Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of test clamping parts, and in particular to an adaptive stretching clamp for high and low temperature tests. Background Art

[0002] Tensile properties are one of the important mechanical properties of materials, and are usually evaluated through tensile tests. Tensile tests at different temperatures can help us understand the performance of materials under different temperature conditions. Temperature changes may affect the tensile properties of materials. For example, low temperatures can make materials brittle, while high temperatures can cause materials to soften.

[0003] By analyzing the effect of ambient temperature on the tensile properties of materials, we can better select suitable materials for specific environmental conditions, and more accurately control the molding process conditions of materials to improve the performance and reliability of materials. By optimizing material design and R&D processes, we can achieve the goal of improving material properties and increase the service life and performance of materials. Therefore, research and analysis of the tensile properties of materials under different temperature conditions is of great significance to the field of materials engineering.

[0004] In tensile tests, the importance of fixture design is self-evident. The design of room temperature tensile fixtures is relatively mature, and active clamping methods are often used to clamp samples. Brittle materials or samples that have been subjected to low or high temperature environments will deform, resulting in slippage at the clamping end or excessive clamping force, which causes damage or slippage at the clamping end during sample deformation, thus causing the experiment to fail. Therefore, when dealing with brittle materials or samples that have been subjected to low or high temperature treatment, high and low temperature fixtures need to be installed in high and low temperature boxes. Since the tensile fixture is limited by the travel of the testing machine, this requires the tensile fixture to be small in size, meet the test force, and be resistant to high and low temperatures. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adaptive tensile fixture for high and low temperature tests, which has the effect of firmly and effectively clamping samples of different sizes under different environments.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical scheme: an adaptive tensile clamp for high and low temperature tests, comprising an upper chuck and a lower chuck symmetrically arranged, both the upper chuck and the lower chuck are fixed with a clamping part, and a clamping assembly is arranged on the clamping part, and the clamping assembly includes a cylindrical clamping block for clamping both sides of the sample and an elastic member for pressing the upper and lower ends of the sample.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, both ends of the sample are clamped by a pair of cylindrical sliders, the elastic part gives a pre-tightening fixing force to the sample in the thickness direction, the curvature of the cylinder matches the curvature of the transition section of the sample, and different sizes of samples can be clamped by installing cylindrical sliders of different diameters and thicknesses, so that the clamping part can firmly and effectively clamp samples of different sizes in different environments, and realize rapid batch tensile testing.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: the cylindrical clamping blocks are configured as two groups that slide relatively on the clamping portion, the two groups of cylindrical clamping blocks are respectively located on both sides of the elastic member, and the clamping portion is provided with a driving component that drives the two groups of cylindrical clamping blocks to move relative to each other.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component drives the cylindrical clamping block to move relatively to adjust the position of the cylindrical clamping block, so that it can adapt to samples of different sizes, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. At the same time, quickly adjusting the position of the clamping block can shorten the time for changing samples and improve test efficiency.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a cavity is provided in the clamping part, the driving assembly includes a horizontal screw rod rotatably connected to the clamping part and having opposite threads at both ends located in the cavity, a moving block respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the horizontal screw rod, and a driving device for driving the two horizontal screw rods to rotate synchronously, the clamping part is provided with a through hole connected to the cavity, and the moving block is fixedly connected to the cylindrical clamping block after passing through the through hole.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the driving device drives the horizontal screw to rotate, and then when the horizontal screw rotates, the two cylindrical clamping blocks located on the same clamping part are driven by the moving block to move relative to adjust the position of the cylindrical clamping block. Through the driving component, the position of the clamping block can be automatically adjusted, thereby reducing the error of manual operation and improving the clamping accuracy and consistency. At the same time, the horizontal screw is located inside the clamping part, which can reduce the external dimensions of the clamping part, making the overall equipment more compact and suitable for working environments with limited space.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: the driving device includes a driving motor fixed to one of the clamping parts for driving the horizontal screw to rotate, the horizontal screw extending out of the clamping part has a first bevel gear fixed at one end thereof, the clamping part is rotatably connected to a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, and a telescopic rod is fixed between the upper and lower second bevel gears.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a driving motor drives a horizontal screw to rotate, and then the first bevel gear at the end of the horizontal screw rotates, driving the second bevel gear meshing therewith to rotate, and the other second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are driven to rotate through the telescopic rod, and then the two horizontal screws rotate synchronously to drive the cylindrical clamping blocks of the upper and lower clamping parts to move synchronously to clamp the sample. The synchronous movement ensures that the upper and lower groups of clamping blocks can apply clamping force evenly, avoiding deformation or damage of the sample due to uneven clamping, thereby improving processing accuracy and making the operation easier. In addition, only one driving device needs to be controlled to achieve simultaneous adjustment of the upper and lower clamping blocks, reducing the complexity of operation.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: the telescopic rod comprises an inner rod and an outer rod sleeved outside the inner rod, the inner rod is configured as a rectangular bar, and a rectangular groove is provided in the outer rod for the inner rod to slide.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when conducting a tensile test, the testing machine stretches the sample through the upper chuck and the lower chuck, the distance between the upper and lower clamping parts is lengthened, the inner rod and the outer rod slide relatively, the overall length of the telescopic rod is extended, and the upper and lower second bevel gears are always connected to each other through the telescopic rod, so that the upper and lower horizontal screws can always rotate synchronously, thereby evenly applying clamping force to the sample.

[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: a pressure sensor is provided on the cylindrical clamping block, and the pressure sensor is connected to the driving motor via a controller.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the pre-tightening clamping force between the sample and the cylindrical slider is set before the experiment. When the pre-tightening clamping force change is detected during the test, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the drive motor to start adjusting the position of the cylindrical clamping block, thereby ensuring the stability of the pre-tightening clamping force, thereby always keeping the sample at an appropriate clamping force and preventing unnecessary deformation of the sample during the clamping process.

[0018] The present invention is further configured as follows: the elastic member is configured as a spring sheet, an adjustment block is slidably arranged on the clamping portion, and an end portion of the spring sheet is mounted on the adjustment block via a fastening bolt of an external sleeve spring.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylindrical clamping block clamps the sample. After determining the clamping position of the sample, the sample is elastically fixed by the spring sheet, and a pre-tightening force is given to the sample in the thickness direction. The batch of samples for testing can be quickly replaced by sliding the spring sheet upward and left and right. At the same time, after the sample breaks, the fracture surface is prevented from being damaged due to the sample falling, which affects the microscopic analysis of other fracture surfaces of the sample in the later stage.

[0020] The present invention is further configured as follows: a slide groove is provided on the clamping portion, the adjustment block slides in the slide groove, and the adjustment block is threadedly connected with an adjustment bolt extending into the slide groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment block can be slid up and down to adjust the position of the spring piece according to the length and thickness of the sample, so as to facilitate the fixation of different sample lengths in the thickness direction.

[0022] The present invention is further configured as follows: both the upper chuck and the lower chuck are provided with engraved lines.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the sample is adjusted to be consistent with the tensile force direction of the tensile testing machine, thereby further solving the problem of sample centering.

[0024] The present invention is further configured as follows: the clamp is made of zirconium oxide material.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire fixture is made of high-strength, low-thermal-conductivity, high-temperature-resistant zirconia material, which has high mechanical strength and toughness, can withstand mechanical stress under high temperature, ensure the stability and reliability of the fixture during the test, and meet various test environment requirements.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. Clamp both ends of the sample through a pair of cylindrical sliders. The elastic part gives a pre-tightening force to the sample in the thickness direction. The curvature of the cylinder matches the curvature of the transition section of the sample. By installing cylindrical sliders of different diameters and thicknesses, samples of different sizes can be clamped. This allows the clamping part to clamp samples of different sizes stably and effectively in different environments, and can achieve rapid batch tensile testing.

[0028] 2. The drive assembly drives the cylindrical clamping block to move relatively and adjust the position of the cylindrical clamping block, so that it can adapt to samples of different sizes, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. At the same time, quickly adjusting the position of the clamping block can shorten the time for changing samples and improve the test efficiency;
