Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum alloy testing technology, specifically a device for detecting the low-magnification structure of aluminum alloy samples. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. Defects can lead to a decrease in material strength, fatigue life, or corrosion resistance. The low-magnification microstructure testing device for aluminum alloy samples is mainly used to observe the macroscopic microstructure of aluminum alloy materials in order to discover defects generated during casting, machining, or heat treatment, such as porosity, cracks, shrinkage cavities, and inclusions.
[0003] By observing the macroscopic structure of aluminum alloy samples at low magnification, the uniformity, density, and presence of defects of the material can be evaluated. However, since current testing devices all place the test solution in a chamber, the staff must place the aluminum alloy to be tested into the chamber and then take it out by wearing corrosion-resistant gloves, which is extremely inconvenient and may also cause certain harm to the human body. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a device for detecting the low-magnification structure of aluminum alloy samples, thereby solving the problems that low-magnification aluminum alloy detection devices cannot guarantee personnel safety, ease of operation, and insufficient detail in observation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for detecting the low-magnification structure of aluminum alloy samples, characterized in that it includes a container, a support, and a lifting device. The container is hollow and rectangular, the support is shaped and sized to match the interior of the container, the support is hung on the container, and lifting devices are installed on both sides of the container. The lifting device consists of a screw jack and a motor. The screw jack consists of a lead screw and a machine body, and a ring head is installed on the top of the lead screw.
[0006] Optionally, the container is connected to a screw jack, and the motor is connected to the container via a wire. The wire is embedded in the container wall and connected to a switch device disposed on the surface of the container.
[0007] Optionally, a socket is provided on the lower side of the switching device.
[0008] Optionally, the screw jack is connected to the motor via a rotating shaft.
[0009] Optionally, the container is provided with a water outlet on its side, and a valve is provided on the water outlet.
[0010] Optionally, the switching device includes an up button and a down button, with switches located on the sides of the up button and the down button.
[0011] Optionally, the bracket consists of an upper bracket and a lower bracket. The bottom of the upper bracket is provided with an upper guide rail, and the top of the lower bracket is installed with a lower guide rail. The upper guide rail and the lower guide rail are connected to each other by a connecting plate, and a magnifying glass is inserted between the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail.
[0012] Optionally, the two sides of the upper bracket abut against the ring head.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model features a lifting device installed on both sides of the container. The lifting device consists of a screw jack and a motor. The screw jack contains a lead screw with a ring at its top, which abuts against the two sides of the top of the support frame. When the user plugs the power cord into the device socket and starts the switch, the motor rotates the screw jack via a shaft, causing the lead screw to move up and down. The user can raise the support frame by pressing the up button and lower it by pressing the down button. Since the top of the lead screw abuts against the two sides of the top of the support frame, the support frame also moves up and down. Compared to traditional testing devices that consist only of an alkaline solution tank, this utility model utilizes an automatic lifting device, eliminating the need for workers to directly touch the solution and thus avoiding potential harm to the human body. This significantly improves the safety of the testing device. Furthermore, the continuous lifting and lowering ensures that the aluminum alloy in the container is in full contact with the solution, thereby increasing testing efficiency.
[0015] This utility model is equipped with a support that matches the internal shape of the container. The support structure is a layered design and is made of iron columns. It can test multiple aluminum alloys at the same time. Because the support is hollow, the staff can observe the condition of the aluminum alloy more directly and clearly. It is not only cheaper but also more efficient. The iron column at the top of the support is higher than the container. After the test, the staff can lift the support by hand or other tools without worrying about safety hazards.
[0016] This invention features an upper guide rail and a lower guide rail, both of which are circular in design. A magnifying glass is mounted between the two guide rails. After the aluminum alloy test sample is immersed in the solution for a period of time, the user can activate the switch to lift the support and then slide the magnifying glass along the guide rail. This allows the user to observe the aluminum alloy from all angles. Compared to traditional naked-eye observation, the magnifying glass observation of this invention provides a better observation effect, enabling the observation of finer cracks or pores, thereby significantly improving the quality of the tested aluminum alloy.

[0024] 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.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a device for detecting the low-magnification structure of aluminum alloy samples. It is characterized by comprising a container 1, a support 2, and a lifting device 3. The container 1 is hollow and rectangular. The support 2 is shaped and sized to match the interior of the container 1 and is hung on the container 1. Lifting devices 3 are installed on both sides of the container 1. The lifting device 3 consists of a screw jack 4 and a motor 5. The screw jack 4 consists of a lead screw 6 and a body 13. A ring head 14 is installed at the top of the lead screw 6.
