    The invention relates to a method for determining tribological parameters and measured values according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a module, i. Finally, the invention relates to a rheometer according to the preamble of claim 13 for carrying out the method, possibly using a module according to the invention.
    By definition, rheology deals with the deformation and flow behavior of substances. Rotational rheometers are measuring devices for investigating the rheological properties of different material samples. In this case, the test sample to be examined is introduced into a generally narrow measuring gap between two measuring parts, the two measuring parts are rotated and / or oscillated relative to each other and the material sample is subjected to a shearing load between the measuring parts. Elastic material functions are additionally obtained from the axial forces which act perpendicular to the shear plane in the cone-plate and plate-plate rheometer. Rotational rheometers allow the combination of a variety of different experimental guides, where either shear stress, shear deformation or shear rate can be specified. Rotation rheometers can in principle have different designs with one measuring motor, one rotary motor and separate measuring motor or the combination of two measuring motors and are described for example in the Applicant's AT508706 B1.
    The determination of the torque in the rotation rheometer can be done with (measuring) motors designed for drive and torque determination or via two separate motor units for drive / rotation and torque determination, which are assigned to one of the measuring parts. Further, double motor systems with two measuring motors are also known, see e.g. AT 508 706 B1. In addition, different systems for determining the occurring normal forces (axial forces) are known.
    Tribology generally deals with the relative movement of surfaces of specimens under the action of force. It examines friction, wear and lubrication with the aim of characterizing and, if necessary, optimizing the motion systems. The measurement of the friction coefficients is carried out in particular over longer periods of sliding mating of different materials with and without lubrication, the parameters normal force or pressure, sliding speed and temperature can be varied during the measurement.
    Tribometers are devices for measuring tribological sizes, which can be similar to the holder of the test specimen rheometers. For tribological measurements, the frictional contact between the surfaces to be examined is decisive. The contact is practically measured, lubricated or unlubricated, i. with or without interposition of a material, between two specimens of the material to be measured or the different materials to be measured.
    Due to the extremely diverse issues in tribology, numerous tribometers have been developed for specific applications and measurement tasks. The interpretation and transferability of results obtained on tribometers is demanding. Since tribological characteristic values are always system characteristics, specifying individual values such as friction coefficients without specifying the exact test conditions is usually not expedient. The results are used, for example, for the characterization of lubricants or the construction of bearings and are used in many fields from medical technology to the cosmetics, food industry, drive and control technology to mechanical engineering.
    Due to the same occurring magnitude of the measured values, the possibility of specifying the normal forces and the precise specification and measurement of speed and torque, rheometers are structurally suitable in principle for use in high-precision tribological systems, especially when the measuring parts of the rheometer arranged interchangeable and by Holder for specimens are replaceable. For this purpose, the specimens to be examined have already been designed in the form of measuring parts or attached to measuring parts of rheometers, or special specimen holders have been connected to the measuring shafts of the rheometer or designed as such and placed in direct contact with each other. Such an arrangement is described for the special case of the characterization of ball bearings in AT 505938. An application for characterizing the frictional properties of foods with special interfaces is described in EP 2150800 A1. For the conversion of a rheometer into a tribometer, it is thus only necessary to replace the measuring parts delimiting the measuring gap of the rheometer by the specimens to be measured or a module accommodating the specimens, and to bring the test specimens into frictional contact. The existing at Rheometern
    Means for exerting an axial force or for measuring the applied axial force are used to regulate the pressure of the opposing surfaces of the specimens. Springs or spring units or flexible torsionally stiff couplings such as universal joints can be provided to connect the adjacent to each other with friction contact specimens, which connect directly to the specimen, possibly via sample holder, and optionally via support with the drive shafts or Storage of the rheometer are connected at which rheometer the measuring parts were removed.
