Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of calibrator technology, specifically a simple calibrator for a conductivity meter. Background Technology
[0002] An industrial conductivity meter basically consists of three parts: a secondary meter head, an electrode cable, and an electrode. One end of the electrode cable is connected to the secondary meter head via a terminal block, and the other end is connected to the electrode via an aviation connector. In-factory testing and debugging are performed using a resistance box for calibration. However, since the instrument was designed for on-site calibration-free operation, and considering that most on-site conditions lack the necessary equipment and the inconvenience of operating a resistance box, and also to have a contingency plan in case calibration is required, standard resistors were initially used for on-site calibration. However, based on years of on-site practice and service experience, while these standard resistors are small and convenient, they are not portable, are more prone to loss, and while seemingly practical, they also have a certain degree of error, which is detrimental to the customer's requirement for accurate sample verification.
[0003] There are two common calibration methods on site. The first method involves disconnecting the electrode cable from the terminals of the secondary meter, connecting a standard resistor (1KΩ or 10KΩ) to the terminals according to the instrument's prompts, and then inserting the terminals into the corresponding sockets (DIN1 and DIN2) for calibration. Figure 4 This first method, because it doesn't include the electrode cable in the calibration process (i.e., it doesn't consider the influence of line resistance on the calibration), has a certain impact on the accuracy of the instrument. This error varies with the length of the electrode cable; the longer the electrode cable, the larger the error. The second method involves disconnecting the electrode cable from the electrode aviation connector and, according to the instrument's instructions, inserting a standard resistor (1KΩ or 10KΩ) into the corresponding jacks (pins 1 and 2) of the aviation connector on the electrode cable side for calibration. Figure 4 This method of directly inserting a standard resistor into the aviation connector, while taking into account the resistance of the electrode cables, is prone to calibration failure or errors due to unreliable contact between the standard resistor and the aviation connector socket. This not only affects measurement accuracy but also increases the workload of operators. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a simple conductivity meter calibrator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the internal combined thread 16 and the external combined thread 17 are used to ensure that the two are firmly fixed.
[0027] Since the error of the standard resistance calibration method is relatively large, it also increases the workload of on-site operators. To eliminate these influences, based on years of on-site debugging experience, this calibrator was designed and developed. It is connected by means of aviation plugs, which can not only solve the problem of unreliable contact and eliminate the influence of errors, but also solve the influence of wire resistance differences on calibration. Finally, it can also solve the problem that the standard resistance is too small and not easy to store. This calibrator consists of three parts: standard resistors (one 1KΩ and one 10KΩ standard resistor 11 each), aviation plugs (2), and cavity 1. The specific details are as follows: There are two aviation plugs. One aviation plug (with a total of 5 pins, using pins 1 and 2) is welded to the 1KΩ standard resistor 10, and the other aviation plug (with a total of 5 pins, using pins 1 and 2) is welded to the 10KΩ standard resistor 11. After welding, use a qualified inspection instrument (usually a multimeter) to measure whether its actual value is the same as the theoretical resistance value. After passing the inspection, screw the two aviation plugs welded with standard resistors into both sides of cavity 1 respectively (the two ends of cavity 1 are processed with thread fasteners, and the thread fasteners match the thread fasteners of the aviation plugs). At this time, the assembly of the calibrator is completed. For the assembled calibrator, use a qualified multimeter resistance range to determine the resistance value (confirm which end is 1KΩ and which end is 10KΩ), and mark the corresponding resistance value (1KΩ or 10KΩ) at both ends of the calibrator. Finally, use a qualified instrument to reverse-check whether the calibrator is qualified. After everything is correct, this calibrator can be used as a standard calibrator for factory production. The completed calibrator is in a cylindrical shape, 80mm long, 15mm wide, and 15mm high. It is easy to store, easy to carry, convenient for calibration, and has reliable connection. When calibrating the instrument, just disconnect the electrode cable from the electrode aviation plug (disconnect the electrode from the electrode cable), and according to the instrument prompt, connect to the aviation plug side corresponding to the resistance value of the calibrator (connect to the 1KΩ side or the 10KΩ side). After calibration, just unplug the aviation plug connecting the calibrator and the electrode cable.
[0028] Since the calibrator is connected by means of aviation plugs, it can solve the problem of unreliable contact and eliminate the influence of errors. Since the calibrator is connected to the electrode cable aviation plug, it solves the influence of wire resistance on calibration. Since the calibrator has a moderate size (cylindrical, 80mm long, 15mm wide, and 15mm high), it is easy to carry, and it can also solve the problem that the standard resistance is too small and not easy to store.
[0029] This specification is described according to the implementation manners, but not every implementation manner only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative manner of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation manners that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
