[0026] In the description of the present application, unless explicitly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrated; can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example 1 - Sheet sample tensile test

[0028] As Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a high and low temperature loading tensile fixture for a tensile testing machine and a tensile testing method for sheet samples. The tensile fixture includes an upper tensile rod 3 and a lower tensile rod 10. Each of the upper tensile rod 3 and the lower tensile rod 10 is connected to a tensile clamp connector 4 at one end. The end of the tensile clamp connector 4 away from the upper tensile rod 3 or the lower tensile rod 10 is connected to a tensile clamp 6 via a thermal expansion screw 5. The tensile clamp 6 has a sliding groove inside, and a sample clamp baffle 7 is slidably connected to the sliding groove. The sample clamp baffle 7 has a spherical groove inside, and a sheet sample clamp 9 for clamping a sheet sample 8 is disposed in the spherical groove. The sheet sample clamp 9 is connected to the sample clamp baffle 7 through surface contact.

[0029] Furthermore, the ends of the upper tension rod 3 and the lower tension rod 10 are provided with through holes, and fastening pins 1 are installed in the through holes. The upper tension rod 3 and the lower tension rod 10 are connected to the tensioning machine by the fastening pins 1 and fixed with fastening nuts 2. During the high and low temperature tensioning process, due to the cooperation of the fastening pins 1 and the fastening nuts 2, the upper tension rod 3 and the lower tension rod 10 will not wobble.

[0030] Furthermore, the opposite ends of the upper tension rod 3 and the lower tension rod 10 are both connected to the tension clamp connector 4 via fastening pins 1 and fastening nuts 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the end of the tension clamp connector 4 away from the upper tension rod 3 or the lower tension rod 10 is provided with a threaded hole. The thermal expansion screw 5 passes through the threaded hole of the tension clamp connector 4 and the tension clamp 6 to fix the tension clamp connector 4 and the tension clamp 6. The tension clamp 6 has a sliding groove inside, through which the sample clamp baffle 7 can be installed, which facilitates the disassembly of the sample clamp baffle 7 and allows it to be replaced after it fails.

[0032] Furthermore, the sample clamp baffle 7 has a slit on its side, through which the sheet sample 8 passes into the sheet sample clamp 9, and is secured by the sample clamp teeth 11 provided in the sheet sample clamp 9.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the two ends of the sheet-like sample 8 are respectively clamped in a pair of sample clamp teeth 11. The inner surface of the sample clamp teeth 11 is patterned, providing good friction with the sheet-like sample 8 and preventing slippage during the stretching process. At the same time, the outer surface of the sample clamp teeth 11 cooperates with the inclined surface of the sheet-like sample clamp 9, becoming increasingly tighter as it is stretched.

[0034] Further, the outer surface of the sheet sample chuck 9 is matched with the spherical groove in the sample chuck baffle 7, so that the sheet sample chuck 9 is connected with the chuck baffle 7 through surface contact, which can maximize the uniaxiality in the stretching process.

[0035] Optionally, the width of the slit is 1-5 mm, preferably 3 mm.

[0036] Optionally, the stretching chuck connector 4 and the stretching chuck 6 are detachable, and other clamps such as compression clamps and three-point bending clamps can be replaced.

[0037] Optionally, the number of fastening pins 1 and fastening nuts 2 is four, and the number of stretching chuck connectors 4, heat expansion threaded rods 5, stretching chucks 6 and sample chuck baffles 7 is two.

[0038] The working principle of the present application is as follows: Figure 2 After the upper and lower parts of the stretching clamp are installed, the upper stretching rod 3 and the lower stretching rod 10 are pre-installed on the stretching machine through the through holes in the head and the fastening pins 1, then all the fastening nuts 2 are tightened to fix them, and they are placed in a high-low temperature oven. Adjust the position of the upper stretching rod 3 to reduce the distance between the upper and lower sample chuck baffles 7 so that the sheet sample 8 can enter. Figure 4 After the prepared sheet sample 8 passes through the slit of the sample chuck baffle 7, the upper and lower sheet sample chucks 9 are respectively in surface contact with the spherical groove in the upper and lower sample chuck baffles 7, the upper stretching rod 3 is adjusted, and a few N of pre-tightening force is applied, and thus the stretching clamp and the sheet sample 8 are installed. The stretching machine and the high-low temperature oven are used to load different temperature fields and stress fields on the sheet material to obtain the mechanical property parameters of the sheet material.

[0039] Example 2 - rod sample stretching experiment

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , 3, the present embodiment provides a rod sample stretching experiment method for a high-low temperature loading stretching clamp of a stretching machine. Referring to Example 1, after the upper and lower parts of the stretching clamp are installed, the upper stretching rod 3 and the lower stretching rod 10 are pre-installed on the stretching machine through the through holes in the head and the fastening pins 1, then all the fastening nuts 2 are tightened to fix them, and they are placed in a high-low temperature oven. As shown in Figure 6As shown, the rod-shaped sample 12 is screwed at both ends with the rod-shaped sample chuck 13. After the installation of the rod-shaped sample is completed, the position of the upper stretching rod 3 is adjusted to reduce the distance between the upper and lower sample chuck stoppers 7 so that the rod-shaped sample 12 can enter. After the rod-shaped sample 12 passes through the slit of the sample chuck stopper 7, the upper and lower rod-shaped sample chucks 13 are respectively in contact with the spherical recessed surfaces in the upper and lower sample chuck stoppers 7, the upper stretching rod 3 is adjusted, and a few N of pre-tightening force is applied. At this point, the stretching clamp is installed with the rod-shaped sample 13. The rod-shaped material is subjected to different temperature field and stress field loading by the stretching machine and the high-low temperature oven, and the mechanical property parameters of the rod-shaped material are obtained.

[0041] Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalent features by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
