When the water sample flows out, it is transferred to another container for use. The following problems exist in the actual application of this method: the rubber hose is light and soft, so it is easy to shake and slip out of the container during use; when the water flow flows out and is transferred to the container, the water flow rate cannot be controlled and the hose cannot be immediately inserted into the bottom of the container, which causes bubbles to be generated during the dilution process and affects the dissolved oxygen content of the water sample; parallel samples cannot be made simultaneously, and the influence of random factors on the measurement cannot be effectively reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] As Figure 1 shown, a BOD dilution and stabilization device includes a base 1, on which a measuring cylinder 2 and a vertical column 3 are provided. A three-way connecting pipe 4 is fixedly provided on the vertical column 3. The horizontal port of the three-way connecting pipe 4 is communicated with the measuring cylinder 2 through a liquid suction soft catheter 7. Double-ball tubes 6 are provided at the two vertical ports of the three-way connecting pipe 4, and the ends of the double-ball tubes 6 are communicated with a dissolved oxygen bottle 10 through soft catheters 8. With this structure, the three-way connecting pipe 4 and the soft catheter 8 are connected through the double-ball tubes 6. The double-ball tubes are used to store a sufficient amount of water sample. First, the rubber bulb sucks air at the outlet end of the previous soft catheter 8, and siphon makes the connection end of the soft catheter 8 and the three-way connecting pipe 4 filled with water sample. This water sample can be used as a water seal to resist the gas fluctuation in the pipe and prevent gas from entering when the rubber bulb sucks air at the outlet end of the latter soft catheter 8; when the two valves 9 are opened, the water samples in the two soft catheters 8 and their connection ends with the three-way connecting pipe 4 flow into the corresponding dissolved oxygen bottles 10, forming a negative pressure around the soft catheters 8 and having a sealing effect. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the water in the measuring cylinder 2 is more smoothly siphoned into the dissolved oxygen bottle 10.

[0017] Preferably, a sliding three-jaw clamp 5 is provided on the vertical column 3, and the three-jaw clamp 5 is connected to the vertical column 3 through a cross clamp 12;

[0018] The three-jaw clamp 5 is fixedly connected to the three-way connecting pipe 4. With this structure, the three-way connecting pipe 4 is installed on the vertical column 3 through the three-jaw clamp 5 and the cross clamp 12, and the height can be slidably adjusted to adapt to the height of the measuring cylinder 2.

[0019] Preferably, a valve 9 is provided in the middle of the soft catheter 8. With this structure, the valve 9 is used to control the on-off of the soft catheter 8. Connecting the valve 9 on the three-way connecting pipe 4 can realize the simultaneous preparation of parallel samples and avoid the generation of bubbles.

[0020] Preferably, a groove is provided on the outer side of the horizontal port of the three-way connecting pipe 4, and the end of the liquid suction flexible conduit 7 is sleeved on the groove and fixedly connected through a clamp. With this structure, the groove structure ensures a reliable connection and prevents the flexible hose from falling off.

[0021] Preferably, an outer groove is provided at the end of the double-ball pipe 6, and the end of the flexible conduit 8 is sleeved on the groove and fixedly connected through a clamp. With this structure, the groove structure ensures a reliable connection and prevents the flexible hose from falling off.

[0022] Preferably, a counterweight pipe 11 is fixedly provided at the end of the liquid suction flexible conduit 7, and the counterweight pipe 11 is located inside the measuring cylinder 2. With this structure, the end of the liquid suction flexible conduit 7 can be positioned below the liquid level through the counterweight pipe 11.

[0023] Preferably, a counterweight pipe 11 is fixedly provided at the end of the flexible conduit 8, and the counterweight pipe 11 is located inside the dissolved oxygen bottle 10.

[0024] One side of the base 1 of the iron stand is a high platform, which is used to increase the liquid level height difference between the measuring cylinder 2 and the dissolved oxygen bottle 10, and promote the smooth siphoning of the water sample in the measuring cylinder 2 into the dissolved oxygen bottle 10.

[0025] Test principle:

[0026] Place the measuring cylinder 2 containing the diluted water sample on the base 1 of the iron stand. After adjusting the cross clamp 12 to slide on the upright column 3 to a suitable height and fixing it, install the three-way connecting pipe 4 on the cross clamp 12 through the three-jaw clamp 5, and place the liquid suction flexible conduit 7 at one end of the three-way connecting pipe 4 into the measuring cylinder 2; open the first valve and close the second valve. Align the rubber suction bulb with the outlet of the first flexible conduit, suck it up and then take it away. If the water does not flow out, repeat this operation. When the water flows out normally, close the first valve and place the flexible conduit into the dissolved oxygen bottle 10; then open the second valve, and also use the rubber suction bulb to suck out the liquid by aligning it with the outlet of the second flexible conduit, and then close the second valve; open both valves 9, and the water sample flows out from the flexible conduits into the two dissolved oxygen bottles 10 respectively. After filling, close the valves.
