Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of laboratory auxiliary tools, and in particular, relates to a high-viscosity liquid pouring auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of cosmetics research and development, some dense, viscous and high-viscosity liquids are often used, such as gels, thickeners, and high-molecular-weight water-polymers, which flow slower than low-viscosity liquids such as water. Because all real fluids in nature are viscous fluids and have viscous stress, when two adjacent layers of fluid slide or shear deform relative to each other, due to the interaction between fluid molecules, shear stress that prevents the relative sliding or shear deformation of the fluid will be generated in the opposite direction. When the viscosity and relative sliding speed are both large, the viscous stress is also relatively large, and the corresponding flow speed is relatively slow.

[0003] In actual research and development, experimenters often need to sample and package various experimental raw liquids from larger containers. During the operation, experimenters need to hold large containers and pour them into small containers. Because large containers are large in volume and most experimental raw liquids are high-viscosity liquids, the pouring process is relatively slow. When the number of packaging is large, it will take experimenters a long time to operate, which is labor-intensive and has low experimental efficiency. Summary of the invention

In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0032] In the process of cosmetics research and development, gels, thickeners, high molecular weight polyhydrates, etc. are frequently used raw material solutions. They all have one thing in common: they are dense, sticky, high-viscosity liquids that flow slowly. In actual operations, it is often necessary to sample and package various experimental stock solutions from larger containers. The general packaging method is that the experimenter holds the large container to be poured into a small container. However, the large container is large in size, and the experimental stock solution is mostly a high-viscosity liquid. The pouring process is relatively slow. When the number of packaging is large, this pouring method is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0033] Based on this, the present application makes improvements and innovations and proposes the following embodiments.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The present application provides a high-viscosity liquid pouring auxiliary device, comprising: a bracket 1 and a barrel 2; the barrel 2 is a columnar container with a cavity and an opening at one end; the barrel 2 is provided with at least one connecting end 21 fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and the barrel 2 can rotate relative to the bracket 1 through the connecting end 21;

[0035] A pouring spout 22 is provided on the barrel body 2, and the pouring spout 22 is roughly in the shape of a cone with a cross-sectional area gradually increasing or decreasing toward one end. The end of the pouring spout 22 with a larger cross-sectional area is connected to the barrel body 2; a diverter nozzle 23 is fixedly provided at the end of the pouring spout 22 with a smaller cross-sectional area; the diverter nozzle 23 is composed of at least one capillary 231; the inner wall of the capillary 231 is provided with a super-hydrophobic coating.

[0036] Among them, the superhydrophobic surface is composed of tiny bumps, which can trap air in the coating, that is, there is approximately a layer of air cushion between the coating surface and the droplet; the superhydrophobic coating itself does not speed up the flow of high-viscosity liquids, but when the droplets are confined in a very narrow tube, the superhydrophobic coating on the tube wall forms a small air gap between the inner wall of the tube and the outside of the droplet. Since the high-viscosity liquid will not penetrate into the coating, the air gap is larger. This larger air gap allows the high-viscosity liquid to pass through the tube faster than the low-viscosity liquid when flowing under gravity.

[0037] Furthermore, by providing a bracket 1 and a barrel body 2 mounted on the bracket 1 and capable of relative rotation with the bracket 1, when the barrel body 2 rotates around the connection end 21, the high-viscosity liquid in the barrel body 2 can be drained into the pouring port 22; and then the high-viscosity liquid is poured out through the diverter nozzle 23 at the end of the pouring port 22, and the flow speed of the high-viscosity liquid in the capillary 231 of the diverter nozzle 23 is several times faster than that of the low-viscosity liquid. Therefore, this embodiment can speed up the pouring speed of the high-viscosity liquid, reduce the labor intensity of the experimenter, and improve the experimental efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 includes a column 11, a base 12, a rotating shaft 13 and a fixing frame 14; the column 11 is fixedly connected to the base 12; the fixing frame 14 is fixedly connected to the column 11; and both ends of the rotating shaft 13 are rotatably connected to the connecting end 21 and the fixing frame 14 respectively. The column 11 and the base 12 can be integrally formed or connected by fasteners to support the entire device; a positioning hole for the fixing frame 14 to be installed and limited is opened on the column 11, and the fixing frame 14 is installed in the positioning hole and fixed by fasteners; the connecting end 21 and the fixing frame 14 are adjacent to each other. The side is provided with a mounting groove for the rotating shaft 13 to be radially abutted and limited, so that the connecting end 21 and the fixing frame 14 can rotate relative to each other along the rotating shaft 13, thereby realizing the relative rotation of the barrel body 2 and the bracket 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the barrel body 2 and the bracket 1 are detachably connected. The fixing frame 14 and the column 11 can be separated by disassembling the fasteners between the fixing frame 14 and the column 11; and the rotating shaft 13 and the connecting end 21 and the fixing frame 14 are separated to realize the detachable connection between the barrel body 2 and the bracket 1; after the barrel body 2 and the bracket 1 are separated independently, it is convenient to clean the barrel body 2 or to inspect and replace the parts of each part.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bracket 1 further includes a stopper 15 and a first stop switch 16 for controlling the movement of the stopper 15; the stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 are both mounted on the fixing frame 14, and the stopper 15 is located on a side of the fixing frame 14 adjacent to the connecting end 21. The stopper 15 can be controlled to slide relatively on the fixing frame 14 by the first stop switch 16. When the first stop switch 16 does not control the stopper 15, the stopper 15 slides in a direction away from the fixing frame 14 and finally abuts against the connecting end 21, thereby fixing the rotation angle of the barrel body 2; when the first stop switch 16 controls the stopper 15, the stopper 15 slides in a direction close to the fixing frame 14 and separates from the connecting end 21, so that the barrel body 2 can rotate normally; therefore, the stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 can be set to limit the rotation of the barrel body 2, assist the pause of the barrel body 2 during the dumping process, and reduce the labor intensity of the experimenter.

