TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to DSC test sample preparation technical field, specifically relates to a crucible pressing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a kind of thermal analysis method, used to measure the relationship between the power difference input to sample and reference and temperature under the program control temperature. This technology is widely used in material science, chemistry, pharmacy and other fields, and the method generates DSC curve by recording the rate of sample heat absorption or heat release (i.e. heat flow rate), which can provide various thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, such as specific heat capacity, reaction heat, transition heat, phase diagram, reaction rate, crystallization rate, polymer crystallinity and sample purity, etc.
[0003] Traditional sample preparation process is complicated and inefficient, and manual piercing of crucible cap is required, then the crucible, sample and crucible cap are placed one by one, and then pressed. This operation method not only consumes time and effort, but also has many uncontrollable factors. For example, the hole position and size of the crucible cap piercing hole are often difficult to keep consistent, which will cause the heat flow data of the sample to fluctuate in DSC test, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test results. In addition, the pressing degree of the crucible and the crucible cap also has differences, and such differences will also adversely affect the test results.
[0004] At the same time, due to the small volume of DSC test sample, precise balance, tweezers or dropper and other fine tools are usually used for sampling. When batch sampling is prepared, researchers need to frequently switch between sampling, crucible pressing and other work links, which not only greatly reduces the sampling efficiency, but also increases the risk of operation errors.
[0005] Patent CN217277211U discloses an automatic rebound type small crucible piercing hole pressing device, which can ensure the size consistency of the crucible cap piercing hole to a certain extent, thereby reducing the test data fluctuation caused by hole difference, however, it cannot solve the problem of inconsistent pressing degree of the crucible when repeated sampling, and cannot effectively improve the overall efficiency of DSC sampling.
