Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corrosion sample processing technology, specifically relating to a rod-shaped corrosion sample forming device. Background Technology
[0002] In corrosion tests evaluating the corrosion resistance of alloys, the pretreatment of the specimens is crucial, especially the epoxy resin coating of bar specimens, which directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results. For specimens such as the lead bars of tubular positive plate grids and machined cylindrical specimens, their structural characteristics dictate the special nature of the coating operation—a uniform and complete epoxy resin protective layer needs to be formed on the surface of the bar to isolate non-test areas from the corrosive environment, ensuring that the test only affects the predetermined test area.
[0003] However, current conventional epoxy resin coating operations face numerous challenges. Epoxy resin itself has strong fluidity, making it prone to sagging during coating. To avoid this problem, operators must hold the rod and rotate it continuously 360°, requiring constant monitoring throughout the coating and initial curing stages. This not only demands extremely high operator skill and endurance, but maintaining the same action for extended periods can also lead to operator fatigue, affecting the uniformity of the coating. Even with constant focus, it's difficult to guarantee a completely consistent coating thickness, often resulting in areas that are too thick or too thin. Even momentary operational errors can cause coating defects. If such samples proceed to corrosion testing, the damaged protective layer may distort the test data, affecting the accurate assessment of the alloy's corrosion resistance.
[0004] This manual operation method not only greatly increases the difficulty and labor intensity of the operators, but also poses the risk of unstable coating quality. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop a mold that can realize the one-piece molding of epoxy resin encapsulation of rods.
[0005] CN219664187U discloses an epoxy resin coating device for rebar surfaces, including a chassis, gearbox, drive shaft, fixing mechanism, power mechanism, and moving mechanism. This device can quickly and evenly coat the surface of rebar with epoxy resin through the coordinated operation of these mechanisms. It can also be dried during coating, reducing labor intensity and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, it provides a limit at one end of the rebar to prevent it from swinging during rotation, enhancing safety. This device automates the epoxy resin coating process on rebar surfaces, achieving uniform and rapid coating with a drying function, thus improving work efficiency and safety. However, this device is suitable for epoxy resin coating of large-size products, but suffers from insufficient adaptability and high cost for small-size products. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the problems of cumbersome and costly epoxy resin coating of rod-shaped samples in the existing technology, this utility model provides a rod-shaped corrosion sample forming device.
[0007] The rod-shaped corrosion sample forming device of this utility model includes a positioning pile, a positioning plate, a forming mold, and a vacuum system. The positioning pile and the positioning plate are located inside a sealed box. The forming mold is sleeved on the outside of the rod-shaped sample and fixed to the positioning pile and the positioning plate. The vacuum system is connected to the sealed box, and a vacuum gauge is installed on the connecting pipeline.
[0008] Preferably, the positioning stake is located at the bottom of the sealed box, and the positioning stake is provided with a positioning hole. A positioning plug is installed at the positioning hole. The positioning hole can be provided with different diameters and shapes, and the positioning plug is adapted to the positioning hole.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning plate is detachably fixed in the middle of the sealed box, and the position and parameters of the positioning holes on the positioning plate are consistent with those of the positioning pile, ensuring that the rod-shaped sample can be placed vertically inside the sealed box.
[0010] Preferably, the molding die includes a mold cavity body and a positioning ring. The mold cavity body is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and adopts a segmented, detachable structure, consisting of an upper tube, a middle tube, and a lower tube. The lower end face of the upper tube has a circumferentially formed an annular groove, and the upper end face of the middle tube has a corresponding annular protrusion. The structure of the lower end face of the middle tube is consistent with that of the lower end face of the upper tube (i.e., it also has an annular groove), and the structure of the upper end face of the lower tube is consistent with that of the upper end face of the middle tube (i.e., it has an annular protrusion). Furthermore, the annular protrusion matches the annular groove. The middle tube can be increased or decreased according to the actual epoxy resin coating height.
[0011] Preferably, an annular groove is pre-set on the inner wall of the lower section tube to embed a silicone bushing. Furthermore, when the diameter of the rod-shaped sample is different, the inner diameter of the mold cavity can be quickly adjusted by replacing the silicone bushing of different thicknesses to accommodate rod-shaped samples of different diameters.
[0012] Preferably, the positioning ring is located inside the upper section of the tube. The positioning ring has a double-ring structure, consisting of an outer ring, an inner ring, and a connecting rib. The outer diameter of the outer ring matches the inner diameter of the mold cavity, the inner ring is made of rubber, and the connecting rib has a hollow structure. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the inner ring matches the outer diameter of the rod-shaped sample and is smaller than the outer diameter of the rod-shaped sample. The rubber material of the inner ring is elastic, which can ensure that the rod-shaped sample is firmly fixed in the center position. The hollow structure is used for injecting epoxy resin.
[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the upper section of the pipe is provided with a reaction zone scale line, and an overflow hole is provided at the reaction zone scale line. Furthermore, the overflow hole is used to overflow excess epoxy resin to prevent it from affecting the length of the reaction zone. The reaction zone scale line is located at the lower part of the positioning ring.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The rod-shaped corrosion sample forming device of this utility model features a segmented, detachable mold for easy assembly and disassembly, a double-ring structure with positioning rings and hollow connecting ribs to simplify the operation process; positioning posts, positioning plates, and replaceable silicone bushings can accommodate rod-shaped samples of various specifications, offering strong versatility; the positioning structure ensures the vertical placement of the rod-shaped sample, while the scale lines and overflow holes ensure coating accuracy and improve sample quality; the forming mold is reusable, reducing costs, and the vacuum system reduces coating bubbles and enhances stability, making it suitable for the efficient preparation of corrosion samples.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the specific steps for using the rod-shaped corrosion sample forming device are as follows:
