Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting the room temperature tensile properties of a material, and in particular to a method and a detection system for detecting the room temperature tensile properties of a material with high automation and high detection repetition accuracy. Background Art

[0002] The room temperature tensile test method is a common mechanical property test method involving metals, plastics and other materials. Its purpose is to understand the deformation characteristics and failure mechanism of materials under stress. By analyzing the stress-strain curve of the material during the tensile process and the change in gauge length and cross-sectional size before and after the tensile process, the mechanical property parameters such as strength and plasticity of the material can be analyzed. It is widely used in engineering design and manufacturing processes, and is usually referenced by the implementation standard GB / T228.1. The typical tensile process includes the following 7 steps: (1) sample anti-mixing identification; (2) sample pre-tensile treatment, including the original tensile span identification on the sample surface and the measurement of the sample diameter before tensile; (3) tensile plan preparation, determination and issuance; (4) sample clamping and extensometer fixation (involved in yield strength testing); (5) sample stretching, including yield strength measurement and tensile strength measurement; (6) sample post-tensile treatment, including span identification measurement and necking diameter measurement after sample splicing; (7) sample packaging and sealing.

[0003] Due to the wide application range of material tensile testing methods and the large demand for testing, the existing technology has carried out many technical improvements in improving the degree of automation, testing efficiency, and stability of test results: (1) Technical improvements in single steps or system components. For example, the patent application with patent application number CN115597539A, "Automatic measurement device for arc specimens for fully automatic tensile testing machine system", provides an automatic measurement device for measuring arc specimens, which can realize the measurement of arc specimens; the patent with authorization announcement number CN212197473U, "A feeding manipulator for fully automatic tensile test specimens", provides a gantry slide module feeding auxiliary manipulator. The above technologies have improved the local automation rate to a certain extent, but the overall automation rate of tensile testing has limited room for improvement. (2) Technical improvements in the tensile process of similar samples. Application No. CN116678739A "A high-throughput automatic stretching device and method based on additive manufacturing samples" provides an automatic stretching device and stretching method, and authorization announcement No. CN218823717U "An automatic stretching test device" provides a stretching test machine, but it only involves a single stretching test machine and only targets rubber sealing rings. The sample stretching test involved in the above method has a certain degree of process similarity with the metal material stretching test specimen specified in GB / T228.1, but both are suitable for special sample stretching processes, and both cannot achieve fully automatic detection of the 7 steps of the stretching test.

[0004] Therefore, a detection device is proposed which can realize full-automatic detection of all steps of tensile test of different samples and different materials, and at the same time achieve high detection repetition accuracy, which has application significance for material tensile performance detection.

[0095] Example 9

[0096] An automated material room temperature tensile properties testing method comprises the following steps:

[0097] S1. Import the sample information of the tensile test specimen into the central control module and mark it;

[0098] S2, placing the marked tensile specimen into a sample buffer module for storage;

[0099] S3, initializing the detection system in the central control module control system, and each device and module component moves to the initialization position;

[0100] S4, the central control module starts the detection system;

[0101] S5. Controlled by the system PLC, the robotic arm grabs the tensile specimen from the preset position of the specimen buffer module and reads the specimen information;

[0102] S6. Under the control of the system PLC, the mechanical arm clamps the tensile specimen onto the tensile testing machine, and the tensile testing machine chuck clamps the tensile specimen, and the specimen is stretched according to the strain rate during the yield period; after reaching the yield point, the PLC is fed back and controlled by the PLC, and the tensile force value at the yield point is uploaded to the system host computer by the PLC, and the host computer calculates the yield strength of the specimen based on the uploaded data;

[0107] Example 10

[0108] An automated material room temperature tensile property testing method comprises the following steps:

[0109] S1. Import the test information of the tensile specimen into the central control module control system and mark it:

[0110] For example, in the manual operation mode, the operator places the tensile specimen 8 in the specimen bag on the specimen identification component base 2021. Since the information of the tensile specimen 8 has been recorded on the specimen bag, the operator then enters the information of the tensile specimen 8 on the specimen bag in the human-machine interaction interface 201, or directly uses the sample information barcode scanner 203 to scan the tensile specimen information barcode on the specimen bag. The sample information at least includes: a. material brand; b. material batch number; c. commission date; d. commissioning unit; e. material status; f. diameter of the tensile specimen test section 802;

[0111] For example, in the fully automatic mode, the system PLC sends instructions to the robotic arm, or other automated devices at the front end of the detection system execute it, and the tensile specimen 8 in the specimen bag is placed on the specimen identification component base 2021, and the sample information scanner 203 scans the tensile specimen information barcode on the specimen bag and enters it into the central control module.

[0112] The operator clicks the "etch" button on the human-machine interface 201 or the system PLC issues an etching command, and the sample identification component fiber laser 1 2022 and the sample identification component fiber laser 2 2023 respectively etch the two ends of the tensile sample clamping sections 801 of the tensile sample 8 on the end surface of the tensile sample 8.

