Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0011] See also Figures 1 to 7 , the present invention discloses a device for detecting the quality of oil blending by using a capillary method; It includes a platform 1, a capillary rack and a capillary group 3. The bottom of the platform 1 is provided with a support leg 4. The upper surface of the platform 1 is provided with a level 5, which is used in conjunction with the support leg 4 to keep the platform 1 in a horizontal state. The platform 1 includes an overflow trough 6 and an analysis liquid trough group 7 opened on the upper surface, wherein the analysis liquid trough group 7 is inside the overflow trough 6, and guide grooves 20 are opened on both sides of the analysis liquid trough group 7. The capillary rack is arranged on the upper surface of the platform 1, and the capillary group 3 is arranged inside the capillary rack 2, and a cleaning component for cleaning the capillary group 3 is provided on the surface of the capillary rack.
[0012] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two levels 5, which are arranged at different positions. By cooperating with the support feet 4, the platform 1 is kept in a horizontal state to maintain the accuracy of detection.
[0013] A rubber ring 8 is provided at the portion where the capillary rack contacts the outer wall of the capillary group 3, which can maintain the stability of the capillary group 3 when in use. A side plate 9 is fixedly connected to the back of the capillary rack, and a mixing cylinder 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the side plate 9. A stirring assembly is provided inside the mixing cylinder 10, and a feed cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mixing cylinder 10. Oil can be injected into the interior of the liquid storage chamber 1 22, the liquid storage chamber 23 and the liquid storage chamber 3 24 through the feed cylinder 11. Among them, the interior of the liquid storage chamber 1 22 stores the oil to be tested, the interior of the liquid storage chamber 23 stores the standard oil, and the interior of the liquid storage chamber 3 24 stores oils with different ratios.
[0014] A slide is provided on the back of the side plate 9, and a protrusion is provided at the portion where the mixing cylinder 10 is connected to the side plate 9, wherein the protrusion is slidably connected to the inside of the slide. The purpose of such a setting is to facilitate adjustment of its use position and to facilitate disassembly.
[0015] Capillary method; The capillary method uses the principle of capillary phenomenon, that is, the phenomenon that liquid rises or falls in a capillary tube due to the effect of surface tension. This method has a simple device and is easy to operate, so it is widely used in laboratories and industrial production. Through this method, the surface tension of various liquids can be measured, which is of great significance for understanding liquid properties, controlling product quality, and developing new products. When we use the capillary rise method to measure the surface tension of liquids, its basic principle is as follows; When a capillary tube is carefully inserted into a liquid, the liquid will be adsorbed and rise inside the tube. When the liquid rises to a certain height, the pressure of the liquid inside and outside the capillary tube is balanced, and the liquid will no longer continue to rise. This equilibrium state reveals the role of surface tension, that is, the upward pull of the liquid on itself is balanced with the downward pressure generated by the liquid's own weight.
[0016] The calculation formula of surface tension is: Surface tension (γ) can be calculated using the following formula: γ = ρ * g * h * r / (2 * cosθ), where γ represents the surface tension, r is the radius of the capillary, ρ is the density of the measured liquid, g is the local gravitational acceleration, and θ is the contact angle between the liquid and the tube wall.
[0017] The above formula shows the relationship between surface tension and these physical quantities. Liquids with different components have different surface tensions, which is reflected in the capillary as the difference in the height h of the liquid rising in the capillary. This difference can be used to determine whether the quality of the oil blending meets the requirements and whether the quality of the oil blending has changed.
[0018] The present application also discloses a method for detecting the quality of oil blending by a capillary method, comprising the following steps; S1. Prepare standard oil A in the laboratory, mix thoroughly, add it into the No. 5 tank in the analysis tank group 7, and use a dropper to fill it up so that it overflows from the guide tank 20; S2. Prepare standard oils A-3, A-2, A-1, A+1, A+2, A+3, etc., with decreasing or increasing gradients, and different concentrations of standard oils. After fully mixing, add them into the No. 1-3 tanks and No. 7-9 tanks in the analysis tank group 7 according to the concentration from low to high, and fill them up with a dropper to overflow from the guide tank 20; S3, add the oil B to be tested into the No. 4 and No. 6 tanks in the analysis tank group 7, and fill them up with a dropper to overflow from the guide tank 20, wherein in steps 1-3, the overflowed oil is collected by the overflow tank 6 to reduce the pollution to the platform 1; S4. Compare the heights of the liquid levels in the No. 4 and No. 6 capillary groups with the heights of the liquid levels in the other capillary groups to determine the concentration of the tested blended oil B.

The guide pipe 16 arranged at the bottom can transport the evenly mixed oil to the inside of the designated analysis liquid tank group 7, and the control valve 17 is used to control the opening and closing of the guide pipe 16.

When water flows into the water inlet pipe 33, it is discharged from the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 27. The bottom of the cleaning cylinder 27 is cross-hollowed, and the cleaned sewage is discharged from the bottom of the support plate 26. After the capillary tube set 3 is used, the outer wall and the inner wall at the bottom thereof will be stained with oil film and need to be disassembled and cleaned.
