DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] This embodiment provides a pneumatic conveying system multi-sample injector, such as Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 The multi-sample injector comprises a placing plate 1, a sample storage mechanism 2, a sample storage box 3, a telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 and a telescopic sealing mechanism 5.

[0046] The opening end of the sample storage mechanism 2 faces downward, and the placement plate 1 is used to place the sample box 11 taken out of the sample storage mechanism 2 .

[0047] The sample storage mechanism 2 stores a plurality of sample boxes 11 , and releases one sample box 11 to the placement plate 1 each time.

[0048] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the multi-sample injector shown, the sample storage mechanism 2 is located above the placement plate 1 , and the sample box 11 comes out of the sample discharge mechanism under the action of gravity and falls on the placement plate 1 .

[0049] Of course, the relative position of the sample storage mechanism 2 and the placement plate 1 is not necessarily Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure shown is a limitation, and the sample storage mechanism 2 can also be located at other positions of the placement plate 1.

[0050] The storage space of the sample storage mechanism 2 can store multiple sample boxes 11, so that the operator can put multiple sample boxes 11 that need to be irradiated into the storage space at one time, and there is no need to place a sample box 11 into the sampler every time irradiation is performed, which saves the operator's manpower.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the sample storage box 3 is connected to one side of the placement plate 1, so that the sample box 11 moving on the placement plate 1 can enter the sample storage box 3; and the sample storage box 3 is provided with a placement slot 301 connected to the conveying pipe 10, and the sample box 11 entering the placement slot 301 can enter the conveying pipe 10 under the action of the airflow of the conveying pipe 10.

[0052] like Figure 4 The placement slot 301 shown opens upward, and the sample box 11 located on the placement plate 1 can fall downward into the placement slot 301 after entering the sample storage box 3 under the push of the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4. The opening direction of the placement slot 301 is not Figure 3 The structure shown is a limitation, and other directions are also possible. For example, the opening of the placement slot 301 faces the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4, and the sample box 11 is directly pushed into the placement slot 301 by the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The working end of the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 extends into the sample storage mechanism 2 , and can push the sample box 11 located on the placement plate 1 into the placement slot 301 .

[0054] When irradiation is required, the working end of the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 moves toward the location of the sample storage box 3, pushing the sample box 11 that comes out of the sample storage mechanism 2 and is located on the placement plate 1, so that the sample box 11 moves on the placement plate 1 and finally enters the placement slot 301 in the sample storage box 3. After the sample pushing work is completed, the working end of the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 retracts.

[0055] The working end of the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 can close and open the opening of the placement groove 301 .

[0056] When the sample box 11 needs to be pushed into the placement slot 301, the opening of the placement slot 301 is in an open state. After the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 pushes the sample box 11 into the placement slot 301, the working end of the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 moves toward the location of the placement slot 301 until the opening of the placement slot 301 is closed to prevent airflow from flowing out of the opening of the placement slot 301, so that the sample box 11 can move normally in the conveying pipe 10. When one of the sample boxes 11 is transported, the working end of the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 moves away from the placement slot 301, and the opening of the placement slot 301 is opened, so that the next sample box 11 can smoothly enter the placement slot 301.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 , the opening of the placement slot 301 is upward, and the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 is located above the placement slot 301; the working end of the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 can move up and down. Of course, the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 can also be located in other positions of the placement slot 301; for example, Figure 3 In the orientation shown, the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 can also be located on the right side of the placement slot 301 , and the working end of the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 can move in the left and right directions to close or open the opening of the placement slot 301 .

[0058] When the multi-sample injector provided in this embodiment is working, first the sample discharging mechanism releases a sample box 11 on the placement plate 1, then the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 pushes the sample box 11 on the placement plate 1 into the placement slot 301 of the sample storage box 3, and finally the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 seals the opening of the placement slot 301, and an airflow thrust is generated in the delivery pipe 10 to push the sample box 11 into the reactor for irradiation; when the next irradiation is performed, the above working process is repeated. Therefore, the multi-sample injector can allow the operator to place multiple sample boxes 11 at a time, and can automatically place one sample box 11 into the delivery pipe 10 each time, without having to place a sample box 11 each time for irradiation, thereby improving the automation and efficiency of sample placement.

[0059] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6The telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 includes a first telescopic member 401 and a sample pushing member 402. One end of the sample pushing member 402 is connected to the working end of the first telescopic member 401, and the other end of the sample pushing member 402 is located between the placement plate 1 and the sample storage mechanism 2, and the sample pushing member 402 can move toward or away from the placement slot 301 under the drive of the first telescopic member 401.

