Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cotton bale moisture regain testing, and particularly relates to a cotton bale moisture regain testing structure. Background Art
[0002] The moisture regain is an index indicating the moisture absorption degree of textile materials. The rate of moisture regain refers to the percentage of the weight of water contained in the fiber to the dry weight of the fiber, that is: rate of moisture regain = (fiber wet weight - fiber dry weight) / fiber dry weight. In practical applications, in dry or humid environments, the moisture regain of cotton bales is likely to change, which will affect the quality and efficiency of textile processing. The testing of the moisture regain of cotton bales can facilitate the timely control or adjustment of the moisture regain of cotton bales, and is convenient for controlling the quality and efficiency of textile processing.
[0003] Most of the existing instruments for testing the moisture regain of cotton bales use plug-in probes for measurement. However, cotton bales are formed by mechanical pressing. The manually operated plug-in probes are time-consuming and laborious during the insertion process, and it is difficult to reach the depth required for moisture regain testing. Moreover, the plug-in probes are prone to tilt during the insertion into the cotton bales, resulting in insufficient depth of the probes inserted into the cotton bales and deviation of the insertion angle, which will affect the measurement result of the moisture regain and the accuracy of the cotton bale moisture regain testing.
[0004] In addition, most of the existing testing probes adopt a single-probe design. However, due to the differences in the moisture regain at different positions in the cotton bale and the changes with the temperature and humidity of the environment where the cotton bale is located, there will be a large deviation between the moisture regain measured at the testing position and the actual moisture regain of the cotton bale to be measured. Moreover, the test values on different sides of the same cotton bale are not completely consistent, and there may even be a large difference.
[0005] The Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN214310269U discloses an insertion - type cotton bale moisture regain detector. This utility model provides an insertion - type cotton bale moisture regain detector, which includes a test host and a cotton bale probe. The cotton bale probe is connected to the host through a wire. A collection device is also connected to the rear end of the cotton bale probe. The collection device includes a data collection module and a Bluetooth transmission module. The data collection module is also connected to a voltage collection sensor with a pole plate. The Bluetooth transmission module transmits the voltage data collected by the voltage collection sensor with a pole plate to the test host. The test host includes a Bluetooth reception module, a data processing module, and a display module. The Bluetooth reception module is used to receive the voltage data sent by the Bluetooth transmission module. The data processing module processes the data received by the Bluetooth reception module. The display module transmits the measured value of the cotton bale moisture regain to the display screen for display. When detecting the moisture content of the cotton bale after it is packed, this detector does not need to unpack for detection, achieving fast detection of the cotton bale moisture regain. This utility model uses an existing test probe to measure the moisture regain of the cotton bale. During the test process, the test probe is not only prone to tilting but also has problems such as insufficient insertion depth, affecting the accuracy of measuring the moisture regain of the cotton bale. Summary of the Utility Model

[0011] Preferably, fixing pressure holes with clearance fit are symmetrically arranged on the fixing sleeve, a fixing rotating shaft is arranged in the fixing pressure holes, and a movable fixing pressing plate is arranged on the fixing rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing pressure cylinder is arranged on the fixing sleeve, a cylinder thread is arranged in the fixing pressure cylinder, and the cylinder thread meshes with the sleeve thread arranged on the fixing sleeve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0017] (1) By arranging an adjusting baffle outside the test baffle in the present utility model, each insertion probe of the multi-point test probe is driven by the adjusting baffle to penetrate deep into the cotton bale, so as to realize the test of the moisture regain rate within the specified depth of the cotton bale. During the test, under the action of the test guiding hole on the test probe board, the insertion probe vertically penetrates into the specified depth of the cotton bale, which can effectively prevent the insertion probe from tilting during the process of inserting into the cotton bale, reduce the deviation of the test result of the moisture regain rate of the cotton bale, and improve the test accuracy of the moisture regain rate of the cotton bale.

Detailed Embodiment
[0025] The following further illustrates the present utility model through specific embodiments, but does not limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] A test structure for the moisture regain rate of a cotton bale, the structure of which is as Figures 1 - 5 shown, including a pair of test assemblies. Any one of the test assemblies includes a test baffle 1. An adjusting baffle 6 is arranged outside the test baffle 1. A multi-point test probe that cooperates with the test baffle 1 is arranged on the adjusting baffle 6. The multi-point test probe includes at least two inserted probes 3 with clearance fit. A test guiding hole 8 is arranged on the test baffle 1. The test guiding hole 8 cooperates with the inserted probe 3 and the test fixing hole 5 arranged on the adjusting baffle 6. A fixed regulator 4 that cooperates with the inserted probe 3 is arranged in the test fixing hole 5. Boosting push rods 2 with movable ends connected to the test baffle 1 are symmetrically arranged on the adjusting baffle 6.
