Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal conductivity testing technology, and more specifically to a thermal conductivity testing device with a specified bulk density. Background Technology
[0002] In materials research and application scenarios, methods for testing the thermal conductivity of powder or filamentous samples using thermal constant analyzers and thermal conductivity meters have serious drawbacks. During testing, samples must be stacked in stages above and below the testing probe, resulting in a chaotic and uncontrollable packing density. Since the thermal conductivity of a sample is closely related to its packing density, for samples with low thermal conductivity, varying degrees of packing looseness lead to significant fluctuations in test results, making it impossible to obtain accurate thermal conductivity values for the sample itself. Furthermore, this testing method has extremely poor repeatability; results from multiple tests are inconsistent and widely differing. Simultaneously, the entire sample stacking process relies on manual operation, and since each person's technique is different, it's difficult to standardize the operation, leading to substantial human error. These problems significantly hinder the accuracy and reliability of materials thermal conductivity testing, slowing down materials research and the pace of technological innovation in industry. Therefore, a novel testing solution is urgently needed to address these challenges. Utility Model Content

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment discloses a thermal conductivity testing device with a specified bulk density, comprising:
[0034] The lower sample chamber 2 includes a lower cylinder 21 and a lower cover 22, which together form a lower receiving cavity 23.
[0035] An upper sample chamber 1 is disposed opposite to a lower sample chamber 2, and the upper sample chamber 1 is detachably connected to the lower sample chamber 2. The upper sample chamber 1 includes an upper cylinder 11 and an upper cover 12, the upper cover 12 being detachably connected to the upper cylinder 11. The upper cylinder 11 and the upper cover 12 enclose an upper receiving cavity 13, which is connected to the lower receiving cavity 23. Both the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 are made of transparent material, and both the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 are provided with indicator scale lines 112.
[0036] Compression mechanism 3 is disposed in the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2;
[0037] Test component 4, wherein the test component 4 is disposed between the lower sample chamber 2 and the upper sample chamber 1;
[0038] The base 5, the test component 4 and the lower sample chamber 2 are all fixedly connected to the base 5.
[0039] Specifically, the lower sample chamber 2 consists of a lower cylinder 21 and a lower cover 22, forming a lower receiving cavity 23, which is where the initial sample is loaded. The upper sample chamber 1 consists of an upper cylinder 11 and an upper cover 12, forming an upper receiving cavity 13. The upper receiving cavity 13 is connected to the lower receiving cavity 23, facilitating the vertical flow of the sample. The upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2 have the same structure and are positioned opposite each other. The upper sample chamber 1 is detachably connected to the lower sample chamber 2 for easy installation and replacement. The upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 are made of transparent material, making it easy to observe the sample loading and compression. The indicator scale 112 on the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 is key to accurately controlling the compression amount. The indicator scale 112 on the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 are set with a unified scale standard to ensure the accuracy of sample compression.
[0040] Compression mechanism 3 is distributed within upper sample chamber 1 and lower sample chamber 2, changing the bulk density of the sample by pushing it. Test component 4, sandwiched between upper and lower sample chambers 2, is the core component for measuring thermal conductivity. Base 5 secures test component 4 and lower sample chamber 2, ensuring device stability and reducing external interference.
[0041] Further, during operation, first place a quantitative sample into the lower cylinder 21, and use the compression mechanism 3 to push it until it is flush with the inlet of the lower cylinder 21. At this time, the top of the sample is in contact with the test component 4. Next, install the upper sample chamber 1, open the upper cover 12, add an equal amount of sample, and then close the cover. Then, use the compression mechanisms 3 on both the upper and lower sides to squeeze the sample in opposite directions. By compressing the equal amounts of sample on both the upper and lower sides to the same standard indicator scale line 112, the compression amount is ensured to be consistent, and the sample density at both ends is uniform.
[0042] In other words, in this embodiment, the sample density is precisely adjusted using the indicator scale 112 and the compression mechanism 3 to meet different testing requirements; ensuring uniform sample density, with simultaneous compression on both sides and consistent compression amounts, avoiding localized over-density or under-density of the sample; the transparent cylinder facilitates observation and enables visual operation; the indicator scale 112 standardizes the compression, improving operational accuracy and efficiency, effectively reducing errors, and obtaining reliable sample thermal conductivity data. It is understood that the thermal conductivity testing device with a specified bulk density in this embodiment is suitable for various powdered or filamentous samples, such as tobacco powder and tobacco shreds.
