[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 This utility model discloses a protective device for a pH electrode, comprising an electrode 1, a locking sleeve 2 disposed on the outer right side of the electrode 1, and a connecting sleeve 3 fixedly connected to the right side of the locking sleeve 2. The locking sleeve 2 is preferably made of corrosion-resistant engineering plastic, such as polycarbonate (PC) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These materials not only have good chemical stability and can resist the erosion of various acid and alkali solutions, but also have a certain mechanical strength, which can effectively protect the right side of the electrode 1 from accidental collisions or scratches, and at the same time can fit tightly with the electrode 1 to ensure the stability of the connection. The connecting sleeve 3 can be made of the same or similar engineering plastic material as the locking sleeve 2, and as a transition component, integrates the locking sleeve 2 and the extraction sleeve 4 together to ensure the continuity and stability of the entire device structure.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4The right side of the connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the extraction sleeve 4. The extraction sleeve 4 is also made of corrosion-resistant engineering plastic, which plays an important role in the whole device, assisting in the extraction and filtration of solutions. It is also a relatively soft material. The right side of the extraction sleeve 4 is provided with a connector 5, which allows the connector 5 to be stably installed on the extraction sleeve 4 and to be easily disassembled and replaced to meet different usage requirements. The connector 5 can be made of plastic or stainless steel that matches the extraction sleeve 4. If extremely high corrosion resistance is required and the budget allows, the 316L stainless steel model is a good choice, as it has excellent corrosion resistance and a certain mechanical strength. The outer ring on the right side of the extraction sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the first threaded ring 6, and the inner wall on the right side of the extraction sleeve 4 has a second threaded groove 7. The outer wall on the right side of the connector 5 is fixedly connected to the silicone head 11, and the inner wall of the silicone head 11 has a cross hole 12. The silicone head 11 has good flexibility and sealing performance. Silica gel possesses excellent temperature resistance (usable in the range of -40℃ to 200℃), corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Its inner wall has cross-shaped holes 12, which serve as channels for solution entry. While ensuring the solution flows smoothly to electrode 1, its unique cross shape also allows for some control over the flow rate and direction, ensuring uniform distribution of the solution around electrode 1 and further improving measurement accuracy. A second threaded ring 8 is threaded onto the outer wall of the second threaded groove 7, and a filter plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second threaded ring 8. The filter plate 9 can be made of stainless steel mesh, and its mesh size can be selected according to the size of impurity particles in the actual measurement solution, generally between 0.1 and 0.5 mm is suitable. This effectively filters out impurity particles in the solution, preventing them from entering the measurement area near electrode 1 and thus avoiding interference with the accuracy of pH measurement. A first threaded groove 10 is formed on the inner wall of the left side of the connector 5, and the first threaded groove 10 is threadedly connected to the first threaded ring 6.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The bottom of the locking sleeve 2 is provided with a fixing component, which includes a connecting frame 13. The connecting frame 13 is located at the bottom of the locking sleeve 2. A bidirectional threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 13. The bidirectional threaded rod 17 can be made of stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength and can withstand a certain torque. The outer rings at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 are threadedly connected with movable seats 16, and the movable seats 16 slide against the inner wall of the connecting frame 13, which restricts the movable seats 16 to move only along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 and prevents them from rotating freely. The front end of the bidirectional threaded rod 17 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 18, and the limiting plate 18 is threadedly connected to the connecting frame 13 by bolts 19. The outer wall of the electrode 1 is provided with a pressing groove 14, and the inner wall of the locking sleeve 2 is fixedly connected with a pressing ring 15. When the bidirectional threaded rod 17 is rotated, due to the characteristics of its bidirectional thread, the movable seats 16 at both ends will move towards or away from each other. When moving towards each other, the moving seat 16 will squeeze the extrusion groove 14 on the outer wall of the electrode 1, and apply pressure to the electrode 1 through the extrusion ring 15, thereby firmly fixing the electrode 1 in the locking sleeve 2, ensuring that the electrode 1 will not be displaced or shaken during use, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the measurement. The locking sleeve 2 and the extrusion ring 15 have a certain degree of toughness.

[0038] Working principle: The locking sleeve 2 is put on the electrode 1, and the compression ring 15 is engaged with the compression groove 14. The position of the moving seat 16 is adjusted by rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 17 to adapt to different installation environments and needs. At the same time, the locking sleeve 2 and the compression ring 15 are locked together. The limiting plate 18 and the connecting frame 13 are connected by bolts 19 for easy installation and disassembly. The connector 5 is installed through the first threaded ring 6 and the first threaded groove 10, and the filter plate 9 is installed through the second threaded ring 8 and the second threaded groove 7. The extraction sleeve 4 is squeezed to expel the internal air. The liquid can be extracted by aligning the silicone head 11 with the cross hole 12. The impurities in the liquid are filtered by the internal filter plate 9 to protect the electrode 1.
