Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass experiments and relates to a moving and flipping device for glass experiments. Background Technology
[0002] Platinum crucibles and furnaces are commonly used sample melting tools and equipment in the field of glass experiments. When it is necessary to convert solid samples into a molten state for further analysis or to prepare sample blocks, the material in the platinum crucible is melted at a high temperature of about 1000~1500℃ in the furnace, and then the molten liquid is quickly poured into a mold to cool and is used for sample block production.
[0003] Platinum, as a precious metal, has a high density and extremely high chemical and thermal stability, making it an ideal material for manufacturing high-temperature melting crucibles. However, it cannot come into contact with most other metals to avoid damaging platinum and affecting its service life and performance.
[0004] In practice, small-capacity, lightweight platinum crucibles can be directly removed from the high-temperature furnace using platinum clamps, allowing for rapid pouring of molten material into molds for sample preparation. This method is simple and quick, effectively improving sample preparation efficiency. However, when dealing with large-capacity platinum crucibles, the weight increases significantly due to the crucible's size and the internal sample preparation material. Using the same method becomes difficult, especially when tilting the crucible to pour material, as instability and the fluidity of the high-temperature molten liquid pose safety risks. Furthermore, the prolonged operation time can cause the molten liquid temperature to drop, potentially failing to meet sample preparation requirements and leading to sample preparation failure. This wastes time and materials and may adversely affect experimental results. Therefore, new measures are needed for moving and tilting large-capacity platinum crucibles during sample preparation in the laboratory to overcome these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moving and flipping device for glass experiments, which solves the problem of the difficulty in tilting and pouring large-capacity platinum crucibles.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A moving and flipping device for glass experiments includes a moving carrier, a flipping platform, a limiting plate, and a clamp;
[0008] The mobile carrier is mounted on the limiting plate, and the tilting platform is rotatably mounted on the mobile carrier via a rotating shaft. The bottom of the tilting platform is provided with a base plate, and a bottom heat insulation plate is provided on the base plate. A first upright plate is provided on one side of the tilting platform, and a second upright plate is connected to both sides of the first upright plate. A first vertical heat insulation plate is provided on one side of the first upright plate, and a second vertical heat insulation plate is provided on one side of the second upright plate. The first upright plate and the second upright plate form a U-shaped frame, and one end of the clamp is supported on the mobile carrier.
[0009] Furthermore, the mobile vehicle includes a frame and a plurality of wheels, the plurality of wheels being mounted on the bottom of the frame, with a gap between the frame and the wheels.
[0010] Furthermore, the frame is a scalable structure.
[0011] Furthermore, a platform is mounted on the frame for placing the sample preparation mold.
[0012] Furthermore, a limit strip is installed on the limit plate, and the wheel is disposed within the limit strip.
[0013] Furthermore, the angle at which the flipping platform rotates around the axis is 0° to 50°.
[0014] Furthermore, a stop frame is installed on the flipping platform, a stop rod is installed on the stop frame, and a stop sleeve is fitted on the stop rod. The stop sleeve is made of ceramic.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This invention provides a moving and flipping device for glass experiments. A flipping platform is rotatably mounted on a moving carrier via a rotating shaft. One end of a clamp is supported on the moving carrier. When preparing glass samples using a large-capacity platinum crucible for melting, the platinum crucible and its bushing can be moved out of the furnace using the moving carrier and clamp.

Insulation material is provided on the bottom plate of the flipping platform and the inner side of the U-shaped frame to reduce damage to the platinum crucible when the flipping platform is flipped to pour molten glass into the sample preparation mold, thus improving sample preparation efficiency and ease of operation. This invention is rationally designed and easy to operate. The moving and flipping device allows the platinum crucible and its bushing to be quickly moved out of the furnace platform, and the moving carrier and flipping platform are moved horizontally away from the furnace platform via a limiting plate. The flipping platform is used to quickly pour the molten material into a pre-set sample preparation mold, improving the success rate of sample preparation with large-capacity platinum crucibles. When used with large-capacity platinum crucibles in the laboratory, it greatly reduces adverse effects on sample preparation, saves manpower, and reduces safety risks during the process.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0034] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a moving and flipping device for glass experiments, including a moving carrier 1, a flipping platform 2, a limiting plate 3, a clamp 4, and a rotating shaft 5. The moving carrier 1 is mounted on the limiting plate 3, which has limiting strips. Wheels 12 on the moving carrier 1 are positioned within the limiting strips, allowing the moving carrier 1 mounted on the limiting plate 3 to move horizontally within a preset range. Figure 3 As shown, the flipping platform 2 is rotatably mounted on the mobile carrier 1 via a rotating shaft 5, and can rotate around the fixed rotating shaft 5. One end of the clamp 4 is supported on the mobile carrier 1, and the other end is used to hold the platinum crucible 8.
