Abstract

Keywords: sleeve-type torque sensor, drill rod, linearity, coal mine, effect of strain induction To obtain the dynamic torques exerted at different location points on a wide-blade drill rod, a sleeve-type torque sensor is proposed and designed. Firstly, the relationship model between torque and voltage is built on the basis of a mechanical theory. The sensor is designed on the basis of the effect of strain induction, and its structure is designed according to the structural type of the wide-blade drill rod. Furthermore, the deformation of strain gauges is determined by finite element analysis, and the relationship between strain and torque is established. Secondly, the modal analysis of the torque sensor is performed. The hardware circuit for detecting torque is designed. Finally, the performance test is performed and, according to the test results, the performance of the sensor meets the requirements of actual working conditions. Therefore, torque can be measured using a torque sensor for the drill rod, which helps solve the problem of drill rod sticking in underground coal mine.

“…The Hi research team proposed the design of a sleeve type torque sensor and established a relationship model between torque and voltage based on mechanical theory. The test results showed that a drill pipe torque sensor can be used to measure torque, thus addressing the issue of drill pipe sticking [11]. Wang et al proposed a fault observer based on resource allocation network neural network prediction for mechanical system fault detection, which utilized a prediction function to predict the sampled values of sensors.…”
