TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The closed flash point tester is an instrument for measuring the closed flash point of a sample, which is suitable for flash point detection of petroleum products, solvents, paints, lubricating oils and other industries. It is often tested by a closed container, which simulates the closed environment in actual storage or use. Its core use includes measuring the fire hazard of flammable liquids and guiding safe storage and transportation. Its working principle is mainly based on the principle of equilibrium vaporization. The liquid sample is gradually heated, and the surface vapor and air form a mixed gas. Then the electronic ignition gun introduces the flame periodically. When the concentration of the mixed gas reaches the flammable range, flash combustion occurs, and the corresponding temperature recorded by the instrument is the flash point.
[0003] Currently, at least two measurements are required for flash point detection of a sample. Especially in high-precision demand scenarios, such as high-risk flammable liquids (such as aviation kerosene, solvents), three measurements are often required to take the median value. After each measurement, the test cup needs to be taken out immediately, the remaining sample is poured out, the test cup is cleaned with petroleum ether or anhydrous ethanol, the inner wall and sealing ring are cleaned with a soft brush or cotton swab to avoid the influence of residues on the next test, the test cup is dried (or dried with compressed air) to ensure that there is no moisture. The cleaning process is very troublesome when measuring multiple times, and the test cup just tested and the internal sample temperature are relatively high, carrying more heat.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0032] Example:
[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this invention provides a rapid equilibrium cup closed-cup flash point tester, including a tester body 1, a display screen 2 on one side of the tester body 1, and a lifting device 3 on the other side of the tester body 1. The tester body 1, the display screen 2, and the lifting device 3 are all prior art. A cup lid 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting device 3. A cavity 7 is opened on the tester body 1. A heating sleeve 6 corresponding to the position of the cup lid 4 is installed on the inner wall of the cavity 7. A measuring cup 5 is fitted on the inner wall of the heating sleeve 6. The lifting device 3 drives the cup lid 4 to fall and movably connect to the inner wall of the top of the measuring cup 5. An ignition device 8 is provided on the upper surface of the cup lid 4. A feed pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cup lid 4. A removable sealing plug is provided on the feed pipe 9 to facilitate adding samples to the measuring cup 5 during multiple tests. The cup lid 4 can be moved up and down by the lifting device 3.
[0034] The cup lid 4 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the inside of the measuring cup 5.
[0035] The bottom of the measuring cup 5 is connected to a flow guide mechanism for discharging high-temperature waste liquid and cleaning fluid.
[0036] Firstly, the measuring cup 5 is placed into the heating sleeve 6, and then the cup cover 4 is driven to move downward by the lifting device 3 to form a seal with the top of the measuring cup 5, and then the appropriate amount of sample to be detected is added to the measuring cup 5 through the feeding pipe 9, the measuring cup 5 is heated by the heating sleeve 6, and the ignition device 8 is ignited continuously until the flash point is measured and recorded, and then the measuring waste liquid is guided out through the flow guide mechanism, and the measuring cup 5 is cleaned through the cleaning mechanism after the cleaning process is completed, so that the next detection can be carried out, avoiding the need for manual cleaning of the equipment after each measurement, and the flow guide mechanism can guide the residual high-temperature detection liquid and the high-temperature cleaning liquid in the initial stage out of the heating sleeve 6 for heat preservation treatment, thereby avoiding the problem of heat loss of the heating sleeve 6 during cleaning of the measuring cup 5, and the problem of manual handling of the detection sample, which has a large safety hazard.
[0037] Further, the cleaning mechanism includes a rotating shaft 10 movably connected to the center of the cup cover 4, and a plurality of spray rings 12 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the rotating shaft 10 extending into the measuring cup 5, and a top pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the other end of the rotating shaft 10 located outside the cup cover 4, and a gas pipe 16 and a cleaning pipe 18 are fixedly connected to one end of the top pipe 15, the cleaning pipe 18 is used to introduce cleaning liquid, and the gas pipe 16 is used to introduce gas for blow-drying the inside of the measuring cup 5.