    When carrying out rheological experiments, the height of the gap between the measuring parts of the rheometer, between which the sample to be measured is introduced, should be kept constant with high precision. For this to succeed, the rheometers are made very stiff axially. The remaining low compliance is characterized by the so-called compliance of the system. Thus, a rheometer in its power circle practically shows a spring constant with high rigidity. In a tribological test, the surfaces of all specimens in frictional contact should be pressed against one another with as much force as possible and with constant force over time. The size of the force should be able to be adjusted freely according to the material pairings to be examined and the size of the contact surface. The surface pressure is caused by the normal force control of the rheometer. The rheometer or rheometer stiffness or compliance can be imaged in this dynamic vibration system as a spring with high rigidity. Unevenness in the surface of the sample and deviations from the ideal geometry cause normal forces that change the force application and thus falsify the measurement. This is usually not considered in conventional tribology meters. In particular, this also applies to the occurrence of stick-slip effects.
    At the same time, the rotating parts of the measuring system should be aligned radially as accurately as possible with the rheometer during all tribological tests in order to prevent the occurrence of transverse forces that falsify the measurement results. Especially in the case of multiple contact surfaces, it is necessary to exactly center the arrangement of all measuring parts in order to ensure even loading of the tribological contacts. In addition, rotary rheometers have in their structure as frictionless mounted measuring shafts, which often have only low tolerance against lateral forces, since the storage can absorb only small lateral forces.
    In the prior art, these problems are solved, for example, by the use of universal joints or springs in the measuring part axis. These elements allow a radial offset between the measuring system and the air bearing so that the measuring body can follow the possibly changing surfaces and / or force effects
    Especially at higher speeds, these systems offer little stability and can possibly run or beat out of round.
    With springs and flexible torsionally rigid couplings, however, an element with an additional spring effect or a further compliance is introduced into the force flow or force circuit of the measuring system. This additional compliance is characterized by a different spring constant than the rheometer compliance.
    However, this additional spring in the system involves the problem that certain natural frequencies of the system can lead to resonances that can lead to the swinging of the rheometer or system at certain forces, oscillations or angular velocities and changing surface shape, especially due to nonuniform particles of an intermediate layer - In this way, part of the measuring range which can be painted over in principle can produce falsified results and can not be used.
    In commercial rheometers, forces of 1 mN to 70 N and speeds of 0 to 3000 rpm are usually specified and / or measured. In principle, these areas are also accessible for tribological measurements, especially when using and installing suitable motors and bearings, these areas can also be extended. For tribological measurements, total contact forces of 0.1 N to 70 N are generally used; the rotary tests for tribological characterization can be carried out with the available angular velocities and angular accelerations
    The additionally provided spring can restrict the basically available measuring range by the occurrence of resonances due to dynamic effects. Which combinations of speed and force are affected depends strongly on the actual sample combination. A safe prediction of these unusable or auszuschendenden measuring ranges is very difficult or often not possible. This is especially true in the study of stick-slip effects on specimens.
    A rheometer, when used for tribological measurements, can therefore in principle be regarded as a system with two springs 10, 20, as shown in FIG. The spring 20 characterizes the spring properties of the device or the frictional connection, without taking into account the additionally installed spring 10 of a spring unit 3. The rheometer can here as usual in the prior art have one or two motors for rotation and / or torque measurement and / or normal force specification, which are connected via a tripod 2 adjustable in height. The motors are fixedly connected to the base 5 and / or the projecting arm 5a or fixed interchangeably and are not considered separately in this illustration, the bearings of the measuring waves contribute to the overall compliance of the rheometer.
    By reference to the aforementioned AT 508706 B1 and AT 505938 B1 and EP 2150800 A1, the structure or the features of the rheometers described therein as a basic and possible construction of a rheometer according to the invention is incorporated into this application and should be regarded as disclosed in the present application ,
    The additional, relative to the spring 20 relatively soft spring 10 in the system, however, brings with it the problem that certain resonant frequencies in the speed range of the system can cause a swing. This also applies to any additional spring effects in connection with a universal joint used, since here, too, certain compliance occurs, which is smaller than the compliance of the system.
    If one looks more closely at the system or the oscillating circuit given or conditioned by the frictional connection, it can be seen that this effect due to the spring unit 3 must be taken into account and the task of changing or characterizing resonance effects of the system or oscillating circuit arises. and mitigate or eliminate it if necessary. This is where the invention starts.
