Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、ブルドン管圧力計に関し、特に、ブルドン管の管先変位を拡大して指針軸に伝達するための変位拡大機構における目盛り合わせ校正用の調節子の改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
測定圧によって生じる金属の弾性歪みを機械的に拡大表示するブルドン管圧力計の概略構成は、図3に示すように、楕円形断面のブルドン管1を例えば円環状に曲げて収めた扁平円柱状のゲージ本体部2と、被測定圧力源に連通孔5aを介して繋がる被測定側の雌螺子部5b付き取付穴(螺子穴)5に対して螺合する雄螺子部5b付き圧力導入管3から成り、その圧力導入孔3aはブルドン管1の管基1aに連通している。取付穴5の穴底にはパッキン6が圧入装填されている。
なお、7は取付けナットである。
【0003】
ブルドン管圧力計においては、圧力増大に伴いブルドン管1の曲率半径が弾性変形で漸増し、管先1bが図3では反時計方向及び外方向に漸変するものの、微小変位であるため、この変位を変位拡大機構を介して機械的に拡大し、指針軸4aに取付けた指針4で文字板2aの目盛りを拡大指示するようにしている。
【0004】
図4は従来のブルドン管圧力計の変位拡大リンク機構を示す背面図である。この変位拡大機構は、圧力増大に伴い指針軸4aの周りに管先1bが固定節である圧力導入管3に対して図4では時計方向(矢印A)に漸変するブルドン管1と、管先1bに固着して成る突片12の第1のピン結合(回り対偶部)12aを介して連結して成る真直状の連接ロッド(連接リンク)13と、この連接ロッド13の先端側に第2のピン結合13aを介して連結し、圧力導入管3に固定して成る表側フレーム板14に対して回転中心15aの周りに回動(揺動)可能であって、指針軸11に軸着したピニオン11に噛み合う欠歯歯車15bを持つ回転板(セクター)15とを備えている。回転板15は外側に張り出た湾曲状腕片(調節子)16を有し、その先端側には第2のピン結合13aを以って連接ロッド13に連結している。
【0005】
圧力増大に伴い、管先1bが矢印A方向に変位すると、連接ロッド13が回転中心15aの周りに湾曲状腕片16を時計方向(矢印B方向)に回転させるため、指針軸4aが図4で反時計方向(矢印C方向)に回転する。回転板15は揺動する梃腕として機能し、回転中心15aから第2のピン結合13aまでの距離(腕の長さ)に比し、回転中心15aから指針軸4aまでの距離(腕の長さ)の方が長いため、まずその腕の長さの比率で、管先1bの変位量が欠歯歯車15bのピッチ円の円弧長として拡大された後、次に、欠歯歯車15bとピニオン11の増速比で、指針軸の4aの回転角が拡大されることになる。
【0006】
このような変位拡大機構を有するブルドン管圧力計においては、部品精度のばらつき,組み付け精度のばらつきなどがあるため、変位拡大機構の組立後、指針表示の校正を必要としている。無圧状態において、指針4がゼロを指すように指針4を指針軸4aに取付けた後、最大圧力を加圧して運針した指針目盛りを読み取る。指針目盛りが最大圧力値に満たない場合は変位拡大率が低いことを意味する。そのため、回転中心15aから第2のピン結合13aまでの距離を短縮するべく、工具などを用いて湾曲状腕片16を挟んで第2のピン結合13aを回転中心15a側へ寄せ付ける塑性変形を行い、指針目盛りが最大圧力値に合致するように調節する。逆に、指針目盛りが最大圧力値を超える場合は変位拡大率が高いことを意味する。そのため、回転中心15aから第2のピン結合13aまでの距離を拡張するべく、工具などを湾曲状腕片16の切欠き16aに挿入して押し広げ、第2のピン結合13aを回転中心15aから更に離す塑性変形を行い、指針目盛りが最大圧力値に合致するように調節する。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記の変位拡大機構の指針合わせ校正作業にあっては、次のような問題点があった。
【0008】
即ち、最大圧力状態での湾曲状腕片16に対する塑性変形調整の後、無圧状態に戻すと、指針4がゼロ目盛りからずれてしまう不都合が発生する。第2のピン結合13aを結合解除した場合、湾曲状腕片16側から見ると、第2のピン結合13aの位置の塑性変形軌跡は概ね可節点Pを中心にしてほぼ円弧αを描くと共に、連接ロッド13側から見ると、第2のピン結合13aの位置の軌跡は第1のピン結合12aを中心にして円弧βを描き、円弧αと円弧βとが第2のピン結合13aの位置で交差した関係であるが、湾曲状腕片16と連接ロッド13とが第2のピン結合13aで連結されているため、本来的に管先1bは軽微な力の印加でも簡単に弾性変形するものであるから、湾曲状腕片16に対する塑性変形の屈曲調節により第2のピン結合13aの位置が円弧α上で強引にずらされると、第1のピン結合12aの位置もずれてしまうので、ブルドン管1に不如意な初期応力を発生させてしまうからである。
