[0044] The following will describe in more detail the test device of a variable cross-section shock tube with adjustable positive pressure holding time of the present utility model in conjunction with the schematic diagram, in which the preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present utility model described herein while still achieving the beneficial effects of the present utility model. Therefore, the following description should be understood as a broad guidance for those skilled in the art and not as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 8 , a test device of a variable cross-section shock tube with adjustable positive pressure holding time includes: an air compressor 1, a high-pressure driving section 2, a transition section 3, an expansion section 4 and a pressure relief section 5.

[0046] The air compressor 1 provides high-pressure driving gas for the shock tube experiment device for testing.

[0047] The high-pressure driving section 2, the transition section 3, the expansion section 4 and the pressure relief section 5 are connected in sequence, and the high-pressure driving section 2 is connected to the air compressor 1 through a pipeline. Among them, the high-pressure driving section 2, the transition section 3 and the expansion section 4 are all provided with supports for support; the high-pressure driving section 2, the transition section 3 and the expansion section 4 are all made of steel materials.

[0048] Among them, the ambient pressure is 0.1 MPa, and a pressure greater than the ambient pressure is a high pressure. The maximum pressure that the high-pressure driving section 2 can maintain normal and safe operation is 10 MPa.

[0049] A diaphragm 33 is provided at the connection between the transition section 3 and the high-pressure driving section 2. After the diaphragm 33 ruptures, the high-pressure driving section 2, the transition section 3, the expansion section 4 and the pressure relief section 5 are connected in sequence.

[0050] Among them, the diaphragm 33 is an aluminum film and is fixed to the first fixing seat 31 of the transition section 3. Before the diaphragm 33 ruptures, it closes the gas passage in the transition section 3.

[0051] As Figure 4 shown, the gas passage in the transition section 3 penetrates through the transition section body and the second fixing seat 32 of the transition section 3.

[0052] The expansion section 4, its small end is connected to the transition section 3 through a flange, and its large end is connected to the pressure relief section 5;

[0053] The output end of the pressure relief section 5 is connected to the structural member;

[0054] A diaphragm clamping mechanism is arranged between the high-pressure drive section 2 and the transition section 3.

[0055] As Figure 3 shown, the high-pressure drive section 2 includes a closed-end fixing seat 21, a high-pressure drive section body, and an open-end fixing seat 22 that are connected in sequence;

[0056] The closed-end fixing seat 21 is provided with an air injection hole 211 on it, and one end of it facing the air compressor 1 is closed. The air compressor 1 injects driving gas into the high-pressure drive section 2 through the air injection hole 211.

[0057] The open-end fixing seat 22 is a circular ring structure, and its inner ring is fixed to the high-pressure drive section body.

[0058] The open-end fixing seat 22 forms the output end of the high-pressure drive section 2, and a first opening 221 that penetrates the open-end fixing seat 22 axially is provided on it; the first opening 221 allows the movable end of the diaphragm clamping mechanism to pass through.

[0059] As Figure 4 shown, the transition section 3 includes a first fixing seat 31 forming its input end and a second fixing seat 32 forming its output end. The second fixing seat 32 is connected to the flange of the expansion section 4.

[0060] The first fixing seat 31, the body of the transition section 3, and the second fixing seat 32 are connected in sequence.

[0061] The first fixing seat 31 is aligned with the open-end fixing seat 22, and a second opening 311 that penetrates the first fixing seat 31 is provided on it. The second opening 311 allows the movable end of the diaphragm clamping mechanism to pass through.

[0062] The second opening 311 and the first opening 221 are arranged corresponding to each other. That is, one second opening 311 corresponds to one first opening 221.

[0063] As Figure 7As shown, the diaphragm clamping mechanism has its housing adsorbed to the transition section body of the transition section 3 through a suction cup. Its movable end sequentially passes through the second opening 311 and the first opening 221 to clamp the high-pressure driving section 2 and the transition section 3. Before the diaphragm clamping mechanism works, the high-pressure driving section 2 and the transition section 3 are aligned and in contact.

[0064] Among them, one end of the suction cup is connected to the main body (housing) of the diaphragm clamping mechanism, and the other end is the adsorption end, which is adsorbed to the transition section 3.

[0065] In this example, the clamping mechanism is a hydraulic jack, and its piston forms its movable end.

[0066] As Figure 5 shown, the extension section 4 has a pyramid structure for its body, and the cross-section of its large end is a square cross-section. Considering that the building floor height in our country is about 3m and the spans of components such as beams, slabs and columns are about 3m, in order to meet the needs of carrying out full-scale tests and ensure the uniformity of the load, its cross-sectional size is not less than 3m×3m.

[0067] Furthermore, the length range of the high-pressure driving section 2 is 2m - 5m.

[0068] As Figure 6 shown, the pressure relief section 5 is a rigid frame structure, and a number of pressure relief holes 51 are opened on its outer wall.

[0069] A overpressure sensor 52 is arranged at the center of the top surface of the pressure relief section 5 for measuring the reflected overpressure load acting on the surface of the component.

[0070] The pressure relief section 5 and the extension section 4 are connected by bolts.

[0071] As Figure 6 shown, the pressure relief section 5 includes: a first frame, a pressure relief section body and a second frame connected in sequence.

[0072] The inner frames of the first frame and the second frame are both fixed to the pressure relief section body, and both the first frame and the second frame extend perpendicularly outward in the axial direction.

[0073] Pressure relief holes 51 are opened on the pressure relief section body.

[0074] The first frame is fixed to the large end of the extension section 4 by bolts, and the second frame is fixed to the structural member to be tested.

[0075] In this embodiment, "positive pressure holding time" refers to the time experienced when the pressure suddenly jumps from the ambient pressure to the maximum value and then returns to the ambient pressure.

[0076] The working principle of this shock tube test device:

[0077] During the test, the air compressor fills the high-pressure driving section with high-pressure driving gas through the steam injection hole. When the pressure difference across the membrane reaches the critical value, the diaphragm ruptures, and then the driving gas in the high-pressure driving section expands, flows into the transition section, and generates a shock wave.

[0078] The driving gas further expands in the expansion section, forming a uniformly distributed overpressure load similar to the explosion shock wave, which acts on the structural member to be tested installed at the end of the pressure relief section;

[0079] Then, the overpressure load is reflected at the structural member and discharged from the pressure relief holes on the side of the pressure relief section. The explosion load measured at the center of the top surface of the pressure relief section can represent the reflected overpressure load acting on the surface of the member.

[0080] Among them, the pressure relief holes can reduce the secondary wave and the tertiary wave generated by the multiple reflections of the shock wave in the shock tube test device.

[0081] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not impose any limitation on the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, makes any form of equivalent replacement or modification and other changes to the technical solution and technical content disclosed by the present utility model, which are all within the content of the technical solution of the present utility model and still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
