Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impact testing technology, specifically to an impact testing machine for testing polymer materials. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial applications, impact testing is commonly used to determine material toughness. A pendulum impacts the sample once, causing it to break along a notch. The absorbed energy is calculated using the difference in the pendulum's height upon re-arrival. Currently, pendulum impact testing machines are divided into two types: simply supported beam impact testing machines and cantilever beam impact testing machines. Both types require sample alignment before testing to ensure the sample is at the lowest point of the pendulum's swing trajectory, thus improving testing accuracy. Currently, both types of impact testing machines rely on manual alignment, which is difficult to operate, labor-intensive, inefficient, and lacks guaranteed accuracy, thus affecting the test precision. Furthermore, existing impact testing machines can only perform a single impact, requiring sample re-clamping and fixing before each test, severely impacting testing speed and data acquisition. Therefore, we propose an impact testing machine for polymer materials. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The working principle of the impact testing machine for polymer materials provided by this utility model is as follows: During use, both ends of the polymer material to be impacted are placed into the eight placement slots 44 opened on the circumferential surface of the two connecting rings 43. After placement, the third motor 51 is started, causing the first gear 52 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 52 drives the four second gears 53 to rotate, and the rotation of the second gears 53 drives the connected toothed column 45 to rotate, thus causing the toothed column 45 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the two toothed columns 45 drives the four clamping bars 47 on their circumferential surface to rotate, thereby centering and fixing the adjacent polymer material. The rotation of the four second gears 53 drives the eight toothed columns 45 to rotate, and the rotation of the eight toothed columns 45 drives all the clamping bars 47 to move, thereby centering and fixing the four polymer materials. Then, the first motor 21 is started... The moving connecting column 24 rotates, which drives the pendulum 25 to rotate upward. At this time, the encoder 23 will detect the rising angle of the pendulum 25. When it rises to the predetermined height, the external PLC controller automatically shuts off the first motor 21, allowing the pendulum 25 to fall freely and act on the surface of the polymer material. The rotation angle of the pendulum 25 when it rises after the impact is also detected by the encoder 23. By comparing the two detection values of the encoder 23, the experimental data is obtained and displayed on the display screen 24. In this way, the impact test can be completed. After the impact test on the polymer material on the upper side, the second motor 31 is started to rotate the connecting frame 34 to rotate the untested polymer material to the upper side. Then the impact assembly is restarted for use. In this way, multiple tests can be performed at the same time without repeated clamping, which improves the test efficiency.
[0029] It is worth noting that the external PLC controller disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically a Siemens S7-200. The first motor 21, the second motor 31, the third motor 51, the infrared receiver 7, the infrared transmitter 8, the electric telescopic rod 61, and the encoder 23 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. The external PLC controller controls the operation of the first motor 21, the second motor 31, the third motor 51, the infrared transmitter 8, and the electric telescopic rod 61 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
