Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical property testing technology for aluminum alloy welded pipes, and in particular to a device and method for testing the crack resistance of aluminum alloy welded pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy welded pipes are widely used in aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-pressure gas transportation due to their advantages such as lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. The crack resistance of the welded joint area is a key indicator for evaluating the quality of welded pipes and ensuring structural safety; therefore, developing efficient crack resistance testing devices is crucial.
[0003] Currently, most existing devices for testing the crack resistance of aluminum alloy welded pipes are based on the traditional circumferential cutting or flattening test principles. Their basic structure typically includes a rigid frame, a pair of clamping dies (usually V-shaped or flat) for holding or supporting the welded pipe sample, and a hydraulically or servo-motor driven loading mechanism. The principle is to apply a radial load to the clamping dies through the loading mechanism, causing radial deformation of the welded pipe sample until cracking occurs at its weld joint. The crack resistance is then qualitatively or semi-quantitatively assessed by recording the maximum load or observing the crack morphology.
[0004] However, existing crack resistance testing devices rely on unidirectional or bidirectional loading methods, which can lead to uneven stress distribution and fail to expose the weakest link in the welded pipe, thus reducing the reliability of the test. Summary of the Invention

[0027] This invention provides a device for testing the crack resistance of aluminum alloy welded pipes, comprising a worktable 101, a fixed clamping seat 102, a sliding guide rail 103, a sliding clamping seat 104, and a loading mechanism. The loading mechanism includes a frame 105, a drive assembly, a sliding seat, a hydraulic cylinder 106, a ring mounting frame, multiple electric push rods 107, multiple force application blocks 108, a connecting arm 109, and an industrial camera 110. The sliding seat includes a base 111, two connecting plates 112, and two sliding plates 113. The drive assembly includes a servo motor 114, a threaded rod 115, and a ball screw and nut assembly 116. The ring mounting frame includes a connecting block 117 and a regular hexagonal frame 118. This solution addresses the problem in existing crack resistance testing devices where unidirectional or bidirectional loading leads to uneven stress distribution, failing to expose the weakest point of the welded pipe and reducing testing reliability. Therefore, this solution can be applied to the structure of a crack resistance testing device for aluminum alloy welded pipes.
[0028] In this specific embodiment, a fixed clamping seat 102 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the workbench 101, and a sliding guide rail 103 is installed at the other end of the upper surface of the workbench 101. A sliding clamping seat 104 is slidably installed on the sliding guide rail 103, and a locking bolt 119 is provided on the sliding clamping seat 104. A plurality of locking holes 120 are provided on the sliding guide rail 103. By setting up the sliding guide rail 103 and the sliding clamping seat 104, it is possible to clamp aluminum alloy welded pipes of different lengths to be tested, which is more applicable. Furthermore, by setting up the locking bolt 119 and the locking holes 120, the sliding clamping seat 104 can be fixed.
[0029] The frame 105 is mounted on the top of the workbench 101. A sliding seat is slidably disposed at the bottom of the top of the frame 105. A drive assembly is disposed inside the top of the frame 105, and the output end of the drive assembly is connected to the sliding seat. A hydraulic cylinder 106 is disposed at the bottom of the sliding seat, and an annular mounting frame is mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 106. A plurality of electric push rods 107 are evenly disposed around the annular mounting frame, and a force-applying block 108 is disposed at the output end of each electric push rod 107. The plurality of force-applying blocks 108 are evenly distributed around the aluminum alloy welded pipe to be tested. One end of the connecting arm 109 is connected to the bottom of the annular mounting frame, and the other end of the connecting arm 109 is disposed with an industrial camera 110. The shooting end of the industrial camera 110 corresponds to the weld seam of the aluminum alloy welded pipe to be tested. The drive assembly controls the sliding seat to slide, so that the annular mounting frame moves to the middle of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. The hydraulic cylinder 106 adjusts the... The height of the annular mounting bracket is such that its center matches the axial direction of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. Multiple electric push rods 107 are simultaneously activated, causing the force-applying blocks 108 at their output ends to move synchronously towards the center of the sample until they contact and pre-compress the outer wall of the sample. Subsequently, the electric push rods 107 continue to output synchronously, applying a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample. When multiple electric push rods 107 simultaneously apply a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample, the output load and displacement data of each electric push rod 107 are recorded. A video image of the weld area is captured in real-time by the industrial camera 110. When a crack is detected in the weld area in the video image captured in real-time by the industrial camera 110, the load and displacement values of the electric push rods 107 at this time are recorded, completing the test of the sample's crack resistance. Using the above structure, the synchronous application of force by multiple electric push rods 107 arranged in a ring achieves uniform radial compression of the welded pipe, resulting in a more reasonable stress distribution, accurately exposing the weakest point of the weld, and providing more comprehensive and reliable test results.
