Description

A device for testing the compressive strength of steel pipes Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing device technology, and in particular to a testing device for the compressive strength of steel pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Compressive strength testing of steel pipes evaluates their performance under external pressure, ensuring their safety and reliability in practical applications. Compressive strength refers to the ultimate strength under applied external force. Bending strength testing is a method for evaluating the performance of materials under bending loads, primarily used to understand the material's elasticity, strength, and durability. By applying gradually increasing bending force until the sample breaks or deforms, relevant data are recorded to analyze material properties. To understand the characteristics of steel pipes and their suitability for engineering applications, mechanical strength tests must first be performed. Strength tests mainly include compressive strength and bending strength tests; the main difference lies in whether the bottom of the steel pipe is fully supported. With societal development, the demand for such compressive strength testing equipment for steel pipes is increasing daily.

[0003] An existing steel tube compression testing device (notification number: CN211453147U) used in vehicle frame production has at least the following drawbacks:

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the steel pipe is fixed by tightening the bolts and using the curved clips to clamp and lock it. However, the steel pipe can only be fixed by pressing down, and the steel pipe lacks lateral restraint. In addition, the device can only perform pressure resistance testing on the steel pipe. When there is a need for bending resistance testing, the machine needs to be replaced, which is inconvenient to use and has certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a steel pipe compressive strength testing device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A steel pipe compressive strength testing device includes a test platform with a steel pipe mounted on its top surface. It also includes a compressive strength testing assembly for testing the steel pipe's compressive strength. The assembly is located on the top surface of the test platform and includes two movable tubes, both fixedly mounted on the top surface of the test platform. Two first movable plates are movably fitted inside each movable tube. A first clamping plate is fixedly mounted on the top surface of each first movable plate. Fixed plates are fixedly mounted on both sides of each movable tube. A first circular through hole is formed on one side of each fixed plate. A first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the first circular through hole. One end of the telescopic shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed with the first moving plate. A rotating plate is movably sleeved inside the first clamping plate. Rotating columns are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating plate. A second circular through hole is opened on both sides of the first clamping plate. The inner wall of the second circular through hole is movably sleeved with the rotating column. A fixing hole is opened on the outer wall of the rotating plate. A second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the fixing hole. A second clamping plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the telescopic shaft of the second hydraulic cylinder.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a support frame is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the test platform. A fourth circular through hole is opened on the top surface of the support frame. A fourth hydraulic cylinder is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the fourth circular through hole. A second moving plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the telescopic shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder. A pressure detector is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the second moving plate. A lower pressure plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the pressure detector. The pressure detector is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer circular wall of the rotating plate is provided with two first limiting holes, and the inner circular wall of the first limiting hole is movably sleeved with a second limiting post, and the second limiting post is fixedly installed with the second clamping plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the test platform is provided with a rectangular groove, the bottom surface of the rectangular groove is provided with a third circular through hole, the inner circular wall of the third circular through hole is fixedly sleeved with a third hydraulic cylinder, and the top surface of the telescopic shaft of the third hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed with a moving platform.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of first limiting posts are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mobile platform, and a plurality of limiting grooves are opened on the inner bottom surface of the rectangular groove, the limiting grooves being movably connected to the first limiting posts.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the second movable plate is provided with two second limiting holes, which are movably connected to the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] By using the test platform, steel pipe, moving pipe, fixed plate, first hydraulic cylinder, first moving plate, and first clamping plate in coordination, the compressive strength test of the steel pipe can be achieved. The first clamping plate applies pressure to both sides of the steel pipe, while the rotating second clamping plate presses down on the upper left and right sides of the steel pipe, preventing the steel pipe from shifting during the test due to insufficient lateral fixation. This multi-directional limitation of the steel pipe ensures its fixation. At the same time, by activating the third hydraulic cylinder to push the moving platform upward, the support for the steel pipe can be removed, allowing for bending resistance testing. This method is quite practical. Attached Figure Description

A first circular through hole is provided on one side of each fixed plate 4. A first hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the first circular through hole. One end of the telescopic shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly installed with the first moving plate 6. A rotating plate 8 is movably sleeved inside the first clamping plate 7. Rotating columns 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating plate 8. A second circular through hole is opened on both sides of the first clamping plate 7. The inner wall of the second circular through hole is movably sleeved with the rotating column 13. A fixing hole 9 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating plate 8. A second hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the fixing hole 9. A second clamping plate 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the telescopic shaft of the second hydraulic cylinder 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, a support frame 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the test bench 1. A fourth circular through hole is opened on the top surface of the support frame 18.

The second limiting holes 23 are movably sleeved with the support frame 18.

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: When the user needs to perform a pressure test on the steel pipe 2, the user picks up the steel pipe 2 and places it between the top surface of the moving pipe 3 and the two first clamping plates 7. Then, the two first hydraulic cylinders 5 are activated to push the first moving plate 6 to move, causing the first clamping plates 7 to move towards each other, thus squeezing the steel pipe 2. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 11 is activated to push the second clamping plate 10 to move, and the second hydraulic cylinder 11 is rotated around the rotating column 13, so that the second clamping plate 10 faces the outer wall of the steel pipe 2. The second hydraulic cylinder 11 pushes the two second clamping plates 10 to move, squeezing the outer wall of the steel pipe 2, thus allowing downward pressure and limiting on the left and right sides of the steel pipe 2, limiting the steel pipe 2 in multiple directions, ensuring the fixing effect of the steel pipe 2. Afterwards, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 19 is activated to push the second moving plate 20 downward. The movement of the pressure detector 21 and the lower pressure plate 22 causes them to move downwards, thereby pressing down on the steel pipe 2 through the lower pressure plate 22 to perform a compressive strength test on the steel pipe 2. The pressure detector 21 detects the downward pressure. At the same time, the third hydraulic cylinder 14 is activated to move the moving platform 15 downwards, so that the moving platform 15 no longer supports the bottom of the steel pipe 2, allowing for a bending resistance test on the steel pipe 2 to be performed, thus testing the bending resistance effect of the steel pipe 2. This achieves the comprehensive effect of testing the compressive strength performance of the steel pipe 2. The first clamping plate 7 applies pressure to both sides of the steel pipe 2, and the rotating second clamping plate 10 presses down on the upper left and right sides of the steel pipe 2, limiting the steel pipe in multiple directions and preventing the steel pipe 2 from shifting during the test due to insufficient lateral fixation, thus ensuring the fixation effect of the steel pipe 2. At the same time, by activating the third hydraulic cylinder 14 to push the moving platform 15 upwards, the support for the steel pipe 2 can be removed, allowing for a bending resistance test, which is quite practical.
