Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal analysis, in particular to a sample preparation device based on a thermal mechanical analyzer. Background Art

[0002] Thermal analysis technology is a type of technology that measures the relationship between certain physical properties of a substance and temperature or time under programmed temperature control (and a certain atmosphere). Common thermal analysis instruments include thermogravimetric analyzers, differential scanning calorimeters, thermomechanical analyzers, etc. Among them, the types of samples involved in thermomechanical analysis experiments are diverse, and the results obtained from samples of different shapes vary greatly. In order to facilitate detection and improve the repeatability and accuracy of measurements, it is usually necessary to prepare the samples into a certain shape. For example, when testing in tensile mode, the samples must be cut into standard test strips. Manual cutting often results in uneven edges and irregular specimens. Especially for samples that are prone to curling, it also increases the difficulty of manual cutting. For example Figure 1 The curve in the figure is the breaking strength value obtained by measuring the paper samples cut by hand. Figure 1 It can be seen that the repeatability between different samples is poor (the data fluctuation is as high as 14.5%), and this method cannot meet the experimental requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain samples with consistent shapes through a special sample preparation device. The data fluctuation of the fracture strength obtained by this method can be controlled within 0.1%, such as Figure 1 The current commercial sample cutting devices have the problems of relatively single size and inability to accurately control the pressure, which cannot meet the preparation requirements of different samples.

In practical applications, different punching forces and knife heads of different sizes and shapes can be selected for different types of samples based on the needs of different instruments, so as to better obtain samples of different sizes that can meet the test needs.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A sample preparation device based on a thermomechanical analyzer comprises a column, an electric push rod, a knife die mounting part, a knife die, an electric push rod switch, a sample clamp and a pressing and cutting platform; the knife die mounting part is provided with a slide rail, and a knife die of a suitable size is selected to slide onto the knife die mounting part; a pull-out sample table is placed on the pressing and cutting platform with a sample preparation area, and the pull-out sample table is provided with a sample preparation area; the sample preparation area is provided with a sample clamp, and after the pull-out sample table is pulled out, a sample to be tested is placed in the sample preparation area; after the electric push rod is started, the knife die is pushed to press and cut the sample to be tested.
