Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological sample dissolution technology, and in particular to a multifunctional geological sample dissolution box. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of geological samples (such as rocks, soils, sediments, and minerals) in the laboratory is fundamental for geochemical analysis, mineralogical research, environmental assessment, and resource exploration. The processing aims to prepare raw samples into a standard form suitable for subsequent analysis (such as AFS, XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and microscopic observation).

[0003] The geological sample processing and testing process involves sample dissolution, which is usually done in a water bath for a certain period of time (usually two hours). During the dissolution process, the test tubes need to be taken out every half hour for shaking and mixing. This requires staff to perform experimental work at a high frequency over a long period of time. The dissolution process is cumbersome and affects the efficiency of the staff. During busy periods, it can also interfere with the normal operation of other experiments, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0023] This invention proposes a multifunctional geological sample dissolution chamber.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 The multifunctional geological sample dissolution box shown includes a box body 1, a test tube rack 2, a sample transfer mechanism 3, a sample dissolution mechanism 4, and a sample mixing mechanism 5. An inlet / outlet 11 is provided on one side of the box body 1. A working space 12 is provided inside the box body 1. The sample transfer mechanism 3, the sample dissolution mechanism 4, and the sample mixing mechanism 5 are all located in the working space 12. The sample dissolution mechanism 4, the sample mixing mechanism 5, and the inlet / outlet 11 are arranged sequentially. An initial area 13 is provided between the inlet / outlet 11 and the sample mixing mechanism 5, and the initial area 13 is connected to the inlet / outlet 11. The sample transfer mechanism 3 drives and connects to the test tube rack 2, which is used to hold several test tubes. The sample transfer mechanism 3 is used to grasp the test tube rack 2 within the initial area 13 and sequentially move the test tube rack 2 into the sample dissolution mechanism 4 and the sample mixing mechanism 5 according to input parameters.

[0025] The staff sends the container 22 containing test tubes into the initial area 13 through the sample inlet / outlet 11, so that the sample transfer mechanism 3 can grab the container 22 containing test tubes. The sample transfer mechanism 3 then sequentially sends the test tubes into the sample dissolution mechanism 4 for dissolution and into the mixing mechanism for mixing according to the input parameters. After the operation is completed, the sample transfer mechanism 3 sends the completed sample container 22 back into the initial area 13 for the staff to pick up. This automates the sample dissolution process, simplifies the operation of the staff, and improves the efficiency of the staff.

[0026] Specifically, a detachable transparent observation window 14 is provided on one side of the enclosure 1. The transparent observation window 14 can not only facilitate the staff to observe the actual operating status, but also be directly removed for easy maintenance when there is an abnormality in the operation inside the enclosure 1.

[0027] Specifically, the transparent observation window 14 is a transparent acrylic sheet.

[0028] Specifically, a fan is installed in the initial area 13 to cool the test tubes in the test tube rack 2 after the sample has been dissolved.

[0029] The test tube rack 2 includes two connecting seats 21 and a receiving rack 22. The receiving rack 22 is located between the two connecting seats 21 and is connected to both connecting seats 21. The receiving rack 22 has several receiving holes 23, each for receiving test tubes. The sample transfer mechanism 3 is used to grasp the two connecting seats 21 and drive the receiving rack 22 to move each test tube. The two connecting seats 21 facilitate the grasping of the sample transfer mechanism 3. The receiving rack 22 is selected according to the actual operation requirements to meet the needs of test tubes of different sizes.

[0030] The sample transfer mechanism 3 includes a mechanical gripper, a mounting base 31, two electrically controlled slides 32, and two slide rails 33. The two slide rails 33 extend along the sample inlet / outlet 11 toward the sample dissolution mechanism 4. The initial region 13, the mixing mechanism 5, and the sample dissolution mechanism 4 are all located between the two slide rails 33. One electrically controlled slide 32 is slidably connected to one of the slide rails 33, and the other electrically controlled slide 32 is driven to connect to the other slide rail 33. The mounting base 31 is located between the two slide rails 33 and is connected to the two electrically controlled slides 32. The mechanical gripper is located on the bottom side of the mounting base 31, and the two electrically controlled slides 32 are used to drive the mechanical gripper to move along the two slide rails 33 through the mounting base 31. The mechanical gripper is used to grasp the test tube rack 2. The two slide rails 33 extend along the sample inlet / outlet 11 toward the sample dissolution mechanism 4, so that the mechanical gripper connected to the two electrically controlled slides 32 can move arbitrarily within the sample dissolution mechanism 4, the mixing mechanism, and the initial region 13.

