Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic liquid collection, and more specifically, to a contactless liquid collection device and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] In the current rapidly developing biomedical and chemical pharmaceutical industries, the treatment of hazardous chemical media and toxic wastewater has always been a critical and challenging link. A common situation faced by these industries is that a large amount of liquid sampling and processing relies on pure manual operations, which is not only inefficient, but also fraught with multiple risks and uncertainties.

[0003] In a well-equipped laboratory or a complex field environment, operators wear heavy protective clothing, hold test tubes, liquid guns and other simple tools, and carefully carry out each liquid collection operation. Such scenes seem ordinary, but they are actually hidden dangers. First of all, the sampled liquid often contains volatile components, which are very easy to escape into the air during the operation, forming an imperceptible source of pollution, which not only threatens the health of the operators, but also causes considerable air pollution to the surrounding environment. According to relevant statistics, there are many air pollution incidents caused by the volatilization of chemical liquids every year, and their long-term effects are far-reaching and complex. Furthermore, the accuracy of manual liquid collection is often difficult to guarantee. Even experienced operators can hardly avoid errors under stress or fatigue. This inaccurate amount of liquid collection will not only affect the subsequent experimental results, but may also mislead the entire research or production process, causing immeasurable losses. Therefore, improving the accuracy of liquid collection and realizing automated and intelligent liquid collection operations have become the focus of common concern within and outside the industry. In addition, in scenarios involving pipeline cleaning or pressure operation, manual liquid extraction poses a direct threat to operators. Dangerous factors such as high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive media constantly test the professional skills and psychological quality of operators. Once the operation is improper, the consequences will be disastrous. In recent years, safety accidents caused by human errors have occurred frequently, causing heavy economic losses.

[0004] What is more serious is that when oxygen in the air comes into contact with certain sampled liquids, an oxidation reaction easily occurs, causing the composition of the sampled solution to change, which in turn affects the accuracy of the test results. This error caused by environmental factors is often difficult to detect, but may have a profound impact on the entire research or production process. Therefore, taking effective isolation and protection measures during the liquid sampling process is an important prerequisite for ensuring the accuracy of the test results. Summary of the invention

[0050] A contactless liquid taking device of the present invention is explained and illustrated in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0051] like Figure 1-4As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a contactless liquid taking device, comprising a cylindrical box body 1 with front and rear openings, a front door body 11 connected to the front opening of the box body 1, a rear door body 12 connected to the rear opening of the box body 1, a partition 13 is provided in the middle of the box body 1, an electrical compartment is formed between the front door body 11 and the partition 13, and an air circuit compartment is formed between the rear door body 12 and the partition 13, a PLC automatic control device is installed in the electrical compartment, an air supply device 3 and a peristaltic pump 7 are installed in the air circuit compartment, and the control board 701 of the air supply device 3 and the peristaltic pump 7 are both electrically connected to the PLC automatic control device, and the pump head of the peristaltic pump 7 is arranged on the box body 1 of the air circuit compartment, and a liquid taking bottle clamping platform 6 and a liquid taking tube bracket 5 are arranged on the box body 1 on the same side of the pump head, and the liquid taking tube bracket 5 is located above the liquid taking bottle clamping platform 6. The liquid taking bottle clamping platform 6 can firmly fix the liquid taking bottle 200 to prevent it from shaking or tipping over during the liquid taking process. The liquid collection tube support 5 is located above the liquid collection bottle clamping platform 6, which is responsible for supporting and guiding the liquid collection tube to be accurately inserted into the liquid collection bottle 200. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of liquid collection, but also greatly simplifies the user's operation process. The PLC automatic control device accurately controls the air supply device 3 and the peristaltic pump 7. When the PLC automatic control device receives the liquid collection instruction, the PLC automatic control device will immediately start the air supply device 3 to provide a stable air source for the peristaltic pump 7; then, the peristaltic pump 7 starts working under the drive of the PLC automatic control device, and its pump head accurately absorbs the liquid in the solution storage tank to be collected, and transports the liquid to the liquid collection bottle 200 through the liquid collection tube. Contactless liquid collection is achieved, effectively avoiding the risks of pipeline cleaning and pressure operation in traditional liquid collection methods. The peristaltic pump 7 can provide a precise control resolution of 0.1 ml for liquid collection, so that the user can more accurately control the amount of liquid collection when performing micro-liquid collection, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the experiment. The contactless liquid collection device uses a PLC automatic control device for full automatic control, which greatly simplifies the on-site operation process. Users can achieve automatic control of the entire liquid collection process through simple operations, without the need for tedious manual operations. This feature not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity of operators. The device has the advantages of compact structure, easy disassembly and assembly, and easy maintenance, so it is suitable for liquid collection needs in various complex environments. Whether it is a laboratory, a factory production line, or a hospital pharmacy, the contactless liquid collection device can give full play to its unique advantages and bring users a more convenient, efficient, and safe liquid collection experience. It has demonstrated excellent performance in improving work efficiency and ensuring operational safety.

