[0019] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present utility model. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present utility model may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, some well-known technical features are not described in order to avoid obscuring the present utility model.

[0020] To thoroughly understand the present utility model, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. However, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present utility model may have other embodiments.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1-2 As shown, the present utility model provides a hydraulic fixture adjustment device in a tensile testing machine. The tensile testing machine is provided with a lower base 1 and an upper crossbeam 4 parallel to and above the lower base 1. The lower base 1 and the upper crossbeam 4 are fixedly connected by a plurality of guiding columns 2. A moving crossbeam 3 that is slidably engaged with the guiding columns 2 up and down is installed between the upper crossbeams 4 above the lower base 1. A loading cylinder 11 for driving the moving crossbeam 3 to slide is installed on the lower base 1. A load cell 10 and a lower hydraulic fixture 9 are installed on the upper surface of the lower base 1. The load cell 10 is installed between the upper surface of the lower base 1 and the lower hydraulic fixture 9.

[0022] The hydraulic fixture adjustment device of the present utility model is used to finely adjust the upper hydraulic fixture 8 up and down. The hydraulic fixture adjustment device includes a reduction motor 7, a sprocket 6, a nut sleeve 13, and a lead screw 5. The reduction motor 7 and the sprocket 6 are installed on the upper surface of the moving crossbeam 3. The reduction motor 7 is in transmission connection with the sprocket 6. The sprocket 6 is provided with a central hole. The nut sleeve 13 is rotatably arranged in the moving crossbeam 3 and coaxially fixed to the lower end surface of the sprocket 6. The lead screw 5 is in threaded connection with the nut sleeve 13. The upper hydraulic fixture 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lead screw 5.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the nut sleeve 13 is a T-shaped sleeve. The moving crossbeam 3 is provided with a through hole for installing the nut sleeve 13. Two annular steps are provided in the through hole. The upper annular step 31 is used to support the T-shaped sleeve. A limiting ring 17 is fixed to the outer edge of the nut sleeve 13 at the bottom of the moving crossbeam 3. The upper end surface of the limiting ring 17 is in contact with the lower surface of the moving crossbeam 3. Through the above structure, the nut sleeve 13 is rotatable and non-movable up and down in the moving crossbeam 3.

[0024] In addition, bearings 16 are provided between the upper annular step 31 and the T-shaped sleeve, and between the limit ring 17 and the lower annular step 32, making the rotation of the nut sleeve 13 in the moving crossbeam 3 smoother, reducing friction, and improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the adjustment device. At the same time, the setting of the bearings 16 also enhances the stability of the nut sleeve 13, ensuring that there will be no wobbling or falling off during high-speed rotation.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, the reduction motor 7 is drivingly connected to the sprocket 6 through a conveyor belt 12. In other embodiments, a chain or direct gear meshing can also be used to achieve the driving connection between the reduction motor 7 and the sprocket 6.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the lead screw 5 is provided with upper and lower limit convex rings, and the nut sleeve 13 is located between the upper and lower limit convex rings, and the upper and lower movement ranges of the lead screw 5 are restricted by the two limit convex rings. For example, when the lead screw 5 moves upward to a certain position, the limit convex ring at its bottom catches on the lower end face of the nut sleeve 13 to prevent it from continuing to rotate and move upward, realizing the limitation of the maximum upward stroke.

[0027] The utility model uses a reduction motor 7 to drive the sprocket 6 and the nut sleeve. The rotation of the nut sleeve 13 drives the lead screw 5 to move up and down, so as to adjust the position of the upper hydraulic fixture 8 at the lower end of the lead screw 5, thus safely and accurately adjusting the position of the hydraulic fixture. Subsequently, the specimen is fixed on the upper and lower hydraulic fixtures, the loading cylinder 11 is started, and the loading cylinder 11 drives the upper and lower hydraulic fixtures to move towards each other to conduct a tensile test on the specimen. The load sensor 10 detects the tensile force value, and the experimental data is recorded for each test. Different from traditional testing machines that can only use the loading cylinder to lift and lower the moving crossbeam to drive the hydraulic fixture to adjust the position. With the device of the present application, it is safer and more accurate to fix the specimen during the test, the test space is large, and it can better meet the social needs.

[0028] The advantages of the utility model are as follows:

[0029] 1. Simple structure and easy to implement: Through the combined use of a reduction motor, a sprocket, a nut sleeve, and a lead screw, the up and down fine adjustment of the upper hydraulic fixture is realized, and the overall structure is compact, which is convenient for installation and use in a tensile testing machine.

[0030] 2. High precision and good stability: The threaded connection between the nut sleeve and the lead screw ensures the accuracy of position adjustment. At the same time, the addition of bearings makes the rotation of the nut sleeve smoother, reduces friction, and improves the stability and accuracy of the adjustment device.

[0031] 3. Large adjustment range and strong adaptability: By setting the upper and lower limit convex rings, the up and down movement range of the lead screw is restricted. At the same time, the position of the limit convex rings can be adjusted according to the actual test requirements, so as to realize the fixation and adjustment of specimens with different lengths.

[0032] 4. High safety and simple operation: Compared with the traditional method of using a loading oil cylinder to lift and move the crossbeam to drive a hydraulic fixture for position adjustment, the device of the present utility model can adjust the position of the hydraulic fixture more safely and accurately, and has simple operation, improving the efficiency and safety of the test.

[0033] In summary, the present utility model provides a hydraulic fixture adjustment device in a tensile testing machine. By driving a sprocket and a nut sleeve with a reduction motor, the rotation of the nut sleeve drives the lead screw to move up and down, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the upper hydraulic fixture. The device has a simple structure, high precision, good stability, large adjustment range, high safety, simple operation, and strong versatility, can meet different test requirements, and improve the efficiency and safety of the test.
