[0029] In the papermaking industry, press blankets play a crucial role. They are used to transport and support wet paper, absorb moisture from the paper, compress and expel the moisture, and then repeatedly absorb moisture to dry the paper. During repeated use, the compression resilience, absorbency, and dehydration properties of press blankets gradually deteriorate, necessitating periodic replacement.
[0030] The compression recovery and dehydration properties of the press blanket need to be tested simultaneously to evaluate its performance. Therefore, a testing device is needed to simulate the state of the press blanket during use and conduct relevant performance tests in order to monitor the relevant performance of the press blanket in real time and obtain the service life of the press blanket so as to replace the press blanket in a timely manner during use.
[0031] To address the related technical problems, this application provides a testing device, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the testing device provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a bottom view of the second extruder of the test apparatus provided in this application.
[0032] The testing device 1 includes a testing machine 10, which includes a frame 110, a first extruder 120, and a second extruder 130. The second extruder 130 is slidably connected to the frame 110, and the first extruder 120 is connected to the frame 110 and is disposed opposite to the second extruder 130. The second extruder 130 can move toward the first extruder 120 to extrude the test piece located between the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130. A water spray hole 131 is provided on the side of the second extruder 130 facing the first extruder 120, and the water spray hole 131 is used to humidify the test piece.
[0033] The frame member 110 has interconnected crossbeams and longitudinal beams. A first extruder 120 and a second extruder 130 are connected to the crossbeams, which are slidably connected to the longitudinal beams. The crossbeams move along the longitudinal beams, causing the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 to move up and down. The movement of the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 can be driven by a motor or a hydraulic device. The second extruder 130 is located above the first extruder 120. Both extruders can have circular, rectangular, or other shapes, which are not limited here. Preferably, the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 are circular. It should be noted that both the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 can also be slidably connected to the frame member 110, or only one of them can be slidably connected to the frame member 110. In one embodiment, the first extruder 120 is fixedly connected to the frame member 110, the second extruder 130 is slidably connected to the frame member 110, the test specimen is supported on the first extruder 120, and the second extruder 130 moves toward the first extruder 120 to extrude the test specimen.
[0034] Through the above implementation method, the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 are relatively close to each other to compress the test piece, and the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 are relatively far apart to release pressure on the testing machine, thereby conducting a compression test on the test piece and testing its compression recovery performance (the ratio of the thickness of the test piece during compression to the thickness of the test piece after compression recovery); the water spray hole 131 sprays water to humidify the test piece before the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 compress it, thereby testing the dynamic compression recovery performance and dehydration performance of the test piece in a wet state (the ratio of the amount of water removed from the test piece after compression to the amount of water content in the test piece before compression), making the test more consistent with the actual use of the test piece and better predicting the service life of the test piece. In this application, the test piece is selected as a press blanket.
[0035] The testing device 1 also includes a water supply component 20, and the testing machine 10 also includes a control console 140. The control console 140 is connected to the frame component 110. The water supply component 20 includes a main body 210 and a control unit 220. The main body 210 is connected to the water spray hole 131, and the control unit 220 is connected to the control console 140.
[0036] The testing machine 10 can be a tensile testing machine. The control console 140 is used to control the movement of the first extrusion member 120 and the second extrusion member 130, as well as the pressure exerted on the test piece, and to collect and display parameters such as the compressibility deformation and pressure of the test piece. The water supply unit 20 supplies water to the spray nozzle 131 through the main body 210. The control unit 220 is used to control the water supply speed and the on / off state of the water supply from the water supply unit 20, that is, to control the on / off state, spray speed, and spray flow rate of the spray nozzle 131. Both the control unit 220 and the control console 140 can be equipped with embedded or microprocessors such as single-chip microcomputers for intelligent control. The control unit 220 and the control console 140 can be wirelessly connected, allowing the control console 140 to control parameters such as the spray time and spray speed of the spray nozzle 131.
[0037] In some implementations, the control unit 220 and the console 140 may not be connected. The control unit 220 and the console 140 can each wirelessly communicate with a computer, allowing the computer to control parameters such as the water supply speed and duration of the water supply component 20, and to collect and statistically analyze data from the testing machine 10. The water supply component 20 can be an intelligent water pump. Both the testing machine 10 and the water supply component 20 can be interconnected with the computer via wireless communication or a hardware interface.
