Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a particle surface adhesion energy measurement technology, and in particular to a centrifugal particle surface adhesion energy measurement device, system and method based on synchronous belt drive. Background Art
[0002] In fields such as materials science, chemical engineering, and pharmaceutical engineering, particle surface adhesion energy is crucial for understanding particle surface properties, optimizing production processes, and improving product quality. However, measuring particle surface adhesion energy is a complex process, as it involves multiple factors, including the particle's physical and chemical properties, particle shape, size distribution, and external environment.
[0003] With the development of technology, the measurement methods of particle surface adhesion energy are also constantly developing. Common measurement methods include atomic force microscopy (AFM), electric field separation method, collision method, etc. These methods have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different research scenarios. Although AFM can provide accurate surface morphology and adhesion energy data, it can only measure the adhesion force of a single particle. The measurement is time-consuming and the equipment cost is too expensive. The electric field separation method characterizes the surface adhesion energy of particles by using an electric field to separate the particles from the substrate. However, the target of this technical means is limited to conductive particles. The collision method balances the vibration force and adhesion force through the collision between the sample carrier and the base, but the collision effect is not repeatable and the impact time measurement accuracy is insufficient. Therefore, the technical means in the prior art are usually only applicable to specific measurement environments or experiments, and the time cost is too high. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Example 1
[0037] The embodiment of the present invention provides a centrifugal particle surface adhesion energy measuring device based on synchronous belt drive, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, it includes a sample carrier 1, a base 2, a transparent cover 3, a chassis 4, a first synchronous pulley 5, a bearing 6, a base plate 7, a fastening shaft 8, a second synchronous pulley 9, a keyway shaft 10, a coupling 11, a motor 12 and a synchronous belt. The sample carrier 1 is connected to the base 2, the base 2 can slide radially along the chassis 4, the transparent cover 3 is covered on the chassis 4, the first synchronous pulley 5 is connected to the bottom of the chassis 4, the bearing 6 is a cross roller bearing, one end of the bearing 6 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 5, and the other end is fixed on the base plate 7, the keyway shaft 10 is fixed on the base plate 7, the fastening shaft 8 is sleeved on the outside of the keyway shaft 10, the second synchronous pulley 9 is sleeved on the outside of the fastening shaft 8, the motor 12 is connected to the keyway shaft 10 through the coupling 11, and the first synchronous pulley 5 and the second synchronous pulley 9 are connected through a synchronous belt (not shown).
[0038] like Figure 2 and4 As shown, the sample loading platform 1 is L-shaped, formed by a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate has through-holes, through which the horizontal plate is fixed to the base 2 by screws passing through the through-holes. The base 2 is hollowed out in the middle, and the upper surface of the chassis 4 is provided with a T-shaped protrusion 13 in the radial direction. The base 2 is sleeved outside the T-shaped protrusion 13 and can slide along the T-shaped protrusion. The base 2 has through-holes on the side, through which screws are inserted to fix the base 2 in place during use.
[0039] The transparent cover 3 has several through-holes on its bottom periphery, and is secured to the chassis 4 via screws passing through the through-holes. An annular protrusion and countersunk holes are provided on one side of the top surface of the base plate 7. The inner race of the bearing 6 is connected to the base plate 7 via the countersunk holes. A through-hole is provided on the other side of the top surface of the base plate 7, into which a keyed shaft 10 is inserted.
[0040] The first synchronous pulley 5 and the second synchronous pulley 9 constitute a synchronous transmission system. The rotation of the motor 12 drives the keyway shaft 10, which in turn drives the second synchronous pulley 9. The rotation of the second synchronous pulley 9 drives the first synchronous pulley 5 through the synchronous belt. The radius of the first synchronous pulley 5 is smaller than that of the second synchronous pulley 9, which can amplify the centrifugal effect and enhance the experimental effect.

[0055]
[0056] Arranging the above formula, we get F ad and Fc are the adhesion force and centrifugal force of the particles, respectively.
[0057] Example 3

[0065]
[0066] This method calculates the particle adhesion energy by balancing the centrifugal force and adhesion force during high-speed particle rotation. The experimental principle is simple, the experimental setup is simple, and the operation is easy.
