Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal analyzer experiments, in particular to a quantitative sample loader for trace powder samples used in crucibles. Background Art
[0002] Thermal analysis instruments are instruments that test the physical or partial chemical properties of samples under programmed temperature. They are widely used in research institutes and in production, R&D, and quality control tests in various industries. During testing, samples of various shapes and materials need to be loaded into a crucible, but the only tools for loading and preparing samples are spoons, scissors, and tweezers. For powder samples, due to the small capacity of the crucible and the crucible mouth diameter of only 5-6mm, it is difficult to control the loading amount with a sample spoon, making it difficult to ensure consistent quantitative measurement each time. Standardized testing cannot be performed, and reliable and comparable valid data cannot be obtained. In addition, the cost of developing and preparing many samples is very high, but because the crucible is too small, samples often spill during the loading process, causing waste and adding unnecessary economic and time costs.
