[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] Specific implementation method 1: See Figure 1-Figure 7 The present embodiment is described in detail. The magnetically induced strain measurement device suitable for experimental teaching described in this embodiment specifically includes an electromagnet 2, an adjustable DC regulated power supply 3, a laser displacement sensor 4, a controller 5, a power supply 6, a data processor 7, a fixture and a strain recovery device 10. The alloy sample 1 is a single crystal nickel-manganese-gallium alloy, a rectangular thin sheet with a size of 1mm×2.75mm×20mm. When the alloy sample 1 is installed, the thickness direction of the sample (thickness is 1mm) is placed vertically in the fixture along the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. The transformation temperature of the alloy sample 1 from martensite to austenite is 55°C, which meets the requirement that the sample is in a martensitic state under room temperature testing.

[0031] Electromagnet 2 is connected to an adjustable DC regulated power supply 3 via copper wire. When powered, it generates a horizontal magnetic field. Adjusting the knobs on the left and right sides of electromagnet 2 controls the magnetic field gap, and thus the magnitude of the field. The magnetic field gap can be adjusted from 0 to 20 mm. The magnetic field can reach a maximum of 2 Tesla. One end of the adjustable DC regulated power supply 3 is connected to electromagnet 2, and the other end is connected to power supply 11. The voltage is continuously adjustable from 0 to 32 V, and the output current is 0 to 10.0 A. It provides overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and overtemperature protection (OTP), which can be set as needed.

[0032] A laser displacement sensor 4 is provided directly above the alloy sample 1; the laser displacement sensor 4 is an ultra-high-speed / high-precision CMOS laser displacement sensor with an acquisition frequency of up to 50kHz and a measurement accuracy of ±1.2μm. It is fixed above the sample using a magnetic bracket, which is fixed on a desktop. The laser displacement sensor 4 detects the strain of the alloy sample 1; the laser displacement sensor 4, the controller 5, and the power supply 6 are connected in sequence; the controller 5 is connected to the laser sensing head of the laser displacement sensor 4 via a cable and is placed away from the magnetic field environment; the power supply 6 is connected to the controller 5 via a copper wire, and the power supply 6 inputs an AC voltage of 100V to 240V, an input frequency of 50 / 60Hz, an input current of 2.2A, and outputs a stable DC voltage of 24V and 6.5A; the controller 5 is also connected to a data processor 7, which collects, stores, and reads data through the PC-side configuration software LK-Navigator2, and uses Origin for data processing to draw the sample's magnetically induced strain-time curve;

[0033] The strain recovery device 10 includes a dial indicator and a base. The dial indicator is set on the base. A sample slot is set in the base. The alloy sample 1 that has magnetically induced strain is placed in the sample slot. By pressing the button on the dial indicator, the sample is completely restored to its original size by pressure. The dial indicator can intuitively display the magnetically induced strain of the sample and the process of the sample recovering its deformation after pressure is applied.

[0034] The fixture is a non-magnetic fixture to avoid affecting the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 2 and causing displacement changes.

[0035] The fixture includes an aluminum fixture 12 and a brass block 13 , and the aluminum fixture 12 is clamped in the brass block 13 .

[0036] The device further comprises a gaussmeter 8, which is arranged on one side of the electromagnet 2. A Hall probe connected to the gaussmeter 8 is placed in the magnetic field gap to detect the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 2. The gaussmeter 8 is powered by a power supply 11.

[0037] The device further comprises a camera 9 , which faces the alloy sample 1 and records the deformation process of the alloy sample 1 .

[0038] The adjustable DC regulated power supply 3 is powered by a power supply 11 .

[0039] The power supply 6 is powered by a power source 11 .

[0040] The power supply 11 is a 220V AC power supply.

[0041] The specific measurement process of the magnetic induced strain measurement device suitable for experimental teaching described in this utility model is explained as follows:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, disconnect the power cord and connect the devices. Once the connections are complete and the wiring is correct, begin the experiment. Place the sample in the strain recovery device 10 and gently place the dial indicator's measuring pointer on the sample surface, ensuring the pointer is stable and in good contact with the sample. Manually rotate the outer dial on the dial indicator until the pointer is aligned with zero. After zeroing, secure the dial to prevent it from shifting during measurement.

