[0003] The existing melt flow rate meter has an extrusion cylinder fixed above the feeding tube, and the pressing rod and the cleaning rod are detachably installed with the extrusion cylinder. When in use, the hopper should be placed on the feeding tube first to facilitate feeding, and then the hopper should be removed, and then the pressing rod should be installed at the lower end of the extrusion cylinder. The pressing rod is driven down by the extrusion cylinder and penetrated into the feeding tube to apply pressure to the melt. After the test is completed, the pressing rod should be removed and replaced with the cleaning rod to clean the feeding tube. It can be seen that the operation is extremely cumbersome, and the pressing rod, the cleaning rod and the hopper are all split designs, which need to be stored separately and are easy to lose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0028] Reference Figure 1A melt flow rate meter shown in the figure includes a base 10, on which a detection body 20, a first rotating table 30 and a second rotating table 40 are arranged from bottom to top. The detection body 20 can adopt a conventional design structure and model in the industry, which usually includes a feed pipe 21, a heating device (not shown) and a scraper (not shown). There are many mature solutions for the specific design and connection method of these structures in the industry. The improvement points of the present application are not in these structures, so they are not repeated. A storage box 31 is arranged on the first rotating table 30. The storage box 31 extends from one side of the first rotating table 30 to the top of the feeding tube 21, and the two sides of the second rotating table 40 are respectively provided with a first linear driving source 41 and a second linear driving source 42, the output end of the first linear driving source 41 is connected to a pressing rod 411, and the output end of the second linear driving source 42 is connected to a clearing rod 421; when in use, the material to be tested can be first stored on the storage box 31, and the storage box 31 can be rotated with the first rotating table 30 to face the feeding tube 21, and the staff can add the material in the storage box 31 to the feeding tube 21 Then, the staff drives the second rotating table 40 to rotate, and the pressing rod 411 and the cleaning rod 421 rotate with the second rotating table 40, wherein the pressing rod 411 rotates toward the direction close to the feeding tube 21 and presses the side of the storage box 31, thereby pushing the first rotating table 30 / storage box 31 to rotate to give way to the pressing rod 411, so that the pressing rod 411 can face the feeding tube 21, and start the first linear driving source 41 to make the pressing rod 411 descend and penetrate into the feeding tube 21, thereby applying a certain pressure to the material in the feeding tube 21 to adjust the melt flow rate. The melt flow rate meter of the present application is easy to operate. After the material storage box 31 is added with materials and the press rod 411 is reset, it can be rotated relative to the base 10 and away from the top of the discharge tube 21 without separate operation, so as to make way for subsequent operations.

[0029] In some possible embodiments, a first operating handle 412 and a first operating button 413 are installed on the side of the first linear drive source 41. The staff can drive the second rotating table 40 to rotate by the first operating handle 412, and the first operating button 413 is used to control the opening and closing of the first linear drive source 41; a second operating handle 422 and a second operating button 423 are installed on the side of the second linear drive source 42. The staff can also drive the second rotating table 40 to rotate by the second operating handle 422, and the second operating button 423 is used to control the opening and closing of the second linear drive source 42. In this embodiment, the first operating button 413 is set on the side of the first linear drive source 41, and the second operating button 423 is set on the side of the second linear drive source 42. The staff can intuitively know the control buttons corresponding to the drive source, and the control buttons of the driving source in operation are located directly in front of the staff for easy operation.

[0030] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, a positioning groove 414 is provided at the lower end of the first linear drive source 41, and a magnetic fixing structure 415 is provided on the opposite sides of the positioning groove 414. The magnetic fixing structure 415 can be a permanent magnet. The pressing rod 411 is made of a strong magnetic material, and the upper end of the pressing rod 411 is provided with a positioning protrusion 416 that matches the positioning groove 414. In this embodiment, the pressing rod 411 and the output end of the first linear drive source 41 are detachably connected. The purpose is to facilitate the staff to remove the pressing rod 411 for cleaning. After cleaning, the pressing rod 411 needs to be installed back to the output end of the first linear drive source 41 to avoid loss.

[0031] In some possible implementations, a fixed rotating shaft 11 is provided on the base 10, and the first rotating table 30 and the second rotating table 40 are both sleeved on the fixed rotating shaft 11. The first rotating table 30 and the second rotating table 40 are two independently operating components, that is, the first rotating table 30 and the second rotating table 40 can independently rotate forward and reverse along the axis of the fixed rotating shaft 11. In this embodiment, in order to compress the height dimension of the entire rate meter, the first rotating table 30 is configured to be a flat plate.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, the staff can push the storage box 31 / the first rotating table 30 to rotate so that the storage box 31 is facing the discharge pipe 21. In order to make the operation easier, a reset torsion spring (not shown) can also be set on the first rotating table 30. In the initial state, the storage box 31 is facing the discharge pipe 21. After the storage box 31 is subjected to the pressure of the pressing rod 411 / the clearing rod 421, it can rotate with the first rotating table 30 to deviate from the discharge pipe 21. After the pressing rod 411 / the clearing rod 421 cancels its pressure on the storage box 31, the storage box 31 / the first rotating table 30 and the elastic restoring force of the reset torsion spring rotate autonomously until the storage box 31 is facing the discharge pipe 21. It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the pressing rod 411 / the clearing rod 421 during operation, the torsion of the reset torsion spring needs to be limited to drive the first rotating table 30 to rotate but not drive the second rotating table 40 to rotate.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the material storage box 31 is hinged on the first rotating platform 30, and a material drop opening 311 is provided at one end of the material storage box 31 close to the material discharge pipe 21, and the lower end of the material drop opening 311 is connected to the material discharge pipe 312. When adding materials, a person manually presses the end of the material storage box 31 close to the material discharge pipe 21 to rotate the material storage box 31 relative to the first rotating platform 30 until the material drop pipe 312 is inserted into the material discharge pipe 21. Adding materials in sequence can ensure that there is no leakage, and the operation is convenient; further, the bottom of the material storage box 31 is inclined and the material drop opening 311 is located at the material storage box 3 1, a counterweight block 313 is further provided at one end of the material storage box 31 away from the material discharge pipe 21. Under normal circumstances, the end of the material storage box 31 with the counterweight block 313 is heavier to make the material discharge pipe 312 away from the material discharge pipe 21. The material storage box 31 is pressed manually to rotate the material storage box 31, which is convenient for the staff to move the material in the material storage box 31 from the material discharge port 311 into the material discharge pipe 21. After the material is added, the material storage box 31 is manually released / slowly released, and the material storage box 31 can be rotated relative to the first rotating platform 30 to make the material discharge pipe 312 away from the material discharge pipe 21.

[0034] It should be noted that the first linear drive source 41 and the second linear drive source 42 of all the above-mentioned embodiments can adopt conventional designs and models in the industry, which can usually be linear cylinders or linear electric cylinders, wherein the pressing rod 411 needs to apply a stable downward pressure to the material in the feeding pipe 21, so the first linear drive source 41 adopts a driving element with a voltage stabilizing function.

[0035] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
