Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical performance testing technology, specifically a tension rod mechanical performance testing device. Background Technology

[0002] A pull rod is a rod-shaped structure used to pull objects or devices. It is widely used in various furniture, machinery and vehicles, and is a structure that is easy for people to hold. During the production and processing of pull rods, their mechanical properties are tested to ensure that they can be used normally in daily life.

[0003] A mechanical property testing device, with announcement number CN221199252U, consists of a housing as the main body. A lifting motor is fixed inside the housing, and a lifting threaded rod is fixed to the output end of the lifting motor. A lifting block is rotatably mounted on the lifting threaded rod. In use, the clamping motor drives the rubbing gear to rotate, thereby causing four sets of pressing frames to rotate simultaneously. Then, the lifting motor is started, which drives the lifting mechanism to rotate, causing the lifting toothed plate to drive the extension frame to descend. This causes the pressing frame to rotate to the top side of the material to be tested and press it down, thus fixing the material inside the pressing frame and the fitting frame, preventing vibration of the material during the test, and ensuring that the test data is not biased.

[0004] The mechanical performance testing device described above also has a problem: its fixing structure can only clamp parts of a fixed type or shape, and cannot fix tubular structures such as tie rods, which makes it impossible for the device to test their mechanical performance, resulting in a limited range of applicability.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] This embodiment provides a device for testing the mechanical properties of a tie rod, including:

[0032] Test bench 1, with clamping mechanisms 101 fixed at both ends of the top side of test bench 1, a tensioning mechanism 102 provided at one end of the bottom side of test bench 1, and a bending mechanism 103 provided at the center of the bottom side of test bench 1.

[0033] The clamping mechanism 101 includes lower clamping plates 2 symmetrically installed at both ends of the top side of the test bench 1. A fixing plate 3 is symmetrically fixed at one end of the top side of the lower clamping plate 2. A limit rod 4 is fixed at the top side of the fixing plate 3. An upper clamping plate 5 is slidably installed on the limit rod 4. A connecting seat 6 is fixed on the side of the lower clamping plate 2 and the upper clamping plate 5. A connecting rod 7 is rotatably installed on the connecting seat 6. The center of the two connecting rods 7 is rotatably connected by a pin. A rotating seat 8 is rotatably installed at one end of the connecting rod 7. A lead screw 9 is rotatably inserted into the inner side of the rotating seat 8. The threads on both sides of the lead screw 9 are in opposite directions. A disc 10 is fixed at both ends of the lead screw 9. A handle 11 is fixed at the top edge of the disc 10.

[0034] Specifically, support plates 12 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the top side of the test bench 1, and slide rods 13 are fixed inside the support plates 12. One end of the lower clamping plate 2 is fixedly connected to the test bench 1, and the other end of the lower clamping plate 2 is slidably connected to the slide rod 13 through the sliding seat 14.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower clamping plate 2 structure, which is fixed and movable on both sides, can clamp and fix materials such as tie rods without affecting subsequent mechanical performance testing, making the device more flexible and convenient to use.

[0036] In use, place the pull rod or the material to be tested between the lower clamping plate 2 and the upper clamping plate 5. Rotate the disc 10 by using the handle 11 to make it drive the lead screw 9 to rotate. Since the threads at both ends are opposite, the lead screw 9 will drive the rotating seats 8 at both ends to move inward at the same time while rotating. Thus, with the cooperation of the connecting rod 7, the upper clamping plate 5 will move along the limiting rod 4 to the lower clamping plate 2, thereby clamping and fixing the pull rod or other materials for mechanical property testing.

[0037] In summary, the clamping mechanism 101, through the cooperation of the lead screw 9 to drive the two clamping plates to merge, achieves the function of clamping and fixing the material to be tested. This structure can be used for tubular materials such as tie rods, as well as plate-shaped or other shaped materials, and has a wider range of applications.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Please see Figures 4-5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0040] Specifically, the tensile mechanism 102 includes a housing 16 fixed to one end of the bottom side of the test bench 1. A threaded rod 19 is rotatably installed inside the housing 16. A rectangular groove 15 is opened at one end of the top side of the test bench 1. A movable seat 17 is slidably installed inside the rectangular groove 15. The movable seat 17 is fixedly connected to the lower clamping plate 2. A servo motor 18 is fixed to one end of the housing 16. The output end of the servo motor 18 passes through the housing 16 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 19. The movable seat 17 is rotatably connected to the threaded rod 19.

[0041] Furthermore, through the structure of the rectangular groove 15 and the threaded rod 19, the lower clamping plate 2 on one side can be moved along the direction of the threaded rod 19, thereby stretching the pull rod. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0042] Specifically, the bending mechanism 103 includes a lifting platform 20 installed on the bottom side of the test bench 1. Hydraulic cylinders 26 are fixed at both ends of the lifting platform 20. Hydraulic rods 27 are slidably installed inside the hydraulic cylinders 26. The top of the hydraulic rods 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the test bench 1. Vertical plates 21 are symmetrically fixed on the top side of the lifting platform 20. A card seat 22 is fastened to the top side of the vertical plate 21. A fixing rod 24 is inserted between the card seat 22 and the inner side of the vertical plate 21. A pressing plate 23 is fixed to the top of the card seat 22. A limiting groove 25 is opened at the center of the top side of the test bench 1. The pressing plate 23 is slidably installed inside the limiting groove 25.

[0043] Furthermore, the detachable extrusion plate 23 allows for disassembly and assembly as needed, enabling the pull rod to bend by pressing it from above or below, thus facilitating mechanical performance testing.

[0044] In use, after the pull rod is clamped and fixed, the servo motor 18 can be controlled to drive the output end threaded rod 19 to rotate, so that with the cooperation of the moving seat 17, it pulls the lower clamping plate 2 to move along the rectangular groove 15, thereby pulling one end of the pull rod to stretch it to test its mechanical properties. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 26 is controlled to extend and retract the inner hydraulic rod 27 to the required length. At this time, the vertical plate 21 is located on both sides of the pull rod. The card seat 22 can be fastened to the top side of the vertical plate 21, and the fixing rod 24 is inserted through the card seat 22 and the inner side of the vertical plate 21 to fix its position. At this time, the extrusion plate 23 can be installed on the top or bottom side of the pull rod as needed. The hydraulic cylinder 26 is controlled again to drive the lifting platform 20 to move up and down, thereby causing the extrusion plate 23 to extrude the pull rod to bend it, and its mechanical properties are tested.

[0045] In summary, the structure of the tensioning mechanism 102 and the bending mechanism 103 allows for separate tensioning and bending tests on the tie rod, or simultaneous tests, making the device more flexible and convenient to use.
