The honeycomb structure is a columnar structure having partition walls that form a plurality of cells extending from a first end face that is one end face to a second end face that is the other end face, and an outer peripheral wall located at the outermost periphery. (For example, patent document 1).

  As one of the durability quality evaluation of such a ceramic honeycomb structure, a drop impact test is sometimes performed (for example, Non-Patent Document 1). Examples of the drop impact test on the ceramic honeycomb structure include the following methods. First, a spherical drop test object is held vertically above a columnar honeycomb structure. Next, the drop test object is freely dropped toward the honeycomb structure and collided with a measurement location of the honeycomb structure. Next, the presence or absence of chipping or cracking is inspected by visual observation or the like at the measurement location of the honeycomb structure on which the drop test object collides. In the drop impact test, the durability of the target honeycomb structure is evaluated by performing a test while changing the mass of the drop test object, the distance to the collision, and the like. Moreover, in the drop impact test, the test may be performed on various places such as a side surface (outer peripheral wall) and an end surface of the honeycomb structure.

Should.

(1) Honeycomb structure drop impact test equipment:
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, one embodiment of the honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus of the present invention includes a holding means 30, a drop path 40, a collision detection means 50, a rebound prevention means 60, A honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus 100 comprising: A honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is a drop impact test apparatus in which a columnar honeycomb structure 10 is an inspection object, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the honeycomb structure 10 includes a partition wall 1 that partitions and forms a plurality of cells 2 extending from a first end surface 11 to a second end surface 12 serving as a fluid flow path, and an outer peripheral wall 3 disposed at the outermost periphery. It is a columnar structure part having. The honeycomb structure 10 is used as a filter for exhaust gas purification and a catalyst carrier. The partition walls 1 and the outer peripheral wall 3 of the honeycomb structure 10 are made of, for example, a porous body made of ceramic. The drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 drops a spherical drop test object 20 from vertically above the honeycomb structure 10 and causes the drop test object 20 to collide with the honeycomb structure 10. Thus, it is an apparatus for inspecting the durability of the honeycomb structure 10.

  Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of a drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure of the present invention as viewed from one direction. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure of the present invention as viewed from another direction. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view schematically showing a cross section of an embodiment of the drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a perspective view schematically showing a honeycomb structure to be inspected by the drop impact test apparatus for honeycomb structure of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the “honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus” of the present embodiment may be simply referred to as “drop impact test apparatus”. The honeycomb structure is an object to be tested (object to be tested) in the drop impact test apparatus, and is not a part of the constituent elements of the drop impact test apparatus.

The holding means 30 holds the magnetic drop test object 20 vertically above the columnar honeycomb structure 10 and releases the holding state of the drop test object 20 at the start of dropping. Holding means 30, that has a second electromagnet 31 to hold the drop test object 20 having magnetic. By generating a magnetic force by energizing the second electromagnet 31, the magnetic drop test object 20 is held, and by energizing the second electromagnet 31, the magnetic drop test object 20 is stopped. Holding can be released .

  The drop path 40 is a path that is provided between the holding means 20 and the honeycomb structure 10 and through which the drop test object 20 passes. The drop path 40 is preferably a path that extends in the vertical direction so that the drop test object 20 released from the holding state by the holding means 20 falls freely and collides with the honeycomb structure 10. The fall path 40 can be a cylindrical one having a cylindrical side wall 41.

  The collision detection unit 50 is a detection unit that detects that the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10. As the collision detection means 50, a light or vibration is detected when the drop test object 20 collides with the honeycomb structure 10, and a movement transition of the drop test object 20 is measured by laser light, infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, or the like. In addition, examples include those that detect a collision with the honeycomb structure 10.

  The rebound prevention means 60 includes an electromagnet 61 arranged at the periphery of the drop path 20 and an energization section 62 that energizes the electromagnet 61 based on detection information of the collision detection means 50.

  The drop impact test apparatus 100 of the present embodiment does not prevent the first drop test object 20 from colliding with the honeycomb structure 10, and the drop test object 20 rebounds and collides with the honeycomb structure 10 again. This can be effectively prevented. For example, the state of the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 3 is the state at the start of the drop impact test. In the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 3 (at the start of dropping), the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60 is not energized, and no magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60. Hereinafter, in this specification, the energization of the electromagnet is stopped, and that the electromagnet is not energized and no magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet is referred to as “off”. There is. On the other hand, the energization of the electromagnet and the generation of a magnetic force in the electromagnet due to the energization may be referred to as “on”.

