Detailed Description
The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the application is made in connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and together with the description of the embodiments of the application, are used to explain the principles of the application and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a high-precision composite measurement apparatus is disclosed, comprising: a cylindrical cavity 1, a radio frequency coaxial cavity 2, a signal transceiver 4 and a coaxial connector 5. The radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 is provided with a vent 26.
In particular, as shown in fig. 2.
A cylindrical cavity 1, the inside of which is filled with a hollow high dielectric constant cylinder 13;
A movable nonmetal rod 11 is inserted into the center of the cavity 15 of the high dielectric constant cylinder 13, one end of the movable nonmetal rod extends out of the cylindrical cavity 1 to be in contact with the object 3 to be measured, and the other end of the movable nonmetal rod is connected with a metal rod 211; the metal rod 211 is wrapped with a spring 12, is structurally connected with the metal core 21 of the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2, and can be inserted into the metal core 21 under the driving of the spring 12;
The radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 is provided with a protective insulating layer 23, an outer conductor 22, an insulating medium layer 24 and a metal core 21 from outside to inside in sequence, an air column 25 is arranged in the joint part of the metal core 21 and the cylindrical cavity 1, and the air column 25 is connected with the outside air through a vent hole 26;
the signal transceiver 4 is connected with the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 through the coaxial connector 5 and is used for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals.
In some embodiments, the cylindrical cavity 1 is made of a sturdy and durable material, such as PVC or a metal alloy, the interior of which is designed to tightly fill a high dielectric constant cylinder 13. The hollow space 15 of the high dielectric constant cylinder 13 is centrally provided with a movable nonmetallic rod 11 made of a lightweight but strong material such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic. One end of the movable nonmetallic bar 11 is designed to protrude outside the cylindrical cavity 1, contact with the object 3 to be measured, and the other end is connected to the metallic bar 211.
The metal rod 211 may be made of stainless steel, has good elasticity and durability, and is wrapped by the spring 12. The spring 12 is made of a material having high elasticity, such as titanium alloy or special spring steel, capable of producing predictable deformation when subjected to a force. The metal rod 211 is connected to the metal core 21 structure of the rf coaxial cavity 2, allowing insertion into the metal core 21 structure under the drive of the spring 12.
The structure of the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 is sequentially provided with a protective insulating layer 23, an outer conductor 22, an insulating medium layer 24 and a metal core 21 from outside to inside. The protective insulating layer 23 may be made of a flexible plastic such as polytetrafluoroethylene to provide additional protection and insulation. The outer conductor 22 and the metal core 21 are typically made of copper to ensure good electrical conductivity. The portion of the metal core 21 that engages the cylindrical cavity 1 contains a column of air 25, the column of air 25 being connected to the outside air through a vent 26, allowing the air pressure to affect the measurement result.
The signal transceiver 4 is connected with the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 through the coaxial connector 5 and is responsible for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals. The signal transceiver 4 can adopt a commercially available high-precision radio frequency analyzer, and can accurately measure the resonant frequency and amplitude of the reflected signal.
Further, the movable nonmetallic stem 11 employs a thermally expansive material.
In some embodiments, the movable nonmetallic stem 11 is made of a material with thermal expansion characteristics, such as indium tin oxide or other ceramic materials with good temperature sensing properties. Such a material can undergo predictable length changes with increasing or decreasing temperature, thereby enabling the movable nonmetallic stem 11 to operate in a temperature measurement mode.
Further, the length ratio between the metal rod 211 and the metal core 21 of the rf coaxial cavity 2 is variable in response to deformation, pressure or temperature changes, wherein the metal rod 211 is insertable into the metal core 21 structure under the drive of the spring 12.
As shown in fig. 3. In some embodiments, the length ratio between the metal rod 211 and the metal core 21 of the rf coaxial cavity 2 is variable in response to changes in deformation, pressure, or temperature. For example, when the object 3 to be measured applies deformation or pressure to the movable nonmetallic nonconductive lever 11, the movable nonmetallic lever 11 moves inward, causing the metallic lever 211 to be inserted deeper into the structure of the metallic core 21 under the drive of the spring 12, thereby changing the length ratio therebetween.
Further, for deformation measurement, the displacement of the movable nonmetallic rod 11 is detected by the change of the insertion amount of the metallic rod 211, wherein the change of the insertion amount of the metallic rod 211 causes the change of the electromagnetic field distribution in the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2.
As shown in fig. 2. In some embodiments, in the deformation measurement mode, the object 3 to be measured applies deformation to the movable nonmetallic stem 11, which causes the movable nonmetallic stem 11 to move inward, thereby pushing the metallic stem 211 into the metallic core 21 structure. The variation in the amount of insertion of the metal rod 211 causes variations in the electromagnetic field distribution within the rf coaxial cavity 2, which can be detected by the reflected signal detected by the signal transceiver 4. The amount of change in the reflected signal, such as the change in the resonant frequency and amplitude, is proportional to the amount of displacement of the movable nonmetallic wand 11.
