[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The combustion system may include a fire source generating device 31 and a combustion environment control component 32.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 The ignition source generating device 31 can use an adjustable flame size gas burner as the ignition source, using propane gas. It is installed at the bottom center of the device and connected to an external gas tank through a gas pipeline. The precision flow control valve on the gas pipeline can adjust the gas flow rate within the range of 0-5L / min, thereby achieving precise control of the flame height between 10-100mm.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 The data processing and analysis system can transmit the data collected by the sensor to the built-in data acquisition card of the device via a data cable, and then to a computer. The data is displayed in real time and curves are plotted through dedicated testing software. It can also automatically calculate key parameters such as combustion speed, flame duration, and smoke generation rate, and generate detailed test reports.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The device can be designed to be fireproof and explosion-proof, meaning that the entire device is made of fireproof materials, has fireproof partitions inside, an explosion-proof pressure relief valve is installed on the top, and is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to ensure the safe operation of the device.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 The rear of the device can be connected to a hazardous gas treatment device 6, which filters, adsorbs and neutralizes the hazardous gases produced by combustion before they are discharged in compliance with standards.

[0037] Safety warning signs are placed on the outside of the device, and protective railings are installed around it. Operators must wear protective equipment to ensure personal safety.

[0038] The combustion testing device for hair product material testing can be equipped with an independent touch screen control panel, which can set combustion test parameters, view the device's operating status and test data in real time, and also supports remote control function, enabling remote operation and monitoring via network.

[0039] For example, this solution can simulate various real combustion scenarios by precisely adjusting and controlling combustion environment parameters (oxygen concentration, temperature, humidity, etc.) and by deploying sensors in all directions.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 Example 1: Combustion performance test of ordinary synthetic fiber hair products.

[0044] Preparation: Move the device to a suitable test position using the bottom wheels 11, and lock the brake fixing device.

[0045] Open the control panel of the device and set the combustion environment parameters. Set the oxygen concentration to 21% (simulating a normal atmospheric environment), the temperature to 25℃, and the humidity to 50%RH. Adjust the flame height of the gas burner to 50mm by adjusting the gas flow control valve.

[0046] Select a cylindrical piece of ordinary synthetic hair product with a length of 20cm and a diameter of about 1cm, and fix it in place using the metal clamp 22 on the sample holder 21. Adjust the position of the sample by sliding the rail so that the vertical distance between the sample and the tip of the burner flame is 30mm, and adjust the angle of the sample holder 21 to 0 degrees (horizontal placement).

[0047] Combustion test process.

[0048] Click the electronic ignition button on the control panel to ignite the gas burner.

[0049] The combustion phenomenon of the hair product is observed and recorded, while various sensors within the device begin to operate. Flame temperature, flame height, and flame propagation speed sensors collect flame-related data in real time at a sampling frequency of 100Hz; smoke concentration and smoke composition analysis sensors monitor smoke generation; and pressure and gas composition analysis sensors record internal pressure changes and the concentration of harmful gas components.

[0050] The entire combustion process continues until the hair product is completely burned. During this time, the testing software displays various data curves in real time, such as the curve of flame temperature change over time and the curve of smoke concentration increase.

[0051] Data processing and analysis.

[0052] After the combustion test, the testing software automatically calculates key parameters of the hair product, such as the burning rate, flame duration, and smoke generation rate. For example, the calculation shows that the burning rate of this synthetic fiber hair product is 5 mm / min, the flame duration is 120 s, and the smoke generation rate is 3 mg / s.

[0053] Based on the calculation results and the combustion phenomena and data curves recorded during the test, combined with relevant hair product material testing standards, the flame retardant performance and combustion characteristics of this ordinary chemical fiber hair product are evaluated, and a detailed test report is generated.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 Example 2: Comparative combustion test of natural hair products and synthetic fiber blended hair products.

[0055] Preparation.

[0056] First, fix the device and set the combustion environment parameters. Set the oxygen concentration to 18% to simulate a relatively low oxygen environment; set the temperature to 30℃ and the humidity to 60%RH; adjust the flame height of the gas burner to 30mm.

[0057] Select a section of natural hair product of the same specifications as in Example 1 and a section of hair product made by mixing natural hair and synthetic fibers in a 1:1 ratio. Fix the natural hair product on the sample holder 21 and adjust its position so that the vertical distance from the flame tip is 25mm and the angle is 15 degrees. After fixing the mixed hair product, adjust its position so that the vertical distance from the flame tip is 25mm and the angle is also 15 degrees.

[0058] Combustion test process.

[0059] Ignition and combustion tests were conducted on natural hair products and blended hair products in sequence. During the tests, various sensors collected data in real time and recorded data such as combustion phenomena, flame parameters, smoke parameters, pressure changes and gas composition of the two types of hair products under the same combustion environment.

[0060] It was observed that natural hair products burned with a gentler flame and produced relatively less smoke; while blended hair products burned with a more intense flame and produced significantly more smoke.

[0061] Data processing and analysis.

[0062] The testing software calculated various combustion parameters for the two types of hair products. For example, the combustion speed of the natural hair product was 3 mm / min, the flame duration was 90 s, and the smoke generation rate was 2 mg / s; the combustion speed of the mixed hair product was 6 mm / min, the flame duration was 150 s, and the smoke generation rate was 4 mg / s.

[0063] By comparing the combustion parameters and test phenomena of two types of hair products, the differences in their flame retardant properties and combustion characteristics are analyzed, and a test report containing the comparison results is generated, providing a basis for the quality assessment and performance improvement of hair product materials.

[0064] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0065] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
