Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a rapid feeding device for a torque rheometer. Background Art
[0002] The torque rheometer is a device used to study the shear, plasticization, rheology and other properties of resin materials. By adding materials to the shear chamber, the double cones rotate to produce shear, thereby recording the temperature and torque changes and drawing the torque and temperature curve. In the actual test process, if material developers want to make a better comparative test, they require that the feeding section of the curve has as high a coincidence as possible. At this stage, the feeding method of torque rheometers adopts natural feeding, that is, after the material is added to the hopper, it naturally enters the shear chamber by gravity or the experimenter uses a pressure rod to assist in pressing it into the shear chamber.
[0003] The existing solution has the following defects:
[0004] (1) The natural feeding method has a slow feeding speed. The material entering the shear chamber at the front has already started to plasticize, while the material at the back has not yet entered the shear chamber. It is impossible to control the materials of each group of tests to be completely added to the shear chamber at the same time. The curve drawn has poor repeatability in the feeding and melting section, and cannot be compared and analyzed. (2) Although the feeding speed of the method assisted by the experimenter using a pressure rod is faster than the speed of natural gravity feeding, when encountering materials with uneven particle sizes or easily softened materials, the particles are easily stuck in the feeding hopper, resulting in difficulty in controlling the same time for each feeding. The feeding section of the curve is still difficult to achieve good repeatability, and cannot be compared and analyzed. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fast feeding device 10 for a torque rheometer of the present application comprises: an arm fixing seat 11, an arm 12, a gear bin 13, a gear assembly, a pressure rod 18, a feed bin 19 mounted on the rheometer, and a pressing pestle 20 for pressing the material in the feed bin 19 into the rheometer. During installation, the arm fixing seat 11 is fixed to a specified position of the rheometer, the arm 12 is arranged above the arm fixing seat 11, and the gear bin 13 is arranged at the upper end of the arm 12. The above-mentioned gear assembly comprises: a rotating gear 14, a gear shaft 15, a rotating bearing 16 and a rotating wheel 17, the two ends of the gear shaft 15 are rotatably supported on the bin walls on both sides of the gear bin 13 through the rotating bearings 16, the rotating gear 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the gear shaft 15, and the rotating wheel 17 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft extending out of the gear bin 13. The gear bin 13 is formed with a through hole 131 for the upper end of the pressure rod 18 to enter the gear bin 13 and pass through the lower end of the gear bin 13. The pressure rod 18 is formed with a transmission rack 181, which is meshed and connected with the rotating gear 14 when the pressure rod 18 moves up and down. The pressing pestle 20 is installed at the lower end of the pressure rod 18, and the feed bin 19 is installed on the rheometer and its feed port is correspondingly arranged with the pressing pestle 20. When the pressing pestle 20 is pressed into the feed bin 19, it is arranged in close contact with the feed channel 191 of the feed bin 19.
[0025] As a specific implementation, a counterweight 21 for improving the efficiency of pressing the material is detachably mounted on the upper end of the pressing rod 18. This solution uses the lever principle by using the rotating wheel 17 to drive the gear meshing transmission, and the weight makes the pressing process easy and efficient, and can ensure that each feeding is completed in a very short time.
[0026] Furthermore, a sleeve hole 211 is formed on the lower side of the counterweight 21 for matching the upper end of the pressure rod 18. The counterweight 21 can be detachably mounted on the upper end of the pressure rod 18 through the sleeve hole 211, so that it is convenient to replace the appropriate counterweight 21 according to different situations, and the versatility is higher.
[0027] As a specific embodiment, the pressing rod 18 is formed with a lower limit hole 182, and the wall of the gear bin 13 is formed with a through hole 132, and a limit pin 23 is inserted in the through hole 132 to limit the pressing pestle 20 to be located at the upper end of the feed bin 19. The limit pin 23 corresponds to the lower limit hole 182 when the rotating gear 14 is engaged with the end of the transmission rack 181. At this time, the limit pin 23 is inserted into the lower limit hole 182 to limit the pressing pestle 20 above the feed bin 19, and the material can be put into the feed bin 19.