Further, for pressure measurement, the pressure applied by the object 3 to be measured to the movable nonmetallic rod 11 causes the metallic rod 211 to be pushed into the metallic core 21 structure, thereby changing the resonance characteristic of the rf coaxial cavity 2.
In some embodiments, in the pressure measurement mode, the object 3 to be measured applies pressure to the movable nonmetallic stem 11, which is transferred to the metallic stem 211, causing the metallic stem 211 to be pushed into the metallic core 21 structure. Such a mechanical displacement changes the resonance characteristics of the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2, such as the resonance frequency and the quality factor, which changes can be measured by the signal transceiver 4. By analyzing these changes, the amount of pressure exerted on the movable nonmetallic stem 11 can be determined.
Further, for temperature measurement, the movable nonmetallic stem 11 is made of a thermally expansive material, and the temperature change causes the length of the movable nonmetallic stem 11 to change, thereby pushing the metallic stem 211 and compressing the spring 12, resulting in the resonance frequency and amplitude within the rf coaxial cavity 2 to change.
In some embodiments, in the temperature measurement mode, since the movable nonmetallic stem 11 is made of a thermally expansive material, the movable nonmetallic stem 11 may change in length when the temperature changes. This change in length pushes the metal rod 211 and compresses the spring 12, resulting in a change in the resonant frequency and amplitude within the rf coaxial cavity 2. By measuring these changes, the increase or decrease in temperature can be accurately calculated. For example, an increase in the resonant frequency may correspond to an increase in the ambient temperature, while a decrease in the resonant frequency may correspond to a decrease in the ambient temperature.
As shown in fig. 4. The invention discloses a high-precision composite measurement method, which comprises the following steps:
calibrating the measuring device to an initial state, and ensuring that the maximum length of the movable nonmetallic rod 11 outside the cylindrical cavity 1 is not contacted with the object 3 to be measured;
transmitting a radio frequency signal to the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 through the signal receiving and transmitting device 4 so as to generate an electromagnetic field;
The object 3 to be measured applies deformation, pressure or temperature to the movable nonmetallic rod 11, so that the metallic rod 211 is inserted into the metallic core 21 structure under the drive of the spring 12, and the electromagnetic field distribution is changed;
receiving a radio frequency signal reflected by the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2 to obtain a reflected signal;
The resonance frequency and amplitude variation of the reflected signal are analyzed to determine the amount of change Δf in the resonance frequency and the amount of change Δa in the amplitude caused by deformation, pressure, or temperature.
Further, when used for deformation measurement, comprises:
Determining the displacement amount of the movable nonmetallic lever 11 according to the change in the insertion amount of the metal lever 211;
calculating a deformation value B based on the calculation formula (a);
(a)
where B is a deformation value, Δf is a variation of a resonant frequency of the reflected signal, Δa is a variation of an amplitude of the reflected signal, and L is an initial length of the movable nonmetallic rod 11.
Further, when used for pressure measurement, comprises:
determining the extent to which the metal rod 211 is pushed into the structure of the metal core 21 according to the pressure applied by the object 3 to be measured;
calculating a pressure value F based on the calculation formula (b);
(b)
Where F is a pressure value, E is an elastic modulus of the movable nonmetallic rod 11, S is a sectional area of the movable nonmetallic rod 11, and Δl is a displacement of the movable nonmetallic rod 11.
Further, when used for temperature measurement, comprises:
Determining the movement amount of the metal rod 211 according to the length change of the movable nonmetallic rod 11 caused by the temperature change;
Calculating a temperature value T based on the calculation formula (c);
(c)
Wherein T is a temperature value, alpha is a thermal expansion coefficient of the movable nonmetallic rod, and T 0 is an initial temperature.
In some embodiments, the calibration process starts with ensuring that the maximum length of the movable nonmetallic rod 11 outside the cylindrical cavity 1 is free from contact with the object 3 to be measured. This is achieved by adjusting the position of the movable nonmetallic stem 11 until its end is flush with the opening of the cylindrical cavity 1.
The signal transceiving means 4 is arranged to transmit radio frequency signals of a specific frequency to the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2. The radio frequency signal forms an electromagnetic field within the coaxial cavity 2 and interacts with the internal structure.
The object 3 to be measured applies a deformation, pressure or temperature to the movable nonmetallic wand 11. For example, in deformation measurement, the object 3 to be measured may displace or bend the movable nonmetallic bar 11; in pressure measurement, the object 3 to be measured may exert a certain force on the movable nonmetallic stem 11; in temperature measurement, the object 3 to be measured may change the ambient temperature, affecting the length of the movable nonmetallic wand 11.
The signal transceiving means 4 are simultaneously configured to receive radio frequency signals reflected back by the radio frequency coaxial cavity 2. The reflected signal contains information about the resonant frequency and amplitude, which information changes due to the change in the electromagnetic field distribution.
The resonant frequency and amplitude variation of the reflected signal is measured and recorded by the signal transceiver 4. These data are then used in an analysis to determine the amount of change in resonant frequency Δf and the amount of change in amplitude Δa caused by deformation, pressure or temperature.
