Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of test alignment devices, in particular to a tube ring stiffness / flattening test point alignment device. Background Art

[0002] The national testing standards have clear provisions for the placement of ring stiffness / flattening test specimens.

[0003] Ring stiffness (ring bending stiffness) refers to the ability of polymer or polymer composite pipes (such as PE pipes, steel wire skeleton PE plastic composite pipes, HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes, etc.) to resist external pressure loads. When conducting a ring stiffness test, the specimen must comply with Article 8.2 of GB / T 9647-2015 "Determination of Ring Stiffness of Thermoplastic Pipes". "When placing the first specimen a, its marking line should be in contact with the upper plate. In the load device, the placement positions of the other two specimens b and c should be rotated 120° and 240° respectively relative to the first specimen.

[0004] When conducting the flattening test, place the sample between two parallel plates and use a press or other methods to evenly press it to the flattening distance specified in the relevant technical conditions (expressed in millimeters using the flattening distance of the outer wall or the inner wall of the pipe). Check the bending and deformation of the sample. If there are no cracks, cracks or weld cracks, it is considered qualified. Article 7.7.2 of CJ / T 120-2016 "Plastic-coated Composite Steel Pipe for Water Supply" stipulates that "the weld of the plastic-coated steel pipe is perpendicular to the compression direction when flattened"; Article 8.5.2 of CJ / T 192-2017 "Lined Stainless Steel Composite Steel Pipe" stipulates that "the weld of the specimen should be located at 90° to the direction of force"; Article 5.6.1 of GB / T32958-2016 "Stainless Steel Composite Steel Pipe for Fluid Transportation" stipulates that "the weld is perpendicular to the load direction"; Article 6.3 of GB / T246-2017 "Stainless Steel Pipe Flattening Test Standard": The weld of the welded pipe should be placed in the position specified by the relevant product standards.

[0005] At present, in order to achieve the placement of the test piece in accordance with the standard requirements, there is a lack of professional tools and devices. Due to the different outer diameters of the test pieces and the different angles relative to the initial point, many auxiliary tools are used during the test. Sometimes, because the outer diameter of the test piece is too large or too small, the commonly used rulers, angle rulers, and levels cannot meet the requirements, which brings too much inconvenience to the actual operation, takes up a lot of valuable time of tools and testers, and also reduces the efficiency of the use of testing equipment. This utility model patent proposes a solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a pipe ring stiffness / flattening test point alignment device is provided, and the alignment device is preferably in the shape of a box body, including three laser sights and a calibration pointer 2. The calibration pointer 2 is located in the middle of the box body, with the finger tip pointing vertically downward relative to the bottom surface of the shell body. The bottom of the alignment device is an adsorption surface 5, which can be a magnetic surface as an example. The magnetic switch is connected to the magnetic surface and is arranged on the side of the box body. The bottom is hollow in the area relative to the calibration pointer 2, and the front and back of the box body form openings in the area relative to the needle tip of the calibration pointer 2. As an example, they can be fan-shaped openings to facilitate viewing whether the calibration pointer 2 coincides with the test piece 7; the needle tip of the calibration pointer 2 can contact the pressure plate, and the adsorption surface 5 at the bottom of the alignment device is also the contact surface with the pressure plate, so the adsorption surface 5 is flush with the needle tip. The transmitter head of the laser sight is arranged on the top of the alignment device, above the calibration pointer 2, and the switch of the laser sight is connected to the transmitter head and arranged on the front side of the box body. The three switches correspond to the three laser sights for control.

