[0042] One end of the rotating shaft 120 of the embodiment is also provided with a protractor 121, the protractor 121 is used for measuring the angle between the two main plates 110, so that the two main plates 110 can be conveniently adjusted to the corresponding angle of placing different composite material components 400, the impact test efficiency is improved, in other embodiments, the protractor 121 can be separately arranged, the protractor 121 is integrated with the rotating shaft 120 in the embodiment, which is more convenient and efficient when used.

[0043] Further, in order to prevent the position of the composite material component 400 from deviating during the impact test, affecting the impact test result, the two main plates 110 are respectively provided with a limiting mechanism 130, the two limiting mechanisms 130 are respectively installed on the two main plates 110, the limiting mechanism 130 can be adjusted along the direction away from and close to the rotating shaft 120, it can be understood that the limiting mechanism 130 is slidably installed on the top surface of the two main plates 110.

[0044] After placing the composite material component 400 to be impacted on the clamping groove 111, the two limiting mechanisms 130 are close to the rotating shaft 120 until contacting the composite material component 400, so as to realize further limiting and fixing of the composite material component 400, so that the composite material component 400 does not jump in the two main plates 110 during the impact test, so that the impact test result is more accurate.

[0045] Wherein, the limiting mechanism 130 of the embodiment comprises a limiting baffle 131 and a mounting clamp 132, the limiting baffle 131 is a long strip plate structure, extending along the axis of the rotating shaft 120, Figure 2As shown, the limiting baffle 131 extends in the front-rear direction, so that the limiting baffle 131 is in line contact or surface contact with the composite material member 400 to be tested, increases the contact area, so that the force distribution is uniform, improves the clamping stability, the limiting baffle 131 is perpendicular to the main plate 110, the limiting baffle 131 and the main plate 110 exert two forces perpendicular to each other on the composite material member 400, so that the composite material member 400 cannot move in the vertical direction, and since the two main plates 110 are horizontally symmetrical, the two limiting baffles 131 are horizontally symmetrical, so that the composite material member 400 cannot move in the horizontal direction, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the composite material member 400. In other embodiments, other structures and methods can be used for limiting, such as clamps, mounting holes, etc.

[0046] The mounting clip 132 of the embodiment is arranged at the front and rear ends of the limiting baffle 131 respectively, and the mounting clip 132 is provided with a clamping opening that can cooperate with the main plate 110, so that the mounting clip 132 is movably clamped on the main plate 110 and is arranged to slide in the direction of approaching and moving away from the rotating shaft 120.

[0048] The lifting assembly 200 of the embodiment is used to drive the rotating shaft 120 to move up and down, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the included angle between the two main plates 110. Specifically, the lifting assembly 200 of the embodiment includes a lifting column 210, which is located below the rotating shaft 120. The axial direction of the lifting column 210 extends upward and downward.

The lifting driving mechanism arranged on the lifting column 210 can adopt a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push, or can realize the lifting of the lifting driving end through a spiral structure or a sliding rod structure.

[0049] Further, in order to reduce the wear of the rotating shaft 120, which is a fine and critical component, in the impact test, a buffer layer 220 is arranged on the contact surface between the lifting column 210 and the rotating shaft 120. The buffer layer 220 is a ring-shaped soft member, which is attached to the outer edge shape of the lifting column 210, so as to facilitate installation. The buffer layer 220 can adopt a high-modulus rubber ring to improve the friction force. On the premise of ensuring the stability of the impact, the hard contact between the rotating shaft 120 and the lifting column 210 is avoided to cause damage. The buffer layer 220 is a consumable part, which should be connected through a quick release structure. At the same time, the rotating shaft 120 is subjected to rust-proof and lubrication treatment to improve the service life of the component.

[0050] Further, the variable impact clamp provided by the embodiment further comprises a supporting assembly 300. The supporting assembly 300 includes a plurality of supporting columns 310 and a bottom plate 320. The bottom plate 320 is located below the clamping assembly 100.

The supporting assembly 300 has a lifting support effect on the clamping assembly 100, and makes the two main plates 110 horizontally symmetrically arranged, so as to facilitate the horizontal placement of the composite member 400 to be tested. Further, in order to ensure good support effect, the supporting columns 310 are arranged in parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 120.

[0051] Wherein, the main plate 110 of the embodiment is provided with a plurality of recessed slide rails on the side opposite to the clamping groove 111, the recessed slide rails extend along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 120, the upper end of the supporting column 310 is provided with a slide block matched with the recessed slide rail, so that the supporting column 310 is slidably connected with the main plate 110 in a relative rotating manner, thereby realizing that the main plate 110 can be flexibly rotated in a larger range under the support of the supporting column 310, and the relative rotation between the two main plates 110 is not limited by the supporting column 310.

[0052] In other embodiments, in order to integrate the plurality of supporting columns 310 and make the variable impact clamp structure of the embodiment simple and integrated, the lower end of the supporting column 310 is connected to the bottom plate 320, the bottom plate 320 is horizontally arranged, and at the same time, the upper surface of the bottom plate 320 is provided with a guide rail 321 perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 120, and the lower end of the supporting column 310 is installed on the guide rail 321, so that the supporting column 310 can always keep vertical during the translation process, thereby more stably supporting the main plate 110. Moreover, since the supporting rod can be adjusted by sliding, the supporting rod can be moved by adjusting the lifting assembly 200, thereby changing the included angle between the main plates 110, which is simple and convenient to operate and can be adjusted by one hand, greatly improving the test efficiency. In other embodiments, the movable arrangement of the supporting column 310 can be realized by other structures, such as the hinge connection of the rotating shaft 120, as long as it can move to match the change of the included angle of the main plate 110 and support the main plate 110 without limiting the rotation of the main plate 110.

[0053] Further, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the main plate 110 and the supporting column 310, the above-mentioned recessed slide rail and guide rail 321 need to be treated with anti-rust and lubrication to achieve good use effect and prolong service life.
