Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical metrology technology. More specifically, this utility model relates to an adhesion tester calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] A paint film adhesion tester is an instrument used to evaluate the adhesion strength between a paint film and a substrate. In the coatings industry, to ensure the quality of these coating products, it is necessary to accurately measure paint film adhesion to ensure that the coating can firmly adhere to the surface of objects in different application scenarios. For example, the coating requirements in fields such as automobiles, ships, and construction are becoming increasingly stringent, placing higher demands on the accuracy and reliability of paint film adhesion testers. In industries such as machinery manufacturing and electronic equipment manufacturing, the coating quality of product surfaces directly affects the product's appearance, corrosion resistance, and service life. For example, the coating of mobile phone casings and home appliance casings requires precise adhesion testing to ensure that the paint film does not peel off during use. This necessitates the calibration of the tester to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
[0003] Most existing calibration methods for paint adhesion testers employ reaction frame auxiliary equipment and refer to the calibration methods for working force gauges, which are inconsistent with the actual working conditions of the paint adhesion tester. On the one hand, this results in calibration results that fail to reflect the actual state of the equipment, leading to a lack of accuracy. On the other hand, paint adhesion testers with built-in lever stroke cannot be calibrated using reaction frame auxiliary equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] One object of this invention is to solve at least the aforementioned problems and / or defects, and to provide at least the advantages described below.
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adhesion tester calibration device, which is designed for...

[0021] First, the adhesion tester calibration device of this utility model connects the spindle of the adhesion tester to the standard force measuring instrument through replaceable connectors and connectors. This design ensures that during the calibration process, the tension is transmitted from the tension rod of the adhesion tester through the connectors and connectors to the standard force measuring instrument. The entire force transmission path is consistent with the tension transmission method of the adhesion tester when actually measuring the adhesion of the paint film, ensuring that the force situation during the calibration process truly reflects the actual working state.
[0022] Secondly, the adhesion tester calibration device of this utility model achieves relative fixation and coaxial force through reasonable structural design, ensuring that the line of action of the force coincides with the direction of the tensile force during actual operation, avoiding the generation of additional component force due to force deviation, thereby ensuring that the force value measured by the standard force measuring instrument accurately reflects the real tensile force applied by the adhesion tester and improving the accuracy of the calibration results.
[0023] Third, this utility model's adhesion tester calibration device uses replaceable connectors to customize and match connectors for various sizes of spindles, allowing the calibration device to be tightly connected to different models of adhesion testers. This ensures that regardless of the brand of adhesion tester used, the calibration device can accurately simulate its actual working mode for directional calibration, avoiding calibration errors caused by mismatched connections and ensuring that the calibration results truly reflect the performance of the testing instrument.
[0024] Fourth, the adhesion meter calibration device of this utility model can adapt to ground with different flatness by setting a support foot assembly including a support foot body, multiple support feet and multiple anti-slip pads, ensuring that the calibration device always remains horizontal and stable, thus improving the overall stability.

By adjusting the length and connection angle of the connecting rods, it is possible to adapt to the spatial layout and tensile force application direction of different adhesion testers, further ensuring the consistency between the calibration process and the actual working method, and improving the accuracy of calibration.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an adhesion tester calibration device, comprising:
[0038] A hollow loading fixture 1 has an internal cavity structure, and a first connecting hole 100 is provided on the top of the hollow loading fixture 1.
[0039] The standard force gauge 2 is vertically installed inside the hollow loading fixture 1 and its two sides do not contact the inner wall of the hollow loading fixture 1;
[0040] Connector 3, which is connected to the top of the standard force gauge 2 and passes through the first connection hole 100;
[0041] The connector 4 has one end detachably connected to the connector 3 and the other end connected to the adhesion tester, so as to achieve coaxial force distribution between the adhesion tester and the standard force measuring instrument 2.
[0042] In the above technical solution, the hollow loading fixture 1 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength, thus improving the portability and stability of the calibration device. The top and bottom of the hollow loading fixture 1 are squares with sides of 84 mm, and the height is 124 mm. The interior of the hollow loading fixture 1 is designed as a rectangular cavity with a width of 60 mm and a height of 100 mm. A first connecting hole with a diameter of 20 mm is machined at the center of the top for the connector 3 to pass through. The standard force gauge 2 is a high-precision standard force gauge with a range of 0–500 N and an accuracy of ±0.1% FS. Its height is 100 mm, ensuring it can be placed vertically within the cavity of the hollow loading fixture and maintain a certain gap with the inner wall of the fixture to avoid affecting measurement accuracy due to friction or collision with the inner wall of the fixture during measurement. Connector 3: One end is tightly connected to the threaded hole on the top of the standard force gauge via a thread, and the other end passes through the first connecting hole 100 of the hollow loading fixture 1 for connecting the connector 4. Connector 4: Based on the spindle design of common adhesion testers, one end is machined with an external thread that matches the connector 3 for detachable connection with the connector 3; the other end is designed with a spherical structure that is compatible with the adhesion tester spindle to ensure a tight connection with the adhesion tester and achieve coaxial force distribution between the two.
[0043] Assembly process:
[0044] Carefully place the standard force gauge 2 vertically into the cavity of the hollow loading fixture 1, ensuring it is centered and not in contact with the fixture. Use connector 3 to connect the top of the standard force gauge 2 to the top of the hollow loading fixture 1. Pass the smaller diameter end of connector 3 through the first connecting hole 100 and tighten it with threads to secure it to the threaded hole on the top of the standard force gauge 2. Connect one end of connector 4 to the exposed end of connector 3 with threads and tighten it. Then connect the other end of connector 4 to the adhesion meter according to the matching spindle to complete the assembly of the entire adhesion meter calibration device.

[0047] Turn on the standard force gauge to put it into working condition, and set the measurement parameters and data recording method.
[0048] Install the adhesion tester on connector 4, set the spindle diameter and other relevant parameters, set the pressure value to the upper limit of the measurement range, and start the adhesion tester to run 3 times. Then, set the pressure according to the specifications or customer requirements, start the equipment, and record the pressure value displayed on the equipment and the force value of the standard force gauge. Repeat the measurement 3 times for each pressure point.
[0049] By comparing and analyzing the actual force value recorded by the standard force gauge 2 with the measured value displayed by the adhesion tester, the measurement error of the adhesion tester under different force values is calculated.
[0050] Based on the measurement error, the adhesion meter should be calibrated and adjusted accordingly, such as by adjusting the internal calibration parameters of the instrument or replacing the sensor, so that the measurement accuracy of the adhesion meter meets the requirements.

[0078] Dimensions and Structure: The outer diameter of the support leg is machined to match the internal threaded hole of the support leg body, that is, the outer diameter is slightly smaller than the major diameter of the M8 thread, ensuring smooth screwing into the threaded hole. The support leg is 80 mm long, with an external thread of 20 mm length machined at one end to match the threaded hole; the other end is welded with a 30 mm diameter circular adjustment knob for easy manual adjustment of the support leg height by the user.
[0079] Preparation of anti-slip mats:
[0080] Material selection: Nitrile rubber is used to make the anti-slip mat. Nitrile rubber has good anti-slip properties and wear resistance, which can effectively prevent the calibration device from sliding during operation.
[0081] Size and Installation: The anti-slip mat is designed as a circle with a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 5mm. Apply strong adhesive evenly to the bottom of each support foot, then accurately attach the anti-slip mat to the bottom of the support foot, ensuring a firm bond without air bubbles or curling edges.
