[0046] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1 - 5 , a sponge tester includes a material placement pedestal 1, a machine pedestal 2, a hardness detection component 3, and a tensile detection component 4. A bracket 11 is provided on the material placement pedestal 1 and is connected to the machine pedestal 2 through the bracket 11. The hardness detection component 3 is provided on the machine pedestal 2 and detects the sponge from above. There are two groups of tensile detection components 4 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the material placement pedestal 1, and the tensile detection components 4 detect the sponge from both sides;

[0048] The hardness detection component 3 includes a push rod component 31, a force value sensing component 32, and an extrusion part 33. The push rod component 31 is provided in the machine pedestal 2. The push rod component 31 has a piston part. The piston part passes through the machine pedestal 2 and is connected to the force value sensing component 32. The push rod component 31 is an electric push rod in the prior art. The force value sensing component 32 is a pressure sensor in the prior art. The force value sensing component 32 is connected to the extrusion part 33. Through the cooperation of the push rod component 31, the extrusion part 33 approaches or moves away from the material placement pedestal 1. When the force value sensing component 32 is squeezed, it can convert the received pressure into a value, thereby judging the magnitude of the pressure;

[0049] The tensile detection component 4 includes a support 41, a lead screw component 42, a sliding seat 43, a driver 44, and a clamping component 45. The support 41 is provided on the material placement pedestal 1. The support 41 and the push rod component 31 are vertically distributed on the same horizontal plane. The lead screw component 42 is rotatably provided in the support 41. A lead screw bearing seat is provided at the connection between the lead screw component 42 and the support 41. The sliding seat 43 is installed on the lead screw component 42. The driver 44 is provided on one side of the support 41. The output end of the driver 44 is connected to the lead screw component 42 through a coupling. The driver 44 is a servo drive motor in the prior art. The driver 44 is used to provide power for the rotation of the lead screw component 42. The clamping component 45 is provided on the sliding seat 43;

[0050] Through the cooperation of the lead screw component 42 and the sliding seat 43, the clamping component 45 can move relatively along the length direction of the lead screw component 42.

[0051] Based on the above structure, when it is necessary to detect the hardness of the sponge, the sponge is placed on the material placing table base 1 and below the extrusion part 33. By controlling the piston part of the push rod component 31 to expand and contract, the force value sensing component 32 drives the extrusion part 33 to extrude the sponge from above. When the pressure received during extrusion is transmitted to the force value sensing component 32 through the extrusion part 33, the hardness of the sponge can be judged. When it is necessary to perform a tensile test, one end of the sponge is placed on the clamping component 45 in the tensile test assembly 4. Since the clamping component 45 is installed on the sliding seat 43, when the lead screw component 42 rotates in cooperation with the driver 44, the sliding seat 43 drives the clamping component 45 to move along the rotation direction of the lead screw component 42, and the sponge is stretched during the movement. According to the moving distance and time, the tensile strength of the sponge can be detected. Through the cooperation of the hardness detection component 3 and the tensile detection component 4, two kinds of detections can be completed on one device, thereby improving the use flexibility of the sponge tester and solving the problem that the existing sponge detector can only detect one physical property.

[0052] In one implementation, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the clamping component 45 includes a bearing seat 451, a pressure plate 452 and an elastic member 453. The bearing seat 451 is arranged on the sliding seat 43. The bearing seat 451 has a receiving groove 4511. The pressure plate 452 has an embedding part 4521. By movably arranging the embedding part 4521 in the receiving groove 4511, the pressure plate 452 and the bearing seat 451 are connected;

