Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fatigue test device for a nickel-titanium spring. Background Art
[0002] The nickel-titanium spring has a function that ordinary springs do not have - the shape memory function. The nickel-titanium alloy is a kind of shape memory alloy. The spring made of it can present different states at different temperatures through the shape memory effect, and the force value of the spring is also different. Utilizing this special property of the nickel-titanium spring, it has been widely used in various fields, such as: automobiles, household appliances, fire protection systems, etc. However, in some fields, it is not sufficient to be used only once. It requires the nickel-titanium spring to work tens of thousands or millions of times to ensure the unchanged use performance of the equipment. Therefore, after processing the nickel-titanium spring, we need to conduct a fatigue test on the nickel-titanium spring. Since manual testing cannot meet our testing needs, we need a new type of testing device. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Embodiment
[0013] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present utility model relates to a nickel-titanium spring fatigue testing equipment. The testing equipment includes an electronic digital display tensile testing machine 1. The electronic digital display tensile testing machine 1 has a workbench 1.1. The rear side of the top of the workbench 1.1 is the testing machine body 1.2. A vertically downward pressure bar 1.3 is fixed to the bottom of the testing machine body 1.2.
[0014] A testing glass tooling 2 is arranged on the front side of the top of the workbench 1.1. The testing glass tooling 2 is located directly below the pressure bar 1.3. The bottom of the testing glass tooling 2 is a square glass 2.1. The top of the square glass 2.1 is a vertical cylindrical glass 2.2. The bottom of the cylindrical glass 2.2 is fixed to the square glass 2.1. The top and bottom of the cylindrical glass 2.2 are open, and a notch 2.3 is provided on one side of the cylindrical glass 2.2.
[0015] A programmable DC power supply 3 is arranged beside the electronic digital display tensile testing machine 1. The programmable DC power supply 3 is located on one side of the notch of the cylindrical glass 2.2. The programmable DC power supply is placed on the DC power supply support platform 4. The positive and negative poles of the programmable DC power supply 3 are connected to two electric wires 5. The ends of the two electric wires 5 both pass through the notch 2.3 of the cylindrical glass 2.2.
[0016] A nickel-titanium spring 6 to be tested is placed in the cylindrical glass 2.2. The diameter of the notch 2.3 is smaller than that of the nickel-titanium spring 6. The nickel-titanium spring 6 is limited by the cylindrical glass 2.2 to prevent it from falling out. After the ends of the two wires 5 pass through the notch 2.3, they are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the nickel-titanium spring 6 for power supply.
[0017] A computer 7 is also provided beside the electronic digital display tensile testing machine 1. The computer 7 is connected to the electronic digital display tensile testing machine 1 and is used to display the force received by the nickel-titanium spring 6, and a force value curve graph is formed through multiple tests.
[0018] The working process of this nickel-titanium spring fatigue testing equipment is as follows:
[0019] First, place the nickel-titanium spring in the cylindrical glass of the test glass tooling, fix the wires to the upper and lower ends of the nickel-titanium spring, connect the other ends of the wires to the programmable DC power supply, place the test glass tooling on the workbench of the electronic digital display tensile testing machine, install the pressure bar on the electronic digital display tensile testing machine, adjust the pressure bar and the test glass tooling to be concentric and in contact with the nickel-titanium spring, connect the computer to the electronic digital display tensile testing machine, and set the parameters in the electronic digital display tensile testing machine and the programmable DC power supply;
[0020] After the preliminary preparations are completed, start the programmable DC power supply to energize the nickel-titanium spring. After the nickel-titanium spring is heated, it returns to its memory shape and fully rebounds. The programmable DC power supply cuts off the power according to the program-set time. Then start the electronic digital display tensile testing machine. The pressure bar on the electronic digital display tensile testing machine descends to compress the nickel-titanium spring to a specified height. The force value displayed on the electronic digital display is transmitted to the computer to form a force value curve graph, and the pressure bar rises to return to the initial height. Repeat this process. After the number of times is reached, analyze each curve graph to determine whether the fatigue performance of the nickel-titanium spring meets the requirements.
