Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flexible component processing machinery, specifically to a flexible component mechanical testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Tensile testing is a test method for determining the properties of materials under axial tensile load. Based on tensile testing, tensile performance indicators such as elastic limit, elongation, elastic modulus, proportional limit, reduction of area, tensile strength, yield point, and yield strength are obtained.
[0003] The current standard tensile testing procedure for flexible materials is as follows: a) Identify the sample to be tested; b) Place the sample vertically in the center of the two clamps of the tensile testing machine, visually ensuring verticality; c) Activate the upper pneumatic clamp to clamp the upper end of the sample; d) Allow the sample to naturally become vertical under gravity, then activate the lower pneumatic clamp to clamp the lower end of the sample; e) Start the tensile testing machine to perform the tensile test; f) Collect the tensile testing machine data. Steps b, c, and d require manual operation. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often results in misaligned, non-vertically aligned, or improperly positioned samples, which are the main reasons for the current low testing efficiency and poor yield.

[0010] The first rotating part and the second rotating part are rotatably connected, such that the first clamping part and the second clamping part have a clamping state that is close to each other and a decompression state that is far apart from each other.
[0011] Optionally, the flexible component mechanical testing fixture further includes a torsion spring, which is disposed at the connection between the first rotating part and the second rotating part;
[0012] When the first operating part and / or the second operating part are brought closer together by an external force, the torsion spring is in a torsional energy storage state, and the first clamping part and the second clamping part are in a decompression state; when the external force on the first operating part and / or the second operating part is removed, the first clamping part and the second clamping part can move closer together under the action of the torsional potential energy of the torsion spring to be in the clamping state.
[0013] Optionally, the second clamping part includes a clamping head and a transition section connecting the clamping head and the second rotating part.

A sample (such as a flexible component) can be placed in the clamping area and clamped and fixed by the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. Furthermore, a first positioning part is provided in the clamping area, and the first positioning part has a positioning surface facing the first direction. When placing the sample, the axial side (one side in the length direction) of the sample can be placed against the positioning surface, thereby ensuring the position of the sample within the clamping area, thus ensuring the perpendicularity of the sample on the testing machine, and making the upper and lower ends of the sample more vertically aligned. Moreover, a second positioning part is provided outside the clamping area, located on both sides along the second direction outside the clamping area, i.e., at both ends of the sample's axial direction.

