Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical measurement technology, and in particular to a mechanical measurement device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical metrology includes measurements of mass, force, torque, hardness, pressure, vibration, impact, flow rate, velocity, rotational speed, capacity, and acceleration. Its theoretical basis is Newton's laws of motion, namely, force = mass × acceleration. Research in mechanical metrology plays a crucial role in various fields such as scientific research, production, and national defense. Hardness testing methods include Rockwell hardness, Brinell hardness, Vickers hardness, Leeb hardness, Shore hardness, and Barcol hardness. The Vickers hardness test is mainly used in materials research and scientific experiments. Low-load Vickers hardness testing is primarily used to test the hardness of small precision parts, the hardness and effective depth of surface hardened layers, and the surface properties of coatings. Hardness, including the hardness of thin sheet materials and fine wires, the hardness near the cutting edge of a knife, and the hardness of dental materials; because the test force used in the Vickers hardness test is very small, the appearance and performance of the sample are not affected; applicable ranges include heat-treated, carburized, quenched hardened layers, surface coatings, steel, non-ferrous metals, and small and thin parts, etc.; during the test, under the action of a certain test force, a square pyramidal indentation is pressed into the surface of the sample on the north side, and the length of the diagonal of the indentation is measured to calculate the surface area of ​​the indentation. The formula for calculating Vickers hardness is HV (Vickers hardness) = constant × test force / indentation surface area ≈ 0.1891F / d2.

[0003] Existing Vickers hardness measuring devices in mechanical metrology often use clamp-type fixing components to fix samples. However, clamps are difficult to control in terms of fixing force, which can easily cause deformation of samples with low hardness, thus affecting the accuracy of the hardness measurement. For thinner samples, clamps struggle to provide stable fixation, also leading to deformation. During hardness measurement, it is necessary to keep the sample surface as horizontal as possible. Most existing Vickers hardness measuring devices involve numerous and complex adjustment steps for leveling, resulting in low leveling efficiency, wasted measurement time, and significant difficulties in subsequent maintenance. This hinders widespread adoption and overall results in low cost-effectiveness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a Vickers hardness measuring device with a simple structure, stable fixation for samples of various shapes, and high leveling efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a mechanical measuring device and method to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the clamping and fixing components of the Vickers hardness measuring device disclosed in the prior art are difficult to control the fixing force, which can easily lead to deformation of the sample being tested. The leveling components have complex structures, many operation steps, and low leveling efficiency, which can easily lead to errors in the measurement results. In addition, the device has a complex structure and is difficult to maintain.

The upper end of the leveling base is equipped with a slide rail and a placement plate for placing and fixing the sample. The placement plate is fixedly connected to the center of the slide rail. The slide rail has four diagonally distributed openings, each with a fixing block installed on it. Each fixing block consists of an "L"-shaped screw, a matching nut, and a rubber washer. When the nut is not tightened, the fixing block can slide and adjust its position on the opening of the slide rail. By adjusting the relative position of the rubber washer and the screw, as well as the position of the fixing block on the slide rail, samples of different thicknesses and shapes can be fixed on the slide rail. Different sizes of rubber washers can be replaced according to the actual measurement conditions.

[0020] Step 2: Cut, slice, or process the sample to be measured into the required size. Place the processed sample on the plate and slide to adjust the position of the four fixing blocks. After the position is determined, tighten the matching nuts to fix the fixing blocks and keep the sample stable.

[0021] Step 3: Turn the height adjustment knob to lower the adjustment platform, pull out the telescopic plate, and then raise the adjustment platform so that the sample surface is against the long and thin telescopic plate.

The upper end of the leveling base 5 is equipped with a slide rail 503 and a placement plate 504 for placing and fixing the sample. The placement plate 504 is fixedly connected to the center of the slide rail 503. The slide rail 503 has four diagonally distributed openings, each with a fixing block 9 installed on it. The fixing block 9 consists of an "L"-shaped screw, a matching nut, and a rubber washer. When the nut is not tightened, the fixing block 9 can slide and adjust its position on the opening of the slide rail 503. By adjusting the relative position of the rubber washer and the screw, as well as the position of the fixing block 9 on the slide rail 503, samples of different thicknesses and shapes can be fixed on the slide rail 503.

[0052] Use of the mechanical measuring device of the present invention:

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Step 1: Apply this device to the Vickers hardness measurement work of a certain synthetic materials research and development department, check the installation and use of each component of the device to ensure that it can be used normally and can be switched on and off; rotate the height adjustment knob 601, and under the action of the adjustment table 6, the leveling sleeve will be exposed between the two partitions 3 to facilitate the placement of the sample.

[0055] Step 2: Cut, slice, or process the sample to be measured into the required size. Place the processed sample on the placement plate 504 and slide to adjust the position of the four fixing blocks 9. After the position is determined, tighten the matching nuts to fix the fixing blocks 9 and keep the sample to be measured stable.

