The performance of dosing pumps is crucial to the quality control of the entire production process because it directly affects the consistency and final quality of the product. The dosing pump performance test solutions currently on the market mainly focus on the determination of flow rate and the metering accuracy of the pump.

[0065] The weighing unit X is connected to the second container B2 and is used to measure the weight of the reagent in the second container B2.
[0066] The performance testing device 100 based on the metering pump in the embodiment of the present application can be regarded as a combination of a pneumatic control system and a hydraulic system, which can convert gas pressure into mechanical force and rotational force, and then combined with the hydraulic part formed by the metering pump PDpump to be tested, it mainly realizes the transfer of reagents from the first container B1 to the second container B2 through the gas circuit component 110 and the liquid circuit component 120, and finally completes the measurement of the weight of the reagent in the second container B2, thereby realizing the performance evaluation of the metering pump PD pump to be tested.
[0067] Specifically, in the performance testing device 100 based on the metering pump provided in the embodiment of the present application:
[0068] The air circuit component 110 can be regarded as an air pressure source and is the energy source of the performance testing device 100 based on the quantitative pump. Optionally, the air circuit component 110 in this embodiment includes an air pump Pump, which can be used to extract air or other gases in a closed container to create a vacuum environment inside the container, and can also be used to pressurize gas into the container to increase the pressure inside the container. The air pump Pump type in this embodiment includes any one of a vortex air pump Pump, a centrifugal fan, a screw air pump Pump and a root fan.
[0069] The liquid circuit assembly 120, including liquid circuit pipelines, etc., is mainly used to provide an environment for extracting and discharging reagents for the quantitative pump PD pump to be tested.
[0070] The first air pressure chamber P1 and the second air pressure chamber P2 can be used to store gas to ensure the stability of the gas source. According to actual needs, the first air pressure chamber P1 can be constructed as a negative pressure environment and the second air pressure chamber P2 can be constructed as a positive pressure environment, or the first air pressure chamber P1 can be constructed as a positive pressure environment and the second air pressure chamber P2 can be constructed as a negative pressure environment. In this embodiment, the first air pressure chamber P1 is constructed as a negative pressure environment and the second air pressure chamber P2 is constructed as a positive pressure environment.
[0071] The first container B1 and the second container B2 can be used to store reagents. The first container B1 and the second container B2 can be connected to the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump through a liquid pipeline. The quantitative pump to be tested PD pump can absorb reagents from the first container B1 and discharge them into the second container B2. In some embodiments, the first container B1 and the second container B2 can be selected as containers of the same model and with scales. The first container B1 and the second container B2 can be connected at the liquid pipeline to fill the connection gap with sealing materials such as sealing gaskets or sealants to ensure good sealing at the connection, thereby avoiding the volatilization of reagents affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test of the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump. Among them, the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump can absorb a certain amount of reagent from the first container B1 and discharge it into the second container B2 under the negative pressure provided by the first air pressure chamber P1 for a certain period of time and the positive pressure provided by the second air pressure chamber P2 for a certain period of time.
[0072] The weighing unit X can be used to obtain the weight of the reagent in the second container B2. Before the first discharge, there is no liquid in the second container B2. At this time, the weighing unit X only displays the weight of the second container B2, or the weight of the second container B2 and the tray placed under the second container B2. Each time the reagent is discharged into the second container B2, the weight displayed by the weighing unit X will change. The weight of the reagent discharged into the second container B2 can be obtained based on the weight before and after the change. The weighing unit X includes an analytical balance, which can also be called an analytical electronic balance or an analytical weighing instrument. It has the characteristics of high precision, high sensitivity and high stability, and weighs accurately, which can improve the accuracy and reliability of the performance test of the quantitative pump PD pump to be tested.
[0073] In addition, the device provided in this embodiment can be applied to the performance test of various types of metering pumps. Specifically, the metering pump to be tested PD pump in this embodiment is applicable to any of the dosing metering pumps, semiconductor metering pumps, and FMI metering pumps in the biomedical field. Of course, it can also be applied to other types of metering pumps, which will not be listed one by one here.

One way of the quantitative pump to be tested is connected to the first container and the first air pressure chamber, and is used to draw the reagent from the first container when the first air pressure chamber provides a negative pressure. The other way of the quantitative pump to be tested is connected to the second air pressure chamber and the second container, and is used to discharge the reagent drawn from the first container to the container when the second air pressure chamber provides a positive pressure. The weighing unit is connected to the second container, and is used to measure the weight of the reagent in the second container. The device used is simple in composition and low in cost.

[0075] In a possible implementation, the gas circuit assembly 110 includes a first switch SV1 and a second switch SV2; wherein,
[0076] One path of the air pump Pump is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1 via the first switch SV1, and is used to establish a negative pressure environment of the first air pressure chamber P1 in the first conduction state;
[0077] Another path of the air pump Pump is connected to the second air pressure chamber P2 via the second switch SV2, so as to construct a positive pressure environment of the second air pressure chamber P2 in the second conducting state.
[0078] Specifically, the air pump Pump end connected to the first air pressure chamber P1 via the first switch SV1 is the air suction end of the air pump Pump. In the first conduction state, the air pump Pump is started and the first switch SV1 is opened, and the air pump Pump extracts air or other gas in the first air pressure chamber P1 to create a vacuum environment for the first air pressure chamber P1.

