Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building material testing technology, and in particular to a cylindrical specimen clamping device for rebound hammer testing. Background Technology
[0002] The basic principle of the rebound method is to indirectly measure material strength by using a rebound hammer to impact the surface of the test area and measuring the rebound value. However, when conducting rebound tests on non-vertical structures such as dams and arch bridges, the test angle can cause deviations in the test data due to forces such as gravity, thus affecting the judgment of the material's true strength. Current specifications only provide loading and fixing methods for cubes, and there are no fixtures for adjusting the angle and positioning of cylindrical specimens. General fixtures cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for adjusting the angle and positioning of cylindrical specimens. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cylindrical specimen clamping device for rebound test, which can conveniently and quickly achieve efficient and stable clamping of cylindrical specimens and flexibly adjust the test angle.

The lower end of the fixed column is fixedly connected to the worktable, and the upper end of the fixed column is hinged to the lower end of the adjusting column. The adjusting column is provided with a clamping assembly for clamping the cylindrical specimen. The clamping assembly includes a first clamp and a second clamp for cooperating to clamp the cylindrical specimen. The first clamp is connected to the adjusting column, and the second clamp is connected to the first clamp by bolts. The first clamp and the second clamp are provided with arc-shaped limiting grooves with opposite openings on opposite sides.
[0005] Furthermore, the first clamp is provided with a through groove that runs through its upper and lower sides. The first clamp is sleeved on the adjusting column using the through groove and can slide relative to the adjusting column. A first threaded hole that runs through the through groove is provided on the side of the first clamp. A first locking bolt is provided in the first threaded hole, and the rod end of the first locking bolt abuts against the side of the adjusting column.
[0006] Furthermore, the lower end of the adjusting column is symmetrically fixedly connected with two rings on both sides, and the upper end of the fixed column is symmetrically fixedly connected with two circular fasteners on both sides. The rings are sleeved on the outside of the circular fasteners on the same side and can rotate relative to each other around the axis of the circular fasteners.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the ring is provided with a second threaded hole that penetrates the inner side, and a second locking bolt is provided in the second threaded hole, with the end of the second locking bolt abutting against the outer side of the circular fixing part.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the adjusting column is provided with a downwardly protruding semi-circular part, and the upper end of the fixed column is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the semi-circular part. The axis of the semi-circular part coincides with the center line of the two circular rings.

[0013] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0014] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0015] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cylindrical specimen clamping device for rebound testing includes a worktable 100, a fixed column 200, and an adjusting column 300. The lower end of the fixed column 200 is fixedly connected to the worktable 100, and the upper end of the fixed column 200 is hinged to the lower end of the adjusting column 300. The adjusting column is provided with a clamping assembly 400 for clamping the cylindrical specimen. The clamping assembly includes a first clamp 410 and a second clamp 420 for cooperating to clamp the cylindrical specimen. The first clamp is connected to the adjusting column, and the second clamp is connected to the first clamp by bolts. The first clamp and the second clamp are provided with arc-shaped limiting grooves 430 with opposite openings on opposite sides.
[0016] Cylindrical specimens are clamped onto the fixture assembly, and the clamping or loosening of the cylindrical specimens is achieved by bolts on the fixture assembly. The lower end of the adjusting column is hinged to the upper end of the fixed column, allowing the adjusting column to swing left and right to adjust the angle. This enables efficient and stable clamping of cylindrical specimens, is convenient and quick to use, and allows for flexible adjustment of the test angle. It is beneficial for quickly and accurately completing the rebound test of cylindrical specimens, providing reliable experimental support for constructing strength curves of building materials in non-vertical areas. The fixture assembly consists of two clamps with arc-shaped limiting grooves, connected by bolts, ensuring stable clamping of cylindrical specimens of various sizes. This improves the versatility and applicability of the equipment, simplifies the operation process, and is suitable for fields such as the evaluation of mechanical properties of building materials.
[0017] In this embodiment, the first clamp 410 is provided with a through groove 411 that runs through its upper and lower sides. The first clamp is sleeved on the adjusting column by the through groove and can slide relative to the adjusting column. The side of the first clamp is provided with a first threaded hole that runs through the through groove. A first locking bolt is provided in the first threaded hole. The rod end of the first locking bolt abuts against the side of the adjusting column.
[0018] In this embodiment, circular rings 310 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the adjusting column 300, and circular fixing members 210 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the fixed column 200. The circular rings are sleeved on the outside of the circular fixing members on the same side and can rotate relative to each other around the axis of the circular fixing members. The rotational engagement of the circular fixing members 210 and the circular rings 310 realizes the hinged connection between the adjusting column and the fixed column. The circular fixing members 210 and the circular rings 310 are arranged in pairs, which can reduce the influence of external vibration and improve the stability during the test.
[0019] In this embodiment, a second threaded hole penetrating the inner surface of the outer periphery of the ring is provided, and a second locking bolt 311 is provided in the second threaded hole. The end of the second locking bolt abuts against the outer surface of the circular fixing member. By tightening the second locking bolt 311, the ring can be fixed to limit its rotation, thereby fixing the angle of the adjusting column. The second locking bolts 311 can be arranged in pairs on both sides of the ring to improve the locking force and stability.
[0020] In this embodiment, the lower end of the adjusting column has a downwardly protruding semi-circular portion 320, and the upper end of the fixed column has an arc-shaped groove 220 that matches the semi-circular portion. The axis of the semi-circular portion coincides with the center lines of the two circular rings. The cooperation between the semi-circular portion 320 and the arc-shaped groove 220 provides auxiliary support and can improve the stability of the hinged part.
[0021] In this embodiment, the circular fixing member 210 is provided with a scale mark 211, and the ring is provided with a pointing mark 312. The scale marked by the pointing mark 312 is the angle of the swing of the adjusting column, so that the angle of the adjusting column can be observed more intuitively without the need for manual measurement, making it convenient to use.
[0022] In this embodiment, the workbench is rectangular, and four mounting holes 110 are provided at the four corners of the workbench. This facilitates the stable fixing of the workpiece to the ground or base, ensuring stability throughout the testing process.
[0023] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped limiting grooves of the first clamp and the second clamp are provided with an anti-slip material layer, such as a rubber pad, to increase friction and prevent the specimen from sliding or vibrating.
