[0028] In some embodiments, the clamp 6 includes a driving cylinder 61, and telescopic rods are provided at both ends of the driving cylinder 61. A clamp 62 is provided on the telescopic rod. The two clamps 62 can be assembled into a whole plate. The two clamps 62 are closed by the driving of the driving cylinder 61, thereby clamping the falling and rebounding ball 41.

[0029] In some embodiments, a fixing rod 11 is provided on the driving cylinder 61 and the fixing seat 1, and an adjusting block 12 is sleeved on the fixing rod 11. The adjusting block 12 can slide on the fixing rod 11, and a bolt is provided on the adjusting block 12, and the bolt abuts against the fixing rod 11; an extension rod 13 is provided on the adjusting block 12, and the driving cylinder 61 is fixed on the extension rod 13. By adjusting the bolt, the fixing and sliding of the adjusting block 12 on the fixing rod 11 are achieved, thereby achieving the adjustment of the height of the extension rod 13, and further achieving the adjustment of the distance between the clamp 6 and the sample to be tested.

[0030] In some embodiments, the clamping plate 62 is vertically provided with a groove plate 63, which can enhance the stability of the clamping plate 62 in clamping the falling ball 41, and at the same time increase the edge height of the clamping plate 62 to prevent the falling ball 41 from falling from the edge of the clamping plate 62 and impacting other positions of the sample to be tested.

[0031] In some embodiments, buffer sheets are provided on the top surface of the clamping plate 62 and on the end surfaces of the clamping plates 62 close to each other to reduce the impact force between the falling ball 41 and the clamping plate 62 and between the two clamping plates 62 when clamping the falling ball 41.

[0032] In some embodiments, the test piece 4 includes a lifting rod 42, which is connected to the lifting device 3. An electromagnet 43 is provided at the bottom of the lifting rod 42, and a falling ball 41 is provided at the bottom of the electromagnet 43. The falling ball 41 can be a steel ball. When the electromagnet 43 is powered on, it is magnetic and can fix the falling ball 41. When the electromagnet 43 is powered off, the magnetism disappears and the falling ball 41 performs free fall motion.

[0033] In some embodiments, a spherical groove is provided in the middle of the electromagnet 43, and the falling ball 41 is provided in the spherical groove to better fix the falling ball 41 and improve the accuracy of the landing point of the falling ball 41 on the sample to be tested.

At the same time, a positioning light can be formed on the sample to be tested to improve the accuracy of the landing point, and the falling time of the falling ball 41 can be measured and calculated. It is connected to the control system and the starting time of the driving cylinder 61 is judged by the falling time, so as to timely clamp the falling ball 41 after rebounding to avoid secondary impact of the falling ball 41.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting device 3 includes a lifting frame 31 fixed on the fixed seat 1, and a lifting motor 32 is provided on the top of the lifting frame 31. A transmission part is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 32, and the transmission part is connected to the screw rod 33. The transmission part can be a worm wheel and a worm that mesh with each other. The worm is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 32, and the turbine sleeve is provided on the screw rod 33. Through the transmission of the transmission part, the lifting motor 32 can drive the screw rod 33 to rotate; the top and bottom of the screw rod 33 are both rotatably connected to the lifting frame 31, and a lifting block 34 is screwed on the screw rod 33, and a test piece 4 is provided on the lifting block 34; the lifting device 3 also includes two sliding rods 35, and a sliding slider 36 is provided on the sliding rod 35. The two sliders 36 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the lifting block 34.

[0035] The lifting motor 32 is started, driving the screw rod 33 to rotate. Due to the sliding between the slider 36 and the slide rod 35, the lifting block 34 is restricted to rotate with the screw rod 33, thereby converting the rotation of the screw rod 33 into vertical movement of the lifting block 34, thereby realizing the change in height of the test piece 4 to meet the test requirements of different heights.

[0036] In some embodiments, the moving device 5 includes a lateral moving component 51, which is arranged on the fixed base 1. The lateral moving component 51 is provided with a longitudinal moving component 52, and the longitudinal moving component 52 is provided with a firmware platform 2. Through the mutual cooperation of the lateral moving component 51 and the longitudinal moving component 52, the position of the firmware platform 2 on the fixed base 1 is adjusted, so that the falling ball 41 can be aligned with different positions of the sample to be tested on the firmware platform 2, thereby adapting to the testing of samples of different sizes or performing multi-point impact tests.

[0037] The structures of the transverse moving component 51 and the longitudinal moving component 52 can be the same, and both can include a fixed box, a moving motor is provided on one side of the fixed box, a moving groove is provided in the fixed box, a screw is connected to the output shaft of the moving motor, the screw is provided in the moving groove, and is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the moving groove, a moving block is screwed on the screw, and the moving block can be connected to the longitudinal moving component 52 and the firmware platform 2. The moving motor rotates, driving the screw to rotate. Since the moving block is fixedly connected to the longitudinal moving component 52 or the firmware platform 2, the moving block cannot rotate, thereby converting the rotation of the screw into movement of the moving block on the screw, thereby realizing the movement of the longitudinal moving component 52 or the firmware platform 2.

[0038] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0039] During operation, first fix the sample to be tested on the firmware platform 2, lift the test piece 4 in the test piece 4 to the set height through the lifting device 3, adjust the horizontal moving component 51 and the vertical moving component 52 so that the falling point of the falling ball 41 is aligned with the test point of the sample to be tested, and use the bolts and the adjustment block 12 to make the clamping plate 62 be located at the set height above the sample to be tested.

[0040] Then, electromagnet 43 is energized to attract and hold falling ball 41, keeping it stationary. When the power is turned off, electromagnet 43 releases falling ball 41, causing it to freely fall and impact the test sample on fixture platform 2. After the impact, falling ball 41 rebounds, and a photoelectric sensor detects a signal, immediately triggering the action of clamp 6. Cylinder 61 drives clamping plate 62 to quickly close, clamping the rebounded falling ball 41.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
