In the field of polyurethane foam, the device for measuring hardness needs to provide standard samples according to the national standard for measurement. However, due to the unique seat structure of office chairs, it is impossible to provide suitable standard samples for monitoring. Even if the specifications are determined according to the standard, there is a certain gap between the actual seat surface. The softness and hardness are important parameters for the design of seat shaping cotton. Measuring the softness and hardness of the whole chair can understand the comfort range of the seat surface, thereby ensuring product quality. As for the current softness and hardness testing equipment, there is no device specifically used to measure the softness and hardness of the whole office chair and the device for accurately measuring the softness and hardness of shaping cotton. Although some high-precision instruments such as mechanical testing machines can achieve the purpose of measuring the indentation hardness by technical means, they will be inaccurate and fail to meet the standard requirements when used to measure shaping cotton.

[0052] Preferably, the pressure pad 5 is hip-shaped. The hip-shaped pressure pad imitates the shape of the human buttocks, restores the most realistic pressure value of the human body to the greatest extent, and improves the measurement accuracy.

[0053] The present invention adopts flexible capacitive sensing technology. As the seat surface is deformed by force, the capacitance value changes, and the change of the capacitance of the compressed object with stress and strain is tested.

[0054] When it is necessary to measure the softness and hardness of the internal material of the office chair seat, the thickness factor is used for judgment.

[0055] Specifically, the thickness factor determination process includes the following steps:

[0056] Step 3.1: Take samples of the shaping cotton inside the seat of the office chair;

[0057] Step 3.2: Cut the shaped cotton sample based on the fixed length, width and height so that the shaped cotton sample is a uniform rectangular block;

[0058] Step 3.3: Apply a downward fixing force Fg to the shaped cotton sample;

[0059] Step 3.4: Obtain the thickness d2 of the styling cotton sample under the pressure Fg through the thickness sensor, and calculate the thickness change difference of the styling cotton, which is d1-d2, where d1 is the height of the styling cotton sample;

[0060] Step 3.5: Determine the hardness of the shaping cotton based on the difference in thickness change of the shaping cotton. The smaller the difference in thickness change of the shaping cotton, the higher the hardness of the shaping cotton. The larger the difference in thickness change of the shaping cotton, the lower the hardness of the shaping cotton.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] The only difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the structure of the test bench is limited so that it can be disassembled while having a certain stability.

[0063] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the test bench 9 includes a transverse plate and a support shaft 10, a convex ring is provided at the bottom of the transverse plate, a convex circle is provided at the top of the support shaft 10, the convex ring is matched with the convex circle, and a plurality of equidistant brackets 11 are provided at the bottom of the support shaft 10, and the brackets 11 are hinged to the support shaft 10.

[0064] Preferably, the convex ring and the convex circle are provided with matching internal threads and external threads.

Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 12 is hinged to the groove 13. A hole 14 is provided in the groove 13, and the hole 14 is snap-fitted to the bottom of the support shaft 10. The center position of the groove 13 is a regular polygon. The number of the brackets 11 is the number of the corners of the regular polygon, and the bottom of the brackets 11 is placed on the corners of the regular polygon. The stability of the test bench can be well guaranteed by the snap-fitting structure of the hole 14 and the support shaft 10, and the contact support of the bracket 11 and the regular polygon structure of the groove. In addition, the design of the cover plate 12 makes the rectangular base 1 flat in the storage state, so that the office chair can be directly moved to the bottom of the pressure pad 5 without going through the test bench 9, and the softness and hardness of the office chair seat surface can be directly measured.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] The only difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the device is used to test the softness and hardness of the office seat surface.

[0070] When the softness and hardness of the office chair seat surface needs to be measured, the office chair seat surface is placed on the placement table. Figure 2 As shown, or the test bench is removed, the office chair is placed on the rectangular base 1, as shown Figure 3 As shown, a flexible capacitive sensor 7 is detachably provided on the seat surface of the office chair, and a pressure pad 5 applies force downward at a speed V1. The pressure pad 5 can contact the flexible capacitive sensor 7 downward. The bottom of the flexible capacitive sensor 7 and the top of the seat surface of the office chair are respectively provided with matching Velcro, so that the flexible capacitive sensor 7 is attached to the seat surface of the office chair.

