Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of temperature chambers, and in particular to a column temperature chamber capable of independently taking in and placing a single set of chromatographic columns. Background Art

[0002] At present, the column oven of the chromatographic column is an important device for accurately controlling the temperature of the chromatographic column in chromatographic analysis. It usually consists of a box with good thermal insulation performance, a temperature control system and a heating / cooling element. The main function of the column oven is to provide a stable and controllable temperature environment for the chromatographic column. By accurately adjusting the temperature, the chromatographic separation effect can be improved, the symmetry and resolution of the peak shape can be improved, and the tailing phenomenon of the chromatographic peak can be reduced. Different samples and analysis methods may require different column temperature conditions. The column oven can meet these diverse needs. Through searching, a liquid chromatography column temperature box with Chinese patent announcement number CN213337496U is found, which includes a box body, a box door, and a heat conducting plate. At least one chromatography column groove is provided on the front of the heat conducting plate; a wire entry hole and a wire outlet hole are provided at both ends of the chromatography column groove respectively; a plurality of pipeline grooves and temperature sensor grooves are provided on the back of the heat conducting plate; and the back of the heat conducting plate is in contact with the heating element.

[0003] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors found the following defects: However, the above-mentioned chromatographic column oven still has some significant shortcomings. When the chromatographic column needs to be taken out, the oven cover is directly opened, and all the chromatographic columns are completely exposed to the external environment. This situation can easily lead to temperature imbalance of the remaining chromatographic columns, which in turn has an adverse effect on the solution separation effect. It should be noted that the temperature stability of the chromatographic column is crucial to the accuracy and effectiveness of solution separation. A slight change in temperature may cause a deviation in the separation effect. In addition, the heating method through the heat conduction plate still has the problem of uneven heating, which means that different parts of the chromatographic column may be heated to different degrees, thereby affecting the overall temperature consistency, and then interfering with the accuracy and repeatability of the separation process. For example, in some experiments that are extremely sensitive to temperature, uneven heating may cause the local temperature of the chromatographic column to be too high or too low, resulting in incomplete separation of the target substance or the appearance of impurity peaks, which seriously affects the reliability and scientificity of the experimental results. In summary, these defects limit the performance and application effect of the chromatographic column oven to a certain extent. Therefore, we propose a new type of chromatographic column oven to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0015] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the chromatographic column needs to be taken out, the second motor is started to drive the movable ring to rotate at the bottom of the box, thereby assisting in adjusting the linear displacement mechanism at the top to cyclically move to the column taking port. When the required chromatographic column arrives at the column taking port, the third motor is started to drive the screw to rotate, causing the slide to slide on the top of the base, and accurately moving the chromatographic columns in each clamping mechanism to the column taking port. The linear displacement mechanism can not only adjust the movement of the chromatographic column to the taking port, but also can change its position during the movement process with the help of the rotation of the movable ring. In addition, the encoder can accurately control the number of rotations of the output shafts of the first, second, and third motors, so that each chromatographic column can be accurately aligned with the column taking port. All chromatographic columns can be taken and placed through only one column taking port, which greatly improves the convenience of the device, effectively prevents the temperature imbalance of the chromatographic column, and significantly improves the accuracy of the detection; 2. Add water to the inside of the box and start the electric heating wire to heat the water. The heated water can preheat the chromatographic column and make it heat up quickly and evenly. Hot water can not only help to quickly and stably increase the temperature, but also has excellent uniform insulation performance, effectively avoiding temperature imbalance in the chromatographic column. When taking out the column, twist open the sealing cover to open the column taking port. Through the coordinated cooperation of the rotating mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the linear displacement mechanism, the chromatographic column can be smoothly removed from the inside of the column taking port, which significantly improves the convenience of the device during use. After use, loosen the hand-tightening bolt to remove it from the limit hole, then open the sealing cover of the sealing box cover and the sealing cover of the drain pipe to drain the water. At the same time, the inside of the box can also be opened for easy inspection and maintenance. 