By rotating the scraper 9, you can further choose to simulate a more complex combustion environment. It needs to be explained that this solution may have sealing problems due to the need for rotation. Existing technologies can be used to improve the sealing effect, such as through a tortuous gap maze channel between the rotating part and the fixed part, using the gas throttling effect to reduce leakage, and metal gaskets. In addition, in order to prevent parts from deforming at high temperature, materials such as high-temperature alloys are used, and the mechanical parts of this solution do not bear too much torque.

The scraper 2 12 rotates on the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11, and can peel off the debris attached to the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11. When the scraper 2 12 is not needed, the scraper 2 12 can be rotated and erected. A limiting hole 14 is opened inside the scraper 19, and the relative positions of the scraper 19 and the scraper 2 12 can be fixed by the cooperation of the limiting pin 13 and the limiting hole 14.

[0031] Please see the attached Figure 5 A screw rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11 , and a sample holder 16 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw rod 15 .

[0032] Specifically, a screw rod 15 is provided on the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11 , and the screw rod 15 is threadedly connected to the sample holder 16 . The screw rod 15 is fixed, and when the sample holder 16 is rotated, the height of the sample holder 16 can be adjusted, thereby changing the position of the sample.

Multiple groups of spiral guide vanes 20 can be provided, and multiple groups of spiral guide vanes 20 can be provided in reverse. An outlet is opened inside the partition 21. The gas is mixed by the spiral guide vanes 20 and discharged from the outlet of the partition 21, and then discharged upward from the porous sieve plate 11.

The gas flow meter 25 is closer to the lower shell 2 than the solenoid valve 24 .

[0038] Specifically, an air intake pipe 1 22 and an air intake pipe 2 23 are provided inside the lower shell 2. The air intake pipe 1 22 and the air intake pipe 2 23 respectively introduce oxygen and nitrogen, and dynamically adjust the input ratio of oxygen and nitrogen through the gas flow meter 25 and the solenoid valve 24. The solenoid valve 24 controls the flow rate range from conventional to high speed.

[0039] Please see the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 7 An electric push rod 31 is provided on the upper surface of the top cover 4, and the output end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to a sliding frame 32, and the sliding frame 32 is fixedly connected to an insulation tube 33. The outer wall of the insulation tube 33 passes through the top cover 4 and is slidably connected to the top cover 4. An igniter 34 is provided on the bottom surface of the insulation tube 33.

[0040] Specifically, when the sample needs to be ignited, the electric push rod 31 can be started first to drive the sliding frame 32 at the output end to slide, and the sliding frame 32 drives the insulation tube 33 to slide. The insulation tube 33 expands and contracts inside the upper shell 3, thereby driving the igniter 34 close to the sample. The insulation tube 33 is hollow inside, and an electric wire can be introduced to ensure that the igniter 34 ignites normally.

[0041] Please see the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 7 , Attachment Figure 8 A thermometer 26 is provided inside the outer shell 1, and the thermometer 26 is fitted with the upper shell 3. A bracket 28 is provided on the outer wall of the upper shell 3, and an infrared thermal imaging camera 29 is installed on the bracket 28. A photosensor 27 is installed on the upper shell 3, and a gas concentration probe 35 is installed inside the lower shell 2. The gas concentration probe 35 is located between the porous sieve plate 11 and the partition 21.

[0042] Specifically, the thermometer 26 is attached to the upper shell 3 to detect the temperature of the upper shell 3. Multiple groups of photosensors 27 can be set at different heights. The infrared thermal imaging camera 29 and the photosensor 27 synchronously record the combustion behavior. The gas concentration probe 35 provides real-time feedback on the oxygen consumption.

[0043] It also includes a control system, which includes a PLC controller and a host computer. The host computer software is based on a human-computer interaction interface developed in Python.

