[0033] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] In a typical embodiment of the present application, a portable gas chromatograph is provided, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a gas chromatograph body 1, and a retractable walking component 2 is provided on the rear side of the gas chromatograph body 1. The walking component 2 includes two grooves 201 opened on the rear side of the gas chromatograph body, and a vertical fixed shaft 202 is fixedly installed between the upper and lower inner walls of the groove 201. The outer wall of the fixed shaft 202 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 203, and the end of the connecting block 203 away from the fixed shaft 202 is rotatably connected to a roller 204; a positioning rod 205 is inserted into the side of the connecting block 203, and the fixed shaft 202 is provided with at least two jacks for inserting the positioning rod in the direction toward the positioning rod and perpendicular to the positioning rod.

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 3As shown, in this embodiment, two grooves 201 are provided at the same height at the bottom of the rear side of the gas chromatograph body 1. A fixed shaft 202 is secured within the grooves by welding. A rotation groove 3 is provided through the top of the connecting block 203. The fixed shaft 202 is positioned within the rotation groove 3, and the connecting block 203 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 202 via the rotation groove 3. A friction sleeve 4 is mounted on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 202. The outer wall of the friction sleeve 4 mates with the inner wall of the rotation groove 3. The friction sleeve 4 has a notch that matches the socket 208 and allows the positioning rod to be inserted. The rotation groove 3 allows the fixed shaft 202 to be rotatably connected to the connecting block 203. The friction sleeve 4 increases the friction between the connecting block 203 and the fixed shaft 202, preventing the connecting block from rotating spontaneously without manual operation. This ensures a more stable connection between the connecting block and the fixed shaft, thereby improving the stability of the roller when it is stored.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a positioning rod 205 is inserted into the side of the connecting block 203 facing the groove opening. A limit block 206 is installed on the end of the positioning rod 205 away from the connecting block. A tension spring 207 is installed between the limit block 206 and the connecting block 203, which is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 205. This facilitates the insertion of the positioning rod into the socket and prevents the positioning rod from being separated from the connecting block. In this embodiment, two sockets 208 are provided, one on the front side and the left side of the fixed shaft 202. The sockets can be blind holes or through holes. When the positioning rod 205 is inserted into the sockets, it connects the connecting block to the fixed shaft, limiting the rotation of the connecting block.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the walking assembly can also be set on the front of the gas chromatograph body, or the walking assembly can be installed on both the front and back sides to facilitate pushing or pulling when moving in different directions, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0040] In this embodiment, a through slot 6 is formed through one side of the connecting block 203, communicating with the interior of the movable slot 5. A connecting shaft 7 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the through slot 6. The axial hole of the roller 204 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 7, thereby enabling the roller to rotate relative to the connecting block. A movable slot 5 is formed at one end of the connecting block where the roller is mounted, and the roller is positioned within the movable slot, which limits the rotation of the roller.

[0041] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, one end of the connecting block 203 is provided with a movable groove 5, and the roller 204 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 5. The width of the movable groove 5 is greater than the width of the roller 204, and the diameter of the roller is less than the height of the groove 201. The provision of the movable groove 5 facilitates the subsequent rotation of the roller 204 on the connecting block 203, avoiding the problem of the connecting block 203 limiting the rotation of the roller 204. A through groove 6 is provided on one side of the connecting block 203, which is connected to the interior of the movable groove 5. The inner wall of the through groove 6 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 7. The axial hole of the roller 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 7. By providing the through groove to install the connecting shaft 7, the connecting shaft and the roller are rotatably connected, and the roller is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting block. The connecting shaft 7 can be fixedly connected to the through groove 6 by welding.

[0042] In addition, a rubber sleeve 8 is installed on the outer wall of the roller 204, and an annular cavity is integrally formed inside the rubber sleeve 8. The annular cavity is tightly attached to the outer wall of the roller. By setting the rubber sleeve 8, the friction between the roller 204 and the ground is increased, which has an anti-slip effect and a buffering effect.