[0053] The elastic member 453 is located in the receiving groove 4511. One end of the elastic member 453 is connected to the receiving groove 4511, and the other end is connected to the embedding part 4521; the elastic member 453 is any one of a pressure spring, a telescopic spring or a torsion spring in the prior art. Through the cooperation of the elastic member 453, a placement area for placing the sponge is formed between the end face of the pressure plate 452 and the bearing seat 451. When the sponge is placed in the placement area, one end is in contact with the bearing seat 451, and the other end is in contact with the pressure plate 452, thus completing the clamping of the sponge. Since the thickness of different sponges varies, by connecting the embedding part 4521 in the pressure plate 452 with the elastic member 453, the position of the pressure plate 452 can be changed by stretching the elastic member 453, thereby increasing the range of the placement area. And due to the characteristics of the elastic member 453 itself, when the stretching of the elastic member 453 is released, the elastic member 453 drives the pressure plate 452 to reset, so that the pressure plate 452 abuts against the sponge, thereby fixing the sponge.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the clamping member 45 further includes a screw member 454 and a fixed pressing plate 455. A threaded hole is provided on the pressing plate 452. The screw member 454 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. One end of the screw member 454 extends into the placement area and is connected to the fixed pressing plate 455 through a bearing. The setting of the bearing can ensure that when the screw member 454 rotates, the fixed pressing plate 455 does not rotate synchronously. A handwheel is installed at the other end of the screw member 454 away from the pressing plate 452. The setting of the handwheel facilitates the operator to rotate the screw member 454. To further improve the stability of the sponge when placed on the clamping member 45, the rotation of the screw member 454 drives the fixed pressing plate 455 to change its position, so that the fixed pressing plate 455 presses the sponge, thereby performing a limiting operation on the sponge.

[0055] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , it further includes a pin part 5. The material placement table base 1 is provided with several uniformly distributed mounting holes 12. By installing the pin part 5 in the mounting holes 12, a limiting area for placing the sponge is formed. Since different sponge sizes are different and the sponge itself is relatively light in weight, to avoid the position of the sponge detection shifting due to shaking during the detection process, the pin part 5 is installed in the mounting holes 12 according to the size of the sponge, so that the pin part 5 can limit and fix the sponge from different positions.

[0056] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , it further includes a rotary driving member 6 and a material placement disk 7. A through groove 13 is provided on the material placement table base 1. The rotary driving member 6 is arranged inside the material placement table base 1. The rotary driving member 6 is an electric turntable driven by a motor in the prior art;

[0057] The turntable part of the rotary driving member 6 is located in the through groove 13 and is connected to the material placement disk 7, enabling the material placement disk 7 to rotate in a circle. The top end face of the material placement disk 7 is on the same horizontal plane as the end face of the material placement table base 1. Being on the same horizontal plane can ensure that when the sponge is placed on the material placement table base 1, it can be kept parallel. By placing the sponge to be detected on the material placement disk 7 and driving the material placement disk 7 to rotate through the rotary driving member 6, the rotation of the sponge can be realized. When the sponge rotates and one end of it is connected to the clamping member 45, the torsional performance of the sponge can be detected.

[0058] In one of the embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , a chute 14 is further provided on the material placing pedestal 1, and a slider 411 is provided on the support 41. By embedding the slider 411 into the chute 14, the support 41 can move along the length direction of the chute 14. The support 41 moves along the chute 14 through the slider 411, which can change the position of the support 41, so as to be applicable to sponges of different sizes and improve the flexibility of use of the support 41;

[0059] Depressions 141 are provided on both sides of the chute 14, and protrusions 4111 are provided at positions corresponding to the depressions 141 on the slider 411. The protrusions 4111 are embedded into the depressions 141. Through the cooperation of the protrusions 4111 and the depressions 141, the contact area between the slider 411 and the chute 14 when the slider 411 moves in the chute 14 can be increased, so as to limit the slider 411 and improve the stability of the slider 411 moving in the chute 14.

[0060] In one of the embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 , a control panel 21 is provided on the machine pedestal 2. The control panel 21 is electrically connected to the push rod member 31 and the driver 44. The telescopic length of the push rod member 31 can be changed through the control panel 21, and the power of the driver 44 can be adjusted, so as to change the rotation speed of the lead screw member 42. By communicating with the force value sensing member 32 through the control panel 21, the pressure value detected by the force value sensing member 32 can be transmitted to the control panel 21.

[0061] In one of the embodiments, with reference to Figures 1 - 3 , several uniformly distributed support foot pads 15 are provided at the bottom of the material placing pedestal 1. The support foot pads 15 are distributed around the material placing pedestal 1. By providing the support foot pads 15, the friction between the material placing pedestal 1 and the desktop can be enhanced, so as to improve the placement stability of the material placing pedestal 1.
