[0027] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides an online sampling device, which is arranged in a medium conveying pipeline and is used for extracting medium samples. The online sampling device includes a sampling bottle 1, a needle valve 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a bottle positioning mechanism 4 arranged on the lifting mechanism 3. The needle valve 2 includes a valve body 21, a needle adapter 22 and a sampling needle 23. The valve body 21 is arranged on the conveying pipeline, and the sampling needle 23 is arranged at the sampling port of the valve body 21 through the needle adapter 22. The valve body 21 adopts an existing three-way ball valve, which has a fluid channel connected to the medium conveying pipeline and a sampling port arranged at the lower end of the valve body 21 perpendicular to the liquid flow direction. A valve stem is provided in the valve body 21 to open or close the sampling port; at the same time, the valve body 21 can control the flow rate and flow of the medium flowing out of the sampling port. Whether the valve body 21 is manually controlled or automatically controlled, its working principle is the same as that of the prior art and will not be repeated here. See Figure 2 The needle valve adapter also has an air outlet needle for exhausting the air in the bottle when the sampling bottle is filled with sample.
[0029] The mouth of the sampling bottle 1 has a bottle cap 12 with a rubber membrane 11. On the one hand, the rubber membrane 11 facilitates puncture by the sampling needle 23 on the needle valve 2, so that the medium in the medium delivery pipeline can enter the sampling bottle 2 through the sampling needle 23. On the other hand, after sampling is completed, the needle hole in the rubber membrane 11 can be elastically closed when the sampling needle 23 is pulled out, thereby preventing leakage of the sample.
[0030] The bottle positioning mechanism 4 is arranged on the lifting mechanism 3, and the lifting mechanism 3 is arranged just below the sampling needle 23. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting platform 31, and a driving member 32 arranged under the lifting platform 31 and used to drive the lifting platform 31 to perform lifting movements; the bottle positioning mechanism 4 includes a bracket 41 arranged on the lifting platform 31, and a contoured cover 42 arranged just above the bracket 41 and adapted to the upper part of the sampling bottle 1. The contoured cover 42 is movably connected to the bracket 41 by a buckle to form a cavity 43 for fixing the sampling bottle 1; the contoured cover 42 is provided with a through hole 421 that is connected to the cavity 43 and has the same size as the rubber membrane 11 of the bottle cap 12. Specifically, when in the starting position (refer to Figure 4 ), after the sampling bottle 1 is fixed in the cavity 43 of the bottle positioning mechanism 4, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the bottle positioning mechanism 4 to rise with the sampling bottle 1, and stops after the sampling needle 23 is inserted into the set depth in the sampling bottle 1 (reference Figure 2 (For the convenience of subsequent description, this position is defined as the sampling position). Then, valve body 21 opens the sampling port, allowing the medium in the medium pipeline to flow into sampling bottle 1 through sampling needle 23. After quantitative sampling, lifting mechanism 3 drives bottle positioning mechanism 4 to lower sampling bottle 1 to the starting position. During the downward movement of sampling bottle 1, bottle positioning mechanism 4 fixes it. Therefore, even if there is a large resistance between sampling needle 23 and rubber membrane 11 of sampling bottle 1, it can ensure smooth separation between sampling bottle 1 and sampling needle 23. This completes the automatic entry and exit of the sampling bottle, realizes non-contact automatic sampling, reduces the leakage of hazardous chemicals, and reduces harm to operators, with high safety.
[0031] Furthermore, the bracket 41 is detachably connected to the lifting platform 31 via a fastener 44, so that the bracket 41 can be easily replaced according to sampling bottles 1 of different specifications. The bracket 41 is provided with an annular portion 411 for positioning the bottom of the sampling bottle 1. The annular portion 411 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the bottom of the sampling bottle 1 to ensure the stability of the fixing of the sampling bottle.
[0032] The fastener includes two rotating connecting arms 45, which are arranged opposite to each other along the central axis O' of the contoured cover 42, and the upper ends are rotatably connected to the corresponding sides of the outer wall of the contoured cover 42 through the shaft 451; the lower ends of the two rotating connecting arms 45 extend to both sides of the annular portion 411, and overlap the fastening columns 46 on both sides of the annular portion 411, that is, the contoured cover 42 and the bracket 41 are split structures, which is convenient for placing and fixing the sampling bottle 1 in the starting position.
[0033] The fastener also includes a limiting arm 47, which is a semicircular ring structure coaxially arranged with the central axis O'. The notch of the semicircular ring structure faces one side of the annular portion 411 and is consistent with the outer diameter of the annular portion 411. The fastener is also provided with two docking ports 48 that are aligned with the notch of the limiting arm 47 and are compatible with the two latching posts 46. When the lifting platform 31 is in the starting position, the sampling bottle 1 is placed on the bracket 41, and the contoured cover 42 is then placed on the upper portion of the sampling bottle 1. The rotating connecting arm 45 is rotated so that the docking port 48 on it is engaged with the latching post 46 of the bracket 41 to secure the sampling bottle 1. The provision of the limiting arm 47 facilitates the simultaneous operation of the two rotating connecting arms 45.
[0034] Furthermore, the online sampling device of the present invention includes a sampling box 5 having a door 51 on one side. The needle valve 2 is mounted on the top of the sampling box 5 via a valve bracket 24. The needle adapter 22 extends through the upper wall of the sampling box 5 and into the sampling box 5. The needle adapter 22 is provided with a sampling needle protective cover 25 at the end facing the sampling needle 23, and the sampling needle protective cover 25 can be mounted on the upper end of the contoured cover 42. The lifting mechanism 3 is disposed within the sampling box 5. The driving member 32 is a vertically arranged cylinder mounted on the lower wall of the sampling box 5 via a base 33. The lifting platform 31 is disposed on the piston rod 321 of the cylinder.
[0035] The sampling box body 5 is provided with a mounting plate 52 on the inner wall of the side away from the box door 51, and two position sensors 6 are provided on the end of the mounting plate 52 facing the box door 51, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The two position sensors 6 are respectively arranged on the side of the highest position and the lowest position of the lifting platform 31, that is, the two position sensors 6 are respectively used to monitor the starting position and the sampling position of the sampling bottle 1, so as to control the opening and closing of the needle valve 2 through the control system. A proximity switch 7 for monitoring the switch status of the box door 51 is provided in the sampling box body 5. The proximity switch 7 is connected to the control system signal and is used to feedback the switch status of the box door 51 to the control system. It should be noted that the control system can adopt a conventional PLC control system, which is used to control the signal transmission between the needle valve, the lifting mechanism, and the proximity switch 7 to achieve coordinated action between the various components and further improve the safety of the sampling device.
[0036] In summary, the online sampling device provided by the utility model, by arranging a bottle positioning mechanism on the lifting mechanism, can realize the self-entry and self-extraction of the sampling bottle to complete non-contact automatic sampling, reduce the leakage of hazardous chemicals, and reduce the damage to the operator. Sampling is convenient, fast, safe and reliable.
