[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0029] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a constant temperature bath, comprising: a constant temperature bath body 1, with a rotating placement rack 2 installed inside the constant temperature bath body 1; the rotating placement rack 2 includes two star-shaped racks 21, which are symmetrically installed inside the constant temperature bath body 1, and mounting plates 22 are installed between corresponding ends of the two star-shaped racks 21; multiple brackets 23 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plates 22, and the mounting plates 22 have openings 24 that cooperate with the brackets 23; and the mounting plates 22 are equipped with... A limiting plate 25 is provided, and a limiting opening 26 is provided on the limiting plate 25 to communicate with the through opening 24 and to be staggered. A pull rod 27 is fixedly installed on the limiting plate 25. A driving mechanism 3 is installed on the rotating placement frame 2, and two star-shaped frames 21 are driven to rotate coaxially through the driving mechanism 3. A telescopic mechanism 4 is installed on the rotating placement frame 2, and the mounting plate 22 is slidably connected to the star-shaped frame 21 through the telescopic mechanism 4. A reset mechanism 5 is installed on the rotating placement frame 2, and the limiting plate 25 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 22 through the reset mechanism 5.
[0031] It should be noted that: pulling the lever 27 drives the limiting plate 25 until the limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 are directly connected, the container can be placed into the bracket 23 from the limiting opening 26. Releasing the lever 27, the limiting plate 25 is reset under the action of the reset mechanism 5. The limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 alternately clamp and limit the upper end of the container. The telescopic mechanism 4 is used for the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 22. Each mounting plate 22 is equipped with a set of telescopic mechanisms 4 to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 22 for the placement and retrieval of the container. The drive mechanism 3 drives the star frame 21 to rotate slowly inside the constant temperature bath body 1 to realize the stirring of the liquid medium inside the constant temperature bath body 1, so that the liquid medium inside the constant temperature bath body 1 is kept in a flowing state, reducing the temperature difference of the liquid medium at different depths, so that the temperature difference of each part of the sample in the container is consistent, ensuring the accuracy of the experimental data. The container is completely immersed in the liquid medium to ensure uniform heating or cooling of the sample in the container.
[0032] When a set of samples on a mounting plate 22 needs to be taken, it is rotated to the top and then raised by the telescopic mechanism 4 to be taken. The remaining samples continue to be immersed in the liquid medium for heat exchange, so as to avoid the other samples being affected by the external temperature when taking samples.
[0033] Among them, the rotating placement rack 2 in this utility model is mainly for a series of containers with relatively standard specifications or shapes, such as test tubes and cups. The size and length of the inner cavity of the bracket 23, the size of the opening of the through 24 and the limiting opening 26 are determined according to the actual specifications of the container. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the sealing of the bottle mouth of the container to prevent the liquid medium from entering.
[0034] The constant temperature bath is equipped with a cover plate that is rotatably connected to it to seal and insulate the constant temperature bath. This is a common technical means in this field, and it is not shown in the attached drawings and will not be described in detail.
[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The bracket 23 includes a concave support plate 232 and multiple vertical rods 231. The multiple vertical rods 231 are arranged around and fixed at the opening 24 on the lower side wall of the mounting plate 22, and the concave support plate 232 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the multiple vertical rods 231.
[0036] It should be noted that the concave tray 232 is used to facilitate the placement of containers with round bottoms, and the concave tray 232 does not affect the placement of containers with flat bottoms. The multiple vertical rods 231 provide sufficient gaps in the bracket 23 to ensure that the containers can have a large area of contact with the liquid medium for heat exchange.
[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 Sponge pads 233 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the concave support plate 232 and the opposite side walls of the multiple vertical rods 231.
[0038] It should be noted that the container is protected by the sponge pad 233 to prevent the container from being damaged by hard contact with the bracket 23.
[0039] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive mechanism 3 includes a drive shaft 31, which is laterally rotatably connected to the inside of the constant temperature bath body 1. Two star-shaped frames 21 are coaxially fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 31. A drive motor 32 is also fixedly installed inside the constant temperature bath body 1, and one end of the drive shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 32.
[0040] It should be noted that the drive motor 32 is located inside the constant temperature bath body 1 and does not come into contact with the liquid medium. The drive motor 32 drives the drive shaft 31 to rotate, which drives the two star-shaped frames 21 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the stirring operation of the liquid medium inside the constant temperature bath body 1. It works in conjunction with the telescopic mechanism 4 to facilitate the storage and retrieval of samples.
