Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of glove box transition compartment structure design, specifically relating to a multifunctional glove box transition compartment structure. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum glove box is a laboratory device that fills the chamber with high-purity inert gas and circulates it to filter out active substances. It is also called a glove box, inert gas protection box, or dry box. Primarily used for the removal of O2, H2O, and organic gases, it is widely applied in ultra-pure environments that are anhydrous, oxygen-free, and dust-free, such as those used in lithium-ion batteries and materials, semiconductors, supercapacitors, special lamps, laser welding, and brazing. This product is an ideal device for scientific experiments in universities, research institutions, and corporate laboratories, and is widely used in biochemistry, metallurgy, electronics, chemical engineering, geology, mining, and pharmaceutical industries.

[0003] Currently, existing vacuum glove boxes mainly consist of a glove box and a transition chamber. The transition chamber serves as a transition space between the glove box and the outside of the box. Before materials enter the glove box, they need to first enter the transition chamber, where a vacuum is drawn and broken. This process is repeated three times before materials can enter the glove box. This ensures that the clean atmosphere inside the glove box is not contaminated.

[0004] Currently, materials are mostly transported via sliding rails during transfer within transition chambers. However, when transferring materials contained in unstable containers such as test tubes, although protected by packaging boxes, there is still a possibility of the containers tipping over and spilling materials during the transfer process. Furthermore, some materials require heating within the transition chamber, but existing transition chambers lack heating equipment. Therefore, designing a multifunctional glove box transition chamber structure is a pressing technical challenge for the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pressing block is slidably connected to the rotating ring, a spring is fixedly connected between the pressing block and the rotating ring, an abutting block is fixedly connected to one side of the pressing block, the abutting block has an arc-shaped cross-section, and the abutting block abuts against the pressing rod.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sliding structure is provided with a limiting structure, the limiting structure includes a stop block, the stop block is slidably connected to the rotating ring, a spring is fixedly connected between the stop block and the rotating ring, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the rotating ring, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the stop block.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heating structure is installed on the sliding structure. The heating structure includes a fixed base, a fixed base is fixedly connected inside the rotating ring, a heating rod is detachably connected to the fixed base, and a heat dissipation plate is rotatably connected to the rotating ring. The heat dissipation plate is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the rotating ring, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one end of the heat sink, a clamping block is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the clamping block abuts against the fixing plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The multifunctional glove box transition chamber structure of the present invention allows for the placement of materials contained in test tubes or other round containers into the transition chamber body. The containers are positioned according to their size within the slots on the horizontal plate and protected by rubber rings to prevent collisions. The rubber rings on the horizontal plate limit the container's position, and the tray supports it, preventing spillage during transport. When placing conventional materials into the transition chamber body, the pull rod can compress the spring between the limiting plate and the rotating ring, preventing the pull rod from being fixed to the fixed plate. The slots on the block engage, and then the rotating ring is rotated. When the rotating ring rotates to the position of the placement tray and pallet to switch, the spring between the limiting plate and the rotating ring drives the insertion rod to move, so that the insertion rod engages with the slot on another fixed block, fixing the rotating ring. At this time, the material can be placed directly on the placement tray. After the material is placed on the pallet or placement tray, the placement tray or pallet can be slid towards the inner door of the transition chamber body by the slider at the bottom of the placement tray or pallet and the roller on the slider. During the sliding, the limiting blocks at the bottom of the placement tray and pallet can limit the placement tray and pallet to prevent them from falling off the rotating ring.

[0018] (2) The multifunctional glove box transition compartment structure of the present invention allows the horizontal plate to be slid according to the height of the container when the container is placed on the horizontal plate on the tray. This allows the protrusions on the moving blocks on both sides of the horizontal plate to engage with different grooves, thereby adjusting the height of the horizontal plate and better limiting the container, thus preventing the container from tipping over and spilling materials during the feeding process.

[0019] (3) The multifunctional glove box transition chamber structure of the present invention has a squeezing structure on the sliding structure and a limiting structure on the sliding structure. The squeezing structure and the limiting structure work together to slow down the sliding speed when the liquid is put in, so as to avoid the liquid in the container splashing out due to excessive speed.

