Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile and engine emission testing, and in particular relates to a method for weighing filter paper for sampling particulate matter in automobile emission testing. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of automobile technology, the environmental problems caused by the derived motor vehicle emission pollutants are becoming more and more serious, especially the particulate matter mass emissions from various types of fuel vehicle engines, referred to as particulate matter emissions, which have caused great harm to the environment and human health. Environmental protection departments and all sectors of society are paying more and more attention to it.

[0003] In the automobile inspection industry, since the third stage of motor vehicle emission standards, requirements have been made for the limit values ​​of particulate matter in automobile emissions. The current standard is the sixth stage (GB 18352.6-2016), which requires the use of filter paper to filter and intercept automobile exhaust, directly collect particulate matter in the exhaust, and obtain the weight of particulate matter in the exhaust of light vehicles by weighing the mass deviation before and after the filter paper, so as to determine whether the weight of particulate matter in the vehicle's exhaust pollutants meets the national standard limit requirements.

[0004] Usually, the weight of the filter paper used to collect particulate matter in the exhaust gas of light vehicles is less than 100 mg, and the weight of the particles collected on the filter paper is at the microgram level. The filter paper has very high requirements for the weighing environment, and the weighing results will change due to fluctuations in ambient temperature, humidity and air pressure. At the same time, the microgram balance used has high accuracy requirements, and slight vibrations in the surrounding environment will cause the measurement stability and service life of the precision instrument.

[0005] At present, the weighing process of particulate matter emitted by light-duty vehicles is as follows:

[0006] One hour before using the filter paper, put the required filter paper into a sealed container with a lid and place it in a weighing box, so that the filter paper is stable in an environment of 20±2℃, dew point temperature <10.5℃, and relative humidity of 45±8%. Then open the screw door of the microgram balance, place the filter paper steadily and evenly on the six-claw antenna of the microgram balance, close the screw door of the microgram balance, and after the microgram balance is stable, manually record the displayed data and take out the filter paper. To reduce the measurement error, repeat the weighing process three times for each filter paper, and take the average of the three times as the weight of the filter paper. The weighed filter paper can be taken for testing. After the test, the filter paper before and after the collection of particles will continue to be placed in a sealed container with a lid and placed in a weighing box. After the particles are stably deposited on the filter paper (about one hour or more), repeat the above weighing operation steps again, and take the average of three times to obtain the weight of the filter paper with particles. The weight of the filter paper before and after sampling is processed to obtain the final weight of the particles. In this weighing process, there are the following defects:

[0007] 1. It takes a long time. During the entire weighing process, it is necessary to wait for the filter paper to stabilize several times before the weighing operation can be carried out. During the weighing operation, the placement of the filter paper, the opening and closing of the microgram balance knob, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the knob, and the operation of the temperature and humidity control system in the weighing box will cause mechanical vibration. Each weighing requires a period of time for the reading to stabilize, which seriously affects the efficiency of the test.

[0008] 2. Weighing operation requires a period of training; when placing the filter paper on the microgram balance, each antenna needs to bear a similar weight, otherwise it will affect the stability of the microgram balance. Frequent internal adjustments will affect the service life of the microgram balance and test the operator's skills.

[0009] 3. There is pollution, which affects the accuracy of the data. During manual operation, the weighing channel of the weighing box will be opened, and some dust in the environment will enter the weighing box. The swing gate of the microgram balance has a large opening. When it is opened, it mixes with the air in the weighing box, and some particles enter the swing gate of the microgram balance. When placing the filter paper with tweezers, the tip of the tweezers will scrape some particles on the filter paper into the swing gate of the microgram balance. Both will cause pollution to the weighing environment of the microgram balance, thereby affecting the accuracy of the weighing results.

[0010] 4. The management of the vessels is in disarray. The filter paper needs to be placed in a sealed container with a lid one hour before use. After the test, the filter paper that has collected the particles needs to be placed back in a sealed container with a lid, soaked for a period of time, and weighed again. When multiple tests are carried out, there will be a phenomenon of filter paper being placed in the wrong vessel and being in disarray, and personnel are required to regularly clean the vessels that have been weighed.

