Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic tensile shear test fixtures, and in particular to a V-notch hydraulic tensile shear fixture. Background Technology
[0002] The standard ASTM D7078 / D7078M, "Standard Test Method for Determining Shear Properties of Composite Materials by V-Notch Shear Method", provides a method for determining the shear properties of high-modulus fiber-reinforced composite materials by clamping the two ends of a V-notch specimen onto two pairs of loading rails.
[0003] In the process of realizing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art: With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the gradual improvement of the performance of composite materials, the traditional manual V-notch shearing fixture can no longer meet the current needs, and there are problems such as slippage during the test and the complexity of the sample installation process.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0025] A V-notch hydraulic tensile shear fixture includes an upper clamp 4, a sample 6, and a lower clamp 9. Handles 3 are fixedly installed at the edges of both ends of the upper and lower clamps 4 and 9. Jacks 5 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the upper and lower clamps 4 and 9. A centering block 7 is fixedly installed at the front end of the lower clamp 9. An upper connector 1 is fixedly installed at the front end of the upper clamp 4, and a lower connector 10 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the lower clamp 9. Locking nuts 2 are threaded onto the outer sides of both the upper and lower connectors 1 and 10. Movable jaws are fixedly installed at the upper ends of the piston rods of the two jacks 5, and fixed jaws are fixedly installed at the inner ends of both the upper and lower clamps 4 and 9. The sample 6 is placed between the two movable jaws and the two fixed jaws. The handles 3 are curved, and the centering block 7 is V-shaped and contacts one side of the sample 6. A guide rod connects the upper and lower clamps 4 and 9, with a scale line at its upper end. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the edge of opposite sides of the upper and lower clamps 4 and 9.
[0026] Specifically, during installation, the fixture is mounted on the lower connector 10 of the testing machine, the pin is inserted, and the locking nut 2 is tightened. The connecting plates 8 on both sides of the fixture are removed. The position of the middle crossbeam is moved so that the upper fixture is close to the upper connector 1. The upper fixture is then mounted into the upper connector 1, the pin is inserted, and the locking nut 2 is tightened. Then, the oil pipes of the oil source are connected to the connectors of the upper and lower fixtures respectively. The middle crossbeam is moved upward to the upper scale line position, and the centering block 7 is placed in the positioning groove of the lower fixture. After the sample 6 is placed on the centering block 7, the clamping button on the oil source manual control box is pressed to clamp the sample 6 with the lower fixture. Next, the force value is zeroed, and the middle crossbeam is moved downwards until the upper clamp coincides with the long scale on the guide rod. Then, the clamping button on the oil source control box is pressed again to clamp the upper clamp to fix the sample 6. Through optimized design and stable clamping system, the clamp significantly reduces slippage during the test, ensures the accuracy of the test results, and effectively improves the consistency of the test results. At the same time, the simple operation design of the clamp not only shortens the preparation time but also improves the testing efficiency and reduces the workload of the operators.
[0027] Working Principle: During installation, install the fixture onto the lower connector 10 of the testing machine, insert the pin, tighten the locking nut 2, remove the connecting plates 8 on both sides of the fixture, move the middle crossbeam to bring the upper fixture closer to the upper connector 1, install the upper fixture into the upper connector 1, insert the pin, and tighten the locking nut 2. Then, connect the oil pipe of the oil source to the connectors of the upper and lower fixtures respectively, move the middle crossbeam upward to the upper scale line position, and place the centering block 7 in the positioning groove of the lower fixture. After the sample 6 is placed on the centering block 7, press the clamping button on the oil source manual control box to clamp the sample 6 with the lower fixture. Next, zero the force value, move the middle crossbeam downward until the upper fixture coincides with the long scale on the guide rod, and then press the clamping button on the oil source manual control box again to clamp the upper fixture to fix the sample 6.
