Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical components and material testing, in particular to a metal rubber vibration damper thermal mechanical fatigue testing machine and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] "Thermomechanical fatigue" refers to the fatigue failure phenomenon caused by mechanical components or materials subjected to mechanical loads and thermal cycling or temperature fluctuations over long periods of time in a high-temperature environment. This fatigue can lead to a significant decrease in component or material performance, the formation or expansion of cracks in the material, and ultimately shorten the component or material's service life. Some critical components operating in alternating high and low temperature environments for a long time may experience thermomechanical fatigue failure, resulting in equipment malfunction, causing economic losses or even more serious consequences. Therefore, studying the thermomechanical fatigue properties of mechanical components and materials is crucial.

[0003] Invention application number CN202110333243.7 proposes a cooling and heating method using water cooling and laser heating, using the rotation of a disk to rotate the specimen for thermal fatigue testing. However, there are issues such as the high cost of the test equipment.

[0004] Patent application number CN202222213691.6 proposes a thermal mechanical fatigue testing machine, addressing existing issues where the test piece cannot fully enter the medium tank for cooling, severely impacting the tester's performance and making it prone to specimen drop. However, the machine suffers from a drawback: loading is performed through bolts and nuts, making it impossible to measure force.

[0005] The patent with application number CN202120401735.0 uses a pneumatic solenoid valve to control the telescopic movement of the telescopic part, so that the sample is extended to the center of the induction heating coil for heating, and then extended into the cooling tank for cooling. This method has a fast heating and cooling speed, but there are problems such as uneven temperature zones on the sample.

[0006] A metal-rubber shock absorber is a device used to reduce mechanical vibration and noise. It typically consists of a metal housing wrapped with a metal-rubber material made of wire. This type of shock absorber is widely used in industrial machinery, automobiles, building structures, aerospace, and other fields.

[0007] The development of metal-rubber vibration dampers is closely tied to the progress of industrialization. With the development and increasing use of mechanical equipment, vibration and noise issues have become increasingly prominent. Vibration not only reduces the efficiency and lifespan of mechanical equipment but can also impact the surrounding environment and the health of workers. Therefore, the development of vibration reduction technology has become a crucial topic in the engineering field.

[0008] The history of metal-rubber shock absorbers can be traced back to the early 20th century. Initially, simple spring shock absorbers were used. However, with the development of industry and the increasing demand for vibration control, traditional spring shock absorbers could no longer meet the needs. Thus, metal-rubber shock absorbers came into being.

[0009] Metal-rubber vibration dampers utilize the combined elasticity of rubber and the rigidity of metal to effectively absorb and damp vibration energy, while simultaneously reducing the vibration and noise transmitted to the structure and surrounding environment. The use of these dampers not only improves the performance and reliability of mechanical equipment, but also improves the working environment and reduces noise pollution. To adapt metal-rubber vibration dampers to more extreme and harsh environments, research on their thermomechanical fatigue properties is crucial. Therefore, this invention holds significant practical research significance. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0052] The present invention relates to a metal rubber vibration damper thermal mechanical fatigue experimental device, referring to Figure 1-8 The metal rubber vibration damper thermal mechanical fatigue testing machine is characterized by including a resistance furnace motion control system 1, a resistance furnace heating and cooling system 2, a support and measurement system 3, a control system 4, a testing machine frame 5 and a testing machine circulating water cooling system 6.

[0053] like Figure 1The resistance furnace motion control system 1 includes a stepper motor 101, a coupling 102, a side panel 103, an optical axis positioning seat 104, a locking bolt 105, a screw bearing seat 106, a ball screw 107, a heating furnace and nut seat connector 108, a screw nut and nut seat 109, a guide optical axis support seat 110, and a guide optical axis 111; the control system controls the forward and reverse rotation of the stepper motor 101, so that the resistance furnace 201 moves up and down to achieve thermal cycling. The heating system includes a resistance furnace 201, a furnace temperature sensor 202, and a temperature control box 204; the temperature conditions of the test are adjusted by setting the temperature control box 204. The cooling system consists of a cooling fan 203 and a cooling fan support 205. When cooling is required, the control system can control the cooling fan 203 to rotate so that the metal rubber vibration damper sample 305 can be cooled quickly;

[0054] The support and measurement system includes an upper water jacket 301, a water jacket core shaft 302, an upper specimen seat support 303, an upper specimen seat 304, a metal rubber vibration damper specimen 305, a lower specimen seat 306, a lower specimen seat support 307, an upper guide shaft 308, a pressure nut 309, a universal ball 310, a force sensor 311, a guide sleeve 312, a lower guide shaft 313, an electric cylinder 314, a counting box 315, an electromagnetic induction counter 316, a magnet 317, a high-temperature extensometer 318, an in-shaft temperature sensor 319, a high-temperature extensometer data display 320, and a lower water jacket 321.

