[0036] In this embodiment, the visual sensor 304, the temperature control system 305, the exhaust system 306, the rotating system 308, the heating system 310, the first electromagnetic valve 314, the second electromagnetic valve 316, the electric push rod 413, the mechanical load mechanism 5 and the control platform 2 are electrically connected during use. One end of each of the two air inlet pipes 402 is connected to an external air cooling device through a flange. The movable flaps 319 on both sides of the detection box 301 are circumferentially distributed outside the two heating systems 310, respectively, as shown in Figure 7When the mold sample needs to be cooled after the heating simulation of the heating system 310 in the material thermal fatigue detection assembly 3, the heating system 310 is turned off, and the first cooling of the penetrating hole 311 is performed through the annular cooling groove 312, so that the temperature of the penetrating hole 311 and the inner side wall of the detection box 301 is reduced. Then, the two electric push rods 413 are started to push the sliding plate 412 and the annular plate 410 to slide on the outer surface of the support rod 414, and to push the annular air pipe 401, the air inlet pipe 402 and the fixed plate 409 to move, so that one end of the plurality of heat insulation sleeves 404 distributed in a circle is first moved into the corresponding penetrating hole 311, and during the movement, the movable flap 319 is lifted up, so that the bottom of the movable flap 319 falls onto the outer surface of the heat insulation sleeve 404. When the electric push rod 413 is automatically turned off, one end of the heat insulation sleeve 404 moves into the detection box 301 and approaches the sample, and at the same time, the cold air pipe 403 penetrates into the penetrating hole 311. Then, the external air cooling equipment is started to deliver cold air into the annular air pipe 401 through the air inlet pipe 402, and the cold air is blown out through the plurality of cold air pipes 403. At this time, the cold air will continue to move outward along the inner wall of the heat insulation sleeve 404, and the cold air will be blown to the surface of the sample through the air outlet of the heat insulation sleeve 404, simulating the mold cooling process. The vacuum cavity 405 is arranged at the inner and outer layers of the heat insulation sleeve 404, which eliminates the air convection between the outside of the heat insulation sleeve 404 and the inside of the heat insulation sleeve 404, greatly reducing the heat conduction; the high-reflective coating coated on the inner wall of the heat insulation cavity 406 can reflect heat radiation, reducing the heat transfer to the cold air pipe 403 inside the heat insulation sleeve 404 through radiation; the metal foil reflecting screen 408 can further reflect residual heat radiation, and the bending structure can increase the reflection times of heat radiation, so that the energy of the radiation heat is attenuated after multiple reflections between layers, reducing the penetration efficiency of the radiation heat; the honeycomb porous heat insulation plate 407 suppresses heat conduction and small air convection through the porous structure, and blocks heat by using the low thermal conductivity of the material itself. Under the combination of the vacuum cavity 405, the honeycomb porous heat insulation plate 407 and the metal foil reflecting screen 408, the heat insulation sleeve 404 forms a "reflection + vacuum + porous heat insulation" triple barrier to block heat transfer from three dimensions of heat radiation, heat conduction and heat convection, ensuring that the cooling air in the cold air pipe 403 is stable in temperature, so that the cold air blowing will not be affected by the heat of the air cooling port, causing the temperature to rise and affecting the cooling speed and effect, which is beneficial to improve the precision and efficiency of the mold thermal fatigue detection. When the material thermal fatigue detection assembly 3 is working, the cold air pipe 403 and the heat insulation sleeve 404 are located outside the detection box 301 under the pull of the electric push rod 413, avoiding the temperature of the cold air pipe 403 from rising due to heat absorption during the heating process. Under the action of the heat insulation sleeve 404, the heat insulation protection distance is increased, the cold air heat insulation path is prolonged, and the contact time of the cold air with the surrounding hot air is reduced, so that the cold air can better maintain a low temperature state and blow to the sample, improving the cooling effect on the sample and being beneficial to improve the overall detection efficiency.Thanks to the heat absorption protection component 4, the problem that the air cooling port is affected by heating during the thermal fatigue testing of die-casting mold samples, resulting in a higher temperature and thus a higher actual temperature of the cold air blown onto the mold sample, affecting the cooling rate, prolonging the cooling time, and reducing the overall testing efficiency is solved.
