[0002] At present, different concentrations of acid, including sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, formic acid, etc., are used in various manufacturing industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and textile. Because the acid concentration requirements of various industries are different, most of the acid used is prepared by diluting concentrated acid. In the acid preparation process, concentrated acid will release a lot of heat when diluted. How to solve the heat dissipation is a very important issue. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, the acid will boil due to the rise in temperature, and even splashing will occur, causing great safety hazards.

[0003] The current method of diluting acid is to manually add pure water to the acid preparation barrel first, and then add the original acid and stir. Manual dilution of acid is very dangerous, such as the corrosion of the original acid in contact with the skin, the inhalation hazard of the volatilized acid, and the large amount of heat released when the original acid is mixed with water, which can cause harm to the human body if not handled with care.

[0010] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the technical problem of the method is to provide an acid preparation method based on the small-scale automatic acid preparation device, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0011] Working condition 1: There is acid in the acid preparation barrel, and the concentration of the acid prepared this time is the same as the acid in the acid preparation barrel;

[0012] (1) Loading: When acid preparation begins, place the liquid bottle containing the original acid on the moving plate; the PLC detects the state of the limit switch; if the limit switch is in the closed state, the liquid pipetting rack is at its origin position and the DC motor starts; if the limit switch is in the open state, the stepper motor starts and drives the liquid pipetting rack to move vertically upward through the ball screw. When the liquid pipetting rack touches the limit switch and causes the limit switch to close, the PLC receives a signal to control the stepper motor to stop. At this time, the liquid pipetting rack is at its origin position and the DC motor starts; the started DC motor drives the moving plate to move horizontally through the gear and rack to send the liquid bottle containing the original acid into the device; when the moving plate moves When the moving plate moves to the position where the positioning piece on it matches the proximity switch, the proximity switch is closed; the PLC receives the signal to control the DC motor to stop moving, and the moving plate stops moving. At this time, the bottle mouths of the liquid bottles are located directly below their respective pipettes; while the moving plate moves, the number of liquid bottles is recorded by the closing times of the photoelectric sensor received by the PLC; when the number of liquid bottles is equal to the set number, step (2) is entered; when the number of liquid bottles is less than the set number, the DC motor is started, and the moving plate is driven to move horizontally through the gear and rack, and the liquid bottles containing raw acid are sent out of the device, and the acid preparation is stopped. After the matching with the set number is completed, the loading process is repeated;

[0013] (2) Add acid: by formula Calculate the number of steps l of the stepper motor, and ensure that the pipette can accurately reach the bottom of the liquid bottle through step control, where s is the distance between the end of the pipette and the bottom of the liquid bottle when the pipette rack is at the origin, a is the subdivision of the stepper motor, and d is the pitch of the ball screw; after the stepper motor drives the pipette rack to move down for l steps, the PLC controls the stepper motor to stop, at which time the end of each pipette touches the bottom of its own liquid bottle; then high-speed cold air is introduced into the air pipe, and the high-speed cold air flows into the liquid collector through the connecting piece, causing the inside of the liquid collector to The atmospheric pressure is lower than that in the liquid bottle, which makes the air pressure at both ends of the pipette unbalanced. The atmospheric pressure presses the original acid from the liquid bottle into the liquid extractor. The original acid is atomized into droplets in the liquid extractor after being impacted by the high-speed airflow. The droplets are then flushed into the acid preparation barrel through the acid preparation pipe. The specific surface area of ​​the atomized droplets becomes larger, and the contact with the acid in the acid preparation barrel is more complete, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency. During the process of adding acid from the liquid bottle to the acid preparation barrel, the PLC monitors the quality of the acid preparation barrel in real time through the weighing sensor. When the quality of the acid preparation barrel does not change, the acid addition process ends.

[0014] (3) Acid preparation: by formula Calculate the amount of water added m, where n is the concentration of the acid in the acid preparation barrel, M is the mass of the original acid, and N is the concentration of the original acid; then the PLC closes the solenoid valve to start adding water, and the weighing sensor monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel in real time and transmits the mass information to the PLC; when the amount of water added reaches the calculated value m, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve, stops adding water, and completes the acid preparation;

[0015] Working condition 2: Prepare acid solution of new concentration in an empty acid preparation barrel;