[0011] 5. The data needs to be corrected manually later; when the sampling filter paper is weighed, the filter paper is in the medium (air). Because its own weight is very small and the weighing accuracy is high, its final weight is greatly affected by the buoyancy of the air. According to the requirements of standard GB18352.6-2016, it is necessary to record the temperature, humidity and pressure of the weighing environment to correct the buoyancy of the filter paper. This operation requires manual data processing again later. Summary of the invention

[0012] In view of the defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes a method for weighing filter paper for sampling particulate matter in automobile emission tests, which standardizes the management of sealed covered vessels, strengthens the stability of microgram balances, saves filter paper weighing time, reduces personnel calculation errors and pollution of the weighing environment, improves the accuracy and reliability of filter paper weight data, and accelerates detection efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, the environment monitoring module is used to automatically record the temperature, humidity, dew point and pressure data in the weighing environment at a certain frequency, and when the monitored data exceeds a preset range, the environment control module is started.

[0025] Furthermore, the environment control module is used to control the temperature and humidity in the weighing environment to maintain a constant and stable state, and to detect whether the weighing environment meets the preset environmental conditions. When the preset environmental conditions are met, a paper output instruction is issued to the filter paper weighing module.

[0026] Furthermore, the tray control module is used to control the filter paper weighing module to place the clean filter paper in an empty covered vessel box in the storage area of ​​the vessel transport module.

In this weighing method, the weighing environment is almost not in contact with the external environment, thus avoiding pollution of the weighing area by the external environment. The filter papers with particulate matter are weighed after being immersed and stabilized, and the vibration is small during the weighing operation, so there is no pollution to the weighing environment. The used filter papers are placed in a covered waste box, and multiple settings fully avoid pollution of the weighing environment and affect the accuracy of the data, so the obtained data has high reliability.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] Embodiment 1:

[0045] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-2 A method for weighing filter paper for sampling particulate matter in automobile emission tests, the weighing method comprises four modules, namely a host control module, a data management and processing module, a filter paper weighing module and a vessel transportation module, the host control module, the data management and processing module, the filter paper weighing module and the vessel transportation module are all arranged in a weighing box.

[0046] The host control module is used to monitor and control the temperature, humidity and pressure of the weighing environment, receive input commands and control the operation of other modules. It can query and output filter paper data, including the interactive module, environmental monitoring module, environmental control module, tray control module and vessel transport control module.

[0047] Specifically, the interactive module is used to input the required number of filter paper sheets and query the filter paper data according to the time and the vessel number. The environmental monitoring module is used to automatically record the temperature, humidity, dew point and pressure data in the weighing environment at a certain frequency. When the monitored data exceeds the preset range, the environmental control module is started. The interactive module has an alarm function. When the clean filter paper is about to run out or the waste box is about to be full, the temperature control system needs to be replenished with water, etc., the alarm will be automatically alarmed. The environmental control module is used to control the temperature and humidity in the weighing box to maintain a constant and stable state, receive filter paper weighing instructions, and detect whether the weighing area meets the environmental preset conditions. After the environmental preset conditions are met, the paper output instruction is issued to the filter paper weighing module. The tray control module is used to control the filter paper weighing module to place the clean filter paper in the idle covered vessel box of the vessel transport module. The vessel transport control module is used to control the covered vessel box in the control vessel transport module to open or close, and control the vessel transport module to transport the covered vessel boxes before and after the test to the designated area, and recycle the filter paper after the test weighing.

[0048] The data management and processing module is used to receive signals transmitted from the microgram balance and the vessel module, match and store the filter paper weight with the vessel number in which it is stored and the temperature, humidity and pressure in the environment during weighing, automatically record the time when the vessel with the filter paper containing particulate matter is placed in the transmission module, and when the preset time is reached, transmit the signal to other modules to start the filter paper weighing, record the filter paper weight, the environmental temperature, humidity, dew point and pressure during weighing, automatically perform buoyancy correction on the data, and calculate the mass of particulate matter collected by the filter paper in the vessel number.

