Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of static testing, and in particular to an axial compression centering device for pipe parts, in particular to a pipe part compression centering device designed for compression testing of pipe parts. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industry, pipe parts are increasingly used in various fields. From petrochemicals, aerospace to construction engineering, pipe parts (i.e. pipe fittings) have important tasks. However, in actual use, pipe parts are often subjected to various external forces, and compression force is a common force.

[0003] In order to ensure that pipe parts can work normally under compression load and ensure the safety and reliability of the project, it is particularly important to carry out compression tests on pipe parts.

[0004] At present, there are many types of pipe parts on the market, with different materials and great differences in their performance. In addition, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, the performance requirements for pipe parts are also constantly increasing. New materials and manufacturing processes are constantly emerging, and compression tests are needed to verify their feasibility and reliability. At the same time, compression tests can also provide data support for the design and optimization of pipe parts, and promote technological innovation and development in the pipe parts industry.

[0005] When performing compression tests on pipe parts, it is required to adopt the compression centering method of the pipe parts.

[0006] It should be noted that centering means that the central axis of the chuck of the testing machine (such as a compressor) is required to be in the same straight line as the central axis of the pipe part, which prevents the test piece (such as a pipe part) from being subjected to uneven force when compressed. The compression centering method is used for pipe parts to ensure that the test piece (such as a pipe part) is subjected to uniform force, avoid excessive or insufficient local stress, and make the stress in all parts of the cross section roughly equal. If the test piece is not centered during the test, it may cause uneven stress, which in turn causes unstable failure, affecting the accuracy of the test data and the observation of the cross-sectional shape.

[0007] However, the traditional compression centering method for pipe parts is to adjust by manual observation combined with calipers and micrometers, which has obvious disadvantages, as follows:

[0008] First, the accuracy of manual observation and adjustment is limited, and it is difficult to ensure completely accurate centering.

[0009] Second, the centering process is rather complicated and time-consuming, which affects the test efficiency.

[0010] Third, the experience and skill levels of different operators will also affect the results of the centering.

[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that can solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an axial compression centering device for pipe parts in view of the technical defects in the prior art.

[0013] To this end, the present invention provides an axial compression centering device for pipe parts, which includes an upper compression platform and a lower compression platform, as well as a guide mechanism and a positioning mechanism;

[0014] Wherein, the guide mechanism comprises a guide block, an outer ring, a guide post and a spring;

[0015] A positioning mechanism, comprising a positioning ring and a connecting rod;

[0016] Among them, the upper compression platform is located directly above the lower compression platform;

[0017] The top center position of the upper compression platform is connected to the upper clamp of the testing machine of the external testing machine;

[0018] The bottom center position of the lower compression platform is connected to the lower clamp of the testing machine of the external testing machine;

[0019] Among them, a plurality of guide blocks are placed on the top of the lower compression platform;

[0020] A plurality of guide blocks are disposed circumferentially on the inner side of an outer ring;

[0021] An accommodating cavity for placing the lower end of the test piece is formed between the inner side surfaces of the plurality of guide blocks;

[0022] The outer side surface of each guide block is provided with a radially distributed guide post;

[0023] Each guide pin sleeve has a helical spring;

[0024] The outer end of the guide post passes through the guide post through hole reserved on the outer ring;

[0025] The outer end of the spring is in tight contact with the inner wall of the outer ring;

[0026] Wherein, the two circumferential sides of the bottom of the outer ring are respectively connected to the circumferential outer wall of a positioning ring through a connecting rod;

[0027] The positioning ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower clamp of the testing machine.

[0028] It can be seen from the technical solution provided by the present invention that, compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an axial compression centering device for pipe parts, which is scientifically designed. The present invention is applied in the process of compression testing pipe parts (i.e., pipe fittings). The present invention can conveniently and reliably perform centering (i.e., centering) operations on pipe parts, prevent the pipe fittings from being offset and flipped, and ensure the centering accuracy of the pipe fittings, which is beneficial to improving the overall efficiency of the compression test and reducing the test error, and has great practical significance.

[0029] In addition, the device of the present invention is an axial compression centering device for pipe parts based on a universal testing machine. It adopts a wedge block (i.e., a guide block) in combination with a spring and a guide column. When a force load is applied, the pipe is guided by the wedge block (i.e., a guide block). At the same time, the wedge block is used to always press the pipe through the spring, thereby preventing the pipe from shifting and flipping, effectively ensuring the centering accuracy of the pipe, improving the work efficiency of the test, and reducing the test error.

