Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mineral element detection and analysis technology, and in particular to a portable multi-element rapid analyzer for mineral research. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of mineral research, it is necessary to analyze the content of each element in mineral samples. However, common laboratory analytical equipment is not suitable for field operations. Therefore, portable analyzers are more advantageous for field operations.
[0003] Portable elemental analyzers are also known as handheld elemental analyzers. During operation, the operator moves and scans the samples one by one by holding the handle in order to achieve the purpose of mineral analysis.
[0004] However, handheld elemental analyzers are quite heavy. During the scanning process, one disc is scanned and then moved to another, requiring the handle to be held continuously. This repositioning of handheld elemental analyzers is physically demanding, and the longer the operation, the greater the physical exertion, which is detrimental to occupational health. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable multi-element rapid analyzer for mineral research. In addition to the scanner body, it also includes a mounting base, which assists in the use of the scanner and reduces the difficulty of use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a portable multi-element rapid analyzer for mineral research, comprising a scanner body and a mounting base, wherein the scanner body is detachably connected to a lifting rod on the mounting base, a turntable is provided below the scanner body, the turntable rotates with damping on the mounting base, and the turntable has multiple grooves arranged in a ring, each groove being used to hold a disc.
[0007] In use, the turntable rotates so that any disc is directly facing the scanner body, and the lifting rod moves down, causing the scanner body to move down and contact the disc.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] The mounting base of this application features a damped rotating turntable, meaning the turntable will only rotate on the mounting base under a sufficiently large external force. Therefore, the turntable can rotate as needed. Simultaneously, the turntable has multiple grooves, each capable of holding a corresponding tray containing the material to be tested. The grooves are arranged in a ring, allowing each groove to follow a specific movement trajectory as the turntable rotates. Furthermore, the scanner body of this application is fixed by a lifting rod and located above the turntable. Therefore, the operating principle of this application is as follows: first, each tray containing material is placed in its respective groove; then, a sufficiently large external force drives the turntable to rotate, moving the corresponding tray directly below the scanner body. Once the external force on the turntable disappears, the turntable remains essentially fixed on the mounting base. At this point, the lifting rod is used to lower the scanner body to contact the tray directly below it, scanning the material within that tray. This process is repeated to scan and analyze the material in each tray.
[0010] The mounting base and turntable provided in this application can be used in conjunction with the scanner body to move the scanner body up and down, thereby scanning the materials in each tray without having to move the scanner body repeatedly, reducing the difficulty of using the scanner body; at the same time, the lifting rod can also limit the movement of the scanner body, so that the scanner body can contact each tray at almost the same angle, ensuring the accuracy of scanning analysis.
[0011] Furthermore, the turntable is a horizontally positioned disc, with grooves arranged in a ring on the upper surface of the turntable, and the annular center of multiple grooves is located on the center line of the turntable.
[0012] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is coaxially arranged below the turntable, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting base. A damping element is provided between the rotating shaft and the mounting base to dampen the rotation of the turntable on the mounting base.
[0013] Furthermore, the damping component includes a rotating gear and at least one movable retaining tooth. The rotating gear is fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft, and the movable retaining tooth engages with any tooth groove of the rotating gear. The rotating gear rotates to allow the movable retaining tooth to extend and retract on the mounting base and engage or disengage with each tooth groove of the rotating retaining tooth.
[0014] Furthermore, a mounting sleeve is provided around the rotating gear, and a movable retaining tooth is located between the mounting sleeve and the rotating gear. The movable retaining tooth is slidably connected to the mounting sleeve through a sliding rod, and a telescopic spring is provided between the movable retaining tooth and the mounting sleeve.
[0015] Furthermore, the lifting rod includes a fixed rod and a movable rod that are plugged into each other. A return spring is provided between the fixed rod and the movable rod, and a limit block is provided on the movable rod to limit the movement distance of the movable rod along the fixed rod.
[0016] The fixed rod is fixed to the mounting base, while the movable rod is detachably connected to the scanner body. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a portable multi-element rapid analyzer for mineral research includes a scanner body 300 and a mounting base 100. The scanner body 300 is an instrument in the prior art capable of analyzing minerals, such as the detector in patent application number CN202410228227.5, the scanner in patent application number CN202222410215.3, and the portable ore element analyzer of model XL3T. In this application, in addition to the existing analyzer, a mounting base 100 is also provided for use. The mounting base 100 serves as the main auxiliary mounting mechanism for the scanner body 300, so as to reduce or avoid the problems that exist when using the scanner body 300 alone.
[0025] The mounting base 100 of this application is a horizontally arranged block structure. A lifting rod 200 is vertically fixed on the mounting base 100. The lifting rod 200 can be detachably fixed to the scanner body 300 by means of clamps, bolts, or binding. The lifting rod 200 is used to limit the vertical movement path of the scanner body 300 on the mounting base 100, ensuring that the scanner body 300 moves according to a preset trajectory each time it moves up and down.
