Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a polymer material detection device, in particular to a polymer material hot-melt state flow performance detection device. Background Art
[0002] Testing the hot melt properties of polymer materials is a crucial evaluation task in materials science. It is directly related to the performance and application effect of materials in hot melt processing, molding, coating, bonding and other processes. Hot melt performance refers to the ability of a material to gradually transform from a solid state to a viscous state with fluidity due to the intensified movement of its molecular segments under heating conditions. Evaluating this performance is crucial to ensuring the stability of the material during processing and the quality of the final product.
[0003] At present, the main method for testing the hot melt properties of polymer materials is to heat the material to a certain temperature and measure its flow rate to determine its hot melt properties. This testing method usually relies on special equipment such as rheometers or viscometers to observe the flow behavior of the material under set conditions of temperature, pressure and shear rate, such as changes in parameters such as viscosity and flow index. The changes in these parameters can directly reflect the fluidity and hot melt state of the material under heating conditions, and then evaluate its hot melt properties.

An observation window made of a transparent acrylic plate is provided on the inclined pipe 102. The scale plate 7 can assist the image capturer 6 to facilitate data collection by the staff. The upper end of the inclined pipe 102 is connected to a placement cylinder 101, and the lower end of the inclined pipe 102 is connected to a recovery cylinder 103. The placement cylinder 101 and the recovery cylinder 103 are respectively fixed at the upper and lower ends of the detection platform 1, and the constant temperature plate 104 heats the placement cylinder 101, the inclined pipe 102 and the recovery cylinder 103. In this embodiment, three groups of placement cylinders 101, inclined pipes 10 2 and a recovery cylinder 103, and also includes a hot melt mechanism and an image capturer 6, the hot melt mechanism is composed of a placement unit and a recovery unit, the placement unit is composed of a synchronous rotation component 4 and a material cylinder 3, the material cylinder 3 is placed in the placement cylinder 101, the material cylinder 3 is equipped with a sealing cover 301, a rotatable control ring 2 is arranged in the placement cylinder 101, the material cylinder 3 is clamped in the control ring 2 through a spline, and an overflow hole 302 that can be connected to the placement cylinder 101 is opened on the side wall of the material cylinder 3, the synchronous rotation component 4 drives the material cylinder 3 to rotate to control the high polymer material in the material cylinder 3 to flow into the oblique pipe 102 after hot melting, and specifically, the synchronous rotation component 4 is composed of an electric push rod and a push rod, and the electric push rod is fixed to the upper end of the detection table 1 by bolts. The telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected with a push rod, a convex shaft is arranged on the push rod, a grooved convex ring is arranged on the side of the control ring 2, and the convex ring is slidably sleeved on the convex shaft. By turning on the electric push rod, the push rod is driven to move horizontally, and the push rod will drive the control ring 2 to rotate through the convex ring, and then drive the material barrel 3 to rotate. The recovery unit is composed of a guide barrel 5 and a block 502. The guide barrel 5 is slidably embedded in the recovery barrel 103 and fixed by the block 502. The guide barrel 5 is used to hold the hot-melt polymer material left by the oblique pipe 102. The block 502 is connected to the bottom of the detection table 1 through a reset spring. The opposite side of the block 502 is provided with an L-shaped groove, and the L-shaped groove can be embedded in the bottom of the guide barrel 5, so that it can The material guide cylinder 5 is fixed in the recovery cylinder 103. A rotating handle 501 is provided at the bottom of the material guide cylinder 5. The rotating handle 501 can contact and push the block 502 to move centrifugally.

The outside of the foot 11 is provided with a thread, and the worm wheel 12 is provided with an internal thread and is threadedly connected to the outside of the foot 11. The worm 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the test platform 1. The worm wheel 12 can be driven to rotate by rotating the worm 13, and the worm wheel 12 drives the foot 11 to adjust its height through the internal thread. The foot 11 with adjustable height can quickly level the test platform 1, so that the bottom of the test platform 1 is in a horizontal state, and the placement tube 101 will be at the same height, reducing the influence of height difference variables on the fluidity detection of the hot melt state of the polymer material.
[0032] Working principle of the embodiment of the present invention: This embodiment is provided with three groups of placement cylinders 101, oblique pipes 102 and recovery cylinders 103, so as to conduct comparative experiments of the same type of polymer materials and control experiments of different types of polymer materials. The polymer material is placed in the material cylinder 3, and then the material cylinder 3 is placed in the placement cylinder 101. The material cylinder 3 will be connected to the control ring 2 through the spline, and then the constant temperature plate 104 is turned on to heat the placement cylinder 101, the oblique pipe 102 and the recovery cylinder 103 synchronously. When the polymer material is heated from a solid state to a hot melt liquid state, the control ring 2 is driven to rotate through the synchronous rotation component 4. Since the material cylinder 3 is provided with an overflow hole 302, the overflow hole 302 can overlap with the placement cylinder 101 and the interface of the oblique pipe 102, so after the material barrel 3 is rotated, the hot-melt polymer material can be introduced into the oblique pipe 102, and the synchronous rotation component 4 is set to unify the variables, so that the start time of the export of the three groups of experiments is consistent, and then the hot-melt polymer material in the oblique pipe 102 is displaced or observed by the image capture device 6, such as the flow rate of the hot-melt polymer material in the specified time, or the flow shape of the hot-melt polymer material, etc. The hot-melt polymer material will eventually flow into the recovery barrel 103, and then be uniformly collected and processed by the material guide barrel 5. The material guide barrel 5 can be taken out for cleaning by turning the handle. When the oblique pipe 102 needs to be cleaned, the material barrel 3 is taken out from the placement barrel 101, and then the polymer material in the oblique pipe 102 is cleaned from the upper end of the oblique pipe 102 through the long rod.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
