Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coating testing equipment, and in particular to a sand abrasion tester for coatings. Background Technology
[0002] In the coating industry, the wear resistance of a coating is a crucial indicator, directly affecting its service life and application effect. To accurately assess the wear resistance of a coating, various wear test methods are used, the most common of which include rotary abrasion test, friction wheel method, and drop test. These methods can effectively simulate various wear conditions encountered by the coating during actual use, thus providing a scientific basis for improving coating performance and selecting materials.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209656483U, which discloses a sand drop test device. The device includes a support frame and a funnel for collecting sand, located on the upper part of the support frame. A guide tube is located below the funnel and fixed to the support frame. Sand drop switches with different apertures are installed between the funnel and the guide tube. An extended sleeve is installed at the lower end of the guide tube, and a sample placement box is located below the extended sleeve. This invention enables the sand drop abrasion tester to meet the requirements specified in various standard methods. Furthermore, the sand drop switches and guide tube are made of 304 stainless steel with a hardness of approximately 300 HV. Surface treatment technology is used to enhance the wear resistance of the sand drop switches and guide tube, increasing the service life and capabilities of the device. It can also perform sand drop tests on anodic oxide films, electrophoretic composite films, and sprayed coatings using various standard methods. However, in actual use, the above-mentioned device has the problem that, due to the influence of weather and environment, the sand poured into the sand storage box will clump unevenly. This will not only cause blockage of the conduit during the experiment, but also affect the accuracy of the experiment. Therefore, a coating sand abrasion tester is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a sand abrasion tester for coatings, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where sand agglomerates unevenly due to weather and environmental influences, leading to duct blockage.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sand abrasion tester for coatings, comprising a support frame and a sample placement box. Support plates are fixedly connected to the front side of the support frame. A conduit is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two support plates. The top end of the conduit communicates with a sand storage box. A sieve plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the sand storage box. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support frame. The output end of the servo motor passes through the rear side of the support frame and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. The front end of the rotating shaft passes through the rear side of the sand storage box and is fixedly connected to a crushing blade. A nozzle is connected to the bottom end of the conduit. Multiple dispersing plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each nozzle. A flow-stopping valve is installed at the top of the outer wall of the conduit. An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the sample placement box.
[0006] The above technical solution involves pouring sand into a sand storage tank. The sand flows continuously through a sieve plate to the bottom of the tank, while clumps of sand remain at the top. A servo motor drives a rotating shaft to rotate, where the crushing blades on the shaft surface engage with the slots on the sieve plate to break up the clumps, ensuring uniformity. Finally, a flow control valve is opened, allowing the sand to flow down through a conduit. Simultaneously, a dispersion plate inside the nozzle disperses the sand, preventing it from pooling at a single point and improving the uniformity and accuracy of the coating test.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes an electric push rod. The front side of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support frame.