3. By placing the chromatographic column between the inner sides of the clamping plates, due to the presence of the elastic seat, the limit spring inside the mounting frame provides elastic force, so that the clamping plate is resisted and moves inward, so that the chromatographic column can be stably clamped and positioned. With the setting of this clamping mechanism, multiple chromatographic columns can be stably installed inside the box. When the chromatographic column needs to be taken out, the chromatographic column is moved to the column taking port through the coordinated cooperation of the linear displacement mechanism and the rotation mechanism. At this time, the first motor is started. Since the inner side of the ball fits the chromatographic column, the inner side of the driving wheel also fits the outer surface of the chromatographic column. The first motor drives the driving wheel at the upper end to rotate. Under the extrusion drive of the driving wheel on the chromatographic column, the friction force on the outer surface of the chromatographic column is reduced by the rolling of the driving wheel and the ball, so that the chromatographic column can be quickly and stably moved out from the column taking port, so that the chromatographic column can be taken out from the inside of the box without opening the sealed box cover, which greatly improves the overall convenience of the device.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 4The rotating mechanism 8 includes a second motor 81, which is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the box body 3. The output end of the second motor 81 passes through the box body 3 and is fixedly installed with a movable ring 82. The movable ring 82 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body 3. The linear displacement mechanism 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the movable ring 82 at equal intervals. The top of the movable ring 82 is located at the gap between each linear displacement mechanism 9 and is fixedly installed with a heating wire 83. The heating wire 83 is arranged in a spiral shape. The bottom of the movable ring 82 is fixedly installed with a fixed block 84 at equal intervals. The bottom of the fixed block 84 is rotatably connected with a universal ball 85. The bottom of the universal ball 85 is fitted and connected to the bottom of the box body 3.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 7The linear displacement mechanism 9 includes a base 91, which is arranged in a ring at equal intervals and fixedly installed on the top of the movable ring 82. A third motor 92 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the base 91. The output end of the third motor 92 passes through the base 91 and is fixedly installed with a screw rod 93. The screw rod 93 is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 91. A slide 94 is slidably connected to the top of the base 91. The slide 94 and the screw rod 93 are threadedly connected. The fixed seat 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide 94 at equal intervals. The overall cross-sectional shape of the lower end of the slide 94 is convex, and the overall cross-sectional shape of the lower end of the base 91 is also convex. The shaft ends of the first motor 1033, the second motor 81 and the third motor 92 are all equipped with encoders. The base 91 is arranged in a ring at equal intervals and fixed on the top of the movable ring 82. The structure is reasonable and stable. The third motor 92 at the inner end of the base 91 can provide precise rotational power for the screw rod 93. The rotation of the screw rod 93 drives the slide 94 threadedly connected thereto to slide on the top of the base 91, thereby realizing precise linear displacement control. The convex cross-section design of the lower end of the slide 94 and the lower end of the inner part of the base 91 enhances the stability and guidance of the sliding connection and prevents the slide 94 from offsetting or shaking during movement. The fixed seat 101 is fixed at equal intervals on the top of the slide 94 to ensure the accurate position of the clamped chromatographic column. In addition, the encoders installed on the shaft ends of the first motor 1033, the second motor 81 and the third motor 92 can accurately measure and control the rotation of the motors, further improving the precision and accuracy of the linear displacement and meeting the demand for precise adjustment of the position of the chromatographic column.

