Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sample inspection detection equipment, in particular to a system for automatically weighing a fixed amount of sample and a working method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the laboratory of the inspection detection field, weighing a sample is the most common and necessary operation step. As long as quantitative analysis experimental testing work is carried out, weighing an accurate quantitative sample is the primary step to ensure the accuracy of subsequent analysis test data. At present, an electronic balance is generally used to weigh a sample in a laboratory, such as an electronic balance with a 0.1 mg sensitivity commonly used in a laboratory, which generally has the advantages of internal calibration, overload alarm, weighing unit conversion, data saving and printing, windproof stability, and friendly interface. The weighing technology of the electronic balance itself has been relatively mature.
[0003] In the geological laboratory of the natural resource system and the inspection detection laboratory of the environmental protection system, there is often a situation that a large number of analysis test samples are processed every day, and the average number of analysis test samples processed every day is several hundred or even several thousand. Analysis elements and matching analysis methods are also many, such as 76 elements in geochemical mapping sample analysis testing, which requires 16 analysis methods. Each sample must be weighed 16 times, and the total number of weighing samples in the geological laboratory every day is several thousand to tens of thousands. According to the current calculation of 700 samples weighed by each person every day, dozens of people are needed to weigh samples without stopping for a working day. For example, the detection index of soil in agriculture and environmental protection has dozens of items, which requires multiple analysis methods to complete, and the same number of samples needs to be weighed (i.e., a sample needs to be weighed multiple times for multiple element or item analysis testing, which is limited by the current technical level and process, and can only be completed by multiple analysis methods. The sample must be weighed multiple times), resulting in a large amount of weighing work in the laboratory. In addition to weighing solid samples, sometimes liquid samples also need to be weighed, such as the concentration unit of standard solution in isotope ratio analysis, which is ng / g or μg / kg. The final liquid standard configuration needs to be accurately weighed, and the multi-element isotope series standard configuration also occupies a large amount of manpower. However, the above operation is relatively mechanical. After a long time, the operator is prone to fatigue and operational errors, which reduces work efficiency. In actual work, an automatic weighing system that can quickly and accurately weigh solid powder or liquid samples is particularly needed to complete the weighing task with high quality and high efficiency. When a large number of analysis tasks arrive, the weighing workload of dozens of people can be saved.
[0004] In the prior art, the weighing of samples still relies on traditional manual operation, and the operation is performed according to the weighing laboratory operation procedures of the electronic balance. The following problems and deficiencies exist:
[0005] 1. Sample cross-contamination. Because of the same weighing method, different weighing personnel or the same weighing personnel using the same weighing spoon multiple times can cause potential cross-contamination between samples, affecting the quality of subsequent analysis and testing.
[0006] 2. High error rate. Because it is a manual operation, errors such as mismatched sample and vessel numbers often occur when personnel are fatigued, directly causing rework.
[0007] 3. When weighing a fixed amount of sample, it is difficult to determine and verify the accuracy of the sample weighing on-site; when weighing a variable amount of sample, the data is generally recorded manually one by one and cannot be automatically stored in real time, which is inefficient and sometimes leads to clerical errors.
[0008] 4. The entire weighing process requires manual supervision. Operators must maintain a double-arm support position, which is easy to cause fatigue, high labor intensity, difficulty in continuous production, and low production efficiency.
[0009] 5. When weighing liquid samples, sometimes the liquid sample is toxic, which may be harmful to the sample weighers.
[0010] 6. The entire sample weighing process relies entirely on manual operation, resulting in high labor costs and low economic efficiency. The large number of personnel required for sample weighing also increases the difficulty and cost of personnel management.
[0011] For the reasons mentioned above, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically weigh fixed quantities of samples (solid powders and liquids) to free up personnel from subsequent testing and analysis work, thereby improving work efficiency and quality.
[0012] Both patents (ZL202020000991.4 and ZL202011238713.3) design a vibration-type fully automatic intelligent sample weighing instrument. While it can achieve automatic weighing, it also has fatal flaws. First, the vibration caused during sampling may adversely affect the accuracy of the weighing, as weighing requires a horizontal, vibration-free environment. Second, if the samples have similar particle sizes, and their specific gravity (density) differs significantly, fixed-volume weighing cannot be achieved. Furthermore, they cannot achieve quantitative sampling of liquid samples. Therefore, this paper proposes a system and method for rapid, automatic, fixed-volume sample weighing to address the inaccuracies of existing fixed-volume weighing equipment and its inability to weigh liquid samples.
