Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of viscosity measurement technology, and more specifically to the field of a stopper mechanism for an effluent viscosity measurement system. Background Technology

[0002] Viscosity, also known as viscosity, refers to the resistance a fluid exhibits to its flow. When a fluid (gas or liquid) flows, and one part flows on top of another, it experiences resistance; this is the fluid's internal friction. The following patents disclose existing technologies: Patent publication number CN206177754U, entitled "Viscosity Measuring Tool and System," discloses the following: A viscosity measuring tool and system. The viscosity measuring tool includes a funnel, a sealing element, a pressing element, an elastic device, and a connecting element. The funnel has a leakage hole. The sealing element is located below the funnel neck and can seal the leakage hole. The pressing element is connected to the funnel body. The elastic device is connected to both the funnel neck and the sealing element, and has a tendency to move to seal the leakage hole. One end of the connecting element is connected to the pressing element, and the other end is connected to the sealing element. When the pressing element is pressed, the connecting element drives the sealing element to move, thereby opening the leakage hole. The viscosity measuring system includes a viscosity measuring tool and a measuring cup. The purpose of this invention is to provide a viscosity measuring tool and system to solve the technical problems of inconvenience and safety in measuring the viscosity of liquids such as drilling fluids by a single person in the prior art.

[0003] The sealing component in the aforementioned patent is an elastic pressing sealing component, which is prone to fatigue damage after long-term use, resulting in a decrease in sealing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a stopper opening mechanism and a viscosity measurement system for an effluent viscosity measurement system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a stopper mechanism for an effluent viscosity measurement system, comprising a height-adjustable mounting assembly, a translation cylinder mounted at the bottom of the height-adjustable mounting assembly, a translation push-pull plate disposed at the end of the translation cylinder, a swing mounting assembly fixed at the bottom of the translation push-pull plate, a secondary bending connecting rod hinged at the bend to the swing mounting assembly, a stopper clamped at one end of the bending connecting rod for sealing the outlet of the viscosity measurement system, and a swing cylinder for driving the secondary bending connecting rod to rotate; One end of the swing cylinder is hinged to the swing mounting assembly, and the other end of the swing cylinder is hinged to the other end of the secondary bending connecting rod.

[0006] Working process: First, the swing cylinder is initially in the extended position (at this time, the plug blocks the bottom of the standard container). The material to be measured is poured into the standard container. After starting, the swing cylinder retracts, causing the plug to open. The translation cylinder drives the entire swing cylinder to move backward, and the material flows out.

[0007] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a height-adjustable positioning block, an upper fixing plate, and a translation cylinder fixing plate; the upper fixing plate is mounted on top of the positioning block, the translation cylinder fixing plate is vertically arranged and connected to the top of the upper fixing plate, and the translation cylinder is mounted on the bottom of the translation cylinder fixing plate.

[0008] In one embodiment, a floating joint is also included, wherein the translation cylinder and the translation push-pull plate are connected by the floating joint.

[0009] In one embodiment, the swing mounting assembly is a swing cylinder fixing plate, the swing cylinder is hinged to the bottom left side of the swing cylinder fixing plate, the right end of the swing cylinder fixing plate is connected to the bottom of the translational push-pull plate, and a joint joint is installed at the end of the piston shaft of the swing cylinder. The joint joint is hinged to the secondary bending connecting rod by a cylindrical pin.

[0010] In one embodiment, the middle part of the secondary bending connecting rod is hinged to the right end of the swing cylinder fixing plate by a cylindrical pin.

[0011] In one embodiment, horizontal guide rods for guiding the translational push-pull plate are provided at both ends of the translational cylinder.

[0012] Another aspect of the present invention provides an effluent viscosity measurement system, including the above-described opening mechanism for an effluent viscosity measurement system.

[0013] In one embodiment, it also includes a viscosity measurement standard container mechanism, which includes an insulated tank body, a standard container, a sealing gasket, a support column, a receiving tray, and a base plate. The support column is installed on the base plate, and the insulation tank body is supported by the support column. The standard container is installed between the inner mounting surfaces of the insulation tank body and is sealed with a sealing gasket. The receiving tray is placed directly below the discharge port of the insulation tank body, and the sealing plug is matched with the discharge port.

[0014] In one embodiment, multiple foot dampers are evenly distributed on the bottom of the base plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, a protective cover is provided on the outside of the plug opening mechanism, and the protective cover is fixed to the base plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention is reasonably designed. When the swing cylinder is initially in the extended state (at which time the plug blocks the lower opening of the standard container), the material to be measured is poured into the standard container. After starting, the swing cylinder retracts, causing the plug to open. The translation cylinder moves the entire swing cylinder backward, allowing the material to flow out. The opening and closing of the discharge port of the viscosity measuring standard container mechanism is achieved by the swing cylinder and the translation cylinder driving the plug clamped on the secondary bending connecting rod, which can realize automatic and high-precision sealing of the discharge port.
