Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of machinery and relates to a new type of fatigue anti-instability tooling. Background Art

[0002] In the process of traditional composite material testing, such as materials like fiberglass and pultruded plates, a series of fatigue test items such as tension-compression and compression-compression are often required. Due to the properties of the materials themselves and the lack of a good fixed material frame in the testing machine, the sample shows bending instability during the testing under pressure, resulting in the inability to complete the testing task. Therefore, many improvements have been made to the traditional testing methods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the problem that negative phenomena such as bending instability occur during the fatigue test pressing process of the specimen, resulting in the fracture of the specimen and the inability to achieve the test purpose, this application provides a fatigue anti-instability tooling with fast and accurate positioning.

[0004] A new type of fatigue anti-instability tooling includes two upper and lower bases with the same structure and two upper and lower anti-instability blocks with the same structure. The anti-instability blocks are used to fix the spline; corresponding positions on the two bases are respectively provided with screw holes for fixing and grooves or protrusions for limiting the position of the anti-instability blocks. The two bases are fixed by bolt columns and nuts; the back surface of the anti-instability block is a plane, and the front surface is an arc surface. The highest point of the arc surface is located at the center of the tooling; the anti-instability blocks are stuck in the grooves of the bases or embedded between the protrusions of the bases.

The gasket and the back surface of the anti-instability block are respectively provided with corresponding protrusions and grooves for limiting, and the gasket and the base are respectively provided with corresponding protrusions and grooves for limiting.

[0006] Further, the thickness of the gasket is less than the depth of the grooves or protrusions of the base.

[0007] Further, the corresponding protrusions and grooves between the gasket and the back surface of the anti-instability block are strip-shaped, and the corresponding protrusions and grooves between the gasket and the base are circular.

[0008] Further, the grooves or protrusions of the base are grooves formed with 4 protrusions in the middle, and there are two small protrusions in the grooves.

[0009] Further, the base is in an I shape, and screw holes for fixing are respectively provided at the four corners. The bolt column passes through the upper and lower bases and the bearing and is fixed with the nut. The bearing is a bearing with balls, which is used to connect and conduct with the bolt column, press the upper base above the specimen through the screw rod, and then lock the entire tooling with a locking nut.

[0010] Furthermore, it further includes a U-shaped positioning base. On both sides of the middle of the positioning base, there are protruding card slots for positioning the base, and in the centers of both ends of the positioning base, there are small slots for positioning the specimen.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-instability block is replaceable and has different sizes.

[0012] During use, place the base on the positioning base, place a gasket and an anti-instability block of appropriate size on the base so that it can closely fit the specimen, and limit it with the card slot or protrusion. Install the same gasket and anti-instability block of appropriate size on another base. Wait until the sample (specimen) is placed between the anti-instability blocks, align its screw holes with the screw posts for installation, and clamp the sample into the anti-instability blocks. Put a bolt on the screw post and use a certain appropriate force to fix it so that the arc surface of the anti-instability block closely fits the sample. Use a caliper to measure until the four ends of the two bases are at the same level. Put the specimen with the anti-instability tooling on the machine for testing.

[0013] The utility model provides an anti-instability fixture for fatigue testing of fiber-reinforced composites, which includes a positioning base, a base assembly, four fixed screw posts connecting the upper and lower bases, upper and lower fixing gaskets and anti-instability blocks for fixing the specimen, and four locking nuts for locking the whole device. The names and structures of each component are as follows: (1) The positioning base has protruding card slot structures at both ends of the middle for positioning the base, and small slots at the centers of both ends for positioning the specimen. (2) The specimen. (3) The bearing for fixing. (4) The upper base has an I-shaped structure, with a protruding groove in the middle for fixing the anti-instability block, two small protrusions in the groove for fixing the gasket, and screw holes at the four ends for connecting the two ends of the base and installing it on both sides of the specimen. (5) The bolt for fixing the tooling. (6) The lower base includes two side bases, with an I-shaped structure, having a protruding groove in the middle for fixing the anti-instability block, two small protrusions in the groove for fixing the gasket, and screw holes at the four ends for connecting the two ends of the base and installing it on both sides of the specimen. (7) The gasket has two small holes in the middle for installation and fixation on the base. (8) The anti-instability block includes two anti-instability blocks, with a flat back and an arc-shaped front. The highest point of the arc surface is located at the center of the tooling and is used to closely fit the specimen. (9) The bolt post is placed in the bolt hole of the base for connection and fixing the tooling on both sides of the specimen.

[0014] Through the technical solution of the utility model, the problem of fixture instability caused by complex installation, difficult centering, and high cycle times during tensile-compression and compression-compression fatigue testing is effectively solved. The whole tooling design is simple and the installation is convenient, effectively solving the problem of specimen instability during compression-compression fatigue.

[0015] In order to ensure that the specimen does not bend and become unstable when subjected to a compressive force, a tooling is used for fixation, which can well ensure that the specimen is not affected by negative factors such as bending and shearing during the test. In order to quickly and accurately install the tooling at the center position of the specimen, a positioning base is used to quickly place the tooling on the specimen to ensure its centering. The use of convex grooves and gaskets can facilitate the replacement of the anti-instability blocks, ensuring that the tooling can closely fit the specimen regardless of the specimen's size. The product of this application can more quickly and accurately position the specimen and the tooling and install them in the middle of the specimen. Description of the Drawings