【0009】
そのため、指針目盛りが最大圧力値に満たない場合、変位拡大率を上げるために第2のピン結合13aを回転中心15a側へ寄せ付ける塑性変形調節では、管先1bを矢印A方向に押し出すことになるから、無圧状態に戻すと指針4がゼロ目盛り以上を指す。このため、指針4の取付けをし直してから、最大圧力に再度加圧して最大目盛り合わせを行う必要があり、ゼロ目盛りと最大目盛りが合致するまで幾度も繰り返す煩雑な手間を要する。指針取付け加減と塑性変形調節の加減との按配に熟練技能を必要とする。
【0010】
逆に、指針目盛りが最大圧力値を超える場合、変位拡大率を下げるために第2のピン結合13aを回転中心15aから更に引き離す塑性変形調節では、管先1bを矢印A方向とは逆方向に引き下げることになるから、無圧状態に戻すと指針4がゼロ目盛り以下を指す。斯かる場合もゼロ目盛りと最大目盛りが合致するまで幾度も繰り返す煩雑な手間を要する。
【0011】
そこで、上記問題点に鑑み、本発明の課題は、無圧状態で指針をゼロ目盛りに合致させた状態で指針軸に取付け、最大圧力加圧状態で屈曲腕部を塑性変形させて指針を最大目盛りに合致させた後は、無圧状態に戻しても、指針がゼロ目盛りから大幅に狂うことがなく、凡そゼロ目盛りを指すように、変位拡大機構を改良することにより、熟練技能を要さずに、目盛り合わせ校正作業の能率の大幅向上を図ることができるブルドン管圧力計を提供することにある。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係るブルドン管圧力計は、圧力増大に伴い指針軸の周りに管先が固定節に対して第1の方向に漸変するブルドン管と、管先側に第1の回り対偶部を介して連結して成る連接リンクと、この連接リンクの先端側に第2の回り対偶部を介して連結し、固定節に対して回転中心の周りに回転可能であって指針軸を回動するための回転体とを備え、回転体は、先端側に第2の回り対偶部を具えると共に、可曲節点の前記第2の回り対偶部と回転中心とに対して張る開き角が拡縮調節可能となった屈曲腕部を有しており、連接リンクと屈曲腕部とが圧力増大に伴い回転体を第1の方向に回動させる相互関係となっているものである。なお、圧力から気体温度に換算することができるため、このブルドン管圧力計は文字板を温度表示に代えることにより例えば隔測温度計として用いることができる。
【0013】
そして本発明における屈曲腕部としては、無圧状態のとき、可曲節点が第1の回り対偶部に概ね重なる位置にあるように形成されていることを特徴とする。つまり、可曲節点は、従来例とは異なり、第2の回り対偶部と回転中心とを通る線に対して第1の回り対偶部側に位置し、無圧状態のとき、屈曲腕部の第2の回り対偶部と可曲節点とを結ぶ線分が連接リンクの第2の回り対偶部と第1の回り対偶部とを結ぶ線分と略重なっている。このため、第2の回り対偶部の結合を解除した場合、連接リンクの第2の回り対偶部の位置の軌跡に屈曲腕部の第2の回り対偶部の位置の塑性変形軌跡が略重なることになるため、最大圧力印圧状態で屈曲腕部を塑性変形させて第2の回り対偶部と回転中心との距離を調節し、指針を最大目盛りに合致させた後は、無圧状態に戻しても、指針がゼロ目盛りから大幅に狂うことがない。このため、従前に比し、校正作業能率の大幅向上を図ることができる。例えば、多数個のブルドン管圧力計を設定し同時に最大圧力を印圧し、各屈曲腕部を塑性変形させて最大目盛りに順に合わせるだけで、多数個の校正を完了させることができる。2度目以降の最大圧力を印圧して再調節する手間を排することができると共に、熟練者を必要とせず、調節作業の短縮化を図ることができる。
【0014】
屈曲腕部としては、回転中心側から可曲節点まで張り出た基端側片部と可曲節点心から外側に張り出た外側片部とを有して成る二股状屈曲片であって、両片部が互いに臨む内側には工具当て用切込みが形成されていることが望ましい。工具当て用切込みの形成により、例えばマイナスドライバーの先を切込みに係り止めして簡単に塑性変形させることができるため、調節作業性が迅速化し、不如意な変形失敗を防止できる。
【0015】
基端側片部の工具当て用切込みの位置と外側片部の前記工具当て用切込みの位置とは可曲節点から不等距離に形成されていることが望ましい。例えばマイナスドライバーの先を両切込みに係り止めして一方に捩ることにより開き角が拡大し、逆方向に捩ることにより開き角が縮小するから、調節作業を確実且つ迅速に実現できる。
【0016】
