Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of friction and wear testing, in particular to a disc clamp used for a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine. Background Art

[0002] Reciprocating friction and wear testing machine is a commonly used equipment to explore the tribological behavior of materials. Generally, reciprocating friction and wear testing machine is divided into two modules, namely the loading module and the reciprocating module, and the sample fixture of at least one module can be moved to change the experimental position of the sample. However, there are still some reciprocating friction and wear testing machines in which the loading and reciprocating modules are integrated, and the upper and lower sample fixtures cannot change positions, resulting in a sample that can only be tested once, greatly reducing the sample utilization rate; in addition, the fixture of the traditional reciprocating friction and wear testing machine either fastens the perforated sample to the fixture with screws, and for the sample that cannot be effectively punched, the result of the clamping experiment will appear; or the sample is pressed by fasteners; the two types of fixtures can clamp samples of a single size, and the sample disassembly is complicated, reducing the experimental efficiency.

[0003] Taking the TRM-2000 friction and wear tester as an example, the linear oscillation module (reciprocating friction) currently provides load and reciprocates on the upper sample, and the lower sample is fixed to the tester by fasteners. The size of the fasteners is fixed and cannot clamp samples of other sizes, and the position is fixed. Since the upper and lower sample fixtures have no movement or rotation function, a sample can only be replaced after one experiment, and the operation steps are cumbersome, wasting materials and time.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN 112014206 A discloses a universal fixture for a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine, in which the sample is placed on a crossbeam, the left and right symmetrical slide blocks of the sample are clamped by a screw rod, and the sample is clamped between the slide block and the crossbeam by a set screw, thereby achieving a secure clamping of flat workpieces of various sizes. This fixing method determines that the sample cannot be simply and accurately rotated and adjusted, and cannot be changed in position, and only serves to fix the sample. Summary of the invention
