Device and method for testing bending resistance of fiber material by double-end clamping three-bending method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fiber material testing instruments and testing methods, and particularly relates to a device and a method for testing bending resistance of a fiber material by a double-end clamping three-bending method. The method is suitable for flexural strength quality inspection of chemical fiber filaments, optical fibers, hairs, short fibers and the like, product quality control and analysis and research of flexural performance of various novel fiber materials by research institutions.
Background
The fibrous material is subjected to bending forces during processing and during use of the finished product, resulting in bending deformations. In the apparel textile industry, filaments or yarns in a fabric are subjected to bending deformation when in use to affect the hand softness and style of the fabric; in the home textile industry, filaments are cut into short fibers to be used as fillers to cover the external fabric, the fibers are repeatedly bent and deformed under the action of external force in use, and when the bending recovery of the fibers is poor, permanent deformation can be generated, for example, a bad pillow collapses for a long time so as to be incapable of being normally used; in the screen printing process in the printing industry, chemical fiber filaments in the screen are stressed to generate bending deformation to influence the printing quality. In addition, the bending resistance of the fiber material in the production fields of optical fibers, toothbrushes, brushes and the like directly influences the hardness degree of the fiber material product in use, so that the research of the fiber material bending resistance test method and the test device thereof has important significance.
The bending performance test method of the current general material sample comprises a cantilever beam method, a heart-shaped method, a three-point method, a four-point method and the like. The cantilever beam method is only suitable for a material sample with high stiffness, and cannot be used for measuring the bending resistance of a softer fiber material sample; heart-shaped method is commonly used for testing the bending rigidity of fabrics, but when the method is used for testing the bending resistance of fiber materials, the fiber materials are thin and soft, so that a heart-shaped ring is difficult to form by the fiber material sample and the bending resistance of the heart-shaped ring is difficult to measure; the three-point method or the four-point method is generally used for measuring the bending rigidity of the hard material, and has problems on the aspects of sample preparation, sample placement and fixation, external force action point sliding and the like of flexible material fibers, and the research of the flexible material fibers is still in an exploratory stage. The JQ03D single fiber stretching and compression bending instrument developed by Shanghai middle morning digital technical equipment company is used for researching a fiber bending test method, and is characterized in that the test fiber bending method is adopted to fix one end of a fiber, and the other end of the fiber rotates freely, namely an axial compression bending method of 'half bending', and the method has the problems that one end of the fiber possibly slides when penetrating into a micropore platform, the position of a fiber hinge end is difficult to determine, the fiber with the protruded fixed end possibly skews, and the like, so that the lengths of fiber samples between the hinge end and the fixed end are different, the fiber bending performance measurement result is deviated, and the accuracy and the stability of the test result are affected, so that the method cannot be practically popularized and applied.
