Description
Technical Field

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, a packaging paperboard water absorption testing device includes: an equipment cabinet 1, a testing box 11 on the top of the equipment cabinet 1, a box body 12 inside the equipment cabinet 1, a water collection box 13 on one side of the testing box 11, and a scraper 14 fixedly installed on the top of the water collection box 13; a testing component, which is located inside the testing box 11 and is used to test the water absorption of the packaging paperboard; and a conveying component, which is located inside the equipment cabinet 1 and is used to convey and discharge the water used for testing.
[0027] When testing the water absorption of packaging paperboard, the paperboard is cut to a suitable size and then tested using a testing component. The test can be conducted by immersion or dripping. The water absorption is calculated by weighing and comparing the original weight. These two testing methods simulate both prolonged and brief contact with water, and combining them more accurately reflects the paperboard's performance under different humidity conditions. A conveying component can transport and discharge the water used for testing, eliminating the need for manual water addition and removal, thus saving time and effort and improving practicality.
[0028] The top of the wiper frame 14 is fixedly mounted with a gantry frame 4. Conveyor rollers 41 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the gantry frame 4 on opposite sides near the bottom. A drive motor 42 is fixedly mounted on one side of the gantry frame 4. One end of the drive shaft of the drive motor 42 is connected to the rotation shaft of the conveyor roller 41. A pressure roller 43 is provided above the conveyor roller 41. Moving grooves 44 are respectively opened on the inner walls of opposite sides of the gantry frame 4. Moving blocks 45 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two moving grooves 44. Springs 46 are connected between the top of the two moving blocks 45 and the top of the moving grooves 44. The rotation shafts of the pressure rollers 43 at opposite ends are rotatably connected to the two moving blocks 45 respectively.
[0029] After the packaging paperboard is inspected, it is placed between the conveyor roller 41 and the pressure roller 43. Then, the drive motor 42 is started to drive the conveyor roller 41 to rotate. The packaging paperboard is conveyed to one side through the conveyor roller 41. With the help of the spring 46 and the moving block 45, pressure is applied to the pressure roller 43 to squeeze out the extra water from the packaging paperboard. The squeezed water flows into the water collection box 13 and is collected to facilitate the weighing of the packaging paperboard after it has absorbed water.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, the detection components include: mounting bracket 2, water box 21, electric push rod 22, drip tube 23, clamp 24, water level sensor 25, and grid plate 26. The bottom of both cavities of the detection box 11 is provided with mounting bracket 2, and water box 21 is provided below each mounting bracket 2. Electric push rod 22 and drip tube 23 are installed on the top of both mounting brackets 2. Clamp 24 is fixedly installed at the output end of the bottom of electric push rod 22. Water level sensor 25 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of water box 21 below electric push rod 22. Grid plate 26 is provided at the bottom of the other water box 21.
[0032] Two test cardboard pieces of the same size and shape are cut from the packaging cardboard. One test cardboard is clamped and fixed by the clamp 24, and the other test cardboard is placed on the grid plate 26. Then, the electric push rod 22 is activated to push the test cardboard downward, so that the lower part of the test cardboard is immersed in the water box 21 to simulate a long-term water contact. The water level sensor 25 can detect the water level change in the water box 21 and open the throttle valve on the drip tube 23 to let water droplets fall. The size of the water droplets can be controlled by the throttle valve. The dripping water droplets fall on the test cardboard on the grid plate 26 to simulate a brief contact with water. The overflowing water flows through the grid plate 26 into the water box 21. After a period of time, the electric push rod 22 is retracted to lift the clamp 24 and the test cardboard, and the throttle valve on the drip tube 23 is closed. Then, the two test cardboard pieces are removed to perform immersion and drip testing on the same piece of packaging cardboard.
[0033] Example 3
[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, the conveying assembly includes: a water tank 3, a wastewater tank 31, an electromagnetic reversing valve a32, a pumping pipe 33, a water supply pipe 34, an electromagnetic reversing valve b35, and a drain pipe 36. The two cavities of the housing 12 each contain a water tank 3 and a wastewater tank 31. An electromagnetic reversing valve a32 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 12. A pumping pipe 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electromagnetic reversing valve a32, extending into the water tank 3. Two water supply pipes 34 are fixedly installed on the top of the electromagnetic reversing valve a32. An electromagnetic reversing valve b35 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water box 21 below the electric push rod 22. Drain pipes 36 are fixedly installed at the output end of the electromagnetic reversing valve b35, the bottom of the water receiving box 13, and the bottom of the other water box 21. The bottom ends of the two drain pipes 36 are connected to the inside of the wastewater tank 31. One water supply pipe 34 is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic reversing valve b35, and the other water supply pipe 34 is connected to the top of the drip cylinder 23.
[0035] Among them, a booster pump 5 is provided on one side of the tank 12, and the output end of the booster pump 5 is connected to the inside of the water tank 3. A vent 51 is provided on one side of the wastewater tank 31, and a filter screen 52 is fixedly installed inside the vent 51.
[0036] When water needs to be added to the water collection box 13, the booster pump 5 starts to pressurize the water tank 3, controlling the pressure within a suitable range, so that the water in the water tank 3 enters the water pumping pipe 33. Then, the solenoid reversing valve a32 starts to connect the water pumping pipe 33 with the water delivery pipe 34 connected to the solenoid reversing valves a32 and b35. At the same time, the solenoid reversing valve b35 starts to connect the water delivery pipe 34 with the water collection box 13, and water flows into the water collection box 13. When the water level sensor 25 detects that the water level has reached the designated water level, the solenoid reversing valves a32 and b35 return to their original positions, disconnecting the connection between the water pumping pipe 33 and the water collection box 13. The solenoid reversing valve a32 then reverses to the other side, connecting the water pumping pipe 33 with another water delivery pipe 34. The water pumping pipe 33 connects with the drip tube 23. The system connects the test water to the drip tube 23. When the throttle valve of the drip tube 23 is opened, water begins to drip. The dripping water is collected in the water box 21. After the soaking and dripping tests are completed, the water in both water boxes 21 needs to be drained. The water dripping into the water box 21 below the drip tube 23 is discharged into the wastewater tank 31 through the drain pipe 36 at the bottom. When the water in the other water box 21 needs to be drained, the electromagnetic reversing valve b35 reverses to connect the drain pipe 36 below with the wastewater tank 31, so that the water in the two water boxes 21 and the water collected by the water receiving box 13 flow back into the wastewater tank 31 through the drain pipe 36. The wastewater tank 31 is connected to the external atmospheric pressure through the vent 51, so that the drain pipe 36 drains smoothly. The filter screen 52 can prevent debris from entering the wastewater tank 31.
