[0030] Detailed implementation mode
[0031] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present utility model, but do not limit the present utility model in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment includes: a fixture panel and a bottom support 6. A plurality of bottom supports 6 are connected to the bottom of the fixture panel. The fixture panel and the bottom support 6 are integrally formed or connected by means of bolts, welding, etc.
[0033] As Figures 2 - 3 shown, the fixture panel is divided into a cutting sub-panel 1 area and an extrusion sub-panel 2 area. Both the cutting sub-panel 1 and the extrusion sub-panel 2 are provided with a plurality of sub-boards. The cutting sub-panel 1 and the extrusion sub-panel 2 are integrally formed or connected to form the fixture panel. The plurality of sub-boards are integrally formed or assembled by means of welding, fitting, etc. A plurality of screw holes 3 are provided on each sub-board, and the plurality of screw holes 3 on each sub-board are arranged in an array; the thickness of the plurality of sub-boards of the cutting sub-panel 1 increases, the meshing length of the screw holes 3 on the plurality of sub-boards of the cutting sub-panel 1 increases, and the number of teeth of the screw holes 3 on each sub-board increases; that is, the number of meshing teeth of each sub-board screw hole 3 increases, which is achieved by changing the meshing length of the screw hole 3, because the thickness of adjacent sub-boards is different, thus realizing different meshing tooth numbers.
[0034] As Figures 4 - 5 shown, an interval groove 5 is provided between adjacent sub-boards. The interval groove 5 can distinguish different sub-boards; the bottom support 6 avoids the position of the screw hole 3, generally set at the position between two sub-boards. A laser marking area 4 is provided on the side of the fixture panel, which can be used for laser marking.
[0035] In one embodiment, the cutting sub-board 1 includes: a first cutting sub-board 11, a second cutting sub-board 12, and a third cutting sub-board 13; the extrusion sub-board 2 includes: a first extrusion sub-board 21, a second extrusion sub-board 22, and a third extrusion sub-board 23; the first cutting sub-board 11, the second cutting sub-board 12, and the third cutting sub-board 13 are arranged in a row and connected in sequence, and the thicknesses of the first cutting sub-board 11, the second cutting sub-board 12, and the third cutting sub-board 13 increase in sequence, so as to achieve that the engagement lengths of the screw holes 3 on the first cutting sub-board 11, the second cutting sub-board 12, and the third cutting sub-board 13 increase in sequence. The first extrusion sub-board 21, the second extrusion sub-board 22, and the third extrusion sub-board 23 are arranged in another row and connected in sequence, and the thicknesses of the first extrusion sub-board 21, the second extrusion sub-board 22, and the third extrusion sub-board 23 increase in sequence, so as to achieve that the engagement lengths of the screw holes 3 on the first extrusion sub-board 21, the second extrusion sub-board 22, and the third extrusion sub-board 23 increase in sequence.
[0036] In one embodiment, 16 screw holes 3 are provided on the first cutting sub-board 11, and the 16 screw holes 3 are arranged in a 4*4 array, and the number of teeth of the 16 screw holes 3 gradually increases.
[0037] In one embodiment, multiple fixture panels are provided, and their materials are aluminum alloy, brass, and 45 steel respectively. Thus, when other conditions remain unchanged, the clamping force and breaking torque of the screw holes 3 of different materials are changed.
[0038] In one embodiment, multiple fixture panels are provided and are provided with screw holes 3 of different diameters, so as to achieve, when other conditions remain unchanged, the changes in the clamping force and breaking torque of the screw holes 3 of different diameters. The measurement of the clamping force at the screw hole 3 can be realized by installing a pressure sensor.
[0039] In one embodiment, the sub-board is set as an independent module and is installed on the cutting sub-board 1 and the extrusion sub-board 2 in a detachable manner. The independent modules of multiple sub-boards are selected according to the changes in the forming methods such as cutting forming or extrusion forming, the changes in the engagement length, the changes in the diameter, and the changes in the selected materials of aluminum alloy, brass, and 45 steel. One of the variables is continuously adjusted while the other variables remain unchanged, and multiple groups of sub-board groups with reference and comparison significance are processed. Among them, the changes in the engagement length and the diameter can also be realized by processing screw holes 3 with different parameters on the same sub-board. The processed sub-board can be directly embedded into the groove reserved on the fixture panel.
[0040] In addition, corresponding daughter boards can also be directly divided on the fixture panel, and corresponding screw holes 3 can be machined on the daughter boards. Considering the convenience of using the fixture panel, one fixture panel can be machined for each group according to the control group with one control variable changed, and multiple fixture panels can be machined. When it is necessary to test the torque with one variable changed and other variables unchanged, only the fixture panel with the corresponding variable changed needs to be found.
[0041] In this embodiment, multiple screw holes 3 are machined on each daughter board of the fixture panel. The screw holes 3 on half of the daughter boards are formed by cutting, and the screw holes 3 on the other half of the daughter boards are formed by extrusion. When the daughter board is embedded, the daughter board formed by cutting can be embedded in the cutting sub-board 1 area, and the daughter board formed by extrusion can be embedded in the extrusion sub-board 2 area. Then, by controlling one of the variables of the diameter, engagement length or material of the screw hole 3 to be changed and keeping the others unchanged, multiple groups of fixture panels or independent modules of multiple groups of daughter boards that can be compared separately according to a certain parameter are machined. Select a specified torque with a torque wrench and drive the bolt into the screw hole 3. Measure the clamping force of the bolt driven into the corresponding screw hole 3 with a pressure sensor in cooperation with a display instrument. Select screw holes 3 with different numbers of teeth, different engagement lengths, different diameters, different forming methods and different materials. After continuing to select a specified torque with a torque wrench and driving the bolt into the screw hole 3, measure the clamping force of the bolt driven into the corresponding screw hole 3 with a pressure sensor, and obtain the change data of the clamping force of the screw hole 3 with the number of teeth, engagement length, diameter, forming method and material.
[0042] By controlling other variables unchanged and changing one of them, this embodiment can obtain the actual value of the clamping force at different torque magnitudes through a pressure sensor and a display instrument; it can also obtain the magnitude difference of the torque that can be borne by screw holes with different forming processes; it can also obtain the magnitude difference of the torque that can be borne by screw holes 3 with different materials; it can also obtain the magnitude difference of the torque that can be borne by screw holes with different mating numbers of teeth.
[0043] The simplified formula of the torque and clamping force for screw locking in this embodiment satisfies that the clamping force F = u1.2T, where T is the locking torque, F is the obtained clamping force, and u is the friction coefficient. When the screw strength > the strength of the screw hole 3, the ultimate failure torque (or ultimate failure clamping force) of the screw hole 3 under different conditions (hole depth, hole diameter, material) can be obtained through the test method of this embodiment. When the screw strength < the strength of the screw hole 3, the situation where the screw is broken but the screw hole 3 is not damaged will occur, and the ultimate failure torque (failure clamping force) of the screw is measured in this case.
[0044] In one implementation manner, during the test, the influence of the thread sealant on the failure torque can also be tested by applying thread sealant in some screw holes 3 and not applying thread sealant in some screw holes 3 while keeping the other parameters unchanged.

[0046] The specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present utility model.
