[0002] Nanoindentation is a technique that uses a small load to press into the surface of a material and records the displacement of the indenter in real time to calculate the material's hardness, elastic modulus, nano-scratches, coefficient of friction, yield strength, and interfacial bonding force. Studying the microstructure, mineral composition, and micromechanical characteristics of rocks using nanoindentation is of great significance. In nanoindentation tests, rock samples are typically placed directly into the nanoindentation testing device for parameter measurement. The rock is not subjected to lateral loads.

A moving block 43 is fixedly provided at the telescopic end of the adjusting cylinder 42, and the moving block 43 is slidably engaged with the adjusting block 46.

[0038] The testing instrument base 1 is equipped with a loading system 11, an imaging system 12, a moving system 13, and a control system. The loading system 11 can apply a load, and a pressure head is provided at the bottom of the loading system 11. The height of the loading system 11 can be adjusted by moving the pressure head vertically. The testing instrument base 1 is equipped with a moving system 13, on which a loading platform 2 is mounted. The moving system 13 drives the loading platform 2 to move longitudinally or laterally on the horizontal plane. The moving system 13 can adopt a piezoelectric ceramic drive system or an air-bearing guide rail system to drive the loading platform 2 to move in the x and y directions. The specific moving system 13 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The pressure head can be directly pressed into the surface of the sample 5. The sample 5 is a rectangular rock sample. Each test uses sample 5. The sizes of the specimens vary, and the size of the placement stage 7 can be different from that of the specimen 5. The mechanical properties of the specimen 5 are reflected by the indentation on its surface after the test. The imaging system 12 includes a camera and an optical microscope. Initial parameters such as maximum load, indentation depth, and loading rate are input to the control system. The loading system 11, the indenter action, and data acquisition are automatically controlled. The camera monitors the entire test process and can also capture images of the indentation point location and shape. The optical microscope can assist the indenter in accurately locating the indentation area. The optical microscope can also perform dynamic indentation morphology tracking, record the indentation formation process in real time, and measure the actual size of the indentation. The protective cover set on the outside of the test instrument base 1 is sealed during the test and opened after the test.

[0039] The clamping assembly 3 also includes a fixing plate 35. The side of the clamping block 31 away from the sample 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 35 via a fixed mounting rod. A support plate 313 is vertically fixed on the side of the clamping block 31 facing the fixing plate 35, and the support plate 313 is located at the end of the clamping block 31. A mating rod 311 is fixedly installed on the end wall of the clamping block 31 with the support plate 313, and a mating block 312 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other end of the clamping block 31. The mating block 312 is approximately L-shaped. A locking slider 32 is slidably installed on the mating rod 311. A boss 321 is provided on the side of the locking slider 32 facing the fixing plate 35, and a rotating pressure plate 34 is rotatably installed on the other side. The support plate 313 and the locking slider 32 are located at the same end of the clamping block 31. A locking cylinder 38 is installed on the support plate 313. The telescopic end of the locking cylinder 38 passes through the support plate 313 and is fixedly connected to the boss 321. The extension or retraction of the telescopic end of the locking cylinder 38 can adjust the locking slider 32 to move closer to or further away from the sample 5 along the axial direction of the mating rod 311. A connecting shaft is rotatably provided at the end of the locking slider 32 that is rotatably connected to the rotating pressure plate 34. A worm gear 37 and the rotating pressure plate 34 are fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft. A connecting platform 322 is fixedly provided on the side of the locking slider 32 away from the boss 321. A worm 36 is rotatably provided on the connecting platform 322. The worm 36 is connected to the worm gear 37 through a transmission. The worm 36 is driven by a knob to drive the worm gear 37 to rotate, so that the rotating pressure plate 34 rotates to be parallel or perpendicular to the locking slider 32. The worm gear structure has a self-locking function to prevent the rotating pressure plate 34 from shifting after rotating to the set position.

[0040] When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to tensile force, the rotating pressure plate 34 is rotated to make it parallel to the locking slider 32, and the locking cylinder 38 is adjusted to drive the locking slider 32 and the rotating pressure plate 34 to approach the sample 5 until the side wall of the rotating pressure plate 34 contacts the side wall of the sample 5.

[0041] When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive or shear force, the rotating pressure plate 34 is adjusted to be perpendicular to the locking slider 32, and the locking slider 32 is adjusted to be located at the end of the mating rod 311. At this time, the locking slider 32 and the rotating pressure plate 34 do not affect the proximity of the adjusting slider 33 in their relative clamping assembly 3.