[0030] In addition, the centering method adopted by the present invention is a more accurate method for centering the axis of the pipe compression test, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the pipe compression test data and preventing the situation where the test accuracy is affected by large manual centering errors.

[0031] The present invention is designed for compression tests of pipe parts. It is difficult to accurately coincide the central axis of the pipe parts with the central axis of the testing machine (such as a compressor) during the compression test, so a compression centering device is designed for such parts. The central axis of the device of the present invention coincides with the central axis of the testing machine (such as a compressor), and under the action of pressure, the central axis of the pipe parts and the device are coincident through the guidance of the wedge block (i.e., the guide block), solving the problem of difficult centering of the pipe parts during compression tests. After testing, the scheme of the present invention can be reliably applied to pipe parts with a diameter of 3-80 mm. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0061] It should be noted that, in the present invention, the positioning ring 6 and the connecting rod 9 together form a positioning mechanism; the guide block 11, the outer ring 10, the guide column 4 and the spring 3 together form a guiding mechanism.

[0077] In the present invention, a plurality of guide blocks 11 surround and form an integral guide structure;

[0079] In the present invention, four guide blocks 11 are placed around the top of the lower compression platform 8;

[0080] In specific implementation, the top and bottom surfaces of the guide block 11 are smooth planes;

[0091] It should be noted that the guide column 4 and the spring 3 can limit the movement direction of the guide block 11 to improve the centering accuracy.

[0092] It should be noted that, in the present invention, four identical guide blocks 11 can be placed on the top of the lower compression platform 8. The gaps inside the four guide blocks 11 are used to vertically penetrate the test piece 12 (i.e., the pipe fitting) that needs to be subjected to the compression test. The horizontal movement direction of the test piece 12 is guided by the guide blocks 11.

[0093] It should be noted that, in the present invention, a limiting device (i.e., spring 3) is provided on the guide column 4, and the limiting device is used to keep the center of the guide block 11 coincident with the central axis of the testing machine;

[0095] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, a vertically distributed upper platform center connecting column 201 is provided at the top center position of the upper compression platform 2;

[0096] The original (ie, inherent) upper clamping block 13 at the lower end of the upper clamping head 1 of the testing machine is connected (ie, clamped and connected) to the central connecting column 201 of the upper platform.

[0097] It should be noted that, for the external testing machine, the original (i.e., inherent) upper clamping block 13 at the lower end of the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine specifically includes two upper clamping blocks 13 spaced apart, and the two upper clamping blocks 13 are located in an upper clamping block accommodating notch groove (the groove is open at the bottom and penetrates front to back, and has a cross-sectional shape of an inverted isosceles trapezoid) on the inner side of the lower end of the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine; the two upper clamping blocks 13 on the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine can move relative to each other to clamp or release an object placed in the gap between the two (e.g., the center connecting column 201 of the upper platform).

[0098] In the present invention, a vertically distributed lower platform center connecting column 801 is provided at the bottom center position of the upper and lower compression platforms 8;

[0099] The original (i.e., inherent) lower clamping block 5 at the upper end of the lower clamping head 7 of the testing machine is connected (i.e., clamped and connected) to the central connecting column 801 of the lower platform.

[0100] It should be noted that, for the external testing machine, the original (i.e., inherent) lower clamping block 5 at the upper end of the lower clamping head 7 of the testing machine specifically includes two spaced-apart lower clamping blocks 5, and the two lower clamping blocks 5 are located in a lower clamping block accommodating notch groove (the groove is open at the bottom and penetrates front to back, and the cross-sectional shape is an inverted isosceles trapezoid) provided on the inner side of the upper end of the lower clamping head 7 of the testing machine; the two lower clamping blocks 5 can move relative to each other to clamp or release an object placed in the gap between them (such as the central connecting column 801 of the lower platform).

[0101] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the material of the guide column 4 is 45 steel, and the guide column 4 is connected to the guide block 11 through an external thread; the guide column 4 passes through the guide column through hole reserved in the outer ring 10 to perform a guiding function and can be used to limit the movement trajectory of the guide block 11.

[0102] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the inner diameter of the spring 3 is 10 mm, and the inner diameter material of the spring 3 is 304 stainless steel;

[0103] In a specific implementation, the two ends of the spring 3 are respectively connected to the guide block 11 and the outer ring 10 for applying pressure so that the guide block 11 can always press the test piece 12 (ie, the pipe fitting) during the compression process.