[0038] After one detection is completed, the waste liquid is first discharged through the flow guide mechanism, and then the cleaning liquid is sprayed into the measuring cup 5 through the cleaning pipe 18 along the rotating shaft 10 and the spray ring 12, and the inside wall of the measuring cup 5 is fully cleaned, and then the cleaning waste liquid is discharged through the flow guide mechanism, and then air is introduced through the gas pipe 16 to blow-dry the inside of the measuring cup 5, so as to ensure the accuracy of the sample amount during multiple experiments, and the spray ring 12 is uniformly arranged with a plurality of spray rings 12 along the rotating shaft 10, which can basically cover all positions inside the measuring cup 5.
[0039] Further, one end of the cleaning pipe 18 is fixedly connected with a liquid pump 19, the input end of the liquid pump 19 is in communication with the external cleaning liquid, and the liquid pump 19 is a prior art for controlling the introduction and discharge of the cleaning liquid, which can be pumped into the cleaning pipe 18 and introduced into the rotating shaft 10 through the top pipe 15 to clean the inside of the measuring cup 5;
[0040] One end of the gas pipe 16 is fixedly connected with a gas pump 17, the gas pipe 16 and the cleaning pipe 18 are respectively provided with a valve 20 and a valve 21.
[0041] When the overall cleaning is completed, the liquid pump 19 is closed to stop the delivery of the cleaning liquid, and then the air pump 17 can generate air which is introduced into the inside of the measuring cup 5 through the air pipe 16. A heating device can be arranged at the connection between the air pipe 16 and the air pump 17 to heat the air generated by the air pump 17, so that the effect of air drying the inside can be enhanced.
[0042] Further, the flow guide mechanism comprises a bottom pipe 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the measuring cup 5, and the bottom pipe 22 is fixedly connected with a branch pipe 1 24 and a branch pipe 2 28 at the bottom end.
[0043] Further, the heating sleeve 6 is hollow at one side and abuts against the measuring cup 5 at the other side, so as to heat the measuring cup 5.
[0044] One end of the branch pipe 1 24 is fixedly connected with a liquid pump 2 25, the output end of the liquid pump 2 25 is communicated with the hollow part of the heating sleeve 6 through a return pipe 26, and the branch pipe 1 24 is provided with a valve 3 23.

[0047] The just detected waste liquid and the measuring cup 5 itself have a high temperature. When the cleaning liquid is used to clean the inside of the measuring cup 5 for the first time or for several times, heat exchange will occur between the cleaning liquid and the measuring cup 5, so that the temperature of the waste liquid is high. If the waste liquid is directly discharged and the measuring cup 5 is cleaned, a large amount of energy will be wasted. The waste liquid and the cleaning liquid flowing out of the measuring cup 5 flow out of the bottom pipe 22, and the temperature of the discharged liquid in the bottom pipe 22 is monitored in real time by the temperature detection device. When the temperature detection device detects that the temperature of the discharged liquid is at a high position, the valve 3 23 is opened, the valve 4 27 is closed, and the liquid pump 2 25 is started to pump the high-temperature waste liquid into the hollow part of the heating sleeve 6 through the return pipe 26, so as to preheat and keep warm the heating sleeve 6. In this way, the cleaning time of the measuring cup 5 is long, the high-temperature measuring cup 5 is cooled down quickly, and the problem that a large amount of energy is still consumed to heat the heating sleeve 6 itself is avoided.
[0048] When the temperature detection device detects that the temperature of the discharged liquid is at a low position, it indicates that the heat carried by the cleaning liquid is small. At this time, the valve 3 23 is closed, the liquid pump 3 31 is started, and the valve 4 27 is started to discharge the low-temperature cleaning liquid to the waste liquid barrel through the branch pipe 2 28.
[0049] When the high-temperature waste liquid temporarily stored in the hollow part of the heating sleeve 6 needs to be discharged, the valve five 30 can be opened, the valve four 27 can be closed, and the liquid pump three 31 can be started to extract the high-temperature waste liquid temporarily stored in the hollow part of the heating sleeve 6 to the waste liquid barrel.
[0050] Further, the hollow part of the heating sleeve 6 is fixedly connected with a leading-out pipe 29, the leading-out pipe 29 communicates with the branch pipe two 28, and the valve five 30 is arranged on the leading-out pipe 29.
[0051] Further, the bottom of the measuring cup 5 is conical, facilitating the gathering and flowing of the liquid.
