Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of testing the thermal performance of down products, and particularly relates to a method for determining the optimal down filling density of down. BACKGROUND

[0002] The conventional method for testing the thermal performance of down filling is to find the critical point of optimal thermal performance by changing the down filling amount while fixing the area of the sample, but this method does not take into account the volume change caused by the change in the height of the down package, and therefore cannot accurately determine the critical point of optimal thermal performance of down. The specific reasons are as follows:

[0003] The conventional method for testing the thermal performance of down requires the preparation of multiple independent down packages with different down filling amounts, and the measurement of the thermal resistance value Rct. However, this method has two major defects:

[0004] Variable coupling: when the down filling amount M is changed, the volume V of the down package changes synchronously, which makes it impossible to independently control the down filling density ρ=M / V, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the change in thermal resistance is caused by the down filling amount or the volume.

[0005] Masking the real law: the thermal performance of down actually depends on the thickness of the static air layer, which changes nonlinearly with the density: in the low-density zone, air convection dominates, and the thermal resistance is low; in the medium-density zone, the static air layer is maximized, and the thermal resistance reaches a peak; in the high-density zone, the compression of down leads to an increase in conduction, and the thermal resistance decreases.

[0006] The conventional method cannot reveal this law due to the uncontrollable density, and it is also impossible to locate the optimal density point.

[0007] The down filling amount of a down jacket is currently determined by the down filling coefficient and the area of the required sample, but as the down filling amount changes, the height of the down package also changes, as does the volume of the down package, and it is impossible to determine whether the factor affecting the thermal resistance of the down jacket is the down filling amount or the volume of the down package. SUMMARY

[0008] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a method for determining the optimal down filling density of down, which comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1. A plurality of cylindrical down storage bins are prepared, each of which has a lower surface with the same area and a different height.

[0010] S2. A down sample with a mass of M is filled into the down storage bin.

[0011] S3. The down storage bin is gently disturbed to ensure uniform distribution of the down.

[0012] S4. The down filling density is calculated and recorded.

[0013] S5. The thermal resistance value of the down storage bin is measured.

[0014] S6, repeat S2-S5, measure the thermal resistance value of each storage warehouse.

[0015] S7, draw the thermal resistance value curve with the change of the filling density, and extract the optimal filling density p of the thermal resistance value reaching the peak value gold .

[0016] By setting different volume of storage warehouse, using the same mass of down sample filling, get the same mass of different filling density sample, can accurately determine the critical point of the best thermal performance of down.

[0017] Further, the storage warehouse is a cuboid.

[0018] Further, each storage warehouse has the same size of the lower surface.

[0019] Further, the length of the lower surface of the storage warehouse is taken from 20-50cm, and the width is taken from 20-50cm.

[0020] Further, the height of the storage warehouse is taken from 1-10cm.

[0021] Further, the filling density is taken from 2-8kg / m3.

[0022] Further, the storage warehouse includes a support frame and a cloth warehouse, and the support frame is arranged in the cloth warehouse.

[0023] Further, the down sample is white goose down with a down content of 90%.

[0024] Further, the loft of the down sample is greater than 800.

[0025] Further, in S2, M is taken from 8-15g.

[0026] The application eliminates the coupling effect of the filling amount and the volume, accurately reveals the relationship between the thermal resistance and the filling density, and locates the critical density point corresponding to the best thermal performance of down. gold Once the p of a certain down is determined, the actual production can be guided, and only by determining the filling amount through the cutting area is too single, and the volume of the down bag and the shrinkage amount of the cloth bag during sewing are also needed to be combined, for example, in the case of fixed filling amount, when the cloth bag has a certain amount of shrinkage, and the volume of the down warehouse and the density of the down can reach the optimal filling density.
