Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methyl tert-butyl ether technology, specifically to a methyl tert-butyl ether sampling and detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a commonly used gasoline additive, and its sampling and testing are crucial. In testing scenarios, multiple samplings are often required from different batches, locations, or reaction stages. Traditional sampling devices are mostly designed for single-sampling, which presents the following problems when repeated: frequent disassembly and assembly can introduce external impurities that contaminate the sample; repeated exposure to air can accelerate the volatilization of MTBE, leading to distortion of sample composition; when switching between different sampling points, residual samples in the device can easily cause cross-contamination; and repeated operations are time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of continuous monitoring or multi-scenario comparative testing. These pain points highlight the necessity of developing a device with multiple sampling capabilities that can ensure sample integrity.
[0003] Patent publication number CN213239604U discloses a stratified sampling device for liquid food testing, including a sampling rod for inserting into the liquid, a sampling ring for mounting on the sampling rod, and a handle. The sampling ring is a detachable component, comprising a clamping module and a sampling module, which are fixedly connected. The clamping module enables the sampling ring to be fixed to the sampling rod and detached from the sampling rod. The sampling module includes a storage tank for storing the sampled liquid and a sealing cover for opening and closing the storage tank. The handle is rotatably connected to the sampling rod, and the handle is connected to the sealing cover via a transmission mechanism so that the handle drives the sealing cover to slide when it rotates.
[0004] To address the issue of incomplete cleaning of sampling loops leading to sample contamination and compromised test results, existing technologies employ a detachable and simple design for the sampling loop, resulting in low cost and allowing it to be used as a disposable component. However, this approach still necessitates multiple sampling sessions, requiring sample collection each time. Utility Model Content

Then, the angle of the limiting rod is adjusted to a vertical state, and then the fixing plate is pressed. The piston rod moves downward. When it is pressed to the lowest position, the locking block is rotated to fix the fixing plate. When sampling, the locking block is rotated, and the spring elasticity is used to automatically sample, thereby realizing quantitative sampling each time. Since the inner diameter of the sampling head is much smaller than the inner diameter of the sampling tube, a convex liquid surface is formed on the liquid surface in the extremely narrow tube. The surface tension generates additional pressure pointing towards the liquid interior, which hinders the liquid from flowing out. Attached Figure Description

The connecting sleeve 25 penetrates the back plate of the collection box 21 and is flush with the bottom of the inner wall of the back plate of the collection box 21.

Above the feed inlet 15, a circular hole is provided in the middle of the limiting partition 13. The piston rod 16 passes through the limiting partition 13 and extends to the bottom of the limiting partition 13. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a turntable 32, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting shaft 22. The turntable 32 is set on the top of the collection box 21. The surface of the turntable 32 is provided with a number 33, which is distributed in a circumferential array. Each number 33 is located at the top of the corresponding compartment inside the extraction tube 11. A protective shell 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 21. A display hole 34 is provided on the top of the protective shell 31.
[0030] In this embodiment, by inserting the connecting shaft 22 into the rotating shaft 14 and then fitting the rubber sleeve 24 onto the discharge port 15, the extraction tube 11 and the collection box 21 are sealed together.

The extracted sample flows into the designated compartment due to gravity. Then, the knob 26 is rotated to the next label, thereby achieving separate storage of multiple extracted samples.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the automatic extraction mechanism 4 includes a support plate 41 and a spring 43. The support plate 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 18, and a locking block 42 is rotatably connected to the top of the support plate 41. One end of the spring 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 18, and the other end of the spring 43 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 44. The fixing plate 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston rod 16, and one end of the fixing plate 44 is arc-shaped. The metering mechanism 5 includes a damping shaft 51, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the extraction tube 11. A slot 52 is rotatably connected to the side of the damping shaft 51, and a fixing screw 53 is threadedly connected to the side of the slot 52. The fixing screw 53 penetrates the side of the slot 52 and extends into the interior of the slot 52. A limit rod 54 is inserted into the interior of the slot 52.

Then, the angle of the limiting rod 54 is adjusted to a vertical state, and then the fixing plate 44 is pressed. The piston rod 16 moves downward. When it is pressed to the lowest position, the rotating block 42 fixes the fixing plate 44. When extracting, the rotating block 42 automatically samples using the elastic action of the spring 43, thereby achieving quantitative sampling each time. Since the inner diameter of the extraction head 12 is much smaller than the inner diameter of the extraction tube 11, a convex liquid surface is formed on the liquid surface in the extremely thin tube. The surface tension generates additional pressure pointing towards the liquid interior, hindering the liquid from flowing out.
[0034] The working principle of this methyl tert-butyl ether sampling and testing device will be explained in detail below.
[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, by inserting the connecting shaft 22 into the rotating shaft 14, and then fitting the rubber sleeve 24 onto the discharge port 15, a sealed connection is achieved between the extraction tube 11 and the collection box 21. By rotating the knob 26, the knob 26 drives the partition 23 and the turntable 32 to rotate via the connecting shaft 22. The partition 23 divides the interior of the collection box 21 into several compartments. By rotating the label 33 corresponding to the designated compartment to the display hole 34, and then by loosening the fixing screw 53, the length is adjusted according to the scale on the limit rod 54. After adjustment, the fixing screw 53 is tightened, and the limit rod 54 is fixed by pressing the slot 52. Then, the angle of the limit rod 54 is adjusted to a vertical state, and then the fixing plate 44 is pressed, causing the piston rod 16 to move downwards. When the device reaches its lowest point, the rotating block 42 fixes the fixed plate 44. During extraction, rotating the block 42 automatically extracts samples using the elastic force of the spring 43, thus achieving quantitative sampling each time. Since the inner diameter of the extraction head 12 is much smaller than the inner diameter of the extraction tube 11, a convex liquid surface is formed on the liquid surface in the extremely thin tube. The surface tension generates additional pressure pointing towards the liquid interior, hindering the liquid from flowing out. Then, the device is inverted, and the limiting rod 54 is rotated towards the arc-shaped side of the fixed plate 44. By utilizing the elasticity of the spring 43, the piston rod 16 is pushed backward and stops moving in front of the limiting partition 13. The extracted sample flows into the designated chamber due to gravity. Then, the knob 26 is rotated to the next mark, thus achieving separate storage of multiple extracted samples.
[0036] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
