[0066] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0067] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0068] Austenitic stainless steel (such as S30408) is widely used in the manufacture of cryogenic containers because of its good plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance at low temperatures. When designing existing cryogenic containers, calculations are still based on the mechanical properties of the material at room temperature, without considering the impact of ambient temperature on material properties. For S30408, the material strength is significantly improved at low temperatures (such as -196°C), and if this effect is not considered during design, it will cause a huge waste of materials. Therefore, it is of great engineering significance to carry out extensive cryogenic mechanical property tests and fully accumulate material mechanical property data under cryogenic conditions in order to fully utilize materials, improve the design and manufacturing level of cryogenic containers and product competitiveness, and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions during manufacturing and use.

[0069] Austenitic stainless steel is a common material for manufacturing cryogenic containers, and the thickness of the plate used is generally 4~24mm. Therefore, when conducting mechanical property tests on cryogenic materials, round bar specimen 900 is often selected for cryogenic tensile and cryogenic fatigue tests due to its advantages such as convenient material processing, high test stability, and small data deviation. In order to obtain the performance parameters before and after the test, it is often necessary to mark the surface of the specimen. Due to the high processing accuracy requirements of the round bar specimen 900 and the extremely low temperature test environment (often below -150℃), very demanding requirements are placed on the division accuracy, integrity, repeatability, etc. of the specimen marking. However, the currently commonly used tensile specimen marking devices and methods have many limitations in their applicability to the round bar specimen 900 for cryogenic testing.

[0070] The first method uses the method of damaging the sample surface for marking. This method uses a knife to mark lines or an elastic punch to mark points to divide the gauge length. Although the marking scratches are clear, they often damage the sample surface and destroy the integrity of the sample. For example, the surface roughness requirement of the parallel section of the round bar tensile specimen is generally Ra0.8 or Ra1.6, while the surface roughness processing requirement of the parallel section of the round bar fatigue specimen is even higher than Ra0.2. Once the marking scratches damage the sample surface, it is very easy to cause the sample to break at the marking, which seriously affects the accuracy of the test results, and also wastes test materials and time.

[0071] Another method is to directly use ink or other ink to divide the gauge length. Although it does not damage the surface, the marking line is relatively thick, the edge is blurred, and the marking accuracy is not high. Secondly, after the test material is deformed in a deep cold environment, the surface ink or ink is easy to fall off, making the marking difficult to identify, which is not very practical. Especially when the sample is immersed in a low-temperature medium such as liquid nitrogen during a low-temperature test, the marking is easily affected by the fluctuation of the liquid level and becomes blurred, making it difficult to identify.

[0072] On the other hand, with regard to the determination of the gauge interval, existing disclosed devices and methods often use mold spacing or the number of rotations of a crank (which drives the lead screw to move) to determine the distance between marks. This method is prone to uneven marking intervals due to the single gauge size or gaps in the mechanical structure, thereby affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of the test results.

[0073] In summary, there are still many limitations in the current marking and dividing device and method for austenitic stainless steel round bar specimens used for cryogenic mechanical properties testing.

[0074] The present invention proposes a round bar sample marking and division method, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the round rod sample marking and dividing method of this embodiment is applied to a round rod sample marking and dividing device having an automatic clamping system 100, a marking positioning system 200, a surface quality detection system 300, a high-definition inkjet system 400 and an adjustable laser etching system 500.

[0075] The automatic clamping system 100 is used to position and clamp the round rod sample 900, the marking and positioning system 200 is used to determine the gauge position and size of the round rod sample 900, the surface quality detection system 300 is used to detect the surface roughness of the round rod sample 900, the high-definition inkjet system 400 is used to print ink on the surface of the round rod sample 900, and the adjustable laser etching system 500 is used to mark and etch the surface of the round rod sample 900.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the round bar specimen marking and division method includes:

[0077] Step S100: positioning and clamping the round bar sample 900;

[0078] Step S200: marking and positioning the round bar sample 900 to obtain a gauge length segment on the round bar sample 900;

[0079] Step S300: Detecting the surface roughness of the gauge section to obtain a roughness value Rz;

[0080] Step S400: performing ink spraying at at least one preset marking point on the surface of the gauge section to obtain an ink marking line with a preset ink line width and a preset ink spraying thickness;

[0081] Step S500: performing marking etching along the ink marking line to obtain an etching marking line with a preset etching line width and a preset etching depth, wherein the preset etching line width is less than half of the preset ink line width, and the preset etching depth is less than or equal to the sum of the preset ink spraying thickness and Rz / 2.