更に、連接リンクは回転中心に対して外側片部の外側に位置する弓形状であることが望ましい。連接リンクは真直状ではなく、弓形状であるため、外側片部bとの間に隙間があり、塑性変形調節が容易となる。このため、弓形状連接リンクは無圧状態において可曲節点と第1の回り対偶部とのずれを修正するための調節子としての意義を有する。また、屈曲腕部の塑性変形調節の際、工具の先が連接リンクに当たり難くなるため、不如意な変形を防止できる。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の一実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。図1は本発明の実施例に係るブルドン管圧力計において無圧状態での変位拡大リンク機構を示す背面図、図2は本発明の実施例に係るブルドン管圧力計において最大圧力印圧状態での変位拡大リンク機構を示す背面図である。なお、図1,2において、図4に示す部分と同一部分には参照符号を付し、その説明は省略する。
【0018】
本例の変位拡大リンク機構は、圧力増大に伴い指針軸4aの周りに管先1bが固定節である圧力導入管3に対して図1では時計方向(矢印A)に漸変するブルドン管1と、管先1bに固着して成る突片12の第1のピン結合(回り対偶部)12aを介して連結して成る弓形状連接リンク23と、この連接リンク23の先端側に第2のピン結合23aを介して連結し、圧力導入管3に固定して成る表側フレーム板14及び裏フレーム板24に対して回転中心25aの周りに回動(揺動)可能であって、指針軸4aに軸着したピニオン11に噛み合う欠歯歯車25bを持つ回転板(梃腕,セクター)25とを備えている。変位拡大リンク機構は、管先1の変位が仮想的な長リンクと仮定すれば、固定節(圧力導入管3,表側フレーム板14及び裏フレーム板24)と、ブルドン管1,突片12,弓形状連接リンク23,回転板25とから成る4節回転連鎖の両てこ機構とみることができる。
【0019】
回転板25は外側に張り出た拡縮可能な開き角θを持つV字状腕片((最大圧力での調節子)26を有し、その先端側には第2のピン結合23aを以って連接リンク23に連結している。なお、27は、ピニオン11と欠歯歯車25bの噛み合い間隙(バックラッシュ)による指針ぶれを防止するためのひげゼンマイである。
【0020】
V字状腕片26は、可節点Pに鋭角に屈折した二股状屈曲片であって、回転中心25a側から可節点Pまで張り出た基端側片部26aと可節点Pから外側に張り出た外側片部26bとから成り、基端側片部26aと外側片部26bとの間に切欠き26cを有し、開き角度θを形成している。両片部26a,26bが互いに臨む内側にはマイナスドライバー当て用切込みX,Yが形成されている。可節点Pからの切込みX位置までの距離は可節点Pからの切込みY位置までの距離よりも短く、切込みXとYとを一辺として可節点Pを頂点として含む三角形が不等辺三角形となるように形成されている。
【0021】
V字状腕片26は可曲節点Pを折り曲げ点として塑性変形で開き角θが拡縮可能となっている。図1の無圧状態では、可曲節点Pが第1の回り対偶部12aに概ね重なる位置にある。つまり、可曲節点Pは、図4に示す従来例とは異なり、第2の回り対偶部23aと回転中心25aとを通る線に対して第1の回り対偶部12a側に位置し、無圧状態のとき、V字状腕片26の第2の回り対偶部23aと可曲節点Pとを結ぶ線分が連接リンク23の第2の回り対偶部23aと第1の回り対偶部12aとを結ぶ線分と略重なっている。
【0022】
指針の目盛り合わせ作業では、無圧状態において、先ず、図1に示す如く、可曲節点Pが第1の回り対偶部12aに重なっているか否かを確認する。おおよそ重なっているが、多少外れているときには、突片12や弓形状連接リンク23を屈曲させて調節する。連接リンク23が真直状ではなく、弓形状であるため、外側片部26bとの間に隙間があり、塑性変形調節が容易となる。このため、弓形状連接リンク23は無圧状態での調節子(第2の調節子)としての意義を有する。そして、指針4がゼロを指すように指針4を指針軸4aに取付ける。
【0023】
次いで、最大圧力を印圧すると、管先1bが矢印A方向に大きく変位するため、回転板が矢印B方向に回転し、指針軸4aが矢印C方向に回転するので、図2に示す状態になる。ここで、運針した指針目盛りを読み取る。指針目盛りが最大圧力値に満たない場合は変位拡大率が低いことを意味する。そのため、回転中心25aから第2のピン結合23aまでの距離を短縮するべく、マイナスドライバーを切り込みX,Yに係合させて図2で反時計方向に捩り、第2のピン結合23aを回転中心25a側へ寄せ付ける塑性変形を行い、指針目盛りが最大圧力値に合致するように調節する。この際、マイナスドライバーの捩り加減だけで目盛り合わせすることができるので、調節作業が簡便となる。逆に、指針目盛りが最大圧力値を超える場合は変位拡大率が高いことを意味する。そのため、回転中心25aから第2のピン結合23aまでの距離を拡張するべく、マイナスドライバーを切り込みX,Yに係合させて図2で時計方向に捩り、第2のピン結合23aを回転中心25aから更に離す塑性変形を行い、指針目盛りが最大圧力値に合致するように調節する。この際も、マイナスドライバーの捩り加減だけで目盛り合わせすることができるので、調節作業が簡便となる。
【0024】
