Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lock manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a universal fixture and tensile testing machine for lock tensile testing. Background Technology

[0002] Locks may be subjected to various external forces during normal use (such as impact, pulling, prying, etc.). Tensile testing can effectively simulate these extreme stress scenarios, verify the structural integrity and functional reliability of key components such as the lock body, bolt, and shank under specified loads, and ensure that the product meets safety performance requirements. In existing technical solutions, lock tensile testing usually requires fixing the sample on a special fixture first, and then installing the fixture as a whole into a tensile testing machine for testing.

[0003] According to the standard "Bicycle Locks" (QB1001-2006), there are significant differences in the static tensile strength test requirements for two commonly used bicycle locks: U-locks require a square metal rod and either one or two round metal rods to be fixed to the tensile strength testing machine; while bar locks require two round metal rods. This difference necessitates the use of various sizes of metal rod clamps during testing, requiring frequent disassembly and replacement to accommodate the testing needs of different lock types. This not only increases the complexity of the testing process and extends the testing cycle but also significantly increases labor and time costs, thus hindering the overall efficiency of lock testing.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a universal fixture and tensile testing machine for locks to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal fixture and tensile testing machine for locks, which can be applied to different types of locks, and the locks are easy to install, which significantly reduces the operational complexity of lock tensile testing and improves the efficiency of lock tensile testing.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On the one hand, a universal fixture for testing the tensile strength of locks is provided, including:

[0008] The first and second supports are arranged at intervals along the test direction;

[0009] The lock comprises a square bar, at least one first round bar, and at least one second round bar.

A square rod and a first round rod can pass through both ends of the first U-shaped arm, and a second round rod can pass through both ends of the first U-shaped arm.

[0013] Optionally, a first test port is formed between a square rod and a first support, the square rod having a square cross-section, and at least one second circular rod having the same diameter as the side length of the square rod.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a universal fixture for lock tensile testing, which can be applied to different types of locks and is easy to install, significantly reducing the operational complexity of lock tensile testing and improving the efficiency of lock tensile testing.

[0042] See Figure 2 The universal fixture for testing the tensile strength of locks includes a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a square bar 3, at least one first circular bar 4, and at least one second circular bar 5. The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are aligned along the testing direction. Figure 2 The lock is arranged at intervals in the X direction. Square rods 3 and first circular rods 4 are detachably connected to the first bracket 1, and a first test port 14 is formed between the square rod 3 or the first circular rod 4 and the first bracket 1 for one end of the lock to pass through. Second circular rods 5 are detachably connected to the second bracket 2, and a second test port 23 is formed between the second circular rod 5 and the second bracket 2 for the other end of the lock to pass through. The test direction is the direction of the tensile force experienced by the lock during the test.

[0043] The universal fixture for testing the tensile strength of locks provided in this embodiment allows for various applications. When testing the static tensile strength of a U-shaped lock, the first test port 14 can be formed between the square rod 3 and the first support 1, or between the first circular rod 4 and the first support 1. The lock body 101 of the U-shaped lock passes through the first test port 14, and the lock beam 102 passes through the second test port 23, thus securing the U-shaped lock to the fixture. When testing the static tensile strength of a bar lock, the first test port 14 is formed between the first circular rod 4 and the first support 1. The lock body 101 of the bar lock passes through both the first test port 14 and the second test port 23, thus securing the bar lock to the fixture. This design not only makes operation convenient and quick but also allows the universal fixture for testing the tensile strength of locks provided in this embodiment to be applicable to both U-shaped and bar locks, expanding its versatility. Furthermore, when testing different types of locks using the universal lock tensile testing fixture provided in this embodiment, only the square bar 3, the first circular bar 4, and the second circular bar 5 need to be adjusted. There is no need to repeatedly change the fixture on the tensile testing machine to adapt to the specifications and types of locks, which significantly reduces the operational complexity of lock tensile testing and improves the efficiency of lock tensile testing.

