Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid mixing equipment, in particular to a simple liquid density mixer. Background Art

[0002] A liquid density mixer is an instrument used to accurately measure and mix the mixing ratios of liquids with different densities. Currently, most density experimental instruments on the market are liquid densitometers. In comparison, there are fewer liquid density mixing instruments. In geological dating research, scientific researchers need to use heavy liquids with different densities (such as lithium polytungstate, density range 2.62 - 2.75 g / cm 3 ) to separate quartz and feldspar.

[0003] During the process of mixing heavy liquids with this density, first, it is not easy to grasp the proportional relationship between the two heavy liquids with different densities during the mixing process. It mainly relies on empirical operation, which is inaccurate and may also result in unsuccessful mixing, greatly affecting the experimental results. Second, the specific gravity meter has a large range and is expensive, making it difficult to purchase. Moreover, it is made of glass and is fragile during the mixing process of heavy liquids. Third, the heavy liquid is expensive, and the broken specific gravity meter will also contaminate the heavy liquid. Fourth, manually mixing the specific gravity liquid is labor-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above considerations, using a liquid mixing instrument has become the best choice in geological research. However, the existing types of mixing instruments are few, expensive, and it is not easy to meet the requirement of a large amount of liquid to be mixed for geological samples. Therefore, the applicant designed this simple liquid density mixer. Summary of the Utility Model

[0035] The capacity of the conical flask 9 is 25 mL or 50 mL. The conical flask 9 is used to hold the liquid used in the preparation taken out by the small pipette 22 or the liquid sampled and detected after the preparation.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] Step 1: Place the first beakers 2 containing pure water, liquid A, and liquid B, the second beaker 13 for holding the prepared liquid, and three empty conical flasks 9 in the designated positions. The conical flasks 9 are placed on the placement table 7.

[0038] Step 2: Start the motor 17 to drive the placement table 7 to rotate, rotate the conical flask 9D into place, monitor with the detection camera 30, and use the first electric guide rail 11, the cylinder 16 and the clamping assembly 18 to cooperate to place the empty conical flask 9D at the electronic balance 6. After weighing, the data of the electronic balance 6 is reset to zero.

[0039] Step 3: Through the controller 8, control the automated pipetting workstation 1 to start the small pipette 22 corresponding to the first beaker 2 containing liquid A, aspirate 20 mL of liquid A into the conical flask 9D, and read the mass on the electronic balance 6. Aspirate the liquid away again and move it back to the container of liquid A. The control program calculates the density of liquid A based on the mass and volume.

[0040] Step 4: Repeat the operations in Step 2 and Step 3. Place the conical flask 9E on the electronic balance 6, move the small pipette 22 corresponding to the first beaker 2 of liquid B to aspirate liquid B into the conical flask 9E, and obtain the density of liquid B.

[0041] Step 5: Input the target density and volume into the controller 8 to enable the program to automatically calculate the volumes of liquid A, liquid B, and high-purity water required respectively.

[0042] Step 6: Start the large pipettes 21 corresponding to the first beakers 2 containing liquid A, B, and high-purity water respectively to extract liquid A, B, and high-purity water. The first electric guide rail 11 moves the automated pipetting workstation 1 to transfer the extracted liquids into the second beaker 13 for automatic proportioning. After the proportioning is completed, the ultrasonic generator 12 emits ultrasonic waves through the ultrasonic transducer 25 via the connecting wire 15 and transmits them to the second beaker 13 to make the liquids in the second beaker 13 mix evenly.

[0043] Step 7: After completion, the first electric guide rail 11 moves the automated pipetting workstation 1 again. Use the small pipette 22 above the second beaker 13 to pipette some of the liquid therein, and use the clamping assembly 18 to place the conical flask 9 named F on the electronic balance 6, weigh it and set it to zero. The small pipette 22 pipettes some of the liquid into the conical flask 9 named F, weigh it, and calculate the density of the target liquid to verify whether the density of the proportioning meets the standard. If it meets the standard, the proportioning is completed. If it does not meet the standard, check each step, replace the container, and re-proportion.

[0044] Step 8: Finally, clean the containers. Use the small pipette above the first beaker 2 containing high-purity water to pipette high-purity water into the three conical flasks 9, then use the waste liquid pipe to suck it out and place it in the hollow storage table 7. It can be cleaned multiple times. The pipettes used above the first beakers 2 containing liquid A and B and the second beaker 13 containing the prepared liquid also need to aspirate high-purity water for cleaning and release it into the storage table 7. The liquid in the storage table 7 can flow into other collection containers through the faucet 28 to complete the recovery of the liquid.

[0045] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
