Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of creep testing, in particular to a micro-sample creep testing device. Background Art
[0002] Creep testing is a mechanical property test used to determine whether a material undergoes slow plastic deformation under long-term constant temperature and constant force stress. With the continuous development of aerospace technology, the manufacturing and use requirements for components such as engines are becoming increasingly stringent. Aeroengines operate under very harsh conditions, requiring them to operate under high temperature, high pressure, and high-speed rotation. To improve the performance and reliability of aeroengines, standard specimens are usually preferred for long-term creep performance analysis of materials and components. Therefore, corresponding tooling design is required to meet the test requirements. This solution specifically involves a micro-specimen creep test device.
[0003] Due to shape and size limitations, some equipment cannot meet the requirements for preparing standard-sized specimens and can only produce micro-sized specimens. Or even if the material size can support the sampling of rod-shaped specimens, due to limitations in turning process conditions, there will be a certain degree of material waste, and the material cannot be fully utilized to prepare a sufficient number of specimens.

[0025] In this embodiment, the interior of the groove 6 is used to clamp the clamping block 10, and the two clamping blocks 10 are used to be fixed at the two ends of the specimen 11. The two chucks 4 are used to clamp the specimen 11. The clamping blocks 10 at both ends of the specimen 11 are used to be clamped in the groove 6 for assembly. The groove 6 is aligned by adjusting the two chucks 4 to avoid generating a torsional torque on the specimen 11.
[0026] In this embodiment, the two chucks 4 are symmetrically installed, and the side view of the groove 6 is an inverted "T" shape. The clamping block 10 is clamped through the groove 6, and the specimen 11 is pressed against the bottom of the groove to ensure that the axis of the specimen coincides with the direction of the test force loading, which facilitates the assembly and fixation of the specimen 11.
[0027] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 8 is located on the outside of the planar groove 5 and is matched with each other. The inner end of the bolt 9 passes through the interior of the fixing plate 8 and is threadedly connected to the chuck 4. The fixing plate 8 is fixed by the connection of the bolt 9 to prevent the specimen 11 from being affected by shear or torsion during loading.
[0028] In this embodiment, the main viewing surfaces of the specimen 11 and the two clamping blocks 10 are arranged in an "I" shape, and the clamping blocks 10 and the grooves 6 are arranged in a clamping connection. Through the clamping connection between the clamping blocks 10 and the grooves 6, the two clamping blocks 10 of the specimen 11 are fixed, so that the two chucks 4 can perform creep experiments on the specimen 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, the top and bottom ends of the two chucks 4 are respectively installed with connecting components 3, and the connecting components 3 include pull rods 13. The two pull rods 13 are respectively installed at the top and bottom ends of the two chucks 4. The ends of the pull rods 13 are provided with screw holes 14, and the outer periphery of the chuck 4 is provided with threaded grooves 12 near the bottom ends. The two chucks 4 are respectively connected and fixed to the two pull rods 13 through the connection between the threaded grooves 12 and the screw holes 14. The test machine 1 is operated to load to the initial load along the tensile direction, tighten the specimen 11 and eliminate the tiny gaps between the components on the loading chain.
[0030] In this embodiment, the two pull rods 13 are symmetrically installed. The two pull rods 13 are respectively used to be installed at the top and bottom ends of the two chucks 4. The pull rods 13 are used to be fixed to the testing machine 1. Through the connection between the two pull rods 13 and the two chucks 4, the creep test is performed on the specimen 11.
[0031] In this embodiment, the thread groove 12 and the screw hole 14 are threadedly connected, and the chuck 4 is connected to the screw hole 14 through the thread groove 12, thereby connecting the chuck 4 to the end of the pull rod 13 of the testing machine 1, so that the two chucks 4 are fixed.
[0032] It should be noted that the present invention is a micro-sample creep test device. When in use, the threaded groove 12 of the chuck 4 is respectively connected to the ends of the upper and lower pull rods 13 in the high-temperature creep endurance tester 1, so that the grooves 6 in the chuck 4 are aligned with each other, and the tester 1 is operated. The spacing of the chuck 4 is adjusted to a suitable position, and one end of the test piece 11 is placed in the chuck 4 at the upper end, and the clamping block 10 of the test piece 11 is inserted into the groove 6. The test piece 11 is pressed against the bottom of the groove to ensure that the axis of the sample coincides with the direction of the test force loading. The fixing plate 8 covers the outside of the plane groove 5 in the chuck 4 to prevent the clamping block 10 and the test piece 11 from falling off from the groove 6. The fixing plate 8 is locked with a bolt 9. In the same way , connect the other end of the specimen 11 to the chuck 4 at the lower end, and insert the clamp 10 into the groove 6 and fix it through the fixing plate 8. At the same time, adjust the angle of the chuck 4 so that the grooves 6 in the chuck 4 at the upper and lower ends are aligned to avoid generating a torsional moment on the specimen 11. After the assembly is stable, operate the testing machine 1 to load to the initial load in the tensile direction, tighten the specimen 11 and eliminate the tiny gaps between the components on the loading chain. If it is a creep test, a lead-out rod and a grating scale device can be installed on the rib 7 of the chuck 4 to measure the deformation of the specimen during the test. Apply a certain tensile force to the specimen 11 and observe the deformation of the grating scales on both sides. Fine-tune the tooling so that the deformation readings on both sides remain consistent. After the assembly is completed, the test can be started.
