Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of testing equipment, in particular to a high and low temperature testing machine with an eccentric structure. Background Art
[0002] In the existing market of material testing machines, the vast majority of universal testing machines equipped with environmental chamber systems are designed according to a left-right symmetric structure. The advantage of the left-right symmetric structure design is that it has good versatility for most tests and meets the structural requirements of most conventional tests. However, for the test of ASTM D5528 Type I fracture toughness, since the standard specimen is relatively long and the test starts to tear from one end of the specimen, the long specimen part is deviated from the tensile center line. This results in a large amount of structural space being wasted on the symmetric side of the specimen in the test system; causing the equipment to be too large and the space utilization to be seriously wasted, which has extremely adverse effects on the equipment cost, the temperature control accuracy of the test system, the experimental force value, and the displacement accuracy.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the above defects, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Utility Model

[0048] Combined with the attached drawings Figures 1-5 Specifically described as follows
[0049] As Figures 1-2 shown, the frame 10 of this solution adopts the existing test machine 1 frame, which has a test bench 101 and a bracket 100. The test bench 101 is installed below, and a power mechanism (not shown in the attached drawings) is arranged inside the test bench 101 to provide the force application power for the test machine 1. The bracket 100 is supported above the test bench 101 and is of a frame structure. More specifically, it includes two vertically arranged columns 1000 and a cross beam 1001 that is horizontally arranged between the two columns 1000 and connected to the two columns 1000.

[0050] A test structure for clamping and testing the sample to be tested 2 is arranged on the frame. Specifically, the test structure includes a fixture 13 for clamping the sample to be tested 2, an environmental chamber 11 for realizing high and low temperature environments, and a sensor assembly 12 for recording test data after applying force to the sample to be tested 2.
[0051] Among them, the fixture 13 adopts the traditional fixture 13 of the test machine 1. In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the fixture 13 of the test machine 1 has an upper fixture 130 and a lower fixture 131. The upper fixture 130 and the lower fixture 131 have the same structure, and both adopt a T-shaped cross-section structure. The horizontal parts 1300 of the T-shaped structures of the upper fixture 130 and the lower fixture 131 are arranged oppositely, and the sample to be tested 2 is clamped between the two oppositely arranged horizontal parts 1300.

In other embodiments, the fixture 13 can also adopt other shapes or structures as long as it can effectively clamp the sample to be tested 2.
[0052] The fixture 13 clamps the sample to be tested 2 and is arranged inside the environmental chamber 11. Combined with Figure 4Shown is the test end of the environmental chamber 11. The test end of the environmental chamber 11 is arranged between the bracket 100 and the cross beam 1001. Other structures of the environmental chamber 11, such as the control system, the refrigeration system, the heating system, etc., are the same as those of the existing environmental chamber 11, and will not be elaborated here too much. Only the test end that is different from the structure of the existing environmental chamber 11 will be described.

The sensor support plate 121 assembly has a sensor support plate 121, a cushion plate 122 located between the sensor support plate 121 and the cross beam 1001, and a first connecting member 123 for fixing the sensor support plate 121 and the upper elastic body 1200 of the sensor 120. The first connecting member 123 can be set as structures such as screws and nuts.
[0055] The connecting rod 15 connecting assembly has at least a joint 124. The joint 124 has a U-shaped groove 1240. The bottom of the groove body of the U-shaped groove 1240 fits against the lower elastomer 1201 of the sensor 120. The U-shaped groove 1240 of the joint 124 and the lower elastomer 1201 of the sensor 120 are connected by a second connecting member 125. As shown in the figure, one end of the upper connecting rod 150 of the connecting rod 15 extends into the U-shaped groove 1240 of the joint 124. The upper connecting rod 150 and the U-shaped groove 1240 of the joint 124 are connected by a third connecting member 126. The second connecting member 125 and the third connecting member 126 can be set as pins.
