摘要

In order to achieve automatic fast reset of the falling-body (FB) viscometer, and reduce the volume of the device and the amount of sample used, this paper proposes to use a single coil to reset the FB and use another single coil to measure the FB position. In this paper, the characterization ability of the sensing coil impedance to the FB position and its influencing factors, and the reset ability of the driving coil to the FB and its enhancement factors, are studied via electromagnetic finite element simulations and experiments. There is a linear zone between the FB position and the sensing coil impedance, with the slope being largest. The lower limit of the FB motion should be designed in this linear zone to accurately determine the moment when the FB reaches the lower limit point. Increase in the FB height, and in the number of turns of the sensing coil, and decrease in the wire diameter are beneficial to the FB positioning. There is a maximum force point when the FB approaches the driving coil, and the FB’s motion range needs to cover this point for reliable reset. Using iron plugs allows the FB to obtain greater electromagnetic attraction and ensure its successful reset. Experimental results show that the device requires only 1 mL of sample to measure liquid viscosity. For 9.5-1265 mPa⋅s dimethyl silicone oil, the average absolute value of the relative measurement error is 0.22% and the maximum value is 4.3%.
