Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of shape memory alloy material training and performance testing, and particularly relates to a shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform. BACKGROUND

[0002] Shape memory alloy (SMA) has superior shape memory effect, super-elasticity, high strength, large plasticity, good corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility. As a new type of intelligent material, it has been widely used in aerospace, medical devices, automotive engineering, automatic control, instruments and meters, and robots.

[0003] Shape memory alloy can remember the shape of the low-temperature martensite phase. After a significant plastic deformation, it can automatically recover to the original shape when heated to a certain temperature. Super-elasticity refers to the phenomenon that when a shape memory alloy is subjected to stress at a higher temperature, it can recover to its original shape after the stress is released.

[0004] When using SMA shape memory effect as a driver, first, an external load is applied to the SMA to cause deformation, and then the strain recovery force is generated by heating to realize driving. SMA is subjected to external load and generates recovery strain when heated. During the cooling process, the external load induces martensitic transformation and generates pre-strain. This cycle is repeated periodically, and this periodic thermal cycle under external force is called thermal mechanical cycle. However, the memory stability of general SMA is poor. With the increase of the number of thermal mechanical cycles, the memory performance gradually stabilizes, that is, the recovery strain reaches a stable value. Therefore, before using SMA as a driver, the SMA material needs to be trained for tens or even thousands of times of thermal mechanical cycles to improve the memory stability of the SMA material.

[0005] In addition, because different alloy proportions and heat treatment conditions have a great influence on the mechanical properties of shape memory alloy during manufacturing, in order to study the mechanical property decay and high-temperature recovery performance of different shape memory alloy wires, the shape memory alloy wires also need to be subjected to cyclic heating and cooling, and the parameters such as the current, voltage, temperature, tension, and wire length change of the shape memory alloy wire need to be detected. How to test and train the performance parameters is also a key to its application in engineering. Therefore, it is a key technology to use appropriate equipment for quantitative experimental research and training.

[0006] At present, the shape memory alloy wire experimental training platform generally applies a load to the shape memory alloy wire through a weight, controls the on and off of the alloy wire, trains the shape memory effect of the alloy wire, and measures the current, voltage, length change and other data of the alloy wire by using multiple sensors during the training process. In the experiment, with the on and off of the memory alloy wire, the temperature of the memory alloy wire changes and the shape memory effect occurs, so that the length changes, and the resistance of the memory alloy wire also changes with the temperature. These data are correlated, influenced and dynamically changed during the training process, so the synchronization of each data measurement is very important.

[0007] In order to study the thermal-mechanical properties of the shape memory alloy wire, the current, voltage, length change, tension and temperature of the alloy wire need to be monitored. However, the existing shape memory alloy wire experimental training platform measures each parameter independently, which cannot guarantee the synchronization of the measured data, and thus cannot meet the requirements of the comprehensive and synchronous experimental data for the study of the thermal-mechanical properties of the shape memory alloy wire. Without the synchronous measurement of the current, voltage, length change, tension and temperature of the alloy wire, the relationship between the temperature, resistance, stress and strain of the memory alloy wire cannot be grasped, which is not conducive to the study of the characteristics of the shape memory alloy.

[0008] In addition, the existing shape memory alloy wire training and testing platform can generally only train or test one alloy wire at the same time. If multiple alloy wires need to be trained at the same time, multiple training tables are needed, which occupies more resources and is low in efficiency.

[0009] If a testing platform with high synchronization of data measurement and collection and capable of training multiple shape memory alloy wires at the same time can be provided, it will greatly facilitate the production and research of shape memory alloy wires. SUMMARY

[0070] Preferably, corresponding circuits are arranged in the breadboard 402, and the components in the training testing mechanism 1, the SMA wire power supply mechanism 2, and the data acquisition mechanism 3 are electrically connected in a set manner, so that the structure of the shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform can be simplified.

[0071] Further, the training track group 1b includes:

[0072] A guide rail and a plurality of sliders arranged on the guide rail, the sliders can slide along the guide rail and can be fixed at any position on the guide rail;

[0073] One end of the SMA wire 116 is fixed by a slider, and the other end is connected with a pulling rope 118, the pulling rope 118 is provided with a loading weight 119 away from one end of the SMA wire 116, the loading weight 119 can apply load to the SMA wire 116;

[0074] When training, the SMA wire 116 is supplied with current by the SMA wire power supply mechanism 2, and at the same time, the relevant parameters of the training process are synchronously collected by the data collection mechanism 3.

[0075] As some other embodiments of the present application, the training test mechanism 1 can also use a servo motor loading mode instead of a weight loading mode, which can realize more convenient change of the loading load size.

[0076] Specifically, the training track group 1b includes:

[0077] The first guide rail 101 is a track structure extending in the horizontal direction;

[0078] The third slider 106, the first slider 102 and the fourth slider 107 are sequentially arranged on the first guide rail 101, the third slider 106, the first slider 102 and the fourth slider 107 can slide along the first guide rail 101 and can be fixed at any position on the first guide rail 101;

[0083] Further, the SMA wire fixing table 117 is arranged on the third slider 106, and the end of the SMA wire 116 is connected with the SMA wire fixing table 117.

