[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a baking system for heating the secondary standard chamber, the pressure stabilization chamber, and the sample chamber.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0023] 1. By adding sample chambers and containers, several containers can respectively contain several samples to be tested and then enter the sample chamber for batch standardization. After the standardization is completed, the sealing valve is closed, and the air supply system re-pressurizes the sample chamber, and then the movable valve is opened to discharge the container. In this way, batch testing of samples to be tested can be achieved through the static expansion method, and the sealing valve and the air supply system directly re-pressurize the sample chamber, so that the secondary standard chamber is prevented from breaking vacuum during the discharge of the samples to be tested in the sample chambers, the overall breaking vacuum volume of the overall standard device is reduced, and the efficiency of re-evacuating the sample chamber after the second batch of samples to be tested are fed is improved, thereby improving the overall efficiency of testing the standards of the samples to be tested.
[0024] 2. After the container slides into the sample chamber through the cooperation between several rows of rolling elements and several limiting grooves, the limiting part is horizontally limited between the movable valve and the limiting area. Thus, through the cooperation between several rows of rolling elements and several limiting grooves, the front and rear limiting setting of the container after sliding into the sample chamber is realized. At the same time, the limiting part is limited to the left and right through the movable valve and the limiting area, and the container fed into the sample chamber is limited in four directions, front, back, left and right, so as to improve the stability of the container in the sample chamber, and then improve the stability of the samples to be tested contained in several containing areas of the container, so as to avoid the excessive sliding of the container when the sample chamber is evacuated or inflated during the static expansion method detection, which may cause the sample to be tested to collide with the container or even fall off, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the batch detection standard for the samples to be tested.
[0025] 3. After the container is driven by the feeding mechanism to feed into the sample chamber, the baffle piece is extended and pressed down by a plurality of pressure blocks to a lateral limit set between the top of the container and the bottom of the plurality of pressure blocks, so that the container is automatically fed into the sample chamber by the addition of the feeding mechanism. At the same time, by adding baffle pieces and pressure blocks, after the container enters the sample chamber, in addition to being limited to the left and right at one end of the limit part, the other end is also limited by the pressure of a plurality of pressure blocks, which further improves the stability of the container in the sample chamber and improves the detection accuracy of the sample to be tested. Moreover, after the standard is completed, the gas supply system re-pressurizes the sample chamber, and after the movable valve is opened, the plurality of pressure blocks return to the sample chamber. The air baffle member is retracted so that it is driven by the torsion spring to reset to the vertical setting. A gap is set between the air baffle member and the baffle member and the inner wall of the sample chamber and a plurality of limit grooves. The air supply system continues to supply air to the sample chamber through the air inlet hole to push the baffle member and the air baffle member to drive the container to discharge to the feeding mechanism for output. As a result, the air supply system not only has the function of re-pressurizing the sample chamber, but also has the function of cooperating with the baffle member and the air baffle member to drive the container to discharge to the outside of the sample chamber. Automatic discharge of the container can be achieved without designing other mechanisms. On the premise of realizing automatic feeding and discharging of the container to improve the standard efficiency of batch detection of samples to be tested, the driving cost can be reduced.
[0026] 4. After the container is fed into the sample chamber, the pressure block of the baffle is pressed down and laterally embedded in the step portion, so that the height of the baffle is reduced by the addition of the step portion, and the other end of the container is arranged at a distance from the air inlet hole, so as to ensure that the air supply system can supply air to the sample chamber through the air inlet hole under the premise of reducing the height of the air inlet hole, thereby reducing the required height of the sample chamber, so as to reduce the air supply system's re-pressurization of the sample chamber and the air supply volume of the air pressurized to push the baffle and the air baffle to drive the container to discharge the material, thereby further reducing the driving cost of the automatic discharge of the container.
[0027] 5. When the conveyor belt drives the container to feed, the push block is used to push the container to feed into the sample chamber; when the baffle piece drives the container to discharge to one end to dock with the corresponding conveyor belt, the air supply system stops supplying air to the sample chamber, and the drive block is used to insert into the corresponding drive groove as the conveyor belt rotates to push the container to continue discharging. As a result, when the container is discharged, the air supply system only needs to supply air and pressurize to push the baffle piece and the air blocking part to drive the container to move a short distance, so that one end of the container can dock with the corresponding conveyor belt. The subsequent discharge action is completed by the drive block and the drive groove, which greatly reduces the air supply volume required by the air supply system to drive the container to discharge, and further reduces the air supply cost of the air supply system when the container is discharged.