[0041] Specifically, the stopper 15 can be made of elastic wear-resistant materials such as nylon pads and rubber pads.

[0042] Furthermore, the stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 can be mechanically connected or electrically connected. The stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 can be a mechanical linkage structure, such as the stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 are fixedly connected with a compression spring, and a lever component is connected between the two springs. When the first stop switch 16 is squeezed, the stopper 15 will slide in the direction opposite to the force direction of the first stop switch 16 at the same time, that is, when the first stop switch 16 is pressed, the stopper 15 will slide in the direction close to the fixed frame 14, and then separate from the connection end 21; similarly, the stopper 15 and the first stop switch 16 can also be an electrical linkage structure, that is, the stopper 15 is fixedly connected with an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the first stop switch 16 is the control unit of the electric cylinder or the pneumatic cylinder. Different connection forms can meet different production experiment requirements.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The barrel body 2 is also provided with a handle 24, which is fixedly connected to the barrel body 2 and is located on the outer wall of the barrel body 2; the barrel body 2 can be driven to rotate relative to the bracket 1 by pulling the handle 24. The handle 24 is provided to facilitate the experimenter to rotate the barrel body 2 when pouring high-viscosity liquid, which is convenient and labor-saving while avoiding the contact between the hands and the inner wall of the barrel body 2 to cause sliding or contamination.

[0044] In some embodiments, a second stop switch 25 is further provided on the barrel body 2, and the second stop switch 25 is fixedly connected to the handle 24, and the second stop switch 25 is electrically connected to the stop plate 15. By providing the second stop switch 25, it is convenient for the experimenter to pull the handle 24 with one hand to rotate the barrel body 2, and control the stop plate 15 to fix the barrel body 2 according to the tipping situation, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.

[0045] In some embodiments, the high-viscosity liquid pouring auxiliary device of the present application further includes a liquid level display component 3; the liquid level display component 3 is installed on the base 12. The liquid level display component may include a display screen, an electronic scale or a pressure sensor electrically connected to the display screen, and the real-time weight of the bracket and the barrel detected by the electronic scale or the pressure sensor is displayed on the display screen. When using the device to pour high-viscosity liquid, the experimenter can understand the pouring and packaging status of the original liquid in real time through the display screen, which is convenient for controlling the experimental process.

[0046] In some embodiments, the support 1 is further provided with a support platform 17, which is fixedly connected to the base 12. The support platform 17 can be used to place small-sized containers for subpackaging. The support platform 17 can be provided for placing and positioning small-sized subpackaging containers to avoid leakage due to misalignment during pouring.

[0047] The specific implementation of the present application is as follows: when not pouring, the barrel body 2 is fixed by the bracket 1 and its own gravity to maintain a vertical suspended state, and at the same time, the connection end 21 is pressed and fixed by the stopper 15; when it is necessary to pour and pack the high-viscosity liquid, the original liquid is poured into the barrel body 2, and the small-sized containers to be packed are placed on the tray; by controlling the first stop switch 16 or the second stop switch 25, the stopper 15 slides into the fixing frame 14 and separates from the connection end 21, and then the handle 24 is pulled to drive the barrel body 2 to rotate around the rotating shaft 13, and the barrel body 2 is rotated. The original liquid in the body 2 will flow into the pouring port 22 as the barrel body 2 rotates, and finally quickly pass through the capillary 231 of the diverter nozzle 23 and accurately flow into the small-sized sub-packaging container; during the pouring process, the first stop switch 16 or the second stop switch 25 is released, and the stop plate 15 can assist the barrel body 2 to maintain the current pouring angle, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the experimenter; after the pouring is completed, the first stop switch 16 or the second stop switch 25 is controlled again and the barrel body 2 is reset with the handle. In summary, the present application can improve the pouring speed of high-viscosity liquids and improve the efficiency of the experiment.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present application.

[0049] The above are only optional embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
