Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to magnetostrictive performance testing device technical field, especially to a kind of variable temperature magnetostrictive measurement device of pre-stress can be applied. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnetostrictive material is widely used in sensors, actuators and transformer devices due to its dimensional change under the action of an applied magnetic field. Existing magnetostrictive measurement devices are mainly used for measurement in a single variable environment, such as stress loading at constant temperature or temperature gradient application without external stress. In stress loading devices, the structure is generally composed of a support, a measurement coil, a laser displacement measurement module, a stress application module, etc. The support part includes a shock-absorbing base, a measurement coil for placing the sample to be tested, a rear clamping device, etc.; the stress application module includes a force application module and a force display module to apply tension or pressure to the actual working environment of the device.

The internal structure of the measurement coil chamber is composed of a base frame, a ceramic heating sheet base frame, a ceramic heating sheet, a temperature sensor and a measurement coil skeleton.

[0003] Existing magnetostrictive measurement devices can only perform performance testing in a single physical field (such as stress or temperature), and cannot achieve measurement under the coupling effect of temperature and stress. Stress loading devices are mainly used to simulate the tensile stress or compressive stress that the transformer core yoke is subjected to when it is fixed by clamps, bolts and other fasteners, and cannot reflect the influence of temperature gradient on magnetostrictive performance; although the temperature control device can simulate the working conditions of electrical steel in a non-uniform temperature field, it lacks stress loading means and is difficult to reproduce actual service conditions. The application scenarios of the above devices are limited, and the test results are difficult to comprehensively evaluate the performance of materials, especially rare earth super magnetostrictive materials, under the coupling effect of multiple fields.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The variable temperature magnetostrictive measurement device capable of applying pre-stress of the application is shown in Figure 1 , mainly composed of a magnet 1, a loading indenter 2, a variable temperature chamber 3, a stage 4, an air pump 5 and a computer 6.

[0025] In the aspect of magnetostrictive measurement, a vertical and constant magnetic field is applied from bottom to top by the magnet 1, and a stress sheet is pasted on the surface of the sample to be measured 31, and the stress sheet is connected with the computer 6 by a lead wire, so as to collect and analyze the strain of the sample under the action of the magnetic field in real time, and evaluate the magnetostrictive performance.

[0026] In the aspect of applying pre-stress, the stage 4 is driven to rise by the air pump 5, so that the sample to be measured 31 in the variable temperature chamber 3 contacts with the loading indenter 2. The loading indenter 2 is a solid cylinder with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 2.5 cm, and the bottom area is larger than the contact surface with the sample to be measured 31, which can ensure uniform stress transmission during loading. By adjusting the lifting amplitude of the air pump 5, pre-stress loading of different sizes can be realized.

[0027] In the aspect of variable temperature, the sectional view and top view of the internal structure of the variable temperature chamber 3 are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3The temperature-variable chamber 3 mainly consists of an air inlet 32, an insulation layer 34, an S-type thermocouple 35, a Cr-Ni heating plate 36, and an air outlet 39. In this test case, the sample 31 to be tested is a rare earth material semi-cylinder with a diameter of 0.6 cm and a height of 1.2 cm. The insulation layer 34 is 10×10×3.8 cm in size. 3 The rectangular opening structure uses composite insulation materials to ensure stable temperature within the chamber during measurement. An air inlet 32 ​​and an air outlet 39, each with a diameter of 1 cm, are machined into the left and right walls of the insulation layer 34 for the introduction and discharge of liquid nitrogen, forming a temperature-controllable flow circuit for effective cooling, allowing the temperature within the chamber to drop to as low as -120°C. The heating plate 36 is made of a Cr-Ni alloy with a diameter of 5 cm and a height of 2.5 cm and is placed close to the inner wall of the insulation layer. This heater has excellent thermal stability and can provide a high-temperature environment of up to 300°C. An S-type thermocouple 35 is located inside the heating plate 36 to monitor temperature changes within the chamber in real time. Based on temperature feedback information, the heating and cooling rates can be precisely controlled, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results. In addition, a clamping structure for securing the sample is provided within the variable temperature chamber. This clamping structure primarily consists of a base 38, a rear baffle 37, and a front baffle 311. A threaded hole 33 with a diameter of 3 mm is drilled in the center of the front baffle 311, which is used to fix the sample to be tested with the hexagon socket screw 310.

[0028] The temperature-dependent magnetostrictive measurement device designed in this paper, capable of applying prestress, significantly enhances the ability to test magnetostrictive materials under complex loading conditions. It is particularly suitable for multi-field coupling experiments requiring simultaneous stress and temperature loading. Compared to existing magnetostrictive testing systems that can only adjust either the magnetic field or the temperature independently, this device achieves efficient switching and stable loading through an integrated structure, effectively improving the reliability of measurement data.

[0029] In terms of temperature control precision, the accompanying thermocouples provide real-time monitoring, and the Cr-Ni heating plate achieves a heating rate of up to 10°C / min, with temperature fluctuations controlled within ±0.5°C. After liquid nitrogen cooling, the lowest temperature measured can reach -120°C, covering the main operating temperature range of rare earth magnetostrictive materials in practical applications. In terms of stress loading, continuous loading within the range of 0 to 20 MPa can be achieved by regulating the air pump's lift and fall, with a loading error of less than 1%, effectively simulating actual prestressed working conditions.

[0030] In experimental verification, this device tested the magnetostrictive properties of a TbDyFe rare-earth magnetostrictive alloy under different temperatures and prestress conditions. This has important application value in revealing the synergistic mechanism of rare-earth giant magnetostrictive materials under the influence of magnetic field, temperature, and stress. Furthermore, the present invention offers advantages such as easy installation and disassembly, simple operation, low user barriers, and minimal human error.
