Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of peristaltic pumps, and particularly to a peristaltic pump for experimental testing. Background Art

[0002] A peristaltic pump is a special type of pump mainly used for transporting fluids. The peristaltic pump transports fluids by compressing a flexible pipe, which has the characteristic that the fluid is completely isolated from the pump components, avoiding contamination or corrosion, and is suitable for fields such as chemical transportation, pharmaceuticals, food, and water treatment. Peristaltic pumps are mainly used for precise liquid supply. In mass spectrometry, the precise flow rate and stability of liquid samples are crucial. Especially in a liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry system, the peristaltic pump can precisely control the flow of liquid by compressing the flexible pipe to ensure the stable transportation of samples in the mass spectrometer.

[0003] There are many existing types of peristaltic pumps. For example, the patent with the publication number CN118517402B discloses a peristaltic pump with adjustable flow rate. This device adjusts the flow rate of the peristaltic pump by changing the rotational speed of the rotating frame. Among them, when supplying sample liquid to a mass spectrometer, the concentration and viscosity of the pumped liquid will be different. For liquids with different concentrations and viscosities, the common practice is to use thicker and more pressure-resistant pipes, or select pipes that are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. These pipes can ensure the normal operation of the peristaltic pump for a long time and prevent leakage or damage. However, the cost of replacing pipes is relatively high, and choosing the appropriate material requires considering the specific characteristics of the liquid. For example, high-concentration or high-viscosity liquids may require a more robust pipe design;

[0004] In addition, the prior art adjusts the flow rate of transporting liquids with different concentrations and viscosities by adjusting the rotational speed of the pump. However, increasing the rotational speed usually brings a series of adverse effects to the transportation system of high-viscosity and high-concentration liquids. For example, as the rotational speed increases, the frictional force between the liquid and the pipe wall will increase, resulting in increased energy consumption; at the same time, the pressure fluctuation inside the pipe will also intensify, which may cause pipe vibration or damage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a peristaltic pump for experimental testing, which can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that when the liquid viscosity and concentration are too high, the service life of the delivery pipe is reduced due to high-speed extrusion.

[0023] First, when the concentration and viscosity of the liquid increase, the spare extrusion assembly is inserted into the main shaft, and the magnetic repulsion force of the second electromagnet is used to make the distance between the newly inserted extrusion assembly and the original extrusion assembly equal, so as to keep the hose evenly extruded, make the transported liquid stable, avoid the pressure fluctuation caused by the extrusion of the hose, and increasing the number of extrusion assemblies can increase the pushing force on the liquid with higher concentration and viscosity, so that the liquid can pass through the hose more smoothly, reduce the fluctuation of the liquid during the pumping process. By adjusting the number of extrusion assemblies, the extrusion force can be adjusted according to the different concentrations and viscosities of the liquid. Higher-viscosity liquids require greater pushing force. At this time, increasing the number of extrusion assemblies can better push the liquid. Lower-viscosity liquids can appropriately reduce the number of extrusion assemblies, thereby improving efficiency and saving energy.

[0024] Second, the set conductive ring contacts with the elastic electric contact, and the conductive ring supplies power to the elastic electric contact to energize the electromagnetic device to generate a magnetic field. When the concentration and viscosity of the liquid are detected to increase, the voltage of the conductive ring is increased to enhance the magnetic force of the electromagnetic device, so as to increase the hardness of the magnetorheological fluid in the extrusion roller, enabling the extrusion roller to maintain a stable shape under a large pressure and better exert an extrusion and pushing effect on the high-viscosity sample. Increasing the hardness of the extrusion roller can more flexibly respond to the change in liquid viscosity. Especially for high-viscosity liquids, when the liquid viscosity is high, a harder extrusion roller can provide a greater extrusion force to ensure that the liquid can smoothly pass through the hose.

The electromagnetic device is electrically connected to the elastic electric contact 614, and the elastic electric contact 614 is electrically connected to the conductive ring 613. The extrusion roller 803 is made of rubber material. When the magnetorheological fluid presents as a Bingham fluid with high viscosity and low fluidity under the magnetic field of the electromagnetic device, the hardness of the extrusion roller 803 can be increased, which helps to reduce the deformation of the extrusion roller 803, and the hardness of the magnetorheological fluid is proportional to the change in the concentration of the liquid.