[0037] Example 2: Figures 2-8 As shown, the material thermal fatigue testing assembly 3 includes a testing box 301. Multiple through holes 311 are provided on both outer surfaces of the testing box 301. Two annular cooling grooves 312 are provided inside the testing box 301. The annular cooling grooves 312 are responsible for cooling the through holes 311, initially reducing the heat transferred to the heat-absorbing component 4. A testing plate 303 is bolted to the rear surface of the testing box 301. A vision sensor 304 is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the testing plate 303. A rotation system 308 is provided on the bottom surface inside the testing box 301. The top of the rotation system 308... The lower clamp 309 is provided, and the bottom end of the mechanical load mechanism 5 is movably connected to the upper clamp 307. The bottom end of the mechanical load mechanism 5 extends movably into the interior of the testing box 301. A box plate 302 is fixedly installed inside the testing box 301. A testing window 322 is provided inside the box plate 302. Heating systems 310 are provided on both sides inside the testing box 301. A temperature control system 305 is provided at the top of the rear surface of the box plate 302. An exhaust system 306 is provided at the bottom of the rear surface of the box plate 302. Multiple movable slots 317 are provided on both sides inside the testing box 301. Each of the 317 has a fixed rod 318 inside. Each of the fixed rods 318 has a movable flip cover 319 movably fitted onto its outer surface. Each of the movable flip covers 319 has a gravity block 320 fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of its outer surface. Each of the movable flip covers 319 has a heat insulation pad 321 fixedly connected to its other side of its outer surface. Seven heat insulation pads 321 are distributed circumferentially as a group. The outer surfaces of two groups of heat insulation pads 321 respectively contact the two sides inside the detection box 301. The movable flip cover 319 covers the insertion hole 311 and is connected to the heat insulation pad 319. 21. The insertion holes 311 are sealed to prevent heat from escaping from the insertion holes 311 when the inside of the test chamber 301 is heated. A sealing door is provided on the front surface of the test chamber 301. The bottom of the test chamber 301 and the bottom of the rotating system 308 are fixedly installed on the top of the test body 1. The multiple insertion holes 311 are distributed in groups of seven per circumference. Two annular cooling grooves 312 are located at the two groups of insertion holes 311 respectively. One end of the two cooling water inlet pipes 313 and one end of the two cold water drain pipes 315 are fixedly extended to the outer surface of the test chamber 301.
[0038] In this embodiment, when in use, the sheet-shaped sample taken off from the die casting mold is clamped and fixed in the upper clamp 307 and the lower clamp 309. The top end of the upper clamp 307 is movably embedded in the inside of the bottom end of the mechanical load mechanism 5, and can rotate together with the lower clamp 309 and the clamped and fixed sheet-shaped sample. After the sample is fixed, the sealing door is closed, and an observation window is opened on the sealing door. Then, the two heating systems 310 and the rotating system 308 are started by the control platform 2. The heating system 310 generates heat to heat the sample, simulating the heating process when the mold contacts the high-temperature metal, and under the action of the rotating system 308, the sample is rotated and heated. At the same time, the temperature inside the detection box 301 is detected by the temperature control system 305, and the power of the heating system 310 is adjusted according to the temperature change to accurately control the heating time. After heating is completed, the rotating sample is air-cooled by the anti-heat-sucking assembly 4 to reduce the sample temperature, simulate the rapid cooling process after the mold is demolded, and realize the cold and hot cycle. The gas in the detection box 301 can be discharged through the exhaust system 306. The visual sensor 304 is started in advance, and the sample surface is periodically photographed through the detection window 322 to observe the surface crack initiation and propagation, and the photographed image information is transmitted to the control platform 2 in the form of electrical signal for identification and analysis. The detection software runs on the computer host to store and analyze data. Repeat the above heating and cooling process to form a periodic thermal stress. After each cycle, the visual sensor 304 automatically photographs the sample surface, and the detection software in the control platform 2 measures the crack length by image recognition technology, draws a “cycle number-crack length” curve, analyzes the difference in thermal fatigue resistance of different materials or processes, and when the crack length reaches a critical value or the sample is broken, the equipment automatically stops cycling. Taking the crack initiation or propagation to a certain length as the end of life reflects the ability of the material to resist thermal fatigue damage as the thermal fatigue life. The rotating system 308 is paused, and the mechanical load mechanism 5 is started to apply static stress such as tension to the sample through the upper clamp 307 and the lower clamp 309 to measure the mechanical stress and realize “thermal-mechanical fatigue” composite detection. The movable flaps 319 are covered at the insertion holes 311, and the insertion holes 311 are sealed by the heat insulation pads 321 to prevent heat loss from the insertion holes 311 when the inside of the detection box 301 is heated, which does not affect the heating efficiency of the material. As shown in Figure 7 , the gravity blocks 320 are located at the bottom of the movable flaps 319, so that the center of gravity of the movable flaps 319 moves to the bottom. When the anti-heat-sucking assembly 4 works, the movable flaps 319 are lifted up from the insertion holes 311, and when the anti-heat-sucking assembly 4 resets, the lifted movable flaps 319 automatically flip down under the action of the bottom center of gravity, cover the insertion holes 311 again, and make the heat insulation pads 321 seal the insertion holes 311 again.
