[0031] The main functions of this utility model testing machine are as follows:
[0032] 1. Plastic pallet test
[0033] Stacking test, bending strength test, lower deck strength test, and uniform load strength test (airbags are required);
[0034] 2 Intermodal Universal Flat Pallet Test
[0035] Stacking test, bending test, wing pallet test, bottom decking test;
[0036] 4. ISO8611 Pallets for transporting goods
[0037] Bending test, fork lifting test, pad or longitudinal beam compression test, stacking test, bottom deck bending test, wing pallet bending test, airbag bending test
[0038] 5. Can measure 4 displacements simultaneously
[0039] Four external displacement measurement sensors can measure the displacement changes of four points simultaneously.
[0040] The following is an introduction to one function of the utility model using a bending test. Figure 3 As shown, the purpose of the tests is to determine the flexural strength (test 1a) and flexural stiffness (test 1b) of the pallet under rack access conditions.
[0041] 1. Use one pallet to test in its length direction and measure its deflection value. Use another pallet to test in its width direction and measure its deflection value. The direction with the larger deflection value is the direction with the lower support stiffness of the pallet. Unless the difference between the deflection values in the above two directions is less than 15% of the larger of the two deflection values, the next step of the test only needs to be carried out in the direction with the lower support stiffness of the pallet.
[0042] 2. Replace a new pallet with the top board facing upward and across the support. The support is supported in the direction of low rigidity of the pallet, and the inner side of the support is 75mm away from the outer edge of the pallet. The center of the loading rod is 0.18L1 or 0.18L2 away from the inner side of the support. L1 (L2) is the inner distance between the two supports in the length (width) direction of the pallet.
[0043] 3. The loading rod and support should be flush with the outer edge of the pallet or extend beyond the outer edge of the pallet. The outer edge of the pallet should be processed with a radius of 2mm±1mm. If the loading rod is located at the gap of the pallet deck, a deck with the same thickness as the deck should be inserted at the corresponding gap position, and the spacing between the decks is 3mm~6mm. Place the loading rod and loading board on the pallet deck, and then apply the remaining test load.
[0044] 4. Bending strength 1a:
[0045] Load on the loading plate until a component of the pallet breaks or produces excessive deformation or deflection, and record the ultimate load value U as the bending strength of the pallet under shelf access conditions.
[0046] 5. Flexural rigidity 1b:
[0047] Take (1.5±0.5)% of the limit load value determined in test 1a as the reference load, determine the full load in accordance with Table 1 of GB / T 4995-2014, generally take 50% of the limit load U as the full load, and record the y value (the standard stipulates that 2 edges and 1 middle point should be taken). The y value is recorded at the following times: a) when the reference load is added; b) when the full load is added; c) when the full load ends; d) when the unloading ends.
[0048] The above is a description of the embodiments of the utility model. Through the above description of the disclosed embodiments, professionals and technicians in the field can implement or use the utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to professionals and technicians in the field. The general principles defined in this article can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the utility model. Therefore, the utility model will not be limited to these embodiments shown in this article, but will conform to the widest range consistent with the principles and novelties disclosed in this article.