[0026] In this application, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the lifting rod 200 is a spring-loaded telescopic rod structure, indicating that when the lifting rod 200 changes length under external force, the external force disappears, and the lifting rod 200 can automatically reset. To facilitate demonstrating the connection between the lifting rod 200 and the scanner body 300, the lifting rod 200 of this application includes a fixed rod 210 and a movable rod 220 that are interlocked. The lower end of the fixed rod 210 is vertically fixed to the mounting base 100, and the upper ends of the fixed rod 210 and the lower ends of the movable rod 220 are nested together. A reset spring is provided inside the fixed rod 210, located between the fixed rod 210 and the movable rod 220. A pressure block 221 is provided at the upper end of the movable rod 220. In use, when an external force is applied to the pressure block 221, the movable rod 220 moves along the fixed rod 210 under the action of the external force, and when the external force disappears, the movable rod 220 can reset under the action of the reset spring. Correspondingly, the scanner body 300 is connected to the movable rod 220, so the movement of the movable rod 220 can drive the scanner body 300 to move. The mounting arrangement of the movable rod 220 and the fixed rod 210 limits the vertical movement of the scanner body 300 along the direction of the vertical mounting base 100. To ensure that the position of the scanned part body after it moves down is in effective contact with the disc 410 without damaging the scanner body 300, this application provides a limiting block 222 on the movable rod 220. The outer diameter of the limiting block 222 is larger than the inner diameter of the fixed rod 210. When the limiting block 222 moves down with the movable rod 220 to a position that contacts the upper end of the fixed rod 210, the movable rod 220 can no longer move down. The scanner body 300 mounted on the movable rod 220 also moves down to its lowest position. The scanner body 300 and the limiting block 222 are detachably connected to reduce the number of components.
[0027] This application includes a turntable 400 located below the scanner body 300. The turntable 400 can be a common circular or square disc, or other plate-like structures, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the turntable 400 of this application is a horizontally arranged disc. The turntable 400 rotates with damping on the mounting base 100. The damping rotation can be achieved by using a damping rotation shaft 430 or by using high friction to limit the rotation of the turntable 400. The damping rotation of the turntable 400 on the mounting base 100 allows the turntable 400 to rotate according to the usage conditions, avoiding the turntable 400 from rotating under unnecessary circumstances.
[0028] In this application, a specific structure is employed to dampen the rotation of the turntable 400 on the mounting base 100, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a rotating shaft 430 is coaxially arranged below the turntable 400. The rotating shaft 430 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 via bearings. A damping element is provided between the rotating shaft 430 and the mounting base 100. The damping element includes a rotating gear 510 and at least one movable retaining tooth 520, such as... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, this application provides four movable retaining teeth 520, which are arranged circumferentially around the rotating gear 510. The end structures of the movable retaining teeth 520 are adapted to the retaining groove structures of the rotating gear 510. The rotating gear 510 is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 430. The movable retaining teeth 520 are extended and retracted in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating gear 510. When the rotating gear 510 rotates, the movable retaining teeth 520 extend and retract on the mounting base 100, engaging or disengaging with the grooves 511 of the rotating retaining teeth. To facilitate the installation of the movable retaining teeth 520, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this application also provides an mounting sleeve 530 around the rotating gear 510. A movable locking tooth 520 is located between the mounting sleeve 530 and the rotating gear 510. The movable locking tooth 520 is slidably connected to the mounting sleeve 530 via a sliding rod 521. A telescopic spring 540 is provided between the movable locking tooth 520 and the mounting sleeve 530. When the turntable 400 is manually driven by the operator, it rotates, causing the movable locking tooth 520 to extend and retract, engaging or disengaging with the slots 511 of the rotating locking tooth. When the external force applied to the turntable 400 disappears, each movable locking tooth 520 will enter the corresponding slot of the rotating gear 510 under the action of the corresponding telescopic spring 540, thereby limiting the rotation of the turntable 400 and achieving the purpose of damped rotation of the turntable 400.
[0029] This application provides a plurality of grooves 420 arranged in a ring on the turntable 400, such as Figure 5 As shown, each groove 420 is arranged in a circular structure on the turntable 400. Each groove 420 is arranged in a circular structure on the upper surface of the turntable 400, and the center of the ring of multiple grooves 420 is located on the center line of the turntable 400. Each groove 420 is used to place the disc tray 410.
[0030] The principle of this application:
[0031] First, place each tray 410 containing material into each groove 420. Then, drive the turntable 400 to rotate with a sufficiently large external force so that the corresponding tray 410 moves directly below the scanner body 300. Once the external force on the turntable 400 disappears, the turntable 400 remains basically fixed on the mounting base 100. At this point, use the lifting rod 200 to move the scanner body 300 down to contact the tray 410 directly below it, and scan the material in the tray 410. Repeat this process to scan and analyze the material in each tray 410.
[0032] The mounting base 100 and turntable 400 provided in this application can be used in conjunction with the scanner body 300 to move the scanner body 300 up and down, thereby scanning the materials in each tray 410 without having to move the scanner body 300 repeatedly, reducing the difficulty of using the scanner body 300; at the same time, the lifting rod 200 can also limit the movement of the scanner body 300, so that the scanner body 300 can contact each tray 410 at almost the same angle, ensuring the accuracy of scanning analysis.
[0033] It is worth noting that the number of grooves 420 on the turntable 400 of this application is the same as the number of slots on the rotating gear 510, or the number of slots on the rotating gear 510 is N times the number of grooves 420, where N is a natural number ≥ 2. Therefore, by rotating a specific number of slots 511, the rotating gear 510 can ensure that each groove 420 is directly facing the bottom of the scanner body 300.
