Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rock rotary shear test, and more specifically, it relates to a rock rotary shear testing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, rock rotary shear testing machines are mainly used to test the shear strength and other mechanical properties of rocks. During the operation of such equipment, corresponding cutting tools need to be used for different types of rocks. To achieve the quick replacement and adaptation of different cutting tools, these cutting tools usually need to be fixedly connected to the testing machine in a certain mechanical way. However, most of the existing fixing methods adopt traditional threaded connections or clamping mechanisms. These methods are prone to loosening of the cutting tool due to wear of the contact surface or natural relaxation of the threads during long-term use or under severe mechanical vibrations. Once the cutting tool becomes loose, it will not only affect the accuracy and repeatability of the test results, but may also lead to damage to the equipment or even safety accidents. Therefore, the existing fixing methods have obvious deficiencies in ensuring long-term reliable connection. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a rock rotary shear testing machine, including a support frame 1, the support frame 1 is installed on an external device, a locking mechanism is arranged on the support frame 1, the locking mechanism includes a receiving mechanism, a hydraulic cylinder 2, a fixing sleeve 3, an insertion rod 4, a cutting knife 5, a limiting rod 6, a slider 7, a limiting ring 8 and a telescopic mechanism, the receiving mechanism is installed on the support frame 1, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is installed on the support frame 1, the fixing sleeve 3 is installed on the extending section of the hydraulic cylinder 2, cutting knives 5 and limiting rods 6 are respectively installed at both ends of the insertion rod 4, a limiting groove 9 is opened on the fixing sleeve 3, the limiting rod 6 is clamped in the limiting groove 9, a plurality of shrinkage grooves 10 are equidistantly opened on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 3, a slider 7 is slidably connected in each shrinkage groove 10, a plurality of limiting rings 8 are installed on each slider 7, a plurality of annular grooves 11 are opened on the side wall of the insertion rod 4, the limiting rings 8 are clamped in the annular grooves 11, the telescopic mechanism is installed on the fixing sleeve 3, the telescopic mechanism includes a threaded section 12 and a thrust bearing 13, the threaded section 12 is threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve 3, a hexagonal groove 14 is opened on the side wall of the threaded section 12, the insertion rod 4 is slidably connected in the threaded section 12, the thrust bearing 13 is attached to the threaded section 12, a plurality of push springs 15 are arranged on each slider 7, and each push spring 15 respectively abuts against the thrust bearing 13.

[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to replace the corresponding cutting knife 5, first slide the insertion rod 4 on the corresponding cutting knife 5 into the threaded section 12, then insert the limiting rod 6 into the limiting groove 9, then rotate the threaded section 12 and drive the push spring 15 to move upward through the thrust bearing 13, then make the slider 7 slide along the shrinkage groove 10 so that the limiting ring 8 is clamped in the annular groove 11, thereby limiting it. Since the friction angle of the shrinkage groove 10 is greater than the inclination angle, when the insertion rod 4 moves upward, it will be subjected to corresponding friction, so that the insertion rod 4 is in a self-locking state, and no sliding will occur no matter how the cutting knife 5 is used, thus ensuring the stability of use.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1, as an implementation mode of the receiving mechanism: The receiving mechanism includes an extension seat 16, a cylinder 17 and a tray 18. The extension seat 16 is installed on the support frame 1, the cylinder 17 is installed on the extension seat 16, a tray 18 is provided on the extending end of the cylinder 17, a rotating seat 20 is provided on the support frame 1, a transverse plate 21 is rotatably provided on the rotating seat 20, a guide rod 22 is provided on the transverse plate 21, a transverse frame 23 is slidably provided on the guide rod 22, receiving plates 24 are symmetrically provided on the transverse frame 23, a motor 25 is provided on the transverse plate 21, a lead screw 26 is provided on the extending end of the motor 25, and the lead screw 26 is threadedly connected to the transverse frame 23. The rock is fitted between the two receiving plates 24.

[0031] More specifically, since the rock is placed between the two receiving plates 24 and the transverse plate 21 can rotate along the rotating seat 20, the corresponding angle can be adjusted. Then, the motor 25 is started, and since the lead screw 26 is threadedly connected to the transverse frame 23, the transverse frame 23 can be driven to move towards the direction of the tray 18. Then, the rock can be conveyed directly below the tray 18. Then, the cylinder 17 is started to support the rock. Then, the cutting knife 5 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 2 to perform a shear test on the rock. When the angle needs to be adjusted, only the transverse frame 23 needs to be rotated along the rotating seat 20, thus completing the angle adjustment and further completing the shear test of the rock.

[0032] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or operation: When the corresponding cutting knife 5 needs to be replaced, first, the insertion rod 4 on the corresponding cutting knife 5 is slidably connected in the threaded section 12, then the limiting rod 6 is inserted into the limiting groove 9, and then the threaded section 12 is rotated and the push spring 15 is driven to move upward through the thrust bearing 13. Then, the slider 7 slides along the contraction groove 10, and the limiting ring 8 is stuck in the annular groove 11, thereby limiting it. Since the friction angle of the contraction groove 10 is greater than the inclination angle, when the insertion rod 4 moves upward, it will be subject to the corresponding friction force, so that the insertion rod 4 is in a self-locking state, and the cutting knife 5 will not slide no matter how it is used, thus ensuring the stability of use.

[0033] Since the rock is placed between the two receiving plates 24 and the transverse plate 21 can rotate along the rotating seat 20, the corresponding angle can be adjusted. Then, the motor 25 is started, and since the lead screw 26 is threadedly connected to the transverse frame 23, the transverse frame 23 can be driven to move towards the direction of the tray 18. Then, the rock can be conveyed directly below the tray 18. Then, the cylinder 17 is started to support the rock. Then, the cutting knife 5 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 2 to perform a shear test on the rock. When the angle needs to be adjusted, only the transverse frame 23 needs to be rotated along the rotating seat 20, thus completing the angle adjustment and further completing the shear test of the rock.

[0034] Among all the solutions mentioned above, for the connection between two components, welding, connection with bolts and nuts, connection with bolts or screws, or other well-known connection methods can be selected according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated one by one here. For all the cases of fixed connection mentioned above, welding is preferably considered. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
