Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0070] To address the problems existing in the prior art, embodiments of this application provide a reaction apparatus. Referring to the figures, the reaction apparatus 100 is detachably mounted on the reaction station 200. After the stirring operation is completed using the reaction apparatus 100, the reaction apparatus 100 can be directly removed from the reaction station 200, and then the reaction apparatus 100 can be cleaned separately to improve the cleaning efficiency of the reaction apparatus 100.

[0071] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the reaction apparatus 100 includes a cup body 110, a quick-release assembly 120, and a stirring assembly 130. The cup body 110 may be made of glass. The quick-release assembly 120 is detachably connected to the cup body 110, and the stirring assembly 130 is rotatably connected to the quick-release assembly 120. The stirring assembly 130 includes a stirring element 131 and a connector 133. The stirring element 131 is located inside the cup body 110, and the connector 133 is fixedly connected to the stirring element 131. The connector 133 is used to connect to the rotating shaft 231 on the reaction station 200 to drive the stirring element 131 to stir the solution and powder materials inside the cup body 110.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cup body 110 and the stirring assembly 130 are connected by a quick-release component 120, facilitating the rapid disassembly and installation of the reaction device 100. More importantly, since the reaction device 100 in this embodiment is detachably mounted on the reaction station 200, multiple reaction devices 100 can be configured and placed near the reaction station 200 for easy replacement, improving the detection efficiency when conducting multiple stirring experiments using the reaction station 200. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 231 on the reaction station 200 is located outside the cup body 110 and connected to the connector 133, so the rotating shaft 231 does not come into contact with the solution and powder materials inside the cup body 110, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the reaction station 200 and preventing contamination of the reaction station 200 itself from affecting the accuracy of the detection data.

[0073] refer to Figures 1 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the quick-release assembly 120 includes a bottom connector 121, a top connector 122, and a locking member 123. The outer edge of the top of the cup body 110 has an annular protruding ring 111. The bottom connector 121 is a block structure with a fixing hole in its center that fits the cup body 110. An "L"-shaped groove is formed on the inner edge of the fixing hole, which fits the protruding ring 111 when the cup body 110 passes through the fixing hole. The outer wall of the bottom connector 121 has a limiting edge, which serves to limit and position the reaction device 100 when it is installed on the reaction station 200, facilitating its installation and fixation. The top connector 122 covers the cup body 110 and, in conjunction with the bottom connector 121, clamps the protruding ring 111 to seal the edge of the cup body 110. The locking member 123 is detachably connected to the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 for locking the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bottom connector 121 has two locking cavities 1211, which are located on both sides of the cup body 110. The top connector 122 has a first through hole 1221 corresponding to the locking cavity 1211, and the locking member 123 has a locking part 1231.

[0075] When the locking member 123 passes through the first through hole 1221 and the locking part 1231 engages with the locking cavity 1211, the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 are locked to clamp and seal the edge of the cup body 110.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking cavity 1211 has a first extension channel 12111 and a second extension channel 12112. The first extension channel 12111 is parallel to the plane where the bottom connector 121 is located. The second extension channel 12112 is located above and perpendicular to the first extension channel 12111. One side wall of the second extension channel 12112 communicates with the first extension channel 12111, and the other side wall extends to the top surface of the bottom connector 121, so that the locking cavity 1211 has a "T" shaped structure on the bottom connector 121. The locking part 1231 is perpendicular to the main body of the locking member 123, so that the lower half of the locking member 123 has a "+" shaped structure.

[0077] Based on the above structural features, when the locking member 123 is rotated so that the locking part 1231 is located inside the first extension channel 12111 and abuts against the inner wall of the first extension channel 12111, the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 are in a locked state. When the locking member 123 is rotated so that the locking part 1231 can pass through the second extension channel 12112, the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 are in an unlocked state. At this time, the top connector 122 and the bottom connector 121 can be separated, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the stirring assembly 130 and the inside of the cup body 110.

[0078] refer to Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a locking hole is provided on the outer wall of the lower extension of the locking member 123, and the locking hole extends radially along the locking member 123 to conduct the locking member 123. A locking pin passes through the locking hole to form a locking portion 1231.

[0079] refer to Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the stirring member 131 has a stirring blade 1311 and a stirring rod 1312, with the stirring blade 1311 located at the bottom of the stirring rod 1312 and detachably connected to the stirring rod 1312.

[0080] In this embodiment, the top of the stirring blade 1311 has a cylindrical protrusion structure with a slot and a pin hole. The slot is located at the center of the cylindrical protrusion structure, and the pin hole is located on the side wall of the cylindrical protrusion structure and leads to the slot. The bottom side wall of the stirring rod 1312 also has a pin hole. When connecting the stirring blade 1311 and the stirring rod 1312, the bottom of the stirring rod 1312 is first inserted into the slot, and then the connecting pin is passed through the pin hole on the stirring rod 1312 and the pin hole on the cylindrical protrusion structure in sequence to fix the stirring blade 1311 and the stirring rod 1312. When it is necessary to disassemble the stirring blade 1311 on the stirring rod 1312 for cleaning, it is only necessary to remove the connecting pin from the pin hole to complete the disassembly, so as to ensure the cleaning effect and efficiency of the stirring component 131.

[0081] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the locking member 123 away from the locking portion 1231 is a rotating end 1232. The rotating end 1232, near the surface of the top connector 122 (i.e., the lower surface of the rotating end 1232), has an elastic abutment portion 1233 that protrudes from the lower surface of the rotating end 1232. A limiting groove 1222 is formed on the top connector 122 to restrict the rotation of the locking member 123.

[0082] When the rotating end 1232 is rotated until the abutting part 1233 is located in the limiting groove 1222, the abutting part 1233 will be compressed and will apply a force toward the bottom connector 121 to the top connector 122 so that the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 cooperate to clamp the protruding ring 111.

[0083] In this embodiment, the abutment portion 1233 is an elastic support member fixedly mounted on the locking member 123.

[0084] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the stirring assembly 130 includes a rolling bearing 132. The top connector 122 has a mounting groove 1223 in its central region, and a second through hole 1224 at the bottom of the mounting groove 1223, connecting the mounting groove 1223 to the cup body 110. The outer ring of the rolling bearing 132 is fixedly embedded in the mounting groove 1223. The stirring component 131 has a stirring rod 1312, one end of which passes through the second through hole 1224 and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the rolling bearing 132.

[0085] The balls of the rolling bearing 132 are made of plastic or glass.

[0086] In this embodiment, due to the characteristics of the plastic or glass materials themselves, it is not necessary to apply lubricating oil inside the rolling bearing 132. By using the characteristics of the ball material, the rotational reliability of the rolling bearing 132 in the art is ensured, while avoiding the lubricating oil inside the existing rolling bearing 132 dripping into the cup body 110, thereby improving the accuracy of the experimental data obtained from the cup body 110.

[0087] Continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the reaction device 100 further includes a snap-fit ​​ring 140, which is an annular structure. A snap-fit ​​groove 1225 is formed on the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 1223 near its upper end, and the snap-fit ​​groove 1225 is adapted to the snap-fit ​​ring 140. A connector 133 is rotatably disposed within the mounting groove 1223, and the upper end of the connector 133 protrudes from the mounting groove 1223 to facilitate connection with the rotating shaft 231. The lower end of the connector 133 has a connection hole corresponding to the second through hole 1224. After the connector 133 is installed in the mounting groove 1223, the snap-fit ​​ring 140 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 1225 to prevent the connector 133 from detaching from the mounting groove 1223. One end of the stirring rod 1312 passes sequentially through the second through hole 1224, the inner ring of the rolling bearing 132, and is fixedly connected to the connection hole.

[0088] In this embodiment, the upper end face of the connector 133 is provided with a diamond-shaped slot, which is adapted to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 231. When the rotating shaft 231 on the reaction station 200 needs to be connected to the connector 133, the connection is completed by controlling the rotating shaft 231 to descend and insert into the diamond-shaped slot. Therefore, the rotating shaft 231 will not come into contact with the inside of the cup 110, and will not be contaminated by the inside of the cup 110, thus ensuring its own cleanliness.

[0089] Continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the reaction apparatus 100 further includes a first sealing ring 160. An annular first sealing groove 1226 is formed on the inner sidewall of the second through hole 1224, and the first sealing ring 160 is located in the first sealing groove 1226 and sleeved on the stirring rod 1312.

[0090] In this embodiment, by providing a first sealing ring 160 inside the second through hole 1224, the mixture formed by the solution and powder material inside the cup body 110 is prevented from contaminating the interior of the mounting groove 1223 through the second through hole 1224 during the stirring process of the stirring member 131.

[0091] In some embodiments, the reaction device 100 further includes a second sealing ring 170, and an annular second sealing groove 1227 is formed on the bottom end face of the top connector 122. The second sealing ring 170 is disposed in the second sealing groove 1227 and abuts against the upper end face of the cup body 110.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the bottom connector 121 and the top connector 122 clamp the protruding ring 111, the second sealing ring 170 seals the edge of the cup body 110, preventing the mixture of solution and powder material in the cup body 110 from overflowing from the edge of the cup body 110 during the stirring process of the reaction device 100.

[0093] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the top connector 122 is also provided with an exhaust port 1228, a feed port 1229, and a detection port 1230 that communicate with the cup body 110. The reaction station 200 is used to feed the solution and powder materials into the cup body 110 through the feed port 1229, and the reaction station 200 uses the detection port 1230 to detect the viscosity and temperature of the mixture formed by the solution and powder materials in the cup body 110 during the stirring process.

[0094] In addition, when gas is generated inside the cup 110 during the stirring process, the vent 1228 is used to discharge the gas generated inside the cup 110 during the stirring process through an external vent pipe.

[0095] refer to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the reaction apparatus 100 also includes a cover plate 150. When the reaction apparatus 100 is not needed, the cover plate 150 can be used to cover the top of the cleaned reaction apparatus 100 to prevent contaminants from entering the cup body through the vent 1228, feed port 1229 or detection port 1230, which would affect subsequent experimental data results.

[0096] Secondly, this application provides a reaction station, with reference to Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a feeding robot 210, a liquid delivery robot 220, a drive mechanism 230, a detection mechanism 240, a support platform 250, and a reaction device 100 as described in the above embodiment. The support platform 250 has several support areas 251 spaced apart, and each support area 251 is detachably equipped with a reaction device 100. Each support area 251 contains a reaction container filled with liquid. A cup body 110 is located inside the reaction container, and the reaction container heats the cup body 110 by heating the liquid. The feeding robot 210 is used to feed powdered material into the cup body 110 through a feed port 1229, and the liquid delivery robot 220 is used to introduce solution into the cup body 110 through the feed port 1229. The drive mechanism 230 has several rotating shafts 231, each corresponding to a connector 133. When it is necessary to rotate the stirring element 131, the drive mechanism 230 controls the rotating shafts 231 to descend until they engage with the connectors 133, thereby driving the stirring element 131 to rotate and stir the solution and powder materials in the cup 110 to form a mixture. The detection mechanism 240 has several infrared sensors, each corresponding to a detection hole 1230 on the reaction device 100. The infrared sensors are used to detect the viscosity and temperature of the mixture during the stirring process in the cup 110.

[0097] In this embodiment, the reaction station 200 is mainly used to detect the viscosity and temperature during the mixing and stirring process of solution and powder materials. Since the reaction device 100 is detachably mounted on the reaction station 200, multiple reaction devices 100 can be configured and used interchangeably, improving the detection efficiency when conducting multiple sets of stirring experiments using the reaction station 200. More importantly, the rotating shaft 231 is located outside the cup body 110 and connected to the connector 133, so the rotating shaft 231 does not come into contact with the solution and powder materials inside the cup body 110, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the reaction station 200 and preventing contamination that could affect the accuracy of the detection data.

[0098] In some embodiments, to achieve automated handling of the reaction device 100, a handling robot can be added to the reaction station 200. Specifically, grooves are formed on both sides of the top connector 122, and the handling robot completes the automated handling work by gripping the grooves on both sides of the top connector 122.

[0099] The above description is merely a specific implementation of the embodiments of this application, but the protection scope of the embodiments of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of the embodiments of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
