[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0031] The flexural recovery property of prepregs indicates their ability to return to their original shape after being subjected to external forces, i.e., their ability to repair damage after bending. It is an important parameter representing the performance of prepregs. Understanding the flexural recovery property of prepregs can provide a basis for optimizing production processes and improving product quality and performance. However, there is currently no dedicated device for testing the flexural recovery property of prepregs.

[0032] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a bending recovery performance testing device. A clamping module, comprising a support platform and clamping components, clamps one end of the sample to be tested. A bending module, slidably connected to a base, works in conjunction with the support platform to bend the sample. The device features a simple structure, is easy to operate, and improves the testing efficiency and accuracy of bending recovery performance.

[0033] The bending recovery performance testing apparatus provided in this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 3 The x-axis direction is the horizontal direction, which is also the length direction of the base 100; the y-axis direction is the width direction of the base 100; and the z-axis direction is the vertical direction, which is also the height direction of the base 100.

[0035] An exemplary embodiment of this application provides a bending recovery performance testing apparatus, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bending recovery performance testing device includes a base 100, a clamping module 200, and a bending module 300. The clamping module 200 includes a support platform 210 and a clamping member 220. The bottom surface of the support platform 210 is fixed on the base 100, and the clamping member 220 is disposed on the top surface of the support platform 210. The clamping member 220 and the support platform 210 cooperate to clamp one end of the sample to be tested. The bending module 300 is slidably connected to the base 100 so that it can move horizontally, approach or move away from the preset side wall surface 2110. When the bending module 300 moves toward the support platform 210, it can bend the sample to be tested to fit against the support surface. The preset side wall surface 2110 of the support platform 210 forms the support surface for the sample to be tested.

[0036] The bending recovery performance testing device in this embodiment is used as follows: One end of the sample to be tested is clamped between the clamping member 220 and the support platform 210. At this time, the bending module 300 is not in contact with the sample to be tested, and the unclamped end of the sample hangs down naturally under the action of gravity. The bending module 300 is slid towards the preset side wall 2110, and the bending module 300 contacts the naturally hanging end of the sample to be tested. The distance between the preset side wall 2110 and the bending module 300 in the x-axis direction is recorded as follows. L; Continue to slide the bending module 300 towards the preset side wall 2110, bending the sample to be tested until it fits against the preset side wall 2110. After a set time period, move the bending module 300 away from the preset side wall 2110. The sample to be tested will recover. At this time, slide the bending module 300 until it contacts the naturally drooping end. Record the distance M between the preset side wall 2110 and the bending module 300 in the x-axis direction at this time. The bending recovery rate P of the sample to be tested is P = M / L * 100%.

[0037] In this embodiment, a clamping module 200, including a support platform 210 and a clamping member 220, is used to clamp one end of the sample to be tested. A bending module 300, which is slidably connected to the base 100, cooperates with the support platform 210 to bend the sample to be tested. The bending module 300 can also be used to determine the end position of the sample to be tested when measuring distance. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and improves the testing efficiency of bending recovery performance.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, guide rails 110 are respectively provided on both sides of the base 100. The guide rails 110 extend in the horizontal direction, that is, the length direction of the base 100. The bending module 300 is slidably connected to the guide rails 110 on both sides of the base 100. The guide rails 110 play a guiding role in the sliding of the bending module 300.

[0039] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1The bending module 300 includes a slider 310 and a pressure plate 320. The slider 310 is slidably connected to the guide rail 110, and the pressure plate 320 is disposed on the slider 310. The plane of the pressure plate 320 is parallel to the preset side wall 2110 of the support platform 210. By setting the pressure plate 320 to cooperate with the support platform 210, the force applied to the prepreg can be more uniform, ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the height direction of the base 100 (i.e., the z-axis direction in the figure), the top surface of the pressure plate 320 is higher than the top surface of the support platform 210. With this design, when the bending module 300 begins to bend the sample to be tested, even if the degree of natural drooping of the unclamped end of the prepreg is relatively low, it can still ensure that the pressure plate 320 is in contact with the prepreg. This ensures that the sample to be tested can be bent directly by moving the bending module 300, without the need for external force to assist in the deformation of the sample to be tested (such as manual downward pressing) to ensure that the sample to be tested is in contact with the pressure plate 320.