[0038] The testing device 1 also includes a heating container 30, which is connected to the water supply unit 20. The heating container 30 is used to provide heated water to the water supply unit 20. The heating container 30 is used to store water and heat the water to a suitable temperature, so that when water is sprayed onto the test piece through the spray hole 131 to humidify it, the state of the test piece is closer to that under actual use, thus improving the accuracy of the test results. The heating container 30 can be a smart water heater.
[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a top view of the first extrusion member 120 of the test apparatus 1 provided in this application.
[0040] The first extruder 120 is provided with drainage holes 121, and a first water collection element 40 is provided on the side of the first extruder 120 opposite to the second extruder 130. Multiple drainage holes 121 are provided, extending through both the upper and lower surfaces of the first extruder 120. These drainage holes 121 on the second extruder 130 guide the water discharged during compression of the test specimen to the first water collection element 40. The first water collection element 40 collects the water flowing from the drainage holes 121. By measuring the weight or volume of water within the first water collection element 40, the amount of water removed from the test specimen during compression testing can be obtained, thereby analyzing the dehydration performance of the test specimen. It should be noted that the size of the drainage holes 121 should not be too large to avoid the test specimen from being recessed into the drainage holes 121 when compressed by the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130, thus affecting the test results.
[0041] The size of the first water collecting component 40 is larger than the size of the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130, so that the projections of the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 on the first water collecting component 40 are located within the internal space of the first water collecting component 40. This ensures that all the water discharged from the test piece during the compression test flows into the first water collecting component 40, preventing water from overflowing onto the testing machine 10. The opening side of the first water collecting component 40 faces the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130. Preferably, the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 have the same size and are both smaller than the size of the first water collecting component 40.
[0042] The testing device 1 also includes a first measuring element 50, which is connected to the first water collecting element 40. The first measuring element 50 is used to monitor and measure the moisture collected in the first water collecting element 40. The first measuring element 50 can use a pressure sensor or an ultrasonic flow meter to measure the weight or volume of the moisture in the first water collecting element 40, thereby further analyzing and calculating the dehydration performance of the test specimen. The first measuring element 50 can be directly connected to the control console 140 of the testing machine 10, or it can be connected to a computer to transmit data.
[0043] In some embodiments, the testing device 1 further includes a second water collection element 60 and a second measuring element 70, which are connected to the second water collection element 60 and communicate with the first water collection element 40. Preferably, after a compression test, the first measuring element 50 measures the water collected in the first water collection element 40 and then discharges the water in the first water collection element 40 to the second water collection element 60. The second water collection element 60 can be connected to the first water collection element 40 through a pipe. On the one hand, the second water collection element 60 can collect the water in the first water collection element 40; on the other hand, the second measuring element 70 is connected to the second water collection element 60 to perform a secondary measurement on the water collected in the second water collection element 60. By comparing the test results of the first measuring element 50 and the second measuring element 70, the measurement accuracy is improved, avoiding large errors caused by instrument malfunctions or damage during a single measurement using either the first measuring element 50 or the second measuring element 70. If the error between the test results of the first measuring element 50 and the second measuring element 70 is within a certain range, the test result can be considered normal. The second measuring element 70 can use a smart electronic balance, pressure sensor or ultrasonic flow meter to measure the weight or volume of water, and then analyze and calculate the dehydration performance of the test piece. The second measuring element 70 can be connected to the control console 140 of the testing machine 10, and the second measuring element 70 can also be connected to a computer to transmit data.
[0044] The second water collection unit 60 is larger than the first water collection unit 40, and its internal capacity is also larger. The second water collection unit 60 can collect and hold the water inside the first water collection unit 40 and periodically drain it. Because the first water collection unit 40 is connected to the first extrusion member 120, its internal capacity is limited to avoid affecting the test due to its large size. Therefore, the first water collection unit 40 needs to promptly drain its internal water into the second water collection unit 60. The second water collection unit 60 can be separated from the testing machine 10; therefore, its size can be larger to collect and hold the water inside the first water collection unit 40 and periodically drain it.