[0026] The above solution is as follows: This utility model is provided with a support 2 that matches the internal shape of the container 1. The support 2 has a layered structure and is made of iron columns. It can test multiple aluminum alloys at the same time. Because the support 2 is hollow, the staff can observe the condition of the aluminum alloy more directly and clearly. It is not only cheaper but also more efficient. The iron column at the top of the support 2 is higher than the container 1. After the test, the staff can lift the support 2 away by hand or other tools without worrying about safety hazards.
[0027] The container 1 is connected to the screw jack 4, and the motor 5 is connected to the container 1 via the wire 7. The wire 7 is embedded in the wall of the container 1 and is connected to the switch device 8 set on the surface of the container 1.
[0028] The above solution is adopted: Lifting devices 3 are installed on both sides of the container 1 of this utility model. The lifting devices 3 consist of a screw jack 4 and a motor 5. A lead screw 6 is installed in the screw jack 4, and a ring head 14 is provided at the top of the lead screw 6. The ring head 14 abuts against the top two sides of the bracket 2. When the user plugs the power into the device socket 9 and starts the switch device 8, the motor 5 drives the screw inside the screw jack 4 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10, causing the lead screw 6 to begin lifting and lowering. The user can raise the bracket 2 by pressing the up button 15 and lower the bracket 2 by pressing the down button 16. Since the top of the lead screw 6 abuts against the top two sides of the bracket 2, the bracket 2 also begins to lift and lower. Compared with the traditional detection device which is only an alkaline solution tank, this utility model uses an automatic lifting device so that the staff does not need to directly touch the solution, thus avoiding certain harm to the human body and greatly improving the safety of the detection device. At the same time, the continuous lifting and lowering also allows the aluminum alloy to fully contact the solution inside the container, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0029] A socket 9 is provided on the lower side of the switching device 8.
[0030] Using the above scheme: socket 9 can be used to plug in the power supply for motor 5 and heater, and the heater keeps the detection device at a constant temperature.
[0031] The screw jack 4 is connected to the motor 5 via a rotating shaft 10.
[0032] The container 1 has a water outlet 11 on its side, and a valve 12 is installed on the water outlet 11.
[0033] Using the above method: when the staff changes the test solution, they can simply turn the valve 12 on the outlet 11 to release the replacement solution.
[0034] The switching device 8 is provided with an up button 15 and a down button 16, and a switch 17 is provided on the side of the up button 15 and the down button 16.
[0035] The bracket 2 consists of an upper bracket 18 and a lower bracket 19. The upper bracket 18 is provided with an upper guide rail 20 at its bottom, and the lower bracket 19 is provided with a lower guide rail 21 at its top. The upper guide rail 20 and the lower guide rail 21 are connected to each other by a connecting plate 22, and a magnifying glass 23 is inserted between the upper guide rail 20 and the lower guide rail 21.
[0036] The upper support 18 abuts against the ring head 14 on both sides.
[0037] The above-mentioned solution includes an upper guide rail 20 and a lower guide rail 21, both of which are circular designs. A magnifying glass 23 is installed in the two guide rails. After the aluminum alloy test object is immersed in the solution for a period of time, the user can activate the switch device 8 to lift the bracket 2 and then use the magnifying glass 23 to slide along the guide rail. This allows the user to observe the aluminum alloy from 360° without blind spots. Compared with the traditional naked-eye observation method, the magnifying glass 23 of this invention can provide a better observation effect and can observe finer cracks or pores, thereby greatly improving the quality of the tested aluminum alloy.
[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the user plugs the power supply into the device socket 9 and starts the switch device 8, the motor 5 starts running and drives the screw inside the screw jack 4 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10, causing the lead screw 6 to start lifting and lowering. Since the top of the ring head 14 abuts against the two sides of the top of the bracket 2, the bracket 2 also starts lifting and lowering. The bracket 2 has a layered design and is made of iron columns. It can simultaneously test multiple aluminum alloys. Because the bracket 2 is hollow and equipped with a magnifying glass, the staff can observe the state of the aluminum alloy more directly and clearly. It is not only cheaper but also more efficient. Compared with the traditional testing device, which is only an alkaline solution tank, this utility model uses an automatic lifting device so that the staff does not have to directly touch the solution, which poses a certain hazard to the human body. This greatly improves the safety of the testing device. At the same time, the continuous lifting and lowering also allows the aluminum alloy to fully contact the solution in the container, thereby improving the testing efficiency.
