Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping technology, specifically a clamping device for testing samples. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of chemical raw material quality testing, the accurate determination of the metal particulate matter content in chemical raw materials such as ethyl acetate and methyl acetate is crucial. The content of these metal particulate matter not only affects the purity and quality of chemical raw materials, but may also have a significant impact on subsequent production processes using these raw materials. For example, in some precision chemical synthesis reactions, excessive metal particulate matter may act as impurities to catalyze side reactions, reducing product quality and yield.
[0003] Currently, the common detection method involves filtering chemical raw materials with test strips to trap metal particles on the strips. The test strips are then observed using an electron microscope. By analyzing the quantity, size, and other characteristics of the metal particles on the strips, the content of metal particles in the chemical raw materials can be calculated, thereby determining whether they meet quality standards.
[0004] Traditional methods of mounting test strips are relatively simple, commonly using simple clips or tape to fix the strips to the stage. Some laboratories use universal clips made of plastic or metal to secure the strips by clamping their edges. Others simply use tape to stick the strips to the stage.
[0005] When using clips or tape to secure the test strips, the clips may come loose due to vibration or improper handling, and the tape's adhesiveness may decrease after contact with chemical raw materials. This can cause the test strips to shift easily during electron microscope observation, and it is difficult to ensure that the edges and corners of the test strips are evenly and effectively pressed. This may result in wrinkles or unevenness of the test strips on the stage, affecting the clear imaging and accurate analysis of metallic particles on the test strips by the electron microscope.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a sample clamping device includes a base 1 and a clamping mechanism. The base 1 has a rectangular groove 11 in the middle, and a test sample strip 2 is placed in the rectangular groove 11. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping cover plate 3 and a positioning block 31. The top of the base 1 has four slots 12, which are located outside the sides of the rectangular groove 11. The bottom of the clamping cover plate 3 is provided with the positioning block 31, which is adapted to the slot 12. The side wall of the positioning block 31 is provided with a locking block 32, and the side wall of the slot 12 is provided with a locking groove 13, which engages with the locking block 32. The bottom of the clamping cover plate 3 is provided with a pressing block 33, which presses the corners of the test sample strip 2.
[0026] By cooperating with the positioning block 31 and the slot 12, and by engaging with the card block 32 and the card slot 13, the clamping cover plate 3 can be firmly fixed on the base 1. Combined with the pressing block 33 pressing the corners of the test paper, it can effectively prevent the test paper 2 of the test sample from shifting due to vibration or other reasons during the observation of the electron microscope, thus ensuring the accuracy of the observation results.
[0027] The positioning block 31 has a telescopic groove 4 on its side wall, and a spring 41 is provided in the telescopic groove 4. The locking block 32 is provided in the telescopic groove 4, and the side of the locking block 32 closest to the telescopic groove 4 is connected to the spring 41.
[0028] When the positioning block 31 is inserted into the slot 12, the side wall of the slot 13 presses against the locking block 32, causing the locking block 32 to move into the telescopic groove 4 and compress the spring 41. When the locking block 32 moves to the position aligned with the slot 13, the elastic force of the spring 41 pushes the locking block 32 out and into the slot 13, thus achieving the locking and fixing of the positioning block 31 and the slot 12. This elastic locking structure makes the connection between the positioning block 31 and the slot 12 more convenient and stable. When the positioning block 31 is inserted, the locking block 32 can automatically retract and pop out without additional operation, improving clamping efficiency; at the same time, the elastic force of the spring 41 can ensure a certain fastening force between the locking block 32 and the slot 13, enhancing the stability of the clamping device.
[0029] The test strip 2 has a circular detection end 21 in the middle, and the clamping cover plate 3 has a circular through hole 34 in the middle; the diameter of the circular through hole 34 is larger than that of the circular detection end 21.