[0032] This utility model provides a mechanical testing fixture 100 for flexible parts, which is suitable for clamping and fixing a sample (such as a flexible plate) so that the testing machine can perform a tensile test on the sample.
[0033] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the flexible component mechanical testing fixture 100 includes a first clamping plate 1 and a second clamping plate 2 rotatably connected. A clamping area is formed between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. The clamping area is suitable for placing a flexible component therein. A first positioning part 111 is provided in the clamping area. The first positioning part 111 has a positioning surface facing a first direction. A second positioning part 112 is provided on both sides of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 outside the clamping area along a second direction, which are perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
[0034] In this embodiment, a clamping area is formed between the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. A sample (such as a flexible component) can be placed within this clamping area and clamped and fixed by the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. Furthermore, a first positioning part 111 is provided within the clamping area, and the first positioning part 111 has a positioning surface facing the first direction. When placing the sample, the axial side (the side along the length direction) of the sample can be placed against the positioning surface, thereby ensuring the position of the sample within the clamping area, and thus ensuring the verticality of the sample on the testing machine. The straightness is improved, and the upper and lower ends of the sample are more vertically aligned. Furthermore, a second positioning part 112 is provided outside the clamping area. The second positioning part 112 is located on both sides of the clamping area along the second direction, that is, at both ends of the sample's axial direction. This allows the upper and lower pneumatic chucks 300 of the testing machine to be limited by the second positioning part 112, ensuring that the sample is better positioned in the middle of the upper and lower pneumatic chucks 300 after clamping the sample, making the test results more accurate and reliable. Moreover, when placing the sample, there is no need to manually adjust the position of the sample repeatedly, and the testing efficiency is also higher.
[0035] It should be noted that, in combination Figure 5 As shown, during tensile testing using the testing machine, the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and lower pneumatic chuck 300 of the testing machine are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. During testing, the specimen needs to be placed vertically between the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and lower pneumatic chuck 300 in the vertical direction, so that the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and lower pneumatic chuck 300 can better clamp the specimen at both ends of the axial direction (i.e., both ends of the specimen's length direction). It can be understood that the first positioning part 111 and the second positioning part 112 can be disposed on the first clamping plate 1 and / or the second clamping plate 2, wherein the first direction can refer to the horizontal direction of the testing machine, and the second direction refers to the vertical direction of the testing machine. The first positioning part 111 can form a horizontal position for the sample, which makes the alignment of the sample with the upper and lower pneumatic chucks 300 better. The second positioning part 112 can restrict the clamping position of the upper and lower pneumatic chucks 300, thereby making the clamping position of the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and lower pneumatic chuck 300 of the testing machine more accurate and the sample loading efficiency higher. As a result, the testing efficiency of the testing machine is higher and the test results are more accurate.
[0036] Preferably, such as Figure 3As shown, the first positioning part 111 includes a positioning protrusion 1111 disposed on the first clamping plate 1. The positioning protrusion 1111 extends along the second direction. The clamping area is located on one side of the positioning protrusion 1111. The positioning surface is formed on the positioning protrusion 1111 and faces the clamping area. The first clamping plate 1 is generally flat. The positioning protrusion 1111 protrudes from the side of the first clamping plate 1 facing the second clamping plate 2, so that when the sample is placed in the clamping area, by aligning the long side of the sample with the positioning surface of the positioning protrusion 1111, the position of the sample in the clamping area can be restricted, so that when the tensile test is performed, the sample is aligned with the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and the lower pneumatic chuck 300 in the vertical direction.
[0037] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second positioning part 112 includes two positioning protrusions 1121 disposed on the first clamping plate 1. The two positioning protrusions 1121 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the first clamping plate 1 along the second direction, and the two positioning protrusions 1121 are respectively disposed at both ends of the positioning protrusion 1111. The two positioning protrusions 1121 are respectively provided on both sides of the first clamping plate 1 in the vertical direction. When the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and the lower pneumatic chuck 300 clamp the sample, the upper pneumatic chuck 200 can be moved to abut against the upper end of the first clamping plate 1 and fit against the positioning protrusion 1121 at the upper end, and the lower pneumatic chuck 300 can be moved to abut against the lower end of the first clamping plate 1 and fit against the positioning protrusion 1121 at the lower end. This ensures better alignment of the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and the lower pneumatic chuck 300, and the sample can be better clamped in the middle of the upper pneumatic chuck 200 and the lower pneumatic chuck 300, thus ensuring the accuracy of the sample position.
[0038] For the first clamping plate 1, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping plate 1 includes a first rotating part 12, and a first clamping part 11 and a first operating part 13 respectively disposed on both sides of the first rotating part 12. The first positioning part 111 and the second positioning part 112 are both disposed on the first clamping part 11. When an external force is applied to the first operating part 13, the first clamping part 11 can be driven to rotate.
[0039] Similarly, for the second clamping plate 2, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second clamping plate 2 includes a second rotating part 22, and a second clamping part 21 and a second operating part 23 respectively disposed on both sides of the second rotating part 22. The clamping area is formed between the second clamping part 21 and the first clamping part 11. The first rotating part 12 and the second rotating part 22 are rotatably connected, such that the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 have a clamping state that is close to each other and a decompression state that is far apart from each other. Specifically, a first rotating hole is provided on the first rotating part 12, and a second rotating hole is provided on the second rotating part 22. The flexible component mechanical testing fixture 100 also includes a rotating shaft, which passes through the first rotating hole and the second rotating hole, so that the first clamping plate 1 can rotate relative to the second clamping plate 2. Furthermore, when an external force is applied to the first operating part 13 and the second operating part 23, when the first operating part 13 and the second operating part 23 approach each other, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 move away from each other to release the sample; when the first operating part 13 and the second operating part 23 move away from each other, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 can approach each other to clamp the sample.
[0040] Moreover, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flexible component mechanical testing fixture 100 also includes a torsion spring 3, which is disposed at the connection between the first rotating part 12 and the second rotating part 22. When the first operating part 13 and / or the second operating part 23 are brought closer to each other by an external force, the torsion spring 3 is in a torsional energy storage state, and the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are in a decompression state. When the external force on the first operating part 13 and / or the second operating part 23 is removed, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 can move closer to each other under the action of the torsional potential energy of the torsion spring 3 to be in the clamping state. For example, the first operating part 13 and the second operating part 23 can be manually pressed simultaneously to bring them closer together, while the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 move away from each other, thus being in a decompressed state. After the sample is placed in, the operator can release the pressure, and under the action of the torsion spring 3, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 can move closer together to be in a clamping state, automatically clamping and fixing the sample, making the operation more labor-saving and convenient.
[0041] Since the flexible component is relatively soft and easily deformable, the area of the clamping region should be relatively large to ensure more stable clamping of the sample. Preferably, the second clamping part 21 includes a clamping head 211 and a transition section 212 connecting the clamping head 211 and the second rotating part 22. The clamping head 211 and the first clamping part 11 are fitted together, and at least a portion of the transition section 212 is arc-shaped and spaced apart from the first clamping part 11. This allows the clamping head 211 to better fit the first clamping part 11, resulting in better clamping of the sample.
[0042] Preferably, the clamping head 211 is fitted to the positioning surface to better define the position of the clamping head 211 pressing against the first clamping part 11.
[0043] Moreover, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting boss 2111 is provided on the other side of the clamping head 211. The limiting boss 2111 overlaps the end face of the first clamping part 11 opposite to the positioning surface to cover the first clamping part 11, so that the clamping head 211 can better fit with the first clamping part 11 while limiting the relative position of the clamping head 211 and the first clamping part 11.
[0044] In one embodiment, a hanging part 14 is provided on the first operating part 13, and a mating part 24 is provided on the second operating part 23. The hanging part 14 and the mating part 24 are hooked and mated together to keep the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 in the decompressed state, so that no force needs to be applied to the first operating part 13 and the second operating part 23, making it easier to place the sample.
[0045] Preferably, combined with Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the hanging part 14 includes a hanging ring 141 rotatably mounted on the first operating part 13, and the cooperating part 24 includes a hook 241 rotatably mounted on the second operating part 23. The hook 241 is hooked and engaged with the hanging ring 141, such that the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are arranged at a certain interval. The hanging ring 141 is generally U-shaped, and the hook 241 includes a U-shaped connecting arm and a hook portion provided on the connecting arm. Since both the hanging ring 141 and the hook 241 can rotate, the hanging ring 141 can easily be engaged with and unlocked from the hook 241, thus making operation more convenient.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
