Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of detection and sensing devices, and in particular to a split sensor for a cell fermenter with a quick-release mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A sensor is a detection device that can sense the information to be measured and transform the sensed information into an electrical signal or other required form of information output according to a certain rule to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control.

[0003] In order to obtain information from the outside world, people must rely on their sensory organs. However, relying solely on people's own sensory organs, their functions are far from sufficient in studying natural phenomena and laws and production activities. To adapt to this situation, sensors are needed.

[0004] In modern industrial production, especially in the process of automated production, various sensors are used to monitor and control various parameters in the production process, so that the equipment works in a normal state or an optimal state, and the products reach the best quality. Therefore, it can be said that the important role of sensor technology in developing the economy and promoting social progress is very obvious.

[0005] The characteristics of sensors include: miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multi-functionality, systematization, and networking. It is the primary link to achieve automatic detection and automatic control. The existence and development of sensors endow objects with senses such as touch, taste, and smell, making objects gradually come alive. Usually, according to their basic sensing functions, they are divided into ten categories: thermal sensitive elements, photosensitive elements, gas sensitive elements, force sensitive elements, magnetic sensitive elements, humidity sensitive elements, sound sensitive elements, radiation sensitive elements, color sensitive elements, and taste sensitive elements.

[0006] A fermenter refers to a device used for microbial fermentation in industry. Its main body is generally a main cylinder made of stainless steel plates. It can withstand steam sterilization, has a certain operating flexibility, minimizes internal attachments, has strong material and energy transfer performance, and can be adjusted to facilitate cleaning and reduce pollution. It is suitable for the production of various products and reduces energy consumption.

[0007] When existing biological fermenters are in use, they need to be used in conjunction with a large number of sensors. Traditional sensors for biological fermenters are mostly installed inside in a fixed manner and are mostly of an integral fixed structure. As a result, during later disassembly, maintenance, and replacement, only the whole can be replaced, which is troublesome to operate and has a high later cost. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, and to provide an improved traditional sensor for a biological fermenter, which is mostly installed inside in a fixed manner and is mostly an integral fixed structure, resulting in the need to replace the whole during later disassembly, maintenance and replacement, which is troublesome to operate and has a very high later cost.

The lower end of the first glass protection tube is fixedly connected to the upper end of the electrode seat by being inserted into the internal part of the external thread assembly tube. A plurality of lateral limiting rods are movably assembled outside the first glass protection tube, and a bottom quick-release mechanism for controlling the lateral limiting rods is elastically assembled on the inner bottom surface of the external thread assembly tube.

[0010] The assembled metal assembly tube includes an internal metal sleeve fixed to the upper end of the first glass protection tube and an external metal sleeve coaxially fixed to the lower end of the second glass protection tube. The first glass protection tube is coaxially connected to the second glass protection tube by inserting the internal metal sleeve into the internal part of the external metal sleeve.

[0011] A plurality of external limit card slots matched with the lateral limiting rods are opened on the inner side surface of the external metal sleeve, and internal limit jacks matched with the external limit card slots are opened inside the internal metal sleeve.

[0012] The inner side surface of the first glass protection tube has an integrally convex internal movable mounting seat. An inner mounting groove with a built-in movable assembly rod is opened inside the internal movable mounting seat. The lateral limiting rod is sleeved outside the movable assembly rod through an integrally structured internal assembly through hole and is connected to the internal movable mounting seat.

[0013] The top end of the outer side surface of the lateral limiting rod has an integrally convex limiting block protruding into the internal limit jack.

[0014] The bottom quick-release mechanism includes a lateral extrusion spring and a bottom control rod fixed on the inner side wall of the external thread assembly tube.

[0015] On the outer side surface of the electrode base, lateral adjustment sliding grooves are provided corresponding to the positions of the bottom control rods. On the top surface of the inner part of the lateral adjustment sliding grooves, internal telescopic through holes for installing the bottom control rods are provided. On the outer side surface of the bottom control rods, there are lateral linkage extrusion blocks protruding towards the outside of the lateral adjustment sliding grooves. A sliding sleeve is sleeved on the outer side surface of the electrode base, and it is an external control sleeve for controlling the lifting of the lateral linkage extrusion blocks.

At the top end of the bottom control rod, there is a top linkage frame with a square structure. The bottom control rod is sleeved outside the lateral limiting rod through the top linkage frame and is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the lateral limiting rod.