[0043] For ease of use, a pull ring 14 is mounted on the outer wall of the limit block 206. The pull ring 14 is integrally formed with multiple rounded corners. The pull ring 14 facilitates manual pulling of the limit block 206, making operation more convenient and quick. Pulling the limit block 206 causes the positioning rod 205 to slide on the connecting block 203 and disengage from one of the sockets 208 on the fixed shaft 202, thereby facilitating rotation of the connecting block 203. The elastic reset principle of the tension spring 207 facilitates insertion of the positioning rod 205 into the other socket 208, making it easier to store the roller in the groove or remove the roller from the groove. After the roller is removed from the groove, the gas chromatograph body 1 can be tilted backward and the roller 204 can be used to move the gas chromatograph. When the roller is stored in the groove, it does not increase the space occupied by the gas chromatograph body 1, making the gas chromatograph body both easy to move and convenient to install and use.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 5 As shown, two rectangular grooves 9 are provided on the upper rear side of the gas chromatograph body 1, and a connecting rod 10 is installed between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the rectangular groove 9. The outer wall of the connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 11, and a threaded hole is provided on one side of the sleeve 11, through which a handle 12 is threadedly connected, and the inner end of the handle 12 is in conflict with the outer wall of the connecting rod 10, and the handle can be rotated to make it contact with or away from the connecting rod.

[0045] In this embodiment, an anti-slip sleeve 13 is coaxially installed on the outer wall of the handle 12, and the outer surface of the anti-slip sleeve 13 is processed with integrally formed anti-slip particles. By providing the anti-slip sleeve 13, hard contact between the human hand and the handle 12 can be avoided, thereby improving the user's comfort in the process of grasping the handle 12. By providing the anti-slip particles, the friction between the human hand and the anti-slip sleeve 13 is increased, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of slipping from the hand. The handle 12 on the sleeve 11 is rotated by hand so that the handle 12 contacts or moves away from the outer wall of the connecting rod 10, thereby facilitating the handle 12 to be located in the rectangular groove 9 or to be taken out of the rectangular groove 9. After taking the handle 12 out of the rectangular groove 9, the handle 12 is rotated to press against the connecting rod 10, so that the sleeve 11 is difficult to rotate on the connecting rod 10, thereby facilitating manual force application during the process of moving the gas chromatograph body 1, thereby avoiding the occurrence of slipping of the hands and making the gas chromatograph body 1 less likely to be damaged after accidentally tipping over, thereby ensuring the service life of the gas chromatograph body 1. At the same time, after the handle 12 is stored in the rectangular groove 9, it will not increase the space occupied by the gas chromatograph body 1, making the gas chromatograph body easy to push and pull, and very portable.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] The operator manually pulls the stopper 206 via the pull ring 14, causing the positioning rod 205 to slide on the connecting block 203 and disengage one of the sockets 208 on the fixed shaft 202, thereby facilitating the rotation of the connecting block 203. The tension spring 207 then utilizes its elastic return principle to insert the positioning rod 205 into the other socket 208, allowing the roller to be rotated and extended from the groove 201. This allows the gas chromatograph body 1 to tilt backward and the roller 204 on the back to be used to move the gas chromatograph body 1. After the movement is completed, the stopper 206 is pulled to disengage the positioning rod 205 from the connected socket, and the connecting block 203 is rotated in the opposite direction to insert the positioning rod into the other socket 208, thereby storing the roller in the groove 201. This does not increase the space occupied by the gas chromatograph body 1, making the gas chromatograph portable and convenient to use.

[0048] In addition, when using the roller to move the gas chromatograph body, considering the gripping position of the human hand, in this embodiment, the staff can rotate the handle 12 on the sleeve 11 to move the handle 12 away from the outer wall of the connecting rod 10, and then rotate the handle 12 to drive the sleeve 11 to rotate around the connecting rod 10, extend the handle 12 out of the rectangular groove 9, and rotate the handle 12 in the opposite direction to make it abut against the connecting rod 10, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the sleeve and the connecting rod, thereby facilitating the gripping of the handle 12 and applying force during the movement of the gas chromatograph body 1. The anti-slip cover 13 can prevent the hand from slipping out, and even if the gas chromatograph body accidentally tips over, it is not easily damaged. Moreover, after the handle 12 is rotated back into the rectangular groove, it does not increase the occupied space of the gas chromatograph body.

[0049] It should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
