[0002] A spectrophotometer, also known as a spectrometer, is a scientific instrument that decomposes light with complex components into spectral lines. An ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument based on the principle of ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, which uses the absorption of radiation in the ultraviolet-visible spectral region by substance molecules for analysis, and mainly consists of components such as a light source, a monochromator, an absorption cell, a detector, and a signal processor.

[0003] The existing ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometers usually include a body. A detection cavity is provided in the body, a light source is arranged in the detection cavity, a cavity cover for covering the detection cavity is hinged on the body, a cuvette slot is arranged in the detection cavity, a plurality of square notches are provided on the cuvette slot, and square cuvettes with a shape adapted thereto can be placed in the notches.

[0004] During use, an operator inserts a cuvette containing a sample into the cuvette slot, then closes the cavity cover, and the body starts to test and analyze the sample in the detection cavity.

[0005] The above-mentioned existing technical solutions have the following defects: The cuvette slot and the cuvette sold on the market currently have a strong correspondence. Since the notches of the cuvette slot are fixed and unchangeable, it is difficult for a cuvette slot of one specification to hold cuvettes of multiple different specifications, thereby reducing the flexibility of use of the spectrophotometer. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer in order to enable a cuvette slot of one specification to hold cuvettes of multiple different specifications, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the spectrophotometer.

[0007] The above technical objectives of this application are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] An ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer includes a cuvette slot with notches, a first insertion plate and a second insertion plate arranged in the notches, and at least one first insertion plate is provided;

[0009] Three pairs of first slots for inserting the first insertion plate are provided on opposite inner walls of the notch, three pairs of second slots for inserting the second insertion plate are provided on the other opposite inner walls of the notch, both the first slots and the second slots are communicated with the end face of the notch, and the second insertion plate is detachably inserted on the first insertion plate.

At the same time, the positions of the first plug plate and the second plug plate in the cuvette slot can be adjusted according to the size of the cuvette, thereby forming receiving slots of different specifications, so as to adapt to cuvettes of different sizes for detection, thereby improving the use flexibility of the photometer.

[0011] Optionally, the edges of the first slot and the second slot at the connection points with the notch are processed to be arc-shaped.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped edge makes the slot opening of the slot expand, which is convenient for the staff to insert the plug plate into the slot, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the size of the accommodating slot according to the size of the cuvette.

[0013] Optionally, three first bayonet ports are spaced apart on the first plug board, and a second bayonet port is provided on the second plug board, and the second bayonet port can be engaged with the first bayonet port.

[0015] Optionally, the first bayonet opening and the second bayonet opening have two opposite edges that are processed into arc shapes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped edge forms a flared opening, thereby facilitating the plugging and locking of the plug boards with each other.

[0017] Optionally, when the second plug board is inserted into the slot, the second plug board protrudes from the slot.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the edge of the second plugging plate protruding from the slot is convenient for workers to insert and remove, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the receiving slot.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cuvette is stably placed in the receiving groove, the second insertion plate can be rotated and set at a position slightly larger than the size of the cuvette, and then the cuvette is placed in the receiving groove. When the cuvette is placed in the opening of the limiting plate and gravity is applied downward, the other end of the limiting plate automatically rotates and drives the elastic sheet to clamp the cuvette, so that a cuvette with a mismatched size can be used, further improving the applicability of the photometer.

[0022] Optionally, the elastic sheet is arc-shaped, and the arc opening faces the right-angle opening of the limiting plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0039] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] The embodiment of the present application discloses an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Referring to Figure 1 , the photometer includes a body 1, a detection cavity is opened inside the body, and a cuvette slot 2 is arranged in the detection cavity.