[0039] Embodiment Three: Figures 5-9As shown, the material thermal fatigue detection assembly 3 includes a detection box 301. Multiple through-holes 311 are formed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the detection box 301. Two annular cooling grooves 312 are formed in the interior of the detection box 301. The annular cooling grooves 312 are responsible for cooling the through-holes 311 and preliminarily reducing the heat transferred to the heat absorption prevention assembly 4. Cooling water inlets 313 are fixedly connected to the top surfaces inside the two annular cooling grooves 312. First electromagnetic valves 314 are arranged on the outer surfaces of the two cooling water inlets 313. Cold water outlets 315 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces inside the two annular cooling grooves 312. Second electromagnetic valves 316 are arranged on the outer surfaces of the two cold water outlets 315. Multiple movable grooves 317 are formed on both sides of the interior of the detection box 301. Multiple fixed rods 318 are fixedly installed inside the multiple movable grooves 317. Multiple movable flaps 319 are movably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the multiple fixed rods 318. Gravity blocks 320 are fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of the outer surfaces of the multiple movable flaps 319. Heat insulation pads 321 are fixedly connected to the other side of the outer surfaces of the multiple movable flaps 319. Seven heat insulation pads 321 circumferentially distributed in each group. The outer surfaces of the two groups of heat insulation pads 321 are respectively in contact with the two sides of the interior of the detection box 301. The movable flaps 319 cover the through-holes 311 and seal the through-holes 311 by the heat insulation pads 321, so as to prevent the heat from flowing outwards from the through-holes 311 when the interior of the detection box 301 is heated.
[0040] In use, one end of the cooling water inlet 313 is connected with an external cold water device, and the cold water outlet 315 is connected with an external circulation device. When the sample completes the heating simulation and needs to be cooled, the first electromagnetic valve 314 and the external cold water device are started. The cooling water is transported into the cooling water inlet 313 through the cold water device, and then the cooling water flows into the annular cooling groove 312. When the annular cooling groove 312 is filled with cooling water, the second electromagnetic valve 316 is automatically started, and the cooling water is discharged through the cold water outlet 315. By continuously flowing the cooling water in the annular cooling groove 312, the through-holes 311 can be cooled, and the temperature of the two sides of the interior of the detection box 301 can be reduced, so as to preliminarily cool the path where the cold air pipe 403 is inserted into the detection box 301, reduce the heat transfer from the through-holes 311 to the cold air pipe 403, and play an auxiliary heat insulation effect, which is conducive to the stable output of the cooling air of the cold air pipe 403 and the efficient cooling of the sample.
[0041] The effect and working principle of the whole mechanism are as follows: the mold sample is clamped and fixed in the upper clamp 307 and the lower clamp 309. The control platform 2 starts the two heating systems 310 and the rotating system 308. The heating system 310 generates heat to simulate the heating process of the mold when it contacts high-temperature metal. Under the action of the rotating system 308, the sample is rotated and heated. At the same time, the temperature control system 305 accurately controls the heating time and rate. Through the anti-heat absorption component 4, the rapid cooling process after the mold demolding is simulated to realize the cold and hot cycle. The visual sensor 304 periodically shoots the sample surface to observe the surface crack initiation and propagation, and transmits the photographed image information to the control platform 2 for identification and analysis. The computer host runs the detection software to measure the crack length through image recognition technology, reflecting the material's resistance to thermal fatigue damage. The first electromagnetic valve 314 and the external cold water equipment are started, and the cooling water is delivered into the cooling water inlet pipe 313 through the cooling water equipment, and then the cooling water flows into the annular cooling tank 312. When the annular cooling tank 312 is filled with cooling water, the second electromagnetic valve 316 is automatically started, and the cooling water is discharged through the cooling water drain pipe 315 to cool the through-hole 311 and reduce the temperature on both sides of the detection box 301. Start two electric push rods 413 to push the moving plate 412 and the annular plate 410 to move, and push the annular air pipe 401, the air inlet pipe 402 and the fixed plate 409 to move, so that one end of the heat insulation sleeve 404 passes through the through-hole 311, and continues to move to lift the movable flap 319 upward. When the electric push rod 413 is automatically closed, one end of the heat insulation sleeve 404 moves into the detection box 301 and approaches the sample. Then start the external air cooling equipment, deliver the cold air into the annular air pipe 401 through the air inlet pipe 402, and blow out the cold air through the multiple cold air pipes 403. At this time, the cold air will continue to move outward along the inner wall of the heat insulation sleeve 404, and blow the cold air to the sample surface through the air outlet of the heat insulation sleeve 404, simulating the mold cooling process. Under the combination of the vacuum cavity 405, the honeycomb porous heat insulation plate 407 and the metal foil reflecting screen 408, the heat insulation sleeve 404 forms a "reflection + vacuum + porous heat insulation" triple barrier, which blocks heat transfer from three dimensions of heat radiation, heat conduction and heat convection, ensuring that the cooling air in the cold air pipe 403 is stable in temperature, so that the cold air is not affected by the heat of the air cooling port when blowing. And when the material thermal fatigue detection assembly 3 works, the cold air pipe 403 and the heat insulation sleeve 404 are located outside the detection box 301 under the pull of the electric push rod 413, avoiding the temperature of the cold air pipe 403 from being too high due to heat absorption during the heating process.
[0042] Among them, the control platform 2, the visual sensor 304, the temperature control system 305, the exhaust system 306, the rotating system 308, the heating system 310, the first electromagnetic valve 314, the second electromagnetic valve 316, the electric push rod 413 and the mechanical load mechanism 5 are all prior art, and their components and use principles are all public technology, which will not be explained here.
