[0024] This embodiment is a high-performance infrared imaging device for detecting the pore size of foam materials.

[0026] A side insulation layer 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the experimental cylinder 1, and a metal screen 10 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side insulation layer 11; a bottom insulation layer 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the experimental cylinder 1; there are three groups of heating tubes 13, and the three groups of heating tubes 13 are equidistantly distributed on the periphery of the stage 16; there are two groups of adjustable thermocouples 14, and there is one group of fixed thermocouples 15; the outer surface of the lower end of the lower support column 17 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the lower end of the inner cavity of the experimental cylinder 1, and the internal threaded hole 18 is opened on the outer surface of the upper end of the lower support column 17, and the screw 19 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower end of the loading plate 20, and the outer wall of the screw 19 and the internal threaded hole 18 are threadedly connected.

[0027] It should be noted that the present invention is a high-performance infrared imaging device for detecting the pore size of foam materials. The experimental device directly heats the sample in a confined space, and then uses a thermal imager 6 to collect images of the thermal performance of the sample through an infrared window 8. During the experiment, the sample is first placed on a carrier plate 20 in a carrier stage 16 inside the heating chamber. By adjusting the screw 19 of the carrier plate 20, the sample is placed at the optimal observation distance of the thermal imager 6. Then, the adjustable thermocouple 14 is adjusted to measure the internal temperature of the foam material, and the second cylinder cover is closed. 7. The air valve 9 is connected to an external pressure gauge and an air pump. Turn on the pressure gauge and the air pump. When the air pressure in the cavity reaches the experimental requirements, turn off the air pump, turn on the external temperature control box switch, set the experimental temperature by the control panel, and measure the temperature in the cavity by the temperature display instrument. When the set temperature is reached, turn on the thermal imager, adjust the bracket, and fine-tune the focus to observe the infrared image of the sample. The infrared radiation characteristics of the foam material rib skeleton can be clearly observed; the periphery of the stage 16 is 2 adjustable thermocouples 14 and 1 fixed thermocouple 15. The adjustable thermocouple 14 can be adjusted according to the actual temperature. The probe position can be adjusted according to the test needs to flexibly measure the sample temperature. The fixed thermocouple 15 fixes the temperature under the stage in the measuring device cavity. This temperature is used as the temperature feedback of the temperature control box to control the working state of the temperature control box. The heat source of the core heating cavity is 3 equal-power heating tubes 13, which are equidistantly distributed on the periphery of the stage. This can not only ensure uniform heating of the sample, but also reduce the influence of the heating tube itself on the observation results. The periphery of the heating tube adopts a copper metal screen 10. The function of the metal screen 10 is to make the temperature uniformity in the entire cavity better. The material itself The characteristics of high reflectivity and low emissivity, combined with the infrared window 8, can effectively reduce the impact of stray radiation on the observation results. High-density asbestos cloth is attached to the inner wall and bottom of the experimental tube 1 as the side insulation layer 11 and the bottom insulation layer 12, which can prevent the heat in the cavity from escaping, so that the temperature in the cavity is always at the experimental temperature during the experiment. The thermocouple is a K-type armored thermocouple with a maximum length of l = 172mm. Its temperature measurement range is -20 ~ 500 ° C, and the error within the range is ±2%. The end probe of the thermocouple can be adjusted according to the temperature measurement requirements.