[0042] The adjustment slider 33 has a blind groove 331 in the middle of its bottom surface and a moving groove 332 on the side of the adjustment slider 33 away from the sample 5. The adjustment slider 33 is slidably inserted into or separated from the mating block 312 on the clamping block 31 through the blind groove 331. The moving groove 332 is slidably inserted into the adjustment block 46 in the side support assembly 4.

[0043] When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force, the length of the sample 5 is greater than the length of the adjusting slider 33, and the width of the sample 5 is greater than the length of the clamping block 31. At this time, there is a gap between the side wall of the adjusting slider 33 facing the sample 5 and the mating block 312, so as to avoid direct collision between the adjusting slider 33 and the mating block 312 when the adjusting cylinder 42 applies the compressive force, which would cause damage. When the sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional pressure, it deforms, and the adjusting slider 33 and the two clamping blocks 31 have a displacement distance.

[0044] When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to shear force, the width of the sample 5 is greater than the length of the clamping block 31. The adjusting slider 33 is moved to separate it from the clamping block 31. The telescopic cylinder 6 and the adjusting cylinder 42 are adjusted to make the clamping block 31, the adjusting slider 33 and the sample 5 come into contact. When the sample 5 may deform under shear force, the adjusting slider 33 has a displacement distance.

[0045] The loading platform 2 also includes a slide rod 22. The adjustment box 21 has an adjustment cavity 211. The adjustment cavity 211 extends outward from both sides and passes through the mounting cavity. The mounting cavity and the adjustment cavity 211 are connected. The two slide rods 22 are fixedly installed on both sides inside the adjustment box 21. The two slide rods 22 are parallel and located below the placement platform 7. The slide rods 22 are slidably connected to the lower part of the clamping assembly 3. The two side walls of the adjustment box 21 are fixedly installed with racks 23. The racks 23 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the racks 23. The guide rails 24 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the racks 23.

[0046] The length of the adjusting slider 33 is greater than that of the locking slider 32. The lower part of the fixing plate 35 extends downward. Sliding holes are opened on both sides of the fixing plate 35. The two sliding holes are slidably engaged with the two sliding rods 22 respectively. The other side of the fixing plate 35 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 6. The fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 6 is fixedly installed in the mounting cavity at the end of the adjusting box 21.

[0047] A guide groove 411 is fixedly provided on the side of the connecting block 41 away from the sample 5, and a vertical plate is fixedly provided on the other side. An adjusting cylinder 42 is installed on the vertical plate. The telescopic end of the adjusting cylinder 42 passes through the vertical plate and is fixedly connected to the moving block 43. The moving block 43 is slidably connected to the adjusting block 46. The two sides of the moving block 43 abut against the sides of the adjusting block 46 through springs. A guide rod 47 is fixedly provided in the middle of the moving block 43. The two ends of the guide rod 47 extend outward and pass through the adjusting block 46, and slide with the two sides of the adjusting block 46. A guide block 461 is fixedly provided on the side of the adjusting block 46 facing the adjusting slider 33. The guide block 461 slides with the moving groove 332 on the adjusting slider 33. When the connecting block 41 drives the adjusting block 46 to move at a certain speed and contact the end of the moving groove 332, the spring deforms and absorbs the impact force of the adjusting block 46 to avoid equipment damage.

[0048] A driving component 45 is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting block 41. The driving component 45 is connected to the gear 44 and drives the gear 44 to rotate. The rack 23 is meshed with the gear 44. The rotation of the gear 44 drives the connecting block 41 to move along the guide rail 24, thereby adjusting the relative position of the side support assembly 4 and the sample 5.

[0049] When the adjusting block 46 moves the adjusting slider 33, the rotating gear 44 drives the connecting block 41, adjusting cylinder 42, moving block 43 and adjusting block 46 to move along the moving groove 332 on the adjusting slider 33 to a position near the end, thereby moving the adjusting slider 33 and adjusting the relative displacement between the adjusting slider 33 and the clamping block 31.

