sensing element, a fixed post, a connecting shaft, and a contact block. The high-precision sensing pushrod of the present invention contacts a test object directly through the contact block to fully and accurately convey the vibration state of the test object. This design can: 1. avoid interference between different signals caused by the reaction force generated when the first and second sensing elements traditionally contact the test object directly, thereby eliminating measurement errors and achieving high-precision micro-vibration detection; and 2. actively or passively suppress the vibration of the test object to achieve precise force and displacement control.

Claims (19)

1 . A high-precision sensing pushrod, comprising:

a housing;

a first sensing element configured within the housing;

a second sensing element configured within the housing;

a fixed post for securing the first sensing element;

a connecting shaft, wherein one end of the connecting shaft is connected to the first sensing element; and

a contact block configured at the other end of the connecting shaft;

wherein the second sensing element is connected to the connecting shaft, positioned between the first sensing element and the contact block through the connecting shaft, and affixed to the contact block;

wherein the contact block is designed to directly contact a test object, to avoid an impact of a reaction force generated when the first sensing element and the second sensing element directly contact the test object, thereby enabling the first sensing element and second sensing element to achieve high-precision detection of micro-vibrations of the test object through the contact block.

2 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 1 , wherein the contact block is made of a material with shock-absorbing characteristics, and one surface of the contact block can partially absorb vibrations transmitted from the test object when the contact block contacts the test object.

3 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 1 , wherein the first sensing element is a force sensor.

4 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 1 , wherein the second sensing element is an accelerometer.

5 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 1 , wherein the contact block is made of a material with high vibrational conductivity.

6 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 5 , wherein the material with high vibrational conductivity is selected from a group consisting of ceramics, metals, synthetic resins, plastic materials, quartz, and any combination thereof.

7 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 1 , further comprising a data processing unit for analyzing micro-vibration data collected from the first sensing element and the second sensing element.

8 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 7 , further comprising a communication module for transmitting the micro-vibration data collected by the first sensing element and the second sensing element and/or analysis data obtained from analyzing the micro-vibration data by the data processing unit to a cloud server.

9 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 8 , wherein the communication module is an Ethernet interface, and transmits the micro-vibration data and/or analysis data to the cloud server via a local area network and/or the Internet.

10 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 8 , wherein the communication module is a wireless communication interface.

11 . The high-precision sensing pushrod of claim 10 , wherein the wireless communication interface is selected from a group consisting of Bluetooth communication interface, ZigBee communication interface, WiMax communication interface, NBIoT communication interface, LoRA communication interface, WiFi communication interface, 4G mobile communication interface, 5G mobile communication interface, and 6G mobile communication interface.
