[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a mechanical performance testing device for a metal U-shaped nail, including an operating table 100. A semi-circular plate 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the operating table 100. A square sleeve 200 is fixedly installed at the lower center of the front side of the semi-circular plate 101. The inner cavity of the square sleeve 200 is provided with a fixing member for fixing the end of the metal U-shaped nail inserted inside it to prevent it from falling out. A testing component is provided on the front side of the semi-circular plate 101 and on one side of the square sleeve 200 for bending the other end of the metal U-shaped nail to test its mechanical performance.
[0029] The fixing component includes a U-shaped clip 202 that slides left and right within the inner cavity of the square sleeve 200. The opening of the U-shaped clip 202 faces the test component. Two sets of through holes 201 adapted to the ends of the U-shaped clip 202 are provided on one side surface of the square sleeve 200. An internal hexagon bolt 203 is threadedly connected to the other side surface of the square sleeve 200. The end of the internal hexagon bolt 203 is threaded through the square sleeve 200 and connected to the end surface of the U-shaped clip 202 through a rotating connector. By rotating the internal hexagon bolt 203, the U-shaped clip 202 is pushed to one side, which can tightly lock the end of the metal U-shaped nail inserted into the square sleeve 200, effectively preventing it from detaching from the square sleeve 200 during the test, ensuring the stability of the test process, providing a basic guarantee for accurately testing the mechanical properties of the metal U-shaped nail, and is simple and convenient to operate, which helps to improve the test efficiency. At the same time, the movement distance of the U-shaped clip 202 can be controlled to achieve a firm fixation of U-shaped nails of different sizes.
[0030] The rotating connector includes an adapter groove 205 at the end of the U-shaped clip 202. An adapter post 204 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the adapter groove 205. The end of the adapter post 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the internal hex bolt 203. By setting the rotating connector, the adapter post 204 rotates in the adapter groove 205 during the rotation of the internal hex bolt 203, thus avoiding the generation of additional torque on the end of the U-shaped clip 202 when the internal hex bolt 203 rotates.
[0031] The testing assembly includes a connecting post 104 rotatably inserted into the front of the semicircular plate 101 and located on one side of the square sleeve 200. U-shaped frames 300 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting post 104. The ends of the U-shaped frames 300 can rotate around the outer surface of the semicircular plate 101 with the connecting post 104 as the center. A handle 309 is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped frame 300. A square tube 301 is connected to the front side of the U-shaped frame 300 via a sliding connector. An anti-detachment component is installed inside the square tube 301 to prevent the end of the metal U-shaped nail from detaching. Through the setup of the testing assembly, the cooperation between the connecting post 104 and the U-shaped frame 300 allows the U-shaped frame 300 to rotate around the outer surface of the semicircular plate 101. With the handle 309, the user can easily operate the U-shaped frame 300 to bend the metal U-shaped nail at different angles, meeting diverse mechanical performance testing needs and helping to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the U-shaped nail at different bending angles.
[0032] The sliding connector includes a strip groove 307 formed inside the front side of the U-shaped frame 300 and arranged along its length. A strip plate 304 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the strip groove 307. A connecting hole 308 is formed on the front side of the U-shaped frame 300. A fixing screw 306 is fixedly connected to the front side of the strip plate 304. The end of the fixing screw 306 passes through the connecting hole 308 and is fixedly connected to the surface of the square tube 301. A nut 305 is threadedly connected to the surface of the fixing screw 306 located on the outside of the U-shaped frame 300. The nut 305 abuts against the surface of the U-shaped frame 300. By setting up the sliding connector, the position of the square tube 301 can be flexibly adjusted according to the length of the U-shaped nail, so that the test fixture can adapt to the testing of U-shaped nails of different sizes and positions, which greatly improves the versatility of the test fixture. At the same time, the adjustment method is simple to operate, and users can quickly complete the adjustment of the position of the square tube 301 without the need for complicated tools, which improves the efficiency of the testing work.
