Apparatus for fatigue testing bulge tool having WH-type skeleton
Provided is an apparatus for fatigue testing a bulge tool having a WH-type skeleton, the apparatus including: a fixing bracket having tool holes penetrated through opposite sides thereof; a tool housing coupled to the tool hole of the fixing bracket and having the bulge tool inserted and installed therein; a moving rail installed at one side of the fixing bracket in a lengthwise direction of the tool housing and providing a reciprocating movement path facing the tool housing; a moving bracket reciprocating along the moving rail; a pusher protrudingly installed from the moving bracket toward the tool housing and moving in and out of the bulge tool; a measurement means installed between the pusher and the moving bracket, measuring a load applied to the bulge tool; and a drive means for generating power reciprocating the moving bracket on the moving rail.
1. An apparatus for fatigue testing a bulge tool having a WH-type skeleton, the apparatus comprising:
a fixing bracket having tool holes penetrated through opposite sides thereof;
a tool housing coupled to the tool hole of the fixing bracket and having the bulge tool inserted and installed therein so as to expose a bulge portion of the bulge tool through one side thereof;
a moving rail installed at one side of the fixing bracket in a lengthwise direction of the tool housing and providing a reciprocating movement path toward the tool housing;
a moving bracket reciprocating along the moving rail;
a pusher protrudingly installed from the moving bracket toward the tool housing and, moving in and out of the bulge tool by the reciprocating movement of the moving bracket;
a measurement means installed between the pusher and the moving bracket, for measuring a load applied to the bulge tool while the pusher moves in and out of the bulge tool; and
a drive means for generating power for reciprocating the moving bracket on the moving rail.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a plug is fastened to a front end portion of the tool housing to prevent the bulge tool inserted in the tool housing from being separated from the tool housing, and
a washer is interposed between the plug and the tool housing to allow a distance between the plug and the tool housing to be changeable.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a guide frame installed in a lengthwise direction of the moving rail on one side of the moving rail;
a sensor installed on the guide frame to detect a position of the moving bracket; and
a controller controlling the power of the drive means according to a detection of the position of the moving bracket by the sensor.
4. An apparatus for fatigue testing a bulge tool having a WH-type skeleton, the apparatus comprising:
a fixing bracket having tool holes penetrated through opposite sides thereof;
a moving rail installed at one side of the fixing bracket and providing a reciprocating movement path toward the fixing bracket;
a moving bracket reciprocating in along the moving rail;
a bulge tool prototype inserted through the tool hole of the fixing bracket and having slots located on an opposite side of the moving rail;
a taper pin exposed to the moving rail side by passing through the inner side of the bulge tool prototype through the slots of the bulge tool prototype;
a connection means connecting the taper pin exposed to the moving rail side and the moving bracket;
a measurement means installed between the connection means and the moving bracket and measuring a load applied to the bulge tool prototype by the taper pin; and
a drive means for generating power for reciprocating the moving bracket on the moving rail.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the connection means comprises:
a tool adapter screwed into the bulge tool prototype exposed to the moving rail side, and inserted into the tool hole to fasten the bulge tool prototype to the fixing bracket; and
a taper pin adapter fastening the taper pin exposed to the moving rail side to the measurement means.
6. The apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising:
a guide frame installed in a lengthwise direction of the moving rail on one side of the moving rail;
a sensor installed on the guide frame to detect a position of the moving bracket; and
a controller controlling the power of the drive means according to a detection of the position of the moving bracket by the sensor.
