Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dissolved oxygen concentration measurement technology, specifically a cooling device for a dissolved oxygen meter. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, oxygen concentration measurement is partially achieved using polarographic sensors. These sensors use gold and silver as the cathode and anode, respectively, with an electrolyte inside the electrodes. The outer surface of the cathode is covered with an oxygen-permeable membrane. A polarization voltage is applied between the anode and cathode. When dissolved oxygen permeates through the membrane to the surface of the gold cathode, a redox reaction occurs on the electrode. The electron flow from the anode to the cathode is then used to represent the measurement signal, i.e., the partial pressure of oxygen in the solution being measured, and thus the oxygen concentration is obtained.
[0003] Temperature has a significant impact on this measurement process. Portable dissolved oxygen analyzers are mostly used to determine the oxygen content in deoxygenated water of boilers in thermal power plants and chemical enterprises. Since the boiler requires a temperature of around 200℃, the condenser should not be turned on for a long time. The HK-258 portable dissolved oxygen analyzer is suitable for a temperature of 45℃, while the temperature of deoxygenated water at normal sampling points is usually above 60℃. Therefore, it affects the accuracy of dissolved oxygen measurement and the balance of measurement time.
[0004] The dissolved oxygen analyzers currently in use measure dissolved oxygen by passing it through a flow cell via an injection tube. Without a cooling device, the measured values are extremely slow to stabilize, the electrodes exhibit sluggish response at high temperatures, the data stabilization time is prolonged, and the electrodes are easily damaged, resulting in passive analytical work. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling device for a dissolved oxygen analyzer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A cooling device for a dissolved oxygen meter includes a storage component, a cooling component, a detection component, and a conveying component.
[0008] Furthermore, the cooling component includes a fixed housing, inside which an electronic cooler is installed for cooling the aqueous solution. The fixed housing has a fixed cavity. The electronic cooler includes a heat-absorbing plate installed at the bottom of the fixed cavity and a heat-dissipating plate suspended inside the fixed cavity. A P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor are disposed between the heat-absorbing plate and the heat-dissipating plate. Copper plates are installed between the P-type semiconductor and the heat-dissipating plate, between the N-type semiconductor and the heat-dissipating plate, and between the P-type semiconductor, the N-type semiconductor, and the heat-absorbing plate. The copper plates connecting the P-type semiconductor, the N-type semiconductor, and the heat-dissipating plate are separately installed, while the P-type semiconductor and the N-type semiconductor... The copper plate connecting the semiconductor and the heat absorber is a single piece. Two separately set copper plates are connected to the power supply to form a circuit. When DC power passes through the P-type semiconductor and the N-type semiconductor, a temperature difference is generated at both ends, i.e., the heat absorber cools and the heat sink heats. The heat absorber has interconnected U-shaped grooves inside. When the aqueous solution is transported into the U-shaped grooves, the heat absorber can absorb heat from the water, thereby completing the cooling of the aqueous solution. At the same time, the U-shaped grooves increase the flow time of the aqueous solution, thereby improving the cooling effect. A temperature sensor is installed in the U-shaped grooves to monitor the temperature of the aqueous solution. The analog signal is converted into a digital signal by the corresponding controller and displayed digitally.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveying component transports the cooled aqueous solution to the storage tank. The conveying component includes a pump installed on the side of the fixed tank. The input end of the pump is connected to the U-shaped groove, and the output end of the pump is connected to the storage tank by a pipe. When the pump is started, it can transport the cooled aqueous solution to the storage tank.
[0010] Furthermore, the storage device includes a storage tank for storing an aqueous solution. The storage tank has a storage cavity and a conical cavity inside. The conical cavity is located below the storage cavity and communicates with the storage cavity. The storage tank has an empty cavity inside. A valve body is installed inside the empty cavity. The input end of the valve body is communicated with the conical cavity. The output end of the valve body is connected to a water outlet pipe. When the valve body is opened, the aqueous solution can flow out of the storage tank through the water outlet pipe using the conical cavity.
[0011] Furthermore, the detection device is used to detect the oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution in the storage tank. The detection device includes an electrode installed in the storage cavity and a dissolved oxygen analyzer located outside the storage tank. The dissolved oxygen analyzer is equipped with a polarographic sensor and is connected to the electrode via a circuit.
[0012] Furthermore, the heat-absorbing plate and the heat-dissipating plate are both ceramic plates.
[0013] Furthermore, a heat insulation plate is installed inside the fixed cavity, and the heat absorption plate and heat dissipation plate are located on both sides of the heat insulation plate. The heat insulation plate separates the heat absorption plate and the heat dissipation plate, preventing the heat dissipation plate from affecting the heat absorption effect of the heat absorption plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a radiator is installed on the top of the fixed cavity, and several air holes are opened on the top surface of the fixed box. The driving end of the radiator can drive the fan blades to rotate, so that the internal air flows out from some of the air holes and the external air enters from other air holes, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the heat sink.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the cooling device for dissolved oxygen analyzers pre-cools the aqueous solution through an electronic cooler, which can effectively reduce the aging rate of the dissolved oxygen analyzer's electrodes, extend the service life of the electrodes, and save production costs.

Copper plates are connected between the P-type semiconductor 2006, the N-type semiconductor 2007, and the heat-dissipating plate 2005. The plate is set up separately, while the copper plate connecting the P-type semiconductor 2006, N-type semiconductor 2007, and heat absorber plate 2004 is a whole piece. The two separately set copper plates are connected to the power supply to form a circuit. When DC power passes through the P-type semiconductor 2006 and N-type semiconductor 2007, a temperature difference will be generated at the two ends, that is, the heat absorber plate 2004 cools and the heat dissipation plate 2005 heats. The heat absorber plate 2004 has interconnected U-shaped grooves 2010 inside. When the aqueous solution is transported into the U-shaped grooves 2010, the heat absorber plate 2004 can absorb heat from the water, thereby completing the cooling of the aqueous solution.

When the pump 4002 is started, it can convey the cooled aqueous solution to the storage tank 1001.
[0027] As an embodiment of this utility model, the storage component 100 further includes a storage tank 1001 for storing an aqueous solution. The storage tank 1001 has a storage cavity 1002 and a conical cavity 1003 inside. The conical cavity 1003 is located below the storage cavity 1002 and communicates with the storage cavity 1002.
