Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of railway spring bar detection, in particular to a fracture detection device for a spring bar fatigue testing machine. Background Art

[0002] High-speed rail is the main means of transportation in my country, and railway spring clips are important components related to the safe operation of high-speed rail. Railway spring clips are used to buckle railway tracks. The bending and twisting deformation of the spring clips generate buckling pressure, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the rails and ensuring the safety of rail vehicles. On the railway track, there will be multiple spring clips within one meter (the specific number is related to the specific spring clips), and they need to be replaced, so the use of spring clips is very large.

[0003] Since the contact between train wheels and rails is rigid, vibration is inevitable. The special elastic structure of the spring bar enables it to absorb the impact energy generated by the passing vehicle, achieving the effect of shock absorption. Therefore, the vibration resistance of railway bounce is extremely important. For this purpose, a spring bar fatigue tester fracture inspection device is required.

[0004] Currently, when conducting a 1000Hz high-frequency fatigue test on railway spring clips, the clips are usually placed on a fatigue testing machine and subjected to high-frequency, low-amplitude cyclic loading to detect the fatigue performance of the material under high stress until the clips break and the test data is recorded. Currently, railway spring clip fracture detection is usually performed manually or through visual solutions using video recognition. However, in actual use, when the clip breaks, flying chips may fly out, and manual recognition may be dangerous. Video recognition is expensive and has low recognition accuracy. Therefore, a fracture inspection device for a spring clip fatigue testing machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a fracture detection device for a spring bar fatigue testing machine, which aims to improve the problems of high cost and low recognition accuracy of spring bar fracture detection in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a fracture inspection device for a spring bar fatigue testing machine, comprising a specimen seat, the top of the specimen seat is fixedly connected to a fixed plate by a fixing bolt, the fixed plate is arranged in a Z shape with two horizontal plates inner sides fixedly connected by a vertical plate, an annular slide groove is arranged on the bottom surface of the fixed plate, four groups of annular slide grooves are arranged, and the four groups of annular slide grooves are equidistantly distributed on the bottom surface of the fixed plate and form a circle, a rounded slide groove is arranged on the top surface of the fixed plate, a proximity switch is arranged inside the rounded slide groove, and the proximity switch is located above the highest point of the test spring bar, a limit block is arranged on the top of the specimen seat, and a test spring bar is placed inside the limit block.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The proximity switch includes a switch housing, the outer periphery of which is slidably connected to the inside of the rounded sliding groove, a threaded groove is provided on the outer periphery of the switch housing, a lock nut is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded groove, and a sensor is provided at the bottom of the switch housing.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] A gasket is provided between the inner wall of the top end of the fixing bolt and the inner wall of the bottom end of the fixing plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The outer periphery of the fixing bolt is slidably connected to the inside of the annular sliding groove.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The front end of the test spring bar is placed on the top end of the sample seat.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] Two groups of anti-loosening nuts are provided, and the inner sides of the two groups of anti-loosening nuts are in contact with the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate above the fixing plate.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The sensor is located above the highest point of the test spring bar.

[0019] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In the present invention, by arranging the specimen holder, the fixing plate and the proximity switch, the position of the proximity switch is made relative to the high point of the test spring bar. When fatigue testing is performed until the test spring bar breaks, the high point of one side of the test spring bar leaves the measuring range of the proximity switch. At this time, the proximity switch cannot detect the high point of the test spring bar, thereby terminating the test and achieving high detection accuracy.

[0021] 2. In the present invention, by providing an annular chute and a rounded chute and loosening the fixing bolts and the anti-loosening nut, the position of the proximity switch can be adjusted so that the proximity switch can be aligned with the high point of the test spring bar, thereby conveniently detecting test spring bars of different models and sizes.

The top end of sample seat 1 is provided with limit block 8, and test spring bar 9 is placed in the inside of limit block 8, and the front end of test spring bar 9 is placed on the top end of sample seat 1, when fatigue testing machine starts to work, fatigue testing machine can carry out high-frequency, low-amplitude cyclic vibration load on the middle part of test spring bar 9 until test spring bar 9 breaks.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , proximity switch 7 includes switch housing 71 bearing and fixing equipment, and switch housing 71 is slidably connected in the inside of round corner slide groove 6, so as to adjust the position of proximity switch 7. Threaded groove 72 is formed in the outer periphery of switch housing 71, and locknut 73 having a fixed clamping function is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of threaded groove 72, and locknut 73 is provided with two groups, and the inner side of two groups of locknut 73 is in contact with the upper and lower sides of the upper horizontal plate of fixed plate 4, and the position of locknut 73 clamping fixed plate 4 is adjusted, so that the height of the bottom of proximity switch 7 can be adjusted, and sensor 74 is arranged at the bottom of switch housing 71, and sensor 74 is located above the highest point of test spring bar 9, when test spring bar 9 breaks due to high-frequency vibration, the high point of test spring bar 9 is out of the measurement range of sensor 74, and a signal is sent to the test system, so as to end the test.

[0030] Working Principle: To test the test spring bar 9, center the test spring bar 9 on the limit block 8 and loosen the fixing bolt 2.

Then, rotate the locknut 73 to slide the proximity switch 7 so that it is aligned with the highest point of the test spring bar 9. Then, rotate the upper locknut 73 to adjust the position of the sensor 74 so that it is close to the highest point of the test spring bar 9 but not in contact with it.

When the specimen breaks, one of the two high points of the test spring bar 9 will inevitably be out of the measuring range of the proximity switch 7. At this time, the proximity switch 7 sends a signal to the 1000Hz spring bar fatigue testing machine system, and the host stops according to the signal to complete the test.