[0030] Secondly, both sides of the top of the frame 105 are provided with sliding grooves 121, and both sides of the base 111 are fixedly provided with connecting plates 112. Each connecting plate 112 is provided with a sliding plate 113 at the end away from the base 111. The sliding plate 113 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 121. Through the arrangement of the sliding plate 113 and the sliding groove 121, the sliding seat can slide at the top of the frame 105.
[0031] Meanwhile, the servo motor 114 is mounted on one side of the top of the frame 105, and the threaded rod 115 is mounted inside the top of the frame 105. The output end of the servo motor 114 is connected to the threaded rod 115. A ball screw nut assembly 116 is provided on the threaded rod 115, and the ball screw nut assembly 116 is connected to the sliding seat. When the servo motor 114 is started, it drives the threaded rod 115 to rotate. Since the ball screw nut assembly 116 is connected to the sliding seat, it drives the… The sliding seat rotates at the top of the frame 105, and both ends of the threaded rod 115 are provided with rotating heads 122. Rotating bearings 123 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 105. The rotating heads 122 are embedded in the interior of the corresponding rotating bearings 123. The output end of the servo motor 114 is connected to the corresponding rotating head 122. Through the arrangement of the rotating heads 122 and the rotating bearings 123, the threaded rod 115 rotates more smoothly inside the top of the frame 105.
[0032] In addition, a connecting block 117 is fixedly provided at the top of the regular hexagonal frame 118. The connecting block 117 is perpendicular to the regular hexagonal frame 118. The end of the connecting block 117 away from the regular hexagonal frame 118 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 106. Each side of the regular hexagonal frame 118 is provided with an electric push rod 107. Through the arrangement of the regular hexagonal frame 118 and the six electric push rods 107, the radial load applied to the aluminum alloy welded pipe is more uniform.
[0033] Furthermore, a fixing block 124 is provided at one end of the connecting arm 109 near the annular mounting frame, and a mounting base 125 is provided at the other end of the connecting arm 109 away from the annular mounting frame. An inclined surface 126 is provided on the side of the mounting base 125 facing the center of the annular mounting frame. The industrial camera 110 is mounted on the inclined surface 126. The installation of the connecting arm 109 is completed by the setting of the fixing block 124. The setting of the inclined surface 126 enables the shooting end of the industrial camera 110 to better collect image information of the weld area at the stress point of the sample.
[0034] When using the aluminum alloy welded pipe crack resistance testing device of this embodiment, the sliding guide rail 103 and the sliding clamping seat 104 can be used to clamp aluminum alloy welded pipes of different lengths, making it more versatile. The locking bolt 119 and the locking hole 120 can be used to fix the sliding clamping seat 104. The driving assembly controls the sliding seat to move the annular mounting bracket to the center of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. The hydraulic cylinder 106 adjusts the height of the annular mounting bracket so that its center matches the axial direction of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. Simultaneously, multiple electric push rods 107 are activated, causing the force application blocks 108 at their output ends to move synchronously towards the center of the sample until they contact the outer wall of the sample. After pre-compression, the electric push rods 107 are controlled to continue synchronously outputting a uniformly increasing radial load on the sample. When multiple electric push rods 107 synchronously apply a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample, the output load and displacement data of each electric push rod 107 are recorded. The industrial camera 110 captures video images of the weld area in real time. When a crack is detected in the weld area in the video image captured in real time by the industrial camera 110, the load value and displacement value of the electric push rod 107 at this time are recorded to complete the test of the crack resistance of the sample. By adopting the above structure, the uniform radial compression of the welded pipe is achieved by synchronously applying force through multiple electric push rods 107 arranged in a ring. The stress distribution is more reasonable, and the weakest link of the weld can be truly exposed, resulting in more comprehensive and reliable test results.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, a protective plate 201 is provided at the bottom of the top of the frame 105, and a through groove 202 is provided on the sliding seat. The protective plate 201 passes through the through groove 202 and is located outside the threaded rod 115. By providing the protective plate 201, the threaded rod 115 is shielded, preventing excessive debris from the external environment from adhering to the threaded rod 115 and affecting the operation of the drive assembly.
