[0002] Wear is an important cause of parts failure. With the continuous advancement of my country's large-scale infrastructure construction and infrastructure overseas strategy, ports, hydropower stations, water conservancy hubs and other projects across the country and even around the world are constantly under construction, and more and more infrastructure equipment and their parts need to work in water flow environments such as rivers and oceans for a long time. The friction and wear in the water flow environment is very different from that in the dry environment. For example, the speed of the water flow, the immersion depth of the parts in the water, the pH value of the liquid and the sediment content can have a great impact on the wear of the parts.

[0003] At present, most of the friction and wear devices that simulate liquid environments are static liquids, and the liquid flow rate and liquid level height cannot be adjusted, so they cannot accurately simulate different river and ocean environments. In addition, although the basic principles of different types of friction and wear testing machines at home and abroad are the same, the specific structures are still quite different. When conducting friction and wear experiments under special working conditions, it is necessary to purchase or customize the environmental devices separately, which increases the test cost. Therefore, it is very important to design a friction and wear test system that can simulate the water flow environment, control the liquid level and water flow rate, and can adjust liquid media with different pH values ​​and liquid media with different sediment contents, so as to accurately simulate different river or ocean environments and be suitable for different types of friction and wear testing machines.

The test container 3 is installed on the workbench of the reciprocating friction and wear tester and can reciprocate with the workbench, and the grinding disc 2 is fixed to the bottom of the test container 3 and can reciprocate with the test container 3. The grinding specimen 1 is columnar (preferably cylindrical) and is installed on the reciprocating friction and wear tester and arranged above the grinding disc 2.

The water inlet is connected to the first flow control valve 5, which is also connected to the water inlet control pump 6, which is also connected to the water outlet of the liquid storage container 4. The water outlet of the test container 3 is connected to the water outlet control pump 7, which is also connected to the second flow control valve 8, which is also connected to the return water port of the liquid storage container 4. The flow meter 9 is arranged between the liquid storage container 4 and the water inlet control pump 6 or between the liquid storage container 4 and the second flow control valve 8.

The PLC controller 10 is connected to the first flow control valve 5, the water inlet control pump 6, the water outlet control pump 7, the second flow control valve 8, the flow meter 9, and the monitoring screen 11 through data lines, and is used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet control pump and the water outlet control pump, and control the opening and closing of the first and second flow control valves and the flow meter. The PLC controller can be controlled through the monitoring screen to realize the regulation of the water inlet control pump, the water outlet control pump, the first flow control valve, the second flow control valve, and the flow meter.

[0021] The liquid storage container 4 is filled with test water, and the test water in the liquid storage container 4 is pumped into the test container 3 by the water inlet control pump 6, and the water inlet flow rate into the test container 3 is controlled by the first flow control valve. The water in the test container 3 is returned to the liquid storage container 4 by the water outlet control pump, and the water outlet flow rate is controlled by the second flow control valve, and the water flow rate of the system is monitored by the flow meter.

[0022] In one embodiment, the water inlet control pump and the first flow control valve, the first flow control valve and the test container, the test container and the water outlet control pump, the water outlet control pump and the second flow control valve, the second flow control valve and the flow meter, the flow meter and the liquid storage container, and the liquid storage container and the water inlet control pump are all connected by bellows to achieve water flow between the various components.

[0024] The test container 3 is made of metal and can be a cylinder, a cube, a cuboid, or a polygon. A transparent observation window is provided on the side wall of the test container 3, and scale lines are provided next to the observation window. The scale lines are provided on the outer wall of the test container 3, and the liquid level in the test container 3 can be conveniently observed through the observation window and the scale lines.

[0025] The above test system can simulate different water flow environments and test the friction and wear of the abraded specimens under different water flow environments. The test method for simulating the friction and wear of the abraded specimens under different water flow environments using the above test system includes the following steps: (1) The specimen to be ground is mounted on a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine and set above the grinding disc. The height of the specimen to be ground is adjusted so that its lower end is in close contact with the top of the grinding disc.

[0027] (3) When the liquid level in the test container 3 reaches the liquid level designed for the test, the operating monitoring screen controls the water outlet control pump 7, the second flow control valve 8 and the flow meter 9 to open through the PLC controller, so that the water in the test container 3 circulates into the water storage container 4. Observe the flow data on the flow meter 9, and control the opening of the first flow control valve and the second flow control valve to keep the liquid level in the test container 3 at the liquid level designed for the test, and keep the water inflow and outflow at the flow rates designed for the test, so as to simulate the water flow environment of the grinding specimen under a certain liquid level and a certain water flow rate. The water flow rate can be observed through the monitoring screen or the flow meter on the flow meter, and the opening of the first flow control valve and the second flow control valve can be observed and adjusted through the monitoring screen.

It is also possible to add a certain amount of sand to the water in the liquid storage container to simulate the water flow environment of different sand contents, and test the friction and wear of the ground specimen in a water flow environment of a certain sand content. The particle size and amount of sand added are selected and designed according to the test requirements.

The water inlet control pump and the water outlet control pump adopt the electric diaphragm pump model BS6500 of Shandong Zhongju Electric Co., Ltd.

The reciprocating friction and wear tester can adopt the HSR-2M domestic reciprocating friction and wear tester, or the RTEC MFT5000 imported multifunctional high-temperature wear tester, but the above description is not regarded as a limitation of the present invention.

[0031] In an experimental embodiment, the specimen to be ground is cylindrical, with a diameter of 4 mm and a height of 18 mm; the grinding disc is disc-shaped, with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 3 mm (including surface treatment), which is suitable for conducting friction and wear tests in a laboratory simulating a water flow environment, but this description is not regarded as a limitation of the present invention.

[0032] The material of the grinded specimen is metal, ceramic, etc. The metal includes but is not limited to steel.

[0033] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. The present invention can also have other forms of embodiments according to the above structures and functions, which are not listed one by one. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made by any technician familiar with the profession to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
