[0002] In the laboratory, methods such as pyrometallurgical enrichment are often used to detect the content of some precious metals, and crucibles are an indispensable piece of equipment in this case.
[0003] Currently, due to differences in heating equipment in different laboratories, the size and shape of the support for the crucible also vary, resulting in unstable support of the crucible on the support, which affects the use by the experimenters. To address this, we propose a modular crucible for laboratory use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular crucible for laboratory use, which has the advantages of stable support and convenient replacement. It solves the problem that the support of the crucible on the support is unstable due to the differences in heating equipment in different laboratories, which also leads to differences in the size and shape of the support for the crucible, thus affecting the use by laboratory personnel.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a laboratory-grade combined crucible, comprising a base frame and an annular support plate. A recessed platform is provided at the upper end of the inner side of the annular support plate. Multiple equidistantly distributed positioning grooves are formed at the bottom of the recessed platform. Three equidistantly distributed positioning seats are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the annular support plate. An inclined elastic limiting member is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of each positioning seat. An outer crucible is provided inside the recessed platform. Multiple equidistantly distributed positioning protrusions that fit the positioning grooves are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper end of the outer crucible. Three equidistantly distributed combined grooves and limiting grooves are formed at the top of the outer crucible. An inner crucible is provided inside the outer crucible. Three limiting protrusions that fit the combined grooves are formed at the bottom of the upper end of the inner crucible.
[0006] Preferably, an adjustment frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame, and the adjustment frame has multiple equidistant adjustment holes on its inner side.
[0007] Preferably, a guide sleeve is slidably connected to the lower end of the outer surface of the adjusting frame, a connecting seat is fixedly connected between the two guide sleeves, a partition is fixedly connected to the middle end of the inner cavity of the connecting seat, springs are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the partition, a movable block is fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the partition, a positioning rod adapted to the adjusting hole is fixedly connected to the middle end of the side of the movable block away from the spring, and a push-pull plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the end of the movable block near the spring.
[0008] Preferably, connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the front of the connecting seat, and the front of the connecting blocks is fixedly connected to the rear side of the annular support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the elastic limiting member is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0011] Preferably, lifting blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the top of the inner liner crucible.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. By combining the groove and the limiting protrusion, this utility model ensures that when the inner crucible is moved into the outer crucible, the limiting protrusion at the bottom of the upper end of the inner crucible can enter the corresponding groove. Since the inner crucible and the outer crucible are self-adapted, the stability of the inner crucible during use can be guaranteed when the position of the outer crucible is fixed.
[0014] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of adjustment holes, guide sleeves, connecting seats, push-pull plates, positioning rods, movable blocks, springs, connecting blocks, and partitions, allows the positioning rod to exit the corresponding adjustment hole when the movable block compresses the spring within the connecting seat via the push-pull plate. Then, the guide sleeve slides up and down on the outer surface of the adjustment frame via the push-pull plate and connecting seat. With the assistance of the connecting block, the height of the annular support plate can be adjusted. After this, the push-pull plate is slowly released, and the spring, via the movable block, drives the positioning rod to insert into the corresponding adjustment hole, thereby fixing the height of the connecting seat and the annular support plate. This facilitates the heating use of different laboratory heating equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The components of this application, including the base frame 1, adjustment frame 2, adjustment hole 3, guide sleeve 4, outer crucible 5, lifting block 6, inner crucible 7, positioning seat 8, connecting seat 9, push-pull plate 10, positioning protrusion 11, positioning groove 12, recess 13, limiting groove 14, elastic limiting component 15, auxiliary positioning spring 16, positioning insert rod 17, movable block 18, spring 19, connecting block 20, annular support plate 21, combined groove 22, limiting protrusion 23, and partition 24, are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a laboratory combined crucible, including a base frame 1 and an annular support plate 21. A recessed platform 13 is provided on the upper end of the inner side of the annular support plate 21. Multiple positioning grooves 12 with equal angles are provided on the bottom of the recessed platform 13. Three positioning seats 8 with equal angles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the annular support plate 21. An inclined elastic limiting member 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the positioning seat 8. An outer crucible 5 is provided on the inner side of the recessed platform 13. Multiple positioning protrusions 11 with equal angles and adapted to the positioning grooves 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper end of the outer crucible 5. Three combined grooves 22 with equal angles and a limiting groove 14 are provided on the top of the outer crucible 5. The lower end of the elastic limiting member 15 is adapted to the limiting groove 14. An inner crucible 7 is provided on the inner side of the outer crucible 5. Three limiting protrusions 23 adapted to the combined grooves 22 are provided on the bottom of the upper end of the inner crucible 7.
