Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of paint film flexibility testing, in particular to an automated paint film flexibility testing instrument. Background Art

[0002] Paint film, also known as coating film, is a solid continuous film formed by one or more coats of paint applied on the substrate. It is necessary to test its comprehensive properties such as toughness (elasticity, plasticity) and adhesion after bending under external force. This helps us understand the performance of the paint film under external force, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of the coating film in practical applications.

[0003] The current measurement method is that after the paint film is completely dry, under constant temperature and humidity conditions, with the paint film facing upward, the paint film test plate is pressed tightly on the shaft rod with both hands and bent around the shaft rod. The bending action is completed within 2-3 seconds using the strength of the two thumbs; after bending, the thumbs of both hands should be symmetrical to the center line of the shaft rod. Shaft rods of different diameters are used during the measurement process because on shaft rods of different diameters, after the coating sample is bent around the shaft rod, the elongation of the coating increases as the diameter of the shaft rod decreases, thereby rating the flexibility of the paint film; during the rating, a 4x magnifying glass is used to observe whether the paint film has damage such as reticulation, cracks and peeling. However, the method of manually pressing the paint film test plate is not able to control the pressing force each time, resulting in low test accuracy. During the detection process, if there is a small error, it will affect the detection structure. At the same time, due to the cumbersome process, it is not convenient to carry out large-scale coating film detection, which is easy to cause waste of manpower and material resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an automated paint film flexibility tester to solve the problem of low test accuracy caused by manual pressure on a paint film test plate.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solutions provided are as follows:

[0006] An automated paint film flexibility tester comprises a test box, wherein a workbench is provided in the test box, an arc-shaped groove is provided in the center of the workbench, a threaded hole is provided on the rear side of the arc-shaped groove, shaft rods of different diameters can be replaced and fixedly installed in the threaded hole, clamping mechanisms for clamping a paint film test plate are provided on both sides of the top of the arc-shaped groove, a pressure block is provided above the arc-shaped groove, a pressure sensor is provided on the pressure block, a vertically arranged first cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure block, a second cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the upper part of the cylinder body of the first cylinder, the second cylinder is horizontally arranged on the top surface of the test box, and the second cylinder pushes the first cylinder to move horizontally on the test box.

[0007] The basic principle of the above technical solution is: the paint film test plate is clamped and placed above the arc-shaped groove through the clamping mechanism, and the first cylinder is started to extend so that the pressure block presses the paint film test plate downward on the shaft rod. The pressure sensor can accurately monitor the pressure used by the pressure block, thereby controlling the extension length of the first cylinder in conjunction with the control, and then controlling the clamping force to improve the accuracy of the paint film flexibility test. After each measurement is completed, the shaft rods of different diameters are replaced in time and the measurement is continued to complete the rating of the paint film flexibility. The second cylinder is extended or shortened to push the first cylinder to slide horizontally on the test box, so that the pressure block can be adjusted to act on different horizontal positions of the paint film test plate.

[0008] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that compared with the existing method of manually pressing the paint film test plate, this solution uses the first cylinder to automatically push the pressure block instead of manually pressing the paint film test plate, saving manpower, and jointly controlling the extension length of the first cylinder with the pressure sensor, thereby controlling the clamping force and improving the accuracy of the paint film flexibility test.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped placement block, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the arc-shaped groove, and the top of the L-shaped placement block is rotatably connected with an elastic clip. The paint film test plate is placed on the step formed by the L-shaped placement block, and the elastic clip is rotated to press on the paint film test plate, so that the paint film test plate can be clamped.

[0010] Furthermore, a through slot is provided above the test box, and the first cylinder passes through the through slot and enters the test box. Slideways are provided on both sides of the through slot, and two sliders slidably connected in the slideways are fixedly connected on both sides of the first cylinder. The second cylinder telescopes and pushes the first cylinder, and the slider slides in the slideway, so that the first cylinder can move horizontally above the test box through the through slot.

[0011] Furthermore, a tool box is provided in the test box under the workbench, and shaft rods of different diameters are stored and placed in the tool box.

[0012] Furthermore, a lighting strip is provided on the inner side of the top of the test box, which enables the tester to observe the pressing condition of the paint film test plate more clearly.

[0013] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the outside of the test box, and the controller controls the opening and closing of the first cylinder, the second cylinder and the lighting strip. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
