Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to dilution equipment technical field, specifically related to an automatic dilution device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The accurate dilution refers to the process that a certain volume of solvent is added in a certain volume of stock solution to obtain an accurate target solution. Some use manual dilution method: professional chemical testing personnel use pipette, volumetric flask and other accurate measuring devices to accurately dilute the stock solution to the target solution. This process requires high operation level of the testing personnel, has many operation steps, consumes long time, needs manual calculation, and often leads to unsatisfactory accuracy and precision of the dilution result.

[0005] TECHNICAL SCHEME
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical scheme provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0007] An automatic dilution device comprises a control chamber and a dilution chamber, a power supply and a controller are arranged in the control chamber, a stock solution tank, a clean water tank and a liquid preparation tank are arranged in the dilution chamber, the clean water tank and the liquid preparation tank are connected to a clean water peristaltic pump, the stock solution tank and the liquid preparation tank are connected to a stock solution peristaltic pump, the stock solution tank is provided with a stock solution inlet and a emptying port, the clean water tank and the liquid preparation tank are provided with emptying ports and are connected to emptying valve groups, the emptying valve groups are connected to a clean and dirty three-way valve and are connected to an inlet and outlet assembly, and the clean water peristaltic pump and the stock solution peristaltic pump are connected to the controller.
[0008] The control chamber is provided with a power supply and a controller, which is responsible for the operation control of the entire device. The dilution chamber includes a stock solution tank, a clean water tank and a liquid preparation tank, which work together to complete the automatic dilution process. The stock solution tank is used to store the stock solution that needs to be diluted, and is provided with a stock solution inlet and a emptying port to facilitate the addition of stock solution and emptying operation. The clean water tank is used to store clean water for dilution, and is connected with the liquid preparation tank through a clean water peristaltic pump to ensure accurate delivery of clean water to the liquid preparation tank. The liquid preparation tank is used to receive liquid from the stock solution tank and the clean water tank for mixing and dilution. The clean water peristaltic pump and the stock solution peristaltic pump in the entire system are connected with the controller, thereby realizing accurate control of the liquid delivery amount, ensuring high precision and high efficiency of dilution, and ensuring the safety of operation.
[0009] As an option, the control chamber and the dilution chamber are surrounded by a box body, which is an integrated structure.
[0010] The integrated box body can provide better integrity and stability, helping to protect the internal components from external environmental factors such as dust, moisture, etc. Compared with a split design, the integrated box body tends to be more concise, beautiful and occupy less space, making it easier to install and place.

[0021] Integrally forming the stock solution tank, clean water tank, and mixing tank and fixing them to the inner wall of the dilution chamber can provide higher structural strength and stability, reducing the impact of vibrations generated during transportation or operation on the internal structure. At the same time, it also simplifies the installation process and reduces errors that may occur due to the assembly of multiple independent components. The partition between the stock solution tank, clean water tank, and mixing tank can effectively prevent cross-contamination between different liquids. The presence of the partition ensures that the liquid in each tank maintains its purity, which is particularly important for applications that require high-precision mixing. In addition, the partition can help optimize space utilization, making the design of the entire dilution chamber more compact and reasonable. Not only does it improve the durability and safety of the equipment, but it also ensures the accuracy of the operation. The integrally formed structure reduces potential leakage points and, through reasonable layout and partitioning, ensures that each liquid can be accurately processed. For users, such a design simplifies maintenance and provides more reliable performance, suitable for various applications that require strict control of liquid proportions.
[0022] Optionally, the stock solution tank, clean water tank, and mixing tank are provided with an overflow port on the upper side of the side surface.
[0023] When liquid is accidentally added in excess or the system fails, causing the liquid level to exceed the safety limit, the overflow port can ensure that the excess liquid is safely discharged instead of overflowing the container, thereby avoiding potential equipment damage or safety hazards.
[0024] Optionally, the control chamber is provided with a control door, and the control door is provided with a display screen.
[0025] The display screen is arranged on the control door, so that the user can directly perform various operations through the screen, such as setting the dilution ratio, monitoring the current working state, checking error information, and the like. This design makes the operation more intuitive and convenient, and most of the operation requirements can be completed without opening the control chamber. The display screen can display the working state of the system in real time, including but not limited to liquid flow, liquid level, working progress, and any possible warning or error information. This helps the user to understand the running condition of the system in time and make corresponding adjustments.