[0044] Specifically, see Figure 2 The square rod 3 and the first circular rod 4 are simultaneously mounted on the first bracket 1. The square rod 3 and the first circular rod 4 are spaced apart along the test direction on the first bracket 1, with the square rod 3 located on the side of the first circular rod 4 facing the second bracket 2. The first test port 14 is formed by the first bracket 1 and the square rod 3 or the first bracket 1 and the first circular rod 4, and the first test port 14 formed by the square rod 3 and the first bracket 1 partially overlaps with the first test port 14 formed by the first circular rod 4 and the first bracket 1. When multiple second circular rods 5 are provided, one of the multiple second circular rods 5 can form a second test port 23 with the second bracket 2, and the second test ports 23 formed by different second circular rods 5 and the second bracket 2 will also partially overlap.

[0045] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The first test port 14 is formed between the square rod 3 and the first support 1. The cross-sectional shape of the square rod 3 is square, and the diameter of at least one second circular rod 5 is the same as the side length of the square rod 3.

[0046] For example, when the side length of the square bar 3 is 25mm and the diameter of the second circular bar 5 forming the second test port 23 with the second bracket 2 is 25mm, the U-lock can be fixed to the universal clamp for lock tensile testing. The lock body 101 of the U-lock can fit against the surface of the square bar 3, and the lock beam 102 of the U-lock can fit against the second circular bar 5.

[0047] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 When multiple first circular rods 4 and multiple second circular rods 5 are provided, one of the multiple first circular rods 4 can form a first test port 14 with the first bracket 1, and one of the multiple second circular rods 5 can form a second test port 23 with the second bracket 2. The diameters of the multiple first circular rods 4 and the multiple second circular rods 5 are different to accommodate the testing of different types of locks.

[0048] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 At least one of the first circular rods 4 has the same diameter as one of the plurality of second circular rods 5.

[0049] For example, when the diameter of the first circular rod 4 forming the first test opening 14 with the first bracket 1 is 20mm, and the diameter of the second circular rod 5 forming the second test opening 23 with the second bracket 2 is 20mm, the U-lock can be fixed to the universal fixture for lock tensile testing. The lock body 101 of the U-lock can fit against the surface of the first circular rod 4, and the lock beam 102 of the U-lock can fit against the second circular rod 5. When the diameter of the first circular rod 4 forming the first test opening 14 with the first bracket 1 is 25mm, and the diameter of the second circular rod 5 forming the second test opening 23 with the second bracket 2 is 25mm, the bar lock can be fixed to the universal fixture for lock tensile testing. The lock beam 102 of the bar lock is wound around the first circular rod 4 and the second circular rod 5, and fits against the first circular rod 4 and the second circular rod 5.

[0050] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first bracket 1 is provided with square holes 12 and first circular holes 11 spaced apart along a first direction, the first direction referring to... Figure 2 In the opposite direction of X, the square rod 3 can pass through the square hole 12, and the first circular rod 4 can pass through the first circular hole 11, thus realizing the installation of the square rod 3 and the first circular rod 4 on the first bracket 1, and making disassembly convenient.

[0051] Specifically, see Figure 6In the orientation, the square hole 12 is located on the side of the first circular hole 11 near the second bracket 2.

[0052] For example, the square hole 12 is a square with a side length of 25mm, and there are two first circular holes 11. One first circular hole 11 has a diameter of 25mm and the other first circular hole 11 has a diameter of 20mm. The smaller diameter first circular hole 11 is located on the side of the larger diameter first circular hole 11 that is away from the square hole 12.