  When the drop impact test is started, the energization of the holding means 30 to the second electromagnet 31 is turned off, and the holding of the magnetic drop test object 20 is released. The drop test object 20 falls in the drop path 40 toward the honeycomb structure 10. As shown in FIG. 4, there is nothing that prevents the free fall of the drop test object 20 until the drop test object 20 collides with the honeycomb structure 10. Note that a slight air resistance can be considered when the drop test object 20 is dropped, but in this description, the air resistance with respect to the drop test object 20 is ignored. Since the coefficient of restitution in the collision between the drop test object 20 and the honeycomb structure 10 is usually zero or more, the drop test object 20 is rebounded and rebounds in the fall path 40 vertically upward. In the drop impact test apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the collision detection means 50 detects that the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10. And the detection signal by this collision detection means 50 is transmitted to the electricity supply part 62 of the rebound prevention means 60 promptly. The collision detection unit 50 includes a detection unit 51 that detects that the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10, and a signal transmission unit 52 that transmits detection information detected by the detection unit 51 to the rebound prevention unit 60. It is preferable to have. The energization unit 62 turns on the energization of the electromagnet 61 based on the detection information from the collision detection means 50 informing that “the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10”. When energization of the electromagnet 61 is turned on, a magnetic force is generated around the electromagnet 61. The energization unit 62 preferably has a control unit that controls on / off of energization to the electromagnet 61 based on detection information of the collision detection unit 50.

  And the fall test object 20 which rebounded and bounced the inside of the fall path | route 40 vertically upward like the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 5 is attracted by the magnetic force which generate | occur | produces from the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60, The movement is stopped in the fall path 40. Thereby, re-impact of the rebound drop test object 20 to the honeycomb structure 10 can be effectively prevented. In addition, since ON / OFF of the energization of the electromagnet 61 is switched when the drop test object 20 collides with the honeycomb structure 10, the first drop test object 20 collides with the honeycomb structure 10. The magnetic force generated from the electromagnet 61 is not hindered. Therefore, according to the drop impact test apparatus 100 of this embodiment, a highly reliable drop impact test with high accuracy and high reproducibility can be performed. Here, FIGS. 4 and 5 are schematic cross-sectional views schematically showing a cross-section of one embodiment of the drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10. FIG. 5 shows a state in which, after the drop test object 20 rebounds, it is attracted to the magnetic force generated from the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60 and stops moving.

(1-1) Drop test object:
The drop test object is not particularly limited as long as it has magnetism. The drop test object should have a spherical shape (for example, a spherical weight) so as to collide with a predetermined portion of the honeycomb structure with good reproducibility and reduce the air resistance at the time of dropping. preferable. The size of the drop test object is not particularly limited, and should be set as appropriate according to the inner diameter of the drop path 40, the size of the honeycomb structure 10 as the test object, and the test conditions of the drop impact test. Can do.

  As described above, the material of the drop test object may be any material having magnetism, and examples thereof include iron and 400 series stainless steel.

(1-2) Fall path:
The drop path is a path through which a drop test object provided between the holding means and the honeycomb structure passes. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is preferable that the falling path 40 has a cylindrical side wall 41. Further, the dropping path 40 has a cylindrical side wall 41, a part of the peripheral edge on one end side of the side wall 41 is cut out, and the honeycomb structure 10 is put in the cut out part 42. It may be arranged. With this configuration, the cylindrical side wall portion 41 can be easily disposed on the honeycomb structure 10, and the test accuracy of the drop test is improved. For example, the drop test object 20 can easily collide with the target location of the honeycomb structure 10. In particular, when the drop path 40 is composed of a cylindrical side wall 41 and a notched portion 42, the drop impact test apparatus 100 can be carried, and the honeycomb structure 10 that is the object to be tested can be transported. On the other hand, the arrangement position of the drop impact test apparatus 100 can be adjusted. For example, a conventionally known drop impact test device is a device in which the device itself is fixed, and the honeycomb structure is placed on the fixed device for testing. In addition, it was difficult to cause the drop test object to collide.