[0050] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0051] By turning on the first rotary drive member 301 to drive the short shaft to rotate, thereby driving the main shaft 303 to rotate. The rotating main shaft 303 will drive the extrusion roller 803 to alternately squeeze the hose 2. When the extrusion roller 803 presses the hose 2, the liquid in the hose 2 is pushed forward. As the extrusion roller 803 rotates continuously, the fluid in the hose 2 is gradually extruded and flows out from the water outlet;

[0052] 1. Detecting liquid concentration and viscosity: The light irradiated by the irradiation lamp 602 on the outer wall of the hose 2 will penetrate the liquid flowing in the hose 2 and be received by the light source detection element 604. According to the Lambert-Beer law, when a beam of parallel monochromatic light passes through a homogeneous liquid, the degree of light absorption by the liquid is proportional to the concentration of the light-absorbing substance in the liquid. By detecting the absorbance of the liquid to light of a specific wavelength with the light source detection element 604, the concentration of the substance in the sample is calculated to detect the concentration of the liquid flowing in the hose 2. It should be noted that the light source detection element 604 needs to be calibrated. When the light penetrates the hose 2, the hose 2 will block part of the light source;

[0053] When the liquid is being pumped, part of the liquid will enter the outer connecting pipe 605 through the water inlet hole, pass through the curved flow channel, and then be discharged from the water outlet hole and flow back into the hose 2. The number of water inlet holes is greater than that of the water outlet holes. During the flow of the liquid, the liquid cannot be discharged from the outer connecting pipe 605 in time, and a differential pressure will be formed in the outer connecting pipe 605 (during the flow of the liquid, as the liquid flows in, the amount of liquid in the outer connecting pipe 605 increases. If the discharge speed of the liquid cannot keep up with the inflow speed of the liquid, a pressure difference will be formed between the water inlet hole and the water outlet hole, and the pressure difference will slow down the liquid flow rate), resulting in slow liquid flow. In addition, the curved flow channel will increase the frictional force of the liquid flowing in the flow channel, slowing down the flow speed of the liquid in the outer connecting pipe 605, so as to increase the detection accuracy of the viscosity detection element 611. The viscosity detection element 611 will detect the viscosity of the liquid in the outer connecting pipe 605, and the liquid flowing through the outer connecting pipe 605 will re-enter the hose 2;

[0054] 2. Adjust the number of extrusion rollers 803: When the light source detection element 604 and the viscosity detection element 611 detect that the concentration and viscosity in the liquid are too high, the light source detection element 604 and the viscosity detection element 611 will generate electrical signals according to the liquid concentration and viscosity. The controller controls the voltage supplied to the second rotary drive 502 according to the electrical signals, so that the second rotary drive 502 drives the rod body 503 to rotate. The rotating rod body 503 will drive the moving plate 507, the mounting seat 508 and the spare extrusion assembly 8 to approach the main shaft 303. At the same time, the rotating rod body 503 will drive the moving frame 504 to move towards the position of the mounting seat 508. The moving moving frame 504 will drive the U-shaped displacement bracket 505 and the first chuck 506 to move into the inclined groove. The first chuck 506 contacts and presses the lifting conductive rod 407 to move the lifting conductive rod 407 upward to compress the third spring 409, so that the conduction between the lifting conductive rod 407, the electrical connector 406 and the first electromagnet 307 is disconnected, and the electromagnet disk 403 and the first electromagnet 307 lose magnetism. The electromagnet disk 403 will stop magnetically adsorbing with the second electromagnet 804, and the first electromagnet 307 will stop magnetically adsorbing with the slide rod 308. As the first chuck 506 is continuously driven to move and is squeezed by the inclined groove to drive the bracket 404, the vertical rod 405, the lifting disk 402 and the electromagnet disk 403 to rise. During the continuous movement of the moving frame 504, the inner wall of the moving frame 504 will contact the first electromagnet 307 to drive the first electromagnet 307 to slide in the chute and compress the second spring 309, so that the displacement block 302 and the first electromagnet 307 drive the extrusion roller 803 to disengage from the hose 2 and move towards the spare extrusion assembly 8 that is being driven to move, so that the second chuck 801 formed on the spare extrusion assembly 8 squeezes the snap ring 304. During the extrusion process, the snap ring 304 compresses the first spring 305, so that the second chuck 801 fits against the outer wall of the annular groove 306. The squeezed snap ring 304 will rise and then fall in the annular groove and snap into the groove of the second chuck 801 to fix the second chuck 801. By controlling the voltage input to the second electromagnet 804 by the controller, the voltage is disconnected to cut off the power supply of the second electromagnet 804 and then the power is turned on again. After the second electromagnet 804 reconnects the voltage to generate magnetic force, the adjacent two connectors 802 move on the outer wall of the main shaft 303 due to the magnetic repulsion force of the second electromagnet 804. Since the voltage supplied to each of the second electromagnets 804 is equal, the magnetic repulsion forces of the second electromagnets 804 act on each other, so that the adjacent two second electromagnets 804 maintain the same circumferential distance. In this way, the number of extrusion assemblies 8 can be increased so that multiple extrusion rollers 803 can extrude the hose 2. Multiple extrusion rollers 803 can form multiple extrusion points on the hose 2, disperse the pressure on the hose 2, and at the same time increase the pushing force for liquids with higher concentration and viscosity, so that the liquid can pass through the hose 2 more smoothly and reduce the fluctuations of the liquid during the pumping process. It should be noted that the existing manipulator can place the spare extrusion assembly 8 on the mounting seat 508.In this way, the number of extrusion components 8 is adjusted according to the different concentrations and viscosities of the liquid. By adjusting the number of extrusion components 8, the extrusion force can be adjusted according to the different concentrations and viscosities of the liquid. Liquids with higher viscosities require greater pushing forces. At this time, increasing the number of extrusion components can better push the liquid. For liquids with lower viscosities, the number of extrusion components can be appropriately reduced, thereby improving efficiency and saving energy;

