To solve the above problems, we provide an automatic steel ball impact testing machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic steel ball impact testing machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that steel balls easily rebound after impacting the plate, and if there is no effective interception mechanism, multiple uncontrolled impacts will occur, which seriously affects the accuracy of the test data.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This device automatically releases and retrieves the steel ball. When the sensor detects the steel ball passing through twice within a set time, it triggers the cylinder to actuate. This releases the second steel wire rope, causing the spring to reset and pushing the sliding sleeve to slide on the sliding rod. This, in turn, causes the limit plate to quickly seal the through hole, effectively preventing the steel ball from falling again due to rebound and avoiding distortion of test data. At the same time, the second motor drives the winding wheel to release or retract the first steel wire rope. Combined with the adsorption function of the electromagnet chuck, this achieves rapid reset of the steel ball, significantly improving test efficiency. It not only facilitates the control of the number of impacts but also has high practicality and promotional value. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Brief description of the usage process: The user can place the test plate on top of the enclosure base 1, and start the first motor 203 to drive the threaded shaft 202 to rotate. The threaded shaft 202, through the engagement of the threaded sleeve 205, drives the connecting pipe 204 to move. At the same time, the connecting pipe 204 drives the slider 207 to slide on the surface of the slide rail 206. The first connecting block 208 and the second connecting block 209 drive the impact mechanism 3 and the limiting mechanism 4 to move up and down. The first connecting block 208 and the second connecting block 209 can slide smoothly inside the first through groove, thereby effectively facilitating the adjustment of the impact height. The control cabinet 5 controls the electromagnet chuck 307 to disconnect from the steel ball 308, causing the steel ball 308 to fall and conduct an impact test on the plate. The sensor 406 senses the steel ball 308. When the sensor 406 detects the steel ball 308 for the second time within the set time, The cylinder 407 extends its telescopic end, simultaneously releasing the tension on the second wire rope 408. Then, the spring 414 resets, pushing the sliding sleeve 413 to slide on the surface of the sliding rod 411. The sliding sleeve 413, through the connecting rod 415, drives the limiting plate 404 to block the through hole 405, causing the steel ball 308 to fall onto the top of the limiting plate 404. Subsequently, the second motor 304 reverses, driving the winding wheel 305 to rotate, allowing it to unwind the first wire rope 306. Then, the electromagnet chuck 307 activates to attract the steel ball 308. Afterward, the second motor 304 reverses again to wind up the first wire rope 306, lifting the steel ball 308. This effectively controls the number of impacts and prevents the steel ball 308 from rebounding and falling again, thus avoiding inaccurate test data. It also allows for rapid reset of the steel ball 308 and enables repeated impact tests.