[0035] The mobile carrier 1 includes a frame 11 and several wheels 12. The wheels 12 are mounted on the bottom of the frame 11, with a certain gap between the frame 11 and the wheels 12. The frame 11 is a telescopic structure with adjustable height, allowing the tilting platform 2 placed on it to better adapt to the height of the heating furnace platform 6. The frame 11 has two areas with different heights. The tilting platform 2 is placed in the higher position and connected to the mobile carrier 1 via a pivot 5. The tilting platform 2 can rotate around the pivot 5 within an angle range of 0° to 50°, adapting to molten materials of different temperatures and viscosities, allowing the molten material in the platinum crucible 8 to be smoothly poured into the sample preparation mold. The sample preparation mold is placed on the lower platform, which is mounted on the frame 11, and the sample preparation mold can be moved horizontally on the platform.
[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the tilting platform 2 is provided with a base plate 21, and a bottom heat insulation plate 26 is provided on the base plate 21. A first vertical plate 221 is provided on one side of the tilting platform 2, and a second vertical plate 222 is connected to both sides of the first vertical plate 221. A first vertical heat insulation plate 271 is provided on one side of the first vertical plate 221, and a second vertical heat insulation plate 272 is provided on one side of the second vertical plate 222. The bottom heat insulation plate 26, the first vertical heat insulation plate 271, and the second vertical heat insulation plate 272 are all made of refractory materials. The bottom heat insulation plate 26 can reduce the heat conduction of the platinum crucible 8 and the bushing to the base plate 21, reduce the temperature of the base plate 21, and protect the operators during operation. Besides reducing heat conduction from the platinum crucible 8 and bushing to the first vertical plate 221 and the second vertical plate 222, the first and second vertical plates 271 and 272 are more importantly used to isolate the platinum crucible 8 from direct contact with the first vertical plate 221 and the second vertical plate 222. Both the first vertical plate 221 and the second vertical plate 222 are made of stainless steel, as contact between platinum and iron would deactivate the platinum surface and affect its performance. The first vertical plate 221 and the second vertical plate 222 form a U-shaped frame, which, along with the first vertical plate 221 and the second vertical plate 222, and the first and second vertical plates 271 and 272, can limit the movement of the platinum crucible 8 and the bushing, preventing the platinum crucible 8 from rolling.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the flipping platform 2 is equipped with a stop frame 23, a stop rod 24 and a stop sleeve 25. The stop rod 24 is installed on the stop frame 23 and the stop sleeve 25 is fitted on the stop rod 24 to prevent the platinum crucible 8 from falling off the flipping platform 2. The stop sleeve 25 is made of ceramic and can isolate the platinum crucible 8 from contact with the metal stop rod 24.
[0038] Handles 28 are provided on both the left and right sides of the tilting platform 2 for operation when tilting and emptying the platinum crucible 8. To reduce the high-temperature radiant heat of the platinum crucible 8, several rings 29 are installed at the bottom of the base plate 21. When tilting and emptying the platinum crucible 8, a longer metal rod can be inserted into the two rings 29 on the left and right sides, extending the operating distance and keeping personnel away from the platinum crucible 8, thus improving working conditions.
[0039] The working process of the moving and flipping device for glass experiments of this utility model is shown in Figure 2, including:
[0040] The heating furnace platform 6 is located inside the heating furnace frame 7, and the platinum crucible 8 is located on the heating furnace platform 6. A bushing is provided on the outside of the platinum crucible 8. After the sample is melted, the moving and flipping device is set on the side of the heating furnace platform 6, which is in contact with the side of the heating furnace platform 6. The frame 11 is adjusted so that the flipping platform 2 is flush with the heating furnace platform 6. The front end of the clamp 4 clamps the bushing of the platinum crucible 8 and moves it to the flipping platform 2. The moving carrier 1 and the flipping platform 2 support the rear end of the clamp 4.
[0041] Use clamp 4 to move the platinum crucible 8 to a safe position on the flipping platform 2, and drag the moving carrier 1 to move on the limiting plate 3 so that the flipping platform 2 is completely removed from the range of the heating furnace frame 7.
[0042] The sample preparation mold is placed on the platform of the mobile carrier 1 and can be moved horizontally. The flipping platform 2 is rotated around the rotating shaft 5 by the handle 28 on the flipping platform 2. The platinum crucible 8 containing molten glass placed on the flipping platform 2 can be flipped together, and the molten glass is poured into the sample preparation mold.
[0043] 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.
