Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bolt testing technology, and specifically relates to a bolt fatigue resistance testing bench. Background Technology

[0002] The bolt fatigue test bench is a process testing instrument used in mechanical engineering and transportation engineering.

[0003] The core objective of bolt fatigue testing is to evaluate its performance degradation under dynamic loads. The following key indicators can be determined through testing:

[0004] Fatigue life: The number of cycles required for a bolt to go from its initial state to complete fracture, used to determine maintenance or replacement cycles.

[0005] Fatigue limit (durability limit): The limit of a bolt's lifespan at an infinite lifespan (e.g., 1×10⁻⁶). 7 The maximum stress amplitude that does not fail under multiple cycles provides a safety threshold for design.

[0006] Currently, Chinese patent CN212963929U, published on April 13, 2021, discloses a testing machine for axial fatigue and lateral vibration of fasteners. It includes a parallel frame base and a crossbeam, with a testing device mounted on the frame base. A crossbeam lifting mechanism is located between the crossbeam and the frame base, and a hydraulic servo drive mechanism is mounted on the crossbeam. The hydraulic servo drive mechanism is connected to the testing device via a detection device. The hydraulic servo drive mechanism includes a main cylinder, an accumulator, a valve plate, and a servo valve. The accumulator is connected to the main cylinder via the valve plate and the servo valve. The main cylinder is located at the bottom of the crossbeam, and its piston rod is connected to the testing device via the detection device. The detection device includes a load sensor assembly and a displacement measuring device. The load sensor assembly is connected between the main cylinder and the testing device and is used to measure the axial or lateral force on the sample. The displacement measuring device is mounted on the crossbeam and is used to measure the real-time displacement of the piston rod of the main cylinder during vibration.

[0007] This testing machine, which can perform axial fatigue and lateral vibration tests on fasteners, uses upper and lower clamps to hold and fix bolts, and then fatigue testing can be performed.

[0008] Meanwhile, Chinese patent publication number CN203132933U, published on August 14, 2013, discloses a large bolt low-temperature fatigue testing device, including a low-temperature environment chamber. The low-temperature environment chamber is composed of a hollow cylindrical irregular-shaped vertical Dewar, with a coaxial through hole at each of its upper and lower ends. The upper and lower pull rods are connected to a clamping system set inside the low-temperature environment chamber through the two through holes. The clamping system is used to clamp the test bolts. The upper and lower pull rods are connected to an external power source.

[0009] This large-scale bolt low-temperature fatigue testing device uses liquid nitrogen to provide a low-temperature environment for the bolts by passing liquid nitrogen into a low-temperature environment chamber, and can then test the bolt's fatigue resistance under low-temperature conditions.

[0010] Temperature is one of the important factors affecting bolt fatigue. The strength and toughness of bolts will change under different temperature environments, thus affecting the service life of bolts. However, the existing technology only provides bolt fatigue performance testing under low temperature environment, and cannot provide high temperature environment, which is not conducive to comprehensive testing of bolt fatigue performance under different temperature environments. Utility Model Content

[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bolt fatigue testing bench that can provide different temperature environments for the bolts to be tested.

[0012] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a bolt fatigue testing bench, including a testing bench, a crossbeam located above the testing bench, a guide post set on the testing bench and passing through the crossbeam, a lifting cylinder set on the testing bench and used to drive the crossbeam to move, an upper clamp set on the lower side of the crossbeam, a lower clamp set on the upper side of the testing bench, a servo actuator set on the upper side of the crossbeam, and two semi-circular sleeves respectively located on both sides of the upper clamp and the lower clamp for splicing and wrapping. A connecting shell is provided on the outer wall of the middle part of the semi-circular sleeve. An electric heating wire is provided inside the connecting shell and distributed along the periphery of the connecting shell. A plurality of strip holes communicating with the inside of the connecting shell are opened on the inner wall of the semi-circular sleeve. A controller for controlling the temperature of the electric heating wire is provided on the outside of the connecting shell. A temperature detector for detecting the temperature inside the semi-circular sleeve is provided on one side of the semi-circular sleeve. An opening and closing component for adjusting the position of the semi-circular sleeve is provided between the guide post and the semi-circular sleeve.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that both the upper and lower ends of the semicircular sleeve are provided with sealing rings for respectively abutting against the outer walls of the upper and lower clamps.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the sealing rings are provided in multiple portions and are evenly spaced along the vertical direction.

[0015] The present invention is further configured as follows: the opening and closing assembly includes a guide shaft disposed on the outer wall of the upper and lower ends of the semicircular sleeve, a guide hole opened on the guide post for the guide shaft to pass through, a connecting arm disposed between the ends of the two guide shafts away from the semicircular sleeve, a through hole opened in the middle of the connecting arm, a rotating shaft passing through the through hole, a threaded end disposed at one end of the rotating shaft, a threaded hole opened on the guide post for threaded connection of the threaded end, a limiting ring disposed on the rotating shaft and located on both sides of the through hole, and a knob disposed at the end of the rotating shaft away from the threaded end.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the semicircular sleeve is also provided with a refrigerant pipe for supplying liquid nitrogen.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the refrigerant pipe includes two semicircular pipes located on the sides of the two semicircular sleeves respectively.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. When it is necessary to test the fatigue resistance of bolts under different temperature environments, after the upper and lower clamps are connected to the bolts, the two semi-circular sleeves are spliced ​​together and wrapped around the upper and lower clamps using the opening and closing components. Then, the heating wire inside the connecting shell is energized by the controller, and the current input to the heating wire is adjusted by the controller to control the temperature generated by the heating wire. The heat generated by the heating wire can simulate a high-temperature environment for the bolts, and the temperature is monitored by a temperature detector. Finally, different temperature environments can be provided for the bolts to be tested.

[0020] 2. By using sealing rings at both the upper and lower ends of the semi-circular sleeve, the sealing rings can abut against the outer walls of the upper and lower clamps, thereby reducing the heat loss;

[0021] 3. Multiple sealing rings are set and evenly distributed in the vertical direction. When the length of the bolt to be tested changes, thus changing the distance between the upper and lower clamps, the multiple sealing rings can stably abut the upper clamp at different height positions.

[0022] 4. When two semicircular sleeves need to be spliced ​​and wrapped between the upper and lower clamps, the guide shaft is moved in the guide hole by pushing the connecting arm. Then the two semicircular sleeves can move towards each other. When the semicircular sleeves are about to be spliced, the threaded end can be threaded into the threaded hole, so that the two semicircular sleeves are spliced ​​and locked. When the two semicircular sleeves need to be separated, the threaded end in the threaded hole is unscrewed first. Then the two semicircular sleeves can be moved towards each other, and finally the opening and closing of the semicircular sleeve positions can be completed.

[0023] 5. When a low-temperature environment is required for the bolt, the refrigerant pipe is also installed on the semi-circular sleeve. After the two semi-circular sleeves are spliced ​​and wrapped between the upper and lower clamps, the refrigerant pipe can be connected to the liquid nitrogen pipe. Then, liquid nitrogen can be injected between the two semi-circular sleeves to simulate a low-temperature environment for the bolt. The temperature can be monitored by a temperature detector. Finally, different temperature environments can be provided for the bolt to be tested.

[0024] 6. The refrigerant pipe consists of two semicircular pipes located on the sides of the two semicircular sleeves. When the two semicircular sleeves are spliced ​​together, the two semicircular pipes can be spliced ​​together. Since the semicircular pipes are located on the sides of the semicircular sleeves, interference between the semicircular pipes and the heating wire can be avoided. Attached Figure Description
