Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pressure resistance detection sensors, and in particular to a mechanical tester for stretched breathable membranes. Background Art
[0002] Membrane mechanical testers are widely used in the medical, environmental, and industrial fields. Their core pressure sensors typically consist of a pressure-sensitive element (such as a piezoresistive, piezoelectric, or capacitive element), a signal processing unit, a support and sealing structure, an electrical interface, and a protective housing. The pressure-sensitive element converts external pressure into an electrical signal through its physical properties (such as changes in resistance or capacitance). The signal processing unit amplifies, filters, and conditions the raw electrical signal to improve measurement accuracy and output a standardized signal. The support and sealing structure ensures the mechanical stability of the sensitive element and isolates it from environmental interference, while the housing and interface provide physical protection and system connectivity.
[0003] However, the tester in the prior art has the following defects:
[0004] 1. Traditional pressure sensors are often limited to a single working condition (such as a room temperature dry environment) during pressure resistance testing and lack the ability to simulate complex working conditions such as steam environments. This results in a disconnect between the test results and actual application scenarios, and the measurement accuracy needs to be improved.
[0005] 2. The pressure resistance of the breathable membrane is directly affected by environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity. However, the existing device does not integrate the simultaneous temperature and humidity monitoring function, and it is impossible to establish a pressure-temperature and humidity correlation model, which restricts the comprehensiveness of performance evaluation.

[0066] Example
[0067] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, a mechanical tester for a stretched breathable membrane is provided as follows:
[0068] Combine Figures 1-13 As shown, the invention provides a post-stretching breathable membrane mechanical tester, including a mechanical sensor 1100, which includes a main body 110, a circuit board 160, a packaging cover 120, an air guide 140, a temperature detection cap 200 and a humidity detection cap 300; the bottom end of the main body 110 is an open structure, the internal top of the main body 110 is provided with a fixing ring 111, the bottom of the fixing ring 111 is a mounting cavity, the interior of the mounting cavity is fitted with a pressure core column 130, the bottom surface of the pressure core column 130 is a force-bearing surface, the interior of the pressure core column 130 is provided with four mounting screw holes 131 distributed in an annular array, and a fixing hole 112 is provided at a position opposite to the fixing ring 111 and the mounting screw hole 131; the input end of the circuit board 160 is connected to the pressure core column 130 through a wire, the circuit board 160 is placed in the packaging cover 120, and the packaging cover 120 covers the main body 110; two groups of mounting screw holes 131 located on the same midline are fixed to the two groups of fixing holes 112 by screws;
[0069] The air guide 140 extends upward through the other two sets of mounting screw holes 131 and the fixing hole 112. The top and bottom ends of the air guide 140 are provided with through-hole structures. The bottom of the air guide 140 contacts the force-bearing surface. The bottom of the air guide 140 is assembled and connected to the pressure probe 170. The air guide 140 is used to apply force to the force-bearing surface of the pressure core column 130 and introduce ambient gas.
[0070] The temperature detection cap 200 is mounted on a top end of the air guide 140 and stops at the top surface of the fixing ring 111. The temperature detection cap 200 is connected to the circuit board 160 via a wire. The temperature detection cap 200 is used to stop and position one end of the air guide 140 and detect the ambient gas temperature.
[0071] The humidity detection cap 300 is mounted on the other top end of the air guide 140 and stops at the top surface of the fixing ring 111. It is connected to the circuit board 160 via a wire. The temperature detection cap 200 is used to stop and position the other end of the air guide 140 and detect the humidity of the ambient gas.
[0072] The detection body 400 includes a base plate 410, a lifting assembly 420, and an environmental simulation chamber 500. The lifting assembly 420 is vertically mounted on one side of the base plate 410. The outer wall of the lifting assembly 420 is mounted with a vertically arranged force sensor 1100. The environmental simulation chamber 500 is slidably mounted on the surface of the base plate 410.
[0073] The display host 600 is connected to the circuit board 160 via wires.
[0074] In the above scheme:
[0075] 1. The provision of the air guide 140 can achieve the following effects:
[0076] 1.1. When positioning the pressure core column 130, only two sets of screws need to be screwed in, and the other two positioning screw holes can be used as the insertion area of the air guide 140. In this way, the air guide 140 can be positioned and the pressure core column 130 can be assisted in positioning.
