[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the triaxial compression loading fixture includes a lower end plate 1 and an upper end plate 2. The lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2 have the same structure. Several mounting through holes 11 are correspondingly provided on the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2, and these holes are evenly distributed. Each mounting through hole 11 contains a bolt, and the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2 are connected by bolts. The bolts include bolts 3 and nuts 4. Bolts 3 are preferably single-ended bolts. The lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2 can be adjusted and fixed by adjusting the position of the nuts 4. The lower end plate 1 is limited and fixed by bolts 3, and the upper end plate 2 is limited and fixed by nuts 4. Thus, the specimen is clamped and fixed using the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2, allowing for thermal shock testing of ceramic specimens under axial, internal pressure, and external pressure compression conditions. The lower end plate 1, the upper end plate 2, and the bolts are all preferably made of graphite. Graphite has relatively stable physical and chemical properties at high temperatures and is suitable for specimen testing under high-temperature conditions.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, several specimen mounting slots 12 are provided between adjacent mounting through holes 11. A large strip groove 13 and a small strip groove 14 are provided in the middle of the lower end plate 1, and the large strip groove 13 and the small strip groove 14 intersect and connect in the middle. In this embodiment, preferably, three specimen mounting slots 12 are provided between adjacent mounting through holes 11, and four are provided for each mounting through hole 11 and bolt component, for a total of twelve specimen mounting slots 12 on the lower end plate 1. The length of the specimen mounting slot 12 is greater than or equal to the width of the specimen 5, and the width of the specimen mounting slot 12 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the specimen 5.
[0029] The length direction of the large strip groove 13 is perpendicular to the length direction of the small strip groove 14. The large strip groove 13 and the small strip groove 14 have the same depth, preferably half the thickness of the specimen. The large strip groove 13 and the small strip groove 14 are used to achieve thermal shock tests under internal and external pressure compression conditions. Several specimen mounting grooves 12 are distributed in a circular array around the geometric center of the lower end plate 1.
[0030] The width of the large strip groove 13 is greater than or equal to the width of the specimen 5, the width of the small strip groove 14 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the specimen 5, and the length of the large strip groove 13 and the small strip groove 14 is greater than or equal to the length of the specimen 5. The ends of the large strip groove 13, the small strip groove 14 and the specimen mounting groove 12 are all provided with arc-shaped parts 15, which facilitate the test personnel to handle and remove the specimen 5.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 2 has a thermal shock hole 16 in the middle of the lower end plate 1, which is connected to the large strip groove 13 and the small strip groove 14. Through the thermal shock hole 16 on the lower end plate 1, tests can be conducted under high-temperature gas scouring. For example, in conjunction with a high-temperature gas scouring thermal shock test device with a large span initial temperature as described in patent document CN117686368A, thermal shock tests can be performed under axial, internal pressure, and external pressure compression conditions under high-temperature gas scouring.
[0033] Working process and its principle: such as Figure 4 As shown, when conducting loading tests under internal and external pressure compression conditions, a total of three specimens 5 are required. One specimen 5 is placed in the large strip groove 13 or small strip groove 14 on the upper end plate 2, one specimen 5 is placed in the large strip groove 13 or small strip groove 14 on the lower end plate 1, and one specimen 5 is placed between the upper and lower specimens 5. Then, the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2 are tightened with bolts to fix the three specimens 5, thereby achieving loading clamping under internal and external pressure compression conditions respectively. After the three specimens 5 are fixed, strain gauges 5 are installed on the specimens 5, and the triaxial compression loading fixture can be placed in a thermal shock environment for thermal shock testing. When performing a loading test under external pressure compression conditions, the two ends of several specimens 5 are fixed to the specimen mounting grooves 12 of the upper end plate 2 and the lower end plate 1, respectively. Then, the lower end plate 1 and the upper end plate 2 are tightened by bolts to fix the specimens 5. After several specimens 5 are fixed, strain gauges 5 are installed on the specimens 5. The triaxial compression loading fixture can then be placed in a thermal shock environment for thermal shock testing.
