Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing equipment technology, and specifically provides an infrared oil analyzer. Background Technology
[0002] An infrared oil analyzer is a detection instrument primarily used for monitoring water quality, hazardous waste sites, and oil-water separation processes, among other applications. In related technical solutions, a sample bottle is housed within the infrared oil analyzer's casing. This sample bottle requires specific settings for use, ensuring the nozzle and cap face the correct direction to connect to the corresponding supply and return lines, and facilitating easy cap removal and installation.
[0003] The inventors understood that some portable oil analyzers need to be used in the field, therefore the size of these analyzers needs to be small enough for a single person to carry. However, the requirement for the sample vials to be used vertically limits further reductions in the thickness of the oil analyzer. Adding an extra cavity to accommodate the sample vials lying flat would increase the length and width dimensions of the oil analyzer, which also hinders further reductions in size. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an infrared oil analyzer that can at least solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, one or more embodiments of this utility model provide an infrared oil analyzer, including a housing with an open-top cavity containing a sample bottle. A cover capable of opening and closing the cavity is mounted on the housing. The bottom of the cavity has a limiting groove comprising a first groove, a common groove, and a second groove connected sequentially. The first groove and the common groove can accommodate and limit a sample bottle in a horizontal position, while the second groove and the common groove can accommodate and limit a sample bottle in a vertical position. In the vertical position, the upper end of the sample bottle protrudes from the cavity; in the horizontal position, the sample bottle is below the upper end of the cavity.
[0006] The beneficial effects of one or more of the above technical solutions:
[0007] In this design, the housing cavity is divided into a first groove, a common groove, and a second groove. The common groove serves as a shared area, accommodating sample vials in both horizontal and vertical positions. This arrangement reduces the space occupied by the sample vials when they require different installation orientations, thereby facilitating the reduction of the infrared oil analyzer's length, width, and thickness, and enabling its miniaturization and portability.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can also refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] It should be noted that the infrared oil analyzer in this application only relates to the structural design when the housing and sample bottle are assembled. Other structural settings of the infrared oil analyzer, as well as other oil measuring structures and principles, can be found in existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
[0020] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an infrared oil analyzer, including a housing 2, with an open-top receiving cavity 3 inside the housing 2. The receiving cavity 3 contains a sample bottle, and a cover plate 5 that can open and close the receiving cavity 3 is installed on the housing 2. The bottom of the receiving cavity 3 has a limiting groove 9, which includes a first groove 91, a common groove 93, and a second groove 94 connected in sequence. The first groove 91 and the common groove 93 can accommodate and limit the sample bottle in a horizontal position, and the second groove 94 and the common groove 93 can accommodate and limit the sample bottle in a vertical position. In the vertical position, the upper end of the sample bottle protrudes from the receiving cavity 3; in the horizontal position, the sample bottle is lower than the upper end of the receiving cavity 3.
[0021] In this embodiment, the box body 2 has a first direction and a second direction that are perpendicular to its own thickness direction and are perpendicular to each other. The box body 2 and the cover plate 5 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. The axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the first direction. The first groove 91, the common groove 93 and the second groove 94 are arranged sequentially away from the rotating shaft along the second direction.
[0022] Specifically, the housing 2 is equipped with a wheel 1 at one end along the first direction and a handle at the other end. When it is necessary to move the oil meter, the wheel 1 is grounded, and the user can pull the handle to move the oil meter.
[0023] Additionally, the housing 2 is rotatably connected to the top cover 11, and the upper surface of the housing 2 forms an operating table. The top cover 11 can rotate to cover or expose the operating table. An operating screen 7 is provided on this operating table. This operating screen 7 is used to display oil measurement parameter information, not for inputting related oil measurement commands.
[0024] In this embodiment, a base 8 is installed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 3, and the base 8 is provided with a first groove 91, a common groove 93 and a second groove 94.
[0025] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pedestal 8 here is a split structure, consisting of an upper pedestal 81 and a lower pedestal 82, which are stacked along the thickness direction of the housing 2. The two can be fixed by means of adhesive or bolts.
[0026] In this embodiment, the sample vial includes a body and a neck. The diameter of the neck is smaller than that of the body. A cap is detachably mounted on the neck. A first groove 91 is used to accommodate and limit part of the body and neck structure, while another part of the neck structure is accommodated in a common groove 93. A tubing assembly is detachably connected to the cap.
[0027] Specifically, the bottle body and neck are integrally molded here, with the neck end away from the bottle body serving as the spout, where a cap is detachably attached via threads. More specifically, both the bottle body and neck consist of cylindrical sections, with a curved transition structure at the junction of the bottle body and neck. The outer diameter of the bottle body is larger than the outer diameter of the neck.
[0028] See you again Figure 5 The first groove 91 here includes a square groove body and a flared mouth portion. The common groove 93 is generally square, and the second groove 94 is also square, with the common groove 93 and the second groove 94 partially overlapping. The flared mouth portion of the first groove 91 here is a necked groove 92, which is used to accommodate the transition portion between the bottle body and the neck.
[0029] In this embodiment, when projected along the first direction, the first groove 91 and the common groove 93 do not overlap, while the second groove 94 and the common groove 93 partially overlap; when projected along the second direction, the first groove 91 and the common groove 93 completely overlap, while the second groove 94 and the common groove 93 partially overlap.
[0030] As one specific structural form, the receiving cavity 3 is located on one side of the box 2 along the first direction, that is, the receiving cavity 3 is offset relative to the center of the box 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, the widths of the first groove 91 and the second groove 94 along the first direction are equal to the diameter of the sample bottle 4, respectively; the width of the second groove 94 along the second direction is equal to the diameter of the sample bottle 4.
[0032] In this embodiment, a support pad 10 is also included. A portion of the support pad 10 is located in the second groove 94, and another portion is located in the common groove 93. The support pad 10 can support the sample bottle 4 that is placed flat in the first groove 91 and the common groove 93.
[0033] Specifically, the support pad 10 here is an elastic pad made of silicone or rubber, which facilitates the shock absorption operation of the sample bottle 4 in the receiving cavity 3.
[0034] Working principle: When the entire oil analyzer needs to be shut down for transport to different locations, the sample bottle 4 is laid flat in the first groove 91 and the common groove 93 of the receiving cavity 3. The inner wall of the first groove 91 abuts against and limits the outer wall of the sample bottle body 4, and the common groove 93 abuts against and limits the side walls of the bottle cap and neck of the sample bottle 4. Then, the cover plate and the top cover 11 are closed. The cover plate seals the receiving cavity 3, and the top cover 11 covers the operating surface of the housing 2. The user can then carry the oil analyzer in its closed state to different operating lengths.
[0035] When oil testing is required, open the top cover 11 and the cover plate to expose the operating surface and the receiving cavity 3. Lift the nozzle and cap of the sample bottle 4 so that the sample bottle 4 tilts upward. Continue to lift the sample bottle 4 to remove it from the first groove 91 and the common groove 93.
[0036] Set the sample vial 4 vertically so that the nozzle opening of the sample vial 4 faces upward. Then install the tubing assembly 6 at the cap. Insert the lower end of the sample vial 4 into the limiting space formed by the second groove 94 and the common groove 93, at which point the upper end of the sample vial 4 protrudes upward from the receiving cavity 3.
[0037] The technical solutions of this application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the above preferred embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this application, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above preferred embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of this application will fall within the scope of protection of this application.