[0031] The mechanical gripper includes a driver, two connecting plates 34, and two limiting plates 35. The driver is located on the bottom side of the mounting base 31. The two connecting plates 34 are vertically arranged on the side of the driver away from the mounting base 31, and are parallel and spaced apart, forming a gripping space to accommodate the test tube rack 2. The two limiting plates 35 are located between the two connecting plates 34, with one end of one connecting plate 34 away from the driver connected to one of the limiting plates 35, and the other end of the other connecting plate 34 away from the driver connected to the other limiting plate 35. The driver drives the two limiting plates 35 to move closer together to clamp and fix the test tube rack 2, and to support the test tube rack 2. The driver is also used to drive the test tube rack 2 to move vertically up and down through the two limiting plates 35 and the two connecting plates 34. The driver drives the two limiting plates 35 to move closer to clamp the two connecting seats 21 of the receiving frame 22, while the two limiting plates 35 support the adjacent connecting seats 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the test tube when it moves along the two slide rails 33.

[0032] The driver includes a first electrically controlled lifting column 36, a fixed base 37, and a linear motor 38. The fixed base 37 is located below the mounting base 31, and the fixed base 37 and the mounting base 31 are spaced apart. The first electrically controlled lifting column 36 is located on the side of the mounting base 31 facing the fixed base 37, and the output end of the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 is connected to the fixed base 37. The linear motor 38 is located on the side of the fixed base 37 away from the mounting base 31, and the linear motor 38 is equipped with two slides 39. One slide 39 is connected to one end of a connecting plate 34 near the mounting base 31, and the other slide 39 is connected to the other end of a connecting plate 34 near the mounting base 31. The first electrically controlled lifting column 36 is used to drive the two connecting plates 34 to move vertically up and down through the fixed base 37, the linear motor 38, and the two slides 39 in sequence. The linear motor 38 is used to drive the two connecting plates 34 to move closer to or away from each other through the two slides 39. The first electrically controlled lifting column 36 adjusts the vertical height of the test tube rack 2 so that the test tube rack 2 can enter and exit the sample dissolution mechanism 4 and the sample mixing mechanism 5; the linear motor 38, in conjunction with the double slide table 39, achieves the gripping of the test tube rack 2.

[0033] Both the sample dissolving mechanism 4 and the sample mixing mechanism 5 are equipped with support frames 6. The support frames 6 are used to support and limit the test tube racks 2 that enter the sample dissolving mechanism 4 or the sample mixing mechanism 5. The support frames 6 facilitate the fixing and limiting of multiple test tube racks 2.

[0034] The support frame 6 includes two vertical frames 61 and two support plates 62. The two support plates 62 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the horizontal direction, forming a receiving space between the two support plates 62. The receiving space is used to accommodate the receiving rack 22 for loading each test tube. One vertical frame 61 is connected to one of the support plates 62, and the other vertical frame 61 is connected to the other support plate 62. One vertical frame 61 supports one of the connecting seats 21 through the connected support plate 62, and the other vertical frame 61 supports the other connecting seat 21 through the connected support plate 62.

[0035] Specifically, each of the two support plates 62 has a positioning protrusion 63 on the side facing the test tube rack 2, and each of the two connecting seats 21 has a positioning hole 24 on the side facing the support frame 6; one positioning protrusion 63 is used to insert into one positioning hole 24, and the other positioning protrusion 63 is used to insert into the other positioning hole 24. The cooperation of the two positioning protrusions 63 and the two positioning holes 24 can ensure a more stable connection between the test tube rack 2 and the support frame 6, and prevent the test tube rack 2 from accidentally slipping off.

[0036] Specifically, the multifunctional geological sample dissolution box also includes a controller; the sample transfer mechanism 3 is equipped with a distance measuring mechanism, which is electrically connected to the controller. The distance measuring mechanism is used to detect the height data of each connecting seat 21 near the ends of the two slide rails 33 and send it to the controller; the controller is used to determine the difference between each height data based on each height data; and to determine whether each difference is greater than a preset error. When each difference is less than the preset error, the sample transfer mechanism 3 moves to the initial area 13, and the dissolution mechanism 4 and the mixing mechanism 5 operate according to the input parameters; when any difference is less than or equal to the preset error, the sample transfer mechanism 3 grabs the test tube rack 2 and moves it to the initial area 13, then returns to the previous removal position and puts the test tube rack 2 down again, so that the distance measuring mechanism can obtain each height data again and execute the step of determining whether each difference is greater than the preset error. By measuring the height of the test tube rack 2 at multiple points after it enters the dissolution mechanism 4 or the mixing mechanism 5, it is ensured that the test tube rack 2 is placed in parallel and that the test tube rack 2 operates normally.

