The plastisol needs to be heated and cured after being sprayed or coated on the sheet metal. During the production process of sheet metal forming, processes such as shearing, bending, stamping, and welding will generate residual stresses on the sheet metal.

Therefore, they do not have a technical essence.

The specific structure can be described with reference to the drawings of the patent application.

[0021] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model discloses a material cracking simulation device, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, which includes a fixed platform 1, a vibrating platform 2, a base 3, a limiting mechanism 4 and an elastic member 5. One side of the fixed platform 1 abuts against the vibrating platform 2. The vibrating platform 2 is arranged above the base 3. One end of the elastic member 5 is fixedly connected to the vibrating platform 2, and the other end of the elastic member 5 is fixedly connected to the base 3. The vibrating platform 2 is provided with a connecting portion 201 and a spraying portion 202. The spraying portion 202 is arranged corresponding to the fixed platform 1, and a vibrating motor 203 is arranged on the lower surface of the spraying portion 202; the limiting mechanism 4 includes a guiding column 401, a first limiting block 402 and a second limiting block 403. The lower end of the guiding column 401 is fixedly connected to the base 3, the upper end of the guiding column 401 passes through the connecting portion 201, and the connecting portion 201 can slide up and down relative to the guiding column 401. The first limiting block 402 and the second limiting block 403 are slidably sleeved on the guiding column 401. The first limiting block 402 is arranged above the vibrating platform 2, and the second limiting block 403 is arranged below the vibrating platform 2.

[0022] Working principle: When the vibrating motor 203 is not started, the elastic member 5 is in a compressed state under the self-weight of the vibrating motor 203. Specifically, the upper surface of the spraying portion 202 of the vibrating platform 2 is flush with the upper surface of the fixed platform 1. The paint is coated on the upper surfaces of the spraying portion 202 and the fixed platform 1, and the paint is coated at the position between the spraying portion 202 and the fixed platform 1, as Figure 2 shown. The position of the dotted line frame is the position where the paint is coated. Place this material cracking simulation device in a baking equipment, the baking temperature is about 100 degrees Celsius, and the motor attached to the device will not be affected by the temperature. During the baking stage, when the vibrating motor 203 works, it generates vibrations. The guiding column 401 guides the vibrating platform 2, so that the vibrating platform 2 can only move up and down relative to the guiding column 401. The vibrating platform 2 generates reciprocating up and down vibrations under the vibration of the vibrating motor 203. The upper surface of the spraying portion 202 generates up and down offsets relative to the upper surface of the fixed platform 1. The paint on the spraying portion 202 is subjected to a vertical pulling force to simulate the residual stress released by the sheet metal during the baking process. By respectively adjusting the distances between the first limiting block 402 and the second limiting block 403 and the vibrating platform 2, the maximum amplitude of the vibrating platform 2 in the vertical direction can be limited, and the magnitude of the simulated stress can be controlled. The simulation device can set the amplitude of the vibrating platform 2 according to different sheet metals and paints for simulation tests. Optimize the material according to the test results to avoid cracking of the paint during baking in actual production, ensure the quality and reliability of the paint, avoid production waste, and improve production efficiency.

[0023] Further, as Figure 1 and 3As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a reduction motor 6 is provided below the fixed platform 1. The output end of the reduction motor 6 is connected to a lead screw 601. A threaded hole 303 is provided on one side of the base 3 close to the fixed platform 1. The lead screw 601 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 303.

[0024] The reduction motor 6 is arranged below the fixed platform 1. The reduction motor 6 drives the lead screw 601 to rotate. The lead screw 601 passes through between the support feet of the fixed platform 1 and extends to the base 3. The lead screw 601 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 303. When the reduction motor 6 works, the distance between the base 3 and the fixed platform 1 can be changed under the action of the lead screw 601. The paint on the spraying part 202 and the fixed platform 1 is subjected to a tensile force in the horizontal direction to simulate the residual stress released by the sheet metal during the baking process.

[0025] The reduction motor 6 has a large torque and can drive a device with a large load. When simulating sheet metal stress, precise control is required. The reduction motor 6 can precisely control the rotation speed of the lead screw 601, thereby controlling the magnitude of the simulated stress. The simulation device can set the moving speed and moving direction of the base 3 according to different paints for simulation tests.

[0026] The vibration motor 203 applies a vibration effect to the vibration platform 2. The reduction motor 6 moves the base 3 relative to the fixed platform 1, which can respectively simulate the vertical stress, horizontal stress, and the stress of the superposition of the two directions released by the sheet metal during the baking process. It can simulate the stress generated in different directions and precisely control the magnitude of the stress, making the coverage range of the simulation test larger and the accuracy higher.

[0027] Further, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a slide rail 7 and a plurality of sliders 701 are provided below the base 3. The slide rail 7 is arranged parallel to the lead screw 601. The slider 701 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 7. The slider 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 3.