A sample plate is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating component. Sliding rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the sample plate. Sliding grooves are opened on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the sample placement box. The outer walls of the two sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the sliding grooves.
[0009] The above technical solution involves placing the coating on a sample plate for testing. By activating an electric push rod, the telescopic plate is driven to slide back and forth. Under the influence of the rotating component, the rear slide bar of the sample plate slides up and down in the sliding groove, thereby adjusting the angle of the sample plate and enabling testing operations at different angles.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] A top plate is fixedly connected to the rear top of the sample placement box, and a sealing cover is rotatably connected to the front top of the sample placement box.
[0012] The above technical solution achieves a sealed environment for the sample placement box by fitting the top plate and the sealing cover together, thus preventing dust from scattering.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle.
[0015] The above technical solution allows for easy flipping of the sealing cap via a handle, while the anti-slip sleeve effectively increases friction.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] A controller is fixedly connected to the top right side of the top plate. The controller is electrically connected to the electric push rod, the servo motor and the shut-off valve.
[0018] The above technical solution allows for simple operation and control of the equipment throughout the entire system via a controller.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] An inclined flow plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the sample placement box, and a discharge port is connected to the front side of the sample placement box.
[0021] The above technical solution allows the flowing sand and gravel to be accurately collected through the discharge port via the inclined flow plate, facilitating subsequent continuous use.
[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0023] The bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to a base, and support columns are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base.
[0024] The above technical solution provides the following: the entire device is fixed and supported by a base, and the stability of the device is provided by multiple support columns.
[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0026] The left and right sides of the sample placement box are fixedly connected to connecting plates, and the top of the multiple connecting plates is provided with screw holes, and the inner walls of the multiple screw holes are threaded with bolts.
[0027] The above technical solution involves fixing the sample placement box to the base using a connecting plate to ensure the stability of the device.
[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. In this utility model, after the sand is poured into the sand storage box, the sand will continuously flow through the sieve plate to the bottom of the sand storage box. At the same time, the clumps of sand will remain at the top of the sieve plate. The servo motor drives the crushing blades to crush the clumps of sand. The flow control valve is opened to allow the sand at the bottom of the sand storage box to flow downward through the conduit. The nozzle ensures that the sand can fall evenly on the sample surface through the built-in dispersion plate. This not only avoids material blockage during the test, but is also suitable for various types of coating tests, and has high versatility and practicality.
[0030] 2. In this utility model, when the electric push rod is activated to drive the telescopic plate to slide back and forth, it will cause the rear angle of the sample plate to slide up and down. After fixing the sample coating on the sample plate, the above operation can be quickly applied to the sample effect at different angles, thus improving the applicability. Attached Figure Description

The crushing blades 10 and the slots on the sieve plate 7 are staggered, which can effectively crush the clumps. The gravel is crushed. The bottom end of the conduit 5 is connected to a nozzle 11. Multiple dispersion plates 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the nozzle 11. The nozzle 11 is located above the sample stage. The nozzle 11 ensures that the sand can be evenly dripped onto the sample surface through the built-in dispersion plates 12. A shut-off valve 13 is installed at the top of the outer wall of the conduit 5. By controlling the shut-off valve 13 to open, the gravel at the bottom of the sand storage box 6 flows downward through the conduit 5. An adjustment mechanism 2 is set inside the sample placement box 3. A top plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the sample placement box 3. A sealing cover 15 is rotatably connected to the front side of the top of the sample placement box 3.

A sieve plate 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the sand storage box 6. When sand is poured into the sand storage box 6, it flows continuously through the sieve plate 7, eventually reaching the bottom of the sand storage box 6. Meanwhile, any clumps of sand remain on the top of the sieve plate 7. The rear side of the support frame 1... A servo motor 8 is fixedly mounted, with its output end passing through the rear side of the support frame 1 and fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 9. The servo motor 8 is connected to the crushing blades 10 via this rotating shaft 9. When the servo motor 8 starts, it drives the crushing blades 10 to rotate. Simultaneously, the front end of the rotating shaft 9 passes through the rear side of the sand storage box 6 and is fixedly connected to the crushing blades 10. These crushing blades 10 interlock with the slots on the screen plate 7, thereby effectively crushing clumps of sand and gravel. The bottom end of the guide tube 5 is connected to a nozzle 11, which... Multiple dispersion plates 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall. The nozzle 11 is located above the sample stage, and the built-in dispersion plates 12 ensure that the sand can fall evenly on the sample surface.

A top plate 14 is fixed to the rear of the top of the sample placement box 3, while a sealing cover 15 is rotated on the front of the top. Before the test, the operator needs to rotate the sealing cover 15 to clamp the conduit 5 and the nozzle 11.

In addition, a baffle plate 20 is fixed in the middle of the inner wall of the sample placement box 3. The inclined angle design of the baffle plate 20 can ensure that the sand and gravel after the test can flow smoothly through the baffle plate 20 to the discharge port 19.
