Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal hardness testing technology, and in particular to a hardness testing device for metal matrix composite materials. Background Technology
[0002] Metal matrix composites are composite materials made by artificially combining metals and their alloys as the matrix with one or more metallic or non-metallic reinforcing phases. The reinforcing materials are mostly inorganic non-metals, such as ceramics, carbon, graphite, and boron, but metal wires can also be used. Together with polymer matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, and carbon / carbon composites, they constitute the modern composite material system.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN214010955U discloses a hardness testing device for metal matrix composite materials. In operation, the device utilizes a first and second pulley to rotate the support rod and rotating plate, a second cylinder to move the vacuum suction cup, a pneumatic three-jaw chuck to clamp the workpiece, a first cylinder to move the hardness tester body, a collection box to collect the tested workpiece, a second connecting plate to lift the workpiece within the storage box, and teeth to drive the first gear. The device, which moves the moving teeth and incorporates a control panel, allows for controllable operation. However, this device can only perform hardness testing on a single point on the material. Metal matrix composites often exhibit microstructural inhomogeneity, and the distribution of reinforcing phases may be inconsistent. This can lead to significant differences in hardness test results at different locations, necessitating multiple tests at various points on the material. Furthermore, due to the activation of the three-jaw chuck, this device is not suitable for observing materials of different shapes during hardness testing, nor is it easy to detect whether the material being tested is deformed. Therefore, a new hardness testing device for metal matrix composites needs to be designed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

A drive groove 10 is opened on the upper end surface of the fixing block 3. A transmission device is provided in the drive groove 10, and the output end of the transmission device is rotatably connected to the upper end surface of the fixing block 3. A sliding groove 14 is opened on the output end of the transmission device. A moving device is provided in the sliding groove 14. A cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the moving device. The cylinder 8 can drive the hardness testing device to move.
[0023] The transmission device includes a drive motor 11 and a connecting shaft 12. The drive motor 11 is fixedly installed in the drive groove 10, and the connecting shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the upper end face of the fixed block 3. A gear 4 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 11, and a half gear 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 12. The half gear 13 meshes with the gear 4. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the connecting shaft 12, and a sliding groove 14 is opened on the lower end face of the mounting plate 5. The drive motor 11 can drive the gear 4 to rotate, the gear 4 can drive the half gear 13 to rotate, and the half gear can drive the connecting rod 12 to rotate synchronously.
[0024] The moving device includes a threaded rod 24, one end of which is mounted on the inner wall of the slide groove 14 via a bearing. The threaded rod 24 is threadedly connected to a slider 15, which is slidably connected within the slide groove 14. The cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the slider 15.

The drive motor 11 drives the gear 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 4 drives the half gear 13 to rotate. The rotation of the half gear 13 drives the connecting shaft 12 to rotate, and then the mounting plate 5 can rotate at a certain angle following the connecting shaft 12. The angle of the mounting plate 5 can be adjusted according to the point where the material hardness needs to be tested. Then the first motor 6 can be started. The output shaft of the first motor 6 drives the threaded rod 24 to rotate, and the output shaft of the threaded rod 24 drives the slider 15, which is threaded to it, to slide in the slide groove 14.