[0055] The in-axis temperature sensor 319 is used to monitor the sample temperature in real time and provide feedback to the control system 4. The force sensor 311 is used to monitor the load size to adjust the electric cylinder 314. The displacement sensor 318 is used to monitor the deformation of the sample.

[0056] The control system includes a power switch, touch screen, industrial computer 4, and a PLC fatigue test application program. All components, including the upper specimen holder support 303, water jacket core shaft 302, lower specimen holder support 307, and electric cylinder 314, are assembled and fixed to the testing machine frame 5 and can be adjusted according to the position. The circulating water cooling system 6 includes a water pump 604, a water pump motor 603, and a water tank 602. These components are all fixed to the circulating water system base 601.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the metal rubber shock absorber 305 is installed on the testing machine through the upper sample seat 304 and the lower sample seat 306. The electric cylinder 314 transmits the load to the sample 305 through the lower guide shaft 313, the lower sample seat support 307 and the pressure nut 309.

[0058] like Figure 5As shown, an in-axis temperature sensor 319 is installed inside the lower specimen holder 306 and connected to the control system via a wire to monitor the specimen temperature in real time. A high-temperature extensometer 318 is installed on the side of the metal-rubber vibration damper and connected to a metal-rubber data display 320 via a wire. The metal-rubber data display 320 is connected to the control system to monitor the specimen's displacement in real time.

[0059] like Figure 7 As described above, the stepper motor 101, cooling fan 203, temperature control box 204, electric cylinder 314, counting box 315, high temperature extensometer 318, and in-axis temperature sensor 319 are all connected to the control system 4 through wires and are controlled by it. By setting parameters on the industrial computer 4, the heating temperature, holding time, cooling temperature, cooling time, and number of operations of the test specimen can be specified.

[0060] The temperature sensor 319 is installed inside the upper specimen holder 306 and is connected to and controlled by the control system. The high-temperature extensometer 318 in the measurement system is in contact with the metal rubber vibration damper. The high-temperature extensometer 318 is connected to the high-temperature extensometer data display 320. The high-temperature extensometer data display 320 can record data and transmit the data to the control system. The force sensor 311 in the measurement system is also connected to the control system. The electromagnetic induction counter 316 in the measurement system can sense the distance between the magnet installed on the resistance furnace. When the resistance furnace rises to 0-30mm from the counter and stops, and then the resistance furnace drops 20mm, the screen of the counting box 315 will record one thermal cycle cycle. When the specified number of thermal cycle tests is reached, the control system detects the signal and immediately stops the test.

[0061] like Figure 8 As described above, a circulating water cooling device is used for water cooling. The 301 upper water jacket and the 321 lower water jacket are connected to the water pump and the external water tank through the water inlet and outlet pipes. The water pump keeps the cooling water flowing quickly between the external water tank and the 301 upper water jacket and the 321 lower water jacket, ensuring that the high temperature in the furnace is transferred to the load sensor and the electric cylinder as little as possible, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the experimental system.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] The metal rubber vibration damper is fixed vertically in the testing machine through the upper and lower specimen holders. The thermal cycle low temperature value is set to 20℃ and the high temperature value is set to 450℃. Then the thermal cycle is started. During the heating stage, the metal rubber vibration damper is heated at a uniform rate. When the temperature of the metal rubber vibration damper reaches 450℃, the heat preservation begins. During the heat preservation stage, the temperature of the metal rubber vibration damper is controlled at 450℃. When the heat preservation ends, the heating is stopped and the metal rubber vibration damper is rapidly cooled by the air blown by the cooling fan. When the temperature of the metal rubber vibration damper reaches 20℃, the cooling stops. At this point, one thermal cycle ends; at the same time, the next thermal cycle begins.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] The metal-rubber shock absorber was vertically secured within the testing machine via the upper and lower specimen holders. The low temperature value for the thermomechanical fatigue cycle was set to 20°C and the high temperature value to 450°C. The axial load was set by adjusting the electric cylinder. The circulating water cooling system was activated, and the thermomechanical fatigue test was then conducted. A high-temperature extensometer monitored the deformation of the metal-rubber shock absorber in real time. All data was recorded on the high-temperature extensometer's data display and imported into the control system for storage. The electromagnetic induction counter transmitted a signal to the control system after reaching the specified number of cycles. This concluded the thermomechanical fatigue test.

[0066] In summary, this invention addresses the problem of high dispersion in thermomechanical fatigue test results, making it difficult to ensure the reliability of test data. It has broad application prospects and economic benefits. It also provides a test method for evaluating the service reliability of metal-rubber shock absorbers. The test results are of great reference value for promoting the engineering application of metal-rubber shock absorbers.
