Figure 8 For based on Figure 6 The diagram shown illustrates the structure when a funnel and a filtrate container are mounted on a funnel holder.

[0037] This invention provides a deformable combined funnel holder, which comprises two parts: a funnel assembly and a receiving assembly. The funnel assembly supports the funnels, ensuring they remain vertical during experiments. The receiving assembly receives the filtrate container (e.g., a beaker). The deformable combined funnel holder provided by this invention needs to be placed stably on a workbench (or other flat surface) during use.

[0038] In this invention, the structure of the funnel assembly is as follows: it includes a funnel support plate and a funnel assembly outer plate. Both the funnel support plate and the funnel assembly outer plate are flat plate structures, and in a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the funnel support plate and the funnel assembly outer plate are rectangular flat plates. The funnel support plate is a rectangular flat plate structure, and multiple funnel insertion holes 2 are evenly spaced at the middle position in the width direction and along the length direction of the funnel support plate. The funnel insertion holes 2 are used for inserting the funnel and can fix the funnel. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the funnel insertion hole 2 is a frustum-shaped hole structure that matches the shape of the outer surface of the funnel, which can improve the stability of the funnel in the funnel insertion hole 2 (preventing it from shaking). Furthermore, this invention can also provide a silicone sleeve at the edge of the funnel insertion hole 2, which can protect the insertion of the funnel and further improve the stability of the funnel in the funnel insertion hole 2.

[0039] Along the length of the funnel support plate, the funnel support plate has a segmented structure. The funnel support plate includes at least two funnel support plate units 1. The two adjacent funnel support plate units 1 are connected by a hinge. This allows the length and width of the funnel support plate to be changed as needed by flipping the funnel support plate units 1.

[0040] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the funnel support plate is composed of two funnel support plate units 1. The two funnel support plate units 1 have the same length and width, and the two funnel support plate units 1 are always located in the same plane (whether unfolded to become longer or folded to become wider, the two funnel support plate units 1 are always located in the same plane). The two funnel support plate units 1 are hinged, which means that the funnel support plate can be flipped from the middle.

[0041] In another embodiment of this utility model, the funnel support plate includes three funnel support plate units 1, specifically including one long funnel support plate unit 1 and two short funnel support plate units 1. The sum of the lengths of the two short funnel support plate units 1 is equal to the length of the long funnel support plate unit 1. The two short funnel support plate units 1 are disposed at both ends of the long funnel support plate unit 1. In this way, after the two short funnel support plate units 1 are flipped relative to the long funnel support plate unit 1, the length and width dimensions of the entire funnel support plate can also be changed.

[0042] The outer perimeter plate of the funnel assembly is vertically mounted on the funnel support plate to horizontally support the funnel support plate and provide vertical space for the funnel. Specifically, there are two funnel support plate units 1, which are the same length and width. In this embodiment, the outer perimeter plate of the funnel assembly includes a funnel back plate 5 and a funnel end plate 6. The funnel back plate 5 is located on one long side of the funnel support plate, and the funnel end plates 6 are located at both ends of the funnel support plate. In two adjacent funnel support plate units 1, the funnel back plates 5 on the funnel support plate units 1 are connected by hinges to realize the hinge connection between the two adjacent funnel support plate units 1.

[0043] In this utility model, the structure of the receiving assembly is as follows: the receiving assembly includes a receiving plate that is arranged vertically opposite to the funnel support plate during use. The receiving plate is a rectangular flat plate structure. Along the length direction of the receiving plate, the receiving plate is a segmented structure and includes at least two receiving plate units 3. Two adjacent receiving plate units 3 are hinged together. The two receiving plate units 3 are always located in the same plane. The hinged connection of the two receiving plate units 3 is used to change the length and width of the receiving plate as needed by flipping the receiving plate units 3.

[0044] In one structural optimization embodiment of this utility model, the receiving group further includes a receiving group outer plate 4, which is a rectangular flat plate structure. The receiving group outer plate 4 is vertically arranged on the receiving plate, and a hinge is provided between the receiving group outer plates 4 arranged on two adjacent receiving plate units 3 to realize the hinged connection between the two adjacent receiving plate units 3.

[0045] In this invention, the funnel assembly is the main structure. After the structure of the funnel assembly is determined, the structural dimensions of the receiving assembly can be optimized. In particular, the structure of the receiving assembly needs to be optimized at locations where interference may occur after the funnel assembly and the receiving assembly are combined, to ensure that the funnel assembly and the receiving assembly are stably assembled together. In one embodiment of this invention, the receiving assembly is structurally optimized as follows: after the two receiving plate units 3 are flipped and joined together, the receiving plate units 3 are spaced apart to accommodate the funnel support plate unit 1 after it is flipped and joined together, and the funnel assembly back plate 5 is inserted and accommodated.

[0046] Specifically, the two funnel group back plates 5 are hinged to each other by at least two hinges; the two receiving group outer plates 4 are hinged to each other by at least two hinges.

[0047] Specifically, the funnel support plate, the funnel group back plate 5, and the funnel group end plate 6 are edge-connected and perpendicular to each other.

