[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, a low-cost pendulum impact automatic braking experimental device includes a pendulum impact device. The pendulum impact device includes a detection device 3, a safety brake 5, and a pendulum shaft 1. The pendulum shaft 1 is fixedly connected to a lifting mechanism to adjust the initial height. A bearing seat 2 is fixedly provided on each side of the pendulum shaft 1. The bearing seat 2 rotatably supports the pendulum shaft 1. A pendulum assembly 6 is fixed on the pendulum shaft 1. The pendulum assembly 6 is located between the two bearing seats 2. A signal generator special part 10 with an adjustable angular position and a bracket 9 fixed on the bearing seat 2 are installed at one end of the pendulum shaft 1. The detection device 3 is installed on the bracket 9. The detection device 3 is a photoelectric sensor or a proximity switch. The signal generator special part 10, the bracket 9, and the safety brake 5 are all installed on the same side, outside the bearing seat 2, for monitoring a rotation angle of the pendulum shaft 1. When it is monitored that the pendulum shaft 1 rotates (rebounds) to this angle, a signal will be immediately sent by the photoelectric sensor or the proximity switch to the programmable logic controller PLC or the industrial computer.
[0021] The other end of the pendulum shaft 1 is connected to the brake disc of the safety brake 5 through a brake disc seat 4. A speed induction piece 8 is installed at the movable end of the pendulum assembly 6. The safety brake 5 includes a brake disc and a brake caliper. The safety brake 5 can implement braking in case of sudden power failure and can implement braking after receiving instructions from the programmable logic controller PLC or the industrial computer. The signal generator special part 10 includes a clamp and a detection plate. The clamp is U-shaped, and the lower opening of the U-shaped is fixed by bolts to fix the signal generator special part 10 on the swing shaft 1. An impact plate is installed on the impact side of the pendulum shaft 1 through bolts. A number of mounting holes are provided on the pendulum shaft 1 corresponding to the impact plate. The mounting holes are provided along the length direction of the pendulum shaft 1 for adjusting the height of the pendulum shaft 1. The speed induction piece 8 and the detection device 3 are electrically connected to the programmable logic controller PLC or the industrial computer, and the programmable logic controller PLC or the industrial computer controls the safety brake 5.
[0022] Based on an angle encoder and a safety brake 5 on the pendulum rod shaft 1 of the original pendulum rod impact device, the original angle encoder is changed into a special part 10 of a signal generator with an adjustable angular position and a photoelectric sensor or proximity switch on a bracket 9 fixed to the bearing block 2, so as to realize the monitoring of the fixed angle of the pendulum rod shaft 1 and effective braking. The detection device 3 (photoelectric sensor or proximity switch) monitors by sensing the gap or bump at the fixed angle of the pendulum rod shaft and sending an acceptable electrical signal to the programmable logic controller PLC or industrial computer. At the same time, a safety brake 5 is installed on the same side or the other side of the pendulum rod shaft 1. The safety brake 5 includes a brake disc and a brake caliper.
[0023] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: In the performance safety impact test, when the pendulum rod assembly 6 is lifted by a lifting mechanism (there are various lifting methods here to rotate to the target angle for the test; the impact body 7 installed at the bottom of the pendulum rod assembly 6 (such as a simulated football, a simulated shopping cart, and a counterweight) is lifted to a high position of the pendulum rod assembly 6 at this angle to store the energy required for the test. When the pendulum rod assembly 6 is released from a high position and completes the impact on the test object, when the pendulum rod shaft 1 rotates to a fixed angle, once the first effective impact is completed, when the programmable logic controller PLC or industrial computer receives the fixed angle signal of the detection device 3, according to the control software algorithm written in it by design, it will send an instruction to brake to the safety brake 5, and the safety brake 5 can quickly respond and lock the brake disc, realizing the immediate braking of the pendulum rod assembly 6, avoiding the occurrence of harmful secondary impacts, and ensuring the safety and accuracy of the test. The safety brake 5 will perform automatic braking without manual operation. Thus, the pendulum rod assembly 6 stops rotating immediately, preventing the occurrence of secondary impact on the test object.
[0024] Conclusion: The present utility model provides a low-cost pendulum impact automatic braking experimental device, realizing the monitoring of the fixed angle of the pendulum rod shaft 1 and the application of automatic braking in the impact test device.
[0025] The replacement of the angle encoder by the special part 10 of the signal generator and the detection device 3 in the present utility model is innovative and practical.
[0026] An angle encoder is changed to a special part 10 of a signal generator with an adjustable angular position, which is fixed on the pendulum rod shaft 1 and rotates synchronously with it; in addition, a photoelectric sensor or proximity switch is installed on the same side through a bracket 9 fixed to the bearing block 2; the safety brake 5 adopts the existing structure.