    The compliance or overall compliance of a rheometer is in principle to be assessed in the power connection system. This overall compliance can be characterized by the spring constant of the Cges system. Due to the large spring constant (C1) of the spring 20 (of the resonant circuit this is when determining the total spring stiffness Cges due to the comparatively large yield and thus small spring constant (C2) of the spring 10 of the spring unit 3 according to the relationship 1 / Cges = 1 / C1 The total stiffness of the rheometer thus corresponds approximately to the stiffness of the softer spring 10 used, approximately characterized by the spring constant C2. If the system is considered more precisely, the damping effect of the spring unit must also be considered ,
    Fig. 2 shows a simplified equivalent circuit diagram for the tribological contact between an upper and lower specimen 7, 8 with spring action (10) and damping effect (10 ') in the z direction below the lower specimen 8. The two specimens 7, 8 are with the Force F pressed together. If the distance between the specimens 7, 8 changes as a result of component defects, resonances, stick-slip effects, floating effects etc. or also variation of one of the surfaces due to unevenness, the result is a dynamic force. For this additional dynamic or temporally variable force F (t), the following equation of motion applies in the z-direction with distance z, velocity v = dz / dt and acceleration a = d2z / dt2: F (t) = ma + dv + cz. where d is the viscous damping, c is the spring constant, and m is the total mass of the moving or moving parts in a change in distance of the specimens 7, 8. These parts are above all the test pieces 7, 8, as well as the spring 10 and any holders for the test pieces 7, 8.
    If the force effect is to remain as constant as possible, then the dynamic force component must remain as small as possible or small compared to F. This is the case when a) the moving part of the spring unit as a whole has as little mass as possible in order to keep the proportion m.a low, b) a, v and z remain as small as possible.
    The moving masses should therefore be such that they can follow the movements of the specimen in x-y and z-direction under the least possible forces.
    The spring element 3 should thus have a small mass and preferably be arranged close to the tribological contact in order to avoid connecting parts or to keep them as low in mass as possible.
    Advantageously, the spring element 3 should act only in the z direction. For the natural frequency of the system ω2 = c / m. The amplification function of such a system or resonant circuit can be influenced in terms of amplitude via the damping, at the same time, the resonance frequency changes to some extent, a change in the resonant frequency can be done by adjusting the spring constant or spring stiffness and / or the mass in the resonant circuit.
    According to the invention, it is thus proposed to regulate, minimize or eliminate the problem of resonance effects in a method of the type mentioned at the outset, that all parts of the rheometer which hold the specimens in frictional connection and frictional contact or which form the rheometer force circuit, including the spring unit be regarded as a resonant circuit that the vibration characteristics of the spring unit are considered to be relevant and sufficiently representative of the vibration characteristics of this resonant circuit, and that prior to and / or during the determination of the measured values, the vibration characteristics of the spring unit, taking into account the expected in the respective measurement changing, different measurement conditions, in particular different mass possessing specimens, changes in the frictional engagement and / or changes in the axial forces occurring, conditional resonant vibrations or effects set or ange fits or turns off. The obtained measured values are evaluated. For the definition of the resonant circuit formed in the rheometer whose compliance or rigidity is set in relation to the stiffness or resilience of the spring element, it is useful if in the resonant circuit all on the rheometer force circuit for applying force to the surfaces of the specimens in frictional contact involved or located in this circle of force parts of the rheometer, in particular device base, tripod, arm, drive and measuring shafts, sample holders and bearings are included. For an estimation of the variables to be taken into account or the vibration properties, it is advantageous if the spring-elastic movable sections of the at least one spring of the respective spring unit are relevant for the vibration properties of the spring unit, the mass of a holder carried by the respective spring and / or one on the spring located holding portion for the specimens, the mass of the resiliently immovable parts of the spring unit between the attachment point or the stationary, immovable base of the spring and the tribological contact point of the supported by the spring specimen and optionally the mass of the sample viewed or for a any amendment. In practice, it has proved to be advantageous if the stiffness of the spring or the spring constant of the spring, preferably by changing the spring length or the spring-active portion of the total spring length of the spring is changed to adjust the vibration characteristics of the spring unit, and / or Mass of the specimens and / or the mass of the resiliently immovable parts of the spring unit is changed, in particular by adding or removing attachable to the specimens or the resiliently immovable parts of the spring unit, preferably the holder or holding area, attachable or removable masses, and / or if the oscillatory movement of the spring is braked or damped by a damping element acting on the spring and / or on the respective specimen and / or on the resiliently immovable parts (9).
