DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical scheme of the present application will be further described in detail below with specific embodiments and in combination with the drawings.

[0021] Example 1: As Figs. 1-3 The drying chamber shown includes a lower chamber 1, which is a hollow cube structure. A support platform 2 is located on the upper part of the lower chamber 1 and is fixed to the upper part of the lower chamber 1 by fasteners. A circular sample fixing stage 3 is located in the middle of the support platform 2 and is fixedly connected to the support platform 2. A circular mounting groove 6 is also provided on the outer circumference of the sample fixing stage 3, and a sealing element 4, specifically a sealing ring, is installed in the mounting groove 6. A vacuum cover 5 is also arranged on the support platform 2. The vacuum cover 5 is cylindrical and is sealed tightly with the sealing element 4 on the support platform 2, thus isolating the interior of the vacuum cover 5 from the outside. The sealing element 4 and the vacuum cover 5 can seal the sample fixing stage 3 to the upper surface of the support platform 2. Furthermore, by arranging the vacuum cover 5, sample fixing stage 3, and support platform 2 all on the lower chamber 1, the overall volume of the drying chamber can be reduced, improving the portability of the drying chamber while ensuring its sealing performance.

[0022] Specifically, the mounting groove 6 on the support platform 2 is U-shaped, allowing the sealing element 4 to fit perfectly within it. The vacuum cover 5 has an open end and a closed end. A sealing end 7 with a large radial dimension is located at the open end of the vacuum cover 5; that is, the sealing end 7 is an annular wing structure on the vacuum cover 5, the size of which is just large enough to cover the circular sealing ring. After the sealing ring is placed in the mounting groove 6, the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5 is then attached to the sealing ring, thus forming a sealed space within the vacuum cover 5. It should be noted that after the sealing ring is placed in the mounting groove 6, it needs to protrude slightly from the groove 6. This ensures that the sealing end 7 and the sealing ring are in full contact when the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5 is placed on the mounting groove 6. Furthermore, the sealing ring has elasticity; after the vacuum cover 5 is pressed onto the sealing ring, the deformation of the sealing element 4 further fills the mounting groove 6, improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring within the mounting groove 6 and increasing the contact area between the sealing ring and the sealing end 7.

[0023] The vacuum hood 5 and the support platform 2 are connected by a flange 13. Specifically, a flange connecting post 18 is provided on the support platform 2 and located on the periphery of the sealing element 4. A through hole 19 adapted to the flange connecting post 18 is provided on the sealing end 7 of the vacuum hood 5. The through hole 19 on the vacuum hood 5 is inserted into the flange connecting post 18, and then the flange is connected to the sealing end 8 of the vacuum hood 6. The flange 13 is fixed by fasteners such as nuts. At this time, the sealing end 7 of the vacuum hood 5 is pressed on the sealing ring, and the flange 13 is pressed on the sealing end 7 of the vacuum hood 5.

[0024] Of course, the sealing end 7 can also be directly made into the structure of the flange plate 13, and the sealing end 7 is integrally formed with the vacuum cover 5, and the sealing end 7 is connected with the flange connecting column 18 on the support platform 2 through the through hole 19, but the position of the through hole 19 needs to avoid the position of the sealing element 4 to ensure that the sealing end 7 can be connected with the support platform 2. At this time, the sealing end 7 is pressed on the sealing ring in the mounting groove 6, and the sealing end 7 is fixed on the support platform 2 through the nut and other fasteners.

[0025] The lower tank body 1 is also provided with a vacuum pumping assembly, which includes a vacuum pumping interface 8, a vacuum valve 9, and an air pipe (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the vacuum pumping interface 8 is arranged on the outer surface of the lower tank body 1, the air pipe is arranged inside the lower tank body 1, and the vacuum valve 9 is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform 2. The air pipe connects the vacuum pumping interface 8 and the bottom of the support platform 2, and a connecting hole is arranged at the bottom of the support platform 2 for connecting the end of the air pipe, so that the air pipe can communicate the inside of the vacuum cover 5 with the vacuum pumping interface 8. The vacuum valve 9 is arranged on the air pipe and is used to open and close the air path on the air pipe. When the vacuum valve 9 is opened, the air pipe can communicate the inside of the vacuum cover 5 with the vacuum pumping interface 8. When the vacuum valve 9 is closed, the inside of the vacuum cover 5 is isolated to form an independent sealed space.

[0026] The vacuum pumping interface 8 is connected with a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure), and the inside of the vacuum cover 5 can be pumped by the vacuum pump. Specifically, when the vacuum pumping operation is needed, the vacuum valve 9 is opened, so that the inside of the vacuum cover 5 is connected with the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump can pump the inside of the vacuum cover 5. When the vacuum pumping operation is completed, the vacuum valve 9 is closed, and the inside of the vacuum cover 5 remains in a vacuum state, and then the vacuum pump can be removed.

[0027] It should be noted that the vacuum cover 5 is made of transparent glass material, specifically colorless glass, which can ensure the vacuum environment of the sample and facilitate the observation of the sample state.

