Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastics processing, and in particular to a melt flow rate meter for testing modified plastics. Background Technology

[0002] A melt flow rate meter, also known as a melt indexer, is mainly used to determine the melt flow rate of various plastics and resins, including modified plastics, in a viscous flow state. It is widely used in plastics production, plastic products, petrochemicals, and other fields, as well as in universities, research institutions, and quality inspection departments. Under specified temperature and load, a modified plastic sample is placed in a heating furnace and heated to a molten state. It is then extruded through a standard die under gravity or external force. The mass or volume of the extruded plastic melt is measured within a certain time to obtain the melt flow rate. This value reflects the viscous flow characteristics of the modified plastic in the molten state. It is easy to operate, with a user-friendly interface, and is equipped with a touch screen or button control panel for easy setting of test parameters.

[0003] Melt flow rate meters for modified plastics testing use cylinders to press the material. The cylinders allow for precise control of pressure and application speed. Different modified plastics require specific pressure conditions to accurately measure their melt flow rate. Compared to traditional weight loading methods, cylinders can more accurately meet these requirements, reducing pressure fluctuations and improving the accuracy and repeatability of test results. For some modified plastics sensitive to pressure changes, precise pressure control can avoid measurement errors caused by pressure instability. The cylinders can quickly respond to control signals, enabling rapid pressure application and adjustment. During testing, if the pressure needs to be changed according to sample characteristics or test requirements, the cylinders can react quickly, saving testing time and improving efficiency. Simultaneously, it facilitates real-time monitoring and fine-tuning of the pressure during testing to ensure the stability of test conditions.

[0004] Melt flow rate meters for modified plastics testing often involve manual pressure application or other cumbersome pressing methods. This not only increases the workload of operators but also slows down the operation, prolonging each test and reducing efficiency. When testing a large number of samples, manual pressing consumes significant time and effort, affecting the testing progress. It is also difficult to precisely adjust the pressure, leading to pressure instability and variations in pressure conditions between tests, impacting the accuracy and repeatability of results. When testing different batches of modified plastics requiring the same pressure conditions, inaccurate pressure control results in significant deviations, failing to accurately reflect the true melt flow rate of the material. For some modified plastics sensitive to pressure changes, the inability to precisely control pressure increases the error in test results, potentially leading to incorrect conclusions and affecting the accurate evaluation of material properties. Therefore, a melt flow rate meter for modified plastics testing is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the operation of the cylinder causes the pressing rod to press the material. By adjusting the air source pressure and flow rate, the output pressure of the cylinder can be easily adjusted to meet the testing requirements of different modified plastics. Whether it is a low-viscosity or high-viscosity modified plastic, the appropriate pressing pressure can be obtained through simple adjustment to ensure the accuracy of the test. The cylinder can quickly respond to the control signal to realize the rapid start and stop of the pressing action. In the testing of modified plastics, this helps to quickly build up the required pressure, so that the melt quickly passes through the die, improving the testing efficiency. It is especially suitable for occasions where the testing time is critical. The cylinder usually has good overload protection capability. When encountering excessive resistance or exceeding the set pressure, the cylinder will automatically stop or buffer to avoid damage to the instrument and sample.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the motor can be replaced by disassembling the components. When the motor malfunctions, such as a short circuit in the motor windings or wear of the motor bearings, directly replacing the motor can quickly eliminate the fault and avoid affecting the normal operation of the test due to excessive time spent on motor repair. Moreover, for some complex motor faults, repair requires professional technology and equipment, while replacing the motor is relatively simple, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance. As the usage time increases, the performance of the motor will gradually decline, such as unstable speed and reduced output torque. Timely replacement of the motor can ensure that the instrument is always in good operating condition and avoid additional wear and pressure on other parts of the instrument due to the decline in motor performance, thereby extending the service life of the entire melt flow rate meter.

When the cylinder 2 13 drives the connecting plate 2 14 to slide the buckles 15 outward, the buckles 15 disengage from the fixing plate 2 17. At this time, the solid... The fixed plate 17, along with the motor 18 fixed inside it and the scraper 19 fixed at the drive end of the motor 18, can be removed from the melt indexer 21 for disassembly.