[0043] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the upper cover 12 and the upper cylinder 11 can be designed as detachable connections such as threaded connection, snap-fit connection or flange connection, depending on the convenience of operation. This embodiment does not specifically limit the connection method and connection structure of the upper cover 12 and the upper cylinder 11.
[0044] In one embodiment, the compression mechanism 3 includes an upper compression component 31 and a lower compression component 32, which are arranged vertically opposite to each other. The upper compression component 31 is disposed in the upper sample chamber 1, and the lower compression component 32 is disposed in the lower sample chamber 2.
[0045] Specifically, the upper compression component 31 is placed in the upper sample chamber 1, and the lower compression component 32 is located in the lower sample chamber 2, with them arranged vertically opposite each other. The upper compression component 31 applies pressure from above to the powdered / filamentous sample placed in the upper cylinder 11, while the lower compression component 32 applies pressure from below to the sample in the lower cylinder 21. This method of applying pressure from above and below allows the sample to be more evenly distributed throughout the test space under the extrusion force in both directions. Compared with unidirectional compression, bidirectional compression of the sample results in a more compact and uniform sample packing, effectively preventing localized loose packing or excessive compaction within the chamber, ensuring the consistency of sample density throughout. Simultaneously, by adjusting the movement depth of the upper compression component 31 and the lower compression component 32 within the upper cylinder 11 and lower cylinder 21 (i.e., moving them to the designated indicator scale line 112), the pressure applied to the sample can be controlled, precisely controlling the sample packing density to meet the requirements for sample packing density under different experimental conditions, thus ensuring accurate measurement of the thermal conductivity of samples at different packing densities. In addition, the bidirectional compression design can accelerate the process of the sample reaching the set packing density, thereby improving testing efficiency.
[0046] In one embodiment, the upper compression assembly 31 includes an upper pressure plate 311 and an upper pressure rod 312. The upper pressure plate 311 is disposed inside the upper cylinder 11. One end of the upper pressure rod 312 is connected to the upper pressure plate 311, and the other end of the upper pressure rod 312 passes through and is slidably connected to the upper cover 12. The upper pressure rod 312 drives the upper pressure plate 311 to be slidably connected to the inner wall of the upper cylinder 11.
[0047] Specifically, the upper compression assembly 31 mainly consists of an upper pressure plate 311 and an upper pressure rod 312. The upper pressure plate 311 is placed inside the upper cylinder 11 and is in direct contact with the powdered / filamentous sample inside the cylinder. One end of the upper pressure rod 312 is firmly connected to the upper pressure plate 311, and the other end passes through the upper cover 12 and forms a sliding connection with the upper cover 12.
[0048] When sample compression is required, the upper pressure rod 312 is moved by external force. The upper pressure rod 312 drives the upper pressure plate 311 to slide along the inner wall of the upper cylinder 11. Since the upper pressure plate 311 is in direct contact with the sample, the sliding of the upper pressure plate 311 applies pressure to the sample, thus achieving the sample compression operation. On the one hand, the sliding connection between the upper pressure rod 312 and the upper cover 12 makes the operation of the upper pressure plate 311 more flexible and convenient. The operator can precisely control the downward movement distance and force of the upper pressure plate 311 according to actual needs, thereby precisely controlling the degree of sample compression. On the other hand, the sliding connection between the upper pressure plate 311 and the inner wall of the upper cylinder 11 ensures that the upper pressure plate 311 always moves vertically downward during the compression process, applying pressure to the sample evenly. This avoids problems such as uneven sample tilting or uneven accumulation in the cylinder due to uneven force, ensuring that the sample has a uniform packing density throughout the entire upper sample chamber 1, providing a stable and reliable sample state for accurate measurement of sample thermal conductivity.
