Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compression testing fixtures, and in particular to a reinforcing sheet bonding fixture that meets the requirements of SACMA SRM 1 standard compression test specimens. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon fiber prepreg is widely used in military and civilian fields due to its good axial strength, high modulus, light weight, mechanical properties and impact resistance.
[0003] To accurately and scientifically evaluate the performance of carbon fiber prepregs, whether in material-level testing or structural design testing, assessing the compressive properties of the prepregs is particularly important. The standard uses the SACMA recommended test method (SACMA 1R-94) for the compressive properties of oriented fiber reinforced resin composites to measure the compressive strength of carbon fiber prepregs. Reinforcing sheets are required to ensure that the specimens do not exhibit unacceptable failure modes at the ends during testing, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the data.
[0004] When fabricating test specimens using the SACMA 1R-94 standard, the bonding requirements for the reinforcing sheets are extremely high, including dimensions, accuracy, and position, with accuracy being the most critical. Because the gaps in the test plates are very small, and currently the bonding of reinforcing sheets mainly relies on manual marking, this presents a significant challenge to the operator's skills and eyesight.
[0005] Manual pasting has the following main disadvantages: 1. Position and accuracy rely on manual measurement and control, resulting in poor sample quality and low efficiency. This often manifests as asymmetry between the upper and lower reinforcing plates, and the middle section lacking a reinforcing plate being too large, significantly impacting subsequent test data. 2. Uneven pressure on the test plate can lead to reinforcing plates detaching during testing. Therefore, a convenient, stable, efficient, and effective sample preparation method is needed. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a reinforcing sheet bonding tool that meets the requirements of SACMA SRM 1 standard compression test specimens, so as to solve the technical problems in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a reinforcing sheet bonding fixture that meets the requirements of SACMA SRM standard compression test specimens. The fixture includes a split lower base plate and an upper pressure plate, wherein the lower base plate and the upper pressure plate have the same length and width dimensions, and both have several mating bolt holes at the same positions. The reinforcing sheet bonding fixture further includes:

[0009] A reinforcing sheet is located between the lower base plate and the upper pressure plate. The reinforcing sheet is the same size as the test plate used for the compression test, and the length of the reinforcing sheet is less than the length of the lower base plate, and the width of the reinforcing sheet is less than half the width of the lower base plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning blocks are provided in four sets, with two sets of positioning blocks located on the left side of the lower base plate and the other two sets symmetrically arranged on the right side of the lower base plate.

A front-to-back ridge is also provided at the middle position of the lower surface of the upper pressure plate, and the height difference between the ridge and the lower surface of the upper pressure plate is equal to the thickness of a reinforcing sheet.
[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the lower base plate is provided with two overflow grooves, which are located on the left and right sides of the protrusion, respectively.

[0014] According to the claim, a reinforcing sheet bonding fixture that meets the requirements of SACMA SRM standard compression test specimens is provided, wherein the reinforcing sheet comprises four pieces, which are respectively bonded to the upper and lower sides of two test plates.
[0015] Furthermore, a handle is provided on each of the front and rear side walls of the lower base plate, and a handle is provided on each of the left and right side walls of the upper pressure plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the horizontal portion of the positioning block presses against the upper surface of the lower base plate, and the thickness of the horizontal portion of the positioning block is less than or equal to the total thickness of the test plate plus two reinforcing plates, while the thickness of the horizontal portion of the positioning block is greater than or equal to the total thickness of the test plate plus one reinforcing plate.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1.

Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0031] The first aspect of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, to reduce reliance on worker experience and skills, a split-type lower base plate 1 and upper pressure plate 2 were designed. The lower base plate 1 and upper pressure plate 2 have the same length and width dimensions, and together they can clamp the test plate 4 and reinforcing plate 5 between the lower base plate 1 and upper pressure plate 2. The reinforcing plate 5 has the same dimensions as the test plate 4 used for compression tests, and its length is less than the length of the lower base plate 1, while its width is less than half the width of the lower base plate 1.
[0032] Therefore, two test plates 4 are sandwiched between the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2, and the two test plates 4 are located on the left and right sides of the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2, respectively. In addition, there are four reinforcing plates 5, which are respectively bonded to the upper and lower sides of the two test plates 4.
[0033] Several matching bolt holes 6, preferably six, are provided at the same positions on the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2. The lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2 are connected by bolts, which makes assembly and disassembly very convenient and ensures the stability after clamping.
[0034] Additionally, a positioning block 3 is fixedly connected to the lower base plate 1. The positioning block 3 is an L-shaped plate composed of a vertical part and a horizontal part, and the horizontal part of the positioning block 3 is located between the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2. The horizontal part of the positioning block 3 is used to position the test plate 4 and the reinforcing piece 5. The thickness of the horizontal part of the positioning block 3 can be changed to different specifications to meet the needs of making test pieces with different size requirements, thereby maximizing the value of the tooling.
[0035] The vertical part of the positioning block 3 is threaded to the outer wall of the lower base plate 1 by a hexagonal bolt 8, and the gap between the vertical part of the positioning block 3 and the outer wall of the lower base plate 1 can be adjusted by the hexagonal bolt 8. The horizontal part of the positioning block 3 presses against the upper surface of the lower base plate 1. The thickness of the horizontal part of the positioning block 3 is less than or equal to the total thickness of the test plate 4 plus the two reinforcing plates 5, and greater than or equal to the total thickness of the test plate 4 plus the one reinforcing plate 5.
[0036] Preferably, the positioning blocks 3 are provided in four sets, of which two sets of positioning blocks 3 are provided on the left side of the lower base plate 1, and the other two sets are symmetrically provided on the right side of the lower base plate 1.
[0037] By designing positioning blocks 3 to position reinforcing plates 5, the reinforcing plates 5 are prevented from moving outward, and the test plate 4 is sandwiched between the two reinforcing plates 5. Therefore, the positioning accuracy of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing plates 5 can be ensured, the position accuracy can be improved, and adverse situations such as positional displacement of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing plates 5 during assembly, handling and testing can be avoided.
[0038] The second aspect of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate better glue application and to ensure that the glue is applied too thickly, a front-to-back ridge is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the lower base plate 1. The height difference between this ridge and the upper surface of the lower base plate 1 is equal to the thickness of a reinforcing sheet 5. In addition, a front-to-back ridge is also provided in the middle of the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2. The height difference between this ridge and the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2 is equal to the thickness of a reinforcing sheet 5.
[0039] Two overflow grooves 7 are provided on the upper surface of the lower base plate 1. These two overflow grooves 7 are located on the left and right sides of the protrusion, respectively. Two overflow grooves 7 are also provided on the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2. These two overflow grooves 7 are located on the left and right sides of the protrusion, respectively.
[0040] Preferably, a handle 9 is provided on the front and rear side walls of the lower base plate 1, and a handle 9 is provided on the left and right side walls of the upper pressure plate 2.
[0041] Therefore, before the experiment, two layers of release agent were first applied to the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, and then a reinforcing sheet 5 was placed on each of the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1. Then, adhesive or adhesive film was applied to the bonding surface between the reinforcing sheet 5 and the test plate 4 as required.
[0042] Then begin assembling the test plate 4. First, place the test plate 4 on the lower reinforcing sheet 5, ensuring it fits snugly and is aligned. Then, place the reinforcing sheet 5 on top of the test plate 4, applying adhesive or film to the contact surfaces of both reinforcing sheets 5 and the test plate 4.
[0043] Next, place the positioning block 3 on the outside of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing plate 5. Apply two layers of release agent to the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2, place it on top of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing plate 5, use the hex bolt 8 to push the positioning block 3 to press and position the reinforcing plate 5, and then use bolts to press the upper pressure plate 2 and the lower base plate 1 together.
[0044] Finally, place it in an oven and cure it according to the curing parameters. After curing, remove the upper pressure plate 2 and the lower base plate 1, and then remove the positioning block 3 and the upper pressure plate 2 again. Take out the completed test piece, clean the tooling, and then you can start making the next test piece.
[0045] In summary, this utility model, by designing a positioning stop 3 to position the reinforcing piece 5, prevents the reinforcing piece 5 from shifting outwards. The test plate 4 is sandwiched between the two reinforcing pieces 5, thus ensuring the positioning accuracy of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing piece 5, improving positional accuracy, and avoiding adverse situations such as positional displacement of the test plate 4 and the reinforcing piece 5 during assembly, handling, and testing. Furthermore, a front-to-back convex strip is provided at the middle position of the upper surface of the lower base plate 1 and the middle position of the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2, and overflow grooves 7 are provided on the left and right sides of the convex strip of the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2. While ensuring that the reinforcing piece 5 is fully bonded to the test plate 4 under the pressure of the lower base plate and the upper pressure plate, excess overflow adhesive can be released, allowing the lower base plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 2 to clamp the test plate 4 and the reinforcing piece 5 more tightly and stably, meeting the requirements of test pieces with reinforcing pieces and eliminating the dependence on operator experience for test piece quality.