[0044] Specifically, the PLC controller triggers the ignition device to ignite the sample, and the PLC controller uploads the sensor data to the host computer. The software automatically calculates the oxygen index, determines the flame retardant level of the material, and generates a standardized report containing information such as the combustion curve and critical oxygen concentration.

[0045] In this embodiment, a device for performing oxygen index testing under high gas flow conditions is described. First, the operator assembles the lower shell 2 and upper shell 3, inserts the upper shell 3 into the outer sleeve 10 of the lower shell 2, and uses the sealing gasket inside the sleeve 10 to achieve a good seal to prevent gas leakage during the test. The sample is then installed. The porous sieve plate 11 is installed inside the lower shell 2. The screw rod 15 fixed to its upper surface is threadedly connected to the sample holder 16. By rotating the sample holder 16, its height can be flexibly adjusted to meet the testing requirements of different samples. The sample is placed on the C-shaped frame 17 inside the sample holder 16. The threaded rod 18 is rotated, driving the clamping block 19 to cooperate with the C-shaped frame 17 to firmly secure the sample, fully preparing for the subsequent oxygen index test. After the sample is installed, the gas supply system is activated. Inlet pipes 1 22 and 23, which run through the interior of the lower shell 2, introduce oxygen and nitrogen, respectively. The gas flowmeter 25 and solenoid valve 24 connected to the inlet pipes dynamically adjust the oxygen and nitrogen input ratio to ensure the required gas environment for the test. After the gas enters the lower shell 2, it is fully mixed by the spiral guide vane 20 in the static mixing chamber formed by the inner bottom wall of the lower shell 2 and the partition 21. It is then discharged from the outlet of the partition 21 and evenly discharged upward through the porous sieve plate 11. At this time, the electric push rod 31 installed on the upper surface of the top cover 4 is activated. Its output end drives the sliding frame 32 to move, thereby causing the insulation tube 33 to slide on the top cover 4. The hollow interior of the insulation tube 33 allows for the introduction of electrical wires to ensure the normal operation of the igniter 34. When it is necessary to ignite the sample, the electric push rod 31 drives the igniter 34 close to the sample for ignition, officially starting the oxygen index test. The starting motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate, and the gear 7 drives the gear ring 8 to rotate inside the upper shell 3, thereby causing the scraper 1 9 to rotate inside the upper shell 3. The scraper 2 12 connected to the outer wall of the scraper 1 9 can be fitted with the porous sieve plate 11 when needed. The rotation of the scraper 1 9 drives the scraper 2 12 to rotate on the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11, peeling off the debris attached to the upper surface of the porous sieve plate 11 to avoid clogging. During combustion, a more complex combustion environment can be simulated. During the test, the thermometer 26 set inside the outer shell 1 is fitted with the upper shell 3 to detect its temperature; the infrared thermal imaging camera 29 installed on the bracket 2 28 on the outer wall of the upper shell 3 records the combustion image in real time; multiple groups of light-sensitive sensors 27 at different heights installed on the upper shell 3 synchronously record the combustion behavior; the gas concentration probe 35 installed between the porous sieve plate 11 and the partition 21 inside the lower shell 2 provides real-time feedback on oxygen consumption, providing an accurate basis for subsequent data processing; The collected data is transmitted to a control system consisting of a PLC controller and a host computer. The host computer software uses a human-computer interface developed in Python. After the PLC controller triggers the ignition device to ignite the sample, the sensor data is uploaded to the host computer. The software automatically processes the collected data, calculates the oxygen index, determines the material's flame retardancy level, and generates a standardized report containing information such as the combustion curve and critical oxygen concentration, providing a scientific basis for evaluating the material's flame retardancy. During the test, if dust adheres to the inner wall of the upper shell 3 and affects the line of sight, the motor 6 can be started to drive the scraper 9 to rotate for daily cleaning. When the device needs to be thoroughly cleaned, the upper shell 3 is removed upwards and the inside of the device is thoroughly cleaned to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent tests of the device.

[0046] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
