[0021] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-8This embodiment provides a moving coil frequency adjustment device, including a dial 5, a solid mass block 7, a hollow mass block 8, and an upper pressure cover 9. The solid mass block 7 and the hollow mass block 8 are fixed between the upper pressure cover 9 and the dial 5. A convex ring 12 is provided on the dial 5. An arc groove 22 is provided at the bottom of both the solid mass block 7 and the hollow mass block 8, and the convex ring 12 is embedded in the arc groove 22.

[0022] Solid mass block 7 and hollow mass block 8 are both arc-shaped mass blocks.

[0023] The outer ring of the dial 5 has a circular scale 13.

[0024] The hollow mass block 8 includes a base box 81 and a cover 82, and the base box 81 is provided with a placement cavity 83.

[0025] The bottom box 81 is provided with a first fixing hole 84, and the box cover 82 is provided with a second fixing hole 85. The positions of the first fixing hole 84 and the second fixing hole 85 are corresponding.

[0026] The bottom box 81 and the cover 82 are fixed together by bolting the first fixing hole 84 and the second fixing hole 85.

[0027] The dial 5 is provided with a first connecting hole 51, and the upper pressure cover 9 is provided with a second connecting hole 91. The dial 5 and the upper pressure cover 9 are connected by a support rod 6.

[0028] The second connecting hole 91 is arranged in pairs near the inner and outer rings of the upper pressure cover 9, and the first connecting hole 51 is also arranged in pairs near the inner and outer rings of the dial 5.

[0029] The two ends of the support rod 6 are connected through the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 91, respectively.

[0030] The upper pressure cover 9 has a series of threaded holes 92 arranged along the circumferential direction. Clamping bolts 11 are installed in the threaded holes 92 to press and fix the upper pressure cover 9. Locking nuts 10 are installed on the clamping bolts 11.

[0031] The dial 5 is provided with a mounting hole 52, and the dial 5 is connected to the moving coil 14 through the mounting hole 52. The dial 5 and the moving coil 14 are connected by a support column 15.

[0032] It also includes a vibration table 1, on which a moving coil 14 is installed, on which a moving coil frequency adjustment device 2 is installed, on which a simulated sample 4 is installed, and on which a data acquisition and control system 3 is installed above the simulated sample 4.

[0033] The working principle and mechanism of the data acquisition and control system 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Specifically, the fatigue testing system provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 5As shown, the system consists of four parts: 1. a vibration table, 2. a moving coil frequency adjustment device, 3. a data acquisition and control system, and 4. a simulated sample. The overall experimental strategy is as follows: the simulated sample 4 is installed on the vibration table 1, and vibration stress is applied by the vibration table. The moving coil frequency adjustment device 2 adjusts the coupling between the moving coil resonant frequency and the simulated sample 4 resonant frequency. The data acquisition and control system 3 collects and processes the vibration parameters to carry out the experiment.

[0035] The moving coil frequency adjustment device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The dial 5 is directly mounted on the moving coil of the vibration table 1. The entire device consists of 8 height support rods 6 with threads at both ends, connected to the dial 5 and the upper pressure cover 9 respectively. The hollow mass block 7 or the solid mass block 8 has an arc-shaped groove at the bottom, which is matched with the boss limit 12 on the dial (as shown). Figure 2 (As shown) This system, in conjunction with other components, ensures accurate positioning of the counterweight, guaranteeing consistent radial placement while allowing for arbitrary adjustment of the counterweight's position on a designated circular track. Furthermore, a ring of angle graduations 13 on the dial 5 allows for quantified angle adjustments during counterweight placement, facilitating data analysis and comparison, and enabling adjustments to the size and distribution of the counterweight throughout the device. After the counterweight is positioned, the locking nut 10 is tightened onto the clamping bolt 11, which is connected to the upper cover plate 9 via threaded holes 92. Sufficient clamping force is applied to the counterweight before tightening the locking nut to ensure the stability of the entire system.

[0036] Example 2 The fatigue testing method based on the aforementioned moving coil frequency adjustment device provided by this invention is described below: Obtain the test sample, attach strain gauges for calibration, determine the required vibration level for the stress, perform a frequency sweep test to identify the approximate frequency range, install the moving coil frequency adjustment device, adjust the mass block to change its size and distribution so that the resonant frequency is close to the sample's resonant frequency, continue to observe the vibration response, fill the hollow mass block with sand to change the overall damping and thus adjust the amplification factor so that the vibration level meets the requirements, and then conduct the test. The test procedure is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0037] Down Figure 7 , Figure 8The figure shows a comparison of actual data before and after the sample resonant frequency and amplification factor were adjusted using this system. As shown in the figure, by adjusting the counterweight and mass block position of this device, the first-order resonant frequency of the original system at about 400Hz was adjusted to about 200Hz. The frequency peak at about 400Hz was effectively reduced after the adjustment. The original amplification factor Q was about 100, and the amplification factor Q at the second-order resonant frequency at 400Hz was reduced to about 20 after the adjustment, which meets the numerical requirements of the test for resonant frequency and amplification factor, thus enabling the test to be carried out effectively.

[0038] This invention proposes a novel testing method: amplifying the experimental magnitude of the test component by achieving resonance after coupling the sample with the moving coil during vibration table excitation. There are two main approaches: the first involves creating an amplification fixture to achieve resonance. However, in practice, it has been found that once the fixture is manufactured, its natural frequency is fixed, making it difficult to perfectly couple the fixture's natural frequency with the sample's natural frequency. Even if some fixtures can be frequency-adjustable by modifying their structure, it's difficult to ensure that the fixture's installation state matches the actual installation state. The second approach, as proposed in this invention, is to amplify the experimental magnitude by changing the natural frequency of the vibration table's moving coil to couple with the sample's natural frequency. This method has the following advantages: firstly, the moving coil is relatively large, allowing for greater flexibility in creating the moving coil frequency adjustment device; secondly, it does not alter the sample's installation state, ensuring the reliability of the test.

[0039] According to the formula for calculating the first-order natural frequency: Where f represents the first natural frequency, k represents the stiffness of the structure, and m represents the mass of the structure.

[0040] Based on the above formula, changing the natural frequency of the moving coil is mainly achieved by altering the overall stiffness or mass of the structure. Accordingly, this invention proposes a moving coil frequency adjustment device, which involves attaching a solid mass block or a hollow mass block filled with sand to the moving coil as follows: Figure 1 This alters the overall stiffness and mass of the system, and the weight of the sand used in filling changes the amplification factor in the damping-adjusted resonant state. Furthermore, a dial on the device allows for precise adjustment of the overall mass distribution, thereby changing the overall natural frequency.

[0041] The innovations of this invention are: 1. Proposing a novel experimental method that utilizes resonance to amplify the vibration magnitude and overcome the conventional thrust limitations of a vibration table. 2. The moving coil frequency adjustment device is easy to use and can adapt to samples with various appearances, sizes, and installation methods, thus improving experimental efficiency.

[0042] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