  The drop path may be provided with a vent hole through which gas (air) moves inside and outside the path when the drop test object passes. When the object to be dropped is dropped, a slight air resistance may occur. Although the influence of the air resistance on the test result of the drop test is very small, the influence of the air resistance on the test result can be further reduced by forming a vent in the drop path. There is no restriction | limiting in particular about the shape of a vent hole, It can form by making a hole in several places of the side wall part of a fall path | route. Further, the side wall of the dropping path may be made of a mesh member, and the mesh of the mesh member may be used as a vent. As will be described later, when the holding means and the rebound prevention means are configured to be movable along the path direction of the fall path, the movement path of the holding means and the rebound prevention means has the function of the vent. You may have.

  There is no particular limitation on the vertical length of the fall path. For example, if the length of the drop path in the vertical direction is long, the drop distance of the drop test object can be changed over a wide range. On the other hand, if the length of the drop path in the vertical direction is too long, the drop impact test apparatus becomes large, and the convenience of carrying the drop impact test apparatus decreases. From such a viewpoint, the vertical length of the dropping path is preferably 30 to 400 mm, and more preferably 50 to 200 mm. In addition, the inner diameter of the drop path can be set as appropriate according to the size of the drop test object. The clearance between the inner diameter of the drop path and the diameter of the drop test object is preferably 1 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or less.

(1-3) Collision detection means:
The collision detection means detects that the drop test object has collided with the honeycomb structure. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the collision detection unit includes a detection unit 51 that detects that the drop test object 20 has collided with the honeycomb structure 10, and a rebound prevention unit that detects detection information detected by the detection unit 51. It is preferable to have the transmission part 22 which transmits to 60.

  The detection unit 51 may directly detect the collision of the drop test target 20 with the honeycomb structure 10 by an image or the like, or may detect sound or vibration generated by the collision. Further, the detection unit 51 detects the drop test object 20 falling from above in the vicinity of the honeycomb structure 10, and from the distance to the honeycomb structure 10 and the drop speed of the drop test object 20, etc. The collision with the honeycomb structure 10 may be indirectly detected.

  An example of a detection unit that detects sound generated by a collision (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “sound detection unit”) includes a microphone and an FFT analysis unit. When such a sound detection unit is used, the microphone collects the sound around the planned collision location of the honeycomb structure, and the FFT analysis unit analyzes the sound wave with the amplitude waveform of the collected sound. The FFT analysis unit stores in advance the amplitude waveform (specific amplitude waveform) of the collision sound when the drop test object collides with the honeycomb structure, and the sound of the specific amplitude waveform (that is, the collision sound). ) Is collected, it is detected that the drop test object has collided with the honeycomb structure. According to such a sound detection unit, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of a collision with high accuracy with a relatively simple configuration.

  In the sound detection unit, the sound detected by the microphone of the sound detection unit is subjected to sound wave analysis by the FFT analysis unit, and the damage detection unit detects the damage state of the honeycomb structure by the collision sound when the drop test object collides May further be included. That is, the collision sound when the drop test object collides shows different amplitude waveforms depending on whether the honeycomb structure is damaged or not damaged due to the impact of the collision. For this reason, the presence or absence of breakage of the honeycomb structure can be detected by sound wave analysis of the collected collision sound. In the drop test of the honeycomb structure, for example, an “impact destruction evaluation test” for testing whether or not the honeycomb structure is damaged under a specific drop condition, and a drop impact is applied until the honeycomb structure is damaged. There is an “impact fracture limit test” in which the limit of fracture is tested by increasing it sequentially. In the impact fracture evaluation test, after the test is completed, the honeycomb structure is taken out from the device, and the test result can be obtained by examining the collision location of the honeycomb structure. However, in the impact fracture limit test, the damage has occurred. If not, drop test must be performed again. Once the cylindrical honeycomb structure is taken out from the drop impact test apparatus, it is extremely difficult to cause the drop test object to collide with the same measurement location in the next test. As described above, by detecting the presence or absence of damage from the impact sound, it is possible to continuously perform the drop test without taking out the honeycomb structure from the drop impact test apparatus. For example, “CF-7200A (trade name)” manufactured by Ono Sokki Co., Ltd. can be used as an analysis device for performing sound wave analysis in the sound detection unit.

  As a method of detecting a collision, a method using a vibration sensor can be given. In addition, examples of the detection unit that indirectly detects the collision between the drop test object and the honeycomb structure 10 include a detection unit that measures the movement transition of the drop test object using laser light, infrared rays, ultrasonic waves, or the like. it can.