[0016] (1) Loading: When acid preparation begins, place the liquid bottle containing the original acid on the moving plate; the PLC detects the state of the limit switch; if the limit switch is in the closed state, the liquid pipetting rack is at its origin position and the DC motor starts; if the limit switch is in the open state, the stepper motor starts and drives the liquid pipetting rack to move vertically upward through the ball screw. When the liquid pipetting rack touches the limit switch and causes the limit switch to close, the PLC receives a signal to control the stepper motor to stop. At this time, the liquid pipetting rack is at its origin position and the DC motor starts; the started DC motor drives the moving plate to move horizontally through the gear and rack to send the liquid bottle containing the original acid into the device; when the moving plate moves When the moving plate moves to the position where the positioning piece on it matches the proximity switch, the proximity switch is closed; the PLC receives the signal to control the DC motor to stop moving, and the moving plate stops moving. At this time, the bottle mouths of the liquid bottles are located directly below their respective pipettes; while the moving plate moves, the number of liquid bottles is recorded by the closing times of the photoelectric sensor received by the PLC; when the number of liquid bottles is equal to the set number, step (2) is entered; when the number of liquid bottles is less than the set number, the DC motor is started, and the moving plate is driven to move horizontally through the gear and rack, and the liquid bottles containing raw acid are sent out of the device, and the acid preparation is stopped. After the matching with the set number is completed, the loading process is repeated;

[0017] (2) Pre-adding water: According to the concentration of the original acid and the concentration of the new acid to be prepared, the total amount of water to be added is estimated, and then the pre-adding water amount m1 is set according to the estimated total amount of water to be added; the PLC closes the solenoid valve to start adding water, and the weighing sensor monitors the quality of the acid preparation barrel in real time and transmits the quality information to the PLC; when the pre-adding water amount reaches the set value m1, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve and stops adding water;

[0018] (3) Add acid: by formula Calculate the number of steps l of the stepper motor, and ensure that the pipette can accurately reach the bottom of the liquid bottle through step control, where s is the distance between the end of the pipette and the bottom of the liquid bottle when the pipette rack is at the origin, a is the subdivision of the stepper motor, and d is the pitch of the ball screw; after the stepper motor drives the pipette rack to move down for l steps, the PLC controls the stepper motor to stop, at which time the end of each pipette touches the bottom of its own liquid bottle; then high-speed cold air is introduced into the air pipe, and the high-speed cold air flows into the liquid collector through the connecting piece, causing the inside of the liquid collector to The atmospheric pressure is lower than that in the liquid bottle, which makes the air pressure at both ends of the pipette unbalanced. The atmospheric pressure presses the original acid from the liquid bottle into the liquid extractor. The original acid is atomized into droplets in the liquid extractor after being impacted by the high-speed airflow. The droplets are then flushed into the acid preparation barrel through the acid preparation pipe. The specific surface area of ​​the atomized droplets becomes larger, and the contact with the water in the acid preparation barrel is more complete, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency. During the process of adding acid from the liquid bottle to the acid preparation barrel, the PLC monitors the quality of the acid preparation barrel in real time through the weighing sensor. When the quality of the acid preparation barrel does not change, the acid addition process ends.

[0019] (4) Acid preparation: by formula Calculate the amount of water to be added m2, where n is the concentration of the new acid to be prepared, M is the mass of the original acid, and N is the concentration of the original acid; then the PLC closes the solenoid valve to start adding water, and the weighing sensor monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel in real time and transmits the quality information to the PLC; when the amount of water added reaches the calculated value m2, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve, stops adding water, and completes the acid preparation.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) The liquid suction mechanism of the device uses jet technology to take acid and atomize the original acid, converting the current liquid-liquid acid preparation into liquid-mist acid preparation. It not only realizes the transfer of the original acid, but also atomizes the original acid into small droplets, which increases the specific surface area and makes the original acid contact with the acid liquid or water more fully, greatly improving the heat dissipation effect and heat dissipation efficiency during dilution, and cleverly solving the heat dissipation problem during current acid preparation.

[0022] (2) Small droplets are more dispersed than liquids and will not generate heat in a certain area. In addition, the atomized acid droplets have a larger specific surface area and their heat dissipation effect is much stronger than that of liquids. Combined with the high-speed cold air sprayed in, the temperature rise in the acid preparation barrel can be effectively suppressed.

[0023] (3) The liquid dispenser has no moving parts and is made entirely of PVDF material to ensure that it will not be corroded by strong acids.

[0024] (4) A one-way valve is provided on the liquid pipette to ensure that the gas does not rush into the liquid bottle and cause the original acid to splash, so that the original acid can only flow from the liquid bottle to the liquid extractor.

[0025] (5) By controlling all acid preparation units through PLC, it is possible to prepare different types of acids with different concentrations at the same time, thereby improving the acid preparation efficiency.