[0084] Further, the first hook table 112 and the second hook table 113 are arranged on the second slider 103, the first hook table 112 and the second hook table 113 are arranged on the second slider 103 in sequence along the length direction of the second guide rail 104 and are fixedly connected with the second slider 103; wherein the first hook table 112 is connected with the end of the SMA wire 116, the second hook table 113 is connected with the pulling rope 118, and the first hook table 112 and the second hook table 113 provide convenience for the connection of the SMA wire 116 and the pulling rope 118 with the second slider 103.

[0085] As some examples of the present application, the recess is arranged on the first hook table 112, the clamping block is arranged on the end of the SMA wire 116, the clamping block is clamped on the recess, and the quick connection of the SMA wire 116 with the second slider 103 is realized.

[0091] The pull rope 118 extends vertically after passing around the pulley 110, so that the shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform can apply a load to the SMA wire 116 using the gravity of the loading weight 119.

[0092] Furthermore, in addition to having the same structure as the training track group 1b described above, the test track group 1a also includes:

[0093] A fifth slider 108 is disposed on the first guide rail 101. The fifth slider 108 is located between the third slider 106 and the first slider 102. A displacement sensor 307 is disposed on the fifth slider 108. A light-blocking plate 114 is disposed at the end where the SMA wire 116 is connected to the traction rope 118. The light-blocking plate 114 can move with the end of the SMA wire 116. The displacement sensor 307 can obtain the length of the SMA wire 116 by detecting the position of the light-blocking plate 114.

[0094] Preferably, an obstacle avoidance structure, such as an L-shaped plate structure, is provided on the fifth slider 108. The obstacle avoidance structure allows the SMA wire 116 to pass through and can also provide an installation platform for the displacement sensor 307.

[0095] Based on existing training and performance testing methods for shape memory alloy wires, it can be determined that during the training and performance testing process, the first slider 102, the third slider 106, the fourth slider 107, and the fifth slider 108 should first slide to the set position and be fixed to the first guide rail 101, while the second slider 103 should always remain in a sliding state. The testing and training process is consistent with existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0096] In addition, the force sensor 308 is disposed on the first slider 102, and the end of the SMA wire 116 is connected to the force sensor 308, so that the force sensor 308 can measure the tension force on the SMA wire 116.

[0097] The working principle of the shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform described in this invention is as follows: Figure 9As shown, a loaded weight 119 is used as a fixed load for the SMA wire 116. The temperature and shape memory effect of the SMA wire 116 are controlled by energizing it. During this process, data is recorded using a current sensor 305, a voltage sensor 306, an infrared thermometer 302, a displacement sensor 307, and a force sensor 308. Data from each sensor is output to a data acquisition card 301, achieving synchronization of data acquisition time. This method of acquiring various data measured during the experiment using the data acquisition card 301 allows for the simultaneous acquisition of multiple types of data on the same time axis, facilitating data analysis and calculation, and also allows for flexible adjustment of the data sampling frequency.

[0098] Furthermore, existing shape memory alloy wire training and testing platforms generally use thermocouples to measure the wire temperature. Thermocouples are a contact-type temperature measurement method, requiring them to be attached to the shape memory alloy wire. When the shape memory alloy wire shifts, the thermocouple's position changes, affecting the accuracy of the temperature measurement. Simultaneously, the adhesion of the thermocouple alters the convective heat transfer conditions of the shape memory alloy wire, affecting the study of its temperature rise characteristics under natural convection heat transfer conditions. Additionally, during shape memory alloy wire experiments and training, the wire needs to be energized to control the temperature; an charged object can affect the accuracy of thermocouple measurements. The temperature measurement method of this invention uses an infrared thermometer. This non-contact temperature measurement method does not affect the normal heat transfer of the alloy wire. Moreover, the infrared thermometer can freely select multiple measurement points and has a high sampling frequency, allowing for a more convenient and accurate reflection of the temperature field of the alloy wire in the study of its thermo-mechanical properties.

[0099] Furthermore, the shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform described in this invention adopts a structure in which each shape memory alloy wire corresponds to one track and multiple tracks are laid in parallel, making it possible to train and test multiple shape memory alloy wires simultaneously.

[0100] Based on this, the test track group 1a and training track group 1b of the present invention have simple structures and small widths, which greatly reduces the volume of a single track and makes the space utilization efficiency of the entire training and performance testing platform high. At the same time, the present invention also optimizes the arrangement of the power supply, various sensors and data acquisition card 301, making it more convenient to adjust the power supply current and voltage, and the entire training and testing platform occupies less area and space.

[0101] In summary, the shape memory alloy wire training and performance testing platform of this invention provides a testing device capable of simultaneously measuring multiple data such as current, voltage, wire length change, tensile force, and temperature. Furthermore, it improves the temperature measurement method, enabling more accurate temperature measurement and better meeting the needs of multi-point temperature measurement in scientific research. The single shape memory alloy wire test track in this invention has a small volume, allowing for the parallel construction of multiple test track groups 1a and training track groups 1b, simultaneously training and testing different SMA wires 116. This approach is highly efficient and easy to operate.
