Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elemental analysis and detection technology, specifically to an integrated experimental device for microwave digestion and precise volumetric filtration detection. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of elemental analysis, microwave digestion is a key step in sample pretreatment. Subsequent steps such as acid removal, volume adjustment, and filtration are required before the sample can be analyzed on an instrument (such as the ICP-710 inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer).

[0003] In the current experimental procedure, each operation is carried out separately, and the sample needs to be transferred between multiple devices such as microwave digester, fume hood, and acid removal heater. This is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also poses a risk of sample contamination and volatilization loss, affecting the accuracy of the test results.

[0004] Meanwhile, the existing process suffers from several pain points due to manual operation: First, the installation and removal of the pressure relief module relies on manual use of a capping tool, which is inefficient and difficult to control, easily leading to poor sealing or damage to the pressure relief module; Second, the transfer of the digestion vessel between the frame, the acid removal heater, and the volumetric container requires manual operation, which is prone to collisions and sample spillage; Third, the heating and ventilation systems operate independently, requiring manual opening of the fume hood during acid removal heating, and cannot automatically adjust the wind speed and heating temperature according to the experimental progress, resulting in high energy consumption and poor safety; Fourth, the overall experimental equipment is scattered, occupying a large amount of laboratory space, and lacks unified automated control, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern laboratories for efficient, accurate, and safe testing.

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0043] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: an integrated experimental device for microwave digestion and precise volume filtration detection, including a cabinet 1. A partition 2 is horizontally fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1, dividing the cabinet 1 into an upper cavity and an operating chamber 101. The operating chamber 101 is equipped with a digestion component 3, an automatic component 4, a volume filtration component 5, and a filtration detection component 6. The automatic component 4 and the filtration detection component 6 are located above the digestion component 3 and the volume filtration component 5.

[0044] Please see Figure 3-4 Furthermore, the digestion assembly 3 includes a tray 304 connected to and slidably mounted on the inner wall of the operating chamber 101 via a threaded rod transmission mechanism 302. A digestion vessel mounting bracket 308 for fixing the digestion vessel is inserted into the top of the tray 304. Several rotating bases 309 are rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the digestion vessel mounting bracket 308. The rotating bases 309 are used to fix the digestion vessel and rotate it. A sealing plate 311 is slidably mounted inside the partition 2 for sealing the connection port 310. An explosion-proof sleeve 316 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the upper cavity above the digestion vessel mounting bracket 308 via a cylinder 314. An explosion-proof top cover 318 for ejecting the digestion vessel is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the explosion-proof sleeve 316.

[0045] Furthermore, a lifting plate 301 is threadedly installed on the inner wall of the operating chamber 101 via a threaded rod transmission mechanism 302. A sealing base plate 303 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 301 via a connecting rod. The sealing base plate 303 is located on the side of the lifting plate 301 away from the threaded rod transmission mechanism 302. A tray 304 is rotatably installed at the center of the surface of the sealing base plate 303. An annular groove 305 is provided on the surface of the tray 304 for installing a digestion vessel mounting rack 308. The digestion vessel mounting rack 308 is used to place the digestion vessel. A motor 306 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing base plate 303. Its output end passes through the sealing base plate 303 and is connected to the tray 304. A sealing ring 307 is fixedly installed between the surface of the sealing base plate 303 and the outer wall of the tray 304. The sealing ring 307 is used to seal the bottom plate 303 and the connection port 310.

[0046] The threaded rod transmission mechanism 302 drives the lifting plate 301 to stably raise and lower the digestion vessel. Together with the sealing ring 307, it achieves a seal between the sealing base plate 303 and the connection port 310, ensuring the airtightness of the digestion chamber 102 and preventing microwave leakage and acid mist diffusion. The motor 306 drives the tray 304 to rotate, which can assist the digestion vessel mounting frame 308 in rotating during microwave digestion and facilitates the positioning of the automatic component 4. The annular groove 305 precisely fixes the digestion vessel mounting frame 308 to prevent the digestion vessel from shifting during rotation, cap tightening, and raising and lowering.

[0047] Furthermore, the connection port 310 is located above the digestion vessel mounting frame 308 on the partition 2. A telescopic rod 312 is fixedly installed between the sealing plate 311 and the inner wall of the partition 2. The telescopic rod 312 is used to drive the sealing plate 311 to seal the connection port 310. A displacement sensor 313 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition 2, located on the rising path of the digestion vessel mounting frame 308.