(1-4) Rebound prevention means:
The rebound prevention means uses the magnetic force of the electromagnet to prevent re-collision with the honeycomb structure due to rebound of the drop test object. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the electromagnet 61 disposed on the periphery of the dropping path 40 and the energization unit 62 that energizes the electromagnet 61 based on the detection information of the collision detection means 50 are included.

  The position where the electromagnet 61 is provided may be vertically above the position where the honeycomb structure 10 and the drop test object 20 collide, and is appropriately set in consideration of the amount of rebound of the drop test object 20. That is, if the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60 is provided in a range in which the drop test object 20 bounces vertically upward due to the first collision between the honeycomb structure 10 and the drop test object 20, the electromagnet 61 generates it. The drop test object 20 can be stopped in the middle of the drop path 40 by the magnetic force. Considering the possibility that the drop test object 20 is held at the bottom of the electromagnet 61, the position where the electromagnet 61 is provided is that the distance from the collision position to the lower point of the drop test object 20 is 0.2 mm or more. Is preferably 0.5 mm or more. If it is less than 0.2 mm, the drop test object 20 may collide with the honeycomb structure 10 when the drop test object 20 attracted to the electromagnet 61 vibrates in the vertical direction.

The strength of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 61 is such that the attractive force F (N) shown in the following formula (1) is the weight mg (N) of the drop test object 20 [g: gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m / s ² ). ] Should be exceeded. That is, F (N)> mg (N) may be satisfied.
F = Sb ² / (2 μ) (1)
(Here, in the above formula (1), b [T] indicates the magnetic flux density of the DC electromagnet. Μ [H / m] is the gap permeability (Air: 1.0000004 × 4 × π × 10 ^{− 7} ) indicates S. [m ² ] indicates the area of the electromagnet.)

  Further, assuming that the safety factor is A and generating a magnetic force satisfying the condition of F = A · mg is a basic condition of the electromagnet, and A> 1 is a necessary condition for operating the drop impact test apparatus. . In order to hold the drop test object 20 reliably, it is preferable that A> 2.

Anti-rebound means that is configured to be movable along a path direction of the fall path. By comprising in this way, the position in which an electromagnet is provided can be changed suitably in consideration of the amount of rebound of the drop test object. Further, as will be described in detail later, when the next drop test is continuously performed from the state where the drop test object is attracted by the rebound prevention means, the rebound prevention means is used as the holding means, and the holding means is the rebound prevention means. It becomes possible to perform the test used as. By configuring in this way, the preparation work for holding the “drop test object” held in the rebound prevention means by the holding means again becomes unnecessary. For this reason, a smooth drop test can be realized. In addition, the honeycomb structure can be prevented from being displaced due to the resetting of the drop test object, and a highly accurate drop test can be realized.

(1-5) Holding means:
The holding means holds the drop test object vertically above the columnar honeycomb structure, and releases the holding state of the drop test object at the start of dropping. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the holding means 30, that has a second electromagnet 31 to hold the drop test object 20 having magnetic. Further, that has a second conductive portion for performing power supply to the second electromagnet 31 (not shown). The energization unit (second energization unit) that energizes the second electromagnet 31 uses the energization unit 62 that energizes the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60 (in other words, is shared). You can also. When the energization unit 62 is shared by the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31, the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31 perform energization control by independent control. That is, even if the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31 share the energization unit 62, the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31 are not energized under the same conditions. As the second electromagnet 31, one configured similarly to the electromagnet 61 of the rebound prevention means 60 can be used.

