[0015] Figure 1 is a synthetic material sports field surface layer rubber particle pre-pressing instrument schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The synthetic material sports field surface layer rubber particle pre-pressing instrument of the present application is suitable for all types of sports field and synthetic material surface layer rubber particles used on the footpath, including but not limited to bottom layer rubber particles, surface layer rubber particles and filling rubber particles used in synthetic material surface layer.
[0017] Figure 1A synthetic material sports ground surface layer rubber particle pre-pressing instrument is shown, which comprises: a visual safety window 1, a pressure sensor 2, an upper jig 3, a particle container 4, a lower jig 5, a lead screw 6, and a stepping motor 7.
[0018] The upper jig 3 and the lower jig 5 assist in positioning the particle container 4 and compressing the rubber particles in the particle container 4. The particle container 4 is cylindrical and is used to contain the rubber particles. The lower jig 5 is located at the bottom of the particle container 4. The testing table 13 of the instrument has a pair of guide rails 12, and the lower jig 5 can slide on the guide rails 12 to adjust the position of the particle container 4 to align with the upper jig 3. That is, the lower jig 5 is a sliding block matched with the guide rails 12. In an embodiment, the lower jig 5 is a part extending from the bottom of the particle container 4, that is, the particle container lower jig 5 is integrated with the particle container 4.
[0019] The lead screw 6 is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the testing table 13, and is driven by the stepping motor 7. In an embodiment, the lead screw 6 adopts a C5 grade grinding lead screw. The nut of the lead screw 6 is connected with a horizontally arranged main shaft, and the upper jig 3 located above the particle container 4 is installed on the main shaft. The pressure sensor 2 is arranged between the upper jig 3 and the main shaft. Under the driving of the stepping motor 7, the lead screw 6 can drive the upper jig 3 to enter the particle container 4 to pre-press the rubber particles, the pressure sensor 2 senses the pressure, and after the pre-pressing is completed, the lead screw 6 drives the upper jig 3 to retreat and separate from the rubber particles. In terms of appearance, the upper jig 3 is generally cylindrical.
[0020] The upper jig 3, the particle container 4, the lower jig 5, and the testing table 13 can be made of stainless steel.
[0021] The instrument also includes a control system, which controls the movement of the upper jig 3 and the pressure of the upper jig 3 on the rubber particles. The control system comprises a controller, an encoder, a limit switch, a stepping motor driving circuit, an emergency stop switch 9, an operation button 10, and a display screen 11. The controller is connected with the limit switch, the stepping motor driving circuit, the emergency stop switch 9, the operation button 10, and the display screen 11 to collect signals or control each part.
[0022] The controller is configured to perform the following steps: sending a signal to the stepping motor driving circuit to make the lead screw 6 drive the upper jig 3 to enter the particle container 4 to pre-press the rubber particles, sensing the pressure through the pressure sensor 2, making the lead screw 6 drive the upper jig 3 to retreat when the pre-pressing time and the pressure reach the set value (the rubber particles will rebound), monitoring the rotation number and angle of the lead screw 6 by using the encoder, calculating the distance of the retreat of the upper jig 3 based on the lead pitch of the lead screw 6 and the rotation number and angle data of the lead screw 6 collected by the encoder when the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor 2 is 0 (that is, the upper jig 3 separates from the rubber particles), and comparing the rebound value with a reference value to obtain the equivalent elasticity of the rubber particles.
[0023] The resilience (equivalent elasticity) of the synthetic material sports surface layer rubber granules is calculated according to formula (1), with data accurate to two decimal places.
[0024]
[0025] In the formula: R m Resilience of the synthetic material rubber granules, in %, H f is the rebound height (rebound value), in mm; H i is the reference value of the equivalent elasticity, in mm. In one embodiment, the reference value H i is 22.75 mm, the relative height of the granules with a mass of 30 g, a particle size of 1.8 mm to 2.2 mm, and a rubber content of 20% after pre-pressing at 100 kg in a container with a diameter of 50 mm.
[0026] In another embodiment, the upper jig is first pre-pressed at a certain speed using a first standard pressure for a set period of time, then stopped and waits for a set period of time, and then pre-pressed at a certain speed using a second standard pressure for a set period of time. For example, first pre-press the rubber granules at a speed of 300 mm / min using a pressure of 100 kg, wait for 60 s, then raise the upper jig to a set distance and wait for 60 s, then pre-press the rubber granules at a speed of 300 mm / min using a pressure of 70 kg, and finally measure the rebound value of the rubber granules.
[0027] Limit switches are arranged at the two limit positions of the up-and-down movement of the upper jig 3. When the limit switches sense that the upper jig 3 has moved to the limit position, the controller sends a command to the stepper motor drive circuit to stop the movement of the upper jig 3, so as to avoid collision and damage to the pressure sensor 2, the upper jig 3, the granule container 4, etc.
[0028] When the emergency stop switch 9 is pressed, the controller sends a command to the stepper motor drive circuit to stop the movement of the upper jig 3.
[0029] The operation keys 10 can be multiple, including but not limited to: keys for adjusting the distance of the upward movement of the upper jig 3, keys for adjusting the distance of the downward movement of the upper jig 3, keys for adjusting the pre-pressing pressure of the rubber granules by the upper jig 3, and keys for adjusting the pre-pressing time of the rubber granules by the upper jig 3.
[0030] The display screen 11 displays a combination of one or more of the following information, including but not limited to: the pre-pressing pressure of the rubber granules, the pre-pressing time of the rubber granules, the reference value, the rebound value of the rubber granules, the equivalent elasticity of the rubber granules, and the movement speed of the upper jig.
[0031] The instrument can also be connected to a computer, on which the movement of the upper fixture is controlled, for example the position of the upper fixture, the pre-pressing force of the rubber particles, the pre-pressing time of the rubber particles. The information displayed on the display screen 11 can also be transmitted to the computer for display and storage.
[0032] In addition, the bottom of the instrument is provided with a base 8. In order to ensure the safety of the test, a fence is arranged around the test table 13, and a visible safety window 1 which can be opened is left on the fence, through which the user can observe the test process, and the visible safety window 1 can be opened to take and place the particle container 4.