[0026] (6) A more precise stepper motor is used as the power for moving the pipette. By controlling the number of steps of the stepper motor, the end of the pipette can accurately reach the bottom of the liquid bottle, avoiding the waste of original acid and achieving accurate acid distribution.

[0027] (7) The weighing mechanism converts the measurement of the acid volume into mass measurement, which not only reduces the number of devices inside the acid preparation barrel, but also reduces the difficulty of measurement.

[0028] (8) This device can be used in the laboratory. It is simple to operate, safe and efficient, occupies a small area, and is easy to operate by one person. It not only improves safety, but also greatly ensures the accuracy and efficiency of acid preparation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] The present invention provides an acid dispensing method (hereinafter referred to as the method) based on the small-scale automatic acid dispensing device, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0050] Working condition 1: There is acid liquid in the acid preparation barrel 33, and the concentration of the acid prepared this time is the same as the concentration of the acid liquid in the acid preparation barrel 33;

[0051] (1) Loading: When acid preparation begins, place the liquid bottle 5 containing the original acid on the moving plate 11; the PLC detects the state of the limit switch 23; if the limit switch 23 is in the closed state, the liquid pipetting rack 25 is at its origin position, and the DC motor 12 starts; if the limit switch 23 is in the open state, the stepper motor 21 starts, and drives the liquid pipetting rack 25 to move vertically upward through the ball screw 22. When the liquid pipetting rack 25 touches the limit switch 23 and causes the limit switch 23 to close, the PLC receives a signal to control the stepper motor 21 to stop. At this time, the liquid pipetting rack 25 is at its origin position, and the DC motor 12 starts; the started DC motor 12 drives the moving plate 11 to move horizontally through the gear 15 and the rack 16, and the liquid pipetting rack 5 containing the original acid is fed into the device; When the moving plate 11 moves to the position where the positioning member 17 thereon cooperates with the proximity switch 14, the proximity switch 14 is closed; the PLC receives a signal to control the DC motor 12 to stop moving, and the moving plate 11 stops moving. At this time, the bottle mouths of the liquid bottles 5 are located directly below their respective pipettes 24; while the moving plate 11 moves, the number of closing times of the photoelectric sensor 13 received by the PLC is used to record the number of liquid bottles 5; when the number of liquid bottles 5 is equal to the set number, step (2) is entered; when the number of liquid bottles 5 is less than the set number, the DC motor 12 is started, and the moving plate 11 is driven to move horizontally through the gear 15 and the rack 16, and the liquid bottles 5 containing raw acid are sent out of the device, and the acid preparation is stopped. After completing the matching with the set number, the loading process is repeated;

[0052] (2) Add acid: by formula The number of steps of the stepper motor 21 is calculated, and the number of steps is controlled to ensure that the pipette 24 can accurately reach the bottom of the liquid bottle 5, where s is the distance between the end of the pipette 24 and the bottom of the liquid bottle 5 when the pipette frame 25 is at the origin, a is the subdivision of the stepper motor 21, and d is the pitch of the ball screw 22; after the stepper motor 21 drives the pipette frame 25 to move downward for 1 step, the PLC controls the stepper motor 21 to stop, and at this time, the end of each pipette 24 contacts the bottom of its own liquid bottle 5; then high-speed cold air is introduced into the air pipe 27, and the high-speed cold air flows into the liquid collector 26 through the connecting piece 210, causing the liquid collector to The atmospheric pressure inside the liquid bottle 26 is lower than the atmospheric pressure inside the liquid bottle 5, so that the air pressure at both ends of the liquid pipette 24 is unbalanced. The atmospheric pressure presses the original acid from the liquid bottle 5 into the liquid extractor 26. The original acid is atomized into droplets in the liquid extractor 26 by the impact of the high-speed airflow. The droplets are then rushed into the acid preparation barrel 33 through the acid preparation pipe 28. The specific surface area of ​​the atomized droplets becomes larger, and the contact with the acid in the acid preparation barrel 33 is more sufficient, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency. During the process of adding acid from the liquid bottle 5 to the acid preparation barrel 33, the PLC monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 in real time through the weighing sensor 31. When the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 does not change, the acid addition process ends.

[0053] (3) Acid preparation: by formula The mass of water to be added, i.e., the amount of water added m, is calculated, where n is the concentration of the acid solution in the acid preparation barrel 33, M is the mass of the original acid, and N is the concentration of the original acid; then the PLC closes the solenoid valve 34 to start adding water, and the weighing sensor 31 monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 in real time and transmits the mass information to the PLC; when the amount of water added reaches the calculated value m, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve 34, stops adding water, and completes the acid preparation.