しかる後、無圧状態に戻すと、指針4はゼロ目盛りを指したままとなる。なぜなら、無圧状態では可曲節点Pが第1の回り対偶部12aに重なっているからである。即ち、第2の回り対偶部23aの結合を解除した場合、連接リンク23の第2の回り対偶部23aの位置の軌跡にV字状腕片26の第2の回り対偶部23aの位置の塑性変形軌跡が丁度重なっているため、最大圧力印圧状態でV字状腕片26を塑性変形させて第2の回り対偶部23aと回転中心25aとの距離を調節し、指針4を最大目盛りに合致させた後は、無圧状態に戻しても、指針がゼロ目盛りから大幅に狂うことがない。このため、従前に比し、校正作業能率の大幅向上を図ることができる。例えば、多数個のブルドン管圧力計を設定し同時に最大圧力を印圧し、各V字状腕片26を塑性変形させて最大目盛りに順に合わせるだけで、多数個の校正を完了させることができる。2度目以降の最大圧力を加圧して再調節する手間を排することができると共に、熟練者を必要とせず、調節作業の短縮化を図ることができる。
【0025】
なお、最大圧力での調節子としてのV字状腕片26の形状はV字形状に限らず、U字形状等のその他の形状でも構わない。ただ、図4に示すU字形状の可曲節点Pの位置がやや曖昧であるが、V字状腕片26では、可曲節点Pが鋭角頂点であるために明瞭さがあり、第1の回り対偶部12aとの重ね合わせ精度を得ることができるという点で優れている。
【0026】
また、第2の拡大機構としては、欠歯歯車25bとピ二オン11とに限らず、指針軸4aに巻装したコイルスプリングとそのコイル隙間に圧入した周縁部を持つ回転板25とによっても第2の拡大機構を構成できる。
【0027】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明は、ブルドン管圧力計の変位拡大機構における最大圧力での調整子たる屈曲腕部として、無圧状態のとき、可曲節点が第1の回り対偶部に概ね重なる位置にあるように形成されていることを特徴とするものであるから、次にような効果を奏する。即ち、無圧状態で指針をゼロ目盛りに合致させた状態で指針軸に取付け、最大圧力加圧状態で屈曲腕部を塑性変形させて指針を最大目盛りに合致させた後は、無圧状態に戻しても、指針がゼロ目盛りから大幅に狂うことがなく、凡そゼロ目盛りに一致したままとなる。このため、熟練技能を要さずに、目盛り合わせ校正作業の能率の大幅向上を図ることができる。

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a Bourdon tube pressure gauge, and more particularly, to an improvement of a calibration adjuster in a displacement enlarging mechanism for enlarging and transmitting a tube tip displacement of a Bourdon tube to a pointer shaft.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 3, a schematic configuration of a Bourdon tube pressure gauge that mechanically enlarges and displays an elastic strain of a metal caused by a measurement pressure is a flat cylindrical shape in which a Bourdon tube 1 having an elliptical cross section is bent into an annular shape, for example. The pressure introduction pipe 3 with the male screw portion 5b screwed into the gauge body portion 2 and the mounting hole (screw hole) 5 with the female screw portion 5b on the measurement side connected to the pressure source to be measured through the communication hole 5a. The pressure introducing hole 3 a communicates with the tube base 1 a of the Bourdon tube 1. A packing 6 is press-fitted into the bottom of the mounting hole 5.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a mounting nut.
