Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a reusable sealed sample cell, belonging to the field of calorimetric measurement devices. Background Technology
[0002] Heat capacity refers to the energy absorbed or released by a material when the temperature changes by one degree. Currently, there are three main methods for accurately measuring the heat capacity of condensed matter at low temperatures: relaxation calorimetry, alternating current calorimetry, and adiabatic calorimetry. Relaxation calorimetry is only applicable to powder samples, which to some extent limits its applicability in different material states. When dealing with materials with poor thermal conductivity, alternating current calorimetry is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, which limits its widespread application.
[0003] In contrast, adiabatic calorimetry has a wider measurement range, applicable to the vast majority of condensed matter and has high measurement accuracy. To ensure the universality of adiabatic calorimetry, almost all adiabatic calorimetry devices use a sample cell to hold the sample to be tested. Therefore, the sealing of the sample cell is crucial. Once the sample cell seal fails, the reliability of the measurement results will be significantly affected.
[0004] The currently widely used sealing method uses gaskets and blades for sealing. This method has certain limitations. For example, when the blade comes into contact with the gasket, it will cause scratches at different locations, which will affect the reusability of the gasket. In addition, the blade has a short service life, which also reduces its economy and practicality. Summary of the Invention
[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a reusable sealed sample cell is provided, comprising a cylindrical body, a nut cap, and a sealing ring;
[0006] The inner wall of the nut cap is provided with internal threads;
[0007] The cylindrical body comprises two integrally formed upper and lower cylinders, wherein the diameter of the upper cylinder is smaller than that of the lower cylinder;
[0008] The outer surface of the upper cylinder is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the nut cap;
[0009] The upper surface of the lower cylinder is provided with an annular groove, and the sealing ring is fixed on the groove;
[0010] The diameter of the sealing ring is not less than the width of the groove.
[0011] Optionally, the diameter of the sealing ring is set to 0.5 mm, and the width of the groove is set to 0.3 to 0.4 mm.
[0012] During use, the sealing ring is placed in the groove between the nut cap and the upper surface of the sample cell lower cylinder. The nut cap is screwed down by the engagement of the internal and external threads, and the applied pressure deforms the sealing ring, thereby achieving a reliable seal of the sample cell.
[0013] Optionally, the sealing ring is made of a metal material, which needs to have good ductility and low temperature resistance.
[0014] Optionally, the sealing ring is made of one of the following materials: indium, tin, lead, aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, or copper alloy.
[0015] Optionally, the height of the internal thread is greater than the height of the external thread.
[0016] Optionally, the height of the external thread is set to 4.5 mm, and the height of the internal thread is set to 5 mm.
[0017] When the nut cap is screwed into the upper cylinder through the thread, the nut cap can fully fit the upper cylinder, ensuring that the lower surface of the nut cap and the upper surface of the lower cylinder can fit tightly together to achieve a seal.
[0018] The beneficial effects that this application can produce include:
[0019] The reusable sealed sample cell provided in this application is easy to operate, has good reusability, long service life, and is applicable to most materials. By screwing the nut cap downward through the cooperation of the internal and external threads, the applied pressure deforms the sealing ring, and the sealing ring fills the gap between them, which can effectively achieve gas sealing.

[0028] The inner wall of the nut cap 5 is provided with internal threads 6;
[0029] The cylinder 1 includes two integrally formed upper and lower cylinders, wherein the diameter of the upper cylinder 3 is smaller than that of the lower cylinder 7.

[0032] The height of the external thread is 4.5 mm, and the height of the internal thread 6 is 5 mm.
[0033] When the nut cap 5 is screwed into the upper cylinder 3 by the thread, the nut cap 5 can fully fit the upper cylinder 3, ensuring that the lower surface of the nut cap 5 and the upper surface of the lower cylinder 7 can fit tightly together to achieve a seal.
