Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of test equipment, and particularly relates to a creep rupture test system capable of power-off protection and reconnection and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to master the relevant mechanical properties of materials, people have designed various test machines for testing the mechanical properties of materials. At present, the test machines for measuring the mechanical properties of metal materials in creep rupture on the market mainly adopt a lever loading structure to provide tension to the sample, a heating furnace capable of setting temperature is additionally arranged outside the sample to heat the sample, after stretching for a certain time, the sample creeps until it breaks, and the relevant parameters of the material can be measured by the instrument. The basic structure of such a test machine is that the lever force loading mechanism is arranged at the top of the rack, the load is hung on the hanger at one end of the power arm of the lever, the sample is hung and clamped at one end of the resistance arm of the lever, a measuring instrument is connected to the sample, and a heating furnace capable of setting temperature is additionally arranged outside the sample. That is, the upper end of the sample is clamped and fixed (hung) at one end of the resistance arm of the lever, the lower end of the sample is clamped and connected to the transmission device, when the sample creeps and extends upward (the lower end of the sample is fixed by the transmission device and cannot displace), the lever tilts upward, and the load is hung at one end of the power arm of the lever.

[0003] The creep rupture test cycle is long, which is several tens of hours at the shortest and tens of thousands of hours at the longest. In order to ensure that the test machine is stable and continuous during the test process, a continuous power supply mode is generally provided in the creep rupture test room to ensure uninterrupted power supply of the equipment. However, in special cases, the uninterrupted power supply cannot meet the power-off needs, resulting in power-off of the test machine. After power-off, the sample may be abnormally broken due to excessive cooling shrinkage stress. Due to the time factor of the creep rupture test, the abnormal breakage of the sample with a test time of thousands or tens of thousands of hours will cause irreparable loss. In addition, the existing test system can protect the sample after power-off (CN113049380A-A method for protecting the sample from overload breakage during power-off of a creep rupture test machine), but manual recovery is still needed after the power recovery, which is low in efficiency and delays the test process. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned existing problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a creep rupture test system capable of power-off protection and reconnection and a working method thereof, which can avoid the problem of abnormal breakage of the sample due to excessive cooling shrinkage stress during power-off of the mechanical creep rupture test machine, and can reconnect and continue the test after power recovery, with high automation.

[0005] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0014] Preferably, the force value sensing device is connected with the lifting device through wireless communication.

[0015] The application further discloses a working method of the creep endurance test system capable of power-off protection and reconnection.

[0016] When the commercial power supply is interrupted, the electromagnetic unhooking device is powered by the uninterrupted power supply to normally maintain the preset loading force. When the commercial power supply is restored during the power supply period of the uninterrupted power supply, the test is normally conducted. When the commercial power supply is not restored and the uninterrupted power supply is powered off due to power consumption, the electromagnetic unhooking device is automatically unhooked, the lever force adding mechanism is kept in a free state, and the sample is not subjected to the load. When the commercial power supply is restored, the lifting device drives the weight tray to lift the weight upwards, the electromagnetic unhooking device is automatically attracted, the force value sensing device receives the force value signal and feeds back to the lifting device, the lifting device stops upward movement, and the weight tray is restored to the initial position, so that the sample is subjected to the load from the weight.

[0035] The electromagnetic unhooking device 3 includes two electromagnets. The first lifting rod 1-1 and the second lifting rod 1-2 are respectively connected to one electromagnet. When the two electromagnets are energized, they generate magnetic attraction force to tightly connect the first lifting rod 1-1 and the second lifting rod 1-2. When the power is off, the magnetic attraction force disappears and the first lifting rod 1-1 and the second lifting rod 1-2 separate.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the force sensing device 6 is a patch-type stress sensor.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the first lifting rod 1-1 is fixedly connected to the lever force-applying mechanism 2, and the lower end of the second lifting rod 1-2 is fixedly connected to the weight 4.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal width of the weight tray 5 is greater than that of the weight 4.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the weight tray 5 is provided with anti-skid devices such as rubber pads, nylon pads and the like.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, a damping buffer device is provided between the weight tray 5 and the lifting device 7.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the lifting device 7 is a hydraulic lifting device.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the force value sensing device 6 is connected with the lifting device 7 through wireless communication.

[0043] The working method of the creep rupture test system capable of power-off protection and reconnection comprises:

[0044] When the commercial power is off, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is powered by the uninterruptible power supply to normally maintain the preset loading force; during the power supply of the uninterruptible power supply, when the commercial power supply is restored, the test is normally carried out; when the commercial power supply is not restored and the power of the uninterruptible power supply is exhausted, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically unhooked, the lever force adding mechanism 2 is kept in a free state, and the test sample is not subjected to the load; after the commercial power supply is restored, the lifting device 7 drives the weight tray 5 to upwardly lift the weight 4, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically attracted, the force value sensing device 6 receives the force value signal and feeds back to the lifting device 7, the lifting device 7 stops upward movement, and the weight tray 5 is restored to the initial position, so that the test sample is subjected to the load from the weight 4.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the system records the time of automatic unhooking of the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 and the time of automatic attraction of the electromagnetic unhooking device 3, which is counted into the overall test time.

[0046] The present application will be further explained and described below in combination with a specific embodiment:

[0047] The boom in the conventional mechanical creep rupture test machine is replaced by the first boom 1-1 and the second boom 1-2, and the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is installed between the two booms, and the power supply interface of the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is connected with the output end of the uninterruptible power supply and the commercial power supply, wherein, in the power-on state, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 can ensure that the first boom 1-1 and the second boom 1-2 transmit the load to the lever force adding mechanism 2, for reference Figure 1 .

[0048] When the commercial power is off, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is powered by the uninterruptible power supply to normally maintain the preset loading force. During the power supply of the uninterruptible power supply, when the commercial power supply is restored, the test is normally carried out; when the commercial power supply is not restored and the power of the uninterruptible power supply is exhausted, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically unhooked, the lever force adding mechanism 2 is kept in a free state, and the test sample is not subjected to the load, for reference Figure 2 .

[0049] When the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is unhooked by itself due to power failure, the lever force adding mechanism 2 remains in a free state, and the sample is not subjected to load, thereby avoiding overload fracture of the sample caused by cooling contraction of the sample due to temperature drop of the heating furnace. When the power is restored, the lifting device 7 automatically lifts the weight 4 upward with the weight tray 5, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically attracted, and the force value sensing device 6 at the top of the equipment receives the force value signal, which is fed back to the lifting device 7 to stop upward movement and restore the weight tray 5 to the initial position.

[0050] The electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is normally connected when the power is normally supplied, so that the test machine can ensure that the load is transmitted to the lever force adding mechanism 2 through the first hoist 1-1 and the second hoist 1-2. When power failure occurs, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically unhooked, so that the lever force adding mechanism 2 is in a free state and is not subjected to force. When the power is restored, the lifting device 7 automatically lifts the weight 4 upward with the weight tray 5, the electromagnetic unhooking device 3 is automatically attracted, and the force value sensing device 6 at the top of the equipment receives the force value signal, which is fed back to the lifting device 7 to stop upward movement and restore the weight tray 5 to the initial position.

[0051] When the power is restored, the mechanical creep and durability test machine can automatically restore the temperature and load the test force without any manual processing. When the first hoist 1-1 and the second hoist 1-2 are unhooked by themselves due to power failure, the lever force adding mechanism 2 remains in a free state, thereby avoiding overload fracture of the sample caused by cooling contraction of the sample due to temperature drop of the heating furnace.

[0052] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, or equivalent structures or equivalent process conversions, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
