Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clay testing technology, specifically a clay shaping effect testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Clay, as a basic material widely used in many fields, plays a crucial role in industries such as construction, ceramics, artistic creation, and industrial manufacturing. In the ceramics industry, different types of clay are key raw materials for making ceramic products. From everyday tableware to exquisite art ceramics, the shaping effect of clay directly affects the quality and artistic value of the products.
[0003] Most existing clay molding effect testing devices place the clay sample directly into the testing mold and then use pressure sensors to detect the clay data. The testing environment is mostly in a laboratory or production plant. However, in some high-latitude and cold regions, the low temperature has a significant impact on the properties of the clay. In such environments, the laboratory where the testing device is located is often equipped with heating devices to provide room temperature and reduce the impact of low temperature on the measurement data. However, staff need to frequently check the heating devices to prevent the temperature from getting too high and accelerating the drying speed of the clay, which increases the workload of the staff and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0004] To address this issue, we designed a clay shaping effect testing device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clay shaping effect testing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a clay shaping effect testing device, including a testing box and a partition disposed inside the testing box. The partition has multiple holes, an airbag and a button. A connecting plate is connected to the inner wall of the testing box. A connecting rope is connected to one end of the connecting plate, and the other end of the connecting rope is connected to the airbag. A sliding plate is disposed at the other end of the airbag. A sliding component is disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding plate. A contact rod is connected to the end of the sliding plate away from the airbag. The contact rod and the button are arranged on the same straight line. An alarm is also disposed on the outer wall of the testing box.
[0007] Furthermore, a water tank is connected to the testing box, one end of which extends into the testing box and is connected to a sponge, which is placed at the top inside the testing box.
[0008] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a slider, the top surface of the partition plate is provided with a sliding groove, one end of the slider is slidably connected in the slider, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the sliding plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a mounting plate is connected to the bottom surface of the partition, a pressure block and a base plate are provided inside the detection box, an electric push rod is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate, the drive end of the electric push rod is connected to the pressure block, a mold is installed on the base plate, and the pressure block and the mold are compatible.
[0010] Furthermore, heating wires are installed on the inner wall of the testing box.
[0011] Furthermore, a baffle is installed on the testing box, a hinge is connected to the connection between the testing box and the baffle, and a handle is also connected to the surface of the testing box.
[0012] Furthermore, the base plate has a groove, the mold is embedded in the groove, the two ends of the base plate are connected to slide rails, and the inner wall of the detection box has a sliding groove, in which the slide rails are slidably connected.
[0013] Furthermore, both the mold and the baffle are made of transparent material.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When the temperature inside the detection chamber is too high, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the gas inside the airbag will expand due to heat, causing the airbag to deform and increase in volume. This pushes the contact rod to move away from the connecting plate. When the temperature inside the detection chamber reaches a certain level, the movement of the sliding plate causes the contact rod to abut against the button. At this time, the alarm sounds, reminding the staff to adjust the temperature in time. This improves the staff's concentration, reduces their workload, and increases work efficiency.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: when the temperature inside the testing chamber is too high, it will accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the clay. When the alarm sounds and the staff adjusts the temperature, the temperature inside the testing chamber will not drop immediately. At this time, a small amount of water can be injected into the water tank to increase the humidity inside the testing chamber, reduce the amount of moisture evaporating from the sample clay, and improve the accuracy of the device's detection.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a clay shaping effect testing device, including a testing box 1 and a partition 7 disposed inside the testing box 1. The partition 7 has multiple holes to allow air circulation between the top and bottom of the partition 7. An airbag 6 and a button 9 are disposed on the partition 7. A connecting plate 5 is connected to the inner wall of the testing box 1. One end of the connecting plate 5 is connected to a connecting rope 501, and the other end of the connecting rope 501 is connected to the airbag 6. The connecting rope 501 has a certain length. A sliding plate 801 is disposed at the other end of the airbag 6. A sliding component is disposed on the bottom surface of the sliding plate 801. A contact rod 8 is connected to the end of the sliding plate 801 away from the airbag 6. The contact rod 8 is conical in shape. The contact rod 8 and the button 9 are disposed on the same straight line. An alarm 3 is also disposed on the outer wall of the testing box 1. The sliding component includes a slider 702. A groove 701 is disposed on the top surface of the partition 7. One end of the slider 702 is slidably connected inside the slider 702, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the sliding plate 801.
