[0029] The speed sensor 6 detects the speed of the impact blade and calculates the impact force.

[0030] The impact baffle 11 is provided with an impact hole opposite to the impact blade 2, so that the impact blade 2 can pass through the impact baffle 11 and impact the test pipe 7. A plurality of buffer columns 18 are also installed on the top of the impact baffle 11. The buffer columns 18 are made of rubber or polyurethane and have good elasticity. The buffer columns 18 are arranged opposite to the lifting plate 31 to achieve impact buffering.

[0031] The lifting device is not shown in the figure, and the lifting device includes a motor, a chain, a driven sprocket, a driving sprocket and a lifting seat. The motor is fixed on the top plate of the frame 10 and is equipped with a driving chain. The driven sprocket is installed on the top of the impact partition 11 through a bearing seat. The chains are respectively sleeved on the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket. The lifting seat is fixed on the chain and is located below the lifting plate 31. When the motor rotates forward, the lifting seat abuts against the bottom of the lifting plate 31, driving the lifting plate 31 to rise until the retaining rod 22 is inserted into the locking device, and then the motor reverses to make the lifting seat drop to the top of the impact partition 11 and be located below the buffer column 18, which is convenient for the free fall of the lifting plate 31.

[0032] The locking device includes a locking plate 42 and a locking spring. One end of the locking plate 42 is rotatably mounted on the retaining plate 12, and two locking plates 42 are symmetrically provided.

The releasing cylinder 41 pushes the releasing cone head 411 to be inserted into the releasing groove 422. The releasing cone head 411 opens the locking plate 42, and the locking groove 421 leaves the retaining groove 23, releasing the impact blade 2, and the impact blade 2 and the lifting plate 31 perform free fall motion.

[0034] In order to ensure the impact force, a counterweight plate 32 is also included. The counterweight plate 32 is an annular plate. The counterweight plate 32 is installed on the top of the lifting plate 31 so that the impact blade 2 reaches a set weight, which facilitates the processing of the impact blade 2.

[0035] In order to increase the initial velocity of the impact blade 2, an increasing device is also included. The increasing device is installed on the frame 10 and is arranged opposite to the lifting plate 31, which is used to increase the initial velocity of the impact blade 2. The increasing device includes a speed regulating sleeve 52, an increasing rod 51 and an increasing spring.

The speed regulating sleeve 52 is used to adjust the elastic force of the increasing spring, thereby realizing the adjustment of the initial velocity of the impact blade 2.

[0036] It also includes an elastic tube 8 and a pressure-maintaining device. The elastic tube 8 is installed inside the test pipe 7 to keep the required pressure inside the test pipe 7; the pressure-maintaining device is connected to the elastic tube 8 to keep the pressure in the elastic tube 8. The elastic tube 8 can be a rubber tube. The rubber tube is pressurized, and even if cracks occur in the pipeline, the resistance to rapid crack growth can be measured without losing the internal pressure of the pipeline. The pressure-maintaining device is a high-pressure gas source, which inflates the rubber tube until the set pressure is reached inside the rubber tube.

[0037] In order to further verify the measurement results at different temperatures, a temperature control device is also included, which is installed on the rack 10 and is used to keep the inside of the rack 10 at a set temperature. An insulation layer may be installed on the rack 10. The temperature control device includes a heating pipe, a refrigeration system, and a fan to achieve high and low temperature regulation.

[0038] The test pipe 7 is clamped by a clamp, and the clamp is installed on the bottom plate of the frame 10. The test pipe 7 is provided with an impact groove 71 matching the impact cutter head 21. The clamp adopts a V-shaped block, and two V-shaped blocks are combined to clamp the test pipe 7, which can provide reliable clamping and ensure that the impact groove 71 is coaxial with the impact cutter head 21.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, a plurality of conductive paint strips 9 are provided on the test pipe 7. The conductive paint strips 9 are perpendicular to the axial direction of the test pipe 7, and a plurality of conductive paint strips 9 are provided along the axial direction. Both ends of the conductive paint strips 9 are connected to the detection equipment through joints. The detection equipment is used to pass voltage and realize the fracture detection of the conductive paint strips 9 through current, and then calculate the crack propagation speed according to the distance between the conductive paint strips 9 and the impact groove 71. When the test pipe 7 cracks, the conductive paint strips 9 are also disconnected, resulting in a short circuit in the conductive paint strips 9. As the crack develops, the pre-set plurality of conductive paint strips are interrupted in turn, the interruption time of each conductive paint strip is measured, and the crack propagation speed is calculated using the distance between each conductive paint strip.

[0040] During the test, the motor first drives the lifting seat to rise through the chain, and the lifting seat first abuts against the bottom of the lifting plate 31, and then drives the lifting plate 31 to rise until the retaining rod 22 is inserted into the locking groove 421, and the locking groove 421 is stuck on the retaining groove 23, locking the position of the impact blade 2, and then the motor is reversed to make the lifting seat drop to the top of the impact partition 11 and be located below the buffer column 18. Install the test pipe 7, and make the impact groove of the test pipe 7 face the impact blade 2, and then install the elastic tube 8 into the test pipe 7, and be located on one side of the impact groove, avoiding the impact hammer to prevent damage to the elastic tube 8, connect the elastic tube 8 to the pressure holding device, and inflate the elastic tube 8 to make the elastic tube 8 reach the set pressure. Then start the release cylinder 41, which pushes the release cone head 411 to insert into the release groove 422. The release cone head 411 opens the locking plate 42, and the locking groove 421 leaves the retaining groove 23, releasing the impact blade 2. The impact blade 2 and the lifting plate 31 perform free fall motion until they are inserted into the impact groove of the test pipe 7, and the test pipe 7 starts to spread cracks from the impact groove.

[0041] As the crack develops, several pre-set conductive paints are interrupted in turn, the interruption time of each conductive paint is measured, and the crack growth rate is calculated using the distance between each conductive paint.

[0042] By utilizing the free fall of the impact blade 2, the impact is applied to the outside of the test pipe 7. The speed of the impact blade 2 during the impact can be measured by the speed sensor 6, thereby accurately calculating the impact energy.

[0043] By changing the impact energy, the experiment was conducted to observe the change of the impact energy on the resistance to rapid crack progression. Not only the impact height of the impact blade 2 can be adjusted, but also the initial speed of the free fall of the impact blade 2 can be changed by using the spring installed on the top, thereby changing the impact energy.

[0044] The overall structure is simple, the control is convenient, the test safety is high, and the initial speed can be controlled by the speed increasing spring.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the crack propagation velocity of the test pipe can be obtained through experiments.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the critical internal pressure at different temperatures, or the critical temperature at different internal pressures, can be obtained through experiments.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, the safe area and dangerous area in the internal pressure and temperature table can be calculated through experiments.

[0048] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
