[0030] Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the gelation time measurement system proposed by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0031] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose, the following will describe in detail the specific implementation manners, structures, features and effects of a timing rotating sample holder and a gelation time measurement system according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0032] The present invention proposes a timing rotating sample holder 10, as shown in the attached Figure 1 figure, which includes: a base 1, which includes a bottom plate 11 and a fixed rod 12; the fixed rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11; a timing rotator 2, which is fixed on the base 1; a moving member 3, which is respectively connected to the timing rotator 2 and the base 1, and a sample holder 5 is provided at one end.

[0033] The described moving part 3 is movably connected to the timing rotator 2 and can move along with the timing rotator 2. Further, when the moving part 3 moves, it can drive the sample holder 5 to move together.

[0034] Preferably, the sample holder 5 is detachably connected to the moving part 3. The sample holder 5 can be replaced according to the actual needs of the test samples.

[0035] Preferably, the sample holder 5 includes a plurality of sample holding holes 51. Generally, the sample holder 5 is provided with a plurality of sample holding holes 51, and multiple samples can be fixed simultaneously. When conducting sample tests, multiple groups of experiments can be operated simultaneously, which relatively guarantees the repeatability, accuracy, comparability, etc. of the experiments; when a detailed and accurate experiment needs to be carried out on a single tested sample, a single-position sample holder 5 can also be selected.

[0036] Preferably, the timing rotator 2 includes a timer, a rotation controller, and a man-machine dialogue interface 21.

[0037] The described timing rotator 2 is purchased from the market and can rotate intermittently; the rotation and intermittent times are both measured and controlled by the timer. The man-machine dialogue interface 21 is used to set the process parameters of the timing rotator 2. Different tested samples have different requirements for the detection duration. Some require strict data in a short time, while some detections require a longer time. The described timing rotator 2 can meet various duration requirements; when setting the process parameters of the timing rotator 2, exclusive settings need to be made according to specific test requirements.

[0038] When the timing rotator 2 is working, first, set its rotation times, single rotation time, and the intermittent time between each rotation through the man-machine dialogue interface 21, and then turn on its switch 22. After startup, the timing rotator 2 rotates, stops rotating, rotates, stops rotating... according to the set program, and ends the work after completing the set rotation times. When it rotates, it can drive the moving part 3 connected to it to move together.

[0039] Preferably, the moving part 3 includes a transmission rod 32 and a linkage rod 31; the transmission rod 32 and the linkage rod 31 are movably connected through an internal sliding groove 321 and a sliding buckle 322; the transmission rod 32 is connected to the timing rotator 2; the linkage rod 31 is movably connected to the fixed rod 12 through a connecting shaft 4; one end of the linkage rod 31 is fixedly connected to the sample holder 5.

[0040] When the timing rotator 2 rotates, the transmission rod 32 moves along with it and drives the linkage rod 31 to move together; the sample holder 5 also moves along with the linkage rod 31, so that the tested samples installed on the sample holder 5 move at a set frequency and time.

[0041] Preferably, the fixed rod 12 includes a vertical rod 121 and a horizontal rod 122. The vertical rod 121 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11. One end of the horizontal rod 122 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 121, and the other end is movably connected to the moving member 3.

[0042] Preferably, the fixed rod 12 includes a vertical rod 121 and a horizontal rod 122. The vertical rod 121 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11. One end of the horizontal rod 122 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 121, and the other end is movably connected to the linkage rod 31.

[0043] On the one hand, the base 1 provides an operating platform for detection. On the other hand, it fixedly connects the moving member 3 and the timing rotator 2. This design enables the test operator not to be interfered by the sample holder itself during the test operation, ensuring a smooth detection process.

[0044] During use, the base 1 needs to be adjusted to be horizontal, and the connection of the fixed rod 12 needs to be stable.

[0045] Preferably, the transmission rod moves within the plane where the fixed rod 12 is located. The rotation angle of the transmission rod 32 is ≤ 45°.

[0046] A gelation time measurement system proposed by the present invention, as shown in the attached Figure 2 figure, includes: the aforementioned timing rotating sample holder 10; a camera device 20, which includes a camera and a built-in memory card, and is arranged above or on the side of the timing rotating sample holder 10 for real-time monitoring of the state of the sample to be tested.

[0047] After the experimental preparation is completed, place the sample to be tested on the holder; set the process parameters of the timing rotator 2, and start the switches of the timing rotating sample holder 10 and the camera device 20 to automatically monitor the test process.

[0048] The camera device 20 is configured with cameras of various resolutions to meet different test requirements. The camera device is equipped with a built-in memory card, which can store a large amount of monitored data. The inspector can directly view the video through the camera device or transfer its data to a computer for post-processing.

[0049] Preferably, it further includes a computer 30. The computer 30 is connected to the timing rotator 2 and the camera device 20 through a data cable. The process parameters of the timing rotator 2 can be set and adjusted through the computer; the data of the camera device can be directly transmitted to the computer for the inspector to observe the test phenomenon and process the data in the office.

[0050] When the above gelation time measurement system is in use, complete the preliminary test steps according to the test requirements. Place the beaker in the sample holder hole 51, tighten the fixing device, set the test procedures such as the operation cycle of the timing rotator 2, and press the start key to complete the test part participated by the tester. After that, the monitoring of the gelation process is completely automated by the said system, and the tester only needs to process the data after the test is completed.

[0051] The said gelation time measurement system can automatically monitor a large number of later operations and observations in gelation time measurement, which can save a large amount of time required for the test, improve the test accuracy, and reduce the errors of manual tests.

[0052] Example:

[0053] Weigh 0.50 g of calcium hydroxide with a balance with a sensitivity of 0.01 g, place it in a 50 ml beaker, add 15 ml of deionized water, stir it with a glass rod for 2 min, then slowly pour in 20 ml of the sample to be tested, and immediately start timing. After stirring evenly for 5 min, place the said beaker into the sample hole holder. Turn on the timing rotating sample holder and the gelation time measurement system to monitor the gelation process and record the test phenomena throughout the process.

[0054] After the test is over, retrieve the video, query the required test data, and clean the test device.
