DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0037] Example

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 What is shown is the overall front view schematic diagram of the testing device in the embodiment;

[0039] The device comprises: a workbench 10, on which a test unit 1 and a control unit 2 are arranged;

[0040] The protective cover 20 is also included. The protective cover 20 is slidably disposed on the top of the workbench 10 , and the protective cover 20 can cover the test unit 1 .

[0041] The test unit 1 and the control unit 2 are modules in the prior art that can clamp the test steel and perform torsion testing, processing, data output, etc. on the steel;

[0042] The protective cover 20 is n-shaped and made of transparent material, allowing the operator to observe the test process in real time without opening it, ensuring the smooth progress of the test, timely discovering and handling abnormal situations, and having a certain impact resistance, such as polycarbonate;

[0043] The protective cover 20 is slidably set on the workbench 10, and can cover the test unit 1 during the test to prevent the workpiece from accidentally cracking and injuring the experimenter during the torsion experiment; and the protective cover 20 can also cover the test unit 1 when the equipment is not in use, which can effectively prevent external pollutants such as dust, moisture, humidity and corrosive gases from affecting the test unit 1, keep the equipment clean, reduce failures and maintenance requirements caused by pollution, and also prevent external mechanical damage and extend its service life.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 What is shown is a side view schematic diagram of the protective cover and the workbench in the embodiment;

[0045] A slide groove 11 extending along the length of the workbench 10 is arranged on the top, and a slide rail is installed in the slide groove 11, and the bottom end of the protective cover 20 is slidably matched with the slide rail.

[0046] The sliding protective cover 20 can be opened and closed quickly, which is convenient for quick operation when installing samples, adjusting parameters or conducting inspections, reducing waiting time. After the test is completed, the sliding protective cover can be opened quickly to facilitate the replacement of samples or cleaning of the test area, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0047] A locking structure may be provided between the protective cover 20 and the workbench 10 so that the position of the protective cover 20 can be fixed.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, Figure 2 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the state and structure of the protective cover in the embodiment; Figure 5 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the second state structure of the protective cover in the embodiment;

[0049] The protective cover 20 includes a main cover body 21 and an extension cover movably arranged on the main cover body 21 . The main cover body 21 is provided with an inner cavity 24 for the extension cover to be embedded. The extension cover can be embedded in the inner cavity 24 or extend out of the inner cavity 24 to increase the total length of the protective cover 20 .

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the extension cover extends out of the inner cavity 24 and is in the unfolded state; Figure 5 As shown, the extension covers are all embedded in the inner cavity 24 and are in a retracted state.

[0051] The top section of the main cover body 21 is provided with a plurality of through holes 25. When the protective cover 20 is in the retracted state, the through holes 25 are all closed, and when the protective cover 20 is in the unfolded state, the through holes 25 are all opened.

[0052] Since a cavity is provided on the main cover body 21, the main cover body 21 is divided by the cavity to form a double-layer structure of an inner layer and an outer layer, and the through holes 25 are vertically aligned on the inner layer and the outer layer. A plurality of through holes 25 refers to a plurality of groups aligned up and down.

[0053] When the extension cover is embedded in the inner cavity 24, the extension cover forms a barrier between the inner layer and the outer layer of the through hole 25, so that the through hole 25 cannot be connected to each other up and down, that is, it is in a closed state; on the contrary, the extension cover extends out of the inner cavity 24 and does not play a blocking role, then the through hole 25 is opened.

[0054] The design of the telescopically adjustable protective cover 20 and the through hole 25 makes the protective cover 20 have greater flexibility:

[0055] For example, during the test, the protective cover 20 is unfolded and the through hole 25 is opened, so that the heat generated by the relevant components during the test can be dissipated to prevent the equipment from overheating, and proper ventilation can keep the temperature of the test environment stable, avoid the impact of temperature changes on the test results, and ensure the accuracy of the test data; and the main cover body 21 is a double-layer structure, which can effectively block debris and splashes to ensure the safety of the operator; and the inner cavity 24 of the main cover body 21 can act as a buffer when the workpiece accidentally splashes and impacts the main cover body 21, absorb and disperse energy, reduce the impact on the protective cover 20, prevent the protective cover 20 from being damaged or deformed, and enhance its protective effect.