[0113] S2. Put the marked tensile specimen into the sample buffer module for storage:

[0114] In the manual operation mode, the operator places the etched tensile specimen 8 into the buffer slot 301. In the fully automatic mode, the central control module 2 sends an operation instruction to the robot arm 6 to place the etched tensile specimen 8 into the buffer slot 301, or other automated devices execute the operation instruction of the central control module to complete this operation. Since the stretching process rhythm of the tensile specimen 8 is much longer than the QR code etching rhythm of the tensile specimen 8, the number of tensile specimens 8 in the buffer slot 301 will gradually increase as the operator performs the QR code etching operation on the end face of the tensile specimen 8; because the etching is fast and the tensile test is slow, a buffer slot needs to be set up to facilitate manual operation. A large number of samples can be prepared in a short time and placed in the buffer slot. Manual intervention can be undisturbed for a long time, and the samples in the buffer slot can be gradually stretched, which can greatly reduce the unit's manual time consumption. S3. Initialize the detection system in the central control module:

[0115] Controlled by the system host computer 206, each module component of the system is initialized, including: a. The upper clamp 106 and the lower clamp 107 of the tensile testing machine are in the open position; b. The moving beam 103 of the tensile testing machine drives the upper clamp 106 of the tensile testing machine away from the lower furniture 107 of the tensile testing machine, for example, the distance between the upper and lower clamps can be set to 300mm; c. The gripper cylinder 1 507 and the gripper cylinder 2 510 are away from each other, for example, the distance between the two can be set to 300mm; d. The camera 516 is away from the gripper cylinder 1 507 in a direction perpendicular to the ground, for example, the distance between the two can be set to 500mm; e. The lower bottom box mounting frame 409 moves to the side close to the robotic arm 6.

[0116] S4. After the system initialization is completed, the central control module controls and starts the detection system to perform the following detection steps.

[0117] S5. Controlled by the system PLC, the robotic arm grabs the tensile specimen from the preset position of the specimen buffer module and reads the QR code on the end face of the specimen in the barcode reader of the specimen buffer module;

[0118] Under the control of the system PLC, the tensile specimen clamp 605 of the robot arm 6 clamps a tensile specimen 8 in the transverse positioning groove 302 at the position of the tensile specimen test section 02, and aligns one of the tensile specimen end face QR code labels 804 of the tensile specimen 8 with the sample identification reader 303; the sample identification reader 303 uploads the read sample information of the tensile specimen 8 to the system host computer 206, and the data detected in the subsequent steps are marked as the data of the tensile specimen 8 after being uploaded to the system host computer 206.

[0120] Controlled by the system PLC, the mechanical arm 6 clamps the tensile specimen 8 to the middle of the upper fixture 106 of the tensile testing machine; the upper fixture 106 of the tensile testing machine is driven by the hydraulic chuck 105 on the tensile testing machine to clamp the tensile specimen clamping section 801 at one end of the tensile specimen 8; controlled by the system PLC, the tensile specimen clamping claw 605 of the mechanical arm 6 releases the tensile specimen 8, and the tensile testing machine moving beam 103 moves downward until the tensile specimen clamping section 801 at the other end of the tensile specimen 8 is located in the middle of the lower fixture 107 of the tensile testing machine, and is driven by the lower hydraulic chuck 108 of the tensile testing machine to clamp the tensile specimen clamping section 801 in the middle of the lower fixture 107 of the tensile testing machine. The sample clamping section 801 of the tensile sample 8 is moved; controlled by the system PLC, the extensometer 606 of the robot arm 6 approaches the tensile sample test section 802 of the tensile sample 8 until it touches the tensile sample 8, and the tensile testing machine 1 stretches the sample according to the strain rate during yield, and the strain rate during yield can be set to 1mm / min; the system PLC feedback and control, when the tensile sample 8 is stretched to the yield point, the robot arm 6 drives the extensometer 606 away from the tensile sample 8; the system PLC uploads the measured yield point tensile force F1 to the system host computer 206; the yield strength detection step of the sample is completed.

[0121] S7, the detection system performs tensile strength detection steps:

[0122] Controlled by the system PLC, the tensile testing machine 1 continues to stretch the sample at a preset tensile strength detection strain rate until the tensile sample 8 breaks. The tensile strength detection strain rate can be set to 5 mm / min. The system PLC uploads the measured breaking force F2 to the system host computer 206.

[0123] S8. The robotic arm clamps the two sections of the sample after the tensile fracture to the sample size test module respectively:

[0124] Controlled by the system PLC, the tensile specimen gripper 605 of the robot arm 6 grips the connection R between the tensile specimen gripping section 801 and the tensile specimen test section 802 of the upper tensile specimen 805. The purpose of gripping here is to improve the gripping stability of the upper tensile specimen 805, because after the tensile specimen 8 is broken, one half of the test section may be shorter; controlled by the system PLC, the clamp 106 on the tensile testing machine is released; controlled by the system PLC, the robot arm 6 moves the upper tensile specimen to the middle of the gripper cylinder 507, and the gripper cylinder 507 clamps the tensile specimen gripping section 801 of the upper tensile specimen 805, and then the robot arm 6 releases the upper tensile specimen 805; Under the control of system PLC, the tensile specimen clamp 605 of the robot arm 6 clamps the connection R between the tensile specimen clamping section 801 and the tensile specimen test section 802 of the lower tensile specimen 806. The purpose of clamping here is to improve the clamping stability of the lower tensile specimen 806, because after the tensile specimen 8 is broken, one half of the test section may be shorter; under the control of system PLC, the clamp 107 on the tensile testing machine is released; under the control of system PLC, the robot arm 6 moves the upper tensile specimen 805 to the middle of the clamp cylinder 2 510, and the clamp cylinder 2 510 clamps the tensile specimen clamping section 801 of the lower tensile specimen 806, and then the robot arm 6 releases the lower tensile specimen 806.

[0125] After the sample is stretched, it breaks into two parts, and the two parts can only be clamped separately. The operation method of this embodiment is fed back by the tensile machine PLC and controlled by the system PLC. The robotic arm transfers the two halves of the broken sample to the clamping claw cylinder through horizontal displacement and clamps them separately. Since the sample will present irregular random fractures after breaking, the clamping method provided in this embodiment can ensure that the sample does not rotate from the completion of stretching to the size measurement, and between the front clamping and the rear clamping. During measurement, random irregular fractures can also be accurately spliced ​​together. When the sample needs to be rotated for testing in the next step, one end is active and the other end is driven. The structure is simple and the control is not prone to errors.