    It is now also possible that an intermediate layer or layer of the friction between the surfaces influencing material is introduced between the surfaces of the specimens in frictional contact, without undesirable resonance vibrations occur. Oscillations caused by various materials introduced can be successfully influenced and investigated.
    A simple performance of measurements results when the force with which the test pieces are pressed against one another is adjusted with a control loop.
    The measurement and the measurement preparations are simplified if the spring constant or compliance of the parts of the rheometer forming the resonant circuit are disregarded or unchanged during the adjustment or adaptation of the oscillation properties of the spring unit.
    An inventive module of the type mentioned is characterized in that the spring and the holder or holding portion are considered as parts of a mechanical vibration system and determine its vibration characteristics, and that an actuator is provided with the vibration characteristics of this vibration system are adjustable or changeable. Such a module is advantageously suitable to carry out the method according to the invention or to be used in a rheometer in order to obtain a tribological with a conventional rheometer
    To be able to make measurements while influencing resonant vibrations during measuring operation.
    In such a module, the invention provides that with the adjusting unit, the spring constant of the spring is variable and the actuator optionally has at least one can be applied to the spring or loading component, which adjusts the spring-effective length of the spring, and / or that with the adjusting unit the mass carried by the spring is variable and the actuator unit optionally has a container located on the spring and / or on the holder for the defined input or withdrawal of a medium, preferably a liquid, and / or that the actuator unit detects the movement of the spring and / or or the holder and / or the specimen mechanically frictionally damping element, optionally in the form of itself on the spring-supporting friction parts comprises. Thus, an adjustment or modification of the vibration characteristics of the module can be easily achieved, whereby the measuring range increases or resonance frequencies are avoided.
    In special embodiments of the module it is provided that the carrier carries at least one plate from which at least one spring, preferably a plurality of springs, each in the form of a parallel to the plate aligned leaf spring, in its free end region, optionally via a holder, carries a test piece, wherein for each leaf spring a clamping member is provided, with which the body of the spring in relation to their plate spacing different, in particular continuously variable, contact positions is resilient or fixable, wherein optionally the clamping member has the form of rotatable about the holder spokes, which can be applied against the substantially aligned in the circumferential direction of the plate leaf springs and optionally fixed in different contact positions. In a further embodiment it can be provided that the spring is designed in the form of a particular horizontally arranged leaf spring, which is supported in both sides of their longitudinal center area supports that the holder for the specimens, optionally via a movable in the xy direction sliding block in the Longitudinal center region of the leaf spring is supported, and that the supports along the leaf spring, in particular simultaneously and with the same feed, are adjustable, for which purpose the pads are guided in spiral grooves arranged below the leaf spring base plate and upon rotation of the spiral grooves in the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring to each other are arranged displaceable to or away from each other.
    A simple construction results when the specimen is held on the spring in a holding area of the spring with a holder or fixed directly to the spring, e.g. screwed, clamped or welded, is.
    A rheometer according to the invention comprises a carrier close to the rheometer and a carrier close to the rheometer, which carriers are received by the measuring part or connections or measuring or drive shaft connections of the rheometer or are formed by removable or insertable measuring waves, wherein at least one of the each carrier supports at least one spring which supports at least one specimen via a holder or holding region, drive units for rotating at least one carrier with a predetermined rotational speed and / or predetermined torque, measuring units for measuring the applied and / or occurring rotational speeds and torques, and one Test body in mutually frictional contact oppressive pressure force unit, which optionally has a control unit for the applied compressive forces, wherein at least one of the carrier and supported by this, at least one spring and on the F eder located holding or holding area in the form of a module according to one of claims 8 to 11 are formed.