[0025] The implementation principle of a column temperature oven capable of independently taking in and placing a single set of chromatographic columns in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during the use of the device, when the chromatographic column needs to be taken out, the second motor 81 can be started to drive the movable ring 82 to rotate at the bottom of the box body 3, and the movable ring 82 can be rotated inside the box body 3 to assist in adjusting and drive the linear displacement mechanism 9 on its top to cyclically move to the column taking port 6. When the chromatographic column to be taken out moves to the column taking port 6, the third motor 92 can be started to operate. Once the third motor 92 is running, the screw rod 93 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 93 will drive the slide 94 to slide on the top of the base 91. Through the linear sliding of the slide 94, the chromatographic columns inside each clamping mechanism 10 can be moved to the column taking port 6. Since the linear displacement mechanism 9 can adjust the movement of the chromatographic column to make it reach the taking port, and during its movement, The second motor 81 can also be used to drive the movable ring 82 to rotate. By rotating the movable ring 82, the position of each linear displacement mechanism 9 can be replaced. It can be seen that during use, the device can first clamp and position the chromatographic column through each clamping mechanism 10, and when the chromatographic column needs to be taken and placed, the linear displacement mechanism 9 and the rotating mechanism 8 can be used to flexibly adjust each chromatographic column to move to the column taking port 6. In addition, the setting of the encoder can accurately control the number of rotations of the output shafts of the first motor 1033, the second motor 81 and the third motor 92, so that the device can extremely accurately adjust each chromatographic column to align with the column taking port 6. Obviously, the device only needs to use one column taking port 6 to assist in taking and placing all chromatographic columns, which can greatly improve the overall convenience of the device, effectively avoid the temperature imbalance of the chromatographic column, and thus significantly improve the accuracy of the detection; By cleverly arranging the housing 3, water can be added to the interior of the housing 3 during use, and by starting the operation of the electric heating wire 83, the water inside the housing 3 can be heated. After the water is heated, the chromatographic column can be preheated, which can prompt the chromatographic column to heat up quickly and evenly. In addition, the hot water can not only assist in quickly and stably raising the temperature, but also has a fairly uniform heat preservation performance, which can effectively avoid the temperature imbalance of the chromatographic column. At the same time, when taking out the column, the sealing cover 7 can be twisted open to open the column taking port 6. Through the coordinated cooperation of the rotating mechanism 8, the clamping mechanism 10 and the linear displacement mechanism 9, the chromatographic column can be removed from the interior of the column taking port 6, which can significantly improve the convenience of the overall device during use. After use, loosen the hand-tightening bolt to move it out of the limiting hole 15, and then open the sealing cover 5 and the sealing cover 7 of the drain pipe 12 to discharge the water. At the same time, the interior of the housing 3 can also be opened for convenient inspection and maintenance. By setting the clamping mechanism 10, the chromatographic column can be placed between the inner sides of the clamping plate 104 during use of the device. In view of the setting of the elastic seat 102, the limit spring 1022 inside the mounting frame 1021 provides elastic force, and the limit spring 1022 resists the clamping plate 104 and moves inward, so that the clamping plate 104 can assist in stably clamping and positioning the chromatographic column. With this setting of the clamping mechanism 10, multiple chromatographic columns can be stably installed in the interior of the casing 3. When the chromatographic column needs to be taken out, the chromatographic column can be moved to the column taking port 6 through the cooperation of the linear displacement mechanism 9 and the rotation mechanism 8. At this time, the first motor 1033 is started to run. During this period, due to the movement of the ball bearing The inner side of 105 is fitted and connected to the chromatographic column, and the inner side of the driving wheel 1032 is also fitted and connected to the outer surface of the chromatographic column. At this time, by starting the first motor 1033, the first motor 1033 can drive the driving wheel 1032 located at the upper end to rotate. Since the inner side of the driving wheel 1032 is fitted and connected to the chromatographic column, as the driving wheel 1032 squeezes and drives the chromatographic column, the chromatographic column can reduce the friction on the outer surface of the chromatographic column through the rolling of the driving wheel 1032 and the ball 105, so that the chromatographic column can be quickly and stably removed from the column removal port 6, so that the device can take out the chromatographic column from the inside of the box body 3 without opening the sealed box cover 5, which can greatly improve the overall ease of use of the device.

[0026] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