[0060] The first telescopic member 401 can be an electric push rod, which can be telescopic in its own length direction. Of course, the first telescopic rod can also be other structural forms such as a hydraulic cylinder, a cylinder, etc.

[0061] like Figure 6 The working end of the first telescopic member 401 is connected to the sample pusher 402 via a pin. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the working end of the first telescopic member 401 is welded to the sample pusher 402.

[0062] When the sample box 11 on the placement plate 1 needs to be pushed into the placement slot 301, the first telescopic member 401 is extended, and the working end of the first telescopic member 401 drives the sample pusher 402 to move from the initial position toward the placement slot 301, thereby pushing the sample box 11 into the placement slot 301. After the sample box 11 is pushed into the placement slot 301, the first telescopic member 401 is shortened, and the working end of the first telescopic member 401 drives the sample pusher 402 to move away from the placement slot 301, until the sample pusher 402 returns to the initial position of pushing the sample box 11.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 6 The sample pusher 402 is provided with a receiving hole 403 for the sample box 11 to enter. When the sample storage mechanism 2 releases a sample box 11, the sample box 11 enters the receiving hole 403, and the inner wall of the receiving hole 403 can limit the movement of the sample box 11, preventing the sample box 11 from the sample storage mechanism 2 from moving freely on the placement plate 1.

[0064] By setting the relative distance between the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 and the sample storage mechanism 2, and the telescopic distance of the first telescopic member 401, when the first telescopic member 401 is shortened and drives the sample pushing member 402 back to the initial position, the accommodating through hole 403 can be aligned with the position where the sample storage mechanism 2 releases the sample box 11; and when the first telescopic member 401 is extended and drives the sample pushing member 402 to extend a preset distance, the accommodating through hole 403 can be aligned with the opening of the placement groove 301.

[0065] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application further includes a bottom plate 6 and a first bracket 7, the first bracket 7 is disposed on the bottom plate 6, and the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 is connected to the first bracket 7. When the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 is of the above structure, the end of the first telescopic member 401 away from the sample pushing member 402 is connected to the first bracket 7.

[0066] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 7 The telescopic sealing mechanism 5 includes a second telescopic member 501 and a pressure cover 502. The pressure cover 502 is connected to the working end of the second telescopic member 501, and the pressure cover 502 moves toward or away from the placement groove 301 under the drive of the second telescopic member 501.

[0067] The second telescopic member 501 can be an electric push rod, which can be telescopic in its own length direction. Of course, the second telescopic rod can also be other structural forms such as a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0068] like Figure 7 The working end of the second telescopic member 501 is connected to the gland 502 via a pin. Of course, in other embodiments, the working end of the second telescopic member 501 is welded to the gland 502.

[0069] When the sample pusher 402 pushes the sample box 11 into the placement hole, the second telescopic member 501 extends, and the working end of the telescopic member drives the pressure cover 502 to move in a direction close to the opening of the placement slot 301, until the pressure cover 502 closes the opening of the placement slot 301, so that the placement slot 301 is isolated from the outside. After the sample box 11 is transported to the reactor by the airflow in the transport pipeline 10, the second telescopic member 501 shortens, and the working end of the telescopic member drives the pressure cover 502 to move in a direction away from the opening of the placement slot 301, so that the opening of the placement slot 301 is opened, so as to allow the telescopic sample pusher mechanism 4 to push the next sample box 11 into the placement slot 301.

[0070] Figure 7 Detailed structure of the gland 502. The gland 502 includes a baffle 5021, a sealing block 5022 and a gasket 5023. The baffle 5021 is connected to the working end of the second telescopic member 501. The sealing block 5022 is arranged on the bottom surface of the baffle 5021, and is used to extend into the placement groove 301 and fit the inner wall of the placement groove 301. The gasket 5023 is arranged on the bottom surface of the baffle 5021 and surrounds the sealing block 5022.

[0071] The sealing block 5022 is integrally connected to the baffle 5021, and the top surface of the gasket 5023 is bonded to the bottom surface of the baffle 5021. Of course, the sealing block 5022 and the baffle 5021 can also be connected by welding, and the gasket 5023 can also be connected to the bottom surface of the baffle 5021 by screws.

[0072] When the gland 502 closes the opening of the placement groove 301, the outer side of the sealing block 5022 fits the inner wall of the placement groove 301, and the baffle 5021 presses the gasket 5023 against the edge of the placement groove 301. The gland 502 works together with the gasket 5023 and the sealing block 5022 to isolate the placement groove 301 from the outside, thereby preventing airflow leakage in the delivery pipeline 10.