[0003]
In the Bourdon tube pressure gauge, as the pressure increases, the radius of curvature of the Bourdon tube 1 gradually increases due to elastic deformation, and the tube tip 1b gradually changes counterclockwise and outward in FIG. The displacement is mechanically enlarged via a displacement magnifying mechanism, and the scale of the dial 2a is instructed to be enlarged by the pointer 4 attached to the pointer shaft 4a.
[0004]
FIG. 4 is a rear view showing a displacement magnifying link mechanism of a conventional Bourdon tube pressure gauge. This displacement magnifying mechanism includes a Bourdon tube 1 that gradually changes in the clockwise direction (arrow A) in FIG. 4 with respect to the pressure introducing tube 3 whose tube tip 1b is a fixed node around the pointer shaft 4a as the pressure increases. A straight connecting rod (connecting link) 13 connected via a first pin coupling (rotating pair) 12a of the projecting piece 12 fixed to the tip 1b, and a first connecting rod 13 on the tip side of the connecting rod 13 2, which can be pivoted (swinged) around the rotation center 15 a with respect to the front side frame plate 14 which is connected to the pressure introduction pipe 3 and is fixed to the pressure introducing pipe 3. And a rotating plate (sector) 15 having a toothless gear 15 b that meshes with the pinion 11. The rotary plate 15 has a curved arm piece (adjuster) 16 projecting outward, and is connected to the connecting rod 13 by a second pin coupling 13a on the tip side.
[0005]
When the pipe tip 1b is displaced in the direction of arrow A as the pressure increases, the connecting rod 13 rotates the curved arm piece 16 in the clockwise direction (in the direction of arrow B) around the rotation center 15a. To rotate counterclockwise (arrow C direction). The rotating plate 15 functions as a swinging arm, and the distance from the rotation center 15a to the pointer shaft 4a (the length of the arm) compared to the distance (arm length) from the rotation center 15a to the second pin coupling 13a. Since the displacement amount of the pipe tip 1b is first expanded as the arc length of the pitch circle of the toothless gear 15b by the ratio of the length of the arm, then the toothless gear 15b and the pinion are then increased. With the speed increasing ratio of 11, the rotation angle of the pointer shaft 4a is expanded.
[0006]
In a Bourdon tube pressure gauge having such a displacement magnifying mechanism, there is a variation in component accuracy, a variation in assembling accuracy, etc., and therefore, calibration of the pointer display is required after the displacement magnifying mechanism is assembled. In the no-pressure state, after the pointer 4 is attached to the pointer shaft 4a so that the pointer 4 points to zero, the maximum scale pressure is increased and the pointer scale moved is read. When the pointer scale is less than the maximum pressure value, it means that the displacement magnification rate is low. Therefore, in order to shorten the distance from the rotation center 15a to the second pin coupling 13a, plastic deformation is applied to bring the second pin coupling 13a toward the rotation center 15a with the curved arm piece 16 sandwiched by using a tool or the like. And adjust so that the pointer scale matches the maximum pressure value. Conversely, when the pointer scale exceeds the maximum pressure value, it means that the displacement magnification rate is high. Therefore, in order to extend the distance from the rotation center 15a to the second pin coupling 13a, a tool or the like is inserted into the notch 16a of the curved arm piece 16 and spread to extend the second pin coupling 13a from the rotation center 15a. Further plastic deformation is performed, and the pointer scale is adjusted so as to match the maximum pressure value.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described displacement adjustment mechanism has the following problems in the calibration work for aligning the pointer.