[0049] In one embodiment, the lower compression assembly 32 includes a lower pressure plate 321 and a lower pressure rod 322. The lower pressure plate 321 is disposed inside the lower cylinder 21. One end of the lower pressure rod 322 is connected to the lower pressure plate 321, and the other end of the lower pressure rod 322 passes through and is slidably connected to the lower cover 22. The lower pressure rod 322 drives the lower pressure plate 321 to be slidably connected to the inner wall of the lower cylinder 21.
[0050] Specifically, the lower compression assembly 32 mainly consists of a lower pressure plate 321 and a lower pressure rod 322. The lower pressure plate 321 is placed inside the lower cylinder 21 and is in direct contact with the powdered / filamentous sample inside the cylinder. One end of the lower pressure rod 322 is firmly connected to the lower pressure plate 321, and the other end passes through the lower cover 22 and forms a sliding connection with the lower cover 22.
[0051] When sample compression is required, the lower pressure rod 322 is moved by external force. The lower pressure rod 322 drives the lower pressure plate 321 to slide along the inner wall of the lower cylinder 21. Since the lower pressure plate 321 is in direct contact with the sample, the sliding of the lower pressure plate 321 applies pressure to the sample, thus achieving the sample compression operation. On the one hand, the sliding connection between the lower pressure rod 322 and the lower cover 22 makes the operation of the lower pressure plate 321 more flexible and convenient. The operator can precisely control the upward movement distance and force of the lower pressure plate 321 according to actual needs, thereby accurately controlling the degree of sample compression. On the other hand, the sliding connection between the lower pressure plate 321 and the inner wall of the lower cylinder 21 ensures that the lower pressure plate 321 always moves vertically downward during the compression process, applying pressure to the sample evenly. This avoids problems such as uneven sample tilting or uneven accumulation in the cylinder due to uneven force, ensuring that the sample has a uniform packing density throughout the entire lower sample chamber 2, providing a stable and reliable sample state for accurate measurement of sample thermal conductivity.
[0052] In one embodiment, both the upper pressure rod 312 and the lower pressure rod 322 are threaded rods. The upper cover 12 is provided with an upper threaded hole adapted to be connected to the upper pressure rod 312, and the lower cover 22 is provided with a lower threaded hole adapted to be connected to the lower pressure rod 322.
[0053] Specifically, both the upper pressure rod 312 and the lower pressure rod 322 are designed as threaded rods. This means that the upper pressure rod 312 is threaded to the upper pressure plate 311, and the lower pressure rod 322 is threaded to the lower pressure plate 321. The upper cover 12 has an upper threaded hole that matches the upper pressure rod 312, and the lower cover 22 has a lower threaded hole that matches the lower pressure rod 322. When the sample in the upper sample chamber 1 needs to be compressed, rotating the upper pressure rod 312 causes it to move linearly along the threaded path due to the threaded engagement with the upper threaded hole, thereby causing the upper pressure plate 311 to move up and down within it. Similarly, for the lower sample chamber 2, rotating the lower pressure rod 322 causes it to move up and down within it through its engagement with the lower threaded hole. The threaded drive offers excellent precision and controllability. By rotating the upper pressure rod 312 and lower pressure rod 322 a certain number of times, the movement of the upper pressure plate 311 and lower pressure plate 321 to the designated indicator scale line 112 can be precisely controlled, thereby accurately controlling the amount of sample compression. This is crucial for thermal conductivity tests that require precise setting of bulk density, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of test results. The threaded connection provides stable self-locking performance. After the upper pressure plate 311 and lower pressure plate 321 are adjusted to the appropriate position, the self-locking effect of the thread ensures that the pressure plates remain stable during the test, preventing displacement due to the elastic recovery of the sample or slight external vibrations, ensuring that the sample maintains a constant bulk density throughout the test. Furthermore, rotating the upper pressure rod 312 and lower pressure rod 322 is relatively simple, requiring no complex tools or additional power equipment. Operators can easily compress the sample according to the indicator scale line 112 and test requirements, improving operational convenience and efficiency.
[0054] It is understandable that the shape and size of the upper pressure plate 311 are designed to be adapted to the upper cylinder 11, and the shape and size of the lower pressure plate 321 are designed to be adapted to the lower cylinder 21, so that the upper pressure plate 311 and the inner wall of the upper cylinder 11 and the lower pressure plate 321 and the inner wall of the lower cylinder 21 are seamlessly connected, thereby ensuring that the sample is located between the upper pressure plate 311 and the lower pressure plate 321 when the sample is compressed.