[0049] The filter paper weighing module is used to weigh the pure filter paper before the test and the filter paper after the test, including the filter paper box, lifting tray and microgram balance.

[0050] The vessel transport module is used to transport the filter paper that meets the test conditions and has been weighed to the waiting area, and to transport the tested filter paper to the waiting area for standing and then continue to transport it to the filter paper weighing module, a conveying device assembly, a vessel box with a cover, a vessel cover opening and closing mechanism and a waste box with a cover. The conveying device assembly has a storage area, a waiting area, a standing area and a waiting area.

[0051] The method for weighing filter paper for sampling particulate matter in automobile emission tests includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Input command; the tester inputs the number of filter papers required for the test on the host control module according to the test requirements.

[0053] Step 2: Weighing environment detection; the environment control module in the host control module maintains the temperature and humidity in the entire weighing box. The environment control module monitors whether the weighing environment meets the requirements. If the requirements are met, the filter paper of the filter paper weighing module falls to the lifting tray.

[0054] Step 3: Weigh the clean filter paper; after the filter paper falls onto the lifting tray, the lifting tray slowly falls down and is placed steadily on the microgram balance. After the indication stabilizes, the data is stored in the data management and processing module through the signal. Then the lifting tray rises and falls down again to the microgram balance for weighing. Each piece of filter paper is weighed three times in the same way as above.

[0055] Step 4: Allocate vessels; after the clean filter paper is weighed, the vessel cover opening and closing mechanism of the storage area of ​​the vessel transport module opens the lid of the covered vessel box, the lifting tray puts the filter paper into the covered vessel box allocated by the vessel transport module, the vessel cover opening and closing mechanism buckles the lid of the covered vessel box, the data management and processing module matches the number of the covered vessel box with the filter paper data, and the vessel transport module transports the covered vessel box containing the clean filter paper to the waiting area of ​​the vessel transport module.

[0056] Step 5: Vessel recovery; the test personnel put the covered vessel box containing the filter paper after the test into the designated area of ​​the vessel transport module. The vessel transport module transports it to the static area. The data management and processing module records the vessel number and the time when the vessel is placed. After the set static time is reached, the vessel transport module transports it to the weighing area.

[0057] Step 6: After the test, the filter paper is weighed; the vessel cover opening and closing mechanism opens the lid of the covered vessel box based on the preset time and pours the filter paper into the lifting tray. The idle covered vessel box is transported to the storage area by the conveying device assembly to wait for the next clean filter paper to be put in, and the filter paper weighing module repeats step 3.

[0058] Step 7: Calculation and query; After weighing, the filter paper with particles is placed into a waste box with a cover by the lifting tray. The data management and processing module records and corrects the data, calculates the weight of the particles, and transmits the data to the control module. The test personnel view and export the final data through the host control module.

[0059] It should be noted that the buoyancy correction of the weight of the weighed filter paper in step 3 and step 7 is in accordance with the requirements of GB18352.6-2016. The buoyancy correction of the filter paper mass is performed based on the temperature and air pressure values ​​in the weighing box collected each time the particle filter paper is weighed, and the buoyancy coefficient is corrected using the buoyancy correction formula to calculate the corrected filter paper weight. The buoyancy correction depends on the density of the filter paper itself, the air density, and the density of the standard weight for calibrating the balance. The buoyancy correction formula is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Where:

[0062] m f Indicates the weight of the corrected particle filter paper, unit: mg;

[0063] m u Indicates the weight of particle filter paper before correction, unit: mg;

[0064] ρ a Indicates the local air density, unit: kg / m3;

[0065] ρ w Indicates the density of the reference weight, unit: kg / m3;

[0066] ρ f Indicates the density of the filter paper itself, unit: kg / m3;

[0067] P b Indicates atmospheric pressure, unit: kPa;

[0068] M min Indicates the molar mass of air;

[0069] T a Indicates the air temperature inside the weighing box, unit: K;

[0070] R represents the molar gas constant.