    In general, the following is carried out for the method or module or rotational rheometer according to the invention:
    From each spring unit, one or more specimens can be worn. The spring units have springs that each load one of the specimens or springs that load all specimens together. It is also possible to assign each of the tribological contact surface lying on each test piece a spring unit. This doubles the possibility of unwanted resonances; However, by corresponding change in the spring characteristics of one or both spring units, these resonances can be controlled or changed. For this purpose, the spring units located on both sides of the tribological contact surface can be changed with respect to their vibration behavior.
    The spring units may have different types of springs, e.g. Leaf springs, coil springs, helical compression springs od. Like., Have.
    The spring units can be arranged rotationally invariant or co-rotated with the respective specimen at the predetermined speed.
    The arrangement and construction of the springs or of the springs supporting the support is such that upon rotation of the specimen no radial vibrations occur. Advantageously, the spring units have symmetrical structure or comprise congruently constructed sections.
    The invention makes it possible to perform an adjustment or adjustment of the spring constant of the spring and / or the mass of the spring element depending on the measurement problem, if necessary, also automated.
    In principle, the springs of the spring units can also be replaced and replaced by thinner, softer or thicker, harder springs. Additionally or alternatively, the oscillating masses of the spring unit can be changed, which changes the vibration behavior of the spring units. For the expert, it is easily possible to make the required adjustment of the vibration characteristics of the spring units. It is sufficient for the practice to carry out a small number of usually no more than two, test measurements, preferably with the predetermined force for the measurement of the test specimens used and the predetermined measurement parameters or the predetermined speeds or torques. At the same time, the measuring ranges in which resonance vibrations occur can be readily recognized. These resonant vibrations are then eliminated by changing the spring constant or the mass of the spring unit or setting of attenuators from the measuring range and then the measurement process is started. Alternatively, the resonance vibrations can also be investigated in a targeted manner.
    It is also possible to select and use differently constructed modules, i. Modules that differ with regard to the spring characteristics and / or masses and / or damping and are thus adapted to different test specimens.
    If the test specimens to be examined have the same mass, it is easily possible to carry out preliminary calibration measurements and, depending on a calibration table, to select suitable spring units or modules in order to find trouble-free measuring ranges for different test conditions.
    The specimens can be used in holders which are connected to the spring or formed directly on this. It is also possible to attach the specimens directly to the spring, e.g. In these areas, the spring can not swing and these holding areas are thus attributable to the mass of the spring element, the holding areas represent portions of the spring, which are not resilient. In these holding areas of the spring and holders advantageously the attachment of additional masses can be done easily and little disturbing. Also on the specimen, the attachment of additional masses can be done.
    The change of the spring characteristic of the spring can advantageously be done by changing its oscillatory part or section. Advantageously, the portion of the spring lying near or remote from the carrier can be held over a greater or lesser length with a holding part and prevented from oscillating.
    There is also the possibility to change the spring stiffness of the spring element by replacing or adding springs or spring packs.
    In principle, it is possible to perform the spring element, which holds the specimen in frictional contact, electromagnetically, magnetically, pneumatically or hydraulically. All such systems have their own vibration characteristics or can cause resonance vibrations, which change the measurement conditions. Also, such systems can be adjusted prior to measurement with respect to their vibration characteristics and such systems are to be regarded as equivalent to a mechanical spring unit.
    The spring effect of a pneumatic system can be influenced or changed, for example, by volumetric and / or pressure changes in the pistons or pressure chambers loading the test specimens and / or mass changes of the moving masses. A variation of the vibration characteristics of a magnetic coil may e.g. by changes of supply voltage and / or flow and / or mass changes.
    It is e.g. also possible to adjust the spring constant of a coil spring by means of adjusting mechanisms by the effective spring length of the coil spring is optionally changed by continuous change in length of the elastic body.
    It can also be the position of the support points of a spring, such as a leaf spring, are changed over the length of the spring, since the spring properties of the spring are changed accordingly by changing the position of the contact points of the support to the spring.
    It may be advantageous if the spring stiffness can be adjusted automatically by means of an adjustment mechanism, so that a desired change or adjustment can be carried out before the experiment in a simple manner, possibly controlled by a designated evaluation and control unit.
