Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rotary evaporators, in particular to a liquid collecting structure for rotary evaporators. Background Art
[0002] Rotary evaporator, also known as rotary evaporator, is an evaporation instrument widely used in laboratories. This instrument can be used for a variety of processes, such as sample distillation extraction, concentration, crystallization, drying, separation and solvent recovery. This equipment is particularly suitable for the concentration of extracts and the distillation of receiving liquids during chromatographic separation. It can effectively separate and purify reaction products, and the separated gaseous substances are cooled and liquefied by the condenser and then enter the recovery bottle for recovery and storage.
[0003] However, in the existing rotary evaporator, the fixation of the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle is mainly achieved by the seal inside the bottle mouth and the stainless steel ball-milled mouth clamp. During the installation of the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle, the bottom of the condenser needs to be inserted into the seal of the liquid collecting bottle mouth. This fixing method is difficult to ensure complete sealing. There may be tiny gaps, resulting in liquid leakage, and in the process of squeezing the seal, the seal may break or the bottom liquid outlet of the condenser may collapse, which makes it easy for external gas to enter the liquid collecting bottle, resulting in the destruction of the vacuum environment of the liquid collecting bottle and the entire rotary evaporator. Therefore, technical personnel in this field have proposed a liquid collecting structure for a rotary evaporator to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings existing in the prior art, and a liquid collecting structure for a rotary evaporator is proposed. The liquid collecting structure for a rotary evaporator seals the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle through a sealing bag. Different from the traditional extrusion sealing form, the connection is sealed by expansion, which avoids the need to squeeze the seal during the process of loading the liquid collecting bottle, resulting in the wear and leakage of the seal.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A liquid collecting structure for a rotary evaporator comprises a rotary evaporator, a condenser, a heating furnace and a feed valve, the condenser is fixed on the gas discharge end of the rotary evaporator, a liquid collecting assembly is clamped at the bottom of the condenser, the liquid collecting assembly comprises a liquid collecting bottle and a clamping slot, the clamping slot is arranged on the inner side of the bottle mouth of the liquid collecting bottle, a sealing and leak-proof assembly is clamped on the outside of the connection between the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle, the sealing and leak-proof assembly comprises a ball milling mouth clamp, a sealing capsule, a mounting frame, a sealing tube, a sealing plug, a connecting rope and a fixing frame, the sealing capsule is clamped in the clamping slot of the liquid collecting bottle, the sealing tube is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the sealing capsule, the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the sealing tube near the bottom, the sealing plug is connected to the top of the mounting frame by a spring, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the upper side wall of the ball milling mouth clamp, and the connecting rope is connected between the fixing frame and the sealing plug;
[0007] Through the above technical scheme, the device seals the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle through the sealing bag. Different from the traditional extrusion sealing form, when loading the liquid collecting bottle, the ball mill clamp is first opened, and the sealing plug is pulled upward by the connecting rope. The gas stored in the sealing bag is partially drawn into the sealing tube, and then the bottom of the condenser is inserted into the sealing bag, and the ball mill clamp is released. At this time, the sealing plug is reset by the spring, and the gas is re-injected into the sealing bag, so that the sealing bag expands and resets again, and then wraps the bottom of the condenser. The device avoids the need to squeeze the seal during the loading of the liquid collecting bottle, which causes the seal to wear and leak.
[0008] Furthermore, a powdered water-absorbing resin is adhered to the inner wall of the sealing capsule;
[0009] Through the above technical solution, when the sealing bag is accidentally damaged, the overflowing steam contacts the powdered water-absorbing resin, causing the powdered water-absorbing resin to absorb water and become gel-like and expand in volume, which can temporarily replace the sealing bag to achieve the sealing effect and can remind the operator that the equipment is leaking.
[0010] Furthermore, a heating furnace is provided below the rotary evaporator, and the rotary bottle in the rotary evaporator is placed in the heating furnace;
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the rotary bottle of the rotary evaporator is heated by the heating furnace.
[0012] Furthermore, a feed valve is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the condenser tube, and the feed valve is connected to the material input end of the rotary evaporator;
[0013] According to the technical solution, materials are added into the rotary evaporator through the feed valve.
[0014] Furthermore, the liquid collecting assembly further comprises a drainage pipe, the drainage pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid collecting bottle, and the other end of the drainage pipe is connected to a diaphragm valve via a flange;
[0015] Through the above technical scheme, the liquid formed by condensation is collected by a liquid collecting bottle, and the liquid recovered in the liquid collecting bottle is pumped into the anhydrous sodium sulfate filter by a pump. In order to prevent the connection between the pump and the liquid collecting bottle from being damaged, causing gas to mix into the liquid collecting bottle and destroying the vacuum environment in the liquid collecting bottle, a diaphragm valve is used to allow the recovered liquid to flow into the pump in a unidirectional manner, thereby fully ensuring the vacuum environment in the liquid collecting bottle and the rotary evaporator.
[0016] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the ball mill clamp are respectively clamped on the protrusion outside the condenser drain outlet and the protrusion outside the bottle mouth of the liquid collection bottle;
[0017] The above technical solution makes it easy to fix the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle by the ball mill clamp.
[0018] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. In the utility model, the condenser and the liquid collecting bottle are sealed by a sealing bag. After the bottom of the condenser is installed, it is inserted into the sealing bag, and the ball-milled mouth clamp is loosened. At this time, the sealing plug is reset under the drive of the spring, and the gas is re-injected into the sealing bag, so that the sealing bag expands and resets again, and then wraps the bottom of the condenser. This device avoids the need to squeeze the sealing part during the installation of the liquid collecting bottle, which causes the sealing part to be easily worn and leaked.
[0020] 2. In the utility model, when the ball mill mouth clamp is opened, the sealing plug is pulled upward by the connecting rope, and the gas stored in the sealing bag is partially drawn into the sealing tube. Then the bottom of the condenser tube is inserted into the sealing bag. The installation can be completed without pressurizing the sealing component, which is very convenient.
[0021] 3. In the utility model, when the sealing bag is accidentally damaged, the overflowing steam contacts the powdered water-absorbing resin, causing the powdered water-absorbing resin to absorb water and become gel-like and expand in volume, which can temporarily replace the sealing bag to achieve the sealing effect and can remind the operator that the equipment is leaking.
