Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a multifunctional loading frame, in particular to a multifunctional loading frame of a transmission type photoelasticity instrument. Background Art
[0002] Photoelasticity, also known as photoelasticity, is an experimental technique for stress analysis that combines optics and mechanics. It uses transparent materials with artificial birefringence to create models with geometric shapes similar to actual engineering structures, components, or parts. Loads similar to those of the actual component are applied to the model. Stress at the model's boundaries and internal points is calculated based on photoelastic fringes, and then converted to stress on the original component using similarity theory. Its accuracy meets engineering design requirements.
[0003] Compared to the more commonly used electrical measurement method, the photoelastic method offers the advantages of full-field and intuitive analysis, enabling rapid identification of stress concentrations and the search for optimal component geometry from a strength perspective. It can be used not only to determine surface stress distribution in two-dimensional parts but also to analyze stress distribution within three-dimensional models.
[0004] Current photoelasticity instruments used in classrooms are complex, requiring a specialized light source and corresponding convex lens assembly. The loading frame is bulky, making the instrument extremely large. Existing miniaturized transmission-type photoelasticity instruments are limited in scope, and the loading frame has a small light field, resulting in less pronounced experimental phenomena and failing to meet most experimental needs. Photoelasticity instruments equipped with loading frames with larger light fields are expensive and therefore limited in widespread use. Therefore, photoelasticity instruments urgently need an effective and rational loading device. Summary of the Invention

The bottom surface of the loading beam is equipped with a load sensor. The load sensor is connected to the computer through wired or wireless communication. The computer is connected to the servo motor. The load sensor can transmit the collected data to the computer in real time.

[0010] The working principle of this utility model:
[0011] The multifunctional loading frame of the transmission photoelasticity instrument provided by the present invention is driven by a servo motor through an output gear to rotate a transmission gear, thereby driving the rotation of a ball screw to drive the loading beam to move up and down smoothly along two columns. The loading beam drives the first loading tooling to apply a load to the test piece on the second loading tooling on the lower beam.

The load sensor is connected to the computer as a feedback device. The set force is input into the computer, and the output shaft of the servo motor drives the ball screw downward, so that the loading beam moves downward smoothly. The loading beam drives the first loading fixture to clamp the sample to be tested. When the value of the force indicator reaches the input value, the servo motor stops. If it exceeds the input value, the servo motor is controlled to reverse, thereby achieving a dynamic balance of the force value during the experiment. This loading method has high precision and stable load, and is worthy of promotion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