[0028] The adjusting baffle 6 is provided with a boosting device. The boosting device includes a boosting push rod 2 arranged on the adjusting baffle 6 and connected to the testing baffle 1, and boosting shafts 7 symmetrically arranged on the side surfaces of the testing baffle 1. The boosting shafts 7 are matched with linear bearings arranged on the adjusting baffle 6.
[0029] The fixed adjuster 4 includes a fixed sleeve 9 arranged in the test fixing hole 5 and matched with the inserted probe 3; one end of the fixed sleeve 9 is provided with a fixed collar 15, and the fixed collar 15 is matched with a fixed ring groove 17 arranged in the test fixing hole 5. Symmetrically arranged on the fixed sleeve 9 are fixed pressure holes 14 with a clearance fit. A fixed rotating shaft 12 is arranged in the fixed pressure holes 14, and a movable fixed pressing plate 11 is arranged on the fixed rotating shaft 12. A fixed pressure cylinder 13 is arranged on the fixed sleeve 9, and a cylinder thread is arranged in the fixed pressure cylinder 13, and the cylinder thread is meshed with a sleeve thread 10 arranged on the fixed sleeve 9. A spring matched with the fixed pressing plate 11 is sleeved on the fixed rotating shaft 12.
[0030] One end of the fixed pressing plate 11 away from the fixed rotating shaft 12 is provided with a fixed protrusion 16 matched with the inserted probe 3. Anti-slip particles are evenly distributed on the fixed pressing plate 11.
[0031] Before use, when assembling the test assembly, the multi-point test probe is fixed on the adjusting baffle 6 by using the fixed adjuster 4. Specifically, the inserted probe 3 is fixed in the test fixing hole 5. After the inserted probe 3 is inserted into a suitable position in the test fixing hole 5, since the fixed sleeve 9 is fixed in the fixed ring groove 17 of the test fixing hole 5 through the fixed collar 15, the fixed pressure cylinder 13 is rotated. The fixed pressure cylinder 13 is meshed with the sleeve thread 10 through the cylinder thread. As the fixed pressure cylinder 13 moves towards the test fixing hole 5 side, the fixed pressure cylinder 13 presses the fixed pressing plate 11, and the fixed pressing plate 11 rotates into the fixed pressure hole 14 along the fixed rotating shaft 12. The fixed pressing plate 11 contacts the inserted probe 3, and the fixed protrusion 16 on the fixed pressing plate 11 presses the inserted probe 3. Since the thickness of the fixed pressing plate 11 gradually increases from the fixed rotating shaft 12 to the fixed collar 15, as the fixed pressure cylinder 13 continues to rotate, the fixed pressing plates 11 around the fixed sleeve 9 can tightly fix the inserted probe 3 in the fixed sleeve 9, realizing the fastening action of the inserted probe 3, which is convenient for the inserted probe 3 to penetrate to a specified depth in the cotton bale.
[0032] After the insertion probe 3 is fixed, when this test structure is in use, a pair of test components are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the cotton bale. Specifically, they are fixed on the side of the head end of the cotton bale through the test baffle 1. Temporary bundling, temporary binding and other methods can be used to fix the test baffle 1. After the fixation is completed, the power-assisted push rod 2 is activated, and the power-assisted push rod 2 contracts. The adjustment baffle 6 moves along the power-assisted shaft 7 towards the side of the test baffle 1. The insertion probe 3 vertically inserts into the cotton bale through the test probe plate along the test guide hole 8. After the power-assisted push rod 2 contracts a certain distance, the insertion probe 3 vertically inserts into the specified depth of the cotton bale, and the multi-point moisture regain test of the cotton bale starts. After the multi-point test is completed, the average value is automatically calculated, and the moisture regain rates at various positions of the cotton bale are recorded. Then, the temporary fixation of the test baffle 1 is removed, and the moisture regain test of the next cotton bale to be tested is carried out.