    One way to adjust the spring characteristic is to adjust the vibration characteristics by changing the mass, which can be done in general by installation or removal of mass elements at most different size in or out of the spring unit. For example, Fluids can be filled into containers or removed from them. The containers and / or masses used, in particular liquids, can occupy a predetermined volume which differs from case to case and / or have different densities.
    A rheometer used for tribological measurements has recordings for modules according to the invention or tribo cells to which the supports of the test specimens and / or the spring units are adapted.
    In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, for example:
    Fig. 3 shows the basic structure of a rheometer according to the invention 1. Fig. 4 and 4a show an embodiment of a module in section. Figures 5 and 5a show details of Figure 4. Figures 6, 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d show a module in different views and details. Fig. 7 shows a module similar to the module shown in Figs. 6 to 6d in a tribo cell. 8 to 10 show different possibilities for changing the vibration characteristics by mass change or damping.
    The rheometer 1 illustrated in FIG. 3 comprises a measuring motor 4 and a measuring shaft 6 connected to it, at the lower end of which a test specimen 7 in the form of a ball lying on top is attached. With a e.g. in a evaluation and control unit 40 arranged normal force control unit can, in particular by previous lowering of the projecting arm 5a, the specimen 7 are pressed with a defined force to the bottom of the sample 8. Three symmetrically mounted to each other bottom specimens 8 in the form of leaflets are in tribological Contact with the ball 7. The leaflets 8 are supported by a holder 9, which is subsequently supported by a spring 10. The holder 9 and the spring 10 define the spring unit designated 3, which extends over the length of the arrow 3 '. The spring constant of this spring unit 3 can advantageously be changed via the control and evaluation unit 40 by means of an adjusting mechanism or setting unit 13, possibly automatically. The spring unit 3 is located on a support 11, which can be used in a base near bearing 12 of the rheometer 1 and optionally driven. In the present case, the test piece 7 is rotated with the measuring shaft 6.
    The spring properties of this spring unit 3 are representative of the spring properties of the entire rheometer 1 and the resonant circuit 30, which, as indicated by the arrow, all lying in the circle of force, movable, in particular resiliently movable, parts of the rheometer 1 includes, which in the application of force the specimens 7, 8 are deformable and thus have the ability to spring appear in appearance or exert forces on the specimen 7, 8, the resonances or vibrations in the resonant circuit 30 can generate.
    Together with the carrier 11, the spring unit 3 represents a module according to the invention or a tribological measuring cell which can be inserted into a rheometer 1. The spring unit 3 with the carrier 11 can be exchangeably integrated into the rheometer 1 or represents an assembly which can be assembled and disassembled, and at least one of the measuring parts of the rheometer 1 can be exchanged for this module or against the module according to the invention. The other measuring part of the rheometer 1 is replaced by a test specimen or also a module. Thus, a spring unit 3 can also be provided for the upper test body 7 shown in FIG. 3, so that the test bodies 7, 8 are loaded in total by two spring units 3, in which the spring characteristic can be modified or adjusted.
    If the measurements are carried out in the extreme temperature range, it is advantageous to provide the spring 10 outside the temperature-controlled area for the tribological contact in order to avoid temperature influences. The specimens 7, 8 can be arranged within a tempering chamber 50, which surround the tribological contact. The tempering parts can also be integrated in the holders 9 for the test pieces 7, 8. For this purpose, in particular resistance heaters or Peltier elements come into question.
    In the spring unit 3, the spring 10 may be arranged such that it can be exchanged for example by means of clamping device with quick release and by use or replacement of different spring characteristics having springs an adjustment of the spring unit 3 can be done. It can thus be made available a number of modules that can be exchanged to adapt the spring characteristic of each rheometer to the given measurement situation.
