Abstract

This invention provides a road traffic reflective film impact resistance tester, mainly used to test the impact resistance of reflective films. The tester includes a base, a horizontal bubble, a locking device, a support, a V-groove magnetic clamp, and an impact ball. The horizontal bubble ensures the base is level, and the locking device presses and fixes the edges of the reflective film to eliminate curling stress, achieving complete adhesion between the sample and the base. The V-groove magnetic clamp magnetically attracts and fixes the impact ball, which, when released, falls freely from a preset height to impact the reflective film. Compared to traditional devices, this invention solves the problem of sample unevenness through edge pressing and level calibration, and uses the magnetic clamp to precisely control the impact height, ensuring the repeatability and reliability of the test results.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road traffic facility testing devices, and in particular to a road traffic reflective film impact resistance tester. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of road traffic, reflective film is a key material for improving nighttime driving safety, and its impact resistance directly affects its service life and safety performance. Traditional impact resistance testing methods have the following technical defects: First, reflective film is usually stored in a rolled-up state, and after unfolding, the sample surface is prone to unevenness due to its own tension or improper handling. Existing devices mostly rely on simple pressure plates or clamps for fixation, which makes it difficult to ensure complete adhesion between the reflective film and the test substrate (such as a steel plate), resulting in uneven force distribution at the impact point and affecting test accuracy. Second, traditional tests often control the impact energy by manually adjusting the release position of the steel ball, but this suffers from large human operation errors and poor repeatability. Although some devices are equipped with scales or limiting structures, it is still difficult to accurately reproduce a specific impact height, resulting in a lack of comparability between test results from different batches. Finally, the impact of the test substrate's levelness on the impact effect is not considered; the impact force decomposition under tilted conditions will change the actual effect, further reducing test reliability.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 2This application provides a road traffic reflective film 8 impact resistance tester, including a base 1, a horizontal bubble 2, a locking device 3, a bracket 4, a V-groove magnetic clamp 5, and an impact ball 6. The horizontal bubble 2 is disposed on the base 1. The locking device 3 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to press and fix the edge of the reflective film 8. The bracket 4 is disposed on the base 1. The V-groove magnetic clamp 5 is disposed on the bracket 4. The impact ball 6 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the bottom of the V-groove magnetic clamp 5.

[0028] The impact resistance tester for road traffic reflective film 8 provided by this utility model is used to test the impact resistance of reflective film 8 used in road traffic. During the test, the base 1 is adjusted to a horizontal state by observing the horizontal bubble 2. Then, the rolled-up reflective film 8 is laid flat on the base 1, and the edges of the reflective film 8 are pressed and fixed by the locking device 3 to ensure that the reflective film 8 is in close contact with the top surface of the base 1 during the test. Then, by releasing the V-groove magnetic clamp 5, the impact ball 6 on the V-groove magnetic clamp 5 is allowed to fall freely from a specific height (i.e., the height of the bottom of the V-groove magnetic clamp 5, which can be freely designed according to the test requirements) and hit the reflective film 8 below. After completion, the locking device 3 is released, the reflective film 8 is removed from the base 1, and the test area (the impacted position) of the reflective film 8 is observed to see if cracks, interlayer separation or other damage occur, thus completing the impact resistance test of the reflective film 8.

[0029] Specifically, the vertical distance between the impact ball 6 and the upper surface of the base 1 is 250mm, and the impact ball 6 is a solid steel ball with a mass of 450.0g±4.5g.

[0030] In one embodiment, the locking device 3 specifically includes a pressure plate 31 and a thumb-type locking device 32 disposed on the pressure plate 31 and the base 1. The thumb-type locking device 32 presses and fixes the pressure plate 31 and the reflective film 8 below the pressure plate 31 to the base 1 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown). By using the thumb-type locking device 32 and the pressure plate 31 to press and lock the reflective film 8, it is convenient and quick to press and lock / release the reflective film 8. Simply press down and rotate the thumb-type locking device 32, thus making the testing process convenient and efficient.

[0031] The thumb-type locking device 32 is an existing device, and its specific structure and locking principle will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In one embodiment, the V-groove magnetic clamp 5 includes an electromagnet and a switch knob 51 for controlling the energization of the electromagnet. Before testing, the tester is powered on, and the switch knob 51 is pointed to "ON", which makes the electromagnet magnetic. At this time, the impact ball 6 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the bottom of the V-groove magnetic clamp 5. When testing is required, the switch knob 51 is rotated to point to "OFF", which de-energizes the electromagnet, causing it to lose its magnetism and allowing the impact ball 6 at the bottom of the V-groove magnetic clamp 5 to fall freely.

[0033] In one embodiment, a fence 7 is also included, which is disposed on the base 1, and gaps are reserved between the fence 7 and the base 1 on both sides near the locking device 3. The fence 7 can be used to restrict the impact ball 6, so that the impact ball 6 remains on the test platform after the test is completed, so as to facilitate repeated testing.

[0034] In addition, gaps are reserved between the fence 7 and the base 1 on both sides near the locking device 3 so that the reflective film 8 can pass through the gaps and go under the locking device 3 so that the locking device 3 can press and fix the reflective film 8.

[0035] In one embodiment, the base 1 is made of a steel plate with a quenched and tempered surface. Using a quenched and tempered steel plate for the base 1 significantly improves the structural stability and testing accuracy of the testing instrument. The quenching and tempering treatment gives the steel plate a uniform high hardness and toughness, enabling it to withstand the instantaneous high stress generated by repeated impacts from the impact ball 6, preventing deformation or localized dents in the base 1 and ensuring the flatness of the testing reference surface. Furthermore, by optimizing the internal stress of the material, the fatigue strength of the base 1 is enhanced, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
