Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire tensile testing technology, specifically a clamping fixture for a steel wire tensile testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of performance testing of metallic materials, the tensile properties of steel wire are one of the key indicators for evaluating its quality and applicability. It is widely used in many important industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and construction engineering. Accurately measuring parameters such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of steel wire is of vital importance for ensuring product structural safety and optimizing production processes. The successful conduct of steel wire tensile testing is inseparable from reliable clamping fixtures. As the connecting bridge between the steel wire tensile testing machine and the specimen, the performance of the clamping fixtures directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0003] For example, CN222825367U discloses a clamping fixture for a steel wire tensile testing machine, relating to the field of tensile testing equipment technology. It includes a base, a rotating disk, a movable clamping plate assembly, a transmission mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The movable clamping plate assembly is installed on the side wall of the base and slidably connected to it. The transmission mechanism converts the rotational motion of the rotating disk into the radial motion of the clamping plate assembly on the base. The positioning mechanism fixes the movable clamping plate assembly and the transmission mechanism in the required position, thereby clamping the steel wire loops at both ends of the steel wire, ensuring uniform force distribution on the steel wire during the tensile process and more accurate test data. However, the existing device cannot be paired with different mechanical testing equipment, exhibiting limited applicability and simplistic design. Furthermore, the device is prone to breakage under high tensile forces, posing certain safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a clamping fixture for a steel wire tensile testing machine to address these issues. Utility Model Content

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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] A clamping fixture for a steel wire tensile testing machine includes an mounting plate 1 and a fixing plate 2. A limit frame 3 is installed on the left side of the fixing plate 2. The fixing plate 2 is threadedly connected to the left side of the mounting plate 1. A clamping mechanism 4 is installed inside the limit frame 3. The clamping mechanism 4 includes an upper clamp 41 and a lower clamp 42, which clamp and limit the steel wire.
[0024] As a further feature of this invention, the mounting plate 1 has inner ring grooves 11 on both sides of its center. The mounting plate 1 is installed on the fixing plate 2 using bolts 12. The outer side of the mounting plate 1 has outer mounting holes 10 at equal intervals. The inner ring grooves 11 have four sets of outer connecting holes 111 inside, which can be installed on different devices for use.
[0025] Furthermore, the fixed plate 2 has four sets of internal connecting holes 21 inside. The internal connecting holes 21 have the same diameter as the external connecting holes 111 and are all threaded, which facilitates installation on the fixed plate.
[0026] Furthermore, a limiting hole 31 is opened inside the limiting frame 3. Slide rails 32 are installed on both inner walls of the limiting hole 31. A pad 33 is fixed at the bottom of the limiting hole 31 to facilitate the clamping mechanism to clamp the steel wire.
[0027] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper clamping member 41 includes an upper clamping plate 411 and two sets of upper rack plates 412. The upper clamping plate 411 slides within the slide rail 32 via sliders fixed on both sides. Two sets of upper rack plates 412 are laterally fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the upper clamping plate 411. An upper arc-shaped block 413 is fixed at the center of the two sets of upper rack plates 412. A sleeve 414 is fixed at the center of the top end of the upper clamping plate 411. The bottom end of a lead screw 415 is inserted into the sleeve 414. A screw cylinder 416 is sleeved at the center of the lead screw 415. The screw cylinder 416 is installed at the center of the top end of the limiting frame 3. The top of the clamp extends to the upper side of the limit frame 3. The lower clamp 42 includes a lower clamp plate 421 and two sets of lower rack plates 422. Both sides of the lower clamp plate 421 are provided with sliders that slide in the slide rail 32. Two sets of lower rack plates 422 are horizontally fixed on both sides of the top of the lower clamp plate 421. The tops of the two sets of lower rack plates 422 mesh with the top upper rack plate 412. The center of the two sets of lower rack plates 422 is fixed with a lower arc block 423. Multiple sets of springs 424 are fixed at the bottom of the lower clamp plate 421 and installed on the upper side of the pad block 33 to clamp and test steel wires of different sizes, thereby preventing the steel wires from breaking due to excessive pulling.
[0028] Working principle: In use, the user first installs the mounting plate 1 on the equipment through the outer mounting hole 10. Then, the limiting frame 3 and the fixing plate 2 are connected to the outside of the mounting plate 1. After aligning the inner connecting hole 21 of the fixing plate 2 with the outer connecting hole 111 of the mounting plate 1, the bolts 12 are used for threaded fixing. Then, one end of the steel wire passes through the center of the upper arc-shaped block 413 at the bottom of the upper clamping plate 411 and the lower arc-shaped block 423 at the top of the lower clamping plate 421. Then, the screw 415 is rotated inside the screw drum 416. The rotation of the screw 415 pushes the upper clamping plate 411 to descend under the limitation of the bottom sleeve 414. The descent of the upper clamping plate 411 drives the two sets of upper rack plates 412 on the bottom side to descend and engage with the two sets of lower rack plates 422 at the top of the lower clamping plate 421. Then, the upper arc-shaped block 413 and the lower arc-shaped block 423 clamp the steel wire for testing. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
