[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0031] A texture analyzer for testing hair friction probe, comprising:
[0032] texture analyzer fixing platform 5;
[0033] hair friction test platform 6, the hair friction test platform 6 is located at the upper end of the texture analyzer fixing platform 5;
[0034] two support frames 7, both of the two support frames 7 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the hair friction test platform 6;
[0035] two limiting rods 8, the two limiting rods 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the closer ends of the two support frames 7;
[0036] fixed friction head 10, the fixed friction head 10 is fixedly connected to one side end of one of the support frames 7;
[0037] slider 9, the slider 9 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the two limiting rods 8;
[0038] movable friction head 13, the movable friction head 13 is fixedly connected to one side end of the slider 9;
[0039] force sensing element 1, the force sensing element 1 is located above the slider 9;
[0040] The wedge-shaped connecting member 11 is provided at the lower end of the force sensing element 1;
[0041] The hair fixing clamp 12 is connected to the force sensing element 1 through the wedge-shaped connecting member 11.
[0042] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the texture analyzer fixed platform 5 serves as a base to provide stable support and ensure the stability of the structure during the test. The hair friction test platform 6 directly bears the hair sample and all components during the test, and is located above the fixed platform for easy operation and adjustment. The two support frames 7 are symmetrically arranged to support the limit rod 8 to ensure the structural stability. The limit rod 8 is installed at the closer ends of the support frames 7 to ensure the accuracy of the linear movement of the fixed friction head 10. When the fixed friction head 10 contacts the hair sample, its position remains unchanged to generate a constant friction interface. The slider 9 slides along the limit rod 8 to carry the moving friction head 13 to move, ensuring the smooth movement of the moving friction head during the friction test. The moving friction head 13 contacts the hair sample and generates relative movement, and the friction force is measured by the change in force caused by its movement. The force sensing element 1 is connected to the slider 9 through the wedge-shaped connecting member 11 to monitor the force on the moving friction head 13 in real time. The wedge-shaped connecting member 11 not only transmits force but also plays a certain adjustment role to ensure the accurate measurement of force. The hair fixing clamp 12 is used to fix the hair sample to ensure the consistency of the position and tension of the hair sample during the test. The hair friction texture analyzer probe design can accurately measure the friction force of the hair, providing strong data support for the development of hair care products. When the moving friction head 13 moves linearly under the guidance of the limit rod 8, it will generate relative friction with the hair sample, resulting in a change in the force detected by the force sensing element 1.
[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 One side end of one of the support frames 7 is fixedly connected with a pulley bracket 3, and two pulley wheels 4 are rotatably connected to one side of the pulley bracket 3 through a rotating rod;
[0044] A weight 2 is provided below the pulley bracket 3, and a hanging ring 14 is fixedly connected to one side end of the slider 9.
[0045] In this embodiment: The surface of the support frame 7 has a circular through-hole to facilitate the nylon rope to pass through. The hanging ring 14 is used to connect the nylon rope and transmit the pulling force of the weight 2 to the slider 9, ensuring that a predetermined force can be stably applied when the movable friction head 13 conducts a friction force test. The pulley bracket 3 is used to support the spool 4. The spool 4 is used to hang the weight 2 by the traction of the nylon rope, ensuring that the vertical movement of the movable friction head 13 will not be affected by lateral forces when measuring the hair friction force, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. The weight 2 is used to generate a constant downward pulling force to ensure that the hair sample maintains a consistent tension during the measurement process and avoid errors caused by gravity changes.
[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , and the material of the support frame 7 is steel.
[0047] In this embodiment: Steel can provide sufficient supporting force to avoid deformation due to external forces during the test, which affects the measurement accuracy. The steel material has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain the structural integrity even during frequent use and long-term exposure to the laboratory environment, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , and the support frame 7 and the limit rod 8 are fixed by bolts.
[0049] In this embodiment: The bolt connection can be adjusted according to requirements, and at the same time, it can adapt to hair samples of different lengths or conduct different types of tests. The bolt fixation provides reliable connection strength.
[0050] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: first, fix the hair friction force test platform 6 on the fixed platform 5 of the texture analyzer, move the slider 9 to separate the movable friction head 13 from the fixed friction head 10, then evenly distribute the hair sample on the hair fixing fixture 12, then place the hair fixing fixture 12 on the wedge-shaped connecting piece 11, then place the hair into the fixed friction head 10, push the slider 9 to make the movable friction head 13 press the hair, and finally, hang the weight 2 on the I-shaped wheel 4 to generate a constant pressure between the movable friction head 13 and the fixed friction head 10. When the friction coefficient of the hair is constant, the friction force between the hair and the friction head is proportional to the preload force. Proportional relationship, by increasing the preload, the friction of the hair can be effectively amplified. When comparing different samples, the preload is constant, and the friction between the hair and the friction head is only proportional to the friction coefficient of the hair. The greater the friction, the greater the friction coefficient of the hair, that is, the rougher the hair, to ensure the consistency of the position and tension of the hair sample during the test. The design of the hair friction texture analyzer probe can accurately measure the friction of the hair, providing strong data support for the development of hair care products. When the movable friction head 13 moves in a straight line under the guidance of the limit rod 8, it will produce relative friction with the hair sample, causing the force detected by the force sensor 1 to change.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
