[0020] The following is a detailed description of a positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces applicable to various widths, provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Example
[0022] Figure 1 This invention provides a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces of various widths, as shown in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This shows a top view of the lap joint specimen positioning fixture applicable to various widths provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the positioning base provided in an embodiment of this utility model is shown; Figure 4 This invention provides a top view of a single-overlapping specimen in a positioning fixture for overlapping specimens of various widths, as shown in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 A three-dimensional structural diagram of a single-lapped specimen provided in an embodiment of this utility model is shown. Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, the positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces of various widths provided by this utility model embodiment is suitable for riveting tests on single overlapping test pieces 3 of various width types, in order to test the influence of different materials or different riveting edge distances on the riveting test effect. The positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces of various widths provided by this utility model embodiment includes: a positioning base 1 and at least four positioning blocks 2, wherein the positioning base 1 is provided with a first groove 11, a second groove 12, and a riveting opening 13. The positioning blocks 2 and the second groove 12 are evenly distributed and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first groove 11, thereby ensuring that single overlapping test pieces 3 of various width specifications are always in the middle position of the positioning base 1. It is worth noting that the number of positioning blocks 2 and the second groove 12 can be set to four, six, eight, ..., so that the positioning blocks 2 can position the single overlapping test pieces 3. The positioning is more accurate, stable and reliable, and the two relatively set second grooves 12 can be connected to each other to form a groove structure; the lower part of the positioning block 2 can be placed in the second groove 12 and adapt to the shape of the second groove 12 to realize the positioning of the single overlapping test piece 3, while avoiding the shaking phenomenon of the positioning block 2; the upper part of the positioning block 2 should be higher than the bottom plane of the first groove 11 and be able to contact and connect with the side of the single overlapping test piece 3, one end of the positioning block 2 can abut the side of the first groove 11, and the other end of the positioning block 2 can abut the side of the single overlapping test piece 3; the riveting opening 13 is set at the center of the positioning base 1 to realize the riveting operation of the single overlapping test piece 3, which makes it easy to use the riveting gun on the riveting equipment to penetrate into the riveting opening 13 to realize the riveting operation of the single overlapping test piece 3.
[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, a positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces applicable to multiple widths is provided. Furthermore, the positioning block 2 is replaceable to achieve positioning of single overlapping test pieces 3 of different widths. This function can be achieved by replacing the positioning block 2 with different lengths, while the positioning base 1 remains unchanged. This greatly enhances the versatility of the positioning fixture, reduces the number of fixture specifications, saves materials, thereby reducing costs and facilitating fixture management. It is worth noting that the cross-sectional shape of the positioning block 2 can be set to various shapes such as circular, square, and trapezoidal, including but not limited to the aforementioned cross-sectional shapes, as long as it can adapt to the shape of the second groove 12. No specific limitation is made to the cross-sectional shape of the positioning block 2 here.
[0024] In a positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces of various widths provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the second groove 12 is further provided with a second chamfer 121 to facilitate the placement and removal of the positioning block 2. Figure 2In the top view of the second groove 12, it is rectangular, and four second chamfers 121 are respectively set at the four apex positions in the top view of the second groove 12; the apex of the first groove 11 is provided with a first chamfer 111 to facilitate the placement and removal of the single overlapping test piece 3. The shape of the first groove 11 is set as rectangular, so the four first chamfers 111 are respectively set at the four apex positions of the first groove 11. By using the first chamfer 111 and the second chamfer 121, the disadvantage of inconvenience in placement and removal due to the small gap between the single overlapping test piece 3 and the positioning base 1, the positioning block 2 and the second groove 12 is effectively avoided. At the same time, the influence of the chamfer caused by the rounded corner of the machining tool at the apex of the groove is reduced, the positioning is more accurate, and the placement and removal are quick and convenient.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the positioning fixture for overlapping test pieces with various widths provided in this utility model embodiment is reasonably designed, has a simple structure, and is convenient and quick to adjust and replace. By replacing the positioning blocks 2 of different specifications, it solves the positioning problem of single overlapping test pieces 3 with various widths during the riveting process, reduces the types of fixtures, has good versatility, reduces the cost of use, can adapt to test pieces with various widths, and meets the fixture positioning needs of users for various test pieces.
