Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing device technology, specifically relating to a device for testing the impact resistance of daily-use ceramics. Background Technology
[0002] The impact resistance of daily-use ceramics is one of the main indicators for measuring their resistance to impact. With the development of science and technology and the widespread application of mechanized catering, steam cleaning and disinfection, and microwave oven heating equipment, people have placed higher demands on the impact resistance of daily-use ceramics. Currently, some countries have established impact resistance testing methods for daily-use ceramics. For example, the United States has published ASTM C368-1988 (2024), and my country has published GB / T38494-2020 and QB / T1993-2012 impact methods. These standard methods specify the impact method as follows: the sample is placed in a fixed position, a pendulum is placed at a predetermined energy position, the pendulum is released to impact the sample, and a secondary impact is avoided by using a shield or other object to block the pendulum. The sample is then removed from the test, and the presence or absence of cracks or damage is observed. The impact energy at which cracks or damage occur is recorded. Ceramic impact resistance testing equipment has also been designed for the implementation of these standard methods. The working principle of this equipment is to check whether the sample cracks under specified energy clamping conditions. The magnitude of the impact energy directly reflects the resistance to impact. These standard methods specify the impact site as the bottom / edge, using only the bottom / edge impact strength to characterize the product's impact resistance, without considering the handle's impact strength. Furthermore, the testing equipment used in these standard methods is a pendulum impact tester (initial value 0.027J, graduation value no greater than 0.02J). This device works by releasing a pendulum from a certain height to its lowest point, converting potential energy into kinetic energy to impact the ceramic, causing cracks or breakage, thus characterizing the impact strength of the ceramic. This device can be used to test the bottom / edge impact strength / body impact of ceramic products, but cannot impact the handle. Therefore, considering the following shortcomings of existing technology: it can only test the bottom / edge and cannot fix the handle; the pendulum structure is complex and prone to secondary impacts; and the impact energy adjustment is inflexible (initial value 0.027J), it is necessary to develop a new impact resistance testing device for ceramic products to meet the current higher requirements for the impact strength of ceramic products.

[0006] An impact adjuster includes a height-adjustable support frame and a steel ball support rod. The support rod is horizontally movable and mounted on the support frame. A detachable steel ball is provided at the end of the support rod and is located on one side of the sample holder.
[0007] Furthermore, the sample holder includes: two vertically arranged threaded posts; a fixing nut that mates with the threaded posts; and a vertical steel plate that presses the handle or edge of the ceramic sample with the nut.
[0008] Furthermore, the impact adjuster also includes: two upright cylinders; a height-adjusting threaded column and a bottom sliding support plate. The cylinders and threaded column are sequentially arranged through the support frame and the sliding support plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] The support frame is made of stainless steel, with dimensions of 350×210mm and four support points at the bottom, supporting three-dimensional movement (lifting 255mm / vertical movement 230mm / horizontal movement 150mm).
