Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of detection, in particular to a sample rack for a microwave digestion instrument. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of modern analytical chemistry technology, microwave digestion instruments, as the core equipment for sample pretreatment, are widely used in environmental monitoring, food analysis, geological exploration and other fields. Its core function is to realize efficient decomposition of samples through microwave heating and high-pressure environment, and the structure design of the sample rack, as the key component for carrying the digestion tank, directly affects the safety and reliability of the experiment.

[0003] The current mainstream microwave digestion instrument sample rack generally adopts modular design, and each digestion tank is connected to the sample rack main body through an independent explosion-proof pipe. In the traditional design, the explosion-proof pipe needs to be manually pressed by the experimental personnel and inserted into the sample rack. This operation mode exposes significant defects in the long-term use process: first, manual operation requires a large pressure, which can easily cause the operator to be tired, and there is an installation problem caused by uneven operation force; second, under the action of high-frequency mechanical stress, plastic deformation occurs at the contact part of the explosion-proof pipe and the sample rack, especially when using high molecular materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the edge of the pipe opening is prone to rolling and warping.

[0004] The above problems have become a technical bottleneck restricting the long-term stable operation of the microwave digestion instrument. Experimental data shows that after more than 500 cycles, 68% of the sample racks have difficulty in installing the explosion-proof pipe, of which 32% cause the digestion liquid to leak due to sealing failure, directly affecting the accuracy of the detection result. More seriously, the leakage in the high-pressure environment may cause safety accidents and threaten the personal safety of the experimental personnel.

[0005] The existing improvement schemes are mostly focused on material replacement or local structure optimization, such as using carbon fiber reinforced composite materials to improve fatigue resistance, or adding a sealing ring at the interface to assist sealing. However, these methods fail to fundamentally solve the mechanical stress problem caused by manual operation, and increase the manufacturing cost and maintenance complexity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a sample rack for a microwave digestion instrument, which comprises an upper plate body 1 and a lower plate body 2, the upper surface of the lower plate body 2 is formed with a positioning groove 3, the upper surface of the lower plate body 2 is formed with a connecting part 4, the upper plate body 1 is rotationally connected with a locking part, the locking part is threadedly connected with the connecting part 4, the upper plate body 1 is provided with a guiding part, and the guiding part is matched with the connecting part 4 to limit the rotation of the upper plate body 1.

[0032] ​Specifically, the upper plate body 1 and the lower plate body 2 are both disc structures. Generally, in order to make the sample rack structure more stable, the diameter of the lower plate body 2 can be larger than that of the upper plate body 1. However, in the present scheme, the stability of the whole sample rack is achieved by fixing the counterweight 5 at the bottom of the lower plate body 2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the diameters of the upper plate body 1 and the lower plate body 2 are the same. A counterweight groove can be formed at the bottom of the lower plate body 2, and the counterweight 5 is bonded in the counterweight groove. The counterweight 5 can be made of stainless steel plate or stainless steel sheet.

[0033] The cross section of the connecting part 4 is non-circular. The connecting part 4 is located at the center of the lower plate body 2. A threaded hole 6 is formed at the center of the connecting part 4. A locking member is correspondingly arranged at the center of the upper plate body 1. The guide member is a guide sleeve 7 which is fixed to the lower surface of the lower plate body 2. Part of the guide sleeve 7 is sleeved on the connecting part 4 and is in sliding fit with the connecting part 4.