[0077] 1.2. The air guide 140 can be used as a screw-on connection structure for the pressure probe 170, making the connection and assembly of the pressure probe 170 easier and the type of the pressure probe 170 can be changed according to the detection needs;
[0078] 1.3. When the pressure probe 170 applies force to the film material 700 to be tested, the air guide 140 can act as a transfer component, so that the pressure is evenly applied to the force-bearing surface of the pressure core column 130, making the force transmission more stable and uniform;
[0079] 1.4. The air guide 140 can be used as an introduction space for detecting ambient gas. In this way, the temperature detection cap 200 can detect the temperature of the introduced gas, and the humidity detection cap 300 can detect the humidity of the introduced gas, thereby determining the temperature and humidity of the test chamber and improving detection accuracy;
[0080] In addition, the temperature detection cap 200 and the humidity detection cap 300 can position the top end of the air guide 140 so that the air guide 140 can only float upward and cannot move downward.
[0081] 2. When the air guide 140 is inserted into the standard cavity, it can detect the temperature and humidity of the standard cavity, which serves as a basis for pressure testing of the membrane material 700 in the standard cavity, making the pressure resistance performance test of the membrane material 700 more accurate. The more accurate pressure test results of the membrane material 700 in the standard cavity also serve as a basis for subsequent steam cavity judgment to determine whether the membrane material 700 in the steam cavity is qualified;
[0082] When the air guide 140 is inserted into the steam chamber, it can detect the humidity of the steam chamber, thereby determining the air permeability of the film material 700 and whether the air permeability of the breathable membrane is qualified. When the air guide 140 is inserted, the pressure probe 170 can also measure the puncture strength of the current temperature and humidity, making the puncture strength test result more accurate. The steam chamber can provide a high temperature and high humidity environment for film material testing.
[0083] The inspection of the standard chamber and the steam chamber is carried out continuously, eliminating the need to conduct multiple inspections in a cycle, making the inspection results more accurate.
[0084] In order to enable the air guide member 140 to achieve the above-mentioned multiple effects, the following solution is provided: In this embodiment, the air guide member 140 includes a first air guide tube 141, a second air guide tube 142, and a stop frame 143; the first air guide tube 141 is perpendicularly installed at one end of the stop frame 143, and the second air guide tube 142 is perpendicularly installed at the other end. The first air guide tube 141, the second air guide tube 142, and the stop frame 143 are U-shaped, and the stop frame 143 stops and contacts the force-bearing surface;
[0085] The top ends of the first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 are both provided with threaded structures. When the air guide member 140 is inserted, the threaded sections of the first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 are both placed above the fixing ring 111 .
[0086] In the above scheme: the air guide part 140 is designed to be U-shaped. This shape is adapted to the insertion needs of the two positioning screw holes of the pressure core column 130. At the same time, when the stop frame 143 is in contact with the force-bearing surface, the first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 can be inserted into place, making the insertion easier; the top ends of the first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 are reserved with threads to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the temperature detection cap 200 and the humidity detection cap 300.
[0087] In this embodiment, the stop frame 143 includes a circular pressure plate 144, a side bracket 145 and an assembly seat 146. The circular pressure plate 144 is concentrically fitted in the middle of the force-bearing surface. Side brackets 145 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the circular pressure plate 144. The outer ends of the two groups of side brackets 145 are respectively connected to the first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142. An assembly seat 146 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the circular pressure plate 144; a pressure probe 170 is screwed onto the bottom of the assembly seat 146.
[0088] In the above solution, the main part of the stop frame 143 is designed to be a circular pressure plate 144. In this way, the circular pressure plate 144 applies force to the pressure core column 130 more evenly, and the assembly seat 146 is a rotary connection structure.
[0089] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the main body 110 is vertically slidably sleeved with a docking tube 150, the outer wall of the main body 110 is symmetrically provided with a first vertical slot 113, the packaging cover 120 is provided with a second vertical slot 124 at a position relative to the first vertical slot 113, and the inner wall of the docking tube 150 is provided with a slider 151; when not testing, the docking tube 150 is placed outside the pressure probe 170 to enclose and protect the pressure probe 170; when testing, the docking tube 150 is docked to the environmental simulation box 500 to avoid gas leakage and allow the pressure probe 170 to extend for testing.
[0090] In the above scheme:
[0091] 1. The butt joint 150 can protect the pressure probe 170 when not in use, thereby preventing the pressure probe 170 from being damaged and preventing outsiders from accidentally touching the pressure probe 170.
[0092] 2. When docking with the steam chamber of the environmental simulation box 500, in order to ensure that the air guide 140 and the pressure probe 170 can be introduced, the steam chamber of the environmental simulation box 500 needs to be opened, so that the steam volume will be discharged, affecting the subsequent detection results. The docking tube 150 is provided to pre-enclose the open through hole to prevent the steam from overflowing, and then the air guide 140 is inserted.
