AI Technical Summary
Traditional temperature calibration methods for melt flow rate measuring instruments suffer from problems such as inaccurate manual positioning, inability to obtain axial temperature gradient distribution characteristics through single-point sampling, and extended calibration cycles due to multi-location point-by-point measurements.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plastics production, especially relates to a melt flow detection appliance for plastics production. BACKGROUND
[0002] Melt flow rate tester (abbreviated as melt index tester) as one of the core equipment of polymer material processing performance evaluation, is widely used in the melt index detection of polyethylene, nylon, polycarbonate, fluoroplastic and other high molecular materials. In the detection process, the uniformity and stability of the temperature field of the cylinder directly affect the accuracy of the test results, so the temperature calibration link becomes the technical basis for ensuring the measurement accuracy of the instrument.
[0003] The traditional calibration method uses a contact thermometer to measure the temperature at a single point. The operator needs to insert the temperature probe into different depth positions of the cylinder for discrete measurement. This method has the following technical defects: first, manual positioning cannot accurately control the insertion depth of the thermometer, resulting in spatial deviation between the measurement point and the standard position; second, single-point sampling cannot obtain the axial temperature gradient distribution characteristics, which hides the non-uniformity of the cylinder thermal field; third, multiple-point measurement at multiple positions prolongs the calibration period and increases the instrument downtime. Therefore, further improvement is needed. SUMMARY