[0056] In addition, during the non-testing process, the protective cover 20 is retracted and arranged outside the test unit 1. On the one hand, the retracted protective cover 20 can reduce the space it occupies, making the device more compact when not in use, and convenient for storage and management. This is especially important for laboratories with limited space, and more working areas can be freed up for other experiments or equipment. On the other hand, the closed through hole 25 allows the protective cover 20 to form a completely enclosed environment, effectively preventing external pollutants such as dust, water vapor, and moisture from entering the interior of the test unit 1, and keeping the device clean and dry.

[0057] Specifically, the extension cover includes an extension cover 1 22 and an extension cover 23, and one end of the extension cover 1 22 away from the main cover body 21 is in a closed state.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, Figure 2 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the state and structure of the protective cover in the embodiment; Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure enlargement at point A; Figure 5 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the second state structure of the protective cover in the embodiment;

[0059] A spring block 51 is movably provided at the top of one side of the extension cover close to the main cover body 21, and the outer layer of the top of the main cover body 21 is respectively provided with a socket 1 52 and a socket 2 53 for embedding the spring block 51. The socket 1 52 is arranged at both sides of the top of the main cover body 21, and the socket 2 53 is arranged in the middle position of the top of the main cover body 21.

[0060] The spring block 51, the first plug hole 52 and the second plug hole 53 are arranged so that the positions of the retracted and extended states of the protective cover 20 are fixed. When the spring block 51 of the extended cover is inserted into the first plug hole 52, it is in the extended state; when the spring block 51 of the extended cover is inserted into the second plug hole 53 located in the middle position, it is in the retracted state;

[0061] The spring block 51 is retractable, and by applying external force to the extension cover, the extension cover can slide in the inner cavity 24 of the main cover body 21. When the spring block 51 slides to the position of the socket 52, it will extend out and embed into the socket 52. By squeezing the spring block 51 from the outside, the spring block 51 can be contracted and separated from the socket 52, thereby realizing the switching of the position and state of the extension cover.

[0062] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the elastic block on the extension cover in the embodiment;

[0063] A receiving groove 54 is provided at the position where the spring block 51 is provided on the extension cover, and the spring block 51 is movably provided in the receiving groove 54. A spring 55 connected to the spring block 51 is also provided in the receiving groove 54. The spring block 51 extends out of the receiving groove 54 in a natural state or enters the receiving groove 54 under the action of external force to compress the spring 55.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the top view of the protective cover in the embodiment;

[0065] A baffle 30 is also slidably disposed on the top of the main cover body 21, and the baffle 30 can cover the through hole 25 or open the through hole 25 on the outside of the main cover body 21;

[0066] Specifically, a second slide groove 31 is provided on the top of the main cover body 21, and the baffle 30 is slidably installed in the second slide groove 31;

[0067] The provision of the baffle 30 provides the protective cover 20 with further flexibility and controllability, and when the protective cover 20 is in the unfolded state and the through hole 25 is opened, the through hole 25 can also be closed according to specific needs.

[0068] It can adapt to more application scenarios, such as testing the torsion fatigue test of steel at a specific temperature, and can also keep the protective cover 20 in a closed state.

[0069] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, Figure 2 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the state and structure of the protective cover in the embodiment; Figure 6 The diagram shows the cooperation between the temperature control unit and the main cover body in the embodiment;

[0070] It also includes a temperature control unit 40, which is disposed on the inner wall of the main cover body 21;

[0071] The temperature control unit 40 includes a mounting groove 41 formed on the inner wall of the main housing 21. A plurality of heating elements 42 are disposed in the mounting groove 41. A protective net 43 is also disposed at the open end of the mounting groove 41.

[0072] The temperature control unit 40 can form different temperature environments inside the protective cover 20 to test the torsional fatigue of steel at a specific temperature. The heating element 42 can be heated to increase the temperature inside the protective cover 20, and the protective net 43 protects the heating element 42.

[0073] The present invention also provides a method for testing torsional fatigue of 18CrNiMo7-6 gear steel, which uses the above-mentioned torsional fatigue testing device for 18CrNiMo7-6 gear steel and comprises the following steps:

[0074] S1, install the steel to be tested on the test unit 1;

[0075] S2, extending the extension cover 1 22 and the extension cover 2 23 out of the main cover body 21, so that the protective cover 20 is in an unfolded state and the through hole 25 is opened;

[0076] S3, sliding the protective cover 20 to the position of the test unit 1 to cover the test unit 1;

[0077] S4. Start the test unit 1 to perform the test.

[0078] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