[0048] Telescopic rod 312 drives sealing plate 311 to close connection port 310 during the process. During the digestion process, telescopic rod 312 drives sealing plate 311 to open connection port 310 to facilitate the entry of digestion tank. After the digestion process is completed, digestion tank exits digestion chamber 102, and telescopic rod 312 drives sealing plate 311 to close connection port 310 to prevent acid mist from entering digestion chamber 102 and improve the sealing performance of the device. Displacement sensor 313 monitors the lifting position of digestion tank in real time to avoid excessive lifting and collision with sealing plate 311 or insufficient lowering that would prevent sealing plate 311 from closing, ensuring reasonable connection of the actions of each component.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper cavity is divided into a digestion chamber 102 and an equipment chamber 103 by a vertical plate. The digestion chamber 102 is located above the digestion assembly 3. The fixed end of the cylinder 314 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the digestion chamber 102. The output end of the cylinder 314 is fixedly installed with an installation plate 315. Several explosion-proof sleeves 316 are fixedly installed on the side of the connection port 310 of the installation plate 315. An explosion-proof top cover 318 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the explosion-proof sleeve 316 through a telescopic rod 317. The explosion-proof top cover 318 is used to hold the digestion vessel lid during microwave digestion.

[0050] Cylinder 314 pushes the explosion-proof sleeve 316 to quickly cover the digestion vessel, forming an explosion-proof protection to prevent safety accidents caused by excessive digestion pressure; Telescopic rod 317 pushes the explosion-proof top cover 318 to hold the bottle cap, which not only enhances the sealing effect but also prevents the bottle cap from falling off after the digestion vessel expands due to heat. At the same time, the digestion vessel can be actively pushed out after digestion is completed, without the need for manual removal, thus improving the convenience of operation.

[0051] Furthermore, several heating rods 319 are fixedly installed inside the operating chamber 101, located on one side of the digestion vessel mounting rack 308, for heating the acid removal step. A fan 320 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the operating chamber 101, located on one side of the digestion vessel mounting rack 308, for exhausting and cooling the acid mist. An acid mist treatment device 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cabinet 1. The acid mist treatment device 11 is connected to the fan 320 through a pipe. The acid mist treatment device 11 is connected to the exhaust port of the ICP detector 9 through a pipe. The acid mist treatment device 11 is used to treat the acid mist generated during the experiment.

[0052] Heating rod 319 provides stable heating for acid removal from the digestion vessel, integrating acid removal and digestion, and shortening the experimental process. Fan 320 discharges acid mist from the device during acid removal and introduces it into acid mist treatment device 11. Acid mist treatment device 11 contains an acid gas filter box to neutralize the acid mist, preventing it from corroding device components or harming the health of operators. At the same time, continuing to exhaust gas after acid removal can quickly reduce the temperature of the digestion vessel, facilitating subsequent sample aspiration by the aspiration head 410, avoiding the influence of high temperature on sample properties, and ensuring detection accuracy. During plasma excitation, the high temperature causes the acid in the solution to turn into acid mist. Acid mist treatment device 11 is connected to the exhaust port of ICP detector 9 through a pipe, guiding the acid mist during excitation into acid mist treatment device 11 to avoid damaging the instrument.

[0053] Furthermore, a magnetron 7 is fixedly installed inside the digestion chamber 102, located on one side of the connection port 310, for generating microwaves during the digestion process, and a metal plate 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the digestion chamber 102 for reflecting microwaves.

[0054] The magnetron 7 generates microwaves to provide energy for sample digestion. The metal plate 8 reflects the microwaves, making the microwave distribution in the digestion chamber 102 uniform, avoiding insufficient local digestion and improving sample digestion efficiency. The relatively sealed space of the digestion chamber 102, together with the metal plate 8, improves the safety of the device and the digestion effect.

[0055] Please see Figure 5-6 Furthermore, the automatic component 4 includes several claws 405 that are slidably mounted on the bottom of the partition plate 2 by a threaded rod transmission mechanism 2 402, and a through hole 406 is provided at the center of the claws 405; a mounting plate 3 409 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod transmission mechanism 2 402, and several suction heads 410 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 3 409, and the suction heads 410 pass through the through hole 406.

[0056] Further, the automatic component 4 includes a movable plate 401, which is slidably connected to the bottom of the partition 2 via a threaded rod transmission mechanism 402. A cylinder 403 is fixedly installed on the side of the movable plate 401 away from the partition 2. An installation plate 404 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 403. Several claws 405 are fixedly installed on the side of the installation plate 404 facing the digestion component 3. An infrared sensor 407 is fixedly installed on the side of the installation plate 404 near the digestion vessel mounting bracket 308 to detect the position of the claws 405 and the digestion vessel. A telescopic rod 408 is fixedly installed on the side of the installation plate 404 away from the claws 405. The installation plate 409 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 408. A suction head 410 passes through the installation plate 409 and is connected to a connecting pipe 411. The end of the connecting pipe 411 away from the suction head 410 is connected to a negative pressure pump.