[0056] Step 3: Rotate the height adjustment knob 601 to lower the adjustment platform 6, pull out the telescopic plate 4, and then raise the adjustment platform 6 so that the sample surface and the long and thin telescopic plate 4 are pressed against each other. At this time, the sample will automatically level under the pressure of the telescopic plate 4. At the same time, the leveling sleeve will swing to the left or right with the sample for a certain range and then stabilize. Turn the positioning knob 501 inward until it can no longer be turned. The end of the internal positioning rod 502 will tightly fix the leveling base 5 and the adjustment platform 6. The leveling is completed, and the total time is 4 minutes. Retract the telescopic plate 4 and adjust the height of the adjustment platform 6 until the sample is in a suitable position, and wait for the next measurement work.

[0057] Step 4: Connect the external power supply 7. Set the force and length of the indenter 201 using the turntable 206 and operation panel 205. Adjust the positions of the observation objective lens 202 and measuring lens 203. Observe the image displayed on the observation screen 204. Fine-tune the sample height or the indenter 201, observation objective lens 202, and measuring lens 203 to a suitable position. The measurement begins. The indenter 201 moves downward and presses the diamond indenter 201 into the surface of the sample with the set force. After holding for 10-15 seconds, the measuring lens 203 measures the diagonal length of the indentation. Finally, the Vickers hardness of the sample is calculated using the formula. Multiple measurements are performed, each taking 15-17 minutes.

[0058] Comparative Example 2: Steps for using an existing Vickers hardness measuring device for clamp-type fixed components:

[0059] Step 1: Apply this device to the Vickers hardness measurement work of a certain synthetic materials research and development department, check the installation and use of each component of the device, and ensure that it can be used and switched on normally;

[0060] Step 2: Place the prepared sample on the test tray and fix it with the clamp-type fixing component. During fixing, it can be observed that the sheet-like sample has slight wrinkles and cannot be kept horizontal because the clamping force cannot be adjusted. The sample is difficult to level.

[0061] Step 3: Adjust the indenter to be above the sample to be tested, press the switch, the indenter moves downward and presses the diamond indenter into the surface of the sample to be tested with the set force, hold for 10s-15s, the measuring device measures and records the diagonal length of the indentation, and finally uses the formula to calculate the Vickers hardness of the sample to be tested.

[0062] Step 4: After multiple measurements, the results differed significantly, making it impossible to quickly determine the most accurate measurement result.

[0063] Comparative Example 3: Procedure for using an existing Vickers hardness measuring device:

[0064] Step 1: Apply this device to the Vickers hardness measurement work of a certain synthetic materials research and development department, check the installation and use of each component of the device, and ensure that it can be used and switched on normally;

[0065] Step 2: Place the prepared sample on the test plate, fix the sample in place using the fixing component, start the leveling component, and after a series of steps such as adjusting the position of the sample, fixing, comparing the level, checking the leveling result and fine-tuning again, the sample is leveled, which takes 15 minutes. The leveling is then completed and ready to enter the measurement stage.

[0066] Step 3: Adjust the indenter to be above the sample to be tested, press the switch, the indenter moves downward and presses the diamond indenter into the surface of the sample to be tested with the set force, hold for 10s-15s, the measuring device measures and records the diagonal length of the indentation, and finally uses the formula to calculate the Vickers hardness of the sample to be tested.

[0067] Step 4 involves multiple measurements, each lasting 20 to 35 minutes. If internal parts are damaged or the sensitivity of the leveling components decreases, subsequent repairs will be time-consuming and laborious.

[0068] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the mechanical measuring device and method of the present invention can better control the fixing force and position when fixing different types of test samples. While fixing the sample, it can hardly cause the sample to deform or be damaged, and the measurement results can be more accurate.

[0069] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the mechanical measuring device and method of the present invention can achieve rapid leveling during leveling, saving time for preparation work before measurement, and the structure of the core components is simpler, reducing costs while achieving efficient leveling.

[0070] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.

4. The method for measuring Vickers hardness using a mechanical measuring device as described in claim 1. Its features are, Includes the following steps: Step (1): Check the installation and use of each component of the device to ensure that it can be used and switched on and off normally; rotate the height adjustment knob (601) to expose the leveling sleeve between the two partitions (3) for easy sample placement; Step (2): Place the sample on the placement plate (504), slide and adjust the position of the four fixing blocks (9), and tighten the matching nuts after the position is determined to fix the fixing blocks (9) and keep the sample under test stable. Step (3): Lower the adjustment platform (6), pull out the telescopic plate (4), and raise the adjustment platform (6) so that the sample surface is against the long and thin telescopic plate (4). The sample will automatically level under the pressure of the telescopic plate (4). At the same time, the leveling sleeve will tilt to the left or right with the sample. Turn the positioning knob (501) until it cannot be turned. Fix the leveling base (5) tightly to the adjustment platform (6). Retract the telescopic plate (4) and adjust the height of the adjustment platform (6) until the sample is in a suitable position. Step (4): Connect the external power supply (7), set the force and length of the indenter (201) through the turntable (206) and the operation panel (205), adjust the position of the observation objective (202) and the measuring mirror (203), and fine-tune the sample height or the indenter (201), observation objective (202), and measuring mirror (203) based on the observation image displayed on the observation screen (204). During the measurement, the indenter (201) moves downward and presses the diamond indenter (201) into the surface of the sample to be tested with the set force. After holding for 10s-15s, the measuring mirror (203) measures the diagonal length of the indentation. Finally, the Vickers hardness of the sample to be tested is calculated using the formula.
