Detailed Implementation
[0023] The attached figure shows a preferred embodiment of the fixture assembly for testing the tensile strength of ceramic fibers. The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the attached figure.
[0024] Depend on Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a fixture assembly for testing the tensile strength of ceramic fibers includes a fixing block 1 with an inner cavity 101. At opposite ends of the fixing block 1, there are insertion cavities 102 and glue injection tubes 103 that are connected through the inner cavity 101. A hook is detachably connected to the top of the glue injection tube 103, and the hook is used to connect to the mounting plate of the tensile strength testing machine.
[0025] A plug 2 with a central hole is inserted into the end of the insertion cavity 102, and the end of the ceramic fiber filament 5 passes through the central hole of the plug 2 and is placed into the inner cavity 101.
[0026] The plug 2 is made of rubber material. The central hole of the plug 2 is frustum-shaped. The inner diameter of the large end of the central hole is larger than the outer diameter of the ceramic fiber filament 5, and the inner diameter of the small end of the central hole is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the ceramic fiber filament 5.
[0027] First, separate the connecting part, and pass one end of the ceramic fiber filament 5 through the plug 2, inserting it from the large end of the central hole of the plug 2 and exiting from the small end. After completion, insert the plug 2 into the insertion cavity 102. Under the compression of the insertion cavity 102, the plug 2 squeezes the ceramic limiting filament 5 and clamps it.
[0028] Then, the mixed epoxy resin is injected into the inner cavity 101 through the injection tube 103. After the epoxy resin cures, the ceramic fiber filaments 5 are fixed. Then, it is connected to the rope strength testing machine through the hanging part.
[0029] After completing the tensile strength test, remove the fixing block 1 and place it in a heating furnace to heat until the epoxy resin melts. Then remove the plug 2 and blow out the epoxy resin from the inner cavity 101 using high-pressure air, so that the fixing block 1 can be reused.
[0030] The glue injection tube 103 has external threads on its outer wall. The hook-on part includes a threaded sleeve 3 with internal threads, which is threadedly connected to the glue injection tube 103. A coaxially arranged handle 302 is fixed to the outside of the threaded sleeve 3, which facilitates the rotation of the threaded sleeve 3 by means of the handle 302.
[0031] Furthermore, the mounting part includes a connecting block 4, with a rotating sleeve 401 and a mounting hole 403 at opposite ends of the connecting block 4. The mounting hole 403 is a polygonal hole. A plug rod is fixed on the mounting plate of the tensile strength testing machine. The plug rod has the same shape as the mounting hole 403 and can be quickly assembled and disassembled by plugging it in. The polygonal mounting hole 403 also prevents shaking.
[0032] The end of the screw sleeve 3 facing away from the fixing block 1 is provided with a turntable 301, and the turntable 401 is coaxially rotatably connected to the turntable 301.
[0033] The circumferential surface of the turntable 301 is recessed with an annular groove, and the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 401 is provided with a protruding ring 402. The protruding ring 402 is inserted into the annular groove of the turntable 301 to prevent the connecting block 4 from disengaging from the screw sleeve 3.
[0034] The fixing block 1 has a protruding slider 104 arranged axially along the glue injection tube 103. The connecting block 4 has an extended groove 404 facing the fixing block 1. The slider 104 is connected to the groove 404. The slider 104 is inserted into the groove 404 first, and then the glue injection tube 103 contacts the screw sleeve 3. The cooperation between the two prevents rotation when the fixing part formed by the fixing block 1 is connected to the hanging part.
[0035] When injecting epoxy resin, a curing period is required. To accelerate curing, the entire assembly can be placed in an induction furnace and cured using a stepped temperature increase method from 40℃ to 80℃ to 100℃, which can shorten the curing time to 4-6 hours. To allow for overall movement during transport without damaging the ceramic fiber filaments 5, the following structure is added in this embodiment.
[0036] The fixed block 1 has a T-shaped plate 105 protruding from its end face, and the T-shaped plate 105 has a threaded hole 106.
[0037] The T-shaped plates 105 of the fixing blocks 1 at both ends of the ceramic fiber filament 5 are inserted into the T-shaped grooves on the end face of the limiting plate 6. The end face of the limiting plate 6 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 601 that is connected to the T-shaped groove. A fastening bolt 7 is inserted inside the waist-shaped hole 601, and the fastening bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 106.
[0038] The fixing blocks 1 at both ends of the ceramic limiting wire 5 are fixed by the limiting plate 6, and the distance between the two fixing blocks 1 can be adjusted to accommodate ceramic limiting wires 5 of different lengths.
[0039] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
