The fixing portion 102 is connected to the base plate 20. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the shapes of the protrusion 101 and the fixing portion 102, as long as they can meet the technical concept of the present application, that is, the protrusion 101 can be connected to the testing machine, and the fixing portion 102 can be connected to the base plate 20. For example, Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 101 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the fixing portion 102 is a cube.

[0025] One end 301 of the interlaminar strength test specimen 30 is fixed to the base plate 20, which is fixed to the fixing portion 102 via a detachable structure. In this embodiment of the present application, the end 301 can be fixed to the base plate 20 using structural adhesive. In this embodiment of the present application, the use of a detachable structure to fix the base plate 20 to the fixing portion 102 and the end 301 to the base plate 20 facilitates replacement of the test specimen. In addition, the entire base plate 20 and the test specimen 30 can be replaced, simplifying the operation.

In the embodiment of the present application, the number of through holes 201 is the same as the number of threaded holes 103, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the through holes 201 and the threaded holes 103.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of through holes 201 and the number of threaded holes 103 are not limited, as long as the bottom plate 20 can be fixed on the fixing portion 102. Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, four threaded holes 103 and four through holes 201 are provided.

[0029] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the bolt 202 may be a hexagon socket bolt 2021, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0030] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the length of the head of the bolt 202 is greater than the diameter of the through hole 201 and the diameter of the threaded hole 103 .

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the base plate 20 is secured to the fixing portion 102 using bolts 202 and threaded holes 103. This allows for direct removal and installation of the bolts 202 at the designated location, eliminating the need for assembly on the end face of the test specimen 30. This eliminates the need for interference zone obstructions and interference zone avoidance surfaces, allowing for free replacement of the base plate 20. Furthermore, the entire base plate 20 and test specimen 30 can be replaced, simplifying the process. This facilitates assembly and disassembly.

Figure 1 As shown, the axial center of the closed groove 203 is aligned with the axial center of the base plate 20, and the axial center of the base plate 20 is aligned with the axial center of the fixing portion 102, so that the axial center of the closed groove 203 is aligned with the axial center of the fixing portion 102. The axial center of the closed groove 203 is aligned with the axial center of the fixing portion 102, and the positioning sleeve 401 is assembled with the closed groove 203, which can make the positioning of the test specimen 30 centered, that is, the axial center of the test specimen 30 is aligned with the axial center of the fixing portion 102, and the test specimen 30 is fixed at the center position of the fixing portion 102, reducing the bending moment generated when testing the interlayer strength, thereby improving the accuracy of the interlayer strength test. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the axial center is the center of the symmetry axis.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the positioning sleeve 401 is used to ensure that the test specimen 30 and the clamping member 10 are aligned, thereby preventing errors caused by positioning errors and ensuring that the final interlaminar strength results are accurate.

[0038] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the end portion 301 includes a positioning cylinder, such as Figure 2 As shown, each end 301 includes a cylindrical section. Thus, accurate positioning is ensured without affecting the test. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the height of the positioning cylinder included in the end 301 can be determined according to the specific situation.

[0039] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixing portion 102 includes a plurality of threaded holes 103, and the bottom plate 20 includes a plurality of through holes 201, and the plurality of threaded holes 103 and the plurality of through holes 201 are all located on the same arc and are distributed at equal intervals.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing portion 102 has a groove 104 on one side away from the protrusion 101, and four threaded holes 103 are located in the groove 104. The size and shape of the groove 104 are adapted to the size and shape of the bottom plate 20. The depth of the groove 104 is equal to the thickness of the bottom plate 20. After the bottom plate 20 is installed in the groove 104, the groove 104 is filled. Figure 3 shown.

[0042] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the two end portions 301 of the test specimen 30 are respectively placed in the positioning sleeves 401 on the two base plates 20, and the ends of the test specimen 30 are fixed to the base plates 20 by structural adhesive, and the processed whole piece (the structural adhesive fixes the end face of the base plate 20 and the test specimen 30 and positions the whole piece) is installed to the clamp 10 by the hexagon socket bolts 2021; when replacing the specimen, first remove the eight hexagon socket bolts 2021 with a hexagonal wrench, then take out the tested base plate 20, positioning sleeves 401 and test specimen 30, and install the processed whole piece to the clamp 10 to complete the replacement.

[0043] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application further provide a test specimen for interlaminar strength.

Figure 2 As shown, the test specimen 30 includes two symmetrical parts, each of which is a cone-shaped cylinder. The cone-shaped cylinder has a cross section that gradually decreases or increases from one end to the other, and both end surfaces are planes without a common vertex.

[0045] The test specimen is a tapered cylinder. During axial tensile testing, the strain in the working section of the specimen varies uniformly. During the test, the center of the cylinder is the area of ​​stress concentration. Due to the symmetrical structure of the test specimen, multiple strain sensing components can be attached axially to the center of the cylinder, based on the taper variation and center thickness. These components are only subjected to positive axial pressure, ensuring accurate transmission of the applied strain. By analyzing the data measured by these multiple strain sensing components and eliminating nonlinear errors, the validity of the data can be accurately compared, improving data accuracy and enabling more precise measurement of the interlaminar strength of the test specimen.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, a new test specimen is used to obtain more specific experimental results.

[0050] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the strain detection component may be a strain gauge.

[0051] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above. However, the present application is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present application, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0052] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner unless there is any contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this application will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0053] In addition, the various implementation methods of the present application may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present application, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed in the present application.
