[0001] This utility model relates to the field of space cotton testing technology, specifically an intelligent tester for the softness of space cotton. Background Technology
[0002] Space cotton has an open-cell structure and temperature-sensitive pressure-reducing properties, making it suitable for manufacturing various garments, specialty workwear, shoes, hats, bedding, tents, and curtains. The softness of space cotton directly affects user comfort; therefore, its softness needs to be tested during its production.
[0003] Patent application CN201521131761.7 discloses a device for testing the softness of artificial leather, which can automatically detect the softness of artificial leather, saving labor, and offering high accuracy and speed. However, this invention observes the softness by examining the degree of bending of the material, making it highly susceptible to external uncertainties, thus affecting the accuracy of the test. Furthermore, this invention has high requirements for the placement of the material during the testing operation, leading to greater operational difficulty and reduced efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an intelligent tester for the softness of space cotton to address the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A smart tester for the softness of space cotton includes a main body plate, a housing fixed to the upper side of the main body plate, a controller installed on the outer side of the housing, and a pad on the inner side of the housing. Two limiting guide rails are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the inner side of the housing, and an electric telescopic rod is inserted and installed on the other side of the housing. A fixing plate is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. Four guide rods arranged in a rectangle are slidably inserted at the four corners of one side of the fixing plate. A detection movable plate is fixed to one end of the four guide rods. Four springs respectively sleeved on the outside of the four guide rods are connected to one side of the detection movable plate. A displacement detection mechanism is provided at the middle section of one side of the detection movable plate and the fixing plate.

A telescopic rod is slidably inserted at one end of the fixed rod. One end of the telescopic rod is fixed to one side of the detection movable plate, and a sliding plate slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed rod is fixed at the other end of the telescopic rod. A rack is fixed to one side of the sliding plate. A pointer shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed rod at a position on one side of the rack, and a scale is fixed to the outer side of the fixed rod at a position corresponding to the pointer shaft. A pointer located on the upper side of the scale is fixed at one end of the pointer shaft, and a rotating shaft gear is fixed to the outer side of the pointer shaft. The rotating shaft gear meshes with the rack through its teeth.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-5. In this embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent tester for the softness of space cotton includes a main body plate 1. A housing 2 is fixed to the upper side of the main body plate 1. A controller 3 is installed on the outer side of the housing 2, and a pad 4 is provided on the inner side of the housing 2. Two limiting guide rails 5 are symmetrically arranged at both ends on the inner side of the housing 2. An electric telescopic rod 6 is inserted and installed on the other side of the housing 2. A fixing plate 7 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 6. Four guide rods 9 arranged in a rectangle are slidably inserted at the four corners on one side of the fixing plate 7. A detection movable plate 8 is fixed to one end of the four guide rods 9. Four springs 10 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the four guide rods 9 on one side of the detection movable plate 8. A displacement detection mechanism is provided at the middle section of one side of the detection movable plate 8 and the fixing plate 7.
[0020] In Figures 4 and 5: The displacement detection mechanism includes a fixed rod 11 fixed to one side of the fixed plate 7 at the middle position. One end of the fixed rod 11 is slidably inserted with a telescopic rod 12. One end of the telescopic rod 12 is fixed to one side of the detection movable plate 8, and the other end of the telescopic rod 12 is fixed with a sliding plate 17 slidably connected to the inside of the fixed rod 11. A rack 16 is fixed to one side of the sliding plate 17. A pointer shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed rod 11 at the position of the rack 16. A scale 13 is fixed to the outside of the fixed rod 11 at the position corresponding to the pointer shaft 14. A pointer is fixed to one side of the pointer shaft 14 at the position of the pointer shaft 14, and a rotating shaft gear 15 is fixed to the outside of the pointer shaft 14. The rotating shaft gear 15 meshes with the rack 16 through its teeth. The displacement detection mechanism is used to detect the distance between the fixed plate 7 and the detection movable plate 8, thereby detecting the softness of the space cotton.
[0021] In Figure 3: One end of each of the four guide rods 9 is fixed with a limiting plate 18 located on one side of the fixed plate 7, and the limiting plate 18 plays a limiting role.
[0022] In Figure 2: Each of the two limiting guide rails 5 is rotatably connected to a screw 19 at the middle position on one side. Both screws 19 are rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 2 through threads. Each of the two limiting guide rails 5 is symmetrically fixed at both ends on one side. All four guide rail rods 20 are slidably inserted into the inside of the housing 2. The guide rail rods 20 play a guiding role for the limiting guide rails 5.
[0023] In Figure 1: Four anti-slip base plates 21 arranged in a rectangle are fixed at the four corners of the lower surface of the main plate 1. All four anti-slip base plates 21 are made of rubber and play an anti-slip role.
[0024] In Figure 1: Two handles 22 are symmetrically fixed on the upper surface of the main plate 1 at both sides. The outer side of the two handles 22 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the handles 22 make it convenient to move the device.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the space cotton to be tested is placed inside the housing 2, positioned between the two limiting guide rails 5. Then, the controller 3 controls the extension end of the electric telescopic rod 6 to extend. The extension end of the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the fixed plate 7 to move, and the fixed plate 7 drives the detection movable plate 8 to move. One side of the detection movable plate 8 presses against one side of the space cotton, applying pressure to that side. The space cotton thins under pressure; the thickness change varies depending on its softness. As the extension end of the electric telescopic rod 6 continues to extend, the spring 10 is compressed, thereby increasing the distance between the detection movable plate 8 and the fixed plate 7. As the distance decreases, the movable plate 8 drives the telescopic rod 12 to slide inward toward the fixed rod 11. The telescopic rod 12 drives the rack 16 to move via the slide plate 17. The movement of the rack 16 drives the rotating shaft gear 15 to rotate through tooth meshing. The rotating shaft gear 15 drives the pointer shaft 14 to rotate. The pointer shaft 14 drives the pointer at one end to rotate. By observing the rotation angle of the pointer, the amount of change in the distance between the movable plate 8 and the fixed plate 7 can be determined, thereby determining the amount of change in the thickness of the space cotton. In addition, the softness of the space cotton can be detected. This tester has high measurement accuracy, is simple and quick to operate, improves detection efficiency, is not affected by external factors, and has high reliability.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
