Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid viscosity coefficient measuring devices, and particularly relates to a liquid viscosity coefficient measuring device based on stepping motor control. Background Technique

[0002] The liquid viscosity coefficient is an important physical quantity describing the nature of internal friction in liquids, also known as the internal friction coefficient or viscosity. The liquid viscosity coefficient refers to the internal friction force per unit area along the flow layer when there is a unit velocity gradient between two laminar flow layers. It characterizes the ability of the liquid to resist deformation and only manifests when there is relative motion in the liquid. In the falling ball method detection, the viscosity coefficient is calculated by measuring the falling speed of the small ball in the liquid. When the small ball falls uniformly in the liquid, its gravity, buoyancy, and viscous resistance reach equilibrium. According to Stokes' formula (η = 2gr²(ρ s - ρ l ) / 9v), the viscosity coefficient can be calculated, but it still has the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0003] In the traditional falling ball method for detecting the viscosity coefficient of liquids, it is necessary for experimenters to observe with the naked eye to determine when the small ball reaches a uniform speed during its movement in the liquid to be measured. Moreover, during the work, the small ball is also affected by the gravitational acceleration, resulting in a large measurement error.

[0004] Secondly, during the measurement, the small ball is often placed at different positions in the liquid. In the detection work, when the small ball starts the measurement at different initial liquid levels, the measured data has a certain error, affecting the measurement accuracy. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a liquid viscosity coefficient measuring device based on stepping motor control. By setting a water tank, a slide rail assembly, a connecting plate, and a light slider, the problems of large measurement errors in the traditional falling ball method for detecting the viscosity coefficient of liquids and the easy generation of errors when the small ball is at different initial liquid levels during the measurement are solved.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model relates to a device for measuring the viscosity coefficient of a liquid based on stepping motor control, which comprises a water tank, a slide rail assembly, a connecting plate and a light slider. A slide rail assembly is fixed on the top of the water tank. The slide rail assembly comprises a support plate and an air cushion guide rail. Support plates are fixed at two short sides of the top of the water tank. An air cushion guide rail is fixedly arranged between the two support plates. Fixed blocks are fixed in the middle of the tops of the two support plates. A connecting plate is fixedly arranged on the tops of the two fixed blocks. A stepping motor is fixed on one side of one of the fixed blocks. The outer side of the air cushion guide rail is movably connected with a light slider. A sliding port is formed through the light slider, and the air cushion guide rail penetrates through the sliding port. A fixed rod is fixed at the center of the bottom of the light slider, and a small ball is fixed at the bottom end of the fixed rod. During operation, the water tank is used to contain the liquid whose viscosity coefficient needs to be measured, and the slide rail assembly provides a supporting effect for the light slider above the water tank. The force sensor driven by the structure driven by the stepping motor on the connecting plate drives the light slider to move on the air cushion guide rail under the pulling of the connecting rope, and drives the small ball to slide in the liquid to be measured in the water tank.

[0008] Further, a water outlet pipe is fixedly communicated with the upper part of one end of the water tank, and a switch valve is fixed on the periphery of the water outlet pipe. The water outlet pipe ensures that the liquid levels are the same when measuring the viscosity coefficient of the liquid to be measured in the water tank, and the on-off of the water outlet pipe is controlled by the switch valve.

[0009] Further, the slide rail assembly further comprises a connecting frame. A connecting frame is fixed on one side of the support plate close to the air cushion guide rail near the stepping motor. The connecting frame is arranged above the air cushion guide rail. During the operation of the slide rail assembly, a fixed pulley is rotatably connected in the connecting frame.

[0010] Further, the slide rail assembly further comprises a fixed pulley and a connecting rope. A fixed pulley is rotatably connected in the connecting frame. A connecting rope is wound around the periphery of the fixed pulley. The lower end of the connecting rope is fixed to the light slider. The fixed pulley changes the pulling direction of the connecting rope.

[0011] Further, a threaded rod is fixed at the output end of the stepping motor. The threaded rod passes through the fixed block fixed to the stepping motor, and the end of the threaded rod away from the stepping motor is rotatably connected to the fixed block away from the stepping motor. During the rotation of the threaded rod driven by the stepping motor, the sliding plate is driven to move.

[0012] Further, a sliding plate is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded rod. The top of the sliding plate is in contact with the connecting plate. A force sensor is fixed at the short side of the bottom of the sliding plate close to the stepping motor. The upper end of the connecting rope is fixed to one end of the force sensor close to the stepping motor. During the operation of the threaded rod, the force sensor is driven to move through the sliding plate, and the connecting rope is pulled to drive the light slider to move.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] By setting a water tank, a slide rail assembly, a connecting plate and a lightweight slider, the utility model solves the problem of large measurement errors in the traditional falling ball method for detecting the viscosity coefficient of a liquid. When measuring the viscosity coefficient of the fluid to be measured, start the air cushion guide rail. First, without pouring any liquid into the water tank, directly start the stepping motor to drive the threaded rod to rotate, drive the sliding plate to slide at the bottom of the connecting plate, and at the same time drive the force sensor. After the movement direction of the connecting rope connected to the force sensor is changed by the fixed pulley, it pulls the lightweight slider to slide on the air cushion guide rail, driving the sliding port, the fixed rod and the small ball at the bottom of the lightweight slider to slide in the air or the fluid to be measured. After the measured vertical value is calculated, the viscosity coefficient of the fluid to be measured is obtained. In the measurement, the stepping motor can accurately control the pulse signal to achieve precise control of the movement speed and displacement of the small ball, ensure the uniform movement of the small ball, effectively avoid errors caused by unstable speed, and have higher measurement accuracy.

[0015] By setting a water tank, the utility model solves the problem of easy errors in the measurement when the small ball is at different initial liquid levels. When measuring the viscosity coefficient of the corresponding liquid, pour the liquid to be measured into the water tank and make it higher than the height of the water outlet pipe, and set the container for receiving the excess liquid below the water outlet pipe. Open the switch valve on the water outlet pipe, and the excess liquid in the water tank will drain into the collecting container from the water outlet pipe until no more liquid drains from the water outlet pipe, then close the switch valve. Ensure that when measuring different liquids, the liquid level in the water tank is the same and the liquid just submerges the small ball, ensuring that the small ball is at the same depth in the measurement of the viscosity coefficient of different liquids and reducing errors.

[0026] Specifically, a water outlet pipe 101 is fixedly connected to the upper part of one end of the water tank 1. A switch valve 102 is fixed on the circumference of the water outlet pipe 101. During operation, the water tank 1 is supported on the workbench surface, and a container for collecting the excess liquid to be measured is supported on the workbench surface below the output end of the water outlet pipe 101.

[0027] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly 2 further includes a connecting frame 203.
