[0002] In the process of treating wastewater in animal husbandry or industry, the concentration of metal ions affects the wastewater treatment methods and various treatment conditions, including time, temperature, and pH. Ammonium purpurate test paper is a test paper that can efficiently detect multiple metal ions such as calcium, cobalt, copper, nickel, manganese, scandium, and zinc. The core of the metal concentration measurement device based on ammonium purpurate test paper lies in using the color change produced by the reaction of ammonium purpurate with metal ions to indicate the concentration of metal ions, providing an important foundation for wastewater treatment in real production and daily life.

A drive component for driving the two long clips 29 to open and close is installed at the end of the mounting frame 28 near the long clips 29.

[0035] A paper filling slot 21 is provided on the top of the storage box 2. A paper filling cover 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the paper filling slot 21. A first magnet 24 is fixed on the top of the storage box 2, and a second magnet 23 is fixed below the paper filling cover 22. The first magnet 24 and the second magnet 23 are magnetically connected.

[0037] The device achieves the automatic dispensing, clamping, and immersion of test strips into the measuring bottle 5 for testing through an automatic test strip dispensing component and a moving component for clamping and moving the test strips. This improves the automation level of the measurement and reduces the impact of manual operation on the accuracy of test strip testing.

[0038] Figures 3 to 4 The second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is:

[0039] The moisture-proof component includes a through hole 16 on one side of the storage box 2, a placement shell 17 fixed on the side of the storage box 2 near the through hole 16, a cover 18 rotatably connected to the side of the placement shell 17 away from the storage box 2, a retaining ring 20 fixed on one side of the placement shell 17, and an elastic retaining strip 19 fixed on the side of the cover 18 near the retaining ring 20, the elastic retaining strip 19 engaging with the retaining ring 20.

[0040] This application effectively prevents the test strips from getting damp by using moisture-proof components, such as the desiccant housing 17 and its sealing structure, ensuring the test strips remain dry during storage and further guaranteeing the accuracy of the measurements.

[0041] Preparation of Ammonium Purpurate Test Strips: Wastewater typically contains multiple metal ions, and ammonium purpurate test strips can detect the concentration of various metal ions. The general preparation method is as follows: Transfer 10 mL of 0.5 g / L PAR colorimetric reagent into a 25 mL colorimetric tube, dilute to the mark with water:ethanol (1:1) to prepare the soaking solution. Cut filter paper into 3 mm × 100 mm strips, then immerse the strips in the soaking solution for 20 minutes. Afterward, remove and dry in a 70℃ oven for 15 minutes. The dried test strips will be yellow. Store them in a plastic bag away from light. Because ammonium purpurate is easily oxidized, nitrogen gas should be introduced during drying as a protective gas to maximize the retention of ammonium purpurate.

[0042] Based on the reaction characteristics of ammonium purpurate with metal ions, standard solutions of different concentrations were prepared, and these solutions were then brought into contact with test paper to observe the color changes. Color charts were created based on the intensity of the color for subsequent comparison.

[0043] The working principle of the metal concentration measuring device based on ammonium purpurate test paper is as follows: The housing 17 and the cover 18 form a sealed dry environment for storing desiccant to prevent the test paper from getting damp. The desiccant absorbs moisture in the housing through the through hole 16. Pressing the elastic clip 19 moves it closer to the storage box 2, thereby unlocking the elastic clip 19 from the clip ring 20, allowing the cover 18 to be opened for desiccant replacement.

[0044] Open the paper filling cover 22 to separate the first magnet 24 and the second magnet 23, and add ammonium purpurate test paper into the storage box 2 through the paper filling slot 21. After the test paper is added, the spring 10 causes the pressure plate 11 to always push the test paper into the storage box 2 towards the side close to the long plate 8. When the test paper is needed, open the flip cover 25 to separate the third magnet 26 and the fourth magnet 27, exposing the paper outlet 6. The electric push rod 7 pushes the long plate 8 and the rubber pad 9 through the telescopic movement, thereby using the friction between the rubber pad 9 and the test paper to squeeze the test paper and send it out from the paper outlet 6.

[0045] Linear motor 12 drives the moving frame 13 to move to the side close to the storage box 2. When the test strip moves out of the paper outlet 6, the drive component causes the long clamp 29 to close and hold the test strip. The drive component and linear motor 12 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The first motor 14 causes the screw 15 to rotate, driving the mounting frame 28 to move down along the inner wall of the moving frame 13, so that the long clamp 29 holds the test strip and moves down, so that the test strip is completely separated from the storage box 2. Then, the linear motor 12 moves the moving frame 13 above the measuring bottle 5, and the first motor 14 moves the mounting frame 28 down, immersing the test strip held by the long clamp 29 into the test liquid in the measuring bottle 5. When the test strip develops color, the long clamp 29 moves up to display the test strip. The metal concentration in the test liquid can be roughly obtained by colorimetric comparison using a colorimetric card.

[0046] Then, the linear motor 12 drives the moving frame 13 to move to one side of the waste box 4, the first motor 14 causes the long clamp 29 to move down, and the drive component causes the long clamp 29 to open and put the test paper into the waste box 4; then the linear motor 12 drives the moving frame 13 to return to the side close to the storage box 2.

[0047] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
