Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sampling tube cutter, in particular to a portable solid sampling tube cutter. Background Art

[0002] Solid adsorbent sampling tubes are widely used in environmental air monitoring and occupational health monitoring. They are mainly used to collect gaseous and vapor toxic substances. Solid adsorbent tubes include activated carbon tubes, silicone tubes, molecular sieve tubes, and polymer porous microsphere tubes. Commonly used activated carbon tubes are mainly used to collect non-polar and weakly polar compounds in the air, such as triphenyl, etc.; silicone tubes are mainly used to collect polar and medium-polar compounds in the air, such as methanol, etc. A certain amount of solid adsorbent is placed in a glass tube of a certain size, sealed at both ends, and covered with a rubber cap to make a solid adsorbent tube. When sampling, bring the solid sampling tube to the work site, use a cutting tool to cut off both ends of the fusion seal, and then connect it to the gas sampler. The harmful substances in the air are adsorbed on the solid adsorbent after passing through the sampling tube. After the collection is completed, seal the two ends of the sampling tube with rubber caps and transport it back to the laboratory. The laboratory staff cuts the glass tube, pours the adsorbent in the glass tube into the desorption bottle, adds a certain amount of desorbent, and shakes on the oscillator for 30 minutes to desorb the test object. Then, the sample is analyzed to determine the content of harmful substances, and the air quality or occupational health evaluation of the air in the occupational health workplace can be performed. The glass tube needs to be cut before sampling and measurement. How to cut it quickly and efficiently is an urgent problem to be solved by monitoring technicians. Currently, there are several known methods for cutting glass sampling tubes: the first is pliers tools. At the sampling site, the main problem with using pliers to crush the fused seals at both ends of the solid adsorption tube is that after the glass is crushed, the debris is easy to splash and may fall on the ground, shoes, and especially on the drug and food production workshops that have requirements for cleanliness, which may easily cause the risk of product glass slag; after crushing with pliers, the cut is uneven, which is easy to hurt the hands when connecting the sampling tube to the air sampler; in addition, after the sample is collected, the rubber caps need to be sealed at both ends, which is also easy to puncture the rubber caps, resulting in a loose seal, which is easy to cause contamination during transportation and affect the accuracy of the sample measurement results. In addition, pliers can only be used to crush thin-diameter fused seals during on-site sampling, and cannot be used to cut the glass tube from the middle during laboratory testing.

[0003] The first one is a glass sampling tube with frosted sections at both ends of the sampling tube, which is disclosed in patent CN203275140U. It is an improvement on the specific sampling tube itself, but it cannot solve the problem of cutting sampling tubes of different glasses during on-site sampling. The limitation of use is very small. At present, the frosted sections are not widely used, and the glass sampling tubes on the market still use an integrated straight tube design. The second one uses a stainless steel needle to cut the sampling tube, but this method can only break the sampling tube violently during laboratory testing, and cannot be used to cut off the fused seal head during on-site sampling. Strictly speaking, this operation is not to cut the sampling tube, but to slowly break the sampling tube from the head and take out the adsorbent in the sampling tube. Therefore, gloves need to be worn when operating this method to prevent hand injuries. The breaking force is large, which will also cause glass fragments to splash, posing a safety hazard to the experimenter, and it is also easy to cause the adsorbent to spill, resulting in low sample test results. The third one is a medical grinding wheel tool. The disadvantages of medical grinding wheels are that they are easy to wear, the grinding wheel is thick and not sharp, and when the medical grinding wheel is used to cut the sampling tube, a lot of grinding wheel chips will fall off during friction, generating dust, and the experimenter needs to use a lot of force to rub out scratches, sometimes crushing the glass sampling tube, causing the sample to be scrapped, and the cut edge is not smooth, which is easy to hurt the hand. Medical grinding wheels can only be used to cut sampling tubes during laboratory testing, and during field sampling, because the length of the glass tube fusion seal is only 10mm, the thickness is about 0.5-1mm, and the surface of the fusion seal is an inclined cone instead of a flat plane, which is not convenient for cutting scratches. The fourth patent CN213165574U designs an activated carbon tube cutter with dust suppression function, but this type of cutter uses atomized water spray to suppress the cutting dust during cutting, but the water sprayed by this structure is easy to contaminate the solid adsorbent in the sampling tube, causing the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent to decrease or even disappear, resulting in unreliable results for the determination of harmful substances.
