Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic stirrers, and specifically relates to a temperature probe bracket for a magnetic stirrer. Background Art

[0002] Magnetic stirrers are mainly used for stirring or simultaneously heating and stirring low-viscosity chemical liquids or solid-liquid mixtures. They drive a magnetic stir bar placed in a container to rotate in a circular motion through a magnetic field, thereby achieving the purpose of stirring the liquid. The temperature probe bracket is an important part of the magnetic stirrer system, and it is mainly used to fix the temperature probe to ensure that the temperature sensor can accurately measure and feedback the actual temperature of the solution.

[0003] Most of the existing temperature probe brackets adopt manual and mechanical adjustment methods, such as knobs, levers, etc., to control the lifting of the temperature probe. This operation method is not only cumbersome, but also significantly reduces the work efficiency and increases the burden on the operator when frequent adjustments are required during the experiment.

[0021] The principles and features of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Embodiment 1, a temperature probe bracket for a magnetic stirrer, includes a hollow plate 1. A rectangular slider 2 that penetrates to its front is slidably installed inside the hollow plate 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the hollow plate 1. A motor 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 3. A threaded rod 5 that penetrates into the hollow plate 1 and the rectangular slider 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom output end of the motor 4. The threaded rod 5 is rotatably installed inside the hollow plate 1. The threaded rod 5 is in threaded connection with the rectangular slider 2. A support arm 6 is fixedly installed in front of the rectangular slider 2. An installation cylinder 7 is fixedly installed in front of the support arm 6. A rubber cylinder 8 that penetrates to its bottom is slidably installed on the top of the installation cylinder 7. A temperature probe 9 is movably installed inside the rubber cylinder 8. A gesture recognition sensor 10 is fixedly installed in front of the installation cylinder 7. A PLC controller 11 that is electrically connected to the gesture recognition sensor 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the support arm 6. The PLC controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 4.

[0023] During use, first insert the temperature probe 9 into the rubber cylinder 8 from top to bottom. Then insert the rubber cylinder 8 into the installation cylinder 7. As the rubber cylinder 8 descends, the temperature probe 9 can be squeezed and fixed. Then the motor 4 drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate forward and backward, which can force the rectangular slider 2 to drive the temperature probe 9 in front of the support arm 6 to rise and fall. When the temperature probe 9 descends into the solution in the bath pot at the top of the magnetic stirrer, the temperature of the solution can be measured. After the temperature measurement is completed, wave your palm in front of the gesture recognition sensor 10. The gesture recognition sensor 10 captures the movement trajectory, posture or position change of the palm and converts this information into an electrical signal and transmits it to the PLC controller 11. The PLC controller 11 receives the signal and after processing, it can send a control instruction to the motor 4, so that the device can control the rise and fall of the temperature probe 9 through gestures, thus significantly improving the convenience of the device during use.

[0024] Embodiment 2, this embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, and the specific details are as follows:

[0025] On the outer wall of the temperature probe 9, two circular grooves 12 are provided near its bottom. An insertion cylinder 13 is sleeved outside the temperature probe 9 near its bottom. The outside of the insertion cylinder 13 is a circular cylinder-shaped hollow structure. Inside the insertion cylinder 13, a round head column 14 that penetrates into the two circular grooves 12 is slidably installed. Inside the insertion cylinder 13, an internal spring 15 sleeved outside the two round head columns 14 is fixedly installed.

[0026] When the two internal springs 15 expand, they can push the two round head columns 14 into the inside of the insertion cylinder 13. After the insertion cylinder 13 is sleeved outside the temperature probe 9, the two round head columns 14 will snap into the two circular grooves 12. At this time, the insertion cylinder 13 is restricted outside the temperature probe 9. When the insertion cylinder 13 is pulled downward, the two round head columns 14 will be forced to squeeze the two internal springs 15 outward, and then the insertion cylinder 13 can be removed.

[0027] Embodiment 3. This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiments 1-3, and the specific content is as follows:

[0028] At the bottom of the insertion cylinder 13, a bottom spring 16 is fixedly installed. At the bottom of the bottom spring 16, a striker 17 that penetrates into its inside is fixedly installed. Inside the insertion cylinder 13, a pressure sensor 18 is fixedly installed near its bottom. The pressure sensor 18 is electrically connected to the support arm 6.

[0029] When the temperature probe 9 descends, it will drive the insertion cylinder 13 and the bottom spring 16 to descend. When the bottom spring 16 descends and contacts the inner cavity bottom of the bath pot, it will push the striker 17 upward. When the striker 17 hits the bottom of the pressure sensor 18, the pressure sensor 18 will transmit a signal to the PLC controller 11. Subsequently, the PLC controller 11 will control the motor 4 to stop running, and at this time, the temperature probe 9 will no longer descend.

[0030] Embodiment 4. This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, and the specific content is as follows:

[0031] At the bottom of the support plate 3, a vertical bar 19 in front of the hollow plate 1 is fixedly installed. The support arm 6 is slidably installed outside the vertical bar 19.

[0032] By installing the vertical bar 19, the support arm 6 can be restricted to stably lift in front of the hollow plate 1.

[0033] Embodiment 5. This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiments 1-5, and the specific content is as follows:

[0034] At the bottom of the hollow plate 1 and the vertical bar 19, an external connection plate 20 is fixedly installed. At the top of the external connection plate 20, four fastening bolts 21 that penetrate to its bottom are threadedly installed.

[0035] The external plate 20 and the structure on its top can be fixed to the magnetic stirrer by four fastening bolts 21.

[0036] Embodiment 6 is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, and the specific content is as follows:

[0037] The inner diameter of the top of the installation cylinder 7 is larger than that of its bottom, and the rubber cylinder 8 fits with the installation cylinder 7, which is convenient for the rubber cylinder 8 to be inserted into the interior of the installation cylinder 7.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