[0048] A funnel insertion hole 2 is provided on the funnel support plate, and a receiving hole is provided on the receiving plate. Multiple receiving holes are provided on the receiving plate along its length, and the receiving holes are vertically aligned with the funnel insertion hole. Preferably, the funnel insertion hole 2 and the receiving holes are equally spaced. A silicone ring (rubber ring) can be provided in the funnel insertion hole 2, and a limiting rubber ring 7 can also be provided on the receiving hole. The rubber ring improves the stability of the funnel and the filtrate container. Alternatively, the limiting rubber ring 7 can be directly glued to the receiving plate.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, the funnel assembly is composed of multiple plates, and the receiving assembly is composed of multiple plates. In one embodiment of this utility model: the funnel assembly is an integral structure, or the funnel assembly is assembled from plates; the receiving assembly is an integral structure, or the receiving assembly is assembled from plates.

[0050] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a deformable combined funnel frame. By designing the original one-piece funnel frame into two independent structures: a funnel assembly and a receiving assembly, its special deformable combination structure can adjust the overall space occupied by the funnel frame. The funnel frame can be used in combination, separately, or stored, making its use flexible and mobile.

[0051] The deformable combined funnel frame provided by this utility model includes two components: a funnel assembly and a receiving assembly. The funnel assembly includes a funnel support plate with funnel insertion holes 2. Left (right) support plates are located at both ends of the funnel support plate, and a rear support plate is located on the long rear side of the funnel support plate. A hinge is installed between the rear support plates. The funnel support plate has multiple funnel insertion holes 2. The funnel support plate is perpendicularly connected to the left (right) support plate and the rear support plate. The left (right) support plate and the rear support plate provide support. The two rear support plates are connected by a hinge that can open and close 360°. The funnel support plate, the left (right) support plate, and the rear support plate can be integrally formed, embedded, riveted, or bonded together. The aforementioned left (right) support plate and rear support plate are all peripheral plates of the funnel assembly.

[0052] The receiving assembly includes a receiving plate with a limiting ring 7 positioned on it for placing the filtrate container. A support plate is located in the middle of the receiving plate (at the opposite ends of the two receiving plate units 3), and a hinge connects the two support plates. The limiting ring 7 is embedded in the receiving plate, and the filtrate container can be placed in the center of the limiting ring 7. The limiting ring 7 secures the filtrate container. During filtration, the limiting ring 7 is concentric with the funnel insertion hole 2 of the funnel assembly, ensuring that all the filtrate in the funnel drips into the filtrate container. The support plate is vertically connected to the receiving plate via a hinge that can open and close 360°. The receiving plate and support plate can be integrally formed, embedded, riveted, or bonded together. The aforementioned support plate is part of the outer plate 4 of the receiving assembly.

[0053] For the deformable modular funnel holder, the manufacturing material can be rigid sheet material such as wood, metal, or plastic. The rubber rings used in this invention are all made of rubber. The filtrate container can be made of glass, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), plastic, or other materials.

[0054] During storage, the funnel assembly and receiving assembly can be flipped, specifically by rotating the support plate around the hinge axis at a certain angle (180° in this embodiment), causing the funnel assembly to deform into a "T" shape or unfold into an "I" shape. The receiving assembly can deform into a "U" shape (more closely resembling an "L" shape) or unfold into a straight line. Specifically, during storage, the support plate can rotate around the hinge axis at a certain angle (180° in this embodiment), allowing the funnel assembly and receiving assembly to be combined in a "TU" configuration or in parallel. During filtration, the support plate can rotate around the hinge axis at a certain angle (180° in this embodiment), allowing the funnel assembly and receiving assembly to be combined in a "TU" configuration or in parallel. Furthermore, this invention can also rotate the support plate to other angles to obtain other combination configurations according to actual needs, all of which fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0055] During filtration, the number of funnels and filtrate containers inserted can be selected as needed. In this embodiment, one funnel and one filtrate container are inserted. The number of funnel insertion holes 2 on the funnel support plate and the number of upper limit rubber rings 7 on the receiving plate can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and both are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0056] This utility model's deformable combined funnel rack comprises two groups: a funnel group and a receiving group. A special hinge connection structure between the plates allows adjustment of the angles on both sides of the funnel and receiving groups. Furthermore, by adjusting the vertical arrangement of the funnel and receiving groups, the shape of the occupied space can be changed, facilitating collaborative experiments. The arrangement can also be modified according to the storage space required, simplifying storage. This deformable combined funnel rack is flexible and adaptable, allowing for both assembly and disassembly. It can simultaneously support and store multiple funnels and filtrate receiving containers, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0057] For the funnel assembly and the receiving assembly, they can adopt a one-piece construction structure (i.e., a one-piece structure) or a structure assembled from multiple plates. The plates can be fixed by nails and rivets or by adhesive bonding.

[0058] The prospects of this utility model are as follows: By adjusting the upper and lower combination of the funnel assembly and the receiving assembly, this utility model achieves the purpose of changing the shape of the occupied space, facilitating the coordinated conduct of other experiments. The combination shape can also be changed according to the size of the storage space, making storage convenient. This deformable combined funnel rack is flexible and mobile, capable of being assembled and disassembled. It can simultaneously support and store multiple funnels and filtrate receiving containers, resulting in high work efficiency. It is suitable for laboratory filtration processes in various industries such as metallurgy and environmental protection, and has certain application prospects in the field of chemical research.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
