[0004] Existing mechanical casting hardness testing machines have issues during operation. Because good stability is required during testing, the machine shakes when its legs are suspended in the air, affecting hardness measurement. Therefore, this paper proposes a new mechanical casting hardness testing machine to address these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a mechanical casting hardness testing machine, including a device base 1; a fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the device base 1; a column 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the device base 1; an adjusting screw 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the column 5; a knob 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw 16; a foot 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 16; a limit rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the foot 17; the limit rod 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the column 5; the top of the device base 1 is open. The device is equipped with a clamping groove 21; a servo motor 6 is installed on the side of the device base 1; during operation, when the hardness tester's foot 17 is suspended in the air, the knob 8 on the suspended part can be rotated, causing the knob 8 to drive the adjusting screw 16 to rotate and descend through the thread inside the column 5. At the same time, because the foot 17 is rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 16, the descent of the adjusting screw 16 will drive the foot 17 to descend horizontally under the limit of the limiting rod 18 until the foot 17 is no longer suspended in the air, thereby playing a role in stabilizing the hardness tester.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the output end of the servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to a clamping screw 7; the clamping screw 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the device base 1; the outer wall of the clamping screw 7 is threadedly connected to a clamping body 9; the clamping body 9 is slidably connected to the device base 1; the clamping body 9 has a sliding groove 20; the inner wall of the clamping body 9 is slidably connected to a sliding block 19; the bottom of the sliding block 19 is fixedly connected to a clamping clamp 10; the side of the clamping clamp 10 is fixedly connected to a damping rod 11 through the clamping body 9; the damping rod 11 is slidably connected to the clamping body 9; the side of the clamping clamp 10 is fixedly connected to a sliding plate 12 through the clamping body 9; the sliding plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping body 9; the clamping clamp 10 is fixedly connected to a damping spring 13 through the clamping body 9; the side of the clamping clamp 10 is fixedly connected to a trigger block 14; a pressure switch 15 is installed on the side of the clamping body 9; an electric push rod 3 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing frame 2; a detection end 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 3. During operation, the casting is placed between the clamping clamps 10. Then, the servo motor 6 is started to drive the clamping screw 7, which has a mirrored thread along the middle part, to rotate. This causes the clamping body 9 to move the clamping clamps 10 closer together until the clamping clamps 10 contact the casting. Under the limit of the sliding plate 12, the clamping clamps 10 cause the damping rod 11 to slide against the clamping body 9. At this time, the damping spring 13 is compressed synchronously, and the trigger block 14 moves closer to the pressure switch 15 until it contacts the pressure switch 15. Then, the pressure switch 15 shuts off the servo motor 6 and stops clamping, thereby using the compressed damping spring 13 to provide a suitable clamping force.

[0028] Working principle: When the stand 17 of the hardness testing machine is suspended in the air, the knob 8 on the suspended part can be rotated. This causes the adjusting screw 16 to rotate and descend along the internal thread of the column 5. Simultaneously, because the stand 17 is rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 16, the descent of the adjusting screw 16 will cause the stand 17 to descend horizontally under the limit of the limiting rod 18 until the stand 17 is no longer suspended. This helps to stabilize the hardness testing machine, allowing the casting to be placed between the clamps 10. Then, the servo motor 6 can be started to drive the casting along the middle section... The clamping screw 7, which has a mirrored thread, rotates, causing the clamping body 9 to move the clamping clamp 10 closer together until the clamping clamp 10 contacts the casting. Under the limit of the sliding plate 12, the clamping clamp 10 causes the damping rod 11 to slide with the clamping body 9. At this time, the damping spring 13 is compressed synchronously, and the trigger block 14 moves closer to the pressure switch 15 until it contacts the pressure switch 15. Then, the pressure switch 15 shuts off the servo motor 6 and stops clamping, thereby using the compressed damping spring 13 to provide a suitable clamping force.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
