[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a pH meter electrode protection device includes a pH meter 1 and a glass membrane 12 fixedly arranged at the end thereof, including a protective cover 2 whose first end is clamped with the end of the pH meter 1, and a sealing ring 21 is provided on the protective cover 2;

[0026] An elastic folded bag 23 provided at the second end of the protective cover 2, which is used to store a buffer solution;

[0027] A blocking rod 24 for blocking the liquid outlet of the elastic folded capsule 23;

[0028] The elastic folding bag 23 is in the folded state, and the blocking rod 24 is staggered with the liquid outlet of the elastic folding bag 23 to squeeze the buffer solution into the protective cover 2.

[0029] Specifically, the pH meter 1 is provided with a convex ring 11, and the port of the protective cover 2 is provided with a convex block that is snap-fitted with the convex ring 11, and the inner wall of the protective cover 2 is provided with a rubber ring 22 for pressing the glass membrane 12, which can wrap and buffer the glass membrane 12 and reduce the force of vibration on the glass membrane 12.

[0030] Furthermore, when the pH meter 1 needs to be stored for a long time, the glass membrane 12 is placed downward and the pH meter 1 is pressed downward, causing the elastic folded capsule 23 to fold. The blocking rod 24 is staggered with the liquid outlet of the elastic folded capsule 23 and extends into the protective cover 2 until the pad provided at the end of the blocking rod 24 supports the glass membrane 12. At the same time, the buffer solution stored in the elastic folded capsule 23 with a pH value of 6.8625°C is squeezed into the protective cover 2. The buffer solution fully soaks the glass membrane 12, thereby maintaining the wet state of the electrode and preventing the glass membrane 12 from drying and aging. When the pH meter 1 only needs to be stored for a short period of time, the glass membrane 12 is first placed downward and the elastic folded capsule 23 is unfolded. The sealing ring 21 is used to form a closed environment in the protective cover 2. At this time, the elastic folded capsule 23 draws the buffer solution into the interior, and the blocking rod 24 blocks the liquid outlet of the elastic folded capsule 23 to prevent liquid leakage. The pH meter 1 is then turned over so that the glass membrane 12 is placed upward.

[0031] In the above technology, the buffer solution is squeezed into the protective cover 2 by folding the elastic folding bag 23, so as to fully soak the glass membrane 12. When long-term storage is not required, it is only necessary to unfold the elastic folding bag 23 to evacuate the buffer solution. The state can be changed according to actual needs only through the protective cover 2. There is no need to switch back and forth between the two storage devices, thereby reducing storage costs.

[0032] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the elastic folded bag 23 includes a base 28 , the blocking rod 24 is fixedly disposed on the base 28 , and the elastic folded bag 23 is used to maintain a predetermined distance between the blocking rod 24 and the glass film 12 .

[0033] Specifically, the elastic folding bag 23 is in an expanded state in the default state, and can provide buffering protection to the glass membrane 12 through its own elasticity and the buffer solution inside, thereby reducing the impact of external vibration on the glass membrane 12. The blocking rod 24 is pulled by the elastic folding bag 23 in the default state and is tightly pressed against the liquid outlet of the elastic folding bag 23, thereby playing a sealing role. When the elastic folding bag 23 is folded, the blocking rod 24 extends toward the direction of the glass membrane 12 and intersects with the liquid outlet, allowing the buffer solution to enter the protective cover 2.

[0034] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, a plurality of locking rods 29 that slide with the protective cover 2 are arranged in a circumferential array on the base 28, and there is a locking position for locking the elastic folding bag 23 in the sliding stroke of the locking rod 29.

[0035] Specifically, the locking rod 29 moves with the base 28, and the elastic folding capsule 23 drives the base 28 to move toward the protective cover 2 during the folding process, thereby driving the locking rod 29 to slide along the protective cover 2 and reach the locking position. At this time, the locking rod 29 locks the base 28 and the protective cover 2, so that the elastic force of the elastic folding capsule 23 is overcome and maintained in the current folded state, thereby switching to a state for long-term storage of the pH meter 1.

[0036] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, a slide groove 25 is provided on the protective cover 2, and a retention groove 27 is provided at the end of the slide groove 25 for engaging with the locking rod 29, and the retention groove 27 is consistent with the locking position height.

