[0002] Composite materials are a strategic emerging industry that the country encourages to develop. They are widely used in the automotive industry, electronics and electrical appliances, aerospace, rail transportation, wind power and new energy fields. They belong to the new materials industry that the country encourages to develop. The market demand continues to grow and the development prospects are broad.

[0003] Composite materials are one of the important materials in the current aerospace field. They have a very broad prospect for dual-use in military and civilian fields and are a strategic technology to ensure national security and strength. In order to adapt to the harsh environment of high-speed flight, the performance of composite materials for aircraft faces huge challenges: the stability, ultimate bearing capacity and failure / destruction assessment under different load conditions are essential. In order to ensure the safety of composite materials, it is necessary to conduct axial compression tests on composite wall panels in the laboratory to provide a basis for composite material structure design and analysis.

[0004] In the axial compression test of the wall panel, the wall panel must be in a pure simply supported state, and the structure must be prevented from becoming unstable during the compression process, which brings great difficulties to the aircraft structure design and mechanical performance testing. In the existing technology, the size of the axial compression test fixture is fixed, and the distance between each position of the test fixture cannot be adjusted to adapt to wall panels of different shapes, which greatly limits its use. In addition, the lateral supports on the left and right sides are fixed, and the wall panel cannot be centered and straightened after clamping. The clamping direction and position of the wall panel need to be manually corrected, which not only results in large errors but also has low clamping efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a composite material wall panel axial compression test fixture, which has the characteristics of good mechanical properties, high rigidity, stability, good transfer characteristics and wide application range.

[0006] The utility model discloses a composite material wall panel axial compression test fixture, comprising a base fixed on a test machine body, a lower constraint plate fixed on the middle of the base, two corner plates of a right-angled triangle structure installed on the base on both sides of the lower constraint plate and movable left and right along the base, two groups of sliding plates fixed on the vertical edges on the inner sides of the two corner plates for supporting the wall panels, a top plate fixed to the free end of a hydraulic cylinder of the test machine body and arranged corresponding to the lower constraint plate, and an upper constraint plate fixed to the lower end of the top plate.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the base is an integrally formed structure with a convex cross-section, and two bottom edges of the convex structure are first flange plates for fixing to the testing machine body.

[0008] Preferably, a second flange plate is provided on the angle plate at a horizontal mounting position relative to the base, and a long hole is opened on the second flange plate. Connecting bolts are inserted into the corresponding long holes to fix the angle plate and the base, thereby enabling the angle plate to move left and right along the base.

[0009] Preferably, a third flange plate for fixing the sliding plate is provided at the vertical installation position of the angle plate.

[0010] Preferably, the top plate, the upper constraint plate, and the lower constraint plate are connected according to the holes on the hydraulic cylinder adapter plate.

[0011] The utility model also discloses an axial compression testing machine with the fixture, which comprises a testing machine body and the aforementioned axial compression testing fixture.

[0012] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model relates to an axial compression test fixture for composite material wall panels, which connects the wall panels with the upper and lower constraint plates, and adjusts the positions of the two left and right angle plates by selecting appropriate positions through the long strip holes on the angle plate base according to the shape and size of the wall panels, so that a certain gap is left between each angle plate and the edge of the wall panel, and can be suitable for axial compression tests of wall panels of different shapes. The right-angled triangle angle plates have mechanical properties of high rigidity, stability, and good transfer characteristics, which prevent the free edges on both sides of the wall panels from becoming unstable during loading. The sliding plate and the base are used to support the wall panels to constrain the freedom of movement in the normal direction of the wall panels. At the same time, the vertically installed sliding plate enables the wall panels to be easily centered and straightened to ensure that the wall panels are perpendicular to the tooling base, and the clamping efficiency is high.

[0014] The axial compression testing machine of the utility model can adjust the distances of various positions of the test fixture to adapt to wall panels of different shapes, so that one fixture can complete axial compression tests on various composite material wall panels, and has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0023] The axial compression test fixture 2 for the composite material wall panel 3 described in this embodiment connects the wall panel 3 with the upper and lower constraint plates 23, and adjusts the positions of the two left and right angle plates 24 by selecting a suitable position through the long holes on the base 21 of the angle plate 24 according to the shape and size of the wall panel 3, so that a certain gap is left between each of the angle plates 24 and the edge of the wall panel 3, and can be suitable for axial compression tests of wall panels 3 of different shapes. The right-angled triangle angle plate 24 has mechanical properties of high stiffness, stability, and good transfer characteristics, which prevents the free edges on both sides of the wall panel 3 from becoming unstable during loading.

[0026] As a preferred implementation of the above technical solution, a third flange plate 26 for fixing the sliding plate 27 is provided at the vertical installation position of the angle plate 24 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the sliding plate 27 .

[0027] As a preferred implementation of the above technical solution, the top plate 28, the upper constraint plate 29, and the lower constraint plate 23 are connected according to the holes on the hydraulic cylinder adapter plate, so that the load can be applied evenly and smoothly, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the test.

The structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble.