[0020] (4) The multifunctional glove box transition chamber structure of the present invention has a heating structure installed on the sliding structure. When the material is transported through the placement tray or pallet, the heat dissipation plate corresponding to the placement tray or pallet can be operated. That is, the rotating shaft at one end of the heat dissipation plate corresponding to the placement tray or pallet is rotated, so that the rotating shaft drives the clamping blocks at both ends of the plate to rotate, so that the two clamping blocks are perpendicular to the heat dissipation plate and no longer collide with the fixed plate. Then the heat dissipation plate is rotated to open, and the heating rod is fixed in the fixed seat. Then the heat dissipation plate is closed, and the rotating shaft on the heat dissipation plate is rotated, so that the clamping blocks at both ends of the rotating shaft are locked at the upper and lower ends of the fixed plate to fix the heat dissipation plate. Then the chamber door is closed, and current is supplied to the heating rod in the fixed seat through the outside to make the heating rod heat up. The heat generated by the heating rod can escape outward through the heat dissipation holes on the heat dissipation plate to heat the material in the transition chamber body.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a multifunctional glove box transition compartment structure, specifically including a transition compartment body 1 connected to the glove box, and a sliding structure 2 provided on the transition compartment body 1. The sliding structure 2 specifically includes a rotating ring 201, which is rotatably connected inside the transition compartment body 1. One end of the rotating ring 201 is slidably connected to a placement tray 202, and the other end is slidably connected to a pallet 203. Slider blocks 204 are fixedly connected to both the placement tray 202 and the pallet 203, and the sliders 204 are slidably connected to the rotating ring 201. Limiting blocks 207 are fixedly connected to both the placement tray 202 and the pallet 203, and the limiting blocks 207 are slidably connected to the rotating ring 201. A horizontal plate 205 is slidably connected to the pallet 203, and multiple rubber rings 206 of different sizes are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 205, thus facilitating the avoidance of collision between the container and the horizontal plate 205 through the rubber rings 206.

[0031] In this embodiment, when materials contained in test tubes or other round containers are placed into the transition chamber body 1, the containers can be placed in the slots on the horizontal plate 205 according to their size, and protected by rubber rings 206 to prevent collision between the containers and the horizontal plate 205. The rubber rings 206 on the horizontal plate 205 limit the container, and the tray 203 supports the container to prevent test tubes and other containers from tipping over and spilling materials during transportation.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a rotating structure 3 is provided on the sliding structure 2. The rotating structure 3 specifically includes a fixed block 301. The fixed block 301 is fixedly connected to the transition chamber body 1. The rotating ring 201 is provided with a sliding groove 302. The fixed block 301 and the rotating ring 201 are slidably connected through the sliding groove 302. In this embodiment, the fixed block 301 has a T-shaped cross-section and a slot 303. A rod 304 is slidably connected to the rotating ring 201, and the rod 304 engages with the slot 303. A pull rod 305 is fixedly connected to one end of the rod 304, and the pull rod 305 is slidably connected to the rotating ring 201. A limiting plate 306 is fixedly connected to the rod 304, and a spring is fixedly connected between the limiting plate 306 and the rotating ring 201. This facilitates the selection of the placement tray 202 or pallet 203 according to the container state.

