Definitions
- the present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks and to provide an apparatus for the automatic and non-destructive determination of the class of standardized mechanical properties of a sample of a hygroscopic material such as wood, from measurements carried out by the apparatus. itself on the sample considered.
- the invention is in accordance with claim 1.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic overview of this embodiment.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view of one of the two multiple detector heads that this embodiment comprises.
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the apparatus according to FIG. In fig. 1, we see in 1 a wooden beam which we want to know the class of standardized mechanical property to which it belongs.
- the body of the head 2 is made of electrically insulating material. It is equipped inside with a sliding body 2a, inside which is arranged a piezoelectric transducer 11 serving either for the emission of ultrasonic waves, or for the reception of these.
- the body 2 is integral with two metal points 10, 12 intended to be pressed into the beam 1, as shown in the drawing, to ensure the fixing of the body 2 against a face of the beam 1, when they are pressed into this face by acting for example with a hammer on the left end of the head 2, in FIG. 2.
- a compression spring 9 is used to apply the transducer 11 against the end of the beam. It also serves to protect the transducer from shocks during the insertion of the tips 10, 12.
- These points 10, 12 serve as a probe for measuring the electrical resistance between them in order to determine the degree of humidity inside the beam 1.
- One of the points, 12, is thermally connected to a thermistor 13 arranged in a cavity of the body 2 and which is used to measure the temperature in the beam 1.
- the piezoelectric transducer 11 of the body 3 receives the ultrasonic waves emitted by the transducer 11 of the body 2.
- the sensor elements of the heads 2, 3 are electrically connected to a box 4 in which the electronic devices are located which will be indicated below, and which comprises the keyboard 5 and a display device 6 with LCD for example .
- these connections are made by cables such as 7 ensuring the transmission of information going from the detectors to the electronic devices which are in the housing 4.
- the keyboard 5 is used to supply these devices with data supplied by the operator, for example the length of the beam, and the number of a code corresponding to the species of material constituting the beam 1 (species of tree for example ).
- the emission of an ultrasonic wave is carried out by the device 11 of the head 2 (FIG. 2), while the reception is carried out by the same element of the identical head 3.
- the information provided by the two devices 11, by the probes 10, 12 of the two heads 2 and 3, and by the two thermistors 13 of 2 and 3 are supplied to the housing 4.
- Fig. 3 schematically shows the various electronic devices which are in the housing 4 or associated with it.
- a microprocessor module 35 associated with a RAM memory 32, a ROM memory 33 and
- thermometric device 18 which is a thermometric device converting the information it receives, via its terminal 19, from the thermistor 13 and which supplies the microprocessor, by 30, the value of the measured temperature.
- the microprocessor gives work orders to device 18, via line 29;
- hygrometric device 20 which is a hygrometric device converting the information it receives, via its terminal 21, hygrometric probes 10, 12, and which converts them into a value corresponding to the degree of humidity measured, to supply them by 28 , to the microprocessor 31.
- the latter gives work orders to the device 20, by a line 27;
- the information calculated by the microprocessor namely the speed of propagation of the ultrasound, the value of the degree of humidity measured and the temperature measured, are stored in the RAM memory 32. From this data, the microprocessor calculates the normalized speed of propagation ultrasonic wave, for the standard values of 12% humidity and 20 ° C temperature, for example, using the following procedure.
- v -, 1 being the length of the beam and t the travel time of this length.
- the length 1 is previously entered using the keyboard 5 and t is measured by 22.
- the normalization coefficient K ⁇ has been determined in advance, experimentally; it is stored, for each wood species, in the ROM memory 33 (the coded value of the wood species of beam 1, is entered by the keyboard 17):
- V 20 ° C ⁇ l- v
- Electronic Moisture Meters MO 5819 These tables are memorized in the ROM memory 33.
- the microprocessor 31 searches in these tables, the value of the degree of humidity at 20 ° C corresponding to the value measured at the temperature measured by 18.
- v norm K 2- V 20 ° C + ⁇ 3
- the microprocessor 31 searches, in a memorized table, for limit values for propagation of ultrasonic waves in the material of which it is made.
- beam 1 in which class is the value of this normalized ultrasonic speed.
- Class 2 5200 m / s ⁇ v norm ⁇ 5400 m / s
- Class 1 5400 m / s ⁇ v norm ⁇ 5650 m / s
- the microprocessor having thus found the class to which the beam 1 belongs, it makes it display the indication to the display device 6, at the same time as it stores the information in the RAM memory 32, for later use. possible.
- the microprocessor module 35 is equipped with a non-volatile memory EEPROM 34, which stores the calibration constants of the device.
- the device has been described in the case of wood, it is not limited to this example of use. It can be used for all hygroscopic materials for which it is desired to determine the class of mechanical properties to which it belongs.
- the device is light and not bulky enough to be portable. It can be used for measurements made in any direction in the material to be tested.
