[0016] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, a device for testing the scratch resistance of a pipe coating layer of the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a device for testing the scratch resistance of a pipe coating layer of the present invention comprises a clamping mechanism 1, a ballast mechanism 2, a measuring scale 3 and a control device 4. A test pipe 5 is fixedly mounted on the clamping mechanism 1, and the clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp the test pipe 5. The ballast mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted above the clamping mechanism 1 and is aligned with the surface of the test pipe 5 to apply pressure and scratch the test pipe 5. The measuring scale 3 is fixedly mounted on the ballast mechanism 2 to indicate the scratch depth. The control device 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the clamping mechanism 1 to control the movement of the ballast mechanism 2.

[0018] The clamping mechanism 1 includes a fixed base 11, a support rod 12, a support rod fixing seat 13, a side clamping baffle 14, and an axial clamping baffle 15. The two support rod fixing seats 13 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the fixed base 11, and the two ends of the support rod 12 are fixedly installed on the support rod fixing seat 13 through bearing seats. The test pipe fitting 5 is sleeved on the support rod 12. The side clamping baffle 14 includes multiple groups, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the test pipe fitting 5. The side clamping baffle 14 is L-shaped and has a mounting hole at the bottom. After clamping the two side walls of the test pipe fitting 5, the side clamping baffle 14 is fixedly installed on the fixed base 11 with screws. There are multiple mounting holes on the fixed base 11, and the mounting position of the side clamping baffle 14 can be flexibly adjusted according to different models of the test pipe fitting 5. The axial clamping baffle 15 is arranged at both ends of the test pipe 5. The upper end of the axial clamping baffle 15 is sleeved on the support rod 12, and the lower end is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 11. In order to enhance the clamping stability of the axial clamping baffle 15, a transverse reinforcement 16 is also arranged at the bottom end of the axial clamping baffle 15. One end of the transverse reinforcement 16 is fixedly connected to the axial clamping baffle 15, and the other end is fixedly mounted on the fixed base 11 through a fixed column 161. During the test, the inner wall surface of the test pipe 5 is supported to adapt to test pipes of different calibers and wall thicknesses. The axial clamping baffle 15 prevents the lateral displacement of the pipe during the test, and the side clamping baffle 14 prevents the pipe from shaking, thereby avoiding errors in the experimental results.

[0019] The ballast mechanism 2 includes an outer shell 21, a movable device 22, and a scratching device 23. The outer shell 21 is fixedly installed above the fixed base 11 through a column 211. The outer shell 21 has two horizontal movable grooves 212 at the upper and lower parts. The scratching device 23 is arranged in the movable groove 212. The movable device 22 is arranged inside the outer shell 21 and is connected to the scratching device 23 to drive the scratching device 23 to move.

[0020] The scratching device 23 includes a top seat 231, a connecting rod 232, a scratching head base 233, and a scratching head 234. The top seat 231 is arranged on a movable groove 242 above the scratching device housing 24, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 232, and the lower end of the connecting rod 232 is fixedly connected to the scratching head 234. The movable groove 212 below the housing 21 has slide rails 213 on both sides, and the scratching head base 233 is slidably connected to the slide rails 213 and movably connected to the periphery of the scratching head 234. The scratching head 234 can slide up and down in the scratching head base 233. The scratching head 234 is replaceable and can be replaced when the scratching head 234 is worn or the size does not match.

[0021] The measuring scale 3 is fixedly mounted on the scratch head base 233, and extends below the movable slot 212 below the housing 21. The scratch head 234 has a horizontal indicating arrow 2341. The scratch depth can be measured and read by measuring the scale 3 and the indicating arrow 2341 on the scratch head 234. The measuring scale 3 can be adjusted up and down, and can be adjusted to zero when measuring different wall thicknesses. When a scratch occurs, the scratch head 234 drops as a whole, and the dropping distance is read through the scale, which is the scratch depth.

[0022] The moving device 22 includes a moving device fixing base 221, a gear set 222 and a chain 223. The moving device fixing base 221 is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner part of the outer shell 21, the gear set 222 is fixedly installed on the moving device fixing base 221, and the chain 223 is installed on the gear set 222. The chain 223 is fixedly connected to the scratching head base 233 of the scratching device 23 at the bottom, and the chain 223 can drive the scratching head base 233 to move along the slide rail 213.

[0023] The control device 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder fixing seat 41, a hydraulic cylinder 42, a pressure sensor 43, a moving motor (not shown in the figure), a device switch 44, a working indicator light 45 and a display screen 46. The hydraulic cylinder fixing seat 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed base 11, and the hydraulic cylinder 42 is fixedly installed on the hydraulic cylinder fixing seat 41. The pressure sensor 43 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 42. The pressure sensor 43 is connected to the upper end of the top seat 231 of the scratching device 23 through a conveying pipeline. The load size is adjusted by the oil pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 42 and the pressure sensor 43. The moving motor is fixedly connected to the gear set 222 of the moving device 22, and is used to drive the gear set 222 to rotate, thereby controlling the chain 223 to drive the scratching head 234 to move. The device switch 44, the working indicator light 45 and the display screen 46 are fixedly installed on the housing 21. The device switch 44 is used to turn on and off the device, the working indicator light 45 is used to indicate the working status, and the display screen 46 is used to display and set the current working parameters.

[0024] A method for testing the scratch resistance of a pipe coating layer of the present invention comprises the following steps: 1. Clamp the test pipe 5 through the clamping mechanism 1. Remove the support rod fixing seat 13, insert the test pipe 5 into the support rod 12, re-fix the support rod fixing seat 13, and the test pipe 5 is supported by the support rod 12. Fix the side clamping baffle 14 according to the diameter of the test pipe 5, and fix the axial clamping baffle 15 according to the length of the test pipe 5 to ensure that the test pipe 5 does not move horizontally or shake.

[0025] 2. Select a scratch head 234 that meets the test requirements and install it on the scratch head base 233, control the up and down position of the scratch head base 233, and after the scratch head 234 is attached to the surface of the test pipe 5, adjust the measuring scale 3 so that the indicator arrow 2341 is aligned with the zero scale line of the measuring scale 3.

[0026] 3. According to the test requirements, the load pressure, the stroke of the scratching head, and the speed of the scratching head are set through the control device 4. The hydraulic cylinder 42 applies the set pressure, and the actual pressure value can be observed on the pressure sensor 43. According to the set speed and stroke, the moving motor of the moving device 22 drives the chain 223 to move, thereby driving the scratching head base 233 to move.

[0027] Specifically, The working parameters are set on the display screen 46, and the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 42 is controlled so that the total load reaches 30kg, 50kg or other loads. After the load is applied, the test is started within 5 seconds.

[0028] The speed of the moving motor is set so that the moving device 22 moves horizontally with the scratching head 234 at a constant speed of 250 mm / min+25 mm / min. The scratch length is preferably 75 mm.

[0029] Set the number of scratches and repeat the scratching action.

[0030] 4. Measure the scratch depth during the movement. When a scratch occurs, the scratch head base 233 moves downward as a whole, and produces a relative displacement in the vertical direction with the measuring scale 3, and the scratch depth is measured by the measuring scale 3.

[0031] 5. After reaching the specified scratching distance, stop the test, control the hydraulic cylinder 42 to raise the scratching device 23, and take out the test pipe 5.

[0032] It is to be understood that the present invention is described by some embodiments, and it is known to those skilled in the art that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