[0042] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3, the cuvette slot 2 is a strip slot, and a slot 21 is provided on the cuvette slot 2, and the slot 21 is strip-shaped. A first plugboard 3 and a second plugboard 4 are detachably installed in the slot 21. In this embodiment, three first plugboards 3 are provided, and one second plugboard 4 is provided. First slots 22 for the first plugboard 3 to be plugged in are provided in pairs on two inner walls opposite to each other in the length direction of the slot 21, and three pairs of first slots 22 are provided, and the three pairs of first slots 22 are evenly spaced along the width direction of the slot 21. Second slots 23 for the second plugboard 4 to be plugged in are provided in pairs on two inner walls opposite to each other in the width direction of the slot 21, and three pairs of second slots 23 are provided, and the three pairs of second slots 23 are evenly spaced, and the three pairs of second slots 23 are located in the middle of the slot 21. The first slot 22 and the second slot 23 are respectively connected to the end faces of the slot 21, and the edges of the first slot 22 and the second slot 23 at the connection points with the slot 21 are processed into arc shapes, so as to facilitate the staff to insert the plug board into the slot.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 The first plug board 3 is a strip-shaped board, and both ends of the first plug board 3 can be inserted into a pair of first slots 22 at the same time. Three first bayonet holes 31 for the second plug board 4 to be engaged are arranged at intervals on one side of the length direction of the first plug board 3, and the second plug board 4 can be engaged in the first bayonet holes 31. When the first plug board 3 is inserted into the pair of first slots 22, the length direction of the first plug board 3 is parallel to the length direction of the cuvette slot 2, and the three first bayonet holes 31 are respectively located on the same straight line with the three pairs of second slots 23.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The second plug board 4 is a strip-shaped board, and three second bayonet holes 41 are evenly spaced on the second plug board 4. The first plug board 3 can be clamped in the second bayonet holes 41, and the second bayonet holes 41 can be mutually clamped with the first bayonet holes 31. The edges of the openings of the first bayonet holes 31 and the second bayonet holes 41 are processed into arc shapes, so that the first bayonet holes 31 and the second bayonet holes 41 form an expanded shape, so that the staff can plug the first plug board 3 and the second plug board 4 together. When the second bayonet 41 is engaged with the first bayonet 31, the edge of the second plugboard 4 in the opening direction of the second bayonet 41 is flush with the edge of the first plugboard 3 away from the opening direction of the first bayonet 31, and both can fit into the bottom of the slot 21. When the second plugboard 4 fits into the bottom of the slot, the other side of the second plugboard 4 protrudes out of the slot 21. Therefore, when the second plugboard 4 is located in the slot 21, the second plugboard 4 protrudes out of one side of the slot 21, which makes it easy to plug and unplug the second plugboard 4 and to adjust the position of the second plugboard 4.

[0045] After the first plug board 3 and the second plug board 4 are mutually engaged and inserted into the notch 21, a plurality of square accommodation grooves are formed in the colorimetric cuvette slot 2, and colorimetric cuvettes can be placed in the accommodation grooves. At the same time, according to the size of the colorimetric cuvette, the positions of the first plug board 3 and the second plug board 4 in the colorimetric cuvette slot 2 can be adjusted, so as to form accommodation grooves of different specifications, so as to adapt to colorimetric cuvettes of different sizes for detection, and improve the use flexibility of the photometer.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0048] Refer to Figure 4 , a limiting component 5 is arranged on the same board surface of the second plug board 4. There are four groups of limiting components 5, and the four groups of limiting components 5 are respectively located on both sides of the second bayonet 41. The limiting component 5 includes two fixed seats 51 arranged at intervals and fixed on the board surface of the second plug board 4, a limiting plate 52 hinged between the two fixed seats 51, a spring piece 53 fixed on the limiting plate 52, and a support piece 54 fixed on the limiting plate 52.

[0049] Refer to Figure 4 , the fixed seat 51 is arranged at the edge of the board surface on one side of the second bayonet 41 communicating with the length direction of the second plug board 4. The limiting plate 52 is L-shaped, and fixing shafts are respectively and fixedly arranged on both sides of the L-shaped bending part of the limiting plate 52. The two fixing shafts are respectively rotatably arranged in the two fixed seats 51, and the fixing shafts are located on the side of the fixed seat 51 away from the second plug board 4. The right-angle opening of the limiting plate 52 faces away from the opening direction of the second bayonet 41.

[0050] Refer to Figure 4 , the spring piece 53 is made of a metal sheet. One end of the spring piece 53 is fixedly connected to a section of the limiting plate 52 close to the second plug board 4, and the other end of the spring piece 53 is arranged at an interval from the limiting plate 52. The spring piece 53 is located in the right-angle opening of the limiting plate 52 and on the board surface of the limiting plate 52 facing away from the second plug board 4. The spring piece 53 is arc-shaped and the arc opening faces the right-angle opening of the limiting plate 52. In this embodiment, two spring pieces 53 are arranged at intervals on one limiting plate 52, and the two spring pieces 53 can form a stable abutment against the colorimetric cuvette.

[0051] Refer to Figure 4 , at least two support pieces 54 are arranged. In this embodiment, the support piece 54 is a spring. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to a section of the limiting plate 52 away from the spring piece 53 and is located outside the right-angle opening. The other end of the support piece 54 can abut against the bottom of the notch 21.
