[0062] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, rather than all the embodiments.

[0063] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a pH tester includes a sample bottle 10, a pH electrode 20, a lifting mechanism 30, a swing mechanism 40, a turntable mechanism 50, a control system 60 and a cleaning bottle 70.

[0064] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 30 is used to drive the pH electrode 20 to move up and down. The pH electrode 20 can move away from and out of the sample bottle 10 when it moves upward, and can move into the sample bottle 10 when it moves downward. By configuring the lifting mechanism 30, the pH electrode 20 can enter and be removed from the sample bottle 10.

[0065] Furthermore, the swing mechanism 40 is disposed on the lifting mechanism 30 , and the swing mechanism 40 is used to drive the pH electrode 20 to move, thereby stirring the sample.

[0066] Furthermore, the turntable mechanism 50 is used to drive the sample bottle 10 to rotate, which can realize continuous detection of multiple samples and improve the degree of automation and detection efficiency.

[0067] Further, the control system 60 is configured to be electrically connected to the pH electrode 20, the lifting mechanism 30, the swing mechanism 40 and the turntable mechanism 50. The pH electrode 20, the lifting mechanism 30, the swing mechanism 40 and the turntable mechanism 50 can be controlled by programming.

[0068] Furthermore, the turntable mechanism 50 is provided with a positioner 51 and an assembly groove 52. The assembly groove 52 is arranged at an angle, and is used for inserting the bottom of the sample bottle 10, so that the bottle mouth of the sample bottle 10 is inclined in a direction away from the central axis of the turntable mechanism 50. The positioner 51 is configured to be slidably connected to the turntable mechanism 50, and the positioner 51 is used to abut against the sample bottle 10 to position the sample bottle 10.

[0069] Compared with the horizontal placement, the sample bottle 10 is placed in an inclined manner. Even when there is less sample test solution in the sample bottle, it still has a high depth, which is conducive to the contact between the pH electrode 20 and the sample test solution.

[0070] The control system 60 is configured to control the turntable mechanism 50 to rotate back and forth.

[0071] In this embodiment, the assembly groove 52 is also used for inserting the bottom of the cleaning bottle 70 , so that the mouth of the cleaning bottle 70 is tilted in a direction away from the central axis of the turntable mechanism 50 .

The turntable mechanism 50 and the positioner 51 are slidably connected via the connecting shaft 55 and the guide hole 511 .

[0074] Furthermore, the central axis of the connecting shaft 55 coincides with the central axis of the turntable mechanism 50 .

[0075] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 30 is located behind the turntable mechanism 50 .

[0076] Furthermore, the swing mechanism 40 is used to drive the pH electrode 20 to move away from or toward the lifting mechanism 30, thereby mixing the solution in the sample bottle 10, and the pH electrode 20 is inserted into the cleaning bottle 70 and swings to clean itself, which can effectively avoid cross contamination of samples and reduce test deviation.

[0077] Exemplarily, the lifting mechanism 30 uses an electric telescopic rod.

[0078] In this embodiment, there are four assembly slots 52. There are three sample bottles 10 and one cleaning bottle 70. The four assembly slots 52 are distributed in a circular array.

[0079] For example, in order to facilitate programming to control the constant placement of the sample bottle 10 and the cleaning bottle 70 and to facilitate the installation of the cleaning bottle 70 , a mark can be set in one of the assembly grooves 52 so that the assembly groove 52 is specifically used to place the cleaning bottle 70 .

[0080] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the swing mechanism 40 includes a base 41 , a first motor 42 and a clamp 43 .

[0082] Furthermore, a linear guide rail 44 is fixedly disposed on the base 41 , and the clamp 43 is configured to be fixedly connected to a slider of the linear guide rail 44 .

[0083] Furthermore, a connecting rod 45 is provided between the clamp 43 and the first motor 42 , an eccentric wheel is provided on the output shaft of the first motor 42 , and the eccentric wheel and the clamp 43 are both movably connected to the connecting rod 45 .

[0084] Furthermore, the base 41 is provided with an active hole, and the pH electrode 20 passes through the active hole.

[0085] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting rod 45 are provided with joint bearings, and the eccentric wheel and the clamp 43 are movably connected to the connecting rod 45 via the joint bearings.

[0086] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on the base 41 , the linear guide rail 44 is located on the groove wall of the mounting groove, and the mounting groove is communicated with the movable hole.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the turntable mechanism 50 includes a second motor 53 and a conical turntable 54 .

[0088] Furthermore, the conical turntable 54 is configured to be fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 53 , the connecting shaft 55 is fixedly configured in the middle of the conical turntable 54 , and the assembly groove 52 is located on the conical turntable 54 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the control system 60 is an Internet of Things control system 60 .

[0090] Exemplarily, the Internet of Things control system 60 includes a touch screen (not shown) and an Internet of Things controller (not shown). The touch screen and the Internet of Things controller are electrically connected. By adopting the Internet of Things controller, test data can be sent to other receiving terminals through the network, realizing data transmission, Internet of Things and traceability, facilitating remote data viewing and avoiding data loss.

[0091] When in use, the sample solution to be tested is placed in the sample bottle 10, and cleaning liquid is added to the cleaning bottle 70, and then the equipment is started. According to the predetermined detection program, the sample in the sample bottle 10 is gradually detected through the pH electrode 20, the lifting mechanism 30, the swing mechanism 40 and the turntable mechanism 50. During the detection process, the pH electrode can swing to ensure that the electrode and the sample solution are in full contact, ensuring the stability of the test results. After the test, the electrode can be cleaned, thereby realizing the characteristics of fully automatic stirring and integrated detection, without the need for manual detection, and can meet the simultaneous detection of multiple samples, with the advantages of high degree of automation and high detection efficiency.

[0092] like Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting shaft 55 adopts a half-thread bolt, a reset spring 80 is provided in the guide hole 511, the head of the half-thread bolt is located outside the guide hole 511, and the threaded end of the half-thread bolt passes through the reset spring 80 and the guide hole 511 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the turntable mechanism.

[0093] Furthermore, the guide hole 511 is a stepped hole, and the diameter of the guide hole 511 increases gradually in a direction away from the turntable mechanism.

[0094] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that are not conceivable through creative work should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention; unless explicitly stated, any element, action or instruction used in this document should not be interpreted as critical or necessary.
