Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of reinforced concrete component testing, and in particular to a drop hammer impact support device for preventing beams from falling off. Background Art
[0002] A drop hammer impact tester converts the gravitational potential energy of a falling hammer into kinetic energy to impact a test specimen. It is suitable for analyzing and studying the impact resistance of various components, such as beams, columns, and pipes. It can also be used to test the horizontal impact resistance of bridge piers, shear walls, and other structures. The drop hammer impact tester operates by lifting the hammer to the desired height and then releasing it, causing it to fall freely along a guide rail and strike the test specimen at a constant speed. This converts the gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, thereby determining the damage and failure behavior of the component after the impact, as well as a series of dynamic response characteristics.

This process often causes the specimen to bounce along with the drop weight, breaking away from the supports and causing test failure. Alternatively, the specimen may bounce back and impact the supports again, affecting the test results.

[0030] A drop hammer impact tester converts the gravitational potential energy of a falling hammer into kinetic energy to impact a test specimen. It is suitable for analyzing and studying the impact resistance of various components, such as beams, columns, and pipes. It can also be used to test the horizontal impact resistance of bridge piers, shear walls, and other structures. The drop hammer impact tester operates by lifting the hammer to the desired height and then releasing it, causing it to fall freely along a guide rail and strike the test specimen at a constant speed. This converts the gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, thereby determining the damage and failure behavior of the component after the impact, as well as a series of dynamic response characteristics.
[0031] However, in actual testing, due to the rigid and fixed supports, the drop weight impacts the specimen, causing multiple rebounds. This process often causes the specimen to bounce along with the drop weight, breaking away from the supports and causing test failure. Alternatively, the specimen may bounce back and impact the supports again, affecting the test results. Therefore, to prevent the impact of beam bounce on test accuracy, a new drop weight impact support device is urgently needed to address this problem.
[0032] In this regard, the present application proposes a drop hammer impact support device that prevents the beam from jumping off. The specimen 600 is clamped and fixed by the pressure beam 400 and the hinge support 200, thereby reducing the probability of the specimen 600 bouncing and falling out under impact; and the hinge support 200 and the guide rod 300 are both hinged to the base 100, and the hinge axes of the two are coaxial. Even if the specimen 600 is bent and deformed under impact, the hinge support 200 and the guide rod 300 can also flip over according to the bending of the specimen 600, thereby maintaining continuous clamping of the specimen 600.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The drop hammer impact support device for preventing beam jumping in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 100, a hinge support 200, a guide rod 300, a pressure beam 400 and a limiter. The base 100 is the main structure of the drop hammer impact support device for preventing beam jumping, which is used to support other components of the drop hammer impact support device for preventing beam jumping and the test piece 600. The hinge support 200 is installed on the base 100 and is used to support the test piece 600. The guide rod 300 is used to connect the pressure beam 400, and the pressure beam 400 can move along the guide rod 300 and clamp the test piece 600 together with the hinge support 200. The limiter is used to limit the position of the pressure beam 400 on the guide rod 300 to prevent the pressure beam 400 from loosening during the impact of the test piece 600, thereby causing the clamping of the test piece 600 to fail.
[0034] Specifically, the base 100 is made of welded steel plates, and specifically includes an upper pressure plate 110, a lower pressure plate 120, a connecting plate 130 and a rib plate 140. The two sides of the connecting plate 130 are respectively connected to the upper pressure plate 110 and the lower pressure plate 120, and the three together form a "C"-shaped structure. The rib plate 140 is installed between the upper pressure plate 110 and the lower pressure plate 120, and is welded to the upper pressure plate 110, the lower pressure plate 120 and the connecting plate 130 as a whole. On the one hand, this steel structure has a strong structural strength and can withstand the vibration caused by the impact of the falling hammer without collapsing; on the other hand, the use of steel plates welded together can also reduce the weight of the base 100 itself, reduce material consumption, and facilitate subsequent assembly and disassembly.
[0035] Furthermore, the area of the lower pressure plate 120 is larger than that of the upper pressure plate 110, so that the lower pressure plate 120 protrudes outward compared to the upper pressure plate 110, which can increase the contact area between the lower pressure plate 120 and the ground, thereby making the base 100 more stable and less likely to tip over after being placed or connected to the ground. There are multiple ribs 140, which are evenly spaced between the upper pressure plate 110 and the lower pressure plate 120. By providing multiple ribs 140, the support strength of the base 100 can be improved. Moreover, the equidistant arrangement of the ribs 140 makes the force applied to each rib 140 more balanced, preventing individual ribs 140 from being deformed due to excessive force.
[0036] The hinged support 200 is hinged to the base 100, and its top is made of steel. The specimen 600 is placed on the hinged support 200, which is used to directly contact and support the specimen 600. The top of the hinged support 200 can be configured as a flat or curved surface to meet the support requirements of different specimens 600. The end of the guide rod 300 is hinged to the base 100. Notably, the hinge axis of the guide rod 300 is coaxial with the hinge axis of the hinged support 200, allowing the guide rod 300 to rotate coaxially with the hinged support 200.
[0037] The pressure beam 400 has a through-hole extending therethrough, through which the guide rod 300 passes. This creates a sliding connection between the pressure beam 400 and the guide rod 300, allowing the pressure beam 400 to slide along the guide rod 300. When installing the test specimen 600, the pressure beam 400 can be separated from the guide rod 300. After the test specimen 600 is installed, the guide rod 300 can be inserted into the through-hole. To prevent the pressure beam 400 from swinging freely, at least two guide rods 300 pass through the pressure beam 400, and the pressure beam 400 is provided with through-holes corresponding to the number of guide rods 300.