[0028] 6. When the feed belt and the discharge belt rise to the sample chamber corresponding to the discharge belt, the feed belt is used to receive the second batch of containers, and the discharge belt is used to receive the first batch of containers in the sample chamber; when the feed belt and the discharge belt descend to the sample chamber corresponding to the feed belt, the feed belt is used to feed the received second batch of containers into the sample chamber, and the discharge belt is used to output the first batch of containers. Thus, through the lifting and lowering setting of the feed belt and the discharge belt, the first batch of containers can be discharged to the discharge belt after the inspection standard and the second batch of containers can be loaded to the feed belt simultaneously, and the discharge belt can output the first batch of containers and the feed belt can feed the second batch of containers into the sample chamber simultaneously, which improves the consistency and smoothness of the container input and output actions, reduces the time difference between input and output, improves the utilization rate of the feed belt and the discharge belt, improves the input and output efficiency of batch containers, and thus improves the efficiency of batch inspection standards.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] Reference Figure 1-13 As shown, a static expansion method vacuum standard device comprises:
[0045] The first-level standard chamber 1 and the second-level standard chamber 2 are connected. Specifically, the first-level standard chamber 1 is a sampling chamber, which belongs to the low vacuum and small volume side during the static expansion method test. In order to make the test accuracy of the sampling sensor device 511 in the following stabilizing chamber 51 within its optimal range, the volume of the first-level standard chamber 1 is designed to be 12mL or 120mL; the second-level standard chamber 2 is an expansion chamber, which belongs to the high vacuum and large volume side during the static expansion method test, and its volume is designed to be 100L;
[0046] A plurality of sample chambers 3 are connected to the secondary standard chamber 2 through sealing valves 31, and a movable valve 32 is provided at one end of the plurality of sample chambers 3; specifically, in this embodiment, each sample chamber 3 can hold 10 samples 9 to be tested, and the volume of each sample chamber 3 is about 1.5L, the sealing valve 31 is a vacuum valve 43, and the movable valve 32 is an electric valve driven up and down by a motor;
[0047] An exhaust system 4, used for evacuating the primary standard chamber 1, the secondary standard chamber 2 and the sample chamber 3;
[0048] A gas supply system 5, used for supplying gas to the primary standard chamber 1, the secondary standard chamber 2 and the sample chamber 3;
[0049] A plurality of accommodating members 6 corresponding to the sample chamber 3, each of the accommodating members 6 being provided with a plurality of accommodating areas 61 for accommodating a plurality of samples 9 to be tested; the accommodating members 6 are used to accommodate a plurality of samples 9 to be tested and feed them into the corresponding sample chamber 3 detection standard. After the standard is completed, the sealing valve 31 is closed, and after the gas supply system 5 supplies gas to the sample chamber 3 for re-pressurization, the movable valve 32 is opened, and the accommodating member 6 discharges the material. Specifically, the sample 9 to be tested is a pressure sensor for measuring gas pressure and vacuum degree, and the shape of the accommodating area 61 can be adaptively changed with the shape of the sample 9 to be tested.
[0050] The above structure is set up, through the addition of the sample chamber 3 and the container 6, so that several containers 6 can respectively contain several samples 9 to be tested and then enter the sample chamber 3 for batch standardization. After the standardization is completed, the sealing valve 31 is closed, and after the gas supply system 5 supplies gas to the sample chamber 3 and re-pressurizes it, the movable valve 32 is opened, and the container 6 is discharged. Therefore, batch testing standards for the samples 9 to be tested can be achieved through the static expansion method, and the sealing valve 31 and the gas supply system 5 directly supply gas to the sample chamber 3 and re-pressurize it, so that the secondary standard chamber 2 is prevented from breaking vacuum during the discharge of the samples 9 to be tested in the sample chambers 3, and the overall breaking vacuum volume of the standard device is reduced, and the efficiency of re-evacuating the sample chamber 3 after the second batch of samples 9 to be tested is improved, thereby improving the overall efficiency of testing standards for the samples 9 to be tested.