[0055] In one embodiment, the test assembly 4 includes a fixture 41, a horizontal plate 42, and a test probe 43. The bottom of the fixture 41 is fixedly connected to the base 5 via a connecting rod 51. The horizontal plate 42 is detachably connected to the fixture 41. One end of the test probe 43 is connected to the horizontal plate 42, and the other end passes through the connection between the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2 and enters the upper receiving cavity 13 and the lower receiving cavity 23.
[0056] Specifically, the test assembly 4 mainly consists of a fixture 41, a horizontal plate 42, and a test probe 43. The bottom of the fixture 41 is securely connected to the base 5 via a connecting rod 51, providing a solid support foundation for the entire test assembly 4. This ensures that the test probe 43 will not shake due to external vibrations or other factors during measurement, maintaining a stable contact position between the test probe 43 and the sample, thereby ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the measurement data. The horizontal plate 42 is detachably connected to the fixture 41, increasing the flexibility of the device. It allows for quick replacement of the appropriate horizontal plate 42 for different types and sizes of test probes 43 or different testing scenarios, improving the versatility and adaptability of the device and meeting diverse testing needs. One end of the test probe 43 is connected to the horizontal plate 42 to obtain the necessary conditions such as stable support and electrical connection; the other end passes through the connection between the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2, extending between the upper receiving cavity 13 and the lower receiving cavity 23, so that the test probe 43 can directly contact the sample in the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2, quickly sense the heat transfer of the sample, effectively improve the measurement efficiency, and accurately obtain the sample thermal conductivity data. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the test probe 43 is a plate probe to ensure that the sample in the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 21 overflows.
[0057] In one embodiment, the fixture 41 includes a fixing plate 411 and an adjusting plate 412. The fixing plate 411 is fixedly connected to the base 5 via the connecting rod 51, and the adjusting plate 412 is detachably connected to the fixing plate 411. The horizontal plate 42 is disposed between the fixing plate 411 and the adjusting plate 412.
[0058] Specifically, the fixture 41 consists of a fixed plate 411 and an adjusting plate 412. The fixed plate 411 serves as a basic support and fixation, connected to the base 5 via a connecting rod 51, forming the stable foundation of the entire fixture 41. The adjusting plate 412 is detachably connected to the fixed plate 411, allowing for replacement or adjustment according to actual testing needs. The horizontal plate 42 is positioned between the fixed plate 411 and the adjusting plate 412, providing a stable clamping effect through their mutual cooperation. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the horizontal plate 42 or replace it with a different specification, simply remove the adjusting plate 412 and precisely adjust its vertical and horizontal position by adding or removing shims or adjusting the relative position of the adjusting plate 412 and the fixed plate 411. This ensures that the test probe 43 can be accurately placed in the ideal testing position on the sample, improving testing accuracy and making the operation very convenient. When a part of the horizontal plate 42 or the fixing plate 41 is damaged or needs to be upgraded, the adjusting plate 412 can be disassembled separately to repair or replace the internal horizontal plate 42 or fixing plate 411 without replacing the entire fixing plate 41, saving maintenance time and costs. It is understood that the connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the base 5 with bolts.
[0059] In one embodiment, the upper cylinder 11 is provided with an upper connecting arm 111 extending outward from one end near the lower cylinder 21, and the lower cylinder 21 is provided with a lower connecting arm 211 extending outward from one end near the upper cylinder 11. The upper connecting arm 111 is detachably connected to the lower connecting arm 211 so that the upper receiving cavity 13 is connected to the lower receiving cavity 23.