[0033] The three laser sights include a first sight transmitter head 301, a second sight transmitter head 302, and a third sight transmitter head 303; the first sight transmitter head 301 is between the second sight transmitter head 302 and the third sight transmitter head 303, the first sight transmitter head 301 is coaxial with the calibration pointer 2, and the direction is vertically outward relative to the top surface of the shell, and the directions of the second sight transmitter head 302 and the third sight transmitter head 303 are radially outward with the needle tip of the calibration pointer 2 as the center point. As an example, the horizontal angle between the second sight transmitter head 302 and the third sight transmitter head 303 and the vertical line of the first sight transmitter head 301 is fixed at 30°. So if Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the second aimer transmitting head 3 and the third aimer transmitting head 303 forms 60°, so that the marking point 10 and the contact points of the two light rays with the test piece 7 divide the tube annular surface into three equal parts, that is, the internal angle is divided into 120°.

[0034] The alignment device can be adsorbed on the upper pressing plate 8 or the lower pressing plate 9. When the contact point calibration pointer 2 is horizontally overlapped with the marking point 10 of the pipe test piece 7, since the alignment device has a certain thickness, when the test piece 7 is against the alignment device, the light emitted by the transmitter is still at a certain distance from the test piece 7 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the light will not directly intersect with the test piece 7. Therefore, the aiming device transmitting head 3 can be moved forward and backward, that is, the end of the aiming device transmitting head 3 that contacts the shell 1 does not move, ensuring that the horizontal angle does not change in the horizontal direction, and the end away from the shell 1 can be adjusted in the longitudinal front-to-back direction. The tilt angle can be adjusted so that the light can coincide with the marking point 10 of the test piece 7. Preferably, the longitudinal tilt angle is 3° to 6°.

[0035] When in use, align the marking point 10 of the test piece 7 with the calibration pointer 2, turn on the magnetic attraction, adsorb the device on the upper pressure plate 8 of the testing machine, press the laser aimer switch 4 to emit infrared rays, and move the emission head inward so that the light can intersect with the edge of the pipe test piece 7.

[0036] Based on the above structure, it is only necessary to mark a point on a single test piece 7, and to horizontally overlap the contact point of the calibration pointer 2 with the mark point 10 of the pipe test piece 7 to perform the first load test; then the test piece 7 is rotated so that the mark point 10 is rotated to overlap the light of the second aimer transmitting head 302. Figure 3 As shown, when the marking point 10 reaches B, the rotation angle reaches 120°, and the second load test is carried out; then the test piece 7 continues to be rotated until the marking point 10 is rotated to coincide with the light of the third aimer transmitter 303, and the marking point 10 reaches C, the rotation angle reaches 240°, and the third load test is carried out. In this way, the test piece 7 is pressed three times to meet the standard requirements of rotating 120° and 240° in sequence, and the standard test is completed.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] It is roughly the same as the above embodiment, except that the alignment device can also be used for load tests of multiple specimens. The pipe specimen 7 is a long tube, and a long line is drawn and marked along the long axis at one time. After cutting, multiple specimens are formed. The first specimen makes the marking point 10 coincide with the calibration pointer 2 for load test, the second specimen rotates the angle to coincide with the marking point 10 and the light of the second sighting device transmitting head 302, and then the load test is carried out, and the third specimen rotates the angle to coincide with the marking point 10 and the light of the third sighting device transmitting head 303, and then the load test is carried out; all of the above reach the specified measurement angle for pressure measurement, completing the standard test.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] It is substantially the same as the above embodiment, except that the alignment device is adsorbed on the lower pressure plate 9, and the horizontal angle between the second sighting head 302 and the third sighting head 303 and the vertical line of the first sighting head 301 is fixed at 45°. Figure 4 As shown, the light is made to coincide with the weld 11, and then a flattening test is carried out. Based on the above structure, the standard requirements such as "the weld of the plastic-coated steel pipe is perpendicular to the compression direction when flattened", "the weld of the specimen should be located at 90° to the direction of force applied", and "the weld is perpendicular to the load direction" can be achieved to complete the standard test.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] It is roughly the same as the above embodiment, except that the box body can be made of transparent material, and there are no openings on the front and back, so that it is possible to directly observe the overlap state of the calibration pointer 2 and the test piece 7; the magnetic switch and the magnetic surface can be replaced by other structures that can play a role of repeated attachment.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