[0028] Example 2: as Figs. 1-3The shown drying tank includes a lower tank body and an upper tank body, the lower tank body 1 is a hollow structure of a cube as a whole, a support platform 2 is arranged at the upper part of the lower tank body 1, the support platform 2 is fixed above the lower tank body 1 through fasteners, a circular sample fixing table 3 is arranged at the middle part of the support platform 2, the sample fixing table 3 is fixedly connected with the support platform 2, a circular mounting groove 6 is further arranged at the outer side of the circumference of the sample fixing table 3, a sealing element 4 is arranged in the mounting groove 6, specifically, the sealing element 4 can be a sealing ring. A vacuum cover 5 is further arranged on the support platform 2, the vacuum cover 5 is in a cylindrical shape as a whole, the vacuum cover 5 is sealingly attached with the sealing element 4 on the support platform 2, so that the inside of the vacuum cover 5 is isolated from the outside. The upper tank body 15 is a hollow structure of a cube with a closed top and an open bottom, the upper tank body 15 and the lower tank body 1 are connected through a snap lock 16, and the inside of the upper tank body 15 can accommodate and cover the structures such as the support platform 2 and the vacuum cover 5 above the lower tank body 1, thereby playing a role of sealing and protecting. In order to facilitate carrying of the drying tank, a handle 17 is further arranged on the upper tank body 15.

[0029] The sealing element 4 and the vacuum cover 5 can seal the sample fixing table 3 on the upper surface of the support platform 2. And the vacuum cover 5, the sample fixing table 3 and the support platform 2 are all arranged on the lower tank body 1, so that the overall volume of the drying tank can be reduced, while the sealing performance of the drying tank is ensured, the portability of the drying tank is also improved.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting groove 6 on the support platform 2 is U-shaped, the sealing element 4 can be embedded in the mounting groove, and one end of the vacuum cover 5 is an open end and the other end is a closed end. A sealing end 7 with a larger radial dimension is arranged at the open end of the vacuum cover 5, that is, the sealing end 7 is an annular wing plate structure on the vacuum cover 5, and the size of the annular wing plate is just enough to cover the circular sealing ring. After the sealing ring is arranged in the mounting groove 6, the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5 is attached to the sealing ring, so that a sealed space is formed in the vacuum cover 5. It should be noted that when the sealing ring is arranged in the mounting groove 6, the sealing ring needs to slightly protrude from the mounting groove 6, so that when the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5 is arranged in the mounting groove 6, the sealing end 7 and the sealing ring can be in full contact. And the sealing ring has an elastic effect, after the vacuum cover 5 is pressed on the sealing ring, the deformation of the sealing element 4 can further fill the mounting groove 6, improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring in the mounting groove 6, and improve the contact area between the sealing ring and the sealing end 7.

[0031] The vacuum cover 5 and the support platform 2 are connected through the flange 13. Specifically, the flange connecting column 18 is arranged on the support platform 2 and located at the periphery of the sealing element 4. The through hole 19 adapted to the flange connecting column 18 is arranged on the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5. The through hole 19 on the vacuum cover 5 is arranged on the flange connecting column 18, and then the flange is connected on the sealing end 8 of the vacuum cover 6. The flange 13 is fixed by using nuts and other fasteners. At this time, the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5 is arranged on the sealing ring, and the flange 13 is arranged on the sealing end 7 of the vacuum cover 5.

[0032] Of course, the sealing end 7 can also be directly made into the structure of the flange 13. The sealing end 7 is integrally formed with the vacuum cover 5. The through hole 19 on the sealing end 7 is connected with the flange connecting column 18 on the support platform 2. However, the position of the through hole 19 needs to avoid the position of the sealing element 4 to ensure that the sealing end 7 can be connected with the support platform 2. At this time, the sealing end 7 is arranged on the sealing ring in the mounting groove 6, and the sealing end 7 is fixed on the support platform 2 by using nuts and other fasteners.

[0033] The vacuum extraction assembly is also arranged on the lower tank body 1. The vacuum extraction assembly includes a vacuum extraction interface 8, a vacuum valve 9, and an air pipe (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the vacuum extraction interface 8 is arranged on the outer surface of the lower tank body 1. The air pipe is arranged inside the lower tank body 1. The vacuum valve 9 is arranged on the upper surface of the support platform 2. The air pipe connects the vacuum extraction interface 8 and the bottom of the support platform 2. A connecting hole is arranged on the bottom of the support platform 2 for connecting the end of the air pipe. In this way, the air pipe can communicate the inside of the vacuum cover 5 with the vacuum extraction interface 8. The vacuum valve 9 is arranged on the air pipe and is used to open and close the air path on the air pipe. When the vacuum valve 9 is opened, the air pipe can communicate the inside of the vacuum cover 5 with the vacuum extraction interface 8. When the vacuum valve 9 is closed, the inside of the vacuum cover 5 is isolated to form an independent sealed space.

[0034] The vacuum extraction interface 8 is connected with a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure). The inside of the vacuum cover 5 can be vacuumized by the vacuum pump. Specifically, when the vacuumization operation is needed, the vacuum valve 9 is opened. In this way, the inside of the vacuum cover 5 is communicated with the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump can vacuumize the inside of the vacuum cover 5. When the vacuumization operation is completed, the vacuum valve 9 is closed. At this time, the inside of the vacuum cover 5 remains in a vacuum state. Then, the vacuum pump can be removed.

[0035] It should be further pointed out that the vacuum cover 5 is made of transparent glass material, specifically colorless glass, which not only ensures the vacuum environment of the sample but also facilitates the observation of the sample state.

[0036] A heat dissipation hole 10 is arranged on the outside of the lower tank body 1, and the heat dissipation hole 10 is arranged on the side of the lower tank body 1. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, the heat dissipation hole 10 can be arranged on two sides. The heat dissipation hole 10 is a plurality of parallel strip-shaped holes, which can dissipate heat for the internal structure of the lower tank body 1, and prevent the lower tank body 1 from overheating. In addition, a vacuum gauge 11 is arranged on the outside of the lower tank body 1. The vacuum gauge 11 can detect the vacuum degree in the vacuum cover 5, so that the user can intuitively understand the pressure condition in the vacuum cover 5.
