Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifuge protection, in particular to a centrifuge protection device. Background Art

[0002] A centrifuge is a mechanical device that uses centrifugal force to separate different components in a mixture. The main function of a centrifuge is to separate liquid from solid particles or two liquids with different densities through the centrifugal force generated by rotation. Centrifuges process a wide variety of materials, some of which are flammable and explosive. Since the centrifuge is sealed during operation, this can easily cause combustion and explosion accidents.

[0003] To ensure centrifuge safety, nitrogen is typically used as a protective atmosphere to reduce oxygen concentration and minimize the risk of explosion. This process typically requires a vacuum pump to extract the gas from the centrifuge chamber. However, some of the gas inside the centrifuge chamber may be contaminated with impurities, so direct discharge can easily cause air pollution. Furthermore, if the gas is not filtered, the vacuum pump line may become clogged, preventing the centrifuge from being effectively evacuated, resulting in insufficient oxygen concentration and an explosion risk.

[0030] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a centrifuge protection device, including a vacuum pump 4, which is used to extract the gas in the centrifuge 1 and transport it to the filter box 8; the filter box 8 is used to separate the gas therein into gas and liquid, and filter and discharge the separated gas; an inert gas delivery pipe 3, which is used to input inert gas, such as nitrogen, helium, argon, etc., into the centrifuge 1.

[0031] like Figure 1 In the embodiment, the air inlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the inner cavity of the centrifuge 1, and the gas in the inner cavity can be extracted. The air outlet of the vacuum pump 4 is upward and connected to the air inlet pipe 5 of the filter box 8, and the gas extracted from the inner cavity of the centrifuge is transported to the filter box 8. An exhaust pipe 10 is installed at the top of the filter box 8, preferably in the middle position, to discharge the filtered gas.

[0032] A guide plate 6 is provided in the filter box 8, preferably near the bottom. The guide plate 6 is tilted, and its lower end is connected to the drain pipe 7. Multiple rows of vent holes 61 are provided on the guide plate 6. Figure 2 The center has two rows of vent holes, with each row of vent holes 61 spaced apart along its oblique direction. Diversion grooves 11 extending along the oblique direction are provided between the rows of vent holes. The gas delivered from the vacuum pump may contain water vapor. After the gas passes through the vent holes, the water vapor flows along the diversion grooves 11 into the drain pipe 7 and is discharged externally.

[0033] A filter assembly is installed above the guide plate 6 , and the filter assembly includes a limit plate 16 , a filter plate 17 , a connecting block 18 , a sealing ring 19 , a positioning column 20 , a positioning hole 21 , and a sealing plate 22 .

[0034] Slots 30 are provided on the side walls of the filter box 8. Limiting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box above and below slots 30. Limiting plates 16 can be symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the filter box 8. Filter plates 17 are installed between the limiting plates 16. Filter plates 17 are used to filter the gas after gas-liquid separation to remove impurities.

[0035] A connecting block 18 is installed in the slot 30 , and the wall thickness of the connecting block 18 is the same as that of the filter box, so that the inner side of the connecting block 18 contacts the side of the filter plate 17 and the outer side is flush with the outer wall of the filter box.

[0036] A sealing plate 22 is fixed to the outside of the connecting block 18. Specifically, a plurality of positioning holes 21 are formed on the sealing plate 22. The positioning holes 21 can be symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the sealing plate 22. The sealing plate 22 can be fixedly mounted on the filter box 8 by passing bolts through the positioning holes. For example, a positioning column 20 can be fixedly connected to the filter box 8. The end of the positioning column 20 that passes through the sealing plate 22 has a thread and can be screwed onto it by a locking nut 25. The locking nut 25 forms a threaded locking with the sealing plate 22 to fix the sealing plate 22 on the filter box 8.

[0037] In some embodiments, a handle 23 is installed in the middle of the outer side of the sealing plate 22. When the filter plate 17 needs to be cleaned or replaced with a new one, the sealing plate 22 can be removed, and the filter plate 17 can be removed from between the limiting plates 16 for cleaning or replacement. The handle 23 can also be covered with an anti-slip cloth 24.

[0038] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 19 is further installed on the slot. Specifically, a groove can be machined on the outer periphery of the connecting block 18, and the sealing ring 19 is installed in the groove. The sealing ring 19 is used to seal the gap between the connecting block 18 and the slot to prevent leakage.

[0039] In some embodiments, an oxygen concentration detector 9 is installed on the top of the filter box 8.

[0040] In some embodiments, a delivery channel 14 is formed within the inert gas delivery pipe 3, and a solenoid valve 2 is mounted on the inert gas delivery pipe 3. The wall of the inert gas delivery pipe 3 comprises a flame-retardant layer 12 and an isolation strip 13 from the outside to the inside. Preferably, two isolation strips 13 are used, and a plurality of buffer columns 15 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular region between the two isolation strips 13. The buffer columns 15 are arranged in a circular pattern about the center of the inert gas delivery pipe 3. Furthermore, the buffer columns 15 are elastic rubber buffer columns, which can effectively cushion the impact of the gas on the delivery pipe.

[0041] Furthermore, a flow valve is installed in the air inlet pipe 5 to detect the flow of extracted gas.

[0042] The working principle of the centrifuge protection device is explained below: First, during operation, the gas in the inner cavity of the centrifuge 1 is extracted through the vacuum pump 4, and then the gas is guided to the interior of the filter box 8 through the air inlet pipe 5. Since the guide plate 6 is installed at an angle, the opening of the guide groove 11 facilitates the liquefaction and diversion of the liquid in the gas. The guided liquid enters the drain pipe 7 through the guide groove 11 and is discharged. The gas enters the filter box 8 and is filtered by the filter plate 17 before being discharged through the exhaust pipe 10. After the gas is extracted, nitrogen is transported by the inert gas delivery pipe 3. At the same time, a flame retardant layer 12 is distributed inside the inert gas delivery pipe 3, so that the flame retardant layer 12 has a certain flame retardant effect. The nitrogen is transported and circulated through the delivery channel 14 to the interior of the centrifuge 1.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily 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.
