Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spring flat steel hardness testing, in particular to a spring flat steel hardness testing device and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] Hardness is the ability of a material to resist local plastic deformation and is one of the important indicators for measuring the performance of spring steel. The hardness of spring flat steel is directly related to its wear resistance, fatigue resistance and service life.

[0003] At present, the commonly used hardness test methods for spring flat steel include Brinell hardness test (HB), Rockwell hardness test (HR) and Vickers hardness test (HV). Brinell hardness test is suitable for softer materials. By applying a certain pressure, the carbide ball is pressed into the material surface, and then the indentation diameter is measured to calculate the hardness. Rockwell hardness test is suitable for harder materials. Diamond cone or carbide ball head is used to apply pressure on the material surface, and the hardness is calculated according to the indentation depth. Vickers hardness test uses diamond square cone head and is suitable for testing various hardness materials.

Therefore, most of the common testing devices on the market do not have the function of locating the spring flat steel. However, when encountering some unqualified spring flat steel, the spring flat steel will be deformed during the extrusion test, and then it is easy to be displaced, causing the test point to be offset, affecting the accuracy of the spring flat steel hardness test.

The return spring 47 and the top plate 46 can drive the positioning rod 44 to move downward synchronously. When the positioning rod 44 moves downward, the clamping plate 45 will move downward synchronously. When the clamping plate 45 contacts the upper surface of the spring flat steel, the clamping plate 45 and the positioning rod 44 will be limited by the spring flat steel, so that the clamping plate 45 and the positioning rod 44 are in a static state. The side wall of the positioning plate 41 is fixedly installed with a sliding shaft 48, and the side wall of the positioning plate 41 is fixedly installed with a cross bar 49. One end of the threaded rod 43 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the body 1, and the other end of the threaded rod 43 passes through the body 1 and is fixedly installed with a handle Hand 412, the threaded rod 43 is rotatably connected to the penetration point of the body 1, and the outer wall of the body 1 is slidably connected with an L-plate 413, the L-plate 413 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 43, the threaded rod 43 is rotated by the handle 412, and the L-plate 413 threadedly connected to it is driven to slide on the outer wall of the body 1 by the rotation of the threaded rod 43, and an inclined groove 414 is provided on the L-plate 413, and the outer wall of the cross bar 49 is attached to the inner wall of the inclined groove 414. When the L-plate 413 slides, the inclined groove 414 will squeeze the cross bar 49, so that the cross bar 49 drives the positioning plate 41 to slide on the side wall of the body 1.

[0036] The side plate 42 is slidably connected to the side wall of the top plate 46, and the outer wall of the side plate 42 is fixedly installed with an inclined rod 410, and the outer wall of the sliding shaft 48 is fitted against the inner wall of the inclined rod 410. The positioning plate 41 stretches the reset spring 47 and drives the sliding shaft 48 to move against the inner wall of the inclined rod 410. At this time, the sliding shaft 48 squeezes the inclined rod 410, so that the inclined rod 410 drives the side plate 42 to slide on the side wall of the top plate 46. The side wall of the side plate 42 and the bottom of the clamping plate 45 are fixedly installed with rubber pads 411. The side plate 42 and the rubber pads 411 can be used to clamp the two sides of the spring flat steel, thereby limiting the spring flat steel and further improving the stability of the spring flat steel.

[0037] A method for testing the hardness of a spring flat steel, using the above-mentioned spring flat steel hardness testing device, comprises the following steps:

[0038] S1. Before use, first place the spring flat steel to be tested for hardness inside the machine body 1 and directly below the test head 3;

[0039] S2. When the spring flat steel is placed directly below the test head 3, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is started to drive the test head 3 to move downward, so that the test head 3 contacts the spring flat steel and presses the spring flat steel downward;

[0040] S3. A certain downward pressure is applied by the hydraulic cylinder 2 so that the test head 3 is pressed into the surface of the spring flat steel, and then the indentation diameter is measured to calculate the hardness, thereby obtaining the hardness value of the spring flat steel.

[0041] When the present embodiment is working, firstly, the spring flat steel to be tested for hardness is placed inside the machine body 1 and placed directly below the test head 3. After the spring flat steel is placed directly below the test head 3, the threaded rod 43 is rotated by the handle 412. The rotation of the threaded rod 43 drives the L plate 413 threadably connected thereto to slide on the outer wall of the machine body 1 and gradually move away from the handle 412. At this time, the inclined slide groove 414 provided on the L plate 413 will squeeze the cross bar 49, so that the cross bar 49 drives the positioning plate 41 to slide downward on the side wall of the machine body 1. When the positioning plate 41 slides downward, it will cooperate with the return spring 47. The top plate 46 can drive the positioning rod 44 to move downward synchronously. When the positioning rod 44 moves downward, the clamping plate 45 will move downward synchronously. When the clamping plate 45 contacts the upper surface of the spring flat steel, the clamping plate 45 and the positioning rod 44 will be limited by the spring flat steel, so that the clamping plate 45 and the positioning rod 44 are in a static state. At this time, the elasticity of the return spring 47 cooperates with the positioning plate 41 and the positioning rod 44 to drive the clamping plate 45 to be close to the top of the spring flat steel. The clamping plate 45 can be used to press the spring flat steel into the inside of the machine body 1. When the clamping plate 45 and the positioning rod 44 are in a static state, the top plate 4 6 and the side plate 42 will also be in a static state. At this time, as the positioning plate 41 slides downward, the reset spring 47 will be stretched, and the positioning plate 41 will drive the sliding shaft 48 to fit the inner wall of the inclined rod 410 and move. At this time, the sliding shaft 48 will squeeze the inclined rod 410, so that the inclined rod 410 drives the side plate 42 to slide on the side wall of the top plate 46. At this time, the two sets of side plates 42 will approach each other until the two sets of side plates 42 fit on both sides of the spring flat steel, and the threaded rod 43 can be stopped from rotating. At this time, the side plates 42 can be used to clamp the two sides of the spring flat steel, so that the spring flat steel can be limited. The cooperation with the side plate 42 can fix the spring flat steel in all directions, so that the spring flat steel can be tested for hardness in a stable state, avoiding deformation and displacement of the spring flat steel during the hardness test, which may affect the test data, and thus improve the accuracy of the hardness test value of the spring flat steel. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 2 can be started to drive the test head 3 to move downward, so that the test head 3 contacts the spring flat steel and squeezes the spring flat steel downward. A certain downward pressure is applied by the hydraulic cylinder 2, so that the test head 3 is pressed into the surface of the spring flat steel, and then the indentation diameter is measured to calculate the hardness, thereby obtaining the hardness value of the spring flat steel.