[0033] In this embodiment, the spring between the limiting plate 306 and the rotating ring 201 can be compressed by the pull rod 305 driving the insertion rod 304 fixed to the pull rod 305, so that the pull rod 305 is no longer engaged with the slot 303 on the fixing block 301. Then, the rotating ring 201 is rotated. When the rotating ring 201 rotates to the position of the placement tray 202 and the pallet 203, the spring between the limiting plate 306 and the rotating ring 201 drives the insertion rod 304 to move, so that the insertion rod 304 engages with the slot 303 on another fixing block 301, fixing the rotating ring 201. At this time, the material can be placed directly on the placement tray 202. After the material is placed on the pallet 203 or the placement tray 202, the placement tray 202 or the pallet 203 can be slid towards the inner door of the transition chamber body 1 by the slider 204 at the bottom of the placement tray 202 or the roller on the slider 204. During the sliding, the limiting block 207 at the bottom of the placement tray 202 and the pallet 203 can limit the placement tray 202 and the pallet 203 to prevent them from falling off the rotating ring 201.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 As shown, an adjustment structure 4 is provided on the sliding structure 2. The adjustment structure 4 specifically includes a moving block 401. The moving blocks 401 are fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal plate 205, and the moving blocks 401 and the tray 203 are slidably connected. A protrusion 402 is fixedly connected to the moving block 401, and multiple grooves 403 are fixedly connected in a linear distribution on the tray 203. The protrusions 402 and the grooves 403 engage. This facilitates adjusting the height of the horizontal plate 205 according to the height of the container when fixing test tubes or other containers. In this embodiment, when the container is placed on the horizontal plate 205 on the tray 203, the horizontal plate 205 can be slid according to the height of the container, so that the protrusions 402 on the moving blocks 401 on both sides of the horizontal plate 205 engage with different grooves 403, thereby adjusting the height of the horizontal plate 205, better limiting the container, and preventing the container from tipping over and spilling material during the feeding process.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a squeezing structure 5 is provided on the sliding structure 2. The squeezing structure 5 specifically includes a squeezing block 501, which is slidably connected inside the rotating ring 201. A squeezing rod 502 is fixedly connected to the squeezing block 501, and a spring is fixedly connected between the squeezing rod 502 and the rotating ring 201. A pressing block 503 is slidably connected to the rotating ring 201, and a spring is fixedly connected between the pressing block 503 and the rotating ring 201. An abutting block 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the pressing block 503. The abutting block 504 has an arc-shaped cross-section and abuts against the squeezing rod 502. This slows down the sliding speed of the liquid and prevents splashing when the material is liquid. A limiting structure 6 is provided on the sliding structure 2. The limiting structure 6 specifically includes a stop block 601, which is slidably connected to the rotating ring 201, and a spring is fixedly connected between the stop block 601 and the rotating ring 201. A guide rod 602 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 201. The guide rod 602 and the stop block 601 are slidably connected, so that the sliding is always slowed down.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the material placed in the transition chamber body 1 is liquid, in order to prevent the placement tray 202 or pallet 203 from sliding too fast and causing liquid to splash out, the pressing block 503 on the rotating ring 201 can be pressed, so that the pressing block 503 squeezes the spring and drives the abutment block 504 to move down, so that the abutment block 504 and the squeezing rod 502 abut, and the squeezing rod 502 drives the squeezing block 501 to stretch the spring until the squeezing block and the limiting block 207 on the placement tray 202 or pallet 203 abut, increasing the resistance to the movement of the limiting block 207 and slowing down the speed of material transportation. When the pressing block 503 moves down to the point where it no longer abuts against the stop block 601 on the rotating ring 201, the spring between the stop block 601 and the rotating ring 201 allows the stop block 601 to move outward along the guide rod 602, so that the stop block 601 is above the pressing block 503. The bottom end of the stop block 601 abuts against the top end of the pressing block 503, limiting the pressing block 503. This causes the abutting block 504 on the pressing block 503 to press against the pressing rod 502, continuously applying resistance to the sliding of the limiting block 207. After the liquid material has been transported, to restore the normal sliding state, the stop block 601 can be pushed, causing the stop block 601 to compress the spring and slide into the rotating ring 201. At this time, the spring between the pressing block 503 and the rotating ring 201 can reset the pressing block 503 and make the side end of the pressing block 503 abut against the side end of the stop block 601, preventing the stop block 601 from moving outward. At the same time, the pressing block 503 drives the abutting block 504 to move upward. The spring between the squeezing block 501 and the rotating ring 201 can reset the squeezing block 501 and the squeezing rod 502, so that the squeezing block 501 no longer abuts against the limiting block 207 and no longer increases the sliding resistance of the limiting block 207.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a heating structure 7 is installed on the sliding structure 2. The heating structure 7 specifically includes a fixed base 701, which is fixedly connected inside the rotating ring 201. A heating rod 702 is detachably connected to the fixed base 701. A heat dissipation plate 703 is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 201, and the heat dissipation plate 703 has multiple heat dissipation holes 704. A fixed plate 705 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 201. A rotating shaft 706 is rotatably connected to one end of the heat dissipation plate 703. A clamping block 707 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 706. The clamping block 707 abuts against the fixed plate 705, and the material in the transition chamber body 1 is heated by the heating rod 702. When materials are transported via the placement tray 202 or pallet 203, the heat dissipation plate 703 corresponding to the placement tray 202 or pallet 203 can be operated. Specifically, the rotating shaft 706 at one end of the heat dissipation plate 703 corresponding to the placement tray 202 or pallet 203 can be rotated, causing the rotating shaft 706 to drive the clamping blocks 707 at both ends to rotate, so that the two clamping blocks 707 are perpendicular to the heat dissipation plate 703 and no longer in contact with the fixing plate 705. Then, the heat dissipation plate 703 can be rotated to open it, and the heating rod 702 can be fixed in place. Inside seat 701, the heat sink 703 is then closed, and the rotating shaft 706 on the heat sink 703 is rotated so that the clamping blocks 707 at both ends of the rotating shaft 706 are locked at the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 705, thus fixing the heat sink 703. Then the chamber door is closed, and current is supplied to the heating rod 702 inside the fixed seat 701 from the outside to make the heating rod 702 heat up. The heat generated by the heating rod 702 can escape outward through the heat dissipation holes 704 on the heat sink 703 to heat the material inside the transition chamber body 1.