[0054] Working condition 2: preparing acid solution of new concentration in the empty acid preparation barrel 33;

[0055] (1) Loading: When acid preparation begins, place the liquid bottle 5 containing the original acid on the moving plate 11; the PLC detects the state of the limit switch 23; if the limit switch 23 is in the closed state, the liquid pipetting rack 25 is at its origin position, and the DC motor 12 starts; if the limit switch 23 is in the open state, the stepper motor 21 starts, and drives the liquid pipetting rack 25 to move vertically upward through the ball screw 22. When the liquid pipetting rack 25 touches the limit switch 23 and causes the limit switch 23 to close, the PLC receives a signal to control the stepper motor 21 to stop. At this time, the liquid pipetting rack 25 is at its origin position, and the DC motor 12 starts; the started DC motor 12 drives the moving plate 11 to move horizontally through the gear 15 and the rack 16, and the liquid pipetting rack 5 containing the original acid is fed into the device; When the moving plate 11 moves to the position where the positioning member 17 thereon cooperates with the proximity switch 14, the proximity switch 14 is closed; the PLC receives a signal to control the DC motor 12 to stop moving, and the moving plate 11 stops moving. At this time, the bottle mouths of the liquid bottles 5 are located directly below their respective pipettes 24; while the moving plate 11 moves, the number of closing times of the photoelectric sensor 13 received by the PLC is used to record the number of liquid bottles 5; when the number of liquid bottles 5 is equal to the set number, step (2) is entered; when the number of liquid bottles 5 is less than the set number, the DC motor 12 is started, and the moving plate 11 is driven to move horizontally through the gear 15 and the rack 16, and the liquid bottles 5 containing raw acid are sent out of the device, and the acid preparation is stopped. After completing the matching with the set number, the loading process is repeated;

[0056] (2) Pre-adding water: According to the concentration of the original acid and the concentration of the new acid to be prepared, the total amount of water to be added is estimated, and then the pre-adding water amount m1 is set according to the estimated total amount of water to be added; the PLC closes the solenoid valve 34 to start adding water, and the weighing sensor 31 monitors the quality of the acid preparation barrel 33 in real time and transmits the quality information to the PLC; when the pre-adding water amount reaches the set value m1, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve 34 and stops adding water;

[0057] (3) Add acid: by formula The number of steps l of the stepper motor 21 is calculated, and the step control is used to ensure that the pipette 24 can accurately reach the bottom of the liquid bottle 5, where s is the distance between the end of the pipette 24 and the bottom of the liquid bottle 5 when the pipette frame 25 is at the origin, a is the subdivision of the stepper motor 21, and d is the pitch of the ball screw 22; after the stepper motor 21 drives the pipette frame 25 to move downward for l step, the PLC controls the stepper motor 21 to stop, and at this time, the end of each pipette 24 contacts the bottom of its own liquid bottle 5; then high-speed cold air is introduced into the air pipe 27, and the high-speed cold air flows into the liquid collector 26 through the connecting piece 210, resulting in liquid collection. The atmospheric pressure inside the device 26 is lower than the atmospheric pressure inside the liquid bottle 5, so that the air pressure at both ends of the liquid pipette 24 is unbalanced. The atmospheric pressure presses the original acid from the liquid bottle 5 into the liquid extractor 26. The original acid is atomized into droplets in the liquid extractor 26 by the impact of the high-speed airflow. The droplets are then rushed into the acid preparation barrel 33 through the acid preparation pipe 28. The specific surface area of ​​the atomized droplets becomes larger, and the contact with the water in the acid preparation barrel 33 is more sufficient, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency. During the process of adding acid from the liquid bottle 5 to the acid preparation barrel 33, the PLC monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 in real time through the weighing sensor 31. When the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 does not change, the acid addition process ends.

[0058] (4) Acid preparation: by formula The mass m2 of water that needs to be added, i.e., the amount of water added, is calculated, where n is the concentration of the new acid to be prepared, M is the mass of the original acid, and N is the concentration of the original acid; then the PLC closes the solenoid valve 34 to start adding water, and the weighing sensor 31 monitors the mass of the acid preparation barrel 33 in real time and transmits the mass information to the PLC; when the amount of water added reaches the calculated value m2, the PLC disconnects the solenoid valve 34, stops adding water, and completes the acid preparation.