[0033] The anti-detachment component includes a hand-tightening bolt 303 threaded to one side of the square tube 301. The hand-tightening bolt 303 is threaded through the square tube 301 and fixedly connected to an abutment plate 302. By rotating the hand-tightening bolt 303, the abutment plate 302 is tightly pressed against the end of the U-shaped nail, which further enhances the fixing effect of the U-shaped nail and prevents it from coming out of the square tube 301 during the bending test. This avoids test interruption or inaccurate results due to the U-shaped nail coming out, and ensures the safety and integrity of the test process.
[0034] The semicircular plate 101 has a graduated groove 102 on its front left side, near the outer circumference of the semicircular plate 101. The U-shaped frame 300 has an observation port 106 on its front surface, corresponding to the graduated groove 102. Through the arrangement of the graduated groove 102 and the through port, the graduated groove 102 on the semicircular plate 101 and the observation port 106 on the U-shaped frame 300 work together. When the operator rotates the U-shaped frame 300 to bend the U-shaped nail, they can clearly read the graduations on the graduated groove 102 through the observation port 106, thus precisely controlling the bending angle. This provides crucial data support for accurately evaluating the mechanical properties of the U-shaped nail at different bending angles, helping to improve the scientific rigor and accuracy of the test results. Furthermore, the ability to precisely control the bending angle allows tests conducted by different operators or in different batches to be performed under the same or precisely comparable angle conditions, enhancing the comparability of test results and facilitating a more comprehensive and systematic analysis of the mechanical properties of the U-shaped nail.
[0035] The U-shaped frame 300 has two sets of guide posts 105 fixedly connected inside. The front side of the semi-circular plate 101 has guide holes 103 for the guide posts 105 to slide. The two sets of guide posts 105 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding guide holes 103. Through the setting of the guide holes 103 and guide posts 105, the guide posts 105 slide in the guide holes 103 during the rotation of the U-shaped frame 300 around the connecting post 104, which plays a good guiding and limiting role, ensuring that the rotation of the U-shaped frame 300 is stable, avoiding shaking or deviation, making the bending operation more accurate, and improving the reliability and consistency of the test results.
[0036] Working principle;
[0037] First, take out the metal U-shaped nail to be tested, align one set of ends of the metal U-shaped nail with the inner cavity of the square sleeve 200, and push the square tube 301 to one side so that the opening of the square tube 301 is aligned with the other end of the metal U-shaped nail. Then tighten the nut 305 so that the nut 305 abuts against the surface of the U-shaped frame 300 to fix the strip plate 304 and prevent the square tube 301 from moving during use.
[0038] Then, the two ends of the metal U-shaped nail are respectively inserted into the inner cavities of the square sleeve 200 and the square tube 301. At this time, the internal hex bolt 203 is rotated. When the internal hex bolt 203 is rotated, the adapter post 204 rotates in the adapter groove 205, causing the U-shaped clip 202 to slide left and right, so that the opening of the U-shaped clip 202 tightly clamps the end of the metal U-shaped nail, thereby fixing one end of the metal U-shaped nail and preventing it from coming off the square sleeve 200 during the test.
[0039] At this point, tighten the hand-tightening bolt 303 connected to the rotating thread on one side of the square tube 301. The thread of the hand-tightening bolt 303 passes through the square tube 301 and drives the abutment plate 302 to move, so that the abutment plate 302 tightly abuts against the end of the metal U-shaped nail, preventing it from coming out of the square tube 301 during the test.
[0040] The operator can hold the handle 309 at the end of the U-shaped frame 300 and push it upward, so that the U-shaped frame 300 can rotate around the outer circle of the semicircular plate 101 with the connecting column 104 as the center. This allows for easy bending of the other end of the metal U-shaped nail to test its mechanical properties, thereby simulating bending at different angles and in different ways to meet diverse testing needs.
[0041] Meanwhile, the operator observes the scale on the scale groove 102 through the observation port 106 to determine the rotation angle of the U-shaped frame 300, that is, the bending angle of the metal U-shaped nail, so as to accurately control and record the bending angle parameters during the test.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
