Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clamps, in particular to an integral clamp containing an inner flow channel. Background Art

[0002] Fixtures, tooling, and fluid piping systems are commonly used in various hydraulic, structural, and control test benches. When a test bench has a base excitation and contains a large number of hydraulic lines, piping layout design becomes more complex. Height overlap is unavoidable, and maintaining vertical spacing between the lines requires excessive space. During fixture and piping design, the fixture must be lightweight, yet its natural frequencies within the operating frequency range must be minimized, ensuring rigidity. Furthermore, overlapping piping can easily cause vibration-induced collisions and failure, necessitating the addition of structures such as brackets and valve blocks to stabilize the piping. This increases complexity and weight. Space is limited on a base excitation test bench for different test pieces, and once filled with test pieces, designing piping layout becomes challenging. Frequent fixture resonance in some tests necessitated frequent stops during operation, impacting test progress. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, an integral fixture with an inner flow channel includes:

[0040] A bottom plate 5 having a bottom plate flow channel structure 4 and an oil inlet 14 and an oil outlet 13 connected to the bottom plate flow channel structure 4;

[0041] The valve block 2 connected to the bottom plate 5 has a valve block flow channel structure 6 and a plurality of valve block side surfaces 2a, and the plurality of valve block side surfaces 2a are connected in pairs through the valve block flow channel structure 6;

[0042] At least one stopper 1 connected to the bottom plate 5, having a stopper flow channel structure 3 and a plurality of stopper side surfaces 1a, wherein the plurality of stopper side surfaces 1a are connected in pairs through the stopper flow channel structure 3;

[0043] The bottom plate 5 , the stopper 1 and the valve block 2 form a test piece installation area.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom plate 5 has a plurality of bottom plate side surfaces 5 a , and both ends of the plurality of bottom plate flow channels 12 pass through the bottom plate side surfaces 5 a and form the oil inlet 14 and / or the oil outlet 13 .

[0045] Specifically, the bottom plate flow channel structure 4 includes at least one bottom plate flow channel 12, and at least one bottom plate flow channel 12 connected to the oil outlet 13 is arranged downwardly inclined to the bottom plate 5, preferably inclined at 0.36°, to facilitate oil return.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom plate flow channel structure 4 includes two bottom plate flow channels 12 that intersect and are connected in the bottom plate flow channel 12, wherein both ends of one bottom plate flow channel 12 are oil inlets 14, and one end of the other bottom plate flow channel 12 is an oil inlet 14, and the other end is an oil outlet 13.

[0047] Specifically, the valve block flow channel structure 6 includes a straight channel 6a and a curved channel 6b. The two valve block side surfaces 2a arranged opposite to each other in the valve block 2 are connected through the straight channel 6a, and the two valve block side surfaces 2a arranged adjacent to each other in the valve block 2 are connected through the curved channel 6b.

[0048] In some embodiments, to account for the potential need for multiple tube connections between test pieces, the valve block 2 is configured as a hexahedron structure. The hexahedron corresponds to four test piece installation areas. Depending on specific needs, the hexahedron can be modified to have different numbers of sides to accommodate the number of test piece installation areas. The valve block flow channel structure 6 is vertically arranged in multiple layers within the hexahedron structure, including a first set of straight flow channels 61a parallel to the base plate 5 and connected to two opposing first side surfaces of the hexahedron structure; a second set of straight flow channels 61b parallel to the base plate 5 and connected to two opposing second side surfaces of the hexahedron structure; and a set of curved flow channels 61c parallel to the base plate 5 and connected to adjacent first and second side surfaces of the hexahedron structure. Specifically, the hexahedron structure is sequentially arranged from top to bottom (from bottom to top): a first set of straight flow channels 61a, a second set of straight flow channels 61b, and four sets of curved flow channels 61c, forming a three-layer structure on each side of the hexahedron structure, resulting in a compact overall structure. The vertical layer spacing of the hexahedral structure can be minimized within the technically permitted range, maximizing the space-saving advantage of the flow channel over the external pipeline, and setting the flow channel does not require consideration of mutual interference during vibration and fluid-solid coupling vibration problems.

[0049] Specifically, the block 1 has a fan-shaped structure, with two block side surfaces 1a of the multiple blocks 1 arranged circumferentially around the valve block 2. The block flow channel structure 3 includes at least one block flow channel 1b connecting the two block side surfaces 1a of the block 1. The block flow channel 1b has a straight or curved structure. In this embodiment, three vertical channels are provided to connect the liquid inlet and outlet on the back of the test piece or to connect test pieces.

[0050] A certain gap is left between the stopper 1 and the valve block 2 . Four stoppers 1 are provided and evenly distributed circumferentially along the valve block 2 , so as to form a test piece installation area between the bottom plate 5 , the stopper 1 and the valve block 2 .

[0051] During actual installation, install each test piece in the installation area between each block 1; if the installation edge of the test piece is not on the bottom surface but in other relatively exposed positions, it can be processed in the transfer stage on the side surface 1a of the block (since the entire system has a stronger integrity, its vibration effect is bound to be better than directly designing a separate fixture).

[0052] Specifically, a positioning tenon 10 is provided on the bottom plate 5 , and a first positioning groove 7 a adapted to the positioning tenon 10 is provided on the valve block 2 .

[0053] Specifically, a second positioning groove 7 b is provided on the bottom plate 5 , and the stopper 1 is embedded in the second positioning groove 7 b.

[0054] Specifically, the valve block 2 is provided with a first vertical through hole 9, and the stopper 1 is provided with a second vertical through hole 11. The valve block 2 is detachably connected to the base plate 5 through the first vertical through hole 9 and the mounting member (which may be a long bolt and a nut), and the stopper 1 is detachably connected to the base plate 5 through the second vertical through hole 11 and the mounting member, so that both the valve block 2 and the stopper 1 are detachable, and the valve block 2 and the stopper 1 with flow channels of different cross-sectional diameters and different flow designs can be replaced, as well as the base plates 5 of different sizes can be replaced to adapt to the test pieces with different requirements.

[0055] The inlets and outlets at the ends of the bottom plate flow channel 12, the straight flow channel 6a, the curved flow channel 6b, and the block flow channel 1b are all threaded for connecting to pipelines.

[0056] The base plate 5 is provided with mounting holes 8 for the test pieces. During actual installation, each test piece is installed in the mounting area between each block 1. Since the entire system is more integrated, its vibration effect is bound to be better than directly designing a separate fixture.

[0057] Each valve block side 2a in each valve block 2 has a flow channel that can connect to the other valve block side 2a via short pipes and precisely sized short pipes. The flow channel replaces virtually all piping functions, greatly reducing space and the difficulty of piping design. If piping is required between the backs of the test pieces, the connection can be completed through the valve block flow channel structure 6 and short pipes.

[0058] If the test piece needs oil return, the oil outlet on the back of the test piece can be directly connected to the oil inlet 14 of the base plate 5, and the oil outlet 13 of the base plate 5 is connected to the oil station or the oil return pipeline. The test piece can also be directly connected to the oil return station and the oil return pipeline.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
