[0002] Plastic products are a general term for household and industrial goods made primarily from plastics. This includes products manufactured using processes such as injection molding and thermoforming. Plastics are a type of synthetic polymer material with plasticity. The production of plastic products requires testing their surface hardness to understand the material's deformation capacity under certain conditions. This is crucial for assessing the material's lifespan and its tensile, compressive, and flexural properties. Hardness testing equipment is indispensable for testing the surface hardness of plastic products.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220794926U discloses a surface hardness testing device for engineering plastic products, including a testing machine base and a testing frame.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 A surface hardness testing device for plastic products includes a base 1 with a telescopic cavity 9 inside. The telescopic cavities 9 are evenly distributed along the interior of the base 1. A support column 2 is installed inside the telescopic cavity 9, and a limit block 8 is fixedly installed below the support column 2. The shape and size of the limit block 8 partially match the shape and size of the interior of the telescopic cavity 9, and the limit block 8 can move inside the telescopic cavity 9. A piston 12 is installed below the limit block 8. The shape and size of the piston 12 match the shape and size of the interior of the telescopic cavity 9, and the piston 12 is in close contact with the telescopic cavity 9. A return spring 13 is installed below the piston 12. The support column 2 is elastically connected to the telescopic cavity 9 through the return spring 13, and the support column 2 can move inside the telescopic cavity 9. A pipe 10 is installed below the telescopic cavity 9. An electrically controlled valve 11 is installed below the pipe 10; the electrically controlled valve 11 is connected to the telescopic cavity 9 through the pipe 10; by setting several vertically retractable support columns 2, a groove matching the shape of the plastic product is formed in the support column 2, so as to restrict the plastic product inside the groove, which facilitates the restriction and hardness testing of plastic products of different shapes and sizes, and improves the testing efficiency; a bracket 6 is installed above the base 1, an electric push rod 5 is installed above the bracket 6, a CUI measuring probe 3 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 5, a diamond indenter 7 is installed below the CUI measuring probe 3, a laser module 14 is installed inside the diamond indenter 7, a PDA terminal 4 is installed at the front end of the bracket 6, and the CUI measuring probe 3 is electrically connected to the PDA terminal 4.

[0021] Working Principle: When using this plastic product surface hardness testing device, the plastic product to be tested is first placed on the support column 2. Then, the controller controls the laser module 14 to emit a laser to locate the testing point. The plastic product adjusts its position according to the laser. After adjustment, the plastic product is pressed down, causing it to compress part of the support column 2 into the telescopic cavity 9. During this process, some gas inside the telescopic cavity 9 is discharged through the pipe 10 and the electrically controlled valve 11, thus forming a groove that matches the plastic product among the many support columns 2. Next, the controller controls the electrically controlled valve 11 to close, creating a sealed environment inside the telescopic cavity 9, thereby fixing the support column 2 and maintaining the formed groove. Then, the controller controls the electric push rod 5 to push the CUI measuring probe 3 and the diamond indenter below it. 7. The device moves downward a certain distance to contact the surface of the plastic product. The ultrasonic hardness tester consists of a handheld PDA terminal 4 and a CUI measuring probe 3, which are connected by a cable. The diamond indenter 7 at the front end of the hardness tester contacts the plastic product. Under uniform contact pressure, the resonant frequency of the probe changes with the hardness. The hardness is measured by measuring the change in this frequency. The PDA terminal 4, the CUI measuring probe 3, and the diamond indenter 7 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Then, when it is necessary to test plastic products of different shapes and sizes, the controller controls the electric valve 11 to open. Under the elastic force of the return spring 13, the support column 2 is pushed upward to the original position. Finally, the same operation is repeated to create a matching groove. This is the working principle of the plastic product surface hardness testing device.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