[0043] Turn on the switch on the back of adjustable DC regulated power supply 3 and adjust the current and voltage knobs to 32V and 10A (clockwise rotation increases the output voltage and current; counterclockwise rotation decreases them). Press and hold the current adjustment knob to lock the current; the lock indicator will illuminate, putting the power supply in CC steady-state operation. Press the OVP overvoltage protection button. Then, press the ON / OFF button. The indicator will illuminate, indicating the output function is enabled. At this point, electromagnet 2 is energized and operating.

[0044] Turn on Gaussmeter 8 and reset the reading to zero. Then place the Hall probe of Gaussmeter 8 in the magnetic field gap. The magnetic field strength is displayed on the LED screen. Adjust the knobs on the left and right sides of electromagnet 2 to reach a magnetic field strength of 1.38T. Remove the Hall probe and turn off adjustable DC regulated power supply 3.

[0045] Place alloy sample 1 in aluminum fixture 12 and within the magnetic field gap, with the sample centered at the center of the magnetic field. Connect power supply 6 to a 220V AC power source. All settings and commands are sent to controller 5 via the computer-side configuration software, LK-Navigator 2. Laser displacement sensor 4 outputs a laser beam that strikes the surface of alloy sample 1. First, observe the waveform of the received light in the software. Generally, a sharp peak in the middle is optimal, and the indicator light above laser displacement sensor 4 should illuminate green.

[0046] After completing the above debugging steps, disconnect and reconnect the power supply to officially begin testing. In the LK-Navigator2 software, set the acquisition frequency to 5 kHz and send the set value to the controller. Then, reset the measured value in the measurement display to zero. Open the data storage module and set the data storage capacity to 150,000 (i.e., the acquisition time is 30 seconds).

[0047] Click "Save Start" to start data collection. Laser displacement sensor 4 then begins collecting data. Then, press the ON / OFF button on adjustable DC regulated power supply 3 to output a constant current. Electromagnet 2 is momentarily energized to generate a magnetic field, causing alloy sample 1 to deform until data point collection is complete. Simultaneously, camera 9 captures and records the deformation process of alloy sample 1 in real time.

[0048] After the acquisition is complete, press the ON / OFF button again to turn off the magnetic field. Remove alloy sample 1 and place it in the strain recovery device 10. Gently place the measuring pointer on the sample surface. The dial indicator pointer rotates one circle clockwise, indicating that alloy sample 1 has undergone a height displacement of 1.23 mm.

[0049] Open the stored data in the LK-Navigator2 software and read out the displacement change. The laser displacement sensor records a displacement change of 1.233 mm, which is consistent with the reading on the dial indicator. Finally, gently press the button on the dial indicator until the pointer rotates counterclockwise to zero, and the sample completely returns to its original size. Repeat these steps three times.

[0050] The data was imported into the Origin plotting software. Based on the 20mm height of alloy sample 1, the displacement (unit: mm) was converted to strain. The number of collected data points was converted to time (unit: s). A strain-time curve for the sample under magnetic field drive was plotted, with time as the horizontal axis and strain as the vertical axis. The response time of the sample to magnetic field-driven strain was further determined based on the variation range. The endpoint coordinates of the variation range (t1, x1) and (t2, x2) were read from the curve; the response time Δt = t2 - t1, and the response frequency f = 1 / Δt = 1 / (t2 - t1), both in Hz. Figure 5-Figure 7 The magnetic induced strain curves under three tests are shown in Table 1. The sample size is 1mm×2.75mm×20mm. In the first test, the magnetic induced strain is 6.1%, the response time is 0.134s, and the response frequency is 7.4Hz. In the second test, the magnetic induced strain is 6.3%, the response time is 0.140s, and the response frequency is 7.1Hz. In the third test, the magnetic induced strain is 6.2%, the response time is 0.137s, and the response frequency is 7.3Hz. The test results are shown in Table 1.

The strain recovery device 10 uses pressure to completely restore the sample to its original size, and the magnetically induced strain of the sample can be intuitively displayed on the dial gauge, which is a strong proof of the strain obtained by the laser displacement sensor 4.
