Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal analyzer sample measurement, in particular to a film sample punching and loading device. Background Art
[0002] Thermal analysis instruments test physical or partial chemical changes in samples at programmed temperatures. They are widely used in research institutes, as well as in production, R&D, and quality control processes across various industries. During testing, samples of varying shapes and materials must be loaded into crucibles. Sample loading and preparation tools typically consist of spoons, scissors, and tweezers. Thin films present the greatest challenge in sample preparation. Manual shaping of thin films is difficult to achieve, making it difficult to maintain a regular and symmetrical shape. Poor morphological consistency impacts the reliability of test results, leading to reduced accuracy in material property assessments.
[0003] For example, if the sample is a thin film, especially a plastic film, it is light and thin, and easily sticks to tweezers and scissors due to electrostatic effects, making it very difficult to prepare a sample of a standard shape. At the same time, the thermal effect of thin films is very small, and it is difficult to measure a single layer. Generally, it is necessary to increase the sample size and stack multiple layers of film to enable more of the tiny thermal effects to be detected. Conventional test crucibles are round, with a diameter of approximately 5-6mm and a height of between 2-5mm. The size is very small. However, after the layers of thin film samples are stacked, the film itself has a certain elasticity. In order to adapt to the shape of the crucible, it is difficult to achieve the effect of fitting the crucible shape with conventional tools such as scissors, which affects the test results.
[0004] Therefore, we proposed a film sample punching experimental device to punch and load film samples. Utility Model Content

The square hole 309 is provided with an upper pressure plate 306 and a lower pressure plate 305 of the same shape, and the upper pressure plate 306 is provided with an interlaced hole 307. When sampling, the film is first placed between the upper pressure plate 306 and the lower pressure plate 305, and the punching component 5 punches and samples the film through the interlaced hole 307.
