Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy transfer equipment, and more specifically, to a transfer and storage sample rack for circular aluminum alloy performance samples. Background Technology

[0002] In the research, development, production, and quality testing of aluminum alloy materials, circular aluminum alloy performance samples are the key to obtaining aluminum alloy performance data. The quality of their transportation and storage directly affects the accuracy and reliability of subsequent test results.

[0003] Currently, simple pallets or cardboard boxes are commonly used for transporting circular aluminum alloy performance specimens. Because these containers lack specific securing structures, specimens are easily displaced or rolled off during handling due to collisions and shaking. This not only causes scratches and wear on the specimen surface, affecting its surface quality, but may also deform the specimen, altering its original properties and interfering with subsequent testing data. For example, specimens on pallets may collide during transport, causing dents or scratches on the working surfaces. When performance testing is performed on these damaged specimens, the results will not accurately reflect the original properties of the aluminum alloy material. Regarding storage, the common practice is to place specimens haphazardly on ordinary shelves, lacking effective classification and labeling management. This is especially problematic when storing broken specimens, easily leading to confusion. As the number of specimens increases, improper storage makes finding specific specimens extremely difficult, consuming significant time and manpower costs. It can also lead to specimen damage or mixing, negatively impacting subsequent necessary experimental analyses.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a specialized transport and storage rack for circular aluminum alloy performance specimens. It needs a robust fixing structure to ensure the safety of the specimens during transport; a reasonable classification and labeling system for easy retrieval and management during storage; and the integration of transport and storage functions to reduce the number of specimen loading and unloading operations and lower the risk of damage.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a transfer and storage sample rack for circular aluminum alloy performance samples, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a sample rack and sample tubes. The sample rack includes an upper plate 1 and several support columns 2. The upper plate 1 has multiple tube holes 3. The support columns 2 are all installed on the lower surface of the upper plate 1 and are used to support the upper plate 1. The length of each support column 2 is equal, so that the upper plate 1 is parallel to the ground to facilitate the transfer and storage of samples. The sample tube includes a tube body 4 and a tube head 5. The tube body 4 is used to place the sample. The diameter of the tube body 4 is smaller than the diameter of the tube hole 3, so that it can pass through the tube hole 3. The diameter of the tube head 5 is larger than the diameter of the tube hole 3, so that the tube head 5 cannot pass through the tube hole 3, thus leaving the tube body 4 on the upper plate 1. The sample tube is inserted into the tube hole 3 for placement.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the tube head 5 is fitted with a tube cap 6, and the upper surface of the tube cap 6 is provided with a text area or adhesive area.

[0026] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, casters 10 are installed on the lower surface of the lower frame plate 9. Installing casters 10 facilitates the movement of the entire sample holder.

[0027] When using the sample tube, remove the sample tube, open the cap 6 on the tube head 5, place the processed circular sample into the tube body 4, close the cap 6, affix the sample information label to the cap 6, and place the sample tubes into the tube holes 3 on the sample holder according to their numbers. Repeat the above steps for other samples. After loading the samples, hold the sample holder support 2 and move the sample holder to the required location. Perform tensile tests according to the sample information. After the tensile test, put any broken samples back into the original sample tubes, and then move the sample holder to the sample storage location for safekeeping. Record the sample information, the stored sample holder, and the sample tube number in the sample storage ledger for easy retrieval. When a sample needs to be retrieved, locate the sample holder and sample tube according to the ledger, compare the sample information on the cap 6, and find the required sample.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the working part of the commonly used circular sample is 50mm long and 10mm in diameter, the total length of the sample is 150mm, and the diameter of both ends is 14mm. The sample holder in this embodiment is made according to these specifications.
