Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal insulation performance testing technology, specifically to an aerogel intelligent gripping thermal insulation testing platform based on a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal insulation performance testing is a test method used to evaluate the ability of a material or structure to prevent heat transfer.
[0003] As an emerging material, aerogel typically requires performance testing before production. Among these tests, thermal insulation is a crucial property. The conventional method involves manually placing the aerogel to be tested on a heated platform. After heating, the temperature of the aerogel's surfaces facing away from and in contact with the platform is measured, and the temperature difference is used to determine its thermal insulation performance. However, this method is manual and carries the risk of burns when the platform temperature rises. Therefore, a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm-based intelligent aerogel gripping thermal insulation testing platform is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerogel intelligent gripping and heat insulation test platform based on a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm includes: a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 2 and a heating platform;
[0034] The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 2 is disposed on the side of the mounting base 1, and a second temperature sensor 10 is disposed on the top wall inside the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 includes a base 11, and a support frame 12 and a heating platform are disposed on the upper surface of the base 11. The second temperature sensor 10 is disposed on the side of the base 11 facing the heating platform.
[0035] The heating platform is disposed on the upper surface of the mounting base 1 and includes a housing 3 and an aperture adjustment mechanism. The upper surface of the housing 3 is provided with an opening, and an electric heating block 5 and a first temperature sensor 6 are disposed on the inner bottom wall. The aperture adjustment mechanism is disposed inside the housing 3 and located at the opening.
[0036] Based on the above, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 2 can replace manual labor to place the aerogel block to be tested on the surface of the heating platform, and after the test is completed, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 2 can remove the aerogel block. In this process, using a robotic arm to replace manual labor can effectively avoid accidental burns.
[0037] like Figures 3-6As shown, the outer shell 3 includes a lower shell 31, and an upper shell 36 is provided on the upper surface of the lower shell 31. The upper shell 36 and the lower shell 31 are provided with movable grooves on opposite sides. The top of the upper shell 36 is provided with an opening, the length and width of which are smaller than the length and width of the movable groove, respectively. The opening is located directly below the second temperature sensor 10. Both the lower shell 31 and the upper shell 36 are made of heat-insulating material.
[0038] The bottom wall inside the lower housing 31 is provided with a first mounting groove 33, a second mounting groove 34 and two motor grooves 35. The first mounting groove 33 is provided with a heating block 5, and the second mounting groove 34 is provided with a first temperature sensor 6.
[0039] Two guide plates 32 are respectively provided on both sides of the interior of the active slot. A guide slot is provided between the two guide plates 32 on one side. A servo motor 7 is provided inside each of the two motor slots 35. A threaded screw 8 extending into the guide slot is provided at the output shaft of the servo motor 7. Two transverse slots 37 are provided on both sides of the upper housing 36 where there are no guide plates 32.
[0040] Based on the above, the upper shell 36 and the lower shell 31 cooperate with each other to form the main shell. The upper surface of the shell is provided with an opening. When the aerogel block to be tested is placed on the upper surface of the shell 3, the opening allows the hot air inside the shell 3 to directly contact the aerogel block, thereby heating the lower surface of the aerogel block.
[0041] The heating block 5 serves as the heating element, generating heat through electricity to heat the interior of the outer shell 3. Since the outer shell 3 is made of heat-insulating material, the heat can only dissipate from the opening, avoiding a significant impact on the ambient temperature. This increases the accuracy of the second temperature sensor 10 in measuring the upper surface of the aerogel block. Here, the second temperature sensor 10 is preferably an infrared temperature sensor. By detecting the temperature inside the outer shell 3 through the first temperature sensor 6 and comparing the temperature difference between the two temperature sensors, the heat insulation performance of the aerogel block can be determined.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the hole adjustment mechanism includes two hinge frames 9 and two adjustment plates 4. The hinge frame 9 includes an internal thread block 91. The internal thread block 91 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded screw 8 and threadedly connected to the threaded screw 8. The internal thread block 91 is located inside the guide groove. The two internal thread blocks 91 are provided with hinge protrusions 92 on opposite sides.
[0043] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hinge protrusion 92 is hinged to the adjusting plate 4. The adjusting plate 4 includes a plate body 41. A hinge interface 43 is provided on the side of the plate body 41 facing the hinge frame 9. A hinge shaft 44 is provided inside the hinge interface 43. The hinge protrusion 92 is sleeved on the outside of the hinge shaft 44. The adjusting plate 4 is made of heat-insulating material. Guide blocks 42 are provided on both sides of the plate body 41. The guide blocks 42 extend into the interior of the transverse groove 37.
[0044] Based on the above, the hole adjustment mechanism has the effect of adjusting the opening size. Since the aerogel blocks are of different sizes, when conducting heat insulation tests on aerogel blocks of different sizes, the servo motor 7 is powered to drive the threaded screw 8 to rotate. The hinge frame 9 moves vertically along the direction of the guide groove under the action of the threaded transmission. During this process, the adjustment plate 4 moves vertically along the hinge frame 9 with the side of the hinge frame 9 that is hinged to each other. The guide block 42 moves horizontally along the direction of the transverse groove 37, thereby changing the angle of the adjustment plate 4 and the distance between the two adjustment plates 4. Thus, when aerogel blocks of different sizes are placed on the surface of the heating platform, they will not fall from the opening into the shell 3.
[0045] Furthermore, the regulating plate 4 is made of heat-insulating material to prevent the regulating plate 4 from transferring heat and causing the temperature of the external environment to rise, thereby making the measurement results of the second temperature sensor 10 more accurate.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
