Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing fixtures, in particular to a testing fixture for plastic floors. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing adoption of modularization, intelligentization, and standardization in the livestock and poultry farming industry, plastic slatted flooring (PVC flooring) has become widely used in modern farming. Typically injection-molded from engineering plastics, this flooring undergoes a special surface treatment that resists staining and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. It withstands frequent use and cleaning, maintaining its aesthetic appeal and longevity. It is warmer than concrete, metal, and slate floors, providing a comfortable environment for livestock and poultry. Its anti-slip design ensures the safety of both livestock and poultry personnel. It also facilitates the removal of livestock and poultry excrement, reducing manual cleaning and maintaining cleanliness within the facility. Plastic flooring is suitable for a variety of piggery environments, particularly piglet areas such as nursery pens and farrowing pens, due to its easy assembly and disassembly, as well as its ease of cleaning and disinfection.

[0003] In practice, vinyl flooring is often used in conjunction with fiberglass or metal beams, providing excellent manure drainage and pig comfort while also facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity of fiberglass or metal beams, combined with the easy-to-clean and heat-insulating properties of vinyl flooring, make this combination ideal for high-humidity and highly corrosive environments.

[0004] The use of plastic flooring in conjunction with fiberglass beams or metal beams mainly refers to using the fiberglass beams or metal beams as horizontal support structures, using the lugs on both sides of the plastic flooring to embed it on the fiberglass beams or metal beams, and then splicing multiple plastic floors of different specifications to form an overall continuous floor in the breeding place.

[0005] In farms using plastic flooring, livestock and poultry live on the floor for extended periods, and the floor must withstand the weight of the livestock and the impact of their running and jumping. Therefore, compressive testing is a key component in evaluating the floor's performance. Because plastic flooring has multiple slits on its surface, the compressive strength of the ribs between these slits is often used as a test for the floor's compressive strength.

[0006] Since the plastic floor has multiple ribs, when testing multiple different ribs, after completing the test of one rib, the clamp must be opened and the clamping position of the plastic floor must be adjusted so that the test rib can be aligned with the indenter test, which increases the workload of the test and reduces the test efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a testing fixture for plastic flooring, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when testing multiple different ribs, the fixture must be opened and the clamping position of the plastic flooring must be adjusted after completing the test of one rib so that the test rib can be aligned with the indenter for testing, which increases the workload of the test and reduces the test efficiency, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0031] Refer to the following Figure 1-4 A test fixture for a plastic floor according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0032] The present invention provides a testing fixture for plastic flooring through the following technical solutions, comprising: an X-axis base 1 having an X-axis adjustment structure on its upper portion and a first base 11 on its lower portion; a Y-axis base 2 having a Y-axis adjustment structure on its upper portion and a second base 21 on its lower portion; and a test platform 3 having a set of parallel test beams 31 on its upper portion, a span adjustment structure disposed between the test beams 31, and a third base 30 on its lower portion. The second base 21 is connected to the X-axis adjustment structure and can move along the X-axis on the X-axis base 1 under the action of the X-axis adjustment structure. The third base 30 is connected to the Y-axis adjustment structure and can move along the Y-axis on the Y-axis base 2 under the action of the Y-axis adjustment structure. Thus, the cooperation of the X-axis and Y-axis adjustment structures enables the test platform 3 to move in both the X-axis and Y-axis directions, thereby meeting the adjustment requirements for different ribs during floor testing, reducing fixture adjustment work, and improving testing efficiency.

[0033] Currently, plastic flooring used for livestock and poultry farming primarily comes in sizes of 600mm in length and 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, and 700mm in width for ease of design and installation. The mounting lugs are located along the width of the floor. After the plastic flooring 4 under test is installed on the test beams 31, the span adjustment structure between the test beams 31 can be used to adjust the span of the test beams 31, adapting to the installation and testing of plastic flooring of varying widths.

[0034] Specifically, a support plate 32 is provided on the top of the third base 30, and the test beam 31 includes a fixed beam 311 and a movable beam 312. The fixed beam 311 is arranged on one side edge of the support plate 32, and the movable beam 312 is arranged on the other side of the support plate 32 opposite to the fixed beam 311. The span adjustment structure includes a first guide bar 33 arranged on the support plate 32 between the fixed beam 311 and the movable beam 312, and a guide groove seat 34 is provided at the bottom of the movable beam 312 to cooperate with the first guide bar 33. The guide groove seat 34 can change the distance between the fixed beam 311 and the movable beam 312 by moving along the first guide bar 33 to achieve the span change of the test beam 31.

[0035] The guide slot seat 34 is also provided with a positioning hole 341, and the support plate 32 is provided with a span hole 321 that matches the positioning hole 341. When the guide slot seat 34 moves, the positioning hole 341 is aligned with the different span holes 331. By locking them with locating pins or screws, the spacing between the fixed beam 311 and the movable beam 312 is maintained according to the width of the plastic floor being tested. The span holes 331 include spans of 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, and 700mm to match the widths of the plastic floor. To ensure accurate and stable positioning, the positioning holes 341 and span holes 331 are arranged in pairs.

[0036] In the technical solution applied to this embodiment, the X-axis adjustment structure includes a C-shaped X-axis guide groove 12 and an X-axis adjustment assembly. The bottom of the second base 21 is provided with a second guide bar 22 adapted to the X-axis guide groove 12. The second guide bar 22 is connected to the X-axis adjustment assembly and moves in the X-axis guide groove 12 under the action of the X-axis adjustment assembly.

[0037] The Y-axis adjustment structure includes a C-shaped Y-axis guide groove 24 and a Y-axis adjustment assembly.

[0038] Specifically, the X-axis adjustment assembly includes an X-axis screw rod 13, one end of the X-axis screw rod 13 is threadedly connected to the second guide bar 22, and the other end is connected to the first handle 14 provided on the X-axis seat 1. Rotating the first handle 14 drives the X-axis screw rod 13 to rotate in or out of the second guide bar 22 so that the Y-axis seat 2 moves along the X direction on the X-axis seat 1.

[0039] The Y-axis adjustment assembly includes a Y-axis screw rod 23, one end of the Y-axis screw rod 23 is threadedly connected to the third guide bar 35, and the other end is connected to a second handle 36 provided on the Y-axis seat 1. Rotating the second handle 36 drives the Y-axis screw rod 23 to rotate in or out of the third guide bar 35 so that the test table 3 moves along the Y direction on the Y-axis seat 2.

[0040] In addition, a flange 15 is provided at the bottom of the first base 11 for mounting and fixing the test fixture on the test equipment.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
