Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of detection device design, and particularly relates to an in-situ measurement device for equilibrium moisture absorption capacity. Background Technique

[0002] The moisture absorption test of composite materials is to expose the materials to a specified environment and evaluate the moisture absorption state of the materials according to the change of mass with the exposure time. It is an accelerated moisture absorption method that simulates the moisture absorption process of materials in the natural environment. Generally, it is divided into two methods: steam infiltration and liquid immersion.

[0003] According to the regulations of the HB7401-2021 test method, the steps for moisture absorption using the steam infiltration method are as follows:

[0004] a) Initially weigh the specimen, record the mass of the specimen before moisture absorption pretreatment as the reference mass for moisture absorption, Wb, and place the specimen into a moisture absorption infiltration box that has been stabilized to the specified temperature.

[0005] b) Weigh the specimen at specified time intervals. Record each measurement result Wi.

[0006] c) After each time the specimen is taken out of the infiltration box, it should be placed into a specimen bag and cooled in the laboratory environment.

[0007] d) Take the specimen out of the specimen bag, wipe off the surface moisture with a wiping cloth and then weigh it until the last time. The time for taking the specimen out of the humid heat box for each weighing should not exceed 30 min, and the time for taking the specimen out of the specimen bag for each weighing should not exceed 5 min.

[0008] e) Calculate and record the mass percentage change for each time interval until the mass percentage reaches the specified moisture absorption equilibrium.

[0009] f) Calculate the moisture absorption capacity.

[0010] g) After the specimen reaches the effective moisture absorption equilibrium, take it out of the moisture absorption infiltration box, put it into a specimen bag together with a wet cloth, and store it in the laboratory environment. The storage time should not exceed 14 d.

[0011] In actual work, there are some deficiencies when using this method for moisture absorption tests. First, during the moisture absorption process, each interval weighing requires taking the test piece out of the infiltration box, and the process of opening the box door will cause a large fluctuation in the box environment. Second, water droplets will condense on the surface of the specimen taken out of the infiltration box, and it needs to be wiped before weighing. If the wiping effect is not good, it will lead to a large error in the weighing result. Third, when the number of specimens to be tested is large, to ensure that the weighing time does not exceed the requirements specified by the standard, the box needs to be opened multiple times and weighed in batches. Content of the Utility Model

[0012] Objective of the present utility model: To provide a device for in-situ measurement of equilibrium moisture absorption, so as to solve the problems of environmental fluctuations inside the infiltration box caused by opening it during each interval weighing, condensation on the surface of the specimen, and short weighing time, reducing the weighing error and improving the weighing efficiency.

[0013] Technical solution of the present utility model:

[0014] A device for in-situ measurement of equilibrium moisture absorption, comprising: a hook, a wire rope, a bracket, an infiltration box, and multiple fixed pulleys;

[0015] The bracket is T-shaped, the vertical end of the bracket is set on the ground, one end of the horizontal end of the bracket extends into the infiltration box from the opening of the infiltration box and is connected to fixed pulley A, and the other end of the bracket is also connected to a fixed pulley B. The axis connection line of fixed pulley A and fixed pulley B is horizontally arranged;

[0016] One end of the wire rope bypasses fixed pulley A and extends into the infiltration box and is connected to the hook, and the specimen to be tested is vertically connected to the hook;

[0017] The other end of the wire rope bypasses fixed pulley B and is connected to the measurement unit, and the moisture absorption of the specimen to be tested is measured through the measurement unit.

[0018] Further, the measurement unit is a force sensor.

[0019] Further, the setting direction of the force sensor is the vertical direction. The force sensor is connected to a computer through a cable, and the weight data of the specimen to be tested collected is transmitted to the computer in real time for display.

[0020] Further, the measurement unit is a weight and an electronic scale;

[0021] The mass of the weight is more than twice the mass of the specimen to be tested;

[0022] The weight is connected to one end of the wire rope, and the weight is placed on the electronic scale;

[0023] The change in the weight of the weight is measured through the electronic scale to measure the moisture absorption of the specimen to be tested.

[0024] Further, the device further comprises fixed pulley C and fixed pulley D;

[0025] The axis connection line of fixed pulley C and fixed pulley D is parallel to the axis connection line of fixed pulley A and fixed pulley B and is located below fixed pulley A and fixed pulley B;

[0026] One end of the wire rope connected to the measurement unit bypasses fixed pulley B and then bypasses fixed pulley C and fixed pulley D in sequence and is connected to one end of a balance. The other end of the balance is weighed through a weight;

[0027] The connecting point between the wire rope and one end of the balance and the tangent point of the fixed pulley D are parallel to the tangent point of the wire rope and the fixed pulley B and the fixed pulley C, and are perpendicular to the axis connection line of the fixed pulley C and the fixed pulley D, and the axis connection line of the fixed pulley A and the fixed pulley B.

[0028] Furthermore, the wire rope is a non-water-absorbing wire rope.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:

[0030] A balance moisture absorption in-situ measurement device provided by the present utility model is simple and convenient to operate. During the weighing process, it is not necessary to open the infiltration box, which avoids the fluctuation of the internal environment of the box and improves the accuracy of moisture absorption detection.

[0031] When weighing the sample, there will be no condensation on the surface, reducing the steps of wiping the surface moisture, improving the detection efficiency, and reducing the error introduced by the surface moisture.

[0032] The sample does not need to be measured at room temperature, which can avoid situations such as the weighing time exceeding the standard requirements when there are too many samples, and improve the accuracy of detection. Description of the drawings