[0028] Furthermore, the pressing rod 18 is formed with an upper limit hole 183, and the limit pin 23 corresponds to the upper limit hole 183 when the rotating gear 14 is engaged with the upper end of the transmission rack 181. At this time, by inserting the limit pin 23 into the upper limit hole 183, the position of the pressing pestle 20 relative to the feed bin 19 can be limited when the pressing pestle 20 is pressed into the specified position of the feed bin 19, thereby preventing the material in the feed port of the rheometer from returning through the pressing pestle 20.
[0029] As a specific implementation manner, a pressing concave surface 201 is formed on one side of the pressing pestle 20 for contacting the material, which is used to gather and press the material, thereby improving the effectiveness of pressing the material.
[0030] As a specific embodiment, the pressing pestle 20 is formed with an internal thread hole, and the lower end of the pressing rod 18 is formed with an external thread connection portion, and the pressing pestle 20 is screwed into the internal thread hole through the external thread connection portion, and is detachably mounted on the lower end of the pressing rod 18. This facilitates the installation of the pressing pestle 20, and also facilitates the replacement of the pressing pestle 20 adapted to the feed port of different rheometers, thereby improving the versatility of use.
[0031] As a specific implementation, the vertical arm 12, the vertical arm fixing seat 11 and the gear compartment 13 are designed as an integrated whole, and the structural strength is high.
[0032] As a specific implementation, a handle 22 is provided on one side of the rotating wheel 17 for a worker to manually rotate the rotating wheel 17, making the operation more convenient.
[0033] In the above scheme, in addition to manually rotating the wheel 17 to drive the pressure rod 18 to move up and down, an electric structure can also be optionally installed, that is, the gear shaft 15 is connected to the motor shaft, and the feeding speed can be controlled by controlling the speed of the motor, making the feeding process more stable and reliable.
[0034] As a specific implementation, the vertical arm fixing seat 11 is formed with a plurality of fixing holes 111. The vertical arm fixing seat 11 is fixed to a designated position of the rheometer by screws passing through the fixing holes 111, and the installation structure is simple and fast.
[0035] When the fast feeding device 10 for the torque rheometer of the present solution is used, the limiter inserted into the upper limit hole 183 is first pulled out, and the handle 22 is grasped to rotate the rotating wheel 17 clockwise, and the rotating wheel 17 rotates together with the gear shaft 15 and the rotating gear 14, and the entire pressing rod 18 is raised through the meshing relationship between the rotating gear 14 and the transmission rack 181. When the pressing rod 18 is raised to the specified position in conjunction with the pressing pestle 20, the limit pin 23 is pressed to insert the limit pin 23 into the lower limit hole 182, and the position of the pressing rod 18 is fixed at this time, that is, the position of the pressing pestle 20 is fixed. At this time, add material to the feed bin 19, then pull out the limit pin 23 in the lower limit hole 182, and quickly rotate the wheel 17 in the counterclockwise direction. At this time, the entire pressure rod 18 moves downward under the drive of the rotating gear 14, and finally the pressing pestle 20 is accurately pressed into the feed channel 191 of the feed bin 19. Then continue to rotate the wheel 17 to quickly press the material into the shear bin of the rheometer. After the pressure rod 18 is completely pressed into the feed channel 191, press the limit pin 23 to insert it into the upper limit hole 183, which can prevent the pressure rod 18 from being lifted up again by the material in the shear bin, thereby preventing the material from returning.
[0036] The above-mentioned fast feeding device 10 for the torque rheometer adopts an active material pressing method, so that the feeding speed of the material added to the feeding port of the rheometer can be manually controlled and will not get stuck. This solution can realize the up and down movement of the pressing pestle 20 by rotating the rotating wheel 17. The operation method is simple, the pressing speed is controllable, and the feeding section of the curve after the experiment is completed has high repeatability. Compared with the traditional feeding method, the material can be quickly added by using this device, and the pressing pestle 20 will prevent the material from returning in the shear bin of the rheometer, which can solve the problem that the existing torque rheometer is difficult to add materials quickly and at the same time when adding materials, resulting in low repeatability and poor comparability of the curve feeding section.
[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the utility model in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