    4 and 4a an embodiment of a module according to the invention is shown, which can be used in a rheometer. The spring unit 3 comprises a leaf spring 10, which is aligned substantially in a horizontal plane and in its longitudinal region via a support member 72, a sliding block 38 and a receiving part 39, the holder 9 of the sample 8 is supported. The specimens 8 are formed of platelets, similar to those shown in Fig. 3. In the receiving part 39, the holder 9 can be inserted or secured replaceable. The receiving part 39 is connected to the sliding block 38, which is slidably mounted with the least possible friction in the x-y direction in the support member 72 for centering the holder 9 and the sample 8, for. by combination of two linear guides. The lower end of the support member 72 may be connected to the leaf spring 10, in particular to its midregion, e.g. screwed or welded, be. The leaf spring 10 rests on two supports 31, 33, which are guided in a groove 75 of a base plate 37 against each other slidably. For this purpose, the supports 31, 33 by means of pins 36 in spirally extending grooves 35 in a - as shown in Fig. 5 and 5a visible - relative to the base plate 37 rotatable member 34 is mounted. By rotating the component, the position or the distance of the supports 31, 33 with respect to the central region of the leaf spring 10 can be changed, whereby the characteristic of the leaf spring 10 and its vibration characteristics is changed. The rotation of the component 34 can be done manually or with a servomotor automatically.
    FIG. 6 shows a module according to the invention which has a carrier 11 which can be inserted or connected to a bearing 12 in the base 5 or into a cantilever 33 or into a drive or measuring shaft 6 of a rheometer 1. This support 11 supports at least one plate 41 of the type shown in FIG. 6a, at the periphery thereof in plate recesses a number of, in the present case three, extending approximately in the circumferential direction
    Leaf springs 10 is attached. These leaf springs 10 could possibly be made in one piece with the plate 41. In their free end region, the respective leaf springs 10 carry test specimens 8, which in the present case are designed as pins. Without further measures, these specimens may also be formed as balls or has other shape. In any case, it is ensured that the arrangement is radially balanced or balanced. The individual sectors, which in the present case amount to 120 °, of the plate 41 are designed to coincide. These specimens 8 are used with the springs 10 against an opposing specimen 7, e.g. a disk or a ring, shown in Fig. 6b. Fig. 6a shows a schematic plan view of the plate 41 and Fig. 6b shows a detail through a spring 10 with inserted, pin-shaped specimen 10. In addition, between the springs and an elastomer can be used as a damping element to dampen the amplitude of the vibration system and to additionally change the vibration characteristic.
    FIG. 6 c shows a holding part 45 fastened to the carrier 11 for two plates 41. The two plates 41 are inserted parallel to one another in circumferential grooves of the holding part 45. Furthermore, the holding part 45 carries a number of substantially radially extending web-shaped clamping members 46, corresponding to Fig. 6d, the number of which corresponds in particular to the number of predetermined leaf springs 10, so that each freewheel of the spring 10 with its own about the shape of a spoke having clamping member 46 can be adjusted. These clamping members 46 are rotatable relative to the springs 10 and to the plates 41 about the axis of the carrier 11. Depending on the length of the portion of the leaf spring 10, which is adjusted by the respective clamping member 46, the vibration behavior of the leaf springs 10 changes.
    In the embodiment of a module or rheometer 1 shown in FIG. 6, there is thus a separate cushioning of the individual specimens 8. As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the plate 41 can be provided twice and the two parallel plates 41 can be replaced by means of the holders 9 are connected to each other, so that each specimen 8 is connected via its holder 9 with two springs 10 and cushioned by these, which carry over the holder 9 specimen 8. The module is rotated with a drive and / or measuring motor during the measurement.
    FIG. 7 shows a module built into a rheometer 1 according to FIGS. 6 to 6d. This module differs slightly from the module shown in Figs. 6 to 6d, in view of the loading of the leaf springs 10 by the spokes 46 and the shape of the plate 41 and the leaf springs 10. The leaf springs 10 are integrally formed from the
    Plate 41 shaped and show circumferential slots 82 for the passage of dowel pins and fixing the spokes 46 in any circumferential position. The spokes 46 can be connected in this modified embodiment by means of a pivoting closure 80 fixed to the leaf springs 10 in a defined position.
    Further, in Fig. 7 formed in the form of a plate, lower specimen 7 can be seen. In this embodiment, the carrier 11 is suspended from the cantilever arm 33 of a rheometer and is rotated. For controlling the temperature of the upper test specimens 8, tempering units 82, which are not explained in further detail, may be provided, which at most introduce tempering fluid into the space with the specimens 8. The plate-shaped specimen 7 can be fixed or held with a wall 83 forming the space around the specimens 8 or around the module.