[0093] In this embodiment, the temperature detection cap 200 includes a first cap body 210, which is screwed onto the top of the first air duct 141 and fits against the top surface of the fixing ring 111. A first partition plate 220 is provided at the top of the interior of the first cap body 210. The bottom of the first partition plate 220 is a detection cavity. A temperature probe 230 is installed inside the detection cavity. The interior of the first partition plate 220 is provided with first air guide holes 221 distributed in an annular array. A first blocking fan 240 is rotatably installed on the top surface of the first partition plate 220. A first motor 241 for driving the first blocking fan 240 to rotate is installed on the top of the first partition plate 220. A first impeller 250 is installed at the top of the first cap body 210.
[0094] When the tester is testing, the first blocking fan 240 blocks the first air guide hole 221; when the tester is not testing, the first blocking fan 240 rotates and staggers to expose the first air guide hole 221, and the first fan impeller 250 blows out the gas in the test chamber downward to reset the parameters of the temperature probe 230.
[0095] In the above scheme:
[0096] During positioning, the first cap body 210 can be screwed onto the top threaded section of the first air guide tube 141;
[0097] The structural design of the temperature detection cap 200, through the cooperation of the first blocking fan 240, the first motor 241, and the first impeller 250, closes the air guide hole during testing to ensure detection accuracy. When not testing, the air guide hole is exposed to exhaust the gas in the detection chamber, resetting the parameters of the temperature probe 230. This prevents residual gas from interfering with the temperature probe 230, ensures that the temperature probe 230 is in an accurate initial state before each test, improves the accuracy and reliability of temperature detection, and reduces detection errors.
[0098] In this embodiment, the humidity detection cap 300 includes a second cap body 310, which is screwed onto the top of the second air duct 142 and abuts against the top surface of the fixing ring 111. A second partition plate 320 is provided at the top of the second cap body 310. The bottom of the second partition plate 320 forms a detection cavity, and a humidity probe 330 is installed inside the detection cavity.
[0099] The second partition plate 320 has second air guide holes 321 arranged in an annular array. A second blocking fan 340 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the second partition plate 320. A second motor 341 is mounted on the top of the second partition plate 320 to drive the second blocking fan 340 to rotate. The top of the second partition plate 320 is filled with moisture-absorbing particles 360. The top of the second cap body 310 is mounted with a first impeller 250.
[0100] When the tester is testing, the second blocking fan 340 blocks the second air guide hole 321; when the tester is not testing, the second blocking fan 340 rotates and staggers to expose the second air guide hole 321, and the first fan impeller 250 extracts the gas in the test chamber to reset the parameters of the humidity probe 330.
[0101] In the above scheme:
[0102] When positioning, screw the second cap onto the top threaded section of the second air guide tube 142;
[0103] The structure of the humidity detection cap 300 is similar to that of the temperature detection cap 200. Through the coordinated action of the second sealing fan 340, the second motor 341, the first fan impeller 250 and the hygroscopic particles 360, the functions of closing the air guide holes during detection, discharging the gas in the detection cavity when not detecting, and resetting the parameters of the humidity probe 330 are achieved; preventing residual gas from affecting the humidity detection results, ensuring the accuracy of the humidity probe 330 detection, and at the same time, the hygroscopic particles 360 can absorb residual moisture to prevent moisture from affecting the operation of the circuit board 160.
[0104] In this embodiment, a locking hole 161 is defined inside the circuit board 160 , a locking ring 121 is defined on the inner wall of the packaging cover 120 , and a locking post 122 is symmetrically defined on the bottom surface of the locking ring 121 . The locking post 122 is inserted into the locking hole 161 .
[0105] In the above scheme: the circuit board 160 and the packaging cover 120 are connected through the card hole 161, the clamping ring 121 and the clamping column 122, so that the installation of the circuit board 160 is more stable, easy to disassemble and repair, and ensure that the circuit board 160 is accurately positioned in the packaging cover 120 to prevent line connection problems caused by shaking.
[0106] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 420 includes a back plate 421, a vertical groove is provided inside the back plate 421, a vertically arranged first screw 422 is installed inside the vertical groove, a vertical adjustment block 423 is slidably installed inside the vertical groove and is threadedly mounted on the first screw 422, a slot 424 is provided on the outer side of the vertical adjustment block 423, and an insert block 123 is provided on the back side of the packaging cover 120, the insert block 123 is inserted into the slot 424 and the two are positioned by bolts.
