Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material physical property testing, specifically a device for calibrating the angle of repose of wet particles and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] The angle of repose is a key physical parameter characterizing the flowability and internal friction properties of granular materials (such as sand, powder, and particle groups). Its accurate measurement is crucial for engineering and scientific research scenarios such as silo design, granular material transportation, and screening process optimization. The corresponding angle of repose measuring device is the core tool for obtaining this parameter and is widely used in mining, construction, chemical and other fields.

[0003] Currently, existing methods and corresponding devices for measuring the angle of repose mainly include the fixed funnel method and mechanical lifting devices. The fixed funnel method, which involves freely pouring particles from a funnel of a specific size into a receiving tray to form a conical accumulation, measures the angle. It offers advantages such as ease of operation and low cost, making it suitable for routine testing of small-diameter granular materials in drying. The mechanical lifting device, on the other hand, involves lifting a cylindrical container upwards, allowing particles to naturally accumulate on the bottom support surface. This method is suitable for observing non-impact accumulation scenarios, but the wall effect leads to significant measurement errors. Both methods have obvious limitations: the fixed funnel method is susceptible to particle splashing and irregular accumulation, while the mechanical lifting device is significantly affected by the wall effect (the lifting structure causes friction and adhesion between the container wall and the particles, hindering the free sliding of edge particles, causing the particle accumulation state to deviate from the natural accumulation pattern, thus distorting the measurement results). Therefore, developing an angle of repose measuring device that can mitigate the wall effect and improve measurement accuracy and repeatability is of great significance for optimizing engineering design and improving the reliability of scientific research data.

[0017] Step 1: The drive motor 26 adjusts the slide rail connecting teeth of the first connecting rod gear 25 and the second connecting rod gear 24 to cooperate with the bottom of the second slide rail 22. The bottom of the second slide rail 22 is the lower part of the second slide rail 22 in the abstract diagram. At this time, the rivet-shaped end of the spring positioning pin 23 maintains a certain gap with the second spring fixing platform 21. At this time, the square spring 28 is pressed. The connecting rod buckle 29 moves horizontally under the drive of the second spring fixing platform 21, driving the first separating connecting rod 31, the first three-hole connecting rod 32, the first T-shaped connecting rod 33, the first bearing buckle 34, the second bearing buckle 35, and the half-barrel 37 to move. The middle hole of the first three-hole connecting rod 32 and the three-hole connecting rod fixing 38 can only rotate. Under the action of the connecting rod equipped with the deep groove ball bearing 310, the two half-barrels 37 cooperate to form a cylinder.

[0018] Step 2: Adjust the first bearing latch 34 and the second bearing latch 35 so that the bottom of the cylinder formed by the two half-cylinders 37 fits tightly with the particle accumulation platform 11. Fill the cylinder with the wet particles to be calibrated, with the filling height being about half the height of the cylinder. Drive the motor 26 to adjust the slide rail connecting teeth of the first connecting rod gear 25 and the second connecting rod gear 24 to engage with the top of the second slide rail 22. The bottom of the second slide rail 22 is the upper part of the second slide rail 22 in the abstract diagram. At this time, the rivet-shaped end of the spring positioning pin 23 fits tightly with the second spring fixing platform 21. At this time, the compressed square spring 28 is released, and the connecting rod latch 29 moves horizontally under the drive of the second spring fixing platform 21, which drives the first separating connecting rod 31 to move, drives the first three-hole connecting rod 32 to act as a lever, and drives the first T-shaped connecting rod 33, the first bearing latch 34, and the second bearing latch 35 to move, thereby separating the two half-cylinders 37 and allowing the wet particles to accumulate naturally, thereby calibrating the angle of repose.