[0060] Specifically, an upper connecting arm 111 extends outward from the end of the upper cylinder 11 near the lower cylinder 21, and similarly, a lower connecting arm 211 extends outward from the end of the lower cylinder 21 near the upper cylinder 11. By detachably connecting the upper connecting arm 111 and the lower connecting arm 211, the upper receiving cavity 13 of the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower receiving cavity 23 of the lower sample chamber 2 can be interconnected. This connection method allows the sample to be continuously distributed between the two cavities, creating conditions for subsequent compression and thermal conductivity tests. Common detachable connection methods include bolt and nut connections and snap-fit connections, facilitating the separation or combination of the upper and lower sample chambers 2 when needed. The detachable connection of the upper connecting arm 111 and the lower connecting arm 211 makes the entire device more convenient to install and disassemble. When testing different samples or cleaning and maintaining the device, the upper and lower sample chambers 2 can be easily separated, making the operation simple, efficient, and saving time and labor costs. Meanwhile, the connection of the outward-extending connecting arms can reliably ensure the connection between the upper receiving cavity 13 and the lower receiving cavity 23, allowing the sample to transition naturally between the two chambers and avoiding uneven sample distribution due to poor connection, which would affect the test results of bulk density and thermal conductivity.
[0061] It is understandable that the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2 have the same structure and are arranged opposite each other. For different amounts of samples, upper sample chamber 1 and lower sample chamber 2 with appropriate volumes can be selected and connected for use, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.
[0062] In one embodiment, the upper connecting arm 111 is bolted to the lower connecting arm 211.
[0063] Specifically, the upper connecting arm 111 and the lower connecting arm 211 are connected by bolts. This means that each connecting arm has corresponding bolt holes. During installation, the bolts are passed through the bolt holes of the upper connecting arm 111 and then screwed into the bolt holes of the lower connecting arm 211. By tightening the nuts, the upper connecting arm 111 is securely fixed to the lower connecting arm 211, thus connecting the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2, allowing smooth communication between the upper receiving cavity 13 and the lower receiving cavity 23. The bolt connection provides strong fastening force. During testing, even if the device is subjected to vibration or external force, the upper connecting arm 111 and the lower connecting arm 211 remain tightly connected and will not easily loosen, ensuring that the upper receiving cavity 13 and the lower receiving cavity 23 remain in a continuous state of communication. This ensures stable sample placement and smooth testing, improving the reliability of the test results. By tightening or loosening the bolts, the relative position between the upper connecting arm 111 and the lower connecting arm 211 can be easily adjusted to accommodate samples of different thicknesses or sizes. Furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble the upper sample chamber 1 and the lower sample chamber 2, simply unscrewing the bolts allows for easy separation, facilitating cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of different components within the sample chambers, thus improving the maintainability of the device. Simultaneously, bolts, as common standard connectors, are readily available and replaceable. If a bolt is damaged during use, a suitable replacement bolt can be easily found, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty, while also enhancing the versatility of the device.
[0064] In one embodiment, the lower connecting arm 211 is fixedly connected to the base 5 by a connecting post, and the lower connecting arm 211 is bolted to the connecting post.
[0065] Specifically, one end of the connecting column is fixed to the base 5, and the lower connecting arm 211 is connected to the other end of the connecting column by bolts. Threaded holes matching the bolt holes of the lower connecting arm 211 are pre-set on the connecting column. During installation, the bolts are passed through the holes in the lower connecting arm 211 and screwed into the threaded holes of the connecting column. Tightening the bolts securely fixes the lower connecting arm 211 to the connecting column. This design ensures that the lower sample chamber 2 is stably connected to the base 5, laying the foundation for the stability of the entire device. The lower connecting arm 211 is fixed to the base 5 by the connecting column, which increases the stability of the connection between the lower sample chamber 2 and the base 5. Compared to a direct connection, the connecting column better distributes the weight from the lower sample chamber 2 and the internal sample, reducing stress concentration at the connection point between the lower connecting arm 211 and the base 5. This makes the device more stable during testing, effectively preventing displacement of the lower sample chamber 2 due to vibration and other factors, ensuring a stable testing environment, and improving the accuracy of thermal conductivity test data. Furthermore, by suspending the lower sample chamber 2 above the base 5, it provides some operating space for adjusting the lower compression assembly 32, improving ease of use.
[0066] Meanwhile, the bolted connection allows for flexible adjustment of the relative positions of the lower connecting arm 211 and the connecting column to accommodate lower sample chambers 2 of different heights or structures. Furthermore, if the device is subsequently upgraded or modified, and upper sample chambers 1 and lower sample chambers 2 of different specifications are replaced, this connection method can be used for easy installation and fixation, enhancing the adaptability and scalability of the device.
