TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to plant material research technology, concretely is a kind of ultrasonic wave multi-lignin plant material creep testing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The multi-lignin plant formed in agricultural production such as caragana and straw is usually loose accumulation, which brings inconvenience to intensive agricultural production, large-scale collection and transportation and storage. For example, after rubbing and crushing, the multi-lignin plant such as caragana forms a filamentous material with a length of about 80 mm and a diameter of 2 mm-6 mm. After separating the cellulose and lignin, the forage intake rate of livestock can be improved. Therefore, rubbing and crushing is of great significance for animals to further absorb nutrients. However, the loose structure after rubbing and crushing is not conducive to commercialization, and the conversion rate of the rubbed and crushed material to cellulose ethanol during fermentation is low, which is not conducive to the full absorption of nutrients by livestock. Therefore, further compression treatment of the rubbed and crushed material is particularly necessary.
[0003] When compressing the material, the temperature, density and other parameters during the creep process of the material are in dynamic change. The amount of pressure applied and the time when the optimal compression state is reached are in the stage of exploration. Moreover, there are many multi-lignin plants that can be used as livestock feed, and the creep characteristics of different materials are different. During the compression process, the parameters in the compression creep of different materials do not follow the same change trend. Therefore, the present application aims to provide a technology for testing the creep characteristics of plant materials during compression, so as to help researchers find the most energy-saving and best compression parameters for different types of materials. Based on this, the plant materials can be compressed scientifically, the relatively dispersed materials can be collected, treated and transported, the use cost can be reduced, the utilization rate can be improved, and the planting industry chain can be extended.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieves technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.
[0020] Figures 1-2 For an embodiment of the present application, an ultrasonic multi-lignin plant material creep test device, the test device comprises a test bench 1, a mounting frame 3 is fixedly arranged on the tabletop of the test bench 1, the mounting frame 3 has a cylinder mounting arm on the front side, a data acquisition module 14 and a power supply assembly 13 are arranged on the back of the mounting frame 3, in addition, the test device further comprises an upper computer (not shown), and the upper computer takes a computer as a carrier. Figure 1 As can be seen, the air cylinder 5 is longitudinally mounted on the cylinder mounting arm, the ultrasonic device 6 is mounted on the lower part of the telescopic shaft, and the material compression bin 2 is arranged directly below the air cylinder 5. The inner cavity of the material compression bin 2 used in the embodiment is a vertical space with equal cross sections, such as a cube or a cylinder. The top of the material compression bin 2 is open and is provided with a pressure cover plate 17 matching the inner cavity. The aforementioned ultrasonic device 6 is connected to the middle part of the pressure cover plate 17 through the lower part of the amplitude bar 8, so that the test device can convert high-frequency ultrasonic waves into ultrasonic high-frequency vibration during the compression process, and the high-frequency vibration pressure is transmitted to the pressure cover plate 17 through the amplitude bar 8.
[0021] The aforementioned test device extrudes the material through the air cylinder 5 during work. The air cylinder 5 is connected to the electromagnetic reversing valve 7 arranged on one side of the mounting frame 3 through a high-pressure air pipe. The electromagnetic reversing valve 7 is connected to the air treatment triplex kit 12 arranged on the test bench 1. The electromagnetic reversing valve 7 is connected to the upper computer and is controlled by the upper computer to control the working state of the electromagnetic reversing valve 7, and further control the working state of the air cylinder 5. For example, when the test is completed, the electromagnetic reversing valve 7 receives the control signal of the upper computer to complete pressure relief. At this time, the pressure cover plate 17 can be removed from the inner shell 16, and the material can be separated.
[0022] The test device provided in the embodiment can detect the pressure, material temperature, material volume and density of the material (such as a shrub) during the compression process, and generate corresponding change curves on the upper computer. These curves can directly reflect the changes of various physical parameters of the material during the creep process, thereby helping researchers to find the most energy-saving and best compression parameters for various types of materials. Specifically:
[0023] First, two identical pressure strain sensors 9 are arranged on the test bench 1, which respectively contact the front and rear of the middle part of the back of the material compression chamber 2. During the compression process, they monitor the pressure on the material in real time and send the data to the host computer through the data acquisition module 14, and finally generate a pressure change curve during the material creep process on the host computer.
[0024] Second, the laser displacement measuring sensor 4 is installed on the cylinder mounting arm of the mounting frame 3, and the laser displacement measuring sensor 44 is connected to the data acquisition module 14 through the tail signal line. The laser emitted downward is perpendicular to the pressure cover plate 17, and during the compression process, the laser displacement measuring sensor 4 uploads the measurement data to the host computer through the data acquisition module 14, and generates a volume change curve during the material creep process on the host computer (the volume of the material is inversely proportional to the height of the pressure cover plate 17). At the same time, a weighing sensor 10 is arranged below the material compression chamber 2, which measures the weight of the material added to the material compression chamber 2 and sends the data to the host computer through the data acquisition module 14. Since the areas at each height in the inner cavity of the material compression chamber 2 are equal, combined with the measurement data of the aforementioned laser displacement measuring sensor 4, the density change of the material during the compression creep process is generated on the host computer. Combined with the pressure change curve, the volume change and density change of the material under a certain pressure value can be intuitively reflected.
[0025] In addition, a temperature sensor 11 is arranged inside the material compression chamber 2, which is used to measure the temperature of the material in real time. In this embodiment, when the compression work starts, the ultrasonic device converts high-frequency ultrasonic waves into ultrasonic high-frequency vibration, and transmits the high-frequency vibration pressure to the pressure cover plate through the amplitude horn 8. During the high-frequency vibration process, the material itself is displaced, which will cause the material to produce obvious thermal effect. The temperature sensor 11 detects the temperature of the material and uploads it to the host computer, and generates a temperature change curve on the host computer to reflect the change of the temperature parameter of the material during the compression creep process.
[0026] Finally, the test device can set the temperature of the material heating chamber 2 by independently setting a heating device, that is, it can provide a constant initial temperature for material compression. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the material compression chamber 2 used is a double-layer structure, including an outer shell and an inner shell, and an isolation cavity 16 is formed between the outer shell and the inner shell; the heating device includes a heating resistance wire 15 arranged in the isolation cavity 16. The original working temperature of the material compression chamber 22 is set by controlling the heating resistance wire 15, so that the device can test the creep law of the same material under different temperatures, and based on this, different materials can be tested for creep under different temperatures to find the best compression temperature parameter that is most energy-saving and has the best compression effect for various materials.
[0027] The compression cake (block) of the multi-lignin plant material such as caragana is an effective method to improve the decomposition of the multi-lignin plant material such as caragana by rumen microorganisms, and the creep characteristics in the compression process are studied by the test device provided in the embodiment, which is of great significance to improve the compression efficiency of the material and find the compression material parameters suitable for animal absorption.