[0051] In order to improve the stability of the accommodating member 6 after feeding, several of the sample chambers 3 are laterally extended and the inner bottom is laterally recessed to provide several limit grooves 33. The bottom of the accommodating member 6 is movably provided with several rows of rolling members 62 corresponding to the several limit grooves 33. Specifically, the rolling members 62 are ball bearings. The accommodating area 61 is an accommodating groove recessed at the top of the accommodating member 6. The inner top of one end of the sample chamber 3 is recessed to form a limit area 34. A limit portion 63 corresponding to the limit area 34 is convexly provided on one end of the accommodating member 6. After the accommodating member 6 slides into the sample chamber 3 through the cooperation and limiting between several rows of rolling members 62 and several limit grooves 33, the limit portion 63 is laterally limited between the movable valve 32 and the limit area 34. Thus, through the cooperation between the rows of rolling elements 62 and the limiting grooves 33, the front and rear limiting setting is realized after the accommodating element 6 slides into the sample chamber 3. At the same time, the limiting part 63 is limited to the left and right through the movable valve 32 and the limiting area 34, and the accommodating element 6 fed into the sample chamber 3 is limited in four directions, front, back, left and right, so as to improve the stability of the accommodating element 6 in the sample chamber 3, and then improve the stability of the sample 9 to be tested contained in the several containing areas 61 of the accommodating element 6, avoid the excessive sliding of the accommodating element 6 when the sample chamber 3 is evacuated or inflated during the static expansion method detection, and cause the sample 9 to collide with the accommodating element 6 or even fall off, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the batch detection standard of the sample 9 to be tested.
[0052] In order to further improve the efficiency of batch testing of the samples 9 to be tested, the standard device also includes a feeding mechanism 7 corresponding to the plurality of movable valves 32, the movable valve 32 is provided at one lateral end of the sample chamber 3, and an air inlet 35 connected to the air supply system 5 is penetrated through the side wall at the other lateral end, and the other end of the accommodating member 6 is set as an air blocking portion 64, and the air blocking portion 64 is rotatably connected to a vertically arranged blocking piece 65 through a plurality of torsion springs, and the inner limit sliding of the side wall at the other lateral end of the sample chamber 3 is driven by the telescopic driving device. The plurality of pressure blocks 36 are movable and retractable, and the plurality of pressure blocks 36 correspond to the baffle pieces 65; after the accommodating member 6 is driven by the feeding mechanism 7 to feed into the sample chamber 3, the baffle pieces 65 are extended and pressed down by the plurality of pressure blocks 36 to a position between the top of the accommodating member 6 and the bottom of the plurality of pressure blocks 36, so that the accommodating member 6 is automatically fed into the sample chamber 3 by the addition of the feeding mechanism 7. At the same time, the baffle pieces 65 and the pressure blocks 36 are added, so that after the accommodating member 6 enters the sample chamber 3, except for the left and right restrictions at one end of the limiting portion 63, , the other end is also limited by a plurality of pressing blocks 36, which further improves the stability of the accommodating member 6 in the sample chamber 3 and improves the detection accuracy of the sample 9 to be tested. Moreover, after the standard is completed, the gas supply system 5 supplies gas to the sample chamber 3 for re-pressurization. After the movable valve 32 is opened, a plurality of the pressing blocks 36 retract so that the baffle member 65 is driven by the torsion spring to reset to the vertical setting. The air baffle portion 64 and the baffle member 65 are set with gaps between the inner wall of the sample chamber 3 and a plurality of the limiting grooves 33. The gas supply system 5 continues to pass through the inlet. The air hole 35 supplies air to the sample chamber 3, and pushes the baffle piece 65 and the air baffle part 64 to drive the container 6 to discharge the material to the feeding mechanism 7 for output, so that the air supply system 5 not only has the function of supplying air and re-pressurizing the sample chamber 3, but also has the function of cooperating with the baffle piece 65 and the air baffle part 64 to drive the container 6 to discharge the material outside the sample chamber 3. The automatic discharge of the container 6 can be realized without designing other mechanisms. On the premise of realizing automatic feeding and discharging of the container 6 to improve the standard efficiency of batch detection of the samples 9 to be tested, the driving cost can be reduced.
