Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire mechanical property testing devices, specifically a wire elongation testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Cables are a general term for items such as optical fibers and electrical cables. Cables have many uses, primarily for control installation, equipment connection, and power transmission, making them a common and indispensable item in daily life. A cable mainly consists of a conductor and a protective layer surrounding it. After production, various data points of the cable need to be tested to ensure product quality and safe use.
[0003] When testing cables, elongation is one of the important indicators for measuring the cable's mechanical properties. It reflects the degree of deformation that the cable can withstand when subjected to tensile force. By testing the elongation, we can understand the cable's flexibility and tensile strength, and determine whether it meets the usage requirements.
[0004] However, when testing the elongation of stranded cables, the removal of the protective layer at both ends after sampling leads to increased gaps in the stranded cable, resulting in a looser overall structure and decreased measurement accuracy. Furthermore, ordinary clamps are ineffective at holding stranded cables, causing uneven stress distribution and affecting the measurement results. Therefore, we propose a wire elongation testing device. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 A wire elongation testing device includes a tester 1 for controlling and processing data from tensile tests. A slide rail 2 is fixedly connected to the tester 1, and a slider 3 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 2. The slider 3 can slide along the slide rail 2, thereby performing tensile testing on the cable. A clamping mechanism 4 is provided at one end of both the slider 3 and the slide rail 2 for clamping the cable.
[0029] Please see Figures 2-4 The clamping mechanism 4 includes two fixed blocks 41. One fixed block 41 is fixedly connected to the slider 3, and the other fixed block 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the detector 1. A housing 42 is fixedly installed on the fixed block 41. A sliding cavity 46 is opened inside the housing 42. A sliding seat 43 is slidably installed on the housing 42 through the sliding cavity 46. The sliding seat 43 has a "T" shaped structure, which makes the sliding seat 43 more stable when it moves along the sliding cavity 46 and will not detach from the sliding cavity 46.
[0030] A rotating block 47 is rotatably mounted inside the sliding cavity 46. A motor is mounted on one end of the rotating block 47, and a conical block 45 is mounted on the other end. The conical block 45 is used to break up the stranded cables, so that each cable is completely separated. An inner cavity 44 is opened inside the sliding seat 43. The inner cavity 44 has a frustum structure. The inner cavity 44 and the conical block 45 form a frustum space with a uniform inner diameter, which facilitates the storage of stranded cables.
[0031] The rotating block 47 has threads on its surface and is adapted to the sliding seat 43. The housing 42 has a fixed cavity 49, and the sliding seat 43 has a slot 410. A locking block 48 is slidably installed in the cavity 49 and is adapted to the slot 410. When the locking block 48 is engaged in the slot 410, it acts as a limit, so that the sliding seat 43 can only slide and cannot rotate. At this time, when the rotating block 47 rotates, it can drive the sliding seat 43 to move along the sliding cavity 46, so that the sliding seat 43 is displaced relative to the conical block 45, so that the distance between the inner cavity 44 and the conical block 45 is reduced until each core of the stranded cable is clamped.
[0032] After the cable is clamped, the locking block 48 is removed, which releases the limit of the sliding seat 43. The sliding seat 43 can rotate with the rotating block 47, which allows the stranded cable to be re-tightened. At the same time, since each cable core is clamped individually, the problem of uneven stress can be effectively avoided, and the accuracy of tensile test can be effectively improved.
[0033] Please see Figure 5 An auxiliary mechanism 5 is provided on the slide rail 2. The auxiliary mechanism 5 includes two adjustment seats 52. One adjustment seat 52 is fixedly connected to the slider 3 through a connecting rod 51, and the other adjustment seat 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the detector 1 through a connecting rod 51. The adjustment seat 52 is slidably connected to the slide rail 2, so that the adjustment seat 52 can follow the slider 3 to move.
[0034] A bidirectional lead screw 53 is rotatably mounted inside the adjusting seat 52. A movable block 54 is threaded onto the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 53, and a clamping block 55 is fixedly mounted on the top of the movable block 54. A handle is fixedly mounted on one end of the bidirectional lead screw 53 to facilitate rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 53. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 53 causes the two movable blocks 54 to move relative to or towards each other. The movable blocks 54 cause the clamping block 55 to move synchronously, thereby enabling the clamping block 55 to stably clamp the wire.
[0035] The surface of clamp 55 features a serrated structure and is inlaid with rubber or polyurethane pads to prevent cable slippage or crushing, effectively enhancing stability during clamping. This serves to secure ordinary cables and also pre-fix stranded cables before fixing them, preventing excessive slack that could lead to deviations during re-twisting.
[0036] It should be noted that the working principle of a wire elongation testing device is as follows:
[0037] When the cable to be tested is a common single-core cable, place both ends of the cable between two clamping blocks 55. By turning the handle, the handle drives the bidirectional lead screw 53 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 53 drives the two movable blocks 54 to move relative to or towards each other. The movable blocks 54 drive the clamping blocks 55 to move synchronously, so that the clamping blocks 55 can stably clamp the cable.
[0038] After the wire is clamped and fixed, the detector 1 is started, causing the slider 3 to move along the slide rail 2, thereby stretching the cable until the cable breaks, and the elongation rate of the wire can be calculated.
[0039] When the cable to be tested is a multi-core twisted cable, insert both ends of the cable into the sliding cavity 46 respectively, so that they contact the conical block 45 and the multi-core twisted cable spreads out on the surface of the conical block 45. By turning the handle, the handle drives the bidirectional lead screw 53 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 53 drives the two movable blocks 54 to move relative to or towards each other. The movable blocks 54 drive the clamping block 55 to move synchronously, so as to pre-fix the multi-core twisted cable and prevent the twisted cable from spreading out.
[0040] When the motor is started, it drives the rotating block 47 to rotate. Since the locking block 48 is engaged in the locking slot 410, it plays a limiting role, so that the sliding seat 43 can only slide and cannot rotate. At this time, when the rotating block 47 rotates, it can drive the sliding seat 43 to move along the sliding cavity 46, so that the sliding seat 43 is displaced relative to the conical block 45, thereby reducing the distance between the inner cavity 44 and the conical block 45 until each core of the stranded cable is clamped.
[0041] After clamping, release clamping block 55, start the motor to drive rotating block 47 to drive conical block 45 and sliding seat 43 to rotate synchronously, thereby re-twisting the stranded cable and avoiding stress dispersion caused by loose twisting between cables. Finally, start the testing instrument 1 to perform a tensile test on the stranded cable. Since each cable core is clamped individually, the problem of uneven stress can be effectively avoided, and the accuracy of tensile test can be effectively improved.