[0082] Before ink spraying, the present invention first detects the surface roughness of the gauge section of the round rod sample 900, which lays a foundation for high-precision and non-destructive marking line division. The operation sequence of first spraying ink to protect the surface of the round rod sample 900 and then laser etching the marking line is adopted, and the preset etching line width is limited to be less than half of the preset ink line width, and the preset etching depth is less than or equal to the sum of the preset ink spraying thickness and the roughness value Rz / 2. This greatly protects the sample surface, achieves almost non-destructive marking, and greatly improves the stability and reliability of the test data. The ink spraying and laser etching used in the division and marking process are both non-contact processing, and do not introduce prestress (bending moment) and deformation, which greatly ensures the accuracy of the test data obtained from the round rod sample 900.

[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the automatic clamping system 100 of this embodiment is provided with an automatic self-centering chuck 110 and a pre-tightening head 120 which are arranged relatively to each other along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900. The automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the pre-tightening head 120 can move axially and rotate circumferentially along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900.

[0084] Step S100 of this embodiment includes:

[0085] One end of the round bar sample 900 is clamped by the automatic self-centering chuck 110 , and the other end is fixed by coaxially applying a preset axial preload force to the round bar sample 900 through the preload head 120 .

[0086] After installation, the automatic self-centering chuck 110 is rotated to drive the round bar sample 900 to rotate. At the same time, the preload force of the automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the axial preload force of the preload head 120 are checked and adjusted to ensure that the round bar sample 900 is not deformed or loosened during the rotation process.

[0087] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the marking and positioning system 200 of this embodiment is provided with two coaxial measuring heads 210 spaced apart along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900 , and the two coaxial measuring heads 210 can move axially and rotate circumferentially along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900 .

[0088] Step S200 of this embodiment includes:

[0089] Step S210: adjusting the positions of the two coaxial measuring heads 210 to be close to the gauge length section;

[0090] Step S220 : axially moving the two coaxial measuring heads 210 according to the preset gauge length, so that the positions of the two coaxial measuring heads 210 completely correspond to the estimated gauge length positions of the round bar sample 900 , and fixing the positions of the two coaxial measuring heads 210 .

[0091] During operation, the coaxial measuring heads 210 are moved axially and rotated circumferentially to the vicinity of the gauge section of the round rod sample 900, and the two coaxial measuring heads 210 are moved so that the distance between the two coaxial measuring heads 210 is the preset gauge length. The two coaxial measuring heads 210 are slightly moved axially and rotated circumferentially so that the positions of the two measuring heads completely correspond to the expected gauge length positions of the round rod sample 900, and then the two coaxial measuring heads 210 are fixed. At this time, the distance between the two coaxial measuring heads 210 is the gauge length Lc of the round rod sample 900.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, the surface quality detection system 300 of this embodiment is provided with a roughness measuring head 310 for measuring the surface concave-convex height of a round bar sample 900;

[0093] Step S300 of this embodiment includes:

[0094] Step S310: bringing the roughness measuring head 310 into contact with the surface of the gauge section;

[0095] Step S320: Control the roughness measuring head 310 to move from one end of the gauge section to the other end along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900, record the maximum and minimum values ​​of the measurement data, and calculate the difference Rz1 between the maximum and minimum values;

[0096] Step S330: Control the roughness measuring head 310 to contact different circumferential positions of the surface of the gauge segment, and sequentially measure and calculate Rz2, Rz3, ..., Rz n ;

[0097] Step S340: Rz1, Rz2, Rz3, ... Rz n The average calculation was performed to obtain Rz.

[0098] In step S320 and step S330, the roughness measuring head 310 is controlled to contact the surface of the gauge section and correspond to the positioning position of any coaxial measuring head 210, and the roughness measuring head 310 is adjusted to move axially along the round rod sample 900 to the positioning position of another coaxial measuring head 210, and the maximum and minimum values ​​of the surface unevenness height of the round rod sample 900 in this process are recorded, and the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is calculated.

