Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of civil engineering and construction technology, and specifically relates to a high-precision tensile testing device for dog bone specimens. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete, as one of the most important materials in modern civil engineering structures, is a multiphase composite material with a highly complex failure mechanism. Concrete has relatively weak tensile strength, making its tensile properties one of the most crucial mechanical properties. Currently, the uniaxial tensile test on dog-bone specimens is a commonly used test for measuring the tensile strength of concrete. This test can easily determine the stress-strain relationship of concrete and accurately reflect its tensile strength. However, in existing uniaxial tensile testing apparatuses for dog-bone specimens, the displacement gauge clamps are fixed to the dog-bone specimen, which is prone to relative slippage and stress concentration, leading to inaccurate displacement-strain calculations. Furthermore, it is difficult to determine whether the plane at the variable cross-section of the dog-bone specimen is perpendicular to the displacement gauge's measuring line, also resulting in inaccurate strain measurements. In addition, the displacement gauge must be re-fixed each time the dog-bone specimen is changed, making it impossible to guarantee that the upper and lower clamps of the displacement gauge clamp remain horizontally parallel during each installation. This significantly increases the operational difficulty and cannot guarantee the accuracy of strain measurements. Finally, the displacement gauge is fixed at a single point, which is difficult to keep stationary during actual tensile tests, causing the displacement gauge to wobble back and forth and side to side, thus leading to inaccurate measurement data. There is a lack of a high-precision tensile testing device for dog bone specimens in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a high-precision tensile testing device for dog bone specimens to address the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A high-precision tensile testing device for dog bone specimens includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp, which are respectively clamped at both ends of a dog bone specimen. The upper and lower clamps are fixedly connected to the fixed end and tensile end of a universal tensile testing machine, respectively. The device also includes an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate. An upper mounting groove is formed on the upper mounting plate, and the upper clamp is fixedly connected to the upper mounting groove. An upper clamp is bolted into the upper mounting groove, thereby limiting the movement of the dog bone specimen and preventing it from breaking off from the specimen. One side of the fixture extends out, and a lower mounting groove is provided on the lower mounting plate. A lower clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower mounting groove by bolts. The lower mounting plate is clamped onto the dog bone specimen by cooperating with the lower clamping plate. Notches are provided on both sides of the upper mounting plate. L-shaped plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper mounting plate. The long end of the L-shaped plate is perpendicular to the upper mounting plate. The displacement gauge housing is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate by bolts. The displacement gauge housing is clamped between the L-shaped plate and the upper surface of the upper mounting plate. The displacement gauge's push rod passes through the notch and is fixedly connected to the lower mounting plate.

[0006] Furthermore, tubular levels are provided on both the upper and lower mounting plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the two displacement gauges are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper mounting plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0009] This utility model fixes the upper clamp, upper mounting plate and L-shaped plate of the specimen, and fixes the displacement meter between the upper mounting plate and the L-shaped plate. After the displacement meter is installed, it does not need to be reinstalled when the dog bone specimen is replaced, which improves the experimental efficiency. At the same time, it helps to ensure the horizontal state of the upper mounting plate and the perpendicularity of the displacement meter measuring line to the variable cross-section plane of the dog bone specimen, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement experimental data.

[0010] In this invention, the displacement gauge is mounted between the upper mounting plate and the L-shaped plate. The mounting plate and the L-shaped plate limit and fix the displacement gauge, which helps to ensure the stability of the displacement gauge.

[0011] This invention fixes the upper mounting plate to the upper clamp of the specimen, so that it does not come into contact with the dog bone specimen. This avoids the upper mounting plate from generating additional gravity, stress concentration and friction on the dog bone specimen, thus improving the accuracy of the experiment. The lower mounting plate and the lower clamp are fixedly clamped at the lower cross section of the dog bone specimen, which can accurately measure the displacement of the specimen and distinguish it from the displacement of the cross beam of the testing machine, thus improving the accuracy of the experiment.

[0012] In this invention, an upper clamping plate is fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate by bolts. However, the upper clamping plate and the upper mounting plate do not exert clamping force on the dog bone specimen. They only limit the dog bone specimen to prevent it from running out from one side of the clamping plate after being pulled apart and subjected to sudden changes in force.

[0013] This utility model has tubular leveling instruments on both the upper and lower mounting plates to detect whether they are on the horizontal line. Attached Figure Description

A lower mounting plate 5 has a lower mounting groove 8 on one side, and a lower clamping plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower mounting groove 8 by bolts. The lower mounting plate 5 is clamped onto the dog bone specimen 3 by cooperating with the lower clamping plate 9. A notch 10 is provided on both sides of the upper mounting plate 4, and an L-shaped plate 11 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper mounting plate 4. The long end of the L-shaped plate 11 is perpendicular to the upper mounting plate 4. The L-shaped plate 11 is fixedly connected to the housing of the displacement gauge 12 by bolts. The housing of the displacement gauge 12 is clamped between the L-shaped plate 11 and the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 4. The top rod of the displacement gauge 12 passes through the notch 10 and is fixedly connected to the lower mounting plate 5.
