DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] This embodiment of the invention provides a device for detecting the elastic decay resistance of spring flat steel for automotive leaf springs, comprising a spring flat steel sample A, which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the testing device includes a fixing mechanism, a power loading mechanism, a computer 1, a ball diameter gauge 2, a pressure sensor 3, and a power supply 4. The fixing mechanism includes a rectangular frame and an upper and lower support structure inside the rectangular frame. It contains several longitudinal and transverse supports. The rectangular frame includes an upper transverse support 5, a lower transverse support 5', a left longitudinal support 6, and a right longitudinal support 6'. The upper transverse support 5, the lower transverse support 5', and the upper sections of the left longitudinal support 6 and the right longitudinal support 6' correspond to form a vertical rectangular frame. The upper support structure provides support to the left and right sides of the central area of ​​sample A, while ensuring that the support points are in direct contact with sample A. The lower support structure provides support to the sample A. The left and right side supports of sample A ensure direct contact between the support points and sample A. The power loading mechanism includes a motor 7 and a guide rod 8. The motor 7 is installed at the bottom center of the lower transverse support 5' and is connected to the guide rod 8 via the motor shaft. Simultaneously, the guide rod 8 passes through the lower transverse support 5' and continues its stroke until the top of the guide rod 8 connects to the pressure sensor 3, and the pressure sensor 3 contacts the upper support structure. The ball diameter meter 2 is assembled through the guide hole at the center of the upper transverse support 5 to ensure contact with the center of sample A during testing. The ball diameter meter 2 is connected to the computer 1 via a signal line, the pressure sensor 3 is connected to the computer 1 via a signal line, the computer 1 is connected to the motor 7 via a signal line, and the motor 7 is connected to the power supply 4 via a power line.

[0018] In this embodiment 1: the upper support structure includes a short transverse support 9 and two inner support columns 10. The short transverse support 9 is supported by a guide rod 8. A pressure sensor 3 is connected at the junction of the short transverse support 9 and the guide rod 8. The synchronous pressure sensor 3 is mounted at the center of the bottom of the short transverse support 9. One end of each of the two inner support columns 10 is vertically fixed to the corresponding left and right ends of the short transverse support 9. The other ends of the two inner support columns 10 supportively contact the left and right sides of the sample A near the center area, and the two inner support columns 10 apply pressure to the sample A. The lower support structure includes a lower transverse support... The support 5' and two external support columns 11 are connected to each other. One end of the two external support columns 11 is vertically fixed to the left and right sides of the lower horizontal support 5', respectively. The other end of the two external support columns 11 is in support contact with the left and right sides of the sample A. The two external support columns 11 apply a supporting force to the sample A. The motor 7 drives the guide rod 8 to move the short horizontal support 9 to adjust the loading and adjust the force on the sample A. The force on the sample A is a four-point bending stress, and the stress points are centrally symmetrical. The central part of the sample A is uniformly bent, and the stress distribution on the outside of the sample A is uniform.

[0019] Combination Figure 1In this embodiment, a high-precision pressure sensor 3 with a sensitivity of 2.0±0.05mV / V is used to improve the measurement accuracy. The load change output by the pressure sensor 3 and the curvature change output by the spherometer 2 are input into the computer 1 through signal lines, and the corresponding application program in the computer 1 records and processes them. When the curvature change exceeds the rated range, the signal of the spherometer 2 is amplified and then input into the computer 1. The computer 1 gives instructions to the motor 7, which rotates a certain angle according to the set direction and step angle. The motor 7 drives the guide rod 8 and moves the short transverse support 9, adjusting the stress of the sample A so that the curvature remains within the rated range.

[0020] In the above device: the short transverse support 9 is required to be longer than half the length of the lower transverse support 5' but shorter than the full length of the lower transverse support 5'; the inner support column 11 is shorter than the outer support column 12; the left and right longitudinal supports 6, 6' are vertically fixed on the same horizontal plane of the workbench; the two inner support columns 10 and the two outer support columns 11, the short transverse support 9, and the sample A are left-right symmetrical with the center of the guide rod 8. The entire detection process is carried out at room temperature and the detection device is kept constant. The power supply 4 of the above device includes a direct current power supply and an alternating current stabilized power supply. The direct current power supply provides voltage for the motor. To ensure stable input voltage, an alternating current stabilizer is added to provide alternating current stabilized power supply.

[0021] The specific detection process is as follows: prepare the sample A according to the relevant technical requirements. The device detection is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the motor 7 drives the guide rod 8 and moves the short transverse support 9 to load and plastically deform the sample A, and at the same time, the sample A is stressed under four-point bending stress. Then enter the second stage, the computer 1 sets the test duration and the curvature range. During this process, the curvature of the sample A remains within the rated range. Since the motor 7 moves the guide rod 8 and the short transverse support 9, the load changes, and the pressure sensor 3 detects the stress value change of the sample A and transmits it to the computer 1. The computer 1 records and processes the data output by the pressure sensor 3 using the corresponding application program, thus obtaining the stress value change curve within the test duration.

[0022] Finally, the computer 1 processes the stress-time curve output by the application program, and then processes the stress-time curve using the appropriate application program. Typically, the slope value at a specific time point on the curve is calculated, and the resulting value represents the stress relaxation rate.

[0023] The device can be replaced with spring flat steel samples of different materials for testing, thereby obtaining the stress relaxation rates of different spring flat steels.

[0024] According to the above, the smaller the stress relaxation rate, the greater the elastic attenuation resistance of the spring flat steel. In the application of automobile leaf spring, when the remaining performance is equivalent, the material with greater elastic attenuation resistance of the spring flat steel is preferred, the greater the elastic attenuation resistance of the spring flat steel, the less likely the leaf spring is permanently deformed, thereby providing better guidance for the material selection of the automobile leaf spring.

[0025] In addition to the above embodiments, the utility model can have other implementation manners. Any technical scheme formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope required by the utility model.
