Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pure water system for a laboratory, in particular to the structure of the pure water system for a laboratory. Background Art

[0002] In biological and chemical experiments in research institutes, universities, and factories, a large amount of pure water is needed. For example, pure water is required for reagent preparation, sample extraction, vessel washing, analytical testing, and biological culture. Therefore, pure water is an indispensable and important resource in every link of the experiment. Pure water is usually produced by a water purifier.

[0003] In existing laboratories, due to the lack of dedicated pure water storage equipment, pure water produced by water purifiers is usually discharged through water pipes into temporary water buckets for storage. The water in the temporary water buckets is then pumped out for use in experiments. The water inlet of the temporary water buckets is usually large. When the water pipe is inserted into the temporary water buckets, and there is no dedicated person to supervise the production of pure water by the water purifier, the water in the temporary water buckets is usually not discovered until it overflows. If pure water enters the experimental equipment, it will cause equipment damage. If pure water enters the reagents or samples, it will cause waste and lead to laboratory contamination. In addition, when the pure water in the temporary water buckets is exhausted, it cannot be discovered in time, and it is necessary to wait for the water purifier to produce enough pure water before using it, which wastes time and affects the normal progress of the experiment.

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the problem that when pure water is produced and stored in an existing laboratory, the pure water in the bucket overflows and the pure water is exhausted and cannot be discovered in time. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a laboratory pure water system comprising a housing 1, a water purifier 2, and a controller 3. The housing 1 is provided with a water inlet 11 and a vent 12 at the top, a water outlet 13 at the bottom, a water storage chamber 14 formed therein, and a liquid level gauge 15 disposed within the housing 1. The water purifier 2 is in communication with the water inlet 11 of the housing 1 via a water inlet pipe 21. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the water purifier 2 and the liquid level gauge 15, respectively, and is configured to control the water purifier 2 to produce pure water when the pure water level within the housing 1 is low, and to stop producing pure water when the pure water level within the housing 1 is high.

[0006] The utility model sets a liquid level gauge 15 in the box body 1, connects the pure water machine 2 with the water inlet 11 of the box body 1 through the water inlet pipe 21, and the controller 3 is electrically connected to the pure water machine 2 and the liquid level gauge 15 respectively. When the liquid level of pure water in the box body 1 is low, the pure water machine 2 can be controlled to produce pure water, and when the liquid level of pure water in the box body 1 is high, the production of pure water can be stopped, so that a certain amount of pure water is always maintained in the box body 1, and the pure water is prevented from overflowing into the experimental equipment when the pure water machine 2 produces pure water, causing damage to the experimental equipment or pure water entering the reagents and samples to cause laboratory contamination, and it is prevented from not being discovered in time when the pure water is exhausted, and waiting for temporary production of pure water when using it, which wastes time and affects the normal progress of the experiment.

[0007] Preferably, a filter cover 121 is provided on the vent 12. The filter cover 121 is cylindrical, with one end connected to the vent 12 by a thread, and the other end provided with a filter. The provision of the filter cover 121 on the vent 12 and the filter provided on the filter cover 121 prevent impurities from entering and affecting water quality. The threaded connection between the filter cover 121 and the vent 12 facilitates assembly and disassembly, and allows for easy cleaning of the filter.

[0008] Preferably, a low water level alarm device 4 is further included. A box body 16 is provided on the top of the box body 1. The low water level alarm device 4 includes a low water level switch 41, a low water level guide cylinder 42, a low water level float 43, a low water level connecting rod 44 and a low water level alarm 45. The low water level switch 41 is a normally open switch and is fixedly provided in the box body 16 at the bottom of the box body 16. The low water level guide cylinder 42 is vertically provided in the box body 16, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the top surface of the box body 1.

[0009] A low-water-level connecting rod 44 is vertically mounted, with its upper end positioned within the housing 16. A pin 441 is attached to the end of the rod, extending above the low-water-level switch 41. Its lower end extends through the low-water-level guide cylinder 42 and the top surface of the housing 1 into the water storage chamber 14. A low-water-level float 43 is fixed to the lower end of the rod 44. A low-water-level alarm 45 is connected to a power source via the low-water-level switch 41. The length of the rod 44 is configured so that when the pure water level within the housing 1 falls below 10%, gravity forces the pin 441 on the rod 44 to press the low-water-level switch 41, closing it.

[0010] A low water level alarm device 4 is provided so that the upper end of the low water level connecting rod 44 is located in the box body 16, a thimble 441 is provided at the end, and the lower end extends into the water storage chamber 14. A low water level float 43 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the low water level connecting rod 44, and a low water level alarm 45 is connected to the power supply through a low water level switch 41. When the liquid level of pure water in the box body 1 is lower than 10%, the low water level float 43 causes the thimble 441 on the low water level connecting rod 44 to press the low water level switch 41 under the action of gravity to close the low water level switch, causing the low water level alarm 45 to sound an alarm. This can prevent the pure water from being insufficient due to equipment failure such as the liquid level meter 15, the controller 3 or the pure water machine 2, and remind the staff to discover and deal with it in time.

[0011] Preferably, a high water level alarm device 5 is also included, which includes a high water level switch 51, a high water level guide cylinder 52, a high water level float 53, a high water level connecting rod 54 and a high water level alarm 55.

A high-water-level float 53 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the low-water-level connecting rod 44, and a high-water-level alarm 55 is connected to a power source via the high-water-level switch 51. The length of the high-water-level connecting rod 54 is set so that when the pure water level within the housing 1 exceeds 95%, the buoyancy of the high-water-level float 53 causes the upper end of the high-water-level connecting rod 54 to press against the high-water-level switch 51, closing it.

[0013] A high water level alarm device 5 is provided so that the upper end of the high water level connecting rod 54 is located in the box body 16 and the lower end extends into the water storage chamber 14. The high water level float 53 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the high water level connecting rod 54. The high water level alarm 55 is connected to the power supply through the high water level switch 51. When the liquid level of pure water in the box body 1 is higher than 95%, the high water level float 53 causes the ejector pin 441 on the high water level connecting rod 54 to press the high water level switch 51 to close it under the action of buoyancy, so that the high water level alarm 55 sounds an alarm. This can prevent the pure water amount from being too large due to equipment failure such as the liquid level meter 15, the controller 3 or the pure water machine 2, and remind the staff to discover and deal with it in time.