[0038] The protective plate 201 has mounting blocks 203 on both sides. One end of the mounting block 203 is connected to the side of the protective plate 201, and the other end of the mounting block 203 is connected to the side of the top of the frame 105. The installation of the protective plate 201 is completed by setting the mounting blocks 203.
[0039] Secondly, the protective plate 201 and the through groove 202 are fitted with a clearance, which makes the sliding seat slide more smoothly when it slides on the protective plate 201.
[0040] When using the aluminum alloy welded pipe crack resistance testing device of this embodiment, the installation of the protective plate 201 is completed by setting the mounting block 203. The protective plate 201 shields the threaded rod 115, preventing excessive debris from the external environment from adhering to the threaded rod 115 and affecting the operation of the drive assembly.

Loading and alignment: The sliding seat is controlled to slide using the drive assembly, so that the annular mounting bracket moves to the middle of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. The height of the annular mounting bracket is adjusted using the hydraulic cylinder 106 so that the center of the annular mounting bracket matches the axial direction of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. S3. Multiphase synchronous loading: Simultaneously start multiple electric push rods 107, so that the force application blocks 108 at their output ends move synchronously toward the center of the sample until they contact the outer wall of the sample and are pre-pressed.

S6. Result Output: When cracks appear in the weld area of the specimen, the load value and displacement value of the electric push rod 107 recorded are output as quantitative indicators of the crack resistance performance of the specimen.
[0042] In this embodiment, the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample is first passed through the annular mounting bracket, and one end is placed at the fixed clamp 102 for fixation. The sliding clamp 104 is then slid until it aligns with the other end of the aluminum alloy welded pipe, thus fixing the other end of the sample. The locking bolt 119 further secures the sliding clamp 104. The drive assembly then controls the sliding of the sliding clamp, moving the annular mounting bracket to the center of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. The hydraulic cylinder 106 adjusts the height of the annular mounting bracket. The center of the annular mounting bracket is aligned with the axial direction of the aluminum alloy welded pipe sample. Then, multiple electric push rods 107 are simultaneously activated, causing the force application blocks 108 at their output ends to move synchronously toward the center of the sample until they contact and pre-press against the outer wall of the sample. Subsequently, the electric push rods 107 are controlled to continue to output synchronously, applying a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample. The industrial camera 110 captures video images of the weld area in real time, and simultaneously records the output load and displacement data of each electric push rod 107. Finally, when cracks appear in the weld area of the sample, the recorded load and displacement values of the electric push rods 107 are output as quantitative indicators of the crack resistance of the sample.

Multiphase synchronous loading: Multiple electric push rods are started synchronously, so that the force application blocks at their output ends move synchronously toward the center of the sample until they contact the outer wall of the sample and are pre-pressed. Then, the electric push rods are controlled to continue to output synchronously, applying a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample. Data acquisition: When multiple electric actuators simultaneously apply a uniformly increasing radial load to the sample, the output load and displacement data of each electric actuator are recorded, and video images of the weld area are captured in real time by the industrial camera; Crack critical point determination: When a crack is detected in the weld area in the video image captured in real time by the industrial camera, the load value and displacement value of the electric push rod at this time are recorded. Output results: When cracks appear in the weld area of the specimen, the recorded load and displacement values of the electric push rod are output as quantitative indicators of the specimen's crack resistance.