[0017] On the outer side surface of the external metal sleeve, a reverse T-shaped lateral assembly card slot with upper and lateral openings is provided.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] (1) The split-type sensor for a cell fermenter with a quick-release mechanism of the present invention adopts a split-type structural layout and a bottom-mounted installation method, enabling the sensor to be quickly loaded and unloaded.

[0026] Now, the present invention will be further described in detail in conjunction with the drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present invention.

[0027] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A split sensor for a cell fermenter with a quick-release mechanism, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , includes a sensor body. The sensor body includes an electrode base 1 with built-in transmission terminals and a split glass protection tube with built-in resistors. The split glass protection tube includes a first glass protection tube 2 fixedly inserted on the electrode base 1, a second glass protection tube 3, and a spliced metal assembly tube coaxially fixed at the connection end of the first glass protection tube 2 and the second glass protection tube 3. At the upper end of the electrode base 1, at the connection end of the first glass protection tube 2, there is an integrally structured external thread assembly tube 4 protruding upward. The lower end of the first glass protection tube 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the electrode base 1 by inserting into the internal part of the external thread assembly tube 4. Three lateral limiting rods 5 are movably assembled outside the first glass protection tube 2, and an elastic assembly for controlling the lateral limiting rods 5, i.e., a bottom quick-release mechanism, is assembled on the inner bottom surface of the external thread assembly tube 4.

[0028] Operation method: People control the bottom quick-release mechanism to control the flipping of the lateral limiting rods 5. At this time, the lateral limiting rods 5 separate from the spliced metal assembly tube, and at this time, the first glass protection tube 2 and the second glass protection tube 3 separate.

[0029] Furthermore, for splicing cooperation, the spliced metal assembly tube includes an internal metal sleeve 6 fixed at the upper end of the first glass protection tube 2 and an external metal sleeve 7 coaxially fixed at the lower end of the second glass protection tube 3. The first glass protection tube 2 is coaxially connected to the second glass protection tube 3 by inserting the internal metal sleeve 6 into the internal part of the external metal sleeve 7.

The lateral limiting rods 5 are connected to the internal movable mounting seat 10 by sleeving outside the movable assembly rod through an integrally structured internal assembly through hole. Further, for top limiting cooperation, the top end of the outer side surface of the lateral limiting rods 5 has an integrally structured limiting block 11 protruding into the internal limiting jack 9.

[0031] The upper end of the lateral limiting rod 11 is flipped outward, so that the limiting block 11 is inserted from the internal limiting jack 9 into the external limiting slot 8, thereby making the internal metal sleeve 6 and the external metal sleeve 7 snap-fitted and fixed.

[0032] Further, for convenient control, the bottom quick-release mechanism includes a lateral extrusion spring 12 and a bottom control rod 13 fixed on the inner side wall of the external thread assembly tube 4.

[0033] People pull down the external control sleeve 17 to drive the bottom control rod 13 to be pulled down, thereby controlling the bottom end of the lateral limiting rod 5 to turn outward. Through the lever principle, the limiting block 11 is separated from the external limiting card slot 8, and at this time, the inner metal sleeve 6 can be pulled out and separated from the inner part of the external metal sleeve 7.

[0034] Further, in order to prevent the elastic connection end from loosening and cooperate with the lifting control, an internal assembly rod 18 protruding toward the lateral extrusion spring 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the side wall of the lateral limiting rod 5. The top of the bottom control rod 18 has a top linkage frame 19 with a square structure. The bottom control rod 18 is sleeved outside the lateral limiting rod 5 through the top linkage frame 19 and is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the lateral limiting rod 5. Further, for cooperating with the outer assembly limit, a reverse T-shaped lateral assembly card slot 20 with an upper end and a lateral opening is provided on the outer side surface of the external metal sleeve 7.

[0035] The split-type sensor for a cell fermenter with a quick-release mechanism of the present invention adopts a split-type structure layout and a bottom-mounted installation method, so that the sensor can be quickly loaded and unloaded, and at the same time, parts can be replaced separately according to needs, greatly reducing its later use cost; a bottom quick-release mechanism for controlling the lateral limiting rod 5 is elastically assembled on the inner bottom surface of the external thread assembly tube 4.
