[0002] Ductile iron pipe fittings are widely used in industrial production and quality control due to their excellent mechanical and casting properties. However, to ensure that the quality of ductile iron pipe fittings meets standard requirements, hardness testing is essential. Hardness testing not only reflects the material's compressive and wear resistance, but also helps manufacturers identify production problems promptly, allowing them to take appropriate measures to improve product quality.

[0003] Traditional methods for measuring the hardness of ductile iron pipe fittings have several drawbacks: Low accuracy: Traditional methods often rely on manual pressure or simple mechanical devices for hardness testing. This makes it difficult to precisely control the applied pressure, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. The lack of effective means to monitor the deformation of the pipe fittings under pressure in real time makes the hardness assessment less comprehensive and accurate.

[0004] Insufficient reliability: During traditional measurement processes, pipes are prone to displacement or rotation, especially when high pressure is applied, which reduces the reliability of measurement results. The hydraulic telescopic rod sometimes freezes, affecting the smooth progress of the test and increasing test errors.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a better ductile iron pipe hardness measuring device on the market. Utility Model Content

An extrusion block 10 is fixedly provided at the lower portion of the pressure sensor 9.

[0036] An auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is symmetrically fixed to the side of the upper back 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. The core of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the upper back 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. The telescopic portion of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 extends inward and obliquely downward. The end of the telescopic portion of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is fixed with a limit support rod block 12; the end of the telescopic portion of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is fixed with a guide reinforcement rod 13. A guide sleeve 14 is symmetrically fixed to the side of the upper back 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. The guide reinforcement rod 13 passes through the guide sleeve 14 and slides with the guide sleeve 14.

[0037] The distance sensor 15 is symmetrically provided on the side of the middle portion of the U-shaped bracket 5, and the distance sensor 15 is arranged downward;

[0038] A reinforcing plate 16 is fixed between the side wing 6 of the U-shaped bracket 5 and the upper back 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5;

[0039] A push handle frame 17 is fixed to the upper rear portion of the side wing 6 of the U-shaped bracket 5, and a hydraulic controller 18 and a pressure display 19 are fixed to the push handle frame 17;

[0040] The pressure display 19 is electrically connected to the distance sensor 15 , the pressure display 19 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 9 , and the pressure display 19 is electrically connected to the battery 20 ;

[0041] A rear side plate 21 is fixedly provided on the rear side of the bottom core support plate 1, and a battery 20 and an electric hydraulic pump 22 are fixed on the rear side plate 21.

[0042] First, use the walking wheels 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom core support plate 1 to move the entire ductile iron pipe hardness measuring device to a suitable work site. Make sure the site is flat so that the device can be placed stably.

[0043] Check whether the various components of the device are firmly connected, especially the connection between the bottom core support plate 1 and other components. Check whether the walking wheel group 2 can rotate normally without any jamming.

[0044] Pipe Fitting Placement: Carefully place the ductile iron pipe fittings on the elongated pads 4, symmetrically positioned on the support plate 3. Ensure the pipe fittings are properly positioned on the elongated pads 4 to ensure uniform force during subsequent measurements. Because the support plates 3 are symmetrically positioned above the bottom core support plate 1 and extend parallel to the direction of the running wheels 2, this helps ensure stable pipe placement.

[0045] Pipe Fixing: By operating the hydraulic controller 18 on the push handle frame 17, the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is activated to extend. The core of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is fixed to the upper back portion 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. Its telescopic portion extends inward and downward. As the telescopic portion extends, the fixed limit support rod block 12 at the end gradually approaches the ductile iron pipe until it is firmly fixed, preventing horizontal movement of the pipe during measurement. At the same time, a guide reinforcement rod 13 is also fixed to the end of the telescopic portion of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11. The guide reinforcement rod 13 passes through and slides with the guide sleeve 14 symmetrically arranged on the side of the upper back portion 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. This structure ensures the stability and guidance of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 during extension and extension.

[0046] Applying Pressure: After the pipe is secured, operate the hydraulic controller 18 again to begin extending the core hydraulic telescopic rod 8. The core portion of the core hydraulic telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the center of the upper back portion 7 of the U-shaped bracket 5. The telescopic portion extends downward. A pressure sensor 9 is fixed to the end of the telescopic portion, and an extrusion block 10 is fixed below the pressure sensor 9. As the core hydraulic telescopic rod 8 extends, the extrusion block 10 gradually compresses the ductile iron pipe.

[0047] Data collection: During the extrusion process, the pressure sensor 9 senses the pressure applied by the extrusion block 10 on the pipe and transmits the pressure signal to the pressure display 19 electrically connected thereto. The pressure display 19 displays the current applied pressure value in real time.

[0048] At the same time, the distance sensors 15 symmetrically arranged on the side of the middle part of the U-shaped bracket 5 and facing downward will sense the deformation of the ductile iron pipe when it is squeezed and transmit the deformation information to the pressure display 19.

[0049] High-precision measurement: The combination of the core hydraulic telescopic rod 8 and pressure sensor 9 precisely controls and measures the pressure applied to the ductile iron pipe. The distance sensor 15 monitors the pipe's deformation under pressure in real time, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its hardness.

[0050] High reliability: The combination of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod 11 and the position-limiting support rod block 12 effectively secures the ductile iron pipe, preventing displacement or rotation during measurement and ensuring measurement accuracy. The sliding fit between the guide reinforcement rod 13 and the guide sleeve 14 ensures smooth movement of the hydraulic telescopic rod, reducing errors caused by mechanical jamming.

[0051] Good stability: The rectangular design of the bottom core support plate 1 provides a stable foundation, ensuring that the measurement results are not affected by external interference during the measurement process. The fixed connection between the U-shaped bracket 5 and the bottom core support plate 1 enhances the stability of the entire device. The reinforcing plate 16 on the U-shaped bracket 5 further enhances the structural strength.

[0052] Strong adaptability: the device can be applied to ductile iron pipe fittings of different sizes and shapes, and can adapt to pipe fittings of various specifications by adjusting the position of the auxiliary hydraulic telescopic rod body 11.

[0053] The design of the elongated pad 4 makes the pipe more stable during placement, reducing measurement errors caused by improper placement.

[0054] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
