The lightweight design must ensure that the collision energy absorption characteristics of the parts are unchanged or slightly improved when the material of the parts changes or the thickness is reduced and the strength is improved. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the energy absorption characteristics and collision crushing characteristics of the material. The load-bearing members on the main collision force transmission path of the automobile body, such as front and rear longitudinal beams, B-pillars, door sills, A-pillars, etc., are all hat beam structures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with examples.

[0031] A kind of auxiliary device for axial crushing energy absorption test, as shown in Figure 1 , including frame mechanism, displacement mechanism,

[0032] Frame mechanism includes bottom support block 8, support frame 1 vertically arranged in the both sides of bottom support block 8.

[0033] The displacement mechanism includes two guide rails 2 spaced apart on each support frame 1, a guide rail matching slider 3 that slides with the gap between the two guide rails 2, a guide rail pulley 14 set on the guide rail matching slider 3, a protruding rectangular block 9 installed on the guide rail matching slider 3, a sample top plate 5 connected to the inner side of the protruding rectangular block 9, a displacement sensor 4 set between the protruding rectangular block 9 and the bottom surface of the support frame 1, a double-hat-shaped beam structure sample 10 placed at the bottom of the sample top plate 5, and a sample base plate 6 connected to the bottom of the double-hat-shaped beam structure sample 10. The sample base plate 6 is fixed on the support block 8. The displacement sensor 4 is a retractable displacement sensor. The protruding rectangular block 9 is located on both sides of the sample top plate 5.

[0034] The guide rail slider 3 is also equipped with multiple spring clamps 12, which press the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 against the upper end of the guide rail slider 3. The guide rail slider 3 is also equipped with sample positioning pins 13, located behind the spring clamps 12 and / or on the sides of the protruding rectangular blocks 9. The sample positioning pins 13 are not associated with the guide rail pulleys 14. Figure 7 In the process, there are 4 sample positioning pins 13 on each guide rail matching slider 3, including 1 on the rear side of the spring plate 12 and 3 arranged in a row on the side of the protruding rectangular block 9. The sample positioning pins 13 match the size of the sample top plate 5 and the protruding rectangular block 9 to position the sample top plate 5 and prevent the sample top plate 5 from moving up and down or left and right.

[0035] The displacement sensor 4 is connected to the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 through the sensor fixing mechanism 11. A universal joint is also provided below the sensor fixing mechanism 11, and the other end of the universal joint is connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 1.

[0036] The sample base plate 6 is fixed to the support block 8 by the bottom fastening strip 7, and the sample top plate 5 is integrally formed with the protruding rectangular block 9.

[0037] The following is combined Figures 1-7 Detailed explanation.

[0038] This embodiment provides an auxiliary device for axial crushing energy absorption testing, comprising a support frame 1, a guide rail 2, a guide rail matching slider 3, a displacement sensor 4, a sample top plate 5, a sample bottom plate 6, a bottom fastening strip 7, and a bottom support block 8.

[0039] The support frame 1 and the bottom support block 8 form the frame mechanism of the device, which is fastened to the external ground or plane by anchor bolts.

[0040] There are four guide rails 2, each with a corresponding guide rail slider 3. The single-sided support frame 1 contains two guide rails 2, with a gap between them. The protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 are mounted on the guide rail sliders 3, allowing the sample top plate 5 to move up and down under the constraint of the gap, but without detaching from the frame mechanism composed of the support frame 1 and the bottom support block 8.

[0041] The displacement sensor 4 is located between the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 and the bottom surface of the support frame 1, and is telescopic.

[0042] This device is matched with the double-cap-shaped beam structure specimen 10. The flange of the double-cap-shaped beam structure specimen 10 is connected by resistance welding, and the position of the weld point can be adjusted according to the test. The rectangular specimen base plate 6 is welded to the bottom of the double-cap-shaped beam structure specimen 10. The specimen top plate 5 is placed on top of the double-cap-shaped beam structure specimen 10, and the two are not connected by welding or gluing. The specimen top plate 5 can be replaced depending on the plate shape.

[0043] The bottom fastening strip 7 is used to fix the sample base plate 6, and it is fastened to the bolts on the bottom support block 8.

[0044] The guide rail is equipped with a slider 3, which has a spring clamp 12. The spring clamp 12 presses the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 against the upper end of the guide rail equipped slider 3. The sample positioning pin 13 constrains the horizontal degrees of freedom of the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5. Its advantage is that the sample is only subjected to vertical pressure during the test, which is consistent with the frontal collision condition of a car. During the test, the sample top plate 5 presses the guide rail equipped slider 3 to move downward along the guide rail 2. The guide rail pulley 14 set on the guide rail equipped slider 3 will greatly reduce the friction, making the force value fed back by the hammer 15 more accurate.

[0045] The displacement sensor 4 is connected to the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5 through the sensor fixing mechanism 11. The universal joint below the sensor fixing mechanism 11 can ensure that the displacement sensor 4 moves vertically downward when the sample is twisted.

[0046] The steps for conducting a crushing energy absorption test using this device are as follows:

[0047] Step 1: According to relevant test standards or automotive part size requirements, fabricate double-hat-shaped beam structure specimen 10, and weld the specimen bottom (6) to the bottom of double-hat-shaped beam structure specimen 10, with the two centers aligned to form a crushable specimen with a bottom plate.

[0048] Step 2: Install the prepared crushing sample with the base plate onto the bottom support block 8 and fix it with bolts using the bottom fastening strip 7;

[0049] Step 3: Place the top plate 5 of the sample on the double-hat-shaped beam structure sample 10, centering them together;

[0050] Step 4: Use the sample positioning pin 13 on the guide rail matching slider 3 to position the protruding rectangular blocks 9 on both sides of the sample top plate 5, and then use the spring clip 12 to fix it.

[0051] Step 5: Fix the displacement sensor 4 to the protruding rectangular block 9 using the sensor fixing mechanism 11, with its lower part placed on the bottom surface of the support frame 1.

[0052] Step 6: Adjust the alignment of the sample top plate 5 and the drop hammer head 15, connect all sensor connection channels, check that everything is ready, turn on the drop hammer mechanism switch, and carry out the crushing energy absorption test.

[0053] Step 7: Collect data from the force sensor installed on the hammer head 15 and the displacement sensor 4 inside the support frame 1, and perform data analysis to obtain the crushing energy absorption characteristics of the material.