[0071] When you need to measure the softness and hardness of an office chair seat, use the hardness factor to determine.

[0072] Specifically, the determination process of the softness and hardness factor includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 1.1: Paste the flexible capacitive sensor on the seat of the office chair;

[0074] Step 1.2: Apply force downward to the flexible capacitive sensor on the seat surface of the office chair at a speed of V1, and load it to 800N to obtain a relationship curve between the seat surface force and capacitance of the office chair;

[0075] Step 1.3: Calculate the softness and hardness factor of the office chair seat:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, H z Indicates the hardness factor of the office chair seat surface, Hz The larger the H, the higher the hardness of the office chair seat surface. z The smaller the value, the softer the seat of the office chair. d(c) represents the differential of capacitance. The total area enclosed by the capacitance change curve in the range of 0N to 800N and the applied force on the curve representing the relationship between the seat force and capacitance of the office chair, K 1 It represents the average slope of the curve of the relationship between the seat force and capacitance of the office chair when the force is the X-axis and the capacitance is the Y-axis.

[0078] Preferably, in step 1.3, K 1 The calculation formula is:

[0079]

[0080] Wherein, n is the number of different force value points in the force range of 300N-700N, and d(ci) / d(Fi) represents the slope of the relationship curve between the seat force and capacitance of the office chair when the force value is i.

[0081] Preferably, n=3, i takes three values: 340N, 460N and 580N, that is, K 1 Calculation method:

[0082]

[0083] Example 5

[0084] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that it is used to measure the softness and hardness of fabrics. When it is necessary to measure the softness and hardness of the seat fabric of an office chair, Figure 2 As shown, the office chair seat is placed on the placement table, or the test table is removed, such as Figure 3 As shown, the office chair is placed on a rectangular base 1, and a flexible capacitive sensor 7 is detachably provided on the seat surface of the office chair. The flexible capacitive sensor 7 is connected to the flexible capacitive sensor 7 and the pressure pad 5 at the same time, and the pressure pad 5 pulls the seat surface fabric upward at a speed V2. The upper and lower surfaces of the flexible capacitive sensor 7 are provided with adhesive materials, such as Velcro, and correspondingly, the contact parts of the flexible capacitive sensor 7, the pressure pad 5 and the seat surface of the office chair are also provided with Velcro, the top of the flexible capacitive sensor 7 is adapted to the bottom Velcro of the pressure pad 5, and the bottom of the flexible capacitive sensor 7 is adapted to the Velcro on the top of the seat surface of the office chair.

[0085] When it is necessary to measure the softness and hardness of the seat fabric of an office chair, the relaxation factor Sm, which represents the tension of the fabric, is used for judgment. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the seat fabric of the office chair will have different tensions when the same deformation is applied due to the different materials and elasticity of the fabrics. The factors that affect this characteristic of the fabric are collectively called relaxation factor Sm. This parameter has a certain impact on the overall softness and hardness of the seat.

[0086] Specifically, the determination process of the relaxation factor includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 2.1: Paste the flexible capacitive sensor on the seat of the office chair;

[0088] Step 2.2: Pull the seat fabric upward at a speed of V2 and load it to the upper limit force value F. 0 , and obtain the relationship curve between seat surface material force and capacitance;

[0089] Step 2.3: Calculate the relaxation factor of the seat fabric:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, Sm represents the relaxation factor of the seat fabric. The larger the Sm, the higher the hardness of the seat fabric. The smaller the Sm, the lower the hardness of the seat fabric. 2 The curve showing the relationship between seat surface material force and capacitance is at the upper limit force value F of the material. 0 Department, The curve showing the relationship between seat surface force and capacitance, 0N~F 0 The total area enclosed by the range capacitance change curve and the applied force. 0 The fabric can be tensioned. 0 ≤100N.

[0092] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