[0107] In the above solution, the lifting assembly 420, through its structure including a back plate 421, a vertical slot, a first screw 422, and a vertical adjustment block 423, allows for flexible adjustment of the vertical position of the force sensor 1100. This feature enables the tester to adapt to the testing needs of stretched breathable membranes of varying specifications and placement heights.
[0108] In this embodiment, the environmental simulation box 500 includes a main box body, a horizontal adjustment block 440 is provided on the bottom surface of the main box body, a horizontal groove is opened on the surface of the bottom plate 410, a second screw 430 is installed inside the horizontal groove, and the horizontal adjustment block 440 is slidably embedded in the horizontal groove and threadedly mounted on the second screw 430; two test chambers are provided inside the main box body, and the two test chambers are respectively a standard chamber and a steam chamber.
[0109] The main box body includes an upper box body 510 and a lower box body 520. The upper box body 510 is buckled on the top of the lower box body 520. Two sets of operation ports 511 are opened on the surface of the upper box body 510. A first upper pressure cover 530 and a second upper pressure cover 590 are respectively provided on the inner top surface of the upper box body 510 at positions opposite to the operation ports 511. The inner tops of the first upper pressure cover 530 and the second upper pressure cover are both installed with blocking components.
[0110] A first and second pressure covers 540 and 550 are installed inside the lower box 520. The first and second pressure covers 540 and 550 are arranged on the surface of the floating plate 580. Both ends of the floating plate 580 are slidably placed in the lower box 520, and a third screw 581 is installed at the sliding connection.
[0111] When the main box is being tested, the upper box 510 and the lower box 520 cover both sides of a sample film material 700, the first upper pressure cover and the first lower pressure cover 540 are clamped in an area of the film material 700 to form a standard cavity, and the second upper pressure cover and the second lower pressure cover 550 are clamped in another area of the film material 700 to form a steam cavity, and a steam nozzle 570 is installed inside the second lower pressure cover 550.
[0112] In the above scheme, the environmental simulation chamber 500, through the cooperation of the upper and lower chambers 510 and 520, as well as the first and second downward pressure covers 540 and 550, simultaneously forms a standard chamber and a vapor chamber on a sample membrane 700, enabling comparative testing under different environments. This design not only reduces the number of samples required and testing costs, but also enables rapid acquisition of test data under different environments on the same membrane 700, improving testing efficiency. By comparing and analyzing the pressure resistance differences of the breathable membrane under standard and vapor environments, the overall performance of the breathable membrane can be more comprehensively evaluated.
[0113] The upper and lower pressure covers can form a sealed detection chamber for easy detection;
[0114] The floating plate 580 can drive the first downward pressure cover 540 and the second downward pressure cover 550 to be lifted up, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0115] The design of the blocking component needs to be retracted into the upper pressure cover without affecting the insertion of the pressure probe 170. In order to solve the above problem, the following solution is given:
[0116] In this embodiment, the sealing assembly includes two groups of sealing plates 560, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the operating port 511. The sealing plates 560 are semicircular, and the outer ends of the top surfaces of the sealing plates 560 are slidably installed on the inner top surface of the upper box body 510. The outer ends of the bottom surfaces of the sealing plates 560 are connected to the driving rod 561. The driving rod 561 is arranged horizontally and the outer ends are vertically fixedly connected to the first upper pressure cover 530 or the second upper pressure cover.
[0117] In the above scheme: the sealing component is connected to the first upper pressure cover 530 or the second upper pressure cover through two sets of sealing plates 560, the driving rod 561, and effectively blocks the operating port 511 when testing the film material 700, thereby ensuring the sealing of the standard cavity and the steam cavity. Good sealing can maintain the stability of the pressure and gas environment in the standard cavity and the steam cavity, and prevent changes in the detection environment due to gas leakage, thereby affecting the accuracy of the detection results. During the puncture test, the driving rod 561 drives the sealing plate 560 to retract to expose the insertion gap. The sealing plate 560 is slidably placed on the top surface of the upper box body 510, which can make the translation of the sealing plate 560 more stable and smooth.

The first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 extend into the first upper pressure cover 530. The first air guide tube 141 and the second air guide tube 142 collect the gas in the first upper pressure cover 530. The pressure probe 170 punctures the film material 700 and transmits the force to the force-bearing surface of the pressure core column 130.

The temperature probe 230 in the temperature detection cap 200 detects the gas temperature, and the humidity probe 330 in the humidity detection cap 300 detects the gas humidity. The detection data is also transmitted to the circuit board 160 and the display host 600.
