[0002] Fastening connections are an important structural form widely used in fields such as machinery, aerospace, automotive, and wind power. They achieve reliable connections between components through fasteners. The performance of fastening connections directly affects the reliability and safety of the entire system. In actual service environments, fastening connections are often subjected to complex multi-directional loads simultaneously, such as axial tension, transverse shear, or a combination of both. Multi-directional loads can lead to problems such as fatigue fracture and loosening failure of fasteners, affecting the safety of the structure.

[0003] Currently, research on fastening connection structures is limited by the lack of reasonable multi-directional load testing devices and methods, and is mostly focused on the effects of loads in a single direction, such as simple axial loads or transverse loads. This makes it difficult to fully reflect the load conditions in actual service environments and to simulate the complex mechanical behavior and failure behavior of fastening connection structures under multi-directional loads. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a test device for simulating the failure of fastening connection structures under multiaxial loads.

[0018] This invention provides a test device for simulating the failure of fastening connection structures under multiaxial loads. Through the cooperation of the equipment clamping components and the test components, it can simulate the failure of various fastening connection structures under multiaxial loads during use, and monitor the axial force data of the tested fasteners during the test.

[0019] Figures 1-4 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of an embodiment of the test device for simulating the failure of a fastened connection structure under multiaxial loads according to this invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The main structure of this embodiment includes: a device clamping assembly and a test assembly.

[0020] Example 1 Failure tests were conducted on threaded bolt connections under multi-directional loads at θ = 30°. The required axial force for tightening the threaded bolts was 12.5 kN. The tests continued until the threaded bolts fractured due to fatigue, the axial force decreased to 40% of the initial axial force, or the number of tests reached 2,000,000 cycles. According to the test requirements of Example 1, the following components were selected: an angle-changing connector 10 with 12 teeth (number of teeth = 12 × n, n = 1, 2, 3...) at the tooth end; a clamp connector 2 with the same number of teeth in the tooth hole as the number of teeth at the tooth end of the angle-changing connector 10; an upper connecting plate 7 with a through hole for mounting a single test fastener 3; a lower connecting plate 8 with a threaded hole for mounting a single test fastener 3; and an auxiliary load centering pad 1; thus completing the selection of test device components. Four locating pins 6 are inserted into the locating pin holes of the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8 to install and position them. Next, the threaded bolt and axial force sensor 4 are installed. The axial force sensor 4 is installed between the threaded bolt and the upper connected plate 7, allowing the threaded bolt to pass through the axial force sensor 4 and the upper connected plate 7 successively, and finally screwed into the threaded hole of the lower connected plate 8. Tightening is stopped when the axial force collected by the axial force sensor 4 reaches 12.5 kN. The multi-directional load angle θ is then adjusted according to the experiment. To achieve the 30° requirement, the four angle-changing connectors 10 are passed through the toothed holes of the clamp connector 2, the upper connected plate 7, and the lower connected plate 8 from the left and right sides, respectively. Then, set screws 5 are passed through the fixing holes of the angle-changing connectors 10 in the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8, and screwed into the set screw holes of the angle-changing connectors 10 to complete the fixing of the angle-changing connectors 10. All the locating pins 6 between the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8 are removed. The auxiliary load centering pad 1 is installed on the clamped end of the clamp connector 2 using bolts 9. The installation of the test device is now complete.

[0021] Install the complete test apparatus into the upper and lower fixtures of the test equipment; input the test parameters according to the test requirements, start the test, and end the test when the threaded bolt fails due to fatigue, or the axial force decreases to 40% of the initial axial force, or the number of test cycles reaches 200w; the test is completed.

[0022] Example 2 Failure tests were conducted on threaded bolt connections under multi-directional loads at θ = 45°. The required axial force for tightening the threaded bolts was 9.8 kN. The tests continued until a threaded bolt fractured due to fatigue, the axial force of a threaded bolt decreased to 40% of its initial axial force, or the number of tests reached 2 million. According to the test requirements of Example 2, the following components were selected: an angle-changing connector 10 with 8 teeth (number of teeth = 8 × n, n = 1, 2, 3...) at the tooth end; a clamp connector 2 with the same number of teeth in the tooth hole as the number of teeth at the tooth end of the angle-changing connector 10; an upper connecting plate 7 with through holes for mounting the four test fasteners; a lower connecting plate 8 with threaded holes for mounting the four test fasteners 3; and an auxiliary load centering pad 1. The selection of test device components was completed. Four locating pins 6 are inserted into the locating pin holes of the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8 to install and position them. Next, four threaded bolts and four axial force sensors 4 are installed. The axial force sensors 4 are installed between the threaded bolts and the upper connected plate 7, allowing the threaded bolts to pass through the axial force sensors 4, the upper connected plate 7, and the lower connected plate 8 in sequence, and finally screwed into the threaded hole of the lower connected plate 8. Tightening is stopped when the axial force collected by all axial force sensors 4 reaches 9.8 kN. The multi-directional load angle θ is then adjusted according to the experiment. To achieve the 45° requirement, the four angle-changing connectors 10 are passed through the toothed holes of the clamp connector 2, the upper connected plate 7, and the lower connected plate 8 from the left and right sides, respectively. Then, set screws 5 are passed through the fixing holes of the angle-changing connectors 10 in the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8, and screwed into the set screw holes of the angle-changing connectors 10 to complete the fixing of the angle-changing connectors 10. All the locating pins 6 between the upper connected plate 7 and the lower connected plate 8 are removed. The auxiliary load centering pad 1 is installed on the clamped end of the clamp connector 2 using bolts 9. The installation of the test device is now complete.

[0023] Install the complete test apparatus into the upper and lower fixtures of the test equipment; input the test parameters according to the test requirements, start the test, and end the test when a threaded bolt fails due to fatigue, or the axial force of a threaded bolt decreases to 40% of the initial axial force, or the number of tests reaches 200w; the test is completed.

[0024] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