[0045] The testing machine 10 includes a first sensor 150 and a second sensor. The first sensor 150 is connected to the first extrusion member 120, and the second sensor is connected to the second extrusion member 130. The first sensor 150 is used to monitor and collect parameters such as the pressure experienced by the test piece during compression testing, the deformation of the test piece after extrusion, and the recovery amount of the test piece after extrusion. The first sensor 150 is connected to the control console 140, and the data collected by the first sensor 150 is fed back to the control console 140. The second sensor is used to monitor the distance between the first extrusion member 120 and the second extrusion member 130, and to feed back the relevant data to the control console 140. This allows the water supply unit 20 and the water spray hole 131 to spray water onto the test piece to humidify it when the second extrusion member 130 and the first extrusion member 120 are close to each other at a certain distance, so as to better simulate the dynamic compression performance of the test piece under wet conditions.
[0046] The number of water spray holes 131 is multiple, and the multiple water spray holes 131 are evenly spaced on the side of the second extruder 130 facing the first extruder 120. By setting multiple water spray holes 131, the humidification of the test piece located between the first extruder 120 and the second extruder 130 is more uniform, and the test results of its compression performance in wet state are avoided due to uneven humidification of the test piece.
[0047] In summary, the testing device 1 of this application uses the first extrusion member 120 and the second extrusion member 130 of the testing machine 10 to perform compression testing on the test specimen. A water spray hole 131 is provided on the second extrusion member 130 to spray water and humidify the test specimen, realizing the compression test of the test specimen in a wet state. The water supply member 20 is used to adjust and control parameters such as the spray speed and spray volume of the water spray hole 131. The heating container 30 is used to provide a heated water source. At the same time, a drain hole 121 is provided on the first extrusion member 120. A first water collection member 40, a second water collection member 60, a first metering member 50 and a second metering member 70 are set to guide, collect and measure the amount of water removed from the test specimen during the compression test, thereby analyzing its dehydration performance. The testing machine 10, the first metering member 50, the second metering member 60 and so on can be interconnected with a computer to transmit relevant performance parameters to the computer for real-time monitoring. The computer analyzes and displays parameters such as the initial water content of the test specimen, the amount of water removed after compression, the extrusion pressure on the test specimen and the real-time function graph of the resulting compression deformation. The testing device 1 of this application can test the dynamic compression recovery performance and dehydration performance of the test specimen under wet conditions, making the test of the test specimen more consistent with the actual use of the test specimen and better predicting the service life of the test specimen.
[0048] The testing process of the test piece by the testing device 1 is roughly as follows: the heating container 30 heats the water source to the target temperature and maintains a constant temperature; the test piece is placed on the first extrusion piece 120; relevant test parameters, such as the size and thickness of the test piece, compression rate, compression force, and compression residence time, are input into the control console 140 of the testing machine 10; the second extrusion piece 130 is controlled to be relatively close to the first extrusion piece 120; when the second extrusion piece 130 and the first extrusion piece 120 are a certain distance apart, the water supply component 20 is controlled, thereby controlling the water nozzle to spray water onto the test piece at a certain spray rate for a certain period of time to humidify it (the test piece needs to reach the target humidity, and the amount of water sprayed to reach the target humidity can be calculated based on the size and thickness of the test piece); the testing machine 10, through the control console 140, sprays water onto the test piece according to the set compression rate and compression force, etc. The first extrusion component 120 and the second extrusion component 130 are numerically controlled to perform compression tests on the test specimen and acquire the compression deformation of the test specimen. The first metering component 50 and the second metering component 70 measure the weight or volume of water collected by the first water collecting component 40 and the second water collecting component 60. After compression continues for a certain period of time, the second extrusion component 130 and the first extrusion component 120 are controlled to separate relative to release the pressure on the test specimen. After maintaining this for a certain period of time, the deformation parameters of the test specimen after compression recovery are monitored to complete one compression cycle test. Then, the test specimen is subjected to humidification compression tests and relevant data is collected. The compression cycle test is continuously performed until the predetermined number of cycles is completed. While the test specimen is being tested, the collected data is simultaneously transmitted to the computer for real-time calculation and analysis of the dynamic compression recovery performance and dehydration performance of the test specimen in a wet state.