[0041] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 In the width direction of the base 100 (i.e., the y-axis direction in the figure), the width of the pressure plate 320 is greater than or equal to the width of the support platform 210. This design ensures that the entire portion of the sample under test in the width direction is subjected to the interaction force between the pressure plate 320 and the preset side wall 2110, thereby achieving bending and ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side of the pressure plate 320 that faces the preset side wall 2110 is a smooth plane, and the preset side wall 2110 is also a smooth plane. This ensures that the sample under test is only bent at the corner of the support platform 210, and not at other locations, thus ensuring the accuracy of the bending recovery rate calculation.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connection surface between the top surface of the support platform 210 and the preset side wall surface 2110 has a rounded corner structure. When bending the sample to be tested, the rounded corner structure of the connection surface can ensure that the sample to be tested does not develop creases while performing bending recovery performance testing, and the sample to be tested can be used directly afterwards, saving costs.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bending recovery performance testing device also includes a first scale and a second scale. The first scale is set on the top surface of the support platform 210, and the second scale is set on the preset side wall 2110 of the support platform 210. The first scale extends along the x-axis direction, and the second scale extends along the z-axis direction.

[0045] By setting the first and second scales, the lengths of the clamped end and the bent end of the sample can be determined more accurately. This facilitates variable control when testing multiple samples and ensures the accuracy of the test results. Additionally, a fourth scale can be set at the connection surface of the rounded corner structure; this is not limited here.

[0046] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The bending recovery performance testing device also includes two third scales 120, which are arranged opposite each other on the base 100 along the width direction of the base 100, and both third scales 120 extend horizontally. By setting the third scales 120, the length of the sample before and after bending can be determined by the position of the pressure plate 320 opposite to the preset side wall surface 2110, which is simple in structure.

[0047] In another embodiment, displacement sensors can be set on the pressure plate 320 and the preset side wall surface 2110 to measure the length of the sample before and after bending. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and all of them are within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the top surface of the support platform 210 is provided with a threaded hole, and the clamping member 220 has a cuboid structure with a through hole. The fastener 230 passes through the through hole and engages with the threaded hole on the support platform 210 to clamp the sample to be tested. At least one fastener 230 is provided; in this embodiment, two fasteners 230 are provided. Correspondingly, two threaded holes and two through holes are also provided at intervals along the y-axis. During clamping, the sample to be tested can be placed between the two threaded holes on the support platform 210, and then the clamping member 220 is placed on the sample, aligning the through hole on the clamping member 220 with the threaded hole on the support platform 210, and then fixed by the fastener 230.

[0049] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The slider 310 can slide and connect with the slide rail, and can also be engaged with the slide rail. Therefore, when the sample to be tested is bent for a preset time period, the pressure plate 320 can continuously apply force to the sample. The engagement between the slider 310 and the slide rail can be achieved through a locking device, or other structures, which are not limited here.

[0050] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The length of the prepreg in the x-axis direction is at least greater than the length of the support 210 in the x-axis direction to ensure sufficient length for bending; the width of the prepreg in the y-axis direction is less than the width of the support 210 in the y-axis direction to ensure that the fastener 230 can fit with the threaded hole through the through hole.

[0051] The process of testing the bending recovery rate of prepreg using the above-mentioned bending recovery performance testing device is as follows:

[0052] Step 1: Clamping. Place one end of the sample to be tested between the two threaded holes on the support platform 210, and then place the clamping component 220 on the sample to be tested, aligning the through hole on the clamping component 220 with the threaded hole on the support platform 210, and fix it with the fastener 230 to achieve clamping; at this time, the unclamped end of the sample to be tested hangs down naturally under the action of gravity, and the bending module 300 does not contact the sample to be tested.

[0053] Step 2: Bending. Slide the pressure plate 320 towards the preset side wall 2110, so that the bending module 300 contacts the naturally drooping end of the sample to be tested. Read and record the distance L between the preset side wall 2110 and the plane containing the pressure plate 320 in the x-axis direction using the third scale 120. Continue to slide the pressure plate 320 towards the preset side wall 2110, bending the sample to be tested until it fits against the preset side wall 2110. After fixing the position of the pressure plate 320 with the locking device for a set time period, move the bending module 300 away from the preset side wall 2110 by a length greater than L, and wait for the sample to recover.

[0054] Step 3: Calculate the bending recovery rate. After the sample recovers, slide the pressure plate 320 until it contacts the naturally drooping end, and record the distance M between the preset side wall surface 2110 and the plane where the pressure plate 320 is located in the x-axis direction; the bending recovery rate P of the sample is P = M / L * 100%.

[0055] Step 4: Repeat the above steps to obtain the bending recovery rate of multiple test samples in the same batch of products, calculate the average, and the final average value represents the bending recovery performance of the prepreg in that batch.

[0056] The bending recovery performance testing device provided in this application clamps one end of the sample to be tested by setting a clamping module 200 including a support platform 210 and a clamping member 220. By setting a bending module 300 slidably connected to the base 100, it cooperates with the support platform 210 to achieve bending of the sample to be tested. The bending module 300 can also play a role in determining the end position of the sample to be tested when measuring distance. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and improves the testing efficiency of bending recovery performance.