[0052] like Figure 3 Combined with Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the gas supply device 3 includes a gas tank 301, a pressure reducing valve 302, a gas supply solenoid valve 303, a gas supply stop valve 304 and a gas supply pipe joint 305. The gas tank 301 is filled with high-pressure inert gas (such as nitrogen, argon, etc.), which is not easy to react with other substances due to its stable chemical properties. The gas tank 301 ensures that the gas can be released quickly and stably when needed. The pressure reducing valve 302 is located between the gas tank 301 and the gas supply solenoid valve 303, and its main function is to adjust the high-pressure gas in the gas tank 301 to the low-pressure range required by the equipment. The electromagnetic coil of the gas supply solenoid valve 303 is electrically connected to the PLC automatic control device, and the opening and closing state of the electromagnetic valve is controlled by receiving the control signal sent by the PLC. When the PLC detects a signal that gas supply is required, it will send an opening instruction to the gas supply solenoid valve 303, and the electromagnetic coil will be energized to drive the valve core to move, so that the solenoid valve opens. On the contrary, when the gas supply task is completed, the PLC will send a closing command, the solenoid valve will close, and the gas source will be cut off. The rapid response and precise control of the gas supply solenoid valve 303 provide strong support for the automation and intelligence of the gas supply system. The gas supply stop valve 304 is connected to the gas supply solenoid valve 303 and is used to manually control the on and off of the gas supply. The gas supply pipe joint 305 is connected to the gas supply stop valve 304 and can be quickly connected to the gas supply pipe. When gas supply is required, first, open the gas supply stop valve 304 to provide a passage for the gas supply system; then, the PLC automatic control device issues a command to energize the electromagnetic coil of the gas supply solenoid valve 303 and open the solenoid valve; at this time, the pressurized inert gas in the gas storage tank 301 is regulated by the pressure reducing valve 302, flows through the gas supply solenoid valve 303 and the gas supply stop valve 304, and finally passes through the gas supply pipe joint 305. In this process, the PLC automatic control device accurately controls the opening time of the gas supply solenoid valve 303 to ensure accurate control of the gas supply amount. The air supply device 3 cooperates with the peristaltic pump 7 to provide a continuous and stable air source, so that the peristaltic pump 7 can perform the liquid extraction operation according to the preset rate and rhythm. This not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of liquid extraction, but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0053] like Figure 5 Combined with Fig. 9As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a pressure transmitter 306 is installed between the gas tank 301 and the pressure reducing valve 302, and the output interface of the pressure transmitter 306 is electrically connected to the PLC automatic control device. When the pressure in the gas tank 301 gradually decreases to a preset threshold due to consumption, the pressure transmitter 306 will quickly capture this change and transmit the signal to the PLC, which will be displayed on the touch screen 402. Remind to add compressed air to the gas tank 301 to ensure that the pressure in the gas tank 301 is always maintained within a safe and efficient range. A gas flow meter 307 is installed between the pressure reducing valve 302 and the gas supply solenoid valve 303, and the output interface of the gas flow meter 307 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 401. Through the gas flow meter 307, the gas supply flow rate at each moment can be clearly understood, and then a close connection is established with the liquid extraction amount. In scenarios such as liquid distribution and chemical reactions where precise control of the amount of liquid taken is required, the gas flow meter 307 can dynamically adjust the liquid taking speed according to changes in the gas supply flow rate to ensure the stability and reliability of the liquid taking accuracy.

When gas supply is needed, the gas supply stop valve 308 is first opened, and then the electromagnetic coil of the gas supply solenoid valve 309 is controlled by the PLC automatic control device to be energized, so that the gas supply solenoid valve 309 is opened, and gas can be supplied to the gas storage tank 301. When the pressure in the gas storage tank 301 reaches a preset value, the PLC automatic control device controls the electromagnetic coil of the gas replenishment solenoid valve 309 to lose power, so that the gas replenishment solenoid valve 309 is closed, and finally the gas replenishment stop valve 308 is manually closed to complete the gas replenishment operation.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for using a contactless liquid collection device, comprising the following steps:
