Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical experimental equipment, in particular to a micro-liquid discontinuous titration experimental device. Background Art
[0002] In most cases, laboratory titration analysis uses manual titration, where the burette is operated manually to conduct experiments. The consumed volume is determined by visually observing the changes in the liquid level indicator scale in the burette for subsequent analysis and calculation. Since the entire process requires manual operation, manual errors such as liquid level reading errors and burette switch operation timing seriously affect the accuracy of the experiment, especially for titration experiments that require repeated operations and comparisons.
[0003] In the existing technical solutions, such as a micro-liquid titration device with authorization announcement number CN 216484841 U, a stepper motor, a screw and a threaded sleeve are used in combination to achieve precise control of the amount of liquid entering the needle, thereby controlling the amount of sample spotting. However, this electric titration device is relatively expensive for small titration experiments.
[0004] For example, a micro-burette with application publication number CN 103033593 A has a liquid storage tube and a burette, the bottom of the liquid storage tube is connected to the bottom of the burette, an L-shaped tube and a capillary tube are arranged on the side of the top of the liquid storage tube, so that the top of the liquid storage tube is connected to the top of the burette, the test liquid enters the liquid storage tube through the liquid inlet valve, the liquid inlet valve is closed, the liquid outlet valve is opened, the gas enters the liquid storage tube through the capillary tube and the L-shaped tube, the gas pressure is the same, the liquid in the liquid storage tube flows into the burette, and when the liquid level in the burette reaches the 0 scale line, the capillary tube connected to the burette is closed. One end is sealed with test liquid, so that the test liquid in the liquid storage tube no longer enters the burette, and the liquid outlet valve is closed and the titration valve is opened to perform titration; however, in this titration method, each time, the liquid needs to enter the liquid storage tube from the liquid inlet valve above the liquid storage tube. The capacity of the liquid storage tube is limited, and liquid needs to be added multiple times. This liquid addition method is more troublesome, and the test liquid is easy to leak and waste; at the same time, if the liquid outlet valve of the liquid storage tube is loose or other faults occur, the degree of drop of the liquid level in the burette will be affected during the titration experiment, thereby affecting the accuracy of the experiment. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a micro-liquid discontinuous titration experimental device, which can meet the needs of small-scale experiments, has low cost, reduces the number of liquid fillings, and optimizes the liquid filling method to avoid waste caused by leakage of test liquid, while improving the accuracy of experimental data.
[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the utility model proposes the following technical solutions:

[0009] The top of the main pipe passes through the bottom of the overflow cup, and the top pipe opening of the main pipe is higher than the inner bottom surface of the overflow cup, but lower than the top of the overflow cup; the top of the reflux pipe passes through the bottom of the overflow cup and is connected with the inside of the overflow cup, but the reflux pipe opening is not higher than the inner bottom surface of the overflow cup.
[0010] The inflation component includes an inflation tube and a balloon. One end of the inflation tube passes through the bottle stopper and is inserted into the test solution bottle. The bottom tube opening of the inflation tube is higher than the liquid level in the test solution bottle. The other end of the inflation tube is connected to the balloon. The balloon is an inflatable balloon. An air inlet valve is provided on the balloon. Air can be inflated into the test solution bottle by squeezing the balloon. At the same time, the air inlet valve automatically replenishes air into the balloon. When the balloon is squeezed, the air inlet valve is in a closed state. When the balloon is released, the air inlet valve is in an open state.
[0011] The balloon is already known in the prior art and can be directly used by those skilled in the art.
[0012] Preferably, an air valve is provided at one end of the inflation tube connected to the balloon to play the role of opening and closing.
[0013] Preferably, a one-way air valve is provided at one end of the inflation tube connected to the balloon, and an air release valve is provided on the inflation tube. The one-way air valve is located between the air release valve and the balloon. The setting of the one-way air valve allows gas to flow from the balloon into the test solution bottle only, so that the liquid level of the test solution in the main tube rises steadily; the air release valve is provided to allow the test solution bottle to communicate with the external gas, so that excess test solution returns to the test solution bottle.
[0014] Preferably, the burette is arranged on one side of the lower half of the main pipe, and the angle θ between the axis of the burette and the main pipe is 80°-90°.
[0015] Preferably, the switch valve is located higher than the one-way valve.
[0016] Preferably, the inflation tube includes an inflation glass tube and an inflation hose, the inflation glass tube passes through the bottle stopper and is inserted into the test solution bottle, the mouth of the inflation glass tube is higher than the liquid level in the test solution bottle; one end of the inflation hose is connected to the balloon, and the other end of the inflation hose is connected to the inflation glass tube.
[0017] Preferably, the included angle θ between the axis of the burette and the main pipe is 85°.
[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the overflow cup is an inclined inner wall, and the inner diameter of the top of the overflow cup is larger than the inner diameter of the bottom of the overflow cup.

[0020] Preferably, the main pipe, reflux pipe and burette are transparent glass instruments.
[0021] Preferably, the materials used for the test solution bottle, overflow cup, switch, switch valve, and one-way valve are determined according to the chemical properties of the test solution itself.

[0024] When in use, first squeeze the balloon slowly to increase the air pressure in the test solution bottle, and the test solution is squeezed into the main tube. The squeezing frequency of the balloon needs to be controlled. After the test solution enters the main tube through the one-way valve, the liquid level continues to rise. When it rises to the burette, it flows into the burette. After the burette is full, the liquid level in the main tube will continue to rise. If the balloon is squeezed too quickly, the liquid level in the main tube will rise too quickly, and bubbles will remain in the burette.
[0025] Continue to squeeze the balloon slowly, and the test liquid level in the main pipe continues to rise. When the test liquid fills the main pipe, continue to squeeze the balloon slowly to make the test liquid overflow the main pipe and flow into the overflow cup, and then gather at the bottom of the overflow cup and flow into the reflux pipe. When there is test liquid in the reflux pipe but no test liquid at the bottom of the overflow cup, stop squeezing the balloon, the air inlet valve is in the open state, and the gas in the test liquid bottle is released through the air inlet valve. At the same time, open the switch valve to make the test liquid below the reflux pipe and the main pipe check valve flow back into the test liquid bottle. At the same time, due to the setting of the check valve, the test liquid above the main pipe check valve will not flow back.
[0026] Finally, turn on the switch and conduct the titration experiment. After one titration is completed, read the scale line corresponding to the test solution level in the main tube to obtain the volume of the test solution used for this titration. Repeat the above steps for the next titration.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0028] The utility model uses the gas filling assembly, the test liquid bottle, the main pipe, the one-way valve and the overflow cup in coordination, so that the test liquid fills the main pipe in the manner of liquid flowing from the bottom without mixing with air, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test.
[0029] The utility model fills the main pipe by adding liquid from the bottom. After one titration, only one reading is needed to calculate the volume of the test solution used for one titration, thereby reducing manual errors and further ensuring the accuracy of the test.
[0030] The utility model simplifies the liquid supply method by directly supplying liquid from the test liquid bottle to the main pipe, thereby avoiding leakage and waste caused by the conventional liquid supply method.
[0031] The utility model uses the main pipe, the overflow cup and the inflation component in combination, so that the liquid filling volume is constant at one time, the operation mode is simplified and the efficiency is improved.
[0032] The utility model enables the burette to be quickly filled with test liquid during liquid addition through the inclined arrangement of the burette and the main pipe and the cooperation of the inflation component, so as to improve the operation efficiency.
[0033] By adopting the above scheme, the utility model can meet the needs of small-scale experiments, has low cost, reduces the number of liquid filling times, and optimizes the liquid filling method to avoid waste of test liquid leakage; at the same time, it reduces the number of readings, reduces human errors, simplifies the operation method, improves efficiency, and ensures the accuracy of the test.