[0025] This technical solution: Through the arrangement of the annular support plate 21, positioning protrusion 11, positioning groove 12, and recess 13, when the outer crucible 5 enters the inner side of the annular support plate 21, and with the assistance of the recess 13, the positioning protrusion 11 at the bottom of the upper end of the outer crucible 5 enters the corresponding positioning groove 12, thereby providing lateral restraint for the outer crucible 5. Through the arrangement of the positioning seat 8, elastic limiting member 15, and limiting groove 14, when the outer crucible 5 enters the inner side of the annular support plate 21, it can compress the elastic limiting member 15, causing it to deform. After the outer crucible 5 is fully restrained within the annular support plate 21, the elastic limiting member returns to its original position. The lower end of the limiting member 15 can enter the limiting groove 14, thereby providing longitudinal limiting for the outer crucible 5 and ensuring the connection stability between the outer crucible 5 and the annular support plate 21. Through the combination groove 22 and the limiting protrusion 23, when the inner crucible 7 is driven into the outer crucible 5, the limiting protrusion 23 at the bottom of the upper end of the inner crucible 7 can enter the corresponding combination groove 22. Since the inner crucible 7 and the outer crucible 5 are self-adapted, the stability of the inner crucible 7 during use can be ensured when the position of the outer crucible 5 is fixed. If the inner crucible 7 or the outer crucible 5 is damaged, it can be easily replaced.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this utility model is as follows... Figures 1-4 As shown, an adjustment frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1. Multiple equidistant adjustment holes 3 are opened on the inner side of the adjustment frame 2. A guide sleeve 4 is slidably connected to the lower end of the outer surface of the adjustment frame 2. A connecting seat 9 is fixedly connected between two guide sleeves 4. A partition 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting seat 9. Springs 19 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the partition 24. A movable block 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 19 away from the partition 24. A positioning rod 17 adapted to the adjustment hole 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the movable block 18 away from the spring 19. A push-pull plate 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the end of the movable block 18 near the spring 19. Connecting blocks 20 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the front of the connecting seat 9. The front of the connecting block 20 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the annular support plate 21.
[0027] This technical solution, through the arrangement of adjustment hole 3, guide sleeve 4, connecting seat 9, push-pull plate 10, positioning rod 17, movable block 18, spring 19, connecting block 20 and partition plate 24, allows the positioning rod 17 to exit the corresponding adjustment hole 3 as the movable block 18 compresses the spring 19 within the connecting seat 9, driven by the push-pull plate 10. Then, the guide sleeve 4 slides up and down on the outer surface of the adjustment frame 2 via the push-pull plate 10 and connecting seat 9, and with the assistance of the connecting block 20, the height of the annular support plate 21 can be adjusted. After completion, the push-pull plate 10 is slowly released, and the spring 19, via the movable block 18, drives the positioning rod 17 to insert into the corresponding adjustment hole 3, thereby fixing the height of the connecting seat 9 and the annular support plate 21, thus facilitating the heating use of different laboratory heating equipment.
[0028] Example 3: Based on Example 1, this utility model is as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, an auxiliary positioning spring 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the elastic limiting member 15, and the bottom of the auxiliary positioning spring 16 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0029] This technical solution: By setting the auxiliary positioning spring 16, it can provide a certain longitudinal constraint on the inner liner crucible 7, further ensuring the stability of the inner liner crucible 7 during use.
[0030] Example 4: Based on Example 1, this utility model is as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, lifting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the top of the inner crucible 7.
[0031] This technical solution facilitates the taking and placing of the inner crucible 7 by setting up the lifting block 6.