Retaining means that is configured to be movable along a path direction of the fall path. As described above, the anti-rebound means also, since it is movable along the path direction of the fall path, after the first drop measurement is finished, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the anti-rebound device The second drop test can be performed by exchanging 60 and the holding means 30. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the rebound prevention means 60 that attracted the drop test object 20 by the magnetic force moves upward in the path direction. And as shown in FIG. 8, the rebound prevention means 60 of the state which attracted the drop test target object 20 becomes a holding means in the 2nd drop test. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the holding means 30 moves downward in the path direction after releasing the holding of the drop test object 20. And as shown in FIG. 8, the holding means 30 becomes a rebound prevention means in the second drop test. By comprising in this way, a smooth and highly accurate drop test is realizable. 7 and 8 are schematic cross-sectional views schematically showing a cross-section of one embodiment of the honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus of the present invention. 7 and 8 show a state where the holding means 30 and the rebound prevention means 60 are interchanged. In the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the same components as those in the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  When the holding means and the rebound prevention means move along the path direction of the fall path, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the movement path extends in the path direction on the side wall 41 of the fall path 40. 43 is preferably provided. The moving path 43 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained by hollowing out the side wall 41 of the dropping path 40 in the path direction, and along the moving path 43, the holding means 30 and the rebound preventing means 60 are vertically connected. Move up and down in the direction.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the drop impact test apparatus uses an energizing portion 62 shared by the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31 on the assumption that the holding means 30 and the rebound prevention means 60 are switched, and a switch 63. Thus, the functions of the electromagnet 61 and the second electromagnet 31 are switched. With this configuration, in the second drop test (that is, a drop test in which the holding unit 30 and the rebound prevention unit 60 are interchanged), the second of the holding unit 30 is based on the detection information of the collision detection unit 50. The energization of the electromagnet 31 is turned on. That is, in the second drop test, after the drop test object 20 rebounds, it is attracted to the magnetic force generated from the second electromagnet 31 and stops its movement. In the third and subsequent drop tests, the drop test can be continuously performed by replacing the holding means 30 and the rebound prevention means 60 in the same manner as described above.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the drop impact test apparatus may further include a level 70 for measuring the inclination of the drop path with respect to the vertical direction. The drop impact test apparatus 200 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 includes a support 73 provided as a level 70 so as to protrude from the side wall 41 of the drop path 40, and a string 72 suspended from the support 73. , And a weight 71 disposed at the tip of the string body 72. By providing such a level 70, an accurate drop test can be performed. In particular, the drop impact test apparatus of this embodiment can be carried, and a drop impact test apparatus can be installed on a honeycomb structure that is an object to perform a drop test. For this reason, it is very important to confirm whether or not the fall path is arranged vertically with the level 70 before starting the test. FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view schematically showing a part of a cross section of still another embodiment of the drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a plan view of still another embodiment of the drop impact test apparatus for a honeycomb structure according to the present invention as viewed from above. In the drop impact test apparatus 200 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the same components as those in the drop impact test apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

The fall path had a material of acrylic and a vertical length of 70 mm. As the collision detection means, sound detection by FFT analysis was used. Specifically, CF-7200A (trade name) manufactured by Ono Sokki Co., Ltd. was used.

  A square electromagnet was used as the rebound prevention means and the holding means of the drop impact test apparatus. This electromagnet generates an attractive force of 0.27N. The electromagnet was controlled by an electric circuit incorporating a voice switch.

  As the honeycomb structure of the object, a cylindrical structure having a cordierite end face diameter of 144 mm and an axial length of 152 mm was used.

  The drop impact test apparatus of Example 1 was placed on the honeycomb structure of the object, and the drop test was performed 10 times. The quality of the drop test was determined by sound wave analysis. The impact force of the drop test in Example 1 was set to be slightly smaller than that in which the honeycomb structure was chipped or cracked when the drop test object (sphere) collided. Table 1 shows the results of 10 drop tests in the drop impact test apparatus of Example 1. “◯” in Table 1 indicates that the honeycomb structure was not chipped and cracked by sound wave analysis during the drop test. “X” in Table 1 indicates that the honeycomb structure was chipped and cracked by sound wave analysis during the drop test.

(Comparative Example 1)
In Comparative Example 1, a drop test was performed 10 times using a drop impact test apparatus configured in the same manner as in Example 1 except that no rebound prevention means was provided. The test conditions for the drop test are the same as in Example 1. Table 1 shows the results of 10 drop tests in the drop impact test apparatus of Comparative Example 1.

(result)
In the drop impact test apparatus of Example 1, the honeycomb structure was not chipped and cracked in 10 drop tests. On the other hand, in the drop impact test apparatus of Comparative Example 1, the honeycomb structure was chipped and cracked in 4 drop tests out of 10 drop tests. As described above, the drop test in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is performed with an impact force slightly smaller than that in which the honeycomb structure is chipped, cracked, or the like. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of the chip | tip and the crack in the comparative example 1 was based on the collision after the 2nd rebound. It was also confirmed by sound wave analysis that chipping and cracking occurred due to the second and subsequent collisions that rebounded. Since the drop impact test apparatus of Example 1 does not cause rebound of the drop test object (sphere) in 10 drop tests, perform a highly reliable and highly reliable drop impact test with high reproducibility. Was possible.

  The honeycomb structure drop impact test apparatus of the present invention can be used for a honeycomb structure drop test.
