Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hardness testing, and in particular to a dynamic hardness testing device and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] When the material is impacted, along with the start of the contact impact, the impacted object will give the impact head a resistance, causing the impact head speed to drop to zero, and then accelerate away from the object in the reverse direction. This impact time △T is directly related to the hardness of the material. The shorter the time, the greater the hardness.

[0003] Among the existing hardness test instruments, static hardness testers such as Brinell hardness, Vickers hardness, Rockwell hardness, Shore hardness, etc. all use an indenter to apply a force to an object to measure the size of the compression deformation or the size of the scratch. Impact hardness testers such as Shore hardness and Leeb hardness calculate the hardness based on the impact rebound height or the impact velocity ratio.

[0004] After fatigue aging, many materials, including rubber, have little change in static hardness, but the speed of impact recovery has changed greatly. The rubber hardness measured by the impact method of Leeb and Shore hardness testers has a completely different trend from the Shore hardness, and rebound cannot be used to characterize the hardness. Using impact time as a hardness measurement method, after testing a variety of materials, dynamic hardness can be easily measured. Compared with static hardness, it can better reflect the recovery deformation speed of the material when it is impacted. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dynamic hardness testing device and a testing method to conveniently measure the dynamic hardness, which can better reflect the recovery deformation speed of the material when it is impacted compared with the static hardness.

[0006] According to one purpose of the present invention, the present invention provides a dynamic hardness testing device, including a loading sleeve, a guide tube, an escapement rod and a monitoring device, wherein a support seat is fixed to the bottom end of the guide tube, the top end of the guide tube is located at the inner layer of the bottom end of the loading sleeve and is slidably connected to the loading sleeve, the escapement rod penetrates the interior of the loading sleeve and the guide tube from top to bottom, an impact body is clamped at the bottom of the escapement rod, and a permanent magnet is arranged inside the impact body; the monitoring device is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom of the guide tube, an induction coil is arranged inside the monitoring device, and the induction coil is connected to an external test instrument through a wire.

The bottom of the escapement rod is slidably connected to the escapement hook, and an inclined slide groove is provided inside the escapement hook. The escapement rod can open the escapement hook by moving downward; a release spring is also provided at the bottom of the guide sleeve, and the release spring is located on the outside of the escapement hook. The release spring is installed between the guide sleeve and the impact body.

[0009] Furthermore, a rod sleeve is provided on the outside of the escapement rod, the escapement rod is slidably connected to the rod sleeve, and the rod sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper part of the loading sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the spring fixing block is larger than the bottom opening diameter of the loading sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the escapement hook is located above the monitoring device.

[0012] Further, the stiffness coefficient of the loading spring is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the releasing spring.

[0017] S3, take the point where the maximum speed drops by 2%, and the point where the speed is 2% lower than the minimum speed, subtract them to get △T, and use the formula (3.5-△T) / 0.035 to get the dynamic hardness.

[0032] A loading spring 5 is provided inside the loading sleeve 1, and the loading spring 5 is located between the top of the guide tube 2 and the loading sleeve 1. A spring fixing block 6 for fixing the loading spring 5 is provided at the top of the guide tube 2, and the outer diameter of the spring fixing block 6 is larger than the bottom opening diameter of the loading sleeve 1. A pressing button 7 is provided at the top of the loading sleeve 1, and a reset spring 21 is provided between the pressing button 7 and the loading sleeve 1, and the bottom of the pressing button 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the escapement rod 3.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a guide sleeve 8 is provided inside the guide tube 2, and the guide sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring fixing block 6. A release hook 9 for clamping the impact body 4 is fixed to the bottom of the guide sleeve 8, and the release hook 9 is located above the monitoring device.

[0034] The bottom of the escapement rod 3 is slidably connected to the escapement hook 9, and an inclined slide groove 10 is provided inside the escapement hook 9. The escapement rod 3 moves downward to open the escapement hook 9; a release spring 11 is also provided at the bottom of the guide sleeve 8, and the stiffness coefficient of the loading spring 5 is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the release spring 11. The release spring 11 is located on the outside of the escapement hook 9, and the release spring 11 is installed between the guide sleeve 8 and the impact body 4.

[0035] A rod sleeve 12 is provided on the outside of the escapement rod 3 , the escapement rod 3 is slidably connected to the rod sleeve 12 , and the rod sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the loading sleeve 1 .

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the external test instrument is provided with a display screen 13 and a command keyboard 14. The display screen 13 displays a dynamic hardness value 15, an impact body type 16, a speed ratio 17, a △T impact time 18 and an impact direction 19. The external test instrument is provided with a storage module and a data transmission module.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a dynamic hardness testing method, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1, the monitoring device is connected to an external test instrument, and the external test instrument is set with parameters;

[0039] S2, the support seat is pressed on the test interface of the test piece, and the measurement work starts after it is stable. The release button is pressed, the escapement hook opens and separates from the impact body, and the impact body is ejected under the action of the release spring. When the ejected impact body passes through the induction coil located in the monitoring device, the voltage generated by the permanent magnet in the impact body in the induction coil is proportional to the speed, so as to obtain the curve of impact speed and time;

[0040] S3, take the point where the maximum speed drops by 2%, and the point where the speed is 2% lower than the minimum speed, subtract them to get △T, and use the formula (3.5-△T) / 0.035 to get the dynamic hardness.

[0041] After the test is completed, the loading sleeve is pressed down and the guide tube slides upward relative to the loading sleeve. At this time, the loading spring is compressed, and the escapement rod and the rod sleeve are driven downward. Press the release button to make the escapement hook open and hook the impact body, and release the loading sleeve. At this time, the loading spring in a compressed state begins to rebound, and the escapement rod returns to its initial position under the action of the loading spring. The release spring is compressed during the rebound process, and the release button also returns to its initial position under the action of the reset spring.

[0042] The present invention provides a new dynamic hardness test method. When the magnetic impact body passes through the induction coil, a high-speed acquisition circuit is used 100 times per millisecond to capture the speed change at the moment of impact and record it. The impact time △T is obtained by subtracting the point where the speed starts to drop by 2% from the point where it rebounds 2% from the maximum speed. After measuring a variety of materials, it is found that the impact speed of the softest rubber material does not exceed 3.5 milliseconds, and the impact speed of the hardest rubber is only 0.25 milliseconds, so (3.5-△T) / 0.035 is used to calculate the dynamic hardness, ranging from 0-100.

[0043] During the entire test process, the workpiece, the device and the operator should remain stable. If the value is obviously too high or too low during the test, the test value can be deleted and the rebound test can be performed again. When performing a dynamic hardness test, the impact direction can be in any direction, that is, the direction of the impact body can be in any direction.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
