Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardness testing technology, and in particular to an adaptive hardness tester. Background Technology
[0002] A hardness tester is a specialized instrument used to measure the surface hardness of metals.

Benchtop hardness testers are mainly used in laboratories and have the advantage of high accuracy. Portable hardness testers are suitable for installed mechanical or permanently assembled parts and are easy to carry.
[0003] Traditional adaptive hardness testers have some drawbacks. In actual operation, the test plate needs to be clamped under the testing equipment. Also, due to the different thicknesses of the test plates, workers need to limit the test plates of different thicknesses, which makes the operation steps cumbersome and inconvenient for measuring the test plates. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown, an adaptive hardness tester includes a test chamber 1. A hardness testing mechanism 7 is provided inside the test chamber 1. The hardness testing mechanism 7 includes a fixed frame 71 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the test chamber 1. A guide platform 72 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame 71. A hydraulic cylinder 73 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide platform 72. A pressing block 74 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 73. A placement frame 75 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the test chamber 1 near the fixed frame 71. A test plate 76 is placed inside the placement frame 75. A support pad 77 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the placement frame 75. A stabilizing support rod 78 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the placement frame 75. A plane measuring instrument 79 is installed inside the guide platform 72.
[0021] In this embodiment, a stabilizing rod 710 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the plane measuring instrument 79. The fixing frame 71 is L-shaped and there are two sets of fixing frames 71. The upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 73 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the test chamber 1. The lower end of the lower pressure block 74 is in contact with the upper end of the test plate 76. The support pad 77 is stepped and the upper end of the support pad 77 is in contact with the lower end of the test plate 76. The lower end of the stabilizing rod 78 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the test chamber 1. The lower end of the plane measuring instrument 79 is in contact with the upper end of the test plate 76 near the front side of the lower pressure block 74. The upper end of the stabilizing rod 710 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the test chamber 1 near the front side of the hydraulic cylinder 73.
[0022] Specifically, the test plate 76 is inserted into the placement rack 75, and then the support pad 77 is inserted into the placement rack 75. The support pad 77 is gradually pushed into the placement rack 75. The support pad 77 is stepped, so the support pad 77 uses the steps on its surface to clamp the test plate 76 into the placement rack 75. This allows the support pad 77 to directly accommodate test plates 76 of different thicknesses, thus directly limiting the thickness of the test plates 76. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 73 is activated, causing the hydraulic cylinder 73 to push the lower pressure block 74 downward and apply downward pressure to the test plate 76. This downward pressure compresses the test plate 76, forcing the test plate 76 to resist the downward pressure with its own strength. If the test... When the strength of the test plate 76 is low, it will deform under downward pressure. At this time, the flatness measuring instrument 79 will detect the change in the flatness of the test plate 76, and then determine the strength of the test plate 76 by measuring the change in flatness. The test plate 76 is inserted into the placement frame 75, and then the support pad 77 is inserted into the placement frame 75. The support pad 77 is gradually pushed into the placement frame 75. The support pad 77 is stepped, which can make it easy for the support pad 77 to use the steps on its surface to clamp the test plate 76 in the placement frame 75. This allows the support pad 77 to directly adapt to test plates 76 of different thicknesses, and allows the support pad 77 to directly limit the test plates 76 of different thicknesses.
[0023] In this embodiment, a door cover 2 is movably connected to the inner side of the test chamber 1 near the front side of the hardness testing mechanism 7 via a rotating shaft. A transparent plate 3 is embedded inside the door cover 2. A door handle 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the door cover 2. A base 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the test chamber 1. A support leg 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base 5. There are four sets of support legs 6, and the four sets of support legs 6 are distributed at the four corners of the lower end of the base 5.
[0024] Specifically, first, pull the door handle 4 to make the door cover 2 rotate, then insert the test plate 76 into the placement rack 75, then close the door cover 2, and allow the worker to observe the situation inside the test chamber 1 through the transparent plate 3.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] In use, the worker first pulls the door handle 4, causing the door cover 2 to rotate. Then, the test plate 76 is inserted into the placement rack 75, and the support pad 77 is also inserted into the rack 75. The support pad 77 is gradually pushed into the rack 75. The support pad 77 is stepped, allowing it to secure the test plate 76 within the rack 75. This allows the support pad 77 to directly accommodate test plates 76 of different thicknesses, thus directly limiting the thickness of the test plates 76. The door cover 2 is then closed, and the worker observes the test chamber 1 through the viewing panel 3. At this point, the hydraulic cylinder 73 is activated, pushing the lower pressure block 74 downwards and applying downward pressure to the test plate 76, thereby causing the lower pressure block to... The pressure compresses the test plate 76, causing it to resist the downward pressure with its own strength. If the strength of the test plate 76 is low, it will deform under the downward pressure. At this time, the flatness measuring instrument 79 detects the change in the flatness of the test plate 76, and then determines the strength of the test plate 76 by measuring the change in flatness. The test plate 76 is inserted into the placement frame 75, and then the support pad 77 is inserted into the placement frame 75. The support pad 77 is gradually pushed into the placement frame 75. The support pad 77 is stepped, which allows the support pad 77 to use the steps on its surface to clamp the test plate 76 in the placement frame 75. This allows the support pad 77 to directly adapt to test plates 76 of different thicknesses, thus directly limiting the test plates 76 of different thicknesses.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