[0037] Specifically, the ranging mechanism includes four infrared rangefinders 310, each infrared rangefinder 310 is disposed on the side of the fixed base 37 away from the mounting base 31, and the infrared rangefinders 310 are arranged in a matrix around the linear motor 38.

[0038] The sample dissolving mechanism 4 includes a sample dissolving pot 41, a second electrically controlled lifting column 42, and a first pressure plate 43. A sample dissolving space is opened on the top side of the sample dissolving pot 41, which is used to dissolve geological samples in test tubes. A support frame 6 is set in the sample dissolving space. The first pressure plate 43 is also set on the top side of the sample dissolving pot 41. The second electrically controlled lifting column 42 is set on the side of the first pressure plate 43 away from the sample dissolving pot 41. The output end of the second electrically controlled lifting column 42 drives and connects to the first pressure plate 43. Two slide rails 33 are located between the first pressure plate 43 and the sample dissolving pot 41. The second electrically controlled lifting column 42 is used to drive the first pressure plate 43 to move towards the sample dissolving pot 41, and fix the test tube rack 2 to the support frame 6 located in the sample dissolving space.

[0039] Specifically, the sample dissolving pot 41 is a water bath.

[0040] The mixing mechanism 5 includes a vibrator 51, a third electrically controlled lifting column 52, and a second pressure plate 53. A mixing space is opened on the top side of the vibrator 51 for geological samples in each test tube. Another support frame 6 is set in the mixing space. A second pressure plate 53 is also set on the top side of the vibrator 51. The third electrically controlled lifting column 52 is set on the side of the second pressure plate 53 away from the vibrator 51. The output end of the third electrically controlled lifting column 52 drives and connects to the second pressure plate 53. Two slide rails 33 are located between the second pressure plate 53 and the vibrator 51. The third electrically controlled lifting column 52 is used to drive the second pressure plate 53 to move towards the vibrator 51 and fix the test tube rack 2 to the support frame 6 located in the mixing space.

[0041] Specifically, both the first pressure plate 43 and the second pressure plate 53 are provided with a sealing layer on the side facing the test tube rack 2. The sealing layer is used to seal each test tube located in the test tube rack 2.

[0042] The work process is as follows: S10, load each test tube into the sample and load the test tube rack 2, then send the test tube rack 2 into the grasping space of the mechanical claw located in the initial space through the sample inlet / outlet 11. S20, the linear motor 38 drives the two slides 39 to move closer together so that the two connecting plates 34 clamp the test tube rack 2 and the two limiting plates 35 support the test tube rack 2; S30, set the input parameters, including heating time, heating temperature, mixing time, vibration time, and mixing intensity. The sample transfer mechanism 3, sample dissolving mechanism 4, and sample mixing mechanism 5 are all opened and closed according to the input parameters to prevent accidental operation of the sample transfer mechanism 3, sample dissolving mechanism 4, and sample mixing mechanism 5, and to protect the sample transfer mechanism 3, sample dissolving mechanism 4, and sample mixing mechanism 5.

[0043] S40, the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 drives the test tube rack 2 to rise, and then the two electrically controlled sliding blocks 32 drive the test tube rack 2 to move to the position above the melting pot 41; S41, the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 drives the test tube rack 2 to descend, and drives the test tube rack 2 to connect to the inner support frame 6 of the melting pot 41, so that one of the positioning protrusions 63 is inserted into one of the positioning holes 24, and the other positioning protrusion 63 is inserted into the other positioning hole 24. S42, linear motor 38 controls two slides 39 to drive two connecting plates 34 away from test tube rack 2, first electric lifting column 36 drives two connecting plates 34 to rise, and is detected by four infrared rangefinders 310.

The sample melting pot 41 operates according to the heating time and heating temperature. S50, when the real-time time matches the mixing time, the second electrically controlled lifting column 42 drives the first pressure plate 43 to rise; the two second electrically controlled sliding blocks 32 drive the mechanical claw to move to the position above the solution pot; the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 drives the two connecting plates 34 to fall; and the linear motor 38 controls the two sliding tables 39 to drive the two connecting plates 34 to move closer together so that the mechanical claw can grab the test tube rack 2 located in the solution pot. S51, the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 drives the test tube rack 2 inside the solution pot to rise, and then drives the test tube rack 2 to move to the position above the sample dissolving pot 41 through the two electrically controlled sliding seats 32. S52, the first electrically controlled lifting column 36 drives the test tube rack 2 to descend, and drives the test tube rack 2 to connect to the inner support frame of the vibrator 51 so that one of the positioning protrusions 63 is inserted into one of the positioning holes 24, and the other positioning protrusion 63 is inserted into the other positioning hole 24.