[0037] Specifically, the sliding groove 25 is arranged obliquely, and a guide sliding surface 26 is arranged between the sliding groove 25 and the retention groove 27; the end of the locking rod 29 is rotatably provided with a rotating piece 291 that is in sliding cooperation with the sliding groove 25, and the locking rod 29 has a certain elasticity; the rotating piece 291 has a semicircular structure, and the width of the sliding groove 25 is greater than the radius of the rotating piece 291 and less than the diameter of the rotating piece 291. When the elastic folding bag 23 is folded and stored, the base 28 drives the locking rod 29 to slide along the sliding groove 25; at this time, the semicircle of the rotating piece 291 is in a state parallel to the sliding groove 25, can naturally slide along the sliding groove 25, and drives the locking rod 29 to slightly bend and store energy; when the rotating piece 291 moves to the guide sliding surface 26, the stored energy of the locking rod 29 is released, and the locking rod 29 returns to vertical and drives the rotating piece 291 to abut against the guide sliding surface 26; the rotating piece 291 is guided by the guide sliding surface 26 to rotate to a state perpendicular to the sliding groove 25; at this time, the rotating piece 291 corresponds to the retention groove 27, and the elastic folding bag 23 pulls the locking rod 29 under its own elasticity, so that the rotating piece 291 is clamped with the retention groove 27. When it is necessary to release the locking, the elastic folding bag 23 is pressed again, so that the rotating piece 291 moves upward relative to the retention groove 27 and abuts against the guide sliding surface 26 again; the locking rod 29 is driven by the rotating piece 291 to bend again, and the rotating piece 291 is guided by the guide sliding surface 26 to rotate again to be parallel to the sliding groove 25; then it is naturally released, so that the elasticity of the elastic folding bag 23 is released, and the rotating piece 291 is driven by the locking rod 29 to slide along the sliding groove 25; at this time, the base 28 is no longer locked by the locking rod 29.

[0038] As further provided in another embodiment of the utility model, an inflation cylinder 3 is arranged in a circumferential array on the protective cover 2, and the inflation cylinder 3 is in communication with the sealing ring 21; a piston rod 31 that cooperates with the piston of the inflation cylinder 3 is fixedly arranged on the base 28.

[0039] Specifically, when the elastic folding bag 23 is folded, the base 28 is driven to move towards the protective cover 2, so as to drive the piston rod 31 to push and squeeze air in the inflation cylinder 3, and the air is squeezed into the sealing ring 21, so that the sealing ring 21 expands and fills the gap between the convex ring 11 and the pH meter 1, a closed environment is formed in the protective cover 2, and the internal buffer liquid is prevented from leaking out. When the elastic folding bag 23 is unfolded, the base 28 moves away from the protective cover 2 and drives the piston rod 31 to move; the piston rod 31 sucks the air in the sealing ring 21, so that the sealing ring 21 shrinks, and the user can pull out at any time.

[0040] Working principle: the elastic folding bag 23 is in the unfolded state in the default state, and can buffer and protect the glass film 12 through its own elasticity and the internal buffer solution, thereby reducing the influence of external vibration on the glass film 12. When the pH meter 1 needs to be stored for a long time, the glass film 12 is placed downward, and the pH meter 1 is pressed downward, so that the elastic folding bag 23 is folded, the plug rod 24 is offset from the liquid outlet of the elastic folding bag 23 and extends into the protective cover 2, the base 28 drives the locking rod 29 to slide along the sliding groove 25, at this time the semicircle of the rotating part 291 is parallel to the sliding groove 25, can naturally slide along the sliding groove 25, and drives the locking rod 29 to slightly bend and store power, when the rotating part 291 moves to the guide sliding surface 26, the power of the locking rod 29 is released, and returns to vertical, and drives the rotating part 291 to abut against the guide sliding surface 26, the rotating part 291 is guided to rotate to the state perpendicular to the sliding groove 25, at this time the rotating part 291 corresponds to the retention groove 27, and the elastic folding bag 23 pulls the locking rod 29 under its own elasticity, so that the rotating part 291 is clamped with the retention groove 27. And the pad block at the end of the plug rod 24 holds the glass film 12, at the same time, the buffer solution stored in the elastic folding bag 23 is squeezed into the protective cover 2, the buffer solution fully soaks the glass film 12, so as to keep the electrode in a wet state, prevent the glass film 12 from drying and aging.

[0041] At the same time, the base 28 approaches the protective cover 2, thereby driving the piston rod 31 to squeeze and push the air in the air cylinder 3, and the air is squeezed into the sealing ring 21, so that the sealing ring 21 expands and fills the gap between the convex ring 11 and the pH meter 1, a closed environment is formed in the protective cover 2, and the internal buffer liquid is prevented from leaking out.

[0042] When the locking needs to be released, the elastic folding bag 23 is pressed again, so that the rotating part 291 moves upward relative to the retention groove 27 and abuts against the guide sliding surface 26 again, the locking rod 29 is driven by the rotating part 291 to bend again, the rotating part 291 is guided by the guide sliding surface 26 to rotate again to be parallel to the sliding groove 25, and then is naturally released, so that the elasticity of the elastic folding bag 23 is released, and drives the rotating part 291 to slide along the sliding groove 25 through the locking rod 29, the sealing ring 21 forms a closed environment in the protective cover 2, at this time the elastic folding bag 23 sucks the buffer solution into the inside, and the plug rod 24 blocks the liquid outlet of the elastic folding bag 23 to prevent liquid leakage, and then the pH meter 1 is turned over, so that the glass film 12 is placed upward. When the elastic folding bag 23 is unfolded, the base 28 moves away from the protective cover 2 and drives the piston rod 31 to move, the piston rod 31 sucks the air in the sealing ring 21, so that the sealing ring 21 shrinks, which is convenient for the user to pull out at any time.

[0043] The above has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, and it is needless to say that the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application for those skilled in the art. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature, and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