[0050] When the clamping assembly 3 and the side support assembly 4 clamp the sample 5, the lifting cylinder 8 is adjusted to extend its telescopic end, causing the placement platform 7 to rise. After the sample 5 is placed on the surface of the placement platform 7, the lifting cylinder 8 is adjusted in the opposite direction to descend to a suitable position according to the size of the sample 5. According to the test requirements, the clamping block 31 and the adjusting slider 33 are first adjusted to connect or separate. If the sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force or shear force, the slider 33 is first adjusted to separate from the clamping block 31. If the sample 5 is subjected to tensile force, the clamping block 31 and the adjusting slider 33 are adjusted to slide together. Then the telescopic cylinder 6 and the adjusting cylinder 42 are adjusted to make the clamping block 31, the adjusting slider 33 and the sample 5 come into contact.

[0051] When the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotating pressure plate 34 is located on the end of the mating rod 311 away from the sample 5, and the rotating pressure plate 34 is perpendicular to the locking slider 32. The adjusting slider 33 is separated from the clamping block 31. The two adjusting sliders 33 are moved to align, and the two adjusting sliders 33 and the two clamping blocks 31 are arranged in a rectangle. At this time, the axes of the two adjusting cylinders 42 are collinear. The telescopic cylinder 6 applies a squeezing force to the sample 5. At the same time, the adjusting cylinders 42 in the two side support assemblies 4 apply pressure to the sample 5.

[0052] When the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to shear force, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotating pressure plate 34 is located on the end of the mating rod 311 away from the sample 5, and the rotating pressure plate 34 is set perpendicular to the locking slider 32. The adjusting slider 33 is separated from the clamping block 31. The two adjusting sliders 33 are moved to both sides of the sample 5 respectively, and the two adjusting sliders 33 are staggered. The two adjusting blocks 46 are adjusted to be located at both ends of the sample 5 and at equal distances from the center line of the sample 5, so that the pressure directions applied by the two adjusting cylinders 42 to the sample 5 are staggered. The extension of the telescopic cylinder 6 is adjusted to remain unchanged after reaching the set length. At least one adjusting cylinder 42 is adjusted to apply the extrusion force.

[0053] When the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to tensile force, such as Figure 9As shown, adjust the rotating pressure plate 34 to rotate until it is parallel to the locking slider 32, and adjust the locking slider 32 to approach the sample 5 until the rotating pressure plate 34 abuts against the sample 5; adjust the slider 33 to slide and connect with the clamping block 31, adjust the two adjusting sliders 33 so that their opposite ends are opposite to the rotating pressure plate 34, move the adjusting block 46 to the end of the adjusting slider 33 that abuts against the sample 5, and apply a set pressure to the sample 5 with the adjusting cylinder 42 and the locking cylinder 38 so that the locking slider 32 and the adjusting slider 33 cooperate to clamp the sample 5; the telescopic cylinder 6 applies a pulling force to the sample 5.

[0054] An in-situ mechanical testing method for a nanoindentation system, applied to an in-situ mechanical testing device for a nanoindentation system, includes the following steps:

[0055] S1: According to the size of the sample 5, adjust the extension end of the lifting cylinder 8 to drive the placement platform 7 to rise. After placing the sample 5 on the surface of the placement platform 7, adjust the lifting cylinder 8 in the opposite direction to lower the placement platform 7 to the appropriate position.

[0056] S2: According to the test requirements, adjust the connection or separation of the clamping block 31 and the adjusting slider 33. If the simulated sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force or shear force, move the adjusting slider 33 to separate from the clamping block 31; if the simulated sample 5 is subjected to tensile force, adjust the adjusting slider 33 to slide and connect with the clamping block 31; adjust the telescopic cylinder 6 to make the clamping block 31 abut against the sample 5.

[0057] S3: Based on the in-situ mechanical test of the mechanical performance parameters of the simulated specimen 5 under stress, the rotating pressure plate 34 and the adjusting slider 33 are adjusted to the corresponding positions respectively; when the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force, the adjusting cylinders 42 in the two side support components 4 are set opposite to each other; when the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to shear force, the compressive force applied to the specimen 5 by the two adjusting cylinders 42 is staggered; when the simulated specimen 5 is subjected to tensile force, the adjusting cylinder 42 is located at the end where the adjusting slider 33 abuts against the specimen 5.

[0058] S31: When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to bidirectional compressive force, the rotating pressure plate 34 is in a vertical position on the end of the mating rod 311 away from the sample 5, and the two adjusting sliders 33 move to align and abut against the two sides of the sample 5 respectively.

[0059] S32: When the simulated sample 5 is subjected to shear force, the rotating pressure plate 34 is in a vertical position on the end of the mating rod 311 away from the sample 5.