[0083] Specifically, the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump includes an air chamber end, and different conduction states of the third switch SV3 determine whether the air chamber end of the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump is conducted with the first air pressure chamber P1 or the second air pressure chamber P2. In some embodiments, the third switch SV3 is a solenoid valve switch, the common end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the air chamber end of the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump, the normally open end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1, and the normally closed end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the second air pressure chamber P2. The first state indicates that the third switch SV3 is not energized, and the normally open end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1, and the second state indicates that the third switch SV3 is energized, and the normally closed end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1, and the normally open end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the second air pressure chamber P2.
[0084] In a possible implementation, the fluid circuit assembly 120 includes:

[0086] Specifically, the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump includes a liquid chamber end, and different conduction states of the fourth switch SV4 determine whether the liquid chamber end of the quantitative pump to be tested PD pump is conducted with the first container B1 or the second container B2.

[0089] The sixth switch SV6 is connected to the second air pressure chamber P2, and is used to restore the pressure of the second air pressure chamber P2 to an initial state when in a conducting state.
[0090] Specifically, the conduction state in this embodiment means that the fifth switch SV5 is powered on, the sixth switch SV6 is powered on, and the first air pressure chamber P1 and the second air pressure chamber P2 are both restored to the initial state, which is the state before pressure is built up. In some embodiments, the fifth switch SV5 and the sixth switch SV6 are both solenoid valve switches, specifically, the normally closed end of the fifth switch SV5 is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1, and the normally closed end of the sixth switch SV6 is connected to the second air pressure chamber P2.

[0091] It should be noted that, in the process of completing the extraction and discharge of reagents by the metering pump PD pump to be tested and restoring the first air pressure chamber P1 and the second air pressure chamber P2 to their initial states, the power-on duration of the first switch SV1 is the same as the power-on duration of the fifth switch SV5, and the power-on duration of the second switch SV2 is the same as the power-on duration of the sixth switch SV6.

[0092] In some embodiments, the on-off control of each switch in the above embodiments can be controlled manually or by an external controller, and the control method can be selected according to actual needs.
[0093] In some embodiments, the device further includes a first pressure gauge PG1 and a second pressure gauge PG2, wherein the first pressure gauge PG1 is used to monitor the pressure in the first pressure chamber P1, and the second pressure gauge PG2 is used to monitor the pressure in the second pressure chamber PG2.
[0094] In order to explain in detail the specific testing process of the performance testing device 100 based on the metering pump in the above embodiment, an example is given as follows:
[0095] Process 1: The air pump Pump is powered on and runs for 5 seconds, and the first switch SV1 is powered on for 5 seconds, and the pressure of the first air pressure chamber P1 can be built up to -35kpa through the suction end of the air pump Pump. At this time, the states of the third switch SV3 and the fourth switch SV4 are as follows:
[0096] The third switch SV3 is in the first state and is not powered on. The normally open end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the first air pressure chamber P1, and the common end of the third switch SV3 is connected to the air chamber end of the quantitative pump PD pump to be tested. The fourth switch SV4 is in the third state and is not powered on. The normally open end of the fourth switch SV4 is connected to the first container B1, and the common end of the fourth switch SV4 is connected to the liquid chamber end of the quantitative pump PDpump to be tested.
[0097] During this process, the metering pump to be tested PD pump draws the reagent in the first container B1 at a pressure of -35 kPa.
[0098] The second process: the air pump Pump is powered on and runs for 6s, and the second switch SV2 is powered on for 6s. The air outlet of the air pump Pump can build up a pressure of 42kpa for the second air pressure chamber P2. The fourth switch SV4 is powered on and runs for 2s. After the fourth switch SV4 is powered on for 0.1s, the third switch SV3 is powered on and runs for 2s. Referring to the first process, the quantitative pump PD pump to be tested discharges the reagent absorbed from the first container B1 into the second container B2 according to the pressure of 42kpa, and obtains the weighing data of the second container B2.
[0099] The third process: the fifth switch SV5 is powered on for 5s, and the sixth switch SV6 is powered on for 6s to release the pressure in the first pressure chamber P1 and the second pressure chamber P2 to ensure that the pressure of the first pressure chamber P1 is still -35kpa and the pressure of the second pressure chamber P2 is still 42kpa under the same power-on time next time, thereby ensuring that the pressure driving values corresponding to the two pressure build-ups are the same.
[0100] The above three processes constitute one test, and the weight of the reagent in one second container B2 can be obtained. Repeat the above three processes 10 times to obtain the weight of the reagent in 10 second containers B2. The average of the 10 weights can be taken as the weight obtained by the final test. The weight obtained by the final test is then compared with the standard test comparison table to determine the performance test result of the metering pump PDpump to be tested. Specifically, the standard test comparison table includes the standard weight obtained under the same conditions as in the above example for qualified metering pumps.
