Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new material detection, and particularly relates to a capillary anti-blocking self-cleaning high-viscosity lubricating oil kinematic viscosity testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Kinematic viscosity is a core index for measuring the rheological property of lubricating oil, and is crucial for new material research and development and industrial application. At present, a kinematic viscosity tester based on a glass capillary is generally used for measurement at home and abroad. Although this method is a standard method, it has obvious limitations in processing high-viscosity and easily-residual lubricating oil samples. After the completion of the test, the inner wall of the capillary is prone to adhere to high-viscosity oil samples. If the capillary is not thoroughly cleaned, the inner diameter of the capillary will change or even be blocked, which seriously affects the accuracy of subsequent measurement. The existing cleaning methods mostly rely on manual repeated flushing with organic solvents, which is not only tedious and inefficient, but also has problems such as incomplete cleaning, solvent pollution and health risks to personnel.

[0003] The automation improvement in the prior art is mostly focused on the automation of the measurement process, such as automatic sampling and timing, but it cannot effectively solve the fundamental problem of capillary blockage caused by high-viscosity lubricating oil. Although some devices have a simple reverse flushing function, the cleaning intensity is insufficient, and cannot generate turbulent flow strength sufficient to peel off stubborn residual oil samples. In addition, the sample preheating is not sufficient, which causes a temperature difference between the oil sample entering the measurement unit and the constant temperature bath, which is also an important factor that introduces measurement errors. Therefore, it is a technical bottleneck to be solved in the field to develop a high-viscosity lubricating oil kinematic viscosity testing device that can automatically and thoroughly clean the capillary and ensure uniformity of the sample temperature.

[0037] Example two

[0038] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , this embodiment further describes the structure and working principle of the pumping assembly based on the embodiment one.

[0039] The pumping assembly further comprises a compression spring 30 fixedly arranged between the bottom of the piston plate 28 and the inner wall of the shell 27; the compression spring 30 is compressed when the piston plate 28 descends, and releases energy under certain conditions to drive the piston plate 28 to rebound quickly, thereby generating a strong suction force; the bottom of the piston plate 28 is further provided with a connecting block 32, and the inside of the connecting block 32 is provided with a transverse movable groove 33 and a longitudinal movable groove 34.

[0040] The inside of the transverse movable groove 33 is slidably connected with a pressing block 36 on both sides, and a small spring 35 is arranged between the pressing block 36 and the inner wall of the transverse movable groove 33; the small spring 35 is used to push the pressing block 36 inward; the inside of the longitudinal movable groove 34 is slidably connected with a limiting block 38, and the bottom of the limiting block 38 is provided with a movable rod 39, and the other end of the movable rod 39 penetrates through the bottom of the shell 27 and is fixedly connected with the second telescopic air cylinder 42.

[0041] The cross-sectional shape of the extrusion block 36 is a right trapezoid with the opposite faces inclined and the upper part smaller than the lower part, and the cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 38 is an isosceles trapezoid with the upper part larger than the lower part; so that when the limiting block 38 is reset by moving downward, it can push the extrusion block 36 outward through the inclined face, and return to the lower part of the extrusion block 36.

[0042] The bottom inner wall of the shell 27 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 40, and the end of the connecting rod 40 is fixedly connected with a guide column 41; the top and bottom of the extrusion block 36 are provided with extrusion grooves 37; in the normal state, the upper part of the limiting block 38 is in contact with the lower part of the two groups of extrusion blocks 36, at this time the extrusion blocks 36 are pushed upward by the limiting block 38, so as to push the piston plate 28.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] Phase one: slow sampling and synchronous heating: in the initial state, the second telescopic cylinder 42 starts to work, and its output end pushes the limiting block 38 upward through the movable rod 39; the upper part of the limiting block 38 is in contact with the lower part of the extrusion block 36, and due to the special trapezoidal structure of the limiting block 38 and the extrusion block 36, the limiting block 38 will push the extrusion block 36 in the rising process, so that the connecting block 32 and the piston plate 28 slowly move upward; the slow upward movement of the piston plate 28 stably pushes the lubricating oil in the liquid storage cavity 29 into the spiral heat conducting pipe 13 through the connecting pipe 26; when the lubricating oil flows through the spiral heat conducting pipe 13, it can efficiently absorb heat from the water bath cylinder 2 due to the huge surface area of the spiral heat conducting pipe 13, so as to realize uniform and rapid preheating, reduce the viscosity, and facilitate subsequent measurement; the preheated lubricating oil enters the bottom of the viscometer through the inlet and outlet pipe 12, and slowly fills the main liquid storage ball 10 and other parts.

[0045] Phase two: constant temperature measurement and automatic timing: when the sample is filled, the first telescopic cylinder 25 works to press down the plunger pump 24 and seal the top end of the measuring tube 3; then, the plunger pump 24 works to generate negative pressure in the measuring tube 3; at this time, the one-way valve 14 at the top end of the vent pipe 4 is automatically closed due to the negative pressure, so as to ensure the negative pressure environment in the measuring tube 3; under the action of negative pressure, the oil sample at the bottom of the viscometer is sucked up, mainly flowing upward through the capillary tube 8, entering the measuring ball 7 and the upper liquid storage ball 6 in turn, and then the first telescopic cylinder 25 drives the plunger pump 24 to reset, the one-way valve is opened, the oil sample below the capillary tube 8 is vented, the oil sample in the measuring tube 3 flows under the action of gravity, and the test formally starts; when the oil sample liquid surface passes through the first liquid level sensing timer 22 and the second liquid level sensing timer 23, the system automatically records the flow time, and calculates the kinematic viscosity value according to the preset formula.

[0046] Stage three: after the measurement is completed, the system automatically enters the cleaning mode; the second telescopic cylinder 42 continues to extend, further pushing the movable rod 39 and the limiting block 38 to move upwards; when the limiting block 38 pushes the extrusion block 36 to the bottom, the guide column 41 passes through the guide effect of the extrusion groove 37, so that the two groups of extrusion blocks 36 overcome the elastic force of the small spring 35 and are away from each other, thereby being separated from the limiting block 38 and releasing the locking of the piston plate 28; the compressed compression spring 30 rapidly releases the energy, pulls the piston plate 28 to quickly descend, at the same time, the air below the piston plate 28 is compressed, the generated positive pressure gas is pressed into the air inlet 21 of the valve assembly, the positive pressure overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 20, pushes the sliding block 19 and the valve plate 17 to move, so that the valve plate 17 moves to the middle of the channel 16, thereby simultaneously closing the vent pipe 4 and the air inlet pipe 5; at this time, a closed system is formed in the entire viscometer; the rapid descent of the piston plate 28 generates a strong suction force in the liquid storage cavity 29; this strong negative pressure is transmitted to the bottom of the viscometer through the connecting pipe 26, the spiral heat conducting pipe 13 and the liquid inlet and outlet pipe 12, rapidly extracts the waste liquid in the viscometer, and forms a high-speed turbulent flow in the capillary tube 8, which can effectively flush away the residual oil sample on the pipe wall, realize rapid and thorough cleaning of the capillary tube 8, and effectively prevent blockage. In this process, cleaning liquid can be injected from the top of the measuring pipe 3, and the strong negative pressure suction process is matched to realize thorough cleaning of the entire pipeline and the capillary tube.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the lower two sides of the inside of the shell 27 are provided with exhaust holes 31 communicating with the outside, so as to avoid that the piston plate 28 in the shell 27 cannot move, ensure that the air pressure under the piston plate 28 can be discharged in time when the piston plate 28 moves, and at the same time ensure that the inside is still in a positive pressure state, so as to ensure smooth movement of the piston plate 28 and closure of the valve assembly.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the outside of the shell 27 is connected with a liquid discharge pipe 44 and a liquid inlet pipe 45, and the liquid discharge pipe 44 and the liquid inlet pipe 45 are respectively provided with on-off valves; the liquid discharge pipe 44 is used for discharging waste liquid or cleaning liquid in the liquid storage cavity 29, and the liquid inlet pipe 45 is used for supplementing new sample or cleaning liquid to be measured, and the on-off valves can conveniently control the inlet and outlet of the liquid.

[0049] The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the content in the above description, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present application, and these modifications and changes should all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
