Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal testing technology, specifically to a fixture for testing the compressive strength of automotive sheet metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] When testing the compressive strength of automotive sheet metal parts, fixtures are typically used for fixation. The main function of the fixtures is to ensure the stability of the sample during testing, preventing it from slipping or falling off, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test data. During testing, the fixtures are usually fixed to the edge of the sheet metal, and then pressure is applied to the sheet metal locally through a top mount. This design ensures that the pressure is evenly transmitted to the sample and avoids test errors caused by sample movement. However, current automotive sheet metal parts come in various shapes, and the clamping methods and positions of current fixtures are fixed and singular. When fixing sheet metal parts with special shapes, it is necessary to change to a corresponding fixture, which increases the testing time and reduces efficiency, failing to meet the application requirements.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: including a shell 1, an inner lining tube frame 2 connected to the top of the inner wall of the shell 1, a partition 3 connected between the outer surface of the inner lining tube frame 2 and the inner side of the shell 1, a drive motor 4 connected to one side of the inner wall of the inner lining tube frame 2, a lead screw 5 connected to the output end of the drive motor 4, a traction frame 6 connected to one end of the lead screw 5, a plurality of connecting rods 7 rotatably arranged on the outer ring of the traction frame 6, a plurality of sliding rods 8 connected to the bottom of the partition 3, a push block 9 slidably arranged at one end of each sliding rod 8, a connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to the push block 9, a clamping mechanism slidably arranged between the partition 3 and the top of the shell 1, a placement platform 12 connected to the top of the shell 1, a sliding hole 20 opened at the top of the placement platform 12, the shell 1 and the partition 3, and a squeezing mechanism slidably arranged in the sliding hole 20 at the top of the placement platform 12;

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a connecting frame 10 slidably disposed between the housing 1 and the partition 3. A clamping cylinder 11 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame 10. The output end of the clamping cylinder 11 passes through the connecting frame 10 and is connected to a lower clamping plate 13. The output end of the clamping cylinder 11 is connected to a pressing mechanism. A first connecting block 101 and a second connecting block 102 are connected to one side of the connecting frame 10. A traction spring 21 is connected between one side of the first connecting block 101 and the inner liner tube frame 2. A pushing block 9 is connected to... The second connecting block 102 abuts against each other, placing the sheet metal part above the placement platform 12. Then, the drive motor 4 starts and drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, thereby driving the traction frame 6 to move down. Through the connecting rod 7, the push block 9 moves along the slide rod 8. Then, the elasticity of the traction spring 21, through its connection with the first connecting block 101, drives the connecting frame 10 to move, so that each clamping mechanism abuts against the edge of the sheet metal part. The clamping cylinder 11 retracts and drives the lower frame clamping plate 13 to move down, pressing down and fixing the sheet metal part placed on the placement platform 12.

[0021] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The extrusion mechanism includes a connecting kit 14 slidably disposed at the output end of the clamping cylinder 11. An extension arm 15 is connected to one side of the connecting kit 14, and a push cylinder 16 is connected to the bottom end of one side of the extension arm 15. A ball head 17 is connected to the output end of the push cylinder 16, and an extrusion plate 18 is rotatably disposed at the top of the ball head 17. While the extrusion mechanism moves and abuts against the edge of the sheet metal part, the extrusion mechanism moves along with the extrusion mechanism via 14. When 13 presses down on the sheet metal part, 16 extends and pushes 18 upward to abut against the other side of the sheet metal part. The setting of 17 can satisfy the multi-angle rotation of 18, which is suitable for fitting with the bottom surface of sheet metal parts with different curved surfaces, further ensuring the fixing effect. A silicone anti-slip layer is connected to the top of the extrusion plate 18 to ensure the fitting effect and the stability of the fitting.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a horizontal plate is connected to one side of the inner wall of the inner lining tube frame 2. The drive motor 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate. A guide rod 19 is connected to the bottom end of the horizontal plate. The traction frame 6 is slidably connected to the guide rod 19. When the lead screw 5 drives the traction frame 6 to move up and down, the guide rod 19 can improve the stability of the movement of the traction frame 6.

[0023] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When using this utility model, the sheet metal part is placed on the placement platform 12, and then the drive motor 4 is started. The rotation of the lead screw 5 drives the traction frame 6 to move down, and the connecting rod 7 drives the push block 9 to move, thereby losing its limiting effect on the second connecting block 102. The traction spring 21 will pull the first connecting block 101 through its own rebound force, thereby pulling the entire clamping mechanism to move closer to the edge of the sheet metal part. Since each clamping mechanism is independent, it can be applied to sheet metal parts of different shapes. After the clamping mechanism is close to the edge of the sheet metal part, it presses down from above the edge of the sheet metal part, and then the extrusion mechanism pushes upward, pushing out and fixing from the bottom surface of the sheet metal part, further fixing the sheet metal part, which facilitates the pressure resistance test.
