[0002] In engineering field, many structures or components will be subjected to high-speed impact or explosion and other strong dynamic load, such as automobile, aviation, aerospace, ocean, nuclear power, weapon, etc. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the materials used under high strain rate conditions must be considered in design and use. Hopkinson bar test equipment generates compression stress wave through high-speed impact, establishes nearly uniform stress and strain state inside the test piece, and obtains stress-strain curve of the material under high strain rate. Currently, Hopkinson bar test equipment has been widely used in the study of mechanical properties of engineering materials under high strain rate conditions.

[0003] However, the traditional Hopkinson bar launching device mostly uses gas-driven bullet for impact. Although this method is effective, it has some limitations in actual operation. First, the traditional pneumatic Hopkinson bar has problems such as instability at low pressure, difficulty in increasing at high pressure, and poor repeatability of test results. Second, the gas cylinder and air gun required by the gas-driven device are expensive, increasing the economic burden of the test. Third, the gas cylinder and air gun are independent of each other, and need to be installed and connected separately before the test, which makes the test equipment not simple and compact, and is not conducive to transportation and installation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the launching device of Hopkinson bar to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0008] The utility model provides a kind of Hopkinson bar test equipment based on spring launching device, with the following beneficial effects:

[0009] 1, the launching device uses the elastic potential energy of spring to provide kinetic energy for bullet, since the energy storage and release of spring itself is very stable, as long as the compression degree of spring is same, the kinetic energy of bullet is same, so the repeatability and stability of test are better.