[0008]
In other words, after the plastic deformation adjustment for the curved arm piece 16 in the maximum pressure state, if the pressure is returned to the non-pressure state, there is a problem that the pointer 4 is displaced from the zero scale. When canceled coupling a second pin coupling 13a, when viewed from the curved arm piece 16 side, together with the plastic deformation locus of the position of the second pin coupling 13a is generally around the bendable node P to draw substantially arc α When viewed from the connecting rod 13 side, the locus of the position of the second pin coupling 13a draws an arc β around the first pin coupling 12a, and the arc α and the arc β are the positions of the second pin coupling 13a. However, since the curved arm piece 16 and the connecting rod 13 are connected by the second pin coupling 13a, the tube tip 1b inherently easily elastically deforms even when a slight force is applied. Therefore, if the position of the second pin coupling 13a is forcibly shifted on the arc α by bending adjustment of plastic deformation with respect to the curved arm piece 16, the position of the first pin coupling 12a is also shifted. Involuntary initial stress is generated in Bourdon tube 1 Because it will let you.
[0009]
Therefore, when the pointer scale is less than the maximum pressure value, in the plastic deformation adjustment in which the second pin coupling 13a is moved toward the rotation center 15a in order to increase the displacement magnification rate, the pipe tip 1b is pushed in the direction of arrow A. Therefore, when the pressureless state is restored, the pointer 4 indicates the zero scale or more. For this reason, after reattaching the pointer 4, it is necessary to pressurize again to the maximum pressure to perform the maximum scale alignment, and it is necessary to repeat the process several times until the zero scale and the maximum scale match. Skilled skills are required for the adjustment of the needle attachment and the plastic deformation adjustment.
[0010]
On the other hand, when the pointer scale exceeds the maximum pressure value, in plastic deformation adjustment in which the second pin coupling 13a is further pulled away from the rotation center 15a in order to reduce the displacement magnification rate, the pipe tip 1b is moved in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction. Since it will be pulled down, the pointer 4 points below the zero scale when it is returned to the non-pressure state. In such a case as well, it is troublesome to repeat several times until the zero scale and the maximum scale match.
[0011]
Therefore, in view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to attach the pointer to the pointer shaft in a state where there is no pressure and to align the pointer with the zero scale, and plastically deform the bent arm portion in a state where the maximum pressure is applied to maximize the pointer. After matching the scale, even if the pressure is restored, the pointer will not be greatly deviated from the zero scale, and skill is required by improving the displacement enlargement mechanism so that it points to the zero scale. It is another object of the present invention to provide a Bourdon tube pressure gauge that can greatly improve the efficiency of calibration and calibration.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a Bourdon tube pressure gauge according to the present invention includes a Bourdon tube in which a tube tip gradually changes in a first direction with respect to a fixed node around a pointer shaft as pressure increases, and a tube tip side A connecting link connected to the first link pair via a first turn pair, and a second link pair connected to the leading end of the link link, so that it can rotate around the center of rotation with respect to the fixed node. A rotating body for rotating the pointer shaft, the rotating body having a second turning pair on the tip side and a second turning pair on the bendable node and a rotation center The arm has a bent arm portion whose opening angle can be adjusted for expansion and contraction, and the articulated link and the bent arm portion have a mutual relationship that rotates the rotating body in the first direction as the pressure increases. Is. Since the pressure can be converted into the gas temperature, the Bourdon tube pressure gauge can be used as, for example, a remote thermometer by replacing the dial with a temperature display.
[0013]
In the present invention, the bent arm portion is characterized in that the bendable node is formed so as to substantially overlap the first turning pair even when there is no pressure. That is, unlike the conventional example, the bendable node is located on the first turning pair side with respect to the line passing through the second turning pair portion and the rotation center, and when the pressure is not applied, A line segment connecting the second turning pair and the bendable node substantially overlaps a line connecting the second turning pair and the first turning pair of the articulated link. For this reason, when the coupling of the second turning pair portion is released, the plastic deformation locus of the position of the second turning pair portion of the bent arm substantially overlaps the locus of the position of the second turning pair portion of the articulated link. Therefore, the bent arm is plastically deformed under the maximum pressure applied pressure, the distance between the second turning pair and the center of rotation is adjusted, and after the pointer is aligned with the maximum scale, it is returned to the no-pressure state. However, the guideline will not be greatly distorted from the zero scale. For this reason, it is possible to significantly improve the calibration work efficiency as compared with the prior art. For example, it is possible to complete a large number of calibrations by setting a large number of Bourdon tube pressure gauges, simultaneously printing the maximum pressure, plastically deforming each bent arm portion, and sequentially matching the maximum scale. It is possible to eliminate the trouble of re-adjusting by applying the maximum pressure after the second time, and it is possible to shorten the adjustment work without requiring an expert.