[0104] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the outer ring 10 is a ring with an inner diameter of 220 mm and an outer diameter of 240 mm;

[0105] The outer ring 10 is connected to the positioning ring 6 via a connecting rod 9 to ensure that the center axis of the guide block 11 coincides with the center axis of the testing machine.

[0106] In the present invention, in specific implementation, the testing machine is a compressor with mature existing technology and has been widely used, such as a universal compressor. Specifically, a universal testing machine with model DDL-200 produced by China Machinery Testing Equipment Co., Ltd. can be used to apply compression load to pipe fittings (i.e. pipe parts).

[0107] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the central axis of the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine, the central axis of the upper compression platform 2, the central axis of the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine and the central axis of the lower compression platform 8, as well as the central axis of the upper clamp 13 and the central axis of the lower clamp 5 all coincide and are located on the same straight line.

[0108] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the material of the positioning ring 6 is 45 steel and is composed of two semicircular rings;

[0109] The positioning ring 6 is connected to the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine by bolts, and is connected to the outer ring 10 by a connecting rod 9, and is used to ensure that the axis of the outer ring 10 coincides with the central axis of the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine, the central axis of the upper compression platform 2, the central axis of the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine and the central axis of the lower compression platform 8, and to ensure that the axis of the outer ring 10 coincides with the central axis of the test piece 12 connected to the testing machine through the upper clamp 13 and the lower clamp 5.

[0110] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the connecting rod 9 is made of 45 steel, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the outer ring 10 and the positioning ring 6 by welding to ensure that the central axis of the outer ring 10 coincides with the central axis of the positioning ring 6.

[0111] In the present invention, in a specific implementation, the top surface of the test piece 12 is in direct contact with the bottom surface of the upper compression platform 2 .

[0112] It should be noted that, for the present invention, since the bottom surface of the upper compression platform 2 is used to press against the top surface of the test piece 12, it can be suitable for applying compression loads to test pieces 2 (i.e., pipe parts) of multiple specifications and sizes.

[0113] In addition, for the present invention, considering that there will be errors when the upper compression platform 2 is connected and clamped with the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine through the clamp block (i.e. the upper clamp block), it is impossible to ensure that the upper compression platform 2 and the axis of the testing machine (i.e. the central axis of the upper chuck 1 of the testing machine) are completely coincident. For this reason, the present invention fixes the positioning ring 6 on the fixed shaft at the lower end of the testing machine (i.e. the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine), and the central axis of the positioning ring 6 directly coincides with the central axis of the testing machine to achieve precise positioning.

[0114] In order to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention, the working principle of the present invention is explained below.

[0115] According to the present invention, the test piece is guided by the spring, guide column, outer ring and guide block included in the guide mechanism to complete the centering.

[0116] In addition, the connecting rod and the positioning ring included in the positioning mechanism ensure that the central axis of the guide mechanism coincides with the central axis of the testing machine, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the centering.

[0117] The specific working process of the present invention is:

[0118] First, when the test is implemented, the axial compression centering device provided by the present invention is connected to the existing testing machine, and the reliability of the connection is checked, and whether the movement of the guide column 4 is smooth;

[0119] Then, the lower end of the test piece 12 is placed on the inclined surface inside the guide block 11, and the testing machine is turned on. The upper chuck 1 of the testing machine drives the upper compression platform 2 downward. The downward pressure applied causes the test piece 12 to move downward, and the guide block 11 approaches the outer ring 10 along the direction of the guide column 4. In this process, the presence of the spring 3 enables the guide block 11 to always press the test piece 12 to prevent it from turning over, until the test piece 12 falls to the top surface of the lower compression platform 8, completing the centering operation (that is, the central axis of the test piece coincides with the central axis of the testing machine).

[0120] Compared with the prior art, the axial compression centering device for pipe parts provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0121] By means of the axial compression centering device for pipe parts provided by the present invention, when the pipe is subjected to a compression test, the central axis of the pipe as the test piece 12 is limited to coincide with the central axis of the outer ring 10 by the guide block 11, and the outer ring 10 ensures that its own central axis coincides with the central axis of the positioning ring 6 by the connecting rod 9; the positioning ring 6 is installed on the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine to ensure that its own central axis coincides with the central axis of the lower chuck 7 of the testing machine, thereby effectively ensuring the centering accuracy of the pipe during the compression operation, improving the work efficiency of the pipe parts in performing the existing conventional compression repeatability test, reducing the test error, and improving the credibility of the test results.

[0122] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