[0099] In step S330, the automatic self-centering chuck 110 is adjusted to drive the round bar sample 900 to rotate in situ at an appropriate angle, so that the roughness measurement head 310 contacts different circumferential positions of the gauge section surface, and the surface detection operation of the round bar sample 900 is repeated.

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, the high-definition inkjet system 400 of this embodiment is provided with a high-precision nozzle 410, through which ink is sprayed.

[0101] Step S400 of this embodiment includes:

[0102] Step S410: controlling the round rod sample 900 to rotate around its own axis;

[0103] Step S420: The round rod sample 900 is subjected to full circumferential ink spraying at preset marking points by means of the high-precision nozzle 410 to obtain a full circumferential ink marking line.

[0104] In step S410 , the round bar sample 900 is driven to rotate in situ by the automatic self-centering chuck 110 .

[0105] Step S420 of this embodiment includes:

[0106] Step S421: adjusting the spraying rotation speed of the round rod sample 900 or the flow rate and velocity of the ink supply according to the preset ink spraying thickness;

[0107] Step S422: adjusting the nozzle size of the high-precision nozzle 410 according to the preset ink line width.

[0108] In this embodiment, the width of the ink line sprayed by the high-precision nozzle 410 is set, and the height of the sprayed ink line is adjusted by adjusting the speed of the automatic self-centering chuck 110 to drive the round rod sample 900 to rotate in situ, until the round rod sample 900 is sprayed with ink in an all-round manner at the spraying position. Subsequently, the high-precision nozzle 410 can be adjusted to move axially along the round rod sample 900 to achieve the spraying of the all-round ink marking line at the marking points within the entire gauge section length Lc of the round rod sample 900. The specific positions and number of the ink marking lines can be determined by the actual test requirements.

[0109] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustable laser etching system 500 of this embodiment is provided with a laser head 510;

[0110] Step S500 of this embodiment includes:

[0111] Step S510: controlling the round rod sample 900 to rotate around its own axis;

[0112] Step S520: Use the laser head 510 to perform full circumferential marking etching on the ink marking line.

[0113] This embodiment adjusts the width of the etched marking line so that the width of the etched marking line is less than half the width of the ink marking line. At the same time, the depth of the etched marking line is adjusted by driving the round rod sample 900 to rotate in situ at a speed automatically driven by the self-centering chuck 110. The maximum etching depth does not exceed the sum of the ink spraying thickness and Rz / 2, so as to achieve marking line division with almost no loss of the surface processing quality of the round rod sample 900. At the same time, through the contrast effect of the ink in the unetched part, the final division mark has the advantages of clear display, high precision, strong repeatability, stable line width and good consistency.

[0114] Subsequently, the laser head 510 is adjusted to move along the axial direction of the round rod sample 900, so that the working position of the laser head 510 moves on the surface of the round rod sample 900, and the movement and marking etching operations are repeated until the marking and etching of all ink marking line positions on the surface of the round rod sample 900 are completed, and all etching mark positions are checked to confirm that the dividing marks are clear and complete in the entire circumferential direction.

[0115] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the present invention also proposes a round rod sample marking and dividing device, which has mutually orthogonal X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and the round rod sample marking and dividing method and device include: an automatic clamping system 100, a marking positioning system 200, a surface quality detection system 300, a high-definition inkjet system 400, an adjustable laser etching system 500 and a machine base 600.

[0116] Among them, the automatic clamping system 100 is provided with an automatic self-centering chuck 110 and a pre-tightening head 120 which are arranged relatively at intervals along the X-axis direction. The automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the pre-tightening head 120 can move axially and rotate circumferentially along the X-axis direction. The automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the pre-tightening head 120 are respectively installed on the machine base 600 through sliding seats and can be fixed. The automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the pre-tightening head 120 are rotatably arranged relative to the sliding seat. The pre-tightening head 120 adopts a conical head structure. The automatic self-centering chuck 110 can realize the centering clamping of the round rod sample 900, and the distance between the automatic self-centering chuck 110 and the pre-tightening head 120 is adjusted according to the length of the round rod sample 900.
