Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of inspection and testing technology, and specifically relates to an auxiliary device for measuring the gauge length of a metal tensile specimen. Background Technology

[0002] Tensile testing is the most basic and widely used test method in the mechanical property testing of materials. Before conducting a tensile test, the raw material needs to be made into a tensile specimen that conforms to the shape specified in the relevant standards. Before the test, the specimen needs to be placed on a horizontal table, and the original gauge length is marked on the tensile specimen according to the cross-sectional area of ​​the parallel length portion of the specimen. After the test, the gauge length after fracture should also be measured to calculate the elongation after fracture.

[0003] When measuring the gauge length after fracture, the fracture surfaces of the specimen must be tightly joined to ensure the accuracy of the measurement data. However, in actual measurements, the specimen is prone to movement, increasing the difficulty of the measurement and potentially leading to inaccurate values. This, in turn, affects the accuracy of the elongation after fracture and the performance evaluation of the material. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific examples and accompanying drawings. Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] An auxiliary device for measuring the gauge length of a metal tensile specimen includes:

[0027] The base plate 1 includes a fixing module 2, an electromagnetic module, a movable clamping module, and a clamping module that drives the clamping module to move and clamp the sample 15. The fixing module 2 and the clamping module clamp the two ends of the sample 15, respectively. The fixing module 2 can be a fixing block with grooves for accommodating the ends of the sample 15. After the sample 15 is placed in the groove, the side of the sample 15 placed therein is fixed. Since the sample 15 usually contains iron, the electromagnetic module is provided to attract and fix the sample 15. Since the sample 15 is usually elongated, the axes of symmetry of the fixing module 2, electromagnetic module, clamping module, and clamping module on the base plate 1 are usually aligned on the same straight line, so that the axis of symmetry of the sample 15 is also on the same straight line. This facilitates fixing the sample 15 in a clamped and fixed state, reduces measurement errors caused by the displacement of the fracture surface of the sample 15, and improves the reliability and accuracy of the measurement results.

[0028] The clamping module includes a lead screw 9 and a base plate 8. The base plate 8 is vertically fixed to the base plate 1. The lead screw 9 has an external thread, and the base plate 8 has an internal thread. The lead screw 9 passes through the base plate 8 and is threadedly connected to the base plate 8. Since the base plate 8 is fixed to the base plate 1, the lead screw 9 can move left and right by rotating on the base plate 8. The end of the lead screw 9 is rotatably connected to the clamping module, so that the lead screw can drive the clamping module at the end of the lead screw 9 to move left and right by rotating.

[0029] In some embodiments, the clamping module includes a clamping plate 6 and a support roller 5 fixed to the bottom of the clamping plate 6. By setting the support roller 5, the friction between the clamping plate 6 and the base plate 1 can be reduced, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and the applied force of the rotating operating screw 9 can be reduced, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0030] In some embodiments, the clamping plate 6 is vertically arranged and includes a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The first surface faces the sample 15 and has a support groove for supporting the sample 15. The second surface faces away from the sample 15 and has a connecting hole. A rotary bearing for connecting the end of the lead screw 9 is provided in the connecting hole. After the rotary bearing is connected to the end of the lead screw 9, the rotational force is eliminated as the end of the lead screw 9 rotates. This enables the rotating lead screw 9 to be rotatably connected to the clamping plate 6 to maintain the same horizontal displacement. This allows the lead screw 9 to drive the clamping plate 6 to move, causing the sample 15 on the clamping plate 6 to move towards the fixing module 2 for clamping, thus achieving a clamping effect.

[0031] In some embodiments, the support groove includes a right-angled groove with openings in both horizontal and vertical directions, or the support groove includes a recess with an opening in only one horizontal direction. The right-angled groove with openings in both horizontal and vertical directions facilitates direct placement of the sample 15 from top to bottom, and allows for easy removal of the sample 15 by simply lifting it upwards after the test. The recess with an opening in only one horizontal direction provides better fixation of the sample 15, reducing the risk of injury caused by the sample 15 popping out due to excessive clamping.

[0032] In some embodiments, since the fracture surface of the sample 15 is usually located in the middle of the sample 15, and the fracture surface is easily subject to relative displacement due to external forces, thus causing measurement errors, the electromagnetic module is positioned directly below the fracture surface to firmly attract and clamp the fracture surface after assembly, thereby reducing the influence of external forces on the sample 15 and improving measurement accuracy. The electromagnetic module includes a magnetic attraction assembly comprising an electromagnet 12, a power supply 13, and a switch 14. The electromagnet 12, power supply 13, and switch 14 are connected in series, thereby controlling the attraction of the sample 15 during measurement and its separation after measurement via the switch 14.

[0033] In some embodiments, since the left end of the sample 15 is confined within the fixed module 2 during measurement, while the right end is confined within the movable clamping module, and different samples 15 may have different lengths and fracture locations, the magnetic attraction component of the electromagnetic module is configured as a movable structure. This allows the user to set the corresponding adsorption position of the electromagnetic component 3 based on the fracture surface position or length of the sample 15. The electromagnetic module also includes a slide rail 4, which is fixed to the base plate 1. The bottom of the magnetic attraction component is provided with a groove, which engages with the slide rail 4 to allow the magnetic attraction component to slide freely along the direction set by the slide rail 4.

[0034] In some embodiments, the clamping module further includes a fixing baffle 7, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lead screw 9. The fixing baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 and the seat plate 8 respectively. The fixing baffle 7 is mainly used to strengthen the fixed connection between the seat plate 8 and the base plate 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the clamping module further includes an auxiliary baffle 11, with the fixed baffle 7 arranged side by side on both sides of the lead screw 9, and an installation notch is provided between the auxiliary baffle 11 and the fixed baffle 7 for mounting the seat plate 8. By setting the auxiliary baffle 11, the lead screw 9 can be protected, and the position of the seat plate 8 can also be quickly switched using the auxiliary baffle 11.

[0036] In some embodiments, the clamping module further includes a rotating handle 10, which is fixed to the end of the lead screw 9, thereby reducing the difficulty of rotating the lead screw 9 and improving the user experience. Optionally, the rotating handle 10 is provided with a rubber sleeve to increase static friction and improve user comfort.

[0037] In some embodiments, the base plate 1 is further provided with a scale 16 for determining the length of the sample 15. The scale 16 can be an electronic scale 16 or an image of a planar scale 16, facilitating marking, measurement, and other tasks, simplifying operation, and effectively meeting practical needs. The electronic scale 16 includes at least a sensor and a display. The sensor determines the relative displacement between the clamping plate 6 and the electronic scale 16 after clamping, thereby determining the length data of the sample 15, and sending the length data of the sample 15 to the display for convenient and accurate acquisition of experimental results by the user.

[0038] When using the device, firstly, one end of the broken sample 15 is embedded into the fixing module 2. Then, the electromagnetic component 3 on the slide rail 4 is moved to directly below the fracture surface of the sample 15. The electromagnetic component 3 is activated to attract the sample 15 and assemble the fracture surface of the sample 15. Then, depending on the length of the sample 15, the appropriate position is selected: inserting the seat plate 8 between the fixed baffles 7 or between the auxiliary baffle 11 and the fixed baffles 7. Then, the handle 10 is rotated to drive the lead screw 9 to move and embed the other end of the sample 15 into the clamping module. The handle 10 is rotated again to drive the lead screw 9 to move and clamp the sample 15, so that the cross-section of the sample 15 is tightly joined. Finally, the gauge length of the clamped sample 15 is determined with the help of the scale 16, and the elongation is calculated.
