Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of research on the thermodynamic properties of tire composites, and particularly to a measurement system for the coefficient of thermal expansion of tire composites. Background Art

[0002] Affected by tire materials and forces, a large amount of heat is generated during the repeated driving process of tires, leading to problems such as thermal-oxidative aging and reduced strength. Moreover, when the tires are heated and expand, additional stress and strain will be generated, which will in turn change the force and deformation conditions of the tires, affecting the overall performance of the tires, exacerbating tire damage, and endangering personal safety. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the thermodynamic properties of tire materials, especially the thermal expansion properties of tire materials.

[0003] The coefficient of thermal expansion is a characterization of the thermal expansion performance, and quantitatively characterizes the thermal expansion performance through the rate of change of the length or volume of the material with temperature under isobaric conditions. According to the change in length or volume, the coefficient of thermal expansion is divided into the linear expansion coefficient and the volume expansion coefficient. Among them, the linear expansion coefficient is commonly used to analyze isotropic materials, and the volume expansion coefficient is commonly used to analyze anisotropic materials.

[0004] Tire materials are composite materials, composed of isotropic rubber and cord layers arranged at a certain angle. The linear expansion coefficient can be used to characterize the thermal expansion performance of rubber. However, during the heating process of rubber, glass transition occurs, so its coefficient of thermal expansion is significantly different before and after the glass transition temperature. Compared with rubber, the cord shows completely different material properties, resulting in the composite material having anisotropic thermodynamic behavior. Therefore, the volume expansion coefficient is suitable for characterizing the thermal expansion performance of cord-containing materials. In addition, different types and arrangements of cords will have different effects on the thermodynamic behavior of tire composites, and there are certain requirements for the measuring instruments and specimens of the coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0005] At present, there is no measuring device for the coefficient of thermal expansion of tire composites, and it is impossible to analyze the linear expansion coefficient and the volume expansion coefficient of tire composites, and thus it is impossible to accurately guide the configuration of tire materials, ultimately affecting driving safety.

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] In this example, the measurement process of the tire composite material coefficient of thermal expansion measurement system is as follows: Before the measurement starts, speckles are sprayed on the front and top of the specimen 3. When the transparent door of the main body 1 is opened, at the moment of opening the door, the control device issues an instruction, and the electromagnetic retardation device 64 of the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 is powered on. The movable iron core originally inserted into the connecting member 68 pops out, and then the connecting member 68 rotates under the gravity of the convex block 65 until the convex block 65 is inserted into the bottom of the fan-shaped hole of the slider 67 to prevent the door from touching the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6.

[0049] After opening the cabinet door 161, place the specimen 3 closely against the limit plate 4 and horizontally on the measuring table 10, and ensure that the front and top of the speckle sprayed on the specimen 3 face the cameras 63 of the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 and the rear DIC displacement measuring mechanism 7 respectively. Adjust the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 so that the moving iron core of the electromagnetic blocking device 64 is inserted into the connecting piece 68 to keep the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 in a vertical state. Move the sliders 67 of the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 and the rear DIC displacement measuring mechanism 7 so that the two image acquisition devices 63 can face the specimen 3 directly, and rotate the knob of the self-locking structure 66 so that the threaded cylinder rotates and pushes out to contact the C-shaped steel slide rail to fix the slider 67. By adjusting the position of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, adjust the imaging of the specimen 3 in the camera 63 to ensure clear imaging. Set the temperature and heating rate through the control panel 9, and then close the cabinet door 161 to start the measurement.

[0050] The DIC displacement measurement system records and processes in real time the change rates of the length and volume of the specimen 3 with temperature until the measurement is completed. The specific process includes that the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 and the DIC displacement measuring mechanism collect the front view and top view images of the specimen 3 changing with temperature in real time, and perform image processing and recognition on the images to obtain the linear change values and volume change values of the specimen 3 at different temperatures. The linear change values include the change values of the length, width, and height of the specimen 3; and calculate the linear change rate and volume change rate according to the initial linear length and initial volume, and thus draw the linear change rate - temperature curve of the specimen 3 as Figure 10 shown, and draw the volume change rate - temperature curve as Figure 11 shown. In the Figure 10 linear change rate - temperature curve, Figure 11 the slope of each point in the volume change rate - temperature curve is the linear expansion coefficient and volume expansion coefficient of the specimen 3 at that temperature.

[0051] After the measurement is completed, the electromagnetic blocking device 64 of the front DIC displacement measuring mechanism 6 is powered on, and the originally inserted moving iron core pops out. Subsequently, the connecting piece 68 rotates under the gravity of the convex block 65 until the convex block 65 is inserted into the bottom of the fan-shaped hole of the slider 67. Open the cabinet door 161, take out the specimen and close the cabinet door 161.