[0053] In some embodiments, to facilitate the lock passing through the first test port 14 and the second test port 23, the unused square rod 3, the first circular rod 4, and / or the second circular rod 5 can be removed from the first bracket 1 or the second bracket 2. For example, when the first test port 14 is formed between the square rod 3 and the first bracket 1, the unused first circular rod 4 can be removed from the first circular hole 11; when the first test port 14 is formed between the first circular rod 4 and the first bracket 1, the unused square rod 3 can be removed from the square hole 12.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second bracket 2 is provided with a second circular hole 21, through which the second circular rod 5 can pass, thereby realizing the installation of the second circular rod 5 on the second bracket 2 and making it easy to disassemble.

[0055] For example, there are two second circular holes 21, one with a diameter of 25 mm and the other with a diameter of 20 mm, and the larger diameter second circular hole 21 is located on the side of the smaller diameter second circular hole 21 closer to the first bracket 1.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 7 The first bracket 1 includes a first U-shaped arm, and the second bracket 2 includes a second U-shaped arm. The openings of the first and second U-shaped arms are opposite each other. A square rod 3 and a first circular rod 4 can pass through both ends of the first U-shaped arm, and a second circular rod 5 can pass through both ends of the second U-shaped arm. This arrangement allows the lock under test to be installed on the central axis of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, keeping the lock under test on the central axis of the tensile testing machine, ensuring that the lock under test is subjected to uniform and accurate force, and improving the accuracy of the test. At the same time, it ensures the stability of the square rod 3 and the first circular rod 4 installed on the first bracket 1, and the stability of the second circular rod 5 installed on the second bracket 2. Moreover, the first and second U-shaped arms also provide space for the connection between the lock and the square rod 3, the first circular rod 4, and the second circular rod 5, making it convenient for operators to quickly install the lock onto the universal lock tensile testing fixture.

[0057] Specifically, see Figure 7The first U-shaped arm has a square hole 12 and a first circular hole 11 at both ends, and the second U-shaped arm has a second circular hole 21 at both ends.

[0058] Optionally, see Figure 7 The first circular rod 4, the second circular rod 5 and / or the square rod 3 are provided with a blocking part 6. The blocking part 6 can contact the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 to prevent the first circular rod 4 or the square rod 3 from detaching from the first bracket 1 during the test, and to prevent the second circular rod 5 from detaching from the second bracket 2, thus ensuring the stability of the lock installed on the universal lock tensile test fixture during the tensile test.

[0059] For example, see Figure 7 The blocking part 6 of the first circular rod 4 is a cylindrical block, and the cross-sectional diameter of the blocking part 6 of the first circular rod 4 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the first circular rod 4, so that the blocking part 6 will not enter the first circular hole 11; the blocking part 6 of the second circular rod 5 is a cylindrical block, and the cross-sectional diameter of the blocking part 6 of the second circular rod 5 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the second circular rod 5, so that the blocking part 6 will not enter the second circular hole 21; the blocking part 6 of the square rod 3 is a cube with a square cross-sectional shape, and the side length of the cross-section of the blocking part 6 of the square rod 3 is larger than the side length of the cross-section of the square rod 3, so that the blocking part 6 will not enter the square hole 12.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a tensile testing machine, including a tensile testing machine body 200 and a universal clamp for lock tensile testing according to Embodiment 1. The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 of the universal clamp for lock tensile testing are detachably mounted on the tensile testing machine body 200. The detachable connection between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 and the tensile testing machine body 200 facilitates quick replacement and maintenance of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 by subsequent personnel.

[0062] Specifically, see Figure 6 The tensile testing machine also includes a first fastener and a second fastener. The first bracket 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 13, through which the first fastener can pass and connect to the tensile testing machine body 200. The second bracket 2 is provided with a second connecting hole 22, through which the second fastener can pass and connect to the tensile testing machine body 200, thus realizing the connection between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 and the tensile testing machine body 200.

[0063] For example, the first and second fasteners are bolts, allowing the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 to be detachably mounted on the tensile testing machine body 200. During testing, the tester secures the first bracket 1 to the tensile testing machine body 200, and then... Figure 1Pulling the second bracket 2 in the X direction will complete the lock's tension test.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present utility model.