[0023] In practice, when the temperature inside the detection chamber 1 is too high, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the gas inside the airbag 6 will expand due to heat, causing the airbag 6 to deform and increase in volume. This pushes the contact rod 8 to move away from the connecting plate 5. When the temperature of the detection chamber 1 reaches a certain level, the movement of the sliding plate 801 causes the contact rod 8 to abut against the button 9. At this time, the alarm 3 sounds an alarm, reminding the staff to adjust the temperature in time. This improves the staff's attention during work, reduces their workload, and increases work efficiency.
[0024] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the partition 7 is connected to the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is equipped with wires. The wires are connected to the heating wire 101, the button 9 and the alarm 3, so that the heating wire 101 can be used normally in the detection box 1, and the alarm 3 and the button 9 are electrically connected. Since this is existing technology, it will not be explained in detail in this description, and it is not shown in the figure.
[0025] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a water tank 4 is connected to the test box 1. One end of the water tank 4 extends into the test box 1 and is connected to a sponge 401. The sponge 401 has strong water absorption and is not easy to drip. The sponge 401 is set at the top inside the test box 1.
[0026] In practice, when the temperature inside the test chamber 1 is too high, it will exacerbate the evaporation of moisture in the clay. When the alarm sounds and the staff adjusts the temperature, the temperature inside the test chamber 1 will not drop immediately. At this time, a small amount of water can be injected into the water tank 4 to increase the humidity inside the test chamber 1, reduce the amount of moisture evaporating from the sample clay, and improve the accuracy of the device's detection.
[0027] See Figure 2 A mounting plate is connected to the bottom surface of the partition 7. A pressure block 11 and a base plate 13 are provided inside the test box 1. An electric push rod 10 is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The drive end of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the pressure block 11. A mold 12 is installed on the base plate 13. The pressure block 11 and the mold 12 are compatible. A heating wire 101 is installed on the inner wall of the test box 1. A groove is opened on the base plate 13. The mold 12 is embedded in the groove. Slide rails are connected to both ends of the base plate 13. A sliding groove is opened on the inner wall of the test box 1. The slide rail is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The base plate 13 can be pulled out of the test box 1 through the slide rail.
[0028] It should be noted that the surface of the pressure block 11 and the inner wall of the mold 12 are both provided with an anti-stick coating. This coating is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which can reduce the difficulty of cleaning the device. Since it is existing technology, this manual will not elaborate on it further.
[0029] In practice, when it is necessary to test the clay, the clay sample is placed in the mold 12, and then the electric push rod 10 is activated to make the pressing block 11 compact the sample in the mold 12. The data after each compaction is recorded by the camera structure outside the test box 1 and compared with the average data to obtain the plasticizing effect of the sample clay.
[0030] See Figure 1The testing box 1 is equipped with a baffle 2, and a hinge 202 is connected to the connection between the testing box 1 and the baffle 2. The baffle 2 is opened and closed by the hinge 202, which improves the convenience of using the device. The surface of the testing box 1 is also connected to a handle 201. The mold 12 and the baffle 2 are both made of transparent acrylic sheet, which has high transparency, allowing the staff to directly observe the operation inside the testing box 1 from the outside. At the same time, it is convenient for the camera outside the testing box 1 to record. It should be noted that the testing box 1 is also equipped with a camera and other devices to test clay samples. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0031] Working principle: When clay needs to be tested, the clay sample is placed in the mold 12. Then, the electric push rod 10 is activated, causing the pressure block 11 to compact the sample in the mold 12. The data after each compaction is recorded by the camera structure outside the testing chamber 1 and compared with the average data to obtain the plasticity effect of the clay sample. A heating wire 101 is installed inside the testing chamber 1 to maintain the temperature inside the testing chamber 1. An air bladder 6 is installed on the partition 7. When the temperature inside the testing chamber 1 is too high, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the gas in the air bladder 6 will expand due to heat, and the air bladder 6 will deform and increase in volume, pushing the contact rod 8 away from the connecting plate 5. When one end moves, and the temperature of the detection chamber 1 reaches a certain level, the movement of the sliding plate 801 causes the contact rod 8 to abut against the button 9. At this time, the alarm 3 sounds an alarm, reminding the staff to adjust the temperature in time. This improves the staff's concentration, reduces their workload, and increases work efficiency. When the temperature inside the detection chamber 1 is too high, it will accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the clay. When the alarm sounds and the staff adjusts the temperature, the temperature inside the detection chamber 1 will not drop immediately. At this time, a small amount of water can be injected into the water tank 4 to increase the humidity inside the detection chamber 1, reduce the evaporation of moisture from the sample clay, and improve the accuracy of the device's detection.