[0057] The threaded rod transmission mechanism 402 drives the moving plate 401 to move, so that the chuck 405 avoids the rising path of the digestion component 3, thus avoiding interference between components; the infrared sensor 407 accurately positions the digestion vessel and test tube, ensuring the accuracy of the chuck 405 in loading and unloading the bottle cap and the liquid discharge of the suction head 410; the telescopic rod 408 adjusts the height of the suction head 410, and works with the negative pressure pump to achieve accurate sample aspiration and quantitative transfer, reducing sample loss and improving the accuracy of volume determination; the connecting pipe 411 connects to the negative pressure pump to provide stable power to the suction head 410.

[0058] Please see Figure 7 Furthermore, the volume-regulating component 5 includes a liquid level sensor 504 fixedly installed inside the test tube holder 503 for detecting the liquid level.

[0059] Furthermore, the volume-fixing component 5 also includes a support frame 501, which is fixedly installed on the side of the operating chamber 101 away from the digestion component 3. A tray 502 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the support frame 501, and a test tube holder 503 is movably installed on the top surface of the tray 502.

[0060] The support frame 501 stably supports the tray 502, which is rotatable, making it easy to adjust the position of the test tube rack 503. The test tube rack 503 is movable and can be quickly replaced according to the test tube specifications. It is also easy to pre-fill different volumes of pure water, shortening the experiment time.

[0061] Please see Figure 7-8 Furthermore, the filter detection component 6 includes a mounting plate 604 that is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 via an electric slide rail 601. A pipette 605 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 604, and the pipette 605 is used to transfer the digested solution.

[0062] Furthermore, the electric slide rail 601 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the operating chamber 101 near the volume-fixing component 5. A moving block 602 is slidably installed on the surface of the electric slide rail 601. A cylinder 603 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving block 602. The mounting plate 604 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 603. The suction tube 605 passes through the mounting plate 604, and one end of the suction tube is fixedly connected to a detection tube 607. The end of the detection tube 607 away from the suction tube 605 is connected to the detection port of the ICP detector 9. A sleeve 608 is fitted over the outside of several detection tubes 607 to gather the detection tubes 607. A filter sleeve 606 is snapped into the suction port of the detection tube 607 to filter the absorbed liquid.

[0063] The electric slide rail 601 works in conjunction with the moving block 602 to quickly move the pipette 605 above the test tube. The cylinder 603 adjusts the height of the pipette 605, allowing the filter sleeve 606 to extend into the test tube to aspirate the liquid. The snap-fit ​​design of the filter sleeve 606 facilitates quick replacement and avoids blockage that could affect the detection progress. The tube sleeve 608 gathers the detection tube 607 to prevent tangling or damage caused by messy tubing. The ICP detector 9 is directly connected to the detection tube 607 to achieve rapid detection of the sample liquid.

[0064] Furthermore, the ICP detector 9 is installed inside the equipment chamber 103 for detection. A waste liquid recovery tray 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the operating chamber 101. The ICP detector 9 and the waste liquid recovery tray 10 are connected by a waste liquid discharge pipe 12. The waste liquid discharge pipe 12 passes through the partition 2 and is located inside the operating chamber 101. The waste liquid recovery tray 10 is used to recover the waste liquid dripping from the suction tube 605 and the waste liquid generated after the ICP detector 9 finishes detection.

[0065] The ICP detector 9 is located in the equipment room 103, separated from the operating room 101, to prevent acid mist from corroding the precision components inside the detector. The waste liquid recovery tray 10 collects the waste liquid dripping from the suction head 410 and the suction tube 605, preventing the waste liquid from contaminating the bottom of the operating room 101. After the test is completed, the waste liquid generated is discharged directly from the ICP detector 9 into the waste liquid recovery tray 10 through the waste liquid discharge pipe 12. It can be poured out directly when changing test samples, which is convenient for subsequent centralized treatment and reduces the amount of cleaning work after the experiment.

[0066] In actual operation, when this device is used, the weighed sample is placed into the digestion vessel, the operating chamber 101 is opened, and the test tubes are placed inside the test tube rack 503. The test tubes contain different volumes of pure water for volume dilution. The digestion vessel is then placed on the rotating base 309 of the digestion vessel rack 308, so that the digestion vessel is fixed on the rotating base 309. After adding acid solution into the digestion vessel according to the sample requirements, the automatic component 4 is activated. The threaded rod transmission mechanism 402 drives the moving plate 401 to move. The infrared sensor 407 detects and aligns with the position of the digestion vessel cap. The cylinder 403 pushes the mounting plate 404 down. The chuck 405 drives the clamped cap to move towards the digestion vessel until it is close to the digestion vessel. The rotating base 309 drives the digestion vessel to rotate to tighten and seal the digestion vessel cap. Then, the threaded rod transmission mechanism 402 drives the automatic component 4 to move laterally, so that the automatic component 4 moves out of the rising path of the digestion component 3.

[0067] The threaded rod transmission mechanism 302 is activated, which drives the lifting plate 301 to rise. The lifting plate 301, through the connecting rod, drives the sealing base plate 303, tray 304, and digestion vessel mounting bracket 308 to rise, allowing the digestion vessel to enter the digestion chamber 102. The displacement sensor 313 monitors the rising position in real time. When the digestion vessel approaches the connection port 310 of the partition 2, the telescopic rod 312 retracts, driving the sealing plate 311 to move and open the connection port 310. The digestion vessel continues to rise, passing through the connection port 310 and entering the digestion chamber 102. The sealing ring 307 ensures the seal between the sealing base plate 303 and the connection port 310, ensuring the seal of the digestion chamber 102. The cylinder 314 is activated, pushing the mounting plate 315 downward, so that the explosion-proof sleeve 316 is fitted over the outside of the digestion vessel. The telescopic rod 317 pushes the explosion-proof top cover 318 downward to press against the digestion vessel cap, further enhancing the sealing effect and preventing the digestion vessel cap from falling off due to pressure.

[0068] The magnetron 7 is activated to generate microwaves, which are reflected by the metal plate 8 to ensure uniform microwave distribution within the digestion chamber 102, enabling efficient digestion of the sample. After digestion, cylinder 314 moves the explosion-proof sleeve 316 upward, and telescopic rod 317 pushes the explosion-proof top cover 318 out of the digestion vessel due to thermal expansion. Lifting plate 301 lowers the digestion vessel to the operating chamber 101, and displacement sensor 313 monitors the descent position in real time. When the digestion vessel leaves the connection port 310 of partition 2, telescopic rod 312 extends, moving the sealing plate 311 to close the connection port 310, ensuring the digestion chamber 102 is sealed and preventing acid mist from entering. Claw 405 fixes the bottle cap, and rotating base 309 rotates the digestion vessel, causing the bottle cap to open. Heating rod 319 is activated to expel acid from the digestion vessel, and fan 320 operates to exhaust and cool the acid mist, which then enters the acid mist treatment device 11 for treatment, while simultaneously reducing the temperature of the equipment after the acid expulsion is completed.

[0069] After the acid removal is completed, the threaded rod transmission mechanism 402 drives the moving plate 401 to the top of the digestion vessel. The cylinder 403 drives the jaws 405 to descend until they clamp the digestion vessel, providing precise positioning for the suction head 410 to be inserted into the digestion vessel. The telescopic rod 408 retracts, causing the mounting plate 409 to move down. The suction head 410 passes through the through hole 406 and extends into the digestion vessel. The negative pressure pump allows the suction head 410 to accurately draw different volumes of sample liquid. The jaws 405 are released, and the cylinder 403 drives the suction head 410 to rise. The threaded rod transmission mechanism 402 drives it to the top of the test tube, where the infrared sensor 407 provides precise positioning. The negative pressure pump discharges the liquid from the suction head 410 into the test tube. The liquid level sensor 504 detects the liquid level to achieve precise volume adjustment. The automatic component 4 completes its work and moves to the top of the waste liquid recovery tray 10.

[0070] The electric slide rail 601 drives the moving block 602 to move, the cylinder 3 603 pushes the mounting plate 4 604 down, the filter sleeve 606 of the suction port of the pipette 605 extends into the test tube, and is transported to the ICP detector 9 through the detection tube 607. The filter sleeve 606 filters impurities in the sample liquid. The filter sleeve 606 is easy to replace and there is no need to consider the problem of blockage. The tube sleeve 608 binds the detection tube 607 to avoid the pipeline being messy. During the experiment, the high temperature during plasma excitation will cause the acid in the solution to turn into acid mist. The acid mist during excitation is introduced into the acid mist treatment device 11 through the pipeline to avoid damage to the instrument. The waste liquid recovery tray 10 collects the waste liquid dripping from the suction head 410 and the pipette 605 when they are stationary to prevent contamination of the operating room 101. The waste liquid generated during the detection process is discharged directly from the ICP detector 9 into the waste liquid recovery tray 10 through the waste liquid discharge pipe 12. It can be poured out directly when changing the test sample.