[0055] It should be noted that after inserting the new extrusion component 8, for liquids with higher concentrations and viscosities, more set extrusion components 8 can be inserted to extrude the hose 2 and disperse the pressure on the hose 2. After adding the new extrusion component 8, by controlling the first rotary drive 301 to drive the rod body 503 to rotate in the reverse direction, the drive assembly 3 and the moving assembly 5 are restored to the original position where they extrude the hose 2. The first chuck 506 will withdraw from the inclined groove, allowing the bracket 404, the vertical rod 405, the lifting disc 402, and the electromagnet disc 403 to descend and contact the second electromagnet 804. The compressed third spring 409 will drive the lifting conductive rod 407 to contact the electrical connector 406 again to be energized, and the electromagnet disc 403 will be magnetically adsorbed to the second electromagnet 804 again, and the first electromagnet 307 will be magnetically adsorbed to the slide rod 308 (the first rotary drive 301 drives the main shaft 303 to rotate to maintain stability);

[0056] 3. Increase hardness: After inserting the new extrusion component 8, the extrusion component 8 will be driven to move back to the original position where it extrudes the hose 2. The elastic electrical contact 614 will contact the conductive ring 613 to be energized, enabling the electromagnetic device to generate a magnetic field and increasing the hardness of the magnetorheological fluid in the extrusion roller 803. When detecting an increase in the liquid concentration and viscosity, the controller can control the voltage supplied to the conductive ring 613 to increase, increasing the magnetic force of the magnetic field generated by the energized electromagnetic device and further increasing the hardness of the magnetorheological fluid in the extrusion roller 803. In this way, the extrusion roller 803 can maintain a stable shape under a large pressure and better exert an extrusion and pushing effect on high-viscosity samples;

[0057] It should be noted that magnetorheological fluid is a new type of fluid with controllable fluidity and is an active branch in the research of intelligent materials. When there is no external magnetic field, it exhibits the characteristics of a Newtonian fluid with low viscosity, and when an external magnetic field is applied, it presents as a Bingham fluid with high viscosity and low fluidity. There is a corresponding relationship between the viscosity of the liquid and the magnetic flux. The hardness change of the extrusion roller 803 is proportional to the extrusion strength, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid, and the magnitude of the magnetic field. Compared with replacing the hose 2 when transporting a liquid with a higher concentration (replacing the hose 2 usually involves processes such as disassembly and reinstallation, which not only increases the complexity of maintenance but also requires additional costs and time), increasing the hardness of the extrusion roller 803 to extrude the hose 2 is more applicable (increasing the hardness of the extrusion roller 803 can more flexibly respond to changes in liquid viscosity. Especially for high-viscosity liquids, when the liquid viscosity is high, a harder extrusion roller can provide a greater extrusion force to ensure that the liquid can smoothly pass through the hose).
