Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel wire rope tension test fixtures, in particular to a steel wire rope fastener tension test fixture. Background Art

[0002] In modern industry, wire ropes are key components for carrying and transmitting force and are widely used in bridge construction, mine hoisting, lifting and transportation, and many other fields. Wire ropes need to withstand huge tensile forces during use. Therefore, in tensile tests, it is necessary to ensure that they can be firmly clamped when under force to avoid slippage or dislocation, and to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test. In order to ensure the safety and performance of wire ropes, it is particularly important to design a tensile test fixture that can provide strong clamping and efficient connection.

[0003] Existing wire rope tension test fixtures usually rely on simple clamping structures, and most designs use more traditional clamps and connection methods to fix the wire rope. The advantages of these fixtures are simple structure, easy production, and preliminary fixation of the wire rope. However, the fixtures in the prior art mostly maintain the position of the wire rope through static clamping. Although they can maintain a basic fixing effect in daily tests, the stability of the clamping is not reliable under high tension or long-term stress.

[0004] Although the existing wire rope tension test fixture can work under low-intensity conditions through simple threaded connections and basic clamping methods, in a long-term, high-frequency tension environment, the clamping force between the chuck and the wire rope is insufficient, and slippage or dislocation is likely to occur; in addition, the existing connection structure is prone to loosening due to tension fluctuations, affecting the accuracy of the test. Summary of the invention

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a steel plate, a U-shaped steel groove is installed at the bottom of the steel plate, and the inside of the U-shaped steel groove is slidably connected with a lower clamp and an upper clamp in sequence from bottom to top. The middle part of the steel plate is threadedly connected with a tightening bolt, and one end of the tightening bolt close to the lower clamp is in contact with the upper clamp.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a fastening screw and a connecting steel rod, the fastening screw is slidably connected to the middle part of the steel plate, the fastening screw and the U-shaped steel groove are threadedly connected, and the connecting steel rod is fixedly connected to a side of the steel plate away from the U-shaped steel groove.

[0009] Preferably, a through hole is opened in the middle of the steel plate, and the fastening screw is slidably connected to the middle of the through hole to provide space for the fastening screw to move in the steel plate.

[0010] Preferably, a thread groove is opened in the middle of the U-shaped steel channel, and the fastening screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the thread groove, so as to complete the connection between the steel plate and the U-shaped steel channel after the fastening screw is screwed in.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the tightening bolt away from the upper clamp is fixedly connected to a handle, and the handle is prevented from slipping during rotation by a polygon arranged on the outside.

[0012] Preferably, reinforcing steel is fixedly connected between the steel plate and the connecting steel rod, and the reinforcing steel is used to maintain the welding between the connecting steel rod and the steel plate stable.

[0013] Preferably, a diamond is provided on one side of the lower chuck and the upper chuck, and the diamond is used to increase the contact points between the steel wire rope and the lower chuck and the upper chuck, and is adapted to steel wire ropes of different diameters.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for using a wire rope fastener tension test fixture, comprising a clamping step of a clamping mechanism and a connecting step of a connecting mechanism, wherein the clamping step of the clamping mechanism comprises: The wire rope is passed through the U-shaped steel groove, and the wire rope needs to be located between the lower clamp and the upper clamp. At this time, the upper clamp is moved downward by rotating the tightening bolt and the middle part of the wire rope is pressed downward and deformed until the upper and lower clamps can no longer compact the wire rope. At the same time, when the middle part of the wire rope moves downward and deforms, a gap is left between the two sides of the upper clamp and the U-shaped steel groove, thereby providing space for the wire rope to enter and clamping the wire rope so that the wire rope is firmly clamped in the U-shaped steel groove.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting steps of the connecting mechanism are: After aligning the U-shaped steel channel and the steel plate, insert the fastening screws into the steel plate and then screw them into the steel plate. At this time, the U-shaped steel channel and the steel plate are connected. By using a tensile testing machine to clamp the connecting steel rod, the tensile test of the wire rope can be completed.