    As can be seen from FIG. 7, the specimen 7, which is designed in the form of a plate, can rest on a tempering part 81 in a movement-invariant manner and in this embodiment forms the lower specimen. The test specimen 8 lying on top in this case is rotated relative to the specimen 7 via the support 11, the test specimens 8 being in tribological contact with the specimen 7 designed as a disc.
    If a rheometer with a separate rotary motor and measuring motor is used, the movement of the module with the upper specimens 8 can be restricted to a force reset and the lower specimen 7 in the form of the plate 41 can be rotated. In particular, when the module is rotated during the measurement, it is advantageous if the entire resilient arrangement or the module is carried out easily and rotationally symmetrical to avoid imbalances.
    8 shows an embodiment of a rheometer 1 with a spring element, in which the damping of vibrations takes place by means of a pot or bracket 66 fastened to or carried by the spring 10. The bracket 66 is supported with an elastomeric ring 67 which rests on the base 5 and against which the bracket 66 either continuously rests or in the region of the bottom dead center of the vibration of the spring 10 can be applied. Depending on the hardness of the elastomer used, the damping of the resonant circuit is changed differently. A change of the elastomeric rings 67 can be made for example after opening or removal of the strap and replacement of the elastomers.
    In the embodiment of Fig. 9, the spherical specimen 7 is rotated with a drive shaft 6. The specimen 8 in the form of a number of platelets is located on a holder 9. The angle of the plates against the horizontal are arbitrarily set in the drive shaft 6 of the specimen 7, a universal joint 70 is formed to center the driven by the measuring shaft 6 specimen 7 , In principle, instead of the illustrated universal joint, other torsionally rigid articulated shaft connections, such as those shown in FIG. cv joints or bale couplings can be used. Even such joints and couplings can allow the required radial and angular misalignment, but also cause a reduced or altered compliance of the rheometer.
    The damping element in this embodiment consists of a pot 68 and a piston 69 which is vertically displaceable within the pot 68. The pot 68 and the piston 69 are connected to the holder 9 supporting the spring 10, and at spaced-apart areas of the spring 10. During a movement or vibration of the spring 10 of the displaceable in the pot 68 piston 69 damps the spring oscillations. The piston 69 may move in a lubricant or oil that is within the pot 68. This arrangement could be considered as a greatly simplified form of hydraulic shock absorber connected to the ends of the spring 10. The damping characteristic can be influenced by the throttling of the fluid flow, for example by a throttle valve in the damper.
    10 shows an arrangement in which a tribology cell or module is used in a rheometer 1, which has two plate-shaped, pressed test pieces 7, 8, wherein between the test piece contact material 91 is inserted, which the frictional contact between the sample surfaces 7, 8 determined. The specimen 8 is supported by a trained as a container 62 holder in which a piston 63 is movable up and down. Depending on the direction of movement of the piston, fluid can flow from a reservoir 64 into the container 62 or flow out and the container size can be adapted to the volume of the fluid. The holder 9 and the piston 63 and the container 62 are supported by the spring 10. The automatic adjustment of the vibration characteristic thus takes place via the filling of the container 62 or the concomitant mass change.
    A highly flexible hose 65 opening into the container 62 only slightly changes the vibration behavior of the spring unit 3, which comprises the spring 10 and the holder 10, and connects the reservoir 64 to the container. The nature of
    Pressure application and filling can be automated both by movement of the piston and by pressure application to the reservoir 64 via the evaluation and control unit 40 and is not shown here.
    Another alternative would be the use of dilating vessels such as membranes, balloons and the like, which can be filled analogously to the container 62 and adjust their volume to the amount of fluid.
    The change in the mass of the spring unit 3 can for example also be done by magnetically attachable particles. In general, it is relatively small parts that can be easily inserted into the modules of the invention.
    The components may, for example, also be inflatable containers which, depending on their internal pressure, can be applied more or less strongly against the holder 9 of the test pieces 7, 8 and thus damp the spring unit 3.