[0028] The base 3 is fixedly connected to the slider 701. The base 3 can move along the slide rail 7 with the slider 701, making the movement of the base 3 relative to the fixed platform 1 smoother, reducing friction, and enabling more precise control of the distance between the base 3 and the fixed platform 1 under the drive of the reduction motor 6 and the lead screw 601.

[0029] Further, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a driving motor 301 and a screw rod 302 are arranged on a base 3. The output end of the driving motor 301 is connected to the screw rod 302. The driving motor 301 is used to drive the screw rod 302 to rotate. The upper end of the screw rod 302 passes through a connecting portion 201. A first thread 3021 is provided on the section of the screw rod 302 above the connecting portion 201, and a second thread 3022 is provided on the section of the screw rod 302 below the connecting portion 201. The spiral directions of the first thread 3021 and the second thread 3022 are opposite. The screw rod 302 is threadedly connected with a first sleeve 3023 and a second sleeve 3024. The internal thread of the first sleeve 3023 is threadedly connected with the first thread 3021, and the internal thread of the second sleeve 3024 is threadedly connected with the second thread 3022. A first limiting block 402 is connected to the first sleeve 3023, and a second limiting block 403 is connected to the second sleeve 3024.

[0030] The spiral directions of the first thread 3021 and the second thread 3022 are opposite. When the screw rod 302 rotates, the first sleeve 3023 and the second sleeve 3024 respectively threadedly connected with the first thread 3021 and the second thread 3022 will approach or move away from the connecting portion 201 simultaneously. The first sleeve 3023 is connected to the first limiting block 402, and the second sleeve 3024 is connected to the second limiting block 403. When the screw rod 302 rotates, the first limiting block 402 and the second limiting block 403 will approach or move away from the connecting portion 201 simultaneously with the first sleeve 3023 and the second sleeve 3024, thereby adjusting the distances between the first limiting block 402, the second limiting block 403 and the connecting portion 201 to limit the maximum amplitude of the vibration platform 2 in the vertical direction.

[0031] The driving motor 301 can control the output speed and torque, and can achieve seamless and smooth acceleration. During the baking process, personnel can remotely control the speed and rotation direction of the driving motor 301, and can remotely adjust the maximum amplitude of the vibration platform 2 in the vertical direction at any time during the baking process, avoiding personnel approaching the baking equipment and improving the operation safety.

[0032] Preferably, when the elastic member 5 is in a compressed state under the self-weight of the vibration motor 203 when the vibration motor 203 is not started, the distances between the first limiting block 402 and the second limiting block 403 and the vibration platform 2 are equal, symmetrically limiting the maximum amplitude of the vibration platform 2 up and down to make the vibration of the vibration platform 2 more stable.

[0033] Further, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a first connecting rod 3025 is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 3023, and one end of the first connecting rod 3025 away from the first sleeve 3023 is fixedly connected to the first limiting block 402; a second connecting rod 3026 is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 3024, and one end of the second connecting rod 3026 away from the second sleeve 3024 is fixedly connected to the second limiting block 403.

[0034] The first connecting rod 3025 connects the first sleeve 3023 and the first limiting block 402. When the screw 302 rotates to raise or lower the first sleeve 3023, it drives the first limiting block 402 to rise or fall; the second connecting rod 3026 connects the second sleeve 3024 and the second limiting block 403. When the screw 302 rotates to raise or lower the second sleeve 3024, it drives the second limiting block 403 to rise or fall, so that the first sleeve 3023 and the first limiting block 402, the second sleeve 3024 and the second limiting block 403 move synchronously, improving the stability and accuracy of the limiting mechanism 4.

[0035] Further, as Figure 2 shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present utility model, connecting parts 201 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the spraying part 202 in the width direction; guiding columns 401 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting parts 201 in the length direction.

[0036] Connecting parts 201 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the spraying part 202, and guiding columns 401 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting parts 201. Guiding columns 401 are provided at the four corners of the vibrating platform 2. When the vibrating platform 2 vibrates up and down, the guiding is more stable, and the limiting blocks on the guiding columns 401 can simultaneously limit the maximum amplitude of the vibrating platform 2 in the vertical direction, avoiding the skew of the vibrating platform 2 during vibration and preventing uncontrollable external forces from affecting the simulation test.

[0037] Further, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of elastic members 5 are provided, and the plurality of elastic members 5 are arranged in an array between the vibrating platform 2 and the base 3.

[0038] The elastic members 5 are arranged in an array between the vibrating platform 2 and the base 3, so that the vibrating platform 2 has multiple support points. When the vibrating motor 203 applies vibration, the force generated by the vibration can be evenly distributed to the multiple elastic members 5, making the vibration of the vibrating platform 2 more stable.

[0039] Further, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the elastic member 5 is a spring.

[0040] The structure of the spring is simple and the reliability is high. The spring can be quickly deformed when subjected to an external force and can immediately return to its original state after the external force is removed, ensuring good stability and durability of the spring under continuous working conditions.

[0041] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
