Test animals or product parts are placed inside the blasting laboratory 1 for testing. One side of the blasting laboratory 1 is connected to the negative pressure storage tank 4 via a short pipe, and the other side is connected to the negative pressure storage tank 4 via a long pipe. The blasting laboratory 1, negative pressure storage tank 4, regulating device 5, and blasting device 6 together constitute the basic functional structure of the rapid blasting device in rapid blasting mode. A butterfly valve 2 and blasting device 3 are installed on the short pipe, with butterfly valve 2 located between blasting laboratory 1 and blasting device 3. Regulating device 5 and blasting device 6 are installed on the long pipe, with blasting device 6 located between blasting laboratory 1 and regulating device 5. An inflation pipeline 12 is connected to the outside of the blasting laboratory 1 for filling the blasting laboratory 1 with gas. The inflation pipeline 12 pumps the gas from the gas source into the blasting laboratory 1 using an air pump. The inflation pipeline 12 is equipped with a manual valve, a solenoid valve and a flow meter, etc.
[0022] The butterfly valve 2 is an existing electric butterfly valve, which isolates the blasting laboratory 1 from the blasting device 2 3 during the experimental preparation stage, allowing different experiments to be conducted in the blasting laboratory 1 and the blasting device 2 3 respectively.
[0023] The second blasting device 3 is similar in structure to the first blasting device 6, both consisting of a clamping device 8, a blasting component 9, an impact device 10, and a pressure-bearing shell 11. The pressure-bearing shell 11 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. In the first blasting device 6, the two openings of the pressure-bearing shell 11 are respectively connected to the blasting laboratory 1 and the adjusting device 5. In the second blasting device 3, the two openings of the pressure-bearing shell 11 are respectively connected to the blasting laboratory 1 and the second blasting device 3. The blasting component 9 is made of a pressure-resistant and brittle material (such as plexiglass) and is detachably installed inside the pressure-bearing shell 11 to partition the interior of the pressure-bearing shell 11. The clamping device 8 consists of multiple evenly distributed pressure plates. One end of each pressure plate is fixed inside the pressure-bearing shell 11 by bolts, and the other end is pressed against the blasting component 9. The impact device 10 is installed inside the pressure-bearing shell 11 and corresponds to the position of the blasting component 9. The impact device 10 can move towards the blasting component 9 under external force to shatter the blasting component 9. The impact device 10 includes a rotating shaft, a swing arm, an impact hammer, and a power device. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the pressure-bearing housing 11.

The impact hammer is installed at the other end of the swing arm and can swing closer to or further away from the explosive component 9 as the swing arm moves. An impact pin is provided on the surface of the impact hammer used to break the explosive component 9. The power device is installed outside the pressure-bearing housing 11 and can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The power device can be any one of a motor, hydraulic rod, cylinder, or electric cylinder. When a motor is used, meshing gears are installed on the rotating shaft and the motor respectively.

[0024] The pressure-bearing shell 11 of the second blasting device 3 is a square box-shaped structure made of steel plate used for pressure vessels, and then powder-coated for corrosion protection. The blasting component 9 of the second blasting device 3 is sealed at the opening of its pressure-bearing shell 11 near the negative pressure storage tank 4. The second blasting device 3, the negative pressure storage tank 4, and the blasting laboratory 1 together form the basic functional structure of the rapid blasting device in the rapid blasting mode. An inflation pipeline 2 13 is connected to the second blasting device 3 for inflating the pressure-bearing shell 11 of the second blasting device 3. The inflation pipeline 2 13 pumps the gas from the gas source into the pressure-bearing shell 11 of the second blasting device 3 using an air pump. The pressure-bearing shell 11 of the second blasting device 3 is equipped with a manual valve, a solenoid valve, and a flow meter, etc.
[0025] The pressure-bearing shell 11 of the first blasting device 6 is in the shape of a pipe, and its blasting element 9 is sealed in the middle of the pressure-bearing shell 11; the volume of the pressure-bearing shell 11 of the first blasting device 6 is smaller than the volume of the pressure-bearing shell 11 of the second blasting device 3. The blasting device 6 can be fully opened within 800ms to ensure that the air pressure of the medium-explosion laboratory 1 and the negative pressure storage tank 4 in the rapid blasting experiment reaches equilibrium within 1 to 1.5s.
[0026] The negative pressure storage tank 4 is a hollow tank made of steel plate used for pressure vessels and then sprayed with plastic for corrosion protection. A pressure gauge is installed on the negative pressure storage tank 4. The negative pressure storage tank 4 and the blasting laboratory 1 and the blasting device 2 3 are respectively set with sufficient volume ratio according to the experimental conditions to provide a stable negative pressure environment for the ultra-fast blasting device and the rapid blasting device during the experiment.
[0027] The adjustment device 5 is a valve structure used to adjust the size of the blasting channel, so as to ensure that the blasting time of the rapid blasting experiment can be adjusted between 1 and 1.5 seconds.
[0028] The vacuum equipment 7 is used to evacuate the negative pressure storage tank 4. The vacuum equipment box 7 is connected to the negative pressure storage tank 4 through a vacuum pipeline, and the low-pressure function inside the negative pressure storage tank is realized through a PLC system. The vacuum equipment box 7 includes a box body 74 and two sets of vacuuming systems installed inside the box body 74. The vacuuming system includes a vacuum pump 71, a check valve 72, and a frequency converter 73. The air inlet of the vacuum pump 71 is connected to the inside of the negative pressure storage tank 4 through a pipeline. The check valve 72 is installed on the pipeline connecting the vacuum pump 71 and the negative pressure storage tank 4, allowing gas to flow unidirectionally from the negative pressure storage tank 4 into the vacuum pump 71. The frequency converter 73 is installed inside the box body 74 to control the speed of the drive motor of the vacuum pump 71.