[0053] Since the gas supplied by the gas supply system 5 is dry nitrogen, in order to reduce the gas supply cost of the gas supply system 5 when the container 6 is unloading, the top of the other end of the container 6 is concave to form a step portion 66 located at the top of the air blocking portion 64, and the lower end of the baffle member 65 is rotatably connected to the end of the step portion 66 through a plurality of torsion springs. Specifically, the baffle member 65 is rotatably connected to the ear plates at both ends of the end of the step portion 66 through a rotating shaft, and the torsion spring whose two ends are respectively connected to the ear plates and the baffle member 65 is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The bottom of the pressure block 36 is inclined near one end of the container 6 to form a guide surface 361 corresponding to the baffle member 65. The telescopic driving device includes an electromagnet and a spring connected between the electromagnet and the pressure block 36. The height of the air inlet 35 and the pressure block 36 is lower than that of the container. The height of the component 6 is 20mm-25mm, specifically, the height of the sample chamber 3 is 22mm; after the accommodating component 6 is fed into the sample chamber 3, the baffle component 65 is pressed downward by the pressing block 36 and is laterally embedded in the step portion 66, so that the height of the baffle component 65 is reduced by the addition of the step portion 66, and the other end of the accommodating component 6 is spaced apart from the air inlet 35, so that on the premise of reducing the height of the air inlet 35, it is ensured that the air supply system 5 can supply air to the sample chamber 3 through the air inlet 35, thereby reducing the required height of the sample chamber 3, so as to reduce the air supply re-pressurization of the air supply system 5 to the sample chamber 3 and the air supply pressurization to push the baffle component 65 and the air baffle portion 64 to drive the accommodating component 6 to discharge the material, and further reduce the driving cost of the automatic discharge of the accommodating component 6.
[0054] In order to further reduce the gas supply cost of the gas supply system 5 when the container 6 is discharged, a plurality of drive grooves 67 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction are recessed on the bottom of the container 6, and the feeding mechanism 7 includes a plurality of conveyor belts driven to rotate by the driving assembly, and the plurality of conveyor belts are spaced apart from each other at a lateral end of the plurality of sample chambers 3, and the conveyor belt is provided with a push block 71 corresponding to the end of the container 6 and a drive block 72 corresponding to the drive groove 67; when the conveyor belt drives the container 6 to feed, the push block 71 is used to push the container 6 to feed into the sample chamber 3; when the baffle member 6 drives the container 6 to discharge to one end and docks with the corresponding conveyor belt, the gas supply system 5 stops supplying gas to the sample chamber 3, and the drive block 72 is used to be inserted into the corresponding drive groove 67 as the conveyor belt rotates to push the container 6 to continue discharging. Therefore, when the container 6 is discharged, the air supply system 5 only needs to supply air pressurization to push the baffle 65 and the air baffle 64 to drive the container 6 to move a short distance, so that one end of the container 6 can dock with the corresponding conveyor belt. The subsequent discharge action is completed by the drive block 72 in cooperation with the drive groove 67, which greatly reduces the air supply volume required by the air supply system 5 to drive the container 6 to discharge the material, and further reduces the air supply cost of the air supply system 5 when the container 6 is discharged.
[0055] In order to improve the working efficiency of the feeding mechanism 7, the plurality of conveyor belts include a plurality of feed belts 73 and a plurality of discharge belts 74 distributed up and down, and the feed belts 73 and the discharge belts 74 are driven up and down by the lifting drive device 75. The push block 71 on the feed belt 73 corresponds to the limit portion 63, and the push block 71 on the discharge belt 74 corresponds to the air blocking portion 64. The drive block 72 is provided with a plurality of drive grooves 67 at intervals in the lateral direction, and at least two of them correspond to one drive groove 67, so that the feed belt 73 or the discharge belt 74 is pushed up and down by at least two drive blocks 72 corresponding to one drive groove 67. The accommodating parts 6 are laterally limited to improve the stability of the conveying of the conveyor belt; when the feed belt 73 and the discharge belt 74 rise to the point where the discharge belt 74 corresponds to the sample chamber 3, the feed belt 73 is used to receive the second batch of the accommodating parts 6, and the discharge belt 74 is used to receive the first batch of the accommodating parts 6 in the sample chamber 3; when the feed belt 73 and the discharge belt 74 descend to the point where the feed belt 73 corresponds to the sample chamber 3, the feed belt 73 is used to feed the received second batch of the accommodating parts 6 into the sample chamber 3, and the discharge belt 74 is used to output the first batch of the accommodating parts 6.
