To reduce the measurement time of the test isotherm data points, we designed a multi-module parallel measurement device. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed on” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0021] It should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation as described in the specification. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 5In an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-module parallel measurement device includes six physical adsorption instrument test and analysis modules 3 that are communicatively connected to a computer 1 through a network switch 2. The physical adsorption instrument test and analysis module 3 includes a shell 4, both sides of which are fixedly connected to side panels 5, and adjacent side panels 5 of adjacent physical adsorption instrument test and analysis modules 3 are fixedly connected to each other. A sample tube 6 and a saturated pressure measuring tube 7 are installed on the front side of the shell 4, and a tray 8 is provided on the bottom case of the front side of the shell 4.

[0024] By adopting the above solution, the utility model, when in use:

[0025] 1. Task Decomposition: First, break down the complex experiment to be measured into multiple modules or subtasks (for example, the physical adsorption instrument test and analysis of the specific surface area of ​​the material requires testing five data points between relative pressures of 0.05 and 0.3, and the pore volume requires testing a data point at 0.98 or 0.99. These six data points are considered six subtasks, and each physical adsorption instrument test and analysis module 3 is assigned a subtask, meaning each module tests one data point for each subtask). Each module or subtask is relatively independent and can be measured independently. The final measurement results can be combined to form the overall result through data aggregation.

[0026] 2. Design a measurement plan: Design a corresponding measurement plan for each module or subtask. The measurement plan should take into account the characteristics of the physical adsorption instrument test and analysis module 3 or subtask and select appropriate methods and parameters.

[0027] 3. Parallel measurement: Multiple physical adsorption instrument test analysis modules 3 or subtasks perform measurements in parallel. By using multi-module equipment for parallel measurement, the measurement time is significantly reduced and the measurement efficiency is improved.

[0028] 4. Result merging: After the parallel measurement is completed, the measurement results of each subtask are merged to obtain the overall measurement result. The method of result merging is determined according to the specific task.

[0029] 5. Result verification: Finally, the overall measurement results are verified to ensure their accuracy and reliability. Verification methods may include comparison with other measurement methods, repeated measurements, etc.

[0030] Specific combination Figure 2-4In one embodiment of the present invention, the top and both sides of the adjacent side panels 5 are jointly sleeved with U-shaped blocks 25, and the outer walls of the side panels 5 and the corresponding positions of the U-shaped blocks 25 are provided with through holes 24. A countersunk screw 26 is installed through the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped block 25, and a threaded hole 16 is opened at the outer wall of the other side of the U-shaped block 25 and the corresponding position of the countersunk screw 26. The threaded end of the countersunk screw 26 passes through the corresponding through hole 24 and is connected with the threaded hole 16.

[0031] By setting the U-shaped block 25, the two adjacent side panels 5 can be locked by utilizing the countersunk screw 26 in conjunction with the threaded hole 16 and the through hole 24, thereby achieving mutual fixation of two adjacent physical adsorption instrument test and analysis modules 3. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is easy for users to assemble it themselves.

[0032] Specific combination Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present utility model, a main line 10 is fixedly installed in the housing 4. One end of the main line 10 is connected to a vacuum pump connector 20 through a solenoid valve 12. The other end of the main line 10 is connected to a tee pipe 21 through the solenoid valve 12. The two air inlet ends of the tee pipe 21 are respectively connected to an adsorption gas connector 22 and a dead volume measurement gas connector 23 through the solenoid valve 12.

[0033] Furthermore, the gas quantitative tube 18 is connected to the main line 10, and the main line 10 is connected to a first branch pipe 11 and a second branch pipe 15. The end of the first branch pipe 11 away from the main line 10 is connected to a sample pipe joint 13 through a solenoid valve 12, and the end of the second branch pipe 15 away from the main line 10 is connected to a pressure measuring pipe joint 17 through a solenoid valve 12.