[0014]
The bent arm portion is a bifurcated bent piece having a proximal end side piece projecting from the center of rotation to the bendable node and an outer piece projecting outward from the bendable node center. It is desirable that a notch for tool application is formed on the inner side where the parts face each other. By forming the notch for tool application, for example, the tip of a flathead screwdriver can be engaged with the notch and can be easily plastically deformed, so that the adjustment workability can be accelerated and unintentional deformation failure can be prevented.
[0015]
It is desirable that the position of the tool abutting notch on the base end side piece and the position of the tool abutting notch on the outer side piece be formed at unequal distances from the bendable nodes. For example, the opening angle is increased by locking the tip of a flathead screwdriver at both notches and twisted in one direction, and the opening angle is decreased by twisting in the opposite direction, so that the adjustment operation can be realized reliably and quickly.
[0016]
Furthermore, it is desirable that the articulated link has an arcuate shape located outside the outer piece with respect to the center of rotation. Since the articulated link is not straight but has an arcuate shape, there is a gap between the outer piece b and plastic deformation adjustment is easy. For this reason, the arc-shaped connecting link has a significance as a regulator for correcting the deviation between the bendable node and the first turning pair even in a non-pressure state. In addition, when the plastic deformation of the bent arm portion is adjusted, it is difficult for the tip of the tool to hit the articulated link, so that unintentional deformation can be prevented.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear view showing a displacement magnifying link mechanism in a no-pressure state in a Bourdon tube pressure gauge according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a maximum pressure applied pressure state in a Bourdon tube pressure gauge according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a rear view which shows this displacement expansion link mechanism. 1 and 2, the same parts as those shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0018]
The displacement magnifying link mechanism of this example is a Bourdon tube 1 that gradually changes in the clockwise direction (arrow A) in FIG. 1 with respect to the pressure introduction tube 3 whose tube tip 1b is a fixed node around the pointer shaft 4a as the pressure increases. And an arc-shaped connecting link 23 connected via a first pin coupling (rotating pair) 12a of the projecting piece 12 fixed to the pipe tip 1b, and a second end on the tip side of the connecting link 23. The front side frame plate 14 and the back frame plate 24, which are connected via a pin coupling 23a and fixed to the pressure introducing pipe 3, can be rotated (swinged) around a rotation center 25a, and the pointer shaft 4a And a rotating plate (armor, sector) 25 having an intermittent gear 25b that meshes with the pinion 11 that is axially attached to the pinion 11. Assuming that the displacement of the pipe tip 1 is an imaginary long link, the displacement expansion link mechanism includes a fixed node (pressure introduction pipe 3, front side frame board 14 and back frame board 24), bourdon pipe 1, projecting piece 12, It can be regarded as a lever mechanism of a four-joint rotating chain comprising an arcuate connecting link 23 and a rotating plate 25.
[0019]
The rotating plate 25 has a V-shaped arm piece ((regulator at maximum pressure) 26 having an opening angle θ that can be expanded and contracted projecting outward, and a second pin coupling 23a is provided on the tip side thereof. Are connected to the articulated link 23. Reference numeral 27 denotes a hairspring for preventing a pointer shake due to a meshing gap (backlash) between the pinion 11 and the toothless gear 25b.
[0020]
V-shaped arm piece 26 is a bifurcated bent piece refracted at an acute angle to the bendable node P, from the rotation center 25a side and the tension out proximal end side sections 26a to bendable node P bendable nodes P It consists of an outer piece 26b protruding outward, and has a notch 26c between the base piece 26a and the outer piece 26b to form an opening angle θ. Cutouts X and Y for a flat-blade screwdriver are formed on the inner side where both pieces 26a and 26b face each other. Distance to cut X position from the bendable node P is shorter than the distance to cut Y position from the bendable node P, triangle scalene triangle including bendable node P as the vertex and cut X and Y as one side It is formed to become.
[0021]
The V-shaped arm piece 26 can be expanded or contracted by plastic deformation with the bendable node P as a bending point. In the no-pressure state of FIG. 1, the bendable node P is in a position that substantially overlaps the first turning pair 12a. That is, unlike the conventional example shown in FIG. 4, the bendable node P is located on the first turning pair portion 12a side with respect to a line passing through the second turning pair portion 23a and the rotation center 25a, and has no pressure. In the state, the line segment connecting the second turning pair portion 23a of the V-shaped arm piece 26 and the bendable node P is connected to the second turning pair portion 23a of the connecting link 23 and the first turning pair portion 12a. It almost overlaps the connecting line.