During the rotation of the rotating rod 51, the L rod 53 will be driven to move in contact with the inner wall of the transverse groove 58. At the same time, the L rod 53 will push the baffle 57 to make the baffle 57 slide on the inner wall of the machine body 1.

[0043] The inner wall of the body 1 is slidably connected with a blocking cover 57, which is provided with a transverse groove 58. The end of the L rod 53 away from the rotating rod 51 is attached to the inner wall of the transverse groove 58. The blocking cover 57 can slide upward to cover the spring flat steel inside the body 1 to prevent the spring flat steel from being broken by the test head 3 during the hardness test, causing metal debris to splash everywhere and accidentally injure surrounding personnel.

The other end of the bent rod 61 is fixedly installed with a hollow rod 63, and a slider 64 is slidably connected to the top of the machine body 1. A push rod 65 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the slider 64, and the outer wall of the push rod 65 fits on the hollow rod 6 3, the slider 64 slides and drives the push rod 65 to move in contact with the inner wall of the hollow rod 63, and at the same time, the push rod 65 pushes the hollow rod 63, so that the hollow rod 63 drives the bent rod 61 to rotate on the top of the body 1, and an oblique groove 66 is provided on the blocking cover 57. A connecting rod 67 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slider 64, and one end of the connecting rod 67 away from the slider 64 is in contact with the inner wall of the oblique groove 66. When the blocking cover 57 slides upward on the inner wall of the body 1, the oblique groove 66 squeezes the connecting rod 67, so that the connecting rod 67 pushes the slider 64, so that the slider 64 slides on the top of the body 1.

[0045] The cleaning mechanism 7 comprises a fixed shaft 71, a gear 72, a driving rack 73, a brush 74 and a driven rack 75; one end of the fixed shaft 71 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the machine body 1, and the other end of the fixed shaft 71 is rotatably connected to the gear 72. The outer wall of the L plate 413 is fixedly mounted with a driving rack 73, and the driving rack 73 is meshed with the gear 72. When the L plate 413 slides on the side wall of the machine body 1 and gradually moves away from the handle 412, the driving rack 73 can drive the gear 72 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 71, and the side of the machine body 1 is rotated. The wall is slidably connected with a brush 74, and a driven rack 75 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the brush 74. The driven rack 75 is meshed with the gear 72. When the gear 72 rotates, the driven rack 75 meshed with it can drive the brush 74 to slide synchronously on the side wall of the body 1 in the opposite direction of the L plate 413.

[0046] When this embodiment is working: in the process of the L plate 413 sliding on the side wall of the body 1 and gradually moving away from the handle 412, the oblique pressure groove 56 will squeeze the slide bar 55, so that the slide bar 55 pushes the slide plate 54, so that the slide plate 54 slides on the inner wall of the body 1 and gradually slides out of the body 1, and at the same time, the slide bar 55 will fit the inner wall of the spiral groove 52 and move and squeeze the spiral groove 52, so that the rotating rod 51 rotates on the inner wall of the body 1. During the rotation of the rotating rod 51, the L rod 53 will be driven to fit the inner wall of the transverse groove 58 and move. At the same time, the L rod 53 will push the blocking cover 57 upwards, so that the blocking cover 57 slides upward on the inner wall of the body 1. The upward sliding of the blocking cover 57 can cover the spring flat steel inside the body 1, so as to prevent the spring flat steel from being broken by the test head 3 during the hardness test, causing metal debris to splash everywhere and accidentally injure surrounding staff, so that the staff can perform hardness testing in a safe working environment.

[0047] The protective cover 62 on the two sets of bent rods 61 can cover the test head 3 to prevent the test head 3 from being hit by hard objects when the machine body 1 is idle.

When the bent rod 61 rotates, it will drive the protective cover 62 gradually away from the test head 3, so that the protective cover 62 is separated from the protection of the test head 3, so that the test head 3 can move downward to perform a hardness test on the spring flat steel.

[0048] As the L-plate 413 slides on the side wall of the body 1 and gradually moves away from the handle 412, the driving rack 73 can drive the gear 72 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 71. While the gear 72 rotates, the driven rack 75 meshing with it can drive the brush 74 to slide synchronously on the side wall of the body 1 in the opposite direction of the L-plate 413. The sliding of the brush 74 can clean the surface of the spring flat steel to prevent impurities on the surface of the spring flat steel from affecting the downward pressure applied by the test head 3 to the spring flat steel, thereby further improving the data accuracy of the spring flat steel hardness test.
