[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a controllable automatic heating device for determining the relative molecular mass of PAM comprises a water bath 1 for placing an Ubbelohde viscometer, wherein the water bath 1 is arranged vertically;

[0042] It also includes a controller 2, a fixing mechanism, a stirring mechanism, an automatic timing mechanism and a circulating heating mechanism;

[0043] The controller 2 is fixed on the outer wall of the water bath 1;

[0044] A cover plate 3 is fixedly provided on the inner top of the water bath 1, and a fixing mechanism is inserted on the cover plate 3. The fixing mechanism includes a support basket 4, two lap plates 5 and two limit assemblies 6. A circular hole 7 is opened on the top of the cover plate 3. The support basket 4 is vertically inserted inside the circular hole 7, and the top of the support basket 4 is overlapped with the top of the circular hole 7 through a convex edge 8. The two lap plates 5 are fixed on the outer wall of the Ubbelohde viscometer, and the two limit assemblies 6 are respectively arranged between the inner wall of the support basket 4 and the outer walls of the two lap plates 5;

[0045] The stirring mechanism is inserted on the cover plate 3, and the stirring mechanism includes a driving assembly 9 and two stirring plates 10. Each stirring plate 10 is rotatably arranged on the outer wall of the cover plate 3 through a rotating shaft 11, and the driving assembly 9 is arranged between the two rotating shafts 11;

[0046] The automatic timing mechanism is arranged on the outer wall of the Ubbelohde viscometer, and the automatic timing mechanism includes an automatic timer 12 and two non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensors 13. The two non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensors 13 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the Ubbelohde viscometer, and the automatic timer 12 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the water bath 1;

[0047] The circulating heating mechanism is arranged beside the water bath 1, and the circulating heating mechanism includes a heating chamber 14, a circulating pump 15 and a heating component 16. The heating component 16 is arranged beside the water bath 1, and the heating chamber 14 is arranged at the inner bottom of the water bath 1 through a partition 17. The circulating pump 15 is fixed between the heating chamber 14 and the heating component 16. The automatic timer 12, the circulating pump 15, the driving component 9, the heating component 16 and each non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 are electrically connected to the controller 2.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, the drive assembly 9 includes a micro motor 18, a belt 19, a driving wheel 20 and two driven wheels 21. The micro motor 18 is fixed on the top of the cover plate 3, the driving wheel 20 is fixed on its output end, each driven wheel 21 is fixed on a rotating shaft 11, and a tightening wheel 22 is rotatably provided on the top of the cover plate 3. The belt 19 is sleeved between the driving wheel 20, the tightening wheel 22 and the two driven wheels 21. The micro motor 18 is electrically connected to the controller 2. While heating the low-temperature water above the partition 17, The controller 2 starts the micromotor 18, thereby driving the stirring plates 10 on the two rotating shafts 11 to rotate through the belt 19, the driving wheel 20 and the two driven wheels 21, stirring the water in the water bath 1, so that the heated water passes through the support basket 4 to evenly heat the Ubbelohde viscometer, which is beneficial to improving the measurement effect. It should be noted that the viscosity method is a prior art, that is, common knowledge. This application only designs an automatic heating device for the Ubbelohde viscometer, and does not elaborate on the specific operation of the viscosity method. It is only necessary to observe that the test liquid naturally falls into the Ubbelohde viscometer. In the tube of the Ubbelohde viscometer, the time for the outflow liquid level to flow from the upper non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 to the lower non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 can be used to measure the relative molecular mass of PAM. The specific operation is as follows: when the test liquid passes through the non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 below the small ball of the Ubbelohde viscometer, the non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 senses that the test liquid has arrived, and sends a signal to the controller 2, thereby starting the automatic timer 12 through the controller 2 to start timing; when the test liquid passes through the non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 below the large ball of the Ubbelohde viscometer, the non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensor 13 detects that the test liquid has arrived, and sends a signal to the controller 2, thereby powering off the automatic timer 12 through the controller 2, and then reading the time count on the automatic timer 12 can measure the viscosity of PAM, and then determine the relative molecular mass of PAM. The upper and lower non-contact photoelectric liquid level sensors represent the E and F timing lines respectively, thereby achieving an automatic timing effect to avoid experimental errors caused by inadequate observation of the experimenter.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, the heating assembly 16 includes an oil storage tank 23 and an electric heating pipe 24. An extraction pipe 25 and a delivery pipe 26 are fixedly arranged on the two output ends of the circulating pump 15, respectively. The end of the extraction pipe 25 away from the oil storage tank 23 is fixedly connected to the heating chamber 14.

The electric heating pipe 24 is electrically connected to the controller 2. When the operation is good, the electric heating pipe 24 is started by the controller 2 to heat the low-temperature oil in the oil storage tank 23 until it is heated to a temperature that meets the experimental requirements. The circulating pump 15 is then started by the controller 2 to deliver the hot oil to the inside of the heating chamber 14 through the extraction pipe 25 and the delivery pipe 26. After each time the hot oil in the heating chamber 14 exchanges heat with the low-temperature water in the water bath 1 through the heat conducting block 34, the low-temperature water is converted into hot water, and the hot oil is converted into cold oil. The cold oil is then sucked into the oil storage tank 23 by the circulating pump 15 for reheating to meet the next water bath heating operation and achieve a circulation effect.

It should be noted that the two limiting assemblies 6 are vertically distributed up and down, which can ensure that the Ubbelohde viscometer can be smoothly inserted into the interior of the support basket 4.
