Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of irregular block solid thermal conductivity measurement, and in particular relates to an irregular block solid thermal conductivity measurement device and a measurement method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thermal conductivity is one of the basic parameters for measuring the thermal properties of an object. Heterogeneous bulk materials are commonly found in aerospace, oil extraction, rock excavation, geothermal development, frozen soil engineering and other related fields. Accurate thermal conductivity measurement can better analyze the evolution history of rocks, the cyclic characteristics of frozen soil, and simulate the distribution characteristics of the temperature field around rocks and soil during oil extraction to provide thermal protection. Therefore, accurate and efficient measurement of the thermal conductivity of heterogeneous bulk materials has important practical and theoretical significance.

[0003] The measurement of thermal conductivity can be generally divided into steady-state method and non-steady-state method. In the steady-state method, the sample to be tested is compressed into a standardized material plate, and the thermal conductivity is calculated using a balanced heat flux meter under a constant temperature gradient. Since the material needs to be changed into a standard shape, this type of measurement is destructive and cannot be applied to porous materials. For the non-steady-state method, thermal scanning and line source technology are two commonly used methods. The heat source and thermal sensor are moved at the same speed and kept at a constant distance from each other. The thermal conductivity is obtained by measuring the change in the temperature signal of the thermal sensor with distance. This type of method usually takes a long time to measure, and for materials with low thermal conductivity, the temperature signal of the thermal sensor is weak, which will cause large errors.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned thermal conductivity measurement method has the following problems to a greater or lesser extent: there is randomness in the selection of heating points, and sometimes the temperature rise signal of the selected measurement point is not obvious, resulting in a large measurement error; for porous materials, it is impossible to accurately obtain the law between its thermal conductivity and pore distribution. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a device for measuring the thermal conductivity of irregular block solids and a method for measuring the same, so as to solve the problems that the existing measuring devices have randomness in selecting heating points, sometimes the temperature rise signal of the selected measuring point is not obvious, resulting in large measurement errors, and for porous materials, the law between their thermal conductivity and pore distribution cannot be accurately obtained.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0013] Step 1: Place the sample to be tested on the turntable;

[0014] Step 2: Move the sample to be tested to the detection area of ​​the 3D scanner by moving the slider, and scan it with the 3D scanner;

[0015] Step 3: Determine whether the computing system obtains a three-dimensional scanning signal;

[0016] Step 4: After obtaining the three-dimensional scanning signal, the slider is moved to the detection area of ​​the CT detector by moving the slider, and detection is performed by the CT detector;

[0017] Step 5: Determine whether the computing system obtains the signal of the CT detector;

[0018] Step 6: After obtaining the signal of the CT detector, the computing system calculates the optimal incident position of the light source of the pulse light source system and the optimal detection position of the temperature detection device;

[0019] Step 7: Then control the turntable, rocker arm and rotating guide rail to move to corresponding positions respectively;

[0020] Step 8: The pulse light source system emits energy, and the temperature detection device detects and transmits the temperature rise information to the computing system;

[0021] Step 9: The computing system performs data analysis to obtain the thermal conductivity.

[0023] Furthermore, the signal not obtained from the CT detector in step 5 needs to be detected again by the CT detector.

[0024] Furthermore, in step 6, the computing system optimizes and calculates the best incident position of the light source of the pulse light source system and the best detection position of the temperature detection device through a genetic algorithm.