[0041] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The telescopic mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 41. Cylinders 41 are fixedly installed on the opposite side walls of the two star-shaped frames 21. A piston rod 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 41. The upper end of the piston rod 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 22. Slide grooves 43 are provided on the two star-shaped frames 21. A slide rod 44 is slidably connected in the slide grooves 43. The upper end of the slide rod 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting plate 22.
[0042] It should be noted that: the cylinder 41 controls the extension and retraction of the piston rod 42, thereby realizing the synchronous lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 22 and the corresponding limit plate 25. During the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 22, the slide rod 44 slides in the slide groove 43, which improves the stability of the mounting plate 22.
[0043] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The reset mechanism 5 includes a reset spring 54, a transverse sliding cavity 51 is provided on the mounting plate 22, and a slider 52 is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity 51. The slider 52 is connected to the inner end wall of the sliding cavity 51 through the reset spring 54, and the slider 52 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 25 through the connecting block 53.
[0044] It should be noted that: when the pull rod 27 is pulled to one side, the slider 52, which is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 25 via the connecting block 53, slides inside the sliding cavity 51, compressing or stretching the return spring 54. When the limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 are aligned and connected, the container is placed in. When the pull rod 27 is released, under the elastic force of the return spring 54, the slider 52 drives the limiting plate 25 to return to its original position, so that the limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 alternately clamp and limit the container. The operation is simple and quick, and it is convenient for the storage and retrieval of samples.
[0045] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 Two pull rods 27 are fixedly installed on each limiting plate 25, and the two pull rods 27 on the limiting plate 25 are respectively close to the two ends of the limiting plate 25. There are two sets of reset mechanisms 5 on the mounting plate 22, and the two sets of reset mechanisms 5 are symmetrical and respectively located at the two ends of the mounting plate 22.
[0046] It should be noted that the two pull rods 27 on the limiting plate 25 facilitate the storage and retrieval of containers by left-handed or right-handed staff. At the same time, during use, when the reset spring 54 in one set of reset mechanisms is stretched, the reset spring 54 in the other set of reset mechanisms is compressed, ensuring the limiting effect of the limiting plate 25.
[0047] The limiting plate 25 should not be moved in the same direction for a long time to avoid the return spring 54 being stretched or compressed in one direction for a long time, which would reduce its elasticity.
[0048] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 7 Rubber rings 6 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the through-hole 24 and the limiting opening 26;
[0049] It should be noted that by setting rubber rings 6 at both the opening 24 and the limiting opening 26, when the opening 24 and the limiting opening 26 are used to clamp the container, the inner wall of the rubber rings 6 are prevented from directly contacting the outer wall of the container and causing damage to the container.
[0050] The working principle of the constant temperature bath provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0051] When maintaining a constant temperature on the container holding the sample, the cover plate on the body 1 of the constant temperature bath is opened. The drive motor 32 drives the two star-shaped frames 21 to rotate synchronously through the drive shaft 31, so that the empty mounting plate 22 rotates to the face-up position. The cylinder 41 controls the piston rod 42 to extend, thereby raising the mounting plate 22 and pulling the pull rod 27 to one side. The slider 52, which is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 25 through the connecting block 53, slides inside the sliding cavity 51, compressing or stretching the return spring 54. When the limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 are directly connected, the container is placed in. The bottom of the container falls to the bottom of the bracket 23, and the upper part remains above the limiting plate 25. The pull rod 27 is released. Under the elastic force of the return spring 54, the slider 52 moves the limiting plate 25. The position plate 25 is reset, so that the limiting opening 26 and the through opening 24 are staggered to clamp and limit the upper end of the container. The cylinder 41 then controls the piston rod 42 to retract, so that the mounting plate 22 is lowered and reset, and the container is completely immersed in the liquid medium. During the constant temperature storage of the sample in the container, the drive motor 32 drives the star frame 21 to rotate slowly inside the constant temperature bath body 1, so as to stir the liquid medium inside the constant temperature bath body 1, keep the liquid medium inside the constant temperature bath body 1 in a flowing state, reduce the temperature difference of the liquid medium at different depths, so that the temperature difference of the sample in the container is consistent, ensuring the accuracy of the experimental data. The container is completely immersed in the liquid medium to ensure uniform heating or cooling of the sample in the container.
[0052] When it is necessary to retrieve the sample stored on the corresponding mounting plate 22, the drive mechanism 3 drives the two star-shaped frames 21 to rotate synchronously, so that the corresponding mounting plate 22 rotates to the face-up position. The telescopic mechanism 4 then controls the mounting plate 22 to rise and pulls the lever 27, so that the container holding the sample can be taken out from the bracket 23 on the mounting plate 22. Then the telescopic mechanism 4 controls the mounting plate 22 to reset.
[0053] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
[0054] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