[0022]
In the calibrating operation of the pointers, in a no-pressure state, first, as shown in FIG. 1, it is confirmed whether or not the bendable node P overlaps with the first turning pair 12a. When they are almost overlapped but slightly disengaged, the protruding piece 12 and the arc-shaped connecting link 23 are bent and adjusted. Since the connecting link 23 is not straight but has a bow shape, there is a gap between the outer piece 26b and the plastic deformation adjustment becomes easy. For this reason, the arc-shaped connecting link 23 has a significance as a regulator (second regulator) in a non-pressure state. Then, the pointer 4 is attached to the pointer shaft 4a so that the pointer 4 indicates zero.
[0023]
Next, when the maximum pressure is applied, the pipe tip 1b is greatly displaced in the direction of arrow A, so that the rotating plate rotates in the direction of arrow B and the pointer shaft 4a rotates in the direction of arrow C, so that the state shown in FIG. Become. Here, the hand pointer scale is read. When the pointer scale is less than the maximum pressure value, it means that the displacement magnification rate is low. Therefore, in order to shorten the distance from the rotation center 25a to the second pin coupling 23a, a slotted screwdriver is engaged with the notches X and Y and twisted counterclockwise in FIG. 2 to rotate the second pin coupling 23a to the rotation center. The plastic deformation approaching the 25a side is performed, and the pointer scale is adjusted so as to match the maximum pressure value. At this time, since the scale can be adjusted only by adjusting the twist of the flat-blade screwdriver, the adjustment work becomes simple. Conversely, when the pointer scale exceeds the maximum pressure value, it means that the displacement magnification rate is high. Therefore, in order to extend the distance from the rotation center 25a to the second pin coupling 23a, a slotted screwdriver is engaged with the notches X and Y and twisted clockwise in FIG. 2, and the second pin coupling 23a is rotated to the rotation center 25a. Perform plastic deformation further away from the needle and adjust so that the pointer scale matches the maximum pressure value. Also at this time, since the scale can be adjusted only by adjusting the twist of the flat-blade screwdriver, the adjustment work becomes simple.
[0024]
Thereafter, when the pressureless state is restored, the pointer 4 remains pointing to the zero scale. This is because the bendable node P overlaps the first turning pair 12a in the non-pressure state. That is, when the connection of the second counter-couple portion 23a is released, the plasticity of the position of the second counter-pair portion 23a of the V-shaped arm piece 26 on the locus of the position of the second counter-couple portion 23a of the connecting link 23 is shown. Since the deformation locus just overlaps, the V-shaped arm piece 26 is plastically deformed in the maximum pressure applied state to adjust the distance between the second turning pair 23a and the rotation center 25a, and the pointer 4 is set to the maximum scale. After matching, even if the pressure is returned to the no-pressure state, the pointer will not be greatly deviated from the zero scale. For this reason, it is possible to significantly improve the calibration work efficiency as compared with the prior art. For example, a large number of calibrations can be completed simply by setting a large number of Bourdon tube pressure gauges, simultaneously printing the maximum pressure, plastically deforming each V-shaped arm piece 26 and matching it to the maximum scale in order. It is possible to eliminate the trouble of pressurizing and re-adjusting the maximum pressure after the second time, and it is possible to shorten the adjustment work without requiring an expert.
[0025]
The shape of the V-shaped arm piece 26 as a regulator at the maximum pressure is not limited to the V-shape, and may be other shapes such as a U-shape. However, although the position of the U-shaped bendable node P shown in FIG. 4 is somewhat ambiguous, the V-shaped arm piece 26 has clarity because the bendable node P is an acute vertex, and the first It is excellent in that the overlay accuracy with the turning pair 12a can be obtained.
[0026]
Further, the second expansion mechanism is not limited to the toothless gear 25b and the pinion 11, but also by a coil spring wound around the pointer shaft 4a and a rotating plate 25 having a peripheral edge press-fitted into the coil gap. A second enlargement mechanism can be configured.
[0027]
【Effect of the invention】
As described above, according to the present invention, the bendable arm portion that is a regulator at the maximum pressure in the displacement expansion mechanism of the Bourdon tube pressure gauge has a bendable node substantially overlapping the first rotating pair even when there is no pressure. Since it is formed so as to be in a position, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, after attaching the pointer to the pointer scale in the zero pressure state with the zero scale, and after plastically deforming the bent arm part in the maximum pressure applied state to match the pointer to the maximum scale, Even if it returns, the pointer will not be significantly out of the zero scale and will remain on the zero scale. For this reason, it is possible to greatly improve the efficiency of calibration and calibration without requiring skilled skills.