[0030] The circular through-hole 34 in the middle of the clamping cover plate 3 corresponds to the circular detection end 21 in the middle of the test sample strip 2. After clamping, the circular detection end 21 can be exposed through the circular through-hole 34, facilitating observation of the detection end by an electron microscope. This design ensures that the clamping cover plate 3 fixes the test strip without affecting the observation of the key detection area of the test strip by the electron microscope, ensuring that the observation process is not obstructed by the clamping device, thus improving the accuracy and convenience of observation.
[0031] The outer wall of the base 1 is provided with an unlocking mechanism, which includes a limit cover 5, an unlocking plate 51 and a pressing plate 53. The slot 13 is connected to the outside. The limit cover 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the base 1. One end of the unlocking plate 51 is installed in the slot 13 and abuts against the side wall of the block 32. The other end is provided with a connecting rod 52. The connecting rod 52 passes through the limit cover 5 and is connected to the pressing plate 53.
[0032] When it is necessary to remove the clamping cover plate 3, the operator presses the pressing plate 53. The pressing plate 53 drives the unlocking plate 51 to move in the slot 13 through the connecting rod 52. The unlocking plate 51 pushes the locking block 32 into the telescopic groove 4, so that the locking block 32 is disengaged from the slot 13, thereby releasing the locking of the positioning block 31 and the slot 12, making it convenient to remove the clamping cover plate 3.
[0033] The bottom side of the card block 32 is provided with an arc surface. During the process of inserting the positioning block 31 into the slot 12, the side wall of the slot 12 first contacts the arc surface at the bottom of the card block 32. As the positioning block 31 is inserted, the arc surface guides the card block 32 to gradually retract into the telescopic groove 4, reducing the friction between the card block 32 and the side wall of the slot 12.
[0034] The clamping block 33 is made of elastic material; when the clamping block 33 of elastic material comes into contact with the corner of the test sample paper 2, it will deform to a certain extent due to its own elasticity, thereby better fitting the corner of the test paper and providing uniform pressure.
[0035] The size of the clamping cover plate 3 is adapted to the size of the base 1. The adaptation of the size of the clamping cover plate 3 to the base 1 allows the clamping cover plate 3 to accurately cover the base 1, and the positional relationship between the positioning block 31 and the slot 12, the pressing block 33 and the edge of the test paper and other components is accurately corresponded, ensuring the normal operation of the clamping device.
[0036] An elastic pad is provided at the bottom of the slot 12. When the positioning block 31 is inserted into the slot 12, the bottom of the positioning block 31 will contact the elastic pad. The elastic pad will undergo elastic deformation when subjected to pressure, providing a certain buffer for the positioning block 31. At the same time, it provides an upward thrust when the clamping cover plate 3 is removed, making it easy to remove.
[0037] The clamping block 33 is inserted along the corner of the rectangular groove 11 to effectively fix the corner of the test paper, prevent the test paper from shifting or wrinkling in the rectangular groove 11, and ensure that the test paper is in a flat state during observation, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of electron microscope observation.
[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The clamping device for testing samples is mainly used to fix the test sample paper 2 so that the chemical raw materials such as ethyl acetate or methyl acetate containing metal particles after being filtered by the test paper can be observed under an electron microscope to calculate whether the content of metal particles is qualified.
[0039] During operation, the filtered chemical raw material test sample strip 2 is first placed in the rectangular groove 11 in the middle of the base 1. Then, the positioning block 31 on the clamping cover plate 3 is aligned with the slot 12 at the top of the base 1 and inserted. The locking block 32, which is telescopically set on the side wall of the positioning block 31, will compress the spring 41 and retract inward under the action of the locking groove 13 on the side wall of the slot 12. When the locking block 32 is aligned with the locking groove 13, the spring 41 rebounds, causing the locking block 32 to lock into the locking groove 13, thus achieving a fixed connection between the clamping cover plate 3 and the base 1. At this time, the clamping block 33 at the bottom of the clamping cover plate 3 will press the edges and corners of the test sample strip 2 to ensure that the test strip will not move during observation.
[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
