Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of biosafety cabinet testing technology, specifically relating to a device for assisting in the detection of downstream leakage rate of high-efficiency filters in biosafety cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] The method for detecting the leakage rate downstream of the HEPA filter in a biosafety cabinet is generally as follows: a photometer is manually held by hand or held in place by an auxiliary device, with the photometer probe about 20mm away from the top air supply surface of the biosafety cabinet, and a full scan is performed using a meandering straight line.

[0003] Because manual handheld photometer scanning has drawbacks such as uneven scanning speed and large vertical shaking, testing personnel generally prefer to use auxiliary devices to hold the photometer. By manipulating the auxiliary device, the photometer is moved at a constant speed along a meandering straight line. For example, Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN210221437U discloses an auxiliary testing device for biosafety cabinet filters.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technology also has the following drawbacks:

[0005] (1) Two longitudinal guide rails need to be laid parallel on the biosafety cabinet platform. Parallelism needs to be checked during the laying process, which is a lot of work. After the laying is completed, there is no mutual fixing mechanism between the guide rails and the biosafety cabinet, and the longitudinal guide rails have poor anti-disturbance properties.

[0006] (2) In order to adapt to different models of biosafety cabinets, the longitudinal guide rails and crossbeams are spliced ​​to adjust the size. In this way, the size change is not stepless and the models that can be adapted are limited. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] A device for assisting in detecting the downstream leakage rate of a biosafety cabinet's high-efficiency filter, such as...

Manual operation of the guide rail clamp 205 allows the guide rail YD307 to switch between "movable" and "immovable" states. The guide rail clamp is existing technology and will not be described further. A front sensor 304 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the cantilever beam 303, and a rear mounting bracket 301 is fixedly mounted on the rear side.

[0040] Use of this embodiment:

[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, the movable lifting platform 1 is placed close to the open side of the biosafety cabinet. The guide rail clamp 20 is manually operated to release its clamp on the guide rail YD30, making the guide rail YD307 "movable" relative to the slider YD204. Based on the dimensions of the biosafety cabinet's detection space, the cantilever beam 3 is pushed or pulled to ensure its overhang length is appropriate. Then, the guide rail clamp 20 is manually operated again to make the guide rail YD307 "immovable" relative to the slider YD204. The brake switch on the caster 102 is depressed to fix the entire device in position relative to the biosafety cabinet. The positions of the left sensor 105, right sensor 107, and rear sensor 302 are then adjusted. By operating bolt 503, the aerosol photometer probe 6 is clamped onto the photometer clamping mechanism 5; the height of the movable lifting platform 1 is adjusted so that the aerosol photometer probe 6 is about 20mm away from the top air supply surface of the safety cabinet; then, the controller, according to the preset detour scanning program, drives the aerosol photometer probe 6 to perform a full scan in a detour straight line under the joint action of motor X202 and motor Y404.

[0042] When not in use, such as Figure 9 As shown, remove the aerosol photometer probe 6, manually operate the guide rail clamp 20 to release its clamp on the guide rail YD30, making the guide rail YD307 "movable" relative to the slider YD204. Adjust the cantilever beam part 3 to make it symmetrical about the moving lifting platform part 1. Then manually operate the guide rail clamp 20 again to make the guide rail YD307 "immovable" relative to the slider YD204. This makes the width of the entire device as small as possible, which is convenient for pushing, pulling and transportation.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, terms such as "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "front", and "rear" that indicate orientation or positional relationship are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0044] The above description is only one embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the concept of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
