It specifies the instruments, equipment, and apparatus for relevant verification tests of pyrotechnics, the test procedures, result evaluation, and precautions. Its purpose is to verify whether pyrotechnics ignite and whether their performance is not degraded when subjected to specified stimuli. However, in certain specific tests, the testing instruments and equipment are often required to have three capabilities: 1.

In reliable ignition verification, the ability to acquire instantaneous ignition current values and pulse widths at high speed; 3. The ability to process and analyze the acquired data. How to meet these requirements has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] This invention tests the ignition current of an electro-explosive device by connecting a DC regulated power supply, an ammeter, and a power resistor in series in the circuit. It enables verification of non-ignition and reliable ignition detection of the electro-explosive device, employing high-speed acquisition technology to test the ignition current and pulse width.
[0021] The present invention will now be explained and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and Embodiment 1.
[0022] The hardware components of this utility model are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a DC regulated power supply, switch, resistor, high-speed data acquisition unit, aviation connector, computer, device housing, ammeter, and safety protection devices; the software part is a dedicated test program.
[0023] The DC regulated power supply is connected to the circuit via a power supply wire and an aviation plug; switch K1, switch K2, resistor R1, resistor R2, ammeter, and electric arc device form a series circuit with the DC regulated power supply; the ammeter and electric arc device are connected to the circuit via power supply wires and aviation plugs respectively; the high-speed data acquisition unit is connected in parallel with power resistor R1 via a power supply wire and aviation plug; the high-speed data acquisition unit is connected to the computer via a USB communication cable.
[0024] A DC regulated power supply provides ignition voltage and current for reliable operation of the pyrotechnic device, with continuously adjustable voltage. Switch K1 controls the connection and disconnection of the DC regulated power supply and the circuit. Switch K2 controls whether the ammeter is connected in series with the circuit, with three states: "ammeter connected," "circuit on," and "circuit off." Power resistor R1 is a high-power resistor with a fixed resistance value, capable of withstanding large currents, used to generate instantaneous voltage during ignition for high-speed data acquisition. Power resistor R2 shares part of the voltage drop, acting as a voltage divider. The ammeter monitors changes in circuit current. The high-speed data acquisition device acquires the instantaneous voltage and its pulse width; the instantaneous ignition current value is obtained by dividing the acquired voltage value by the resistance of power resistor R1. An aviation connector ensures reliable connection between hardware components. The device housing protects and insulates the components. Safety protection devices prevent damage to the surrounding environment caused by the high temperature or fragments generated after the pyrotechnic device ignites.

[0028] Verify the working parameters, initialize the sampling task, start the sampling task, then send the software trigger event and read the data in a loop;
[0029] The test data is converted into current values and temporarily stored in the form of a data array;
[0030] After stopping data collection, save the test data to a text document;
[0031] Use the test data saved in the text document to plot the ignition current variation curve with time on the horizontal axis and current value on the vertical axis.

[0051] Example 1

[0056]
[0057] 1. Non-ignition verification test
[0058] Using 200mA and 5min as the specified non-ignition current test values, connect the circuit, set the DC regulated power supply voltage, turn on the switch, start timing, monitor the circuit current with the ammeter, and turn off the switch to stop the test when 5min has elapsed.
[0059] Test results: At 200mA for 5 minutes, none of the three electric sparking devices ignited.
[0060] 2. Reliable ignition verification test
[0061] Reliable ignition verification tests were conducted on three electric ignition devices using two ignition currents: 1A and 500mA. The resistance of the three devices was measured using an electric detonator tester, and the resistance values were 1.377Ω, 1.385Ω, and 1.445Ω, respectively. After the circuit switch was opened, the electric ignition device was connected to the circuit, the circuit resistance was measured, the power supply voltage was calculated, parameters were set, the power supply voltage was adjusted, data acquisition began, and the switch was turned on; the electric ignition device ignited instantaneously.
[0062] The collected ignition current data were saved, and data processing and analysis were performed, as shown in Table 5.
[0063] Table 5 Test data for electric pyrotechnics
[0064] Electrical Explosives Number 1# 2# 3# Resistance of electrical and thermal products 1.377Ω 1.385Ω 1.445Ω Specified ignition current 1A 500mA 500mA Sampling time interval 80μs 80μs 80μs Instantaneous ignition average current 1.004A 499mA 499mA Maximum instantaneous ignition current 1.115A 533mA 517mA Pulse width 5ms 251ms 190ms
[0065] Under high current, the pulse width becomes very short; that is, the higher the specified ignition current, the shorter the duration. For reliable ignition current curves, see... Figure 4 .
[0066] Result evaluation: If the electric sparking device ignites within the specified time, it is considered unqualified; if it does not ignite within the specified time, but can still reliably ignite after the non-ignition test, it is considered qualified.
[0067] The above tests verify that all the electric pyrotechnic devices used in the tests meet the test requirements and are qualified.
[0068] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