[0038] A pad 410 is installed at the bottom of the compression beam 400 , and the pad 410 can directly contact the test piece 600 . When the compression beam 400 is pressed against the test piece 600 , the force is transmitted through the pad 410 .
[0039] Furthermore, pad 410 is specifically an elastic member. When compression beam 400 presses against specimen 600, pad 410 deforms under pressure and fully contacts specimen 600, increasing the contact area between pad 410 and specimen 600. Furthermore, when specimen 600 is impacted by a drop hammer, vibration is transmitted through specimen 600 to pad 410. The elastic pad 410 absorbs some of the vibration, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on compression beam 400. Compared to rigid members, elastic pad 410 is less likely to loosen under vibration, thus improving its anti-loosening capability.
[0040] Furthermore, the side of the pad 410 that contacts the specimen 600 is an arc-shaped surface, so that the pad 410 and the specimen 600 are in line-surface contact. If surface-surface contact is used, after the pressure beam 400 is deformed and bent by impact, the contact surface between the pad 410 and the pressure beam 400 may change in angle, thus losing its tight fit and posing a risk of loosening under impact. Therefore, the side of the pad 410 that contacts the specimen 600 is designed to be an arc-shaped surface, so that the two maintain line-surface contact. Even if the pressure beam 400 bends under impact, the pad 410 can still maintain a stable contact relationship with the specimen 600.
[0041] The limiting member is connected to the guide rod 300 and is used to limit the position of the pressure beam 400 on the guide rod 300 and enable the pressure beam 400 to continuously apply pressure to the specimen 600. The pressure beam 400 and the hinge support 200 together clamp and fix the specimen 600.
[0042] Specifically, the stopper can be a driving device with a power source, such as a power push rod. The power push rod abuts against the pressure beam 400 and continuously outputs a force to the pressure beam 400 to press the test piece 600. The power push rod can be an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod, or a pneumatic push rod, and equipped with a corresponding power source. It is easy to understand that other forms of active driving devices can also be used, and will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The limiting member can also be a passive limiting mechanism. In this embodiment, the guide rod 300 is provided with threads, and the limiting member is specifically a nut 500. The nut 500 is adapted to the threads on the guide rod 300, thereby enabling the nut 500 to be threadedly connected to the guide rod 300. The end surface of the nut 500 is larger than the diameter of the through hole in the pressure beam 400. Therefore, when the nut 500 is tightened, the end surface of the nut 500 can abut against the pressure beam 400, thereby limiting the pressure beam 400 from sliding further.
[0044] Furthermore, there are two nuts 500, one of which abuts against the top of the pressure beam 400, and the other abuts against the bottom of the pressure beam 400. The two nuts 500 can clamp and fix the pressure beam 400, preventing the pressure beam 400 from freely moving along the guide rod 300 under impact, which would cause the clamping of the test piece 600 to fail.
[0045] Furthermore, the present beam-trap-preventing drop-hammer impact support device comprises two devices, each of which clamps and secures the two ends of the test specimen 600. In the two beam-trap-preventing drop-hammer impact support devices, the hinge axes of the two hinge supports 200 are parallel to each other, and the hinge axes of the two guide rods 300 are parallel to each other. When the test specimen 600 is deformed into a "V" shape by an impact, both the hinge supports 200 and the guide rods 300 are able to flip in accordance with the deformation of the test specimen 600, ensuring that the test specimen 600 can still be stably clamped even after deformation.
[0046] The following describes how to use the drop hammer impact support device to prevent beam jump:
[0047] S100. Loosen the nut 500 on the guide rod 300 to release the limit of the pressure beam 400;
[0048] S200. The pressure beam 400 is removed from the guide rod 300 and the angle of the hinge support 200 is adjusted to facilitate subsequent placement of the test piece 600 on top of the hinge support 200;
[0049] S300. Using a crane or other lifting equipment, the specimen 600 is moved to the top of the hinge support 200 so that the hinge support 200 supports the specimen 600;
[0050] S400. The pressure beam 400 is reinstalled on the guide rod 300;
[0051] S500. The nut 500 is reinstalled on the guide rod 300 and re-tightened so that the nut 500 abuts against the pressure beam 400, driving the pressure beam 400 to press against the specimen 600 and clamping the specimen 600 together with the hinge support 200;
[0052] S600. Complete the drop hammer impact support device to prevent the beam from jumping off the clamping fixture of the specimen 600, and start the drop hammer impact test;
[0053] S700. The drop hammer impacts the specimen 600, causing the specimen 600 to be deformed by the impact. The hinge support 200 and the guide rod 300 rotate in accordance with the deformation of the specimen 600, maintaining the clamping fixation of the specimen 600.
[0054] S800. After the experiment is completed, loosen the nut 500 and remove the pressure beam 400 from the guide rod 300. Use a crane or other lifting equipment to lift the test specimen 600 from the hinge support 200.
[0055] S900. Reinstall the pressure beam 400 and the nut 500 onto the guide rod 300, check whether there are any loose or worn components in the drop weight impact support device that prevents the beam from jumping off, and wait for the next experiment.
