DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a tensile testing device for a low-temperature environment of the present invention includes a tensile flange 1, a low-temperature liquid container 2, a low-temperature liquid container compression spring 3, a sealing gasket 4, a low-temperature liquid container fixing ring 5, a sensor bracket 6, a sensor 7, an end 8, a bolt 10, a nut 11, and a connecting block 12, which is used to perform a tensile test on a test piece 9. The upper and lower tensile flanges 1 are both T-shaped structures. The protruding part of the T-shaped structure is the end 8, which is used to cooperate with a mechanical testing machine. The connecting block 12 is connected to the lower side of the horizontal side of the T-shaped structure, which is a circular ring and is used to make the tensile flange 1 cooperate with the test piece 9.

[0029] The test piece 9 can be a tubular insulator or other tubular products. Both ends of the test piece 9 are step-shaped structures, and a ring-shaped connecting block 12 is sleeved on the outside of the step-shaped structure. The thickness of the connecting block 12 is equal to the thickness of the step-shaped structure. The connecting block 12 is flush with the horizontal side of the T-shaped structure, and the horizontal sides of the T-shaped structures of the upper and lower stretching flanges 1 are fixedly connected to the connecting block 12 by bolts 10. The bolts 10 pass through the horizontal sides of the T-shaped structures of the upper and lower stretching flanges 1. The nut 11 is installed on the bolt 10 and is used to compress the horizontal sides of the T-shaped structures of the upper and lower stretching flanges 1 and the connecting block 12 through the bolt 10. A low-temperature liquid container compression spring 3 is arranged between the horizontal side of the T-shaped structure of the lower stretching flange 1 and the bottom wall of the low-temperature liquid container 2.

[0030] After the upper and lower stretch flanges 1 are connected to the test piece 9, the entire assembly is lowered into the cryogenic liquid container 2 through the upper opening, so that the test piece 9 is nested within the cryogenic liquid container 2. The opening at the bottom of the cryogenic liquid container 2 is only wide enough to pass through the port 8, while the horizontal edge of the T-shaped structure is blocked inside the cryogenic liquid container 2. The upper stretch flange 1 is located at the upper opening of the cryogenic liquid container 2, and the horizontal edge of the T-shaped structure of the upper stretch flange 1 can freely pass through the upper opening.

[0031] The cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5 is installed on the end 8 of the lower stretch flange 1. A sealing gasket 4 is provided between the cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5 and the outer bottom wall of the cryogenic liquid container 2 to fix the cryogenic liquid container 2 and maintain sealing.

[0032] Sensor bracket 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the inner cylinder of cryogenic liquid container 2 via guide rails, and sensor 7 is mounted on sensor bracket 6. A cryogenic liquid, such as liquid nitrogen or liquid helium, is placed in the inner cylinder of cryogenic liquid container 2. The assembly consisting of upper and lower tensile flanges 1 and the test piece 9 is tested using the end 8 of the tensile flanges 1 in conjunction with a mechanical testing machine.

[0033] The tensile flange 1 is connected to the test piece 9 by means of bolts 10 and nuts 11, so as to form a tensile integral body. Two tensile flanges 1 are arranged above and below the test piece 9 and have the same shape.

[0034] Preferably, the stretching flange 1 is threadedly connected to the cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5. The cryogenic liquid container compression spring 3 and the cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5 secure the position of the cryogenic liquid container 2 to prevent the cryogenic liquid container 2 from loosening and leaking during the stretching process. The cryogenic liquid container compression spring 3, the sealing gasket 4, and the cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5 clamp the stretching flange 1 and the cryogenic liquid container 2 together, creating a seal between the lower stretching flange 1 and the bottom plate of the cryogenic liquid container 2.

[0035] Preferably, the cryogenic liquid container 2 is a hollow two-layer structure, and the middle of the two-layer structure is filled with thermal insulation material to reduce heat transfer and maintain the internal low temperature.

[0036] Preferably, the sensor bracket 6 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder of the cryogenic liquid container 2 are both provided with corresponding guide rails, and the two are matched with the guide rails to facilitate removal, replacement, or repositioning. The sensor bracket 6 has a detachable sensor interface that can be installed with different types of sensors to facilitate real-time monitoring of various data inside the cryogenic liquid container 2.

[0037] Preferably, a spacer is provided between the position where the bolt 10 extends out of the connecting block 12 and the end head 8 .

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the tensile flange 1 is connected to the test piece 9 by bolts and nuts, so that it becomes a tensile whole. The end heads 8 of the tensile flanges 1 at both ends are subjected to axial force F, so that the test piece 9 is subjected to axial force.

[0039] like Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3cAs shown, when using the tensile testing device of the present invention, tensile flanges 1 are installed at both ends of the test piece. Then, the cryogenic liquid container compression spring 3 is passed through the end of the tensile flange 1. The tensile flange 1 and the test piece 9 are placed into the cryogenic liquid container 2 through the opening at the top. The end 8 of the tensile flange 1 is passed through the opening at the bottom of the cryogenic liquid container 2. After the sealing gasket 4 is inserted, the cryogenic liquid container fixing ring 5 is installed on the end 8 of the tensile flange 1 to fix the cryogenic liquid container 2 and maintain the seal. The required sensor 7 is installed on the sensor bracket 6, and the sensor bracket 6 is installed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder of the cryogenic liquid container 2 via a guide rail. The inner cylinder of the cryogenic liquid container 2 is placed in a cryogenic liquid, such as liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, etc., and the entire assembly is mounted on the tensile testing device through the cooperation of the end 8 of the tensile flange 1 and the clip for testing.

[0040] Although the above describes the illustrative specific embodiments of the present invention to facilitate technical personnel in this technical field to understand the present invention, and it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments, for ordinary technical personnel in this technical field, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the attached claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations conceived using the present invention are protected.