[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 7 The bottom surface of the placement groove 301 and the bottom surface of the sealing block 5022 are both set as arc surfaces, forming an inner wall surface adapted to the sample box 11. Specifically, the inner wall surrounded by the bottom surface of the placement groove 301 and the bottom surface of the sealing block 5022 is a cylindrical surface. Figure 5 The outer side surface of the sample box 11 shown is fitted together, which avoids excessive airflow between the sample box 11 and the bottom surface of the sealing block 5022 and between the sample box 11 and the bottom surface of the placement groove 301, thereby affecting the transportation of the sample box 11, and ensures that the airflow in the transportation pipeline 10 can push the sample box 11 in the placement groove 301.

[0074] It should be noted that the specific structure of the pressure cover 502 is not limited to the above, and in other embodiments of the present application, the pressure cover 502 can also have other structures.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sample storage mechanism 2 is disposed above the placement plate 1 , and the sample box 11 released from the sample storage mechanism 2 falls on the upper surface of the placement plate 1 .

[0076] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the sample storage mechanism 2 includes a sample storage cylinder 201, a slide rail 202 and a slide cover 203. The sample storage cylinder 201 is located above the placement plate 1, and a plurality of sample boxes 11 can be arranged in the sample storage cylinder 201. The slide rail 202 is arranged at the top of the sample storage cylinder 201 in a horizontal direction; the slide cover 203 is slidably connected to the slide rail 202.

[0077] Both ends of the sample storage cylinder 201 have openings. The opening at the top of the sample storage cylinder 201 is used to place the sample box 11, and the opening at the bottom of the sample storage cylinder 201 is used for the sample box 11 to fall.

[0078] The slide rail 202 is connected to the top of the sample storage tube 201 by screws. The slide rail 202 can also be welded to the top of the sample storage tube 201.

[0079] When it is necessary to place a sample box 11 in the sample storage mechanism 2, the slide cover 203 is slid along the slide rail 202 to keep the slide cover 203 away from the opening at the top of the sample storage cylinder 201. After the opening at the top of the sample storage cylinder 201 is opened, the operator places multiple sample boxes 11 in the sample storage cylinder 201 in sequence according to a pre-set irradiation sequence. The multiple sample boxes 11 in the sample storage cylinder 201 are arranged in the height direction, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The sample storage mechanism 2 further comprises a door 204, and the sample storage cylinder 201 is provided with an outlet toward the first telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4. The door 204 is hinged to the sample storage cylinder 201, and the door 204 can cover the outlet.

[0081] A hinge is provided beside the outlet of the sample storage cylinder 201, and the door 204 is connected to the hinge, so that the door 204 can be rotated around the hinge to open and close; when the door 204 is closed, the outlet is covered. When the sample box 11 placed in the sample storage cylinder 201 needs to be observed, the door 204 can be opened for observation.

[0082] In this embodiment, the sample storage box 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 305 and a second mounting hole 3046 which are connected to the placement slot 301, and the first mounting hole 305 and the second mounting hole 3046 are coaxially arranged. The multi-sample injector further includes two opposing beam sensors 9; the two opposing beam sensors 9 are respectively installed in the first mounting hole 305 and the second mounting hole 3046 to detect the sample box 11 in the placement slot 301.

[0083] When the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 pushes the sample box 11 into the placement slot 301 , the two opposing sensors 9 installed in the first mounting hole 305 and the second mounting hole 3046 can detect the sample box 11 in the placement slot 301 , and then control the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 to close the opening of the placement slot 301 .

[0084] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The sample storage box 3 includes a shell a302 and a shell b303. The shell a302 is connected to the shell b303, the placement plate 1 is connected to the shell b303, and the top surface of the placement plate 1 is flush with the top surface of the shell b303. The side of the shell a302 facing the sample storage mechanism 2 is provided with a sample pushing channel, and the sample pushing channel is used for the working end of the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 and the sample box 11 to pass through. Among them, the placement groove 301 is arranged in the shell b303, and the opening of the placement groove 301 faces upward, and the telescopic sealing mechanism 5 is located above the placement groove 301; the first mounting hole 305 and the second mounting hole 3046 are also arranged in the shell b303.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the sample storage box 3 further includes an observation window 304, which is disposed on the housing a302. The operator can observe through the observation window 304 whether the telescopic sample pushing mechanism 4 pushes the sample box 11 into the placement slot 301.
