Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible material immersion, specifically to the field of flexible membrane immersion. Background Technology

[0002] During experiments, flexible membranes often need to be soaked in a soaking solution for reasons such as sample processing, material disinfection, and cleaning of membrane components within the equipment. The traditional soaking method involves directly placing the flexible membrane into a container filled with the soaking solution. However, when the membrane thickness is small, it may curl, and when a large number of membranes are being soaked, multiple flexible membranes may overlap and stick together, preventing the overlapping and sticking parts from fully contacting the soaking solution and thus reducing the soaking effect.

[0003] Currently, there exists a multi-layer material soaking device as disclosed in patent application number CN202021183803.2. This device includes a soaking cylinder with an internal cavity containing a soaking assembly. The assembly includes a central column that contacts the center of the cavity bottom. A first soaking net and two second soaking nets are sleeved on the outer side of the central column. The central column has two spring grooves inside, each with a connecting groove on both sides. A spring is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the spring groove, and a pressing block is fixedly connected to the top of the spring. Both ends of the pressing block are fixedly connected to sliders that penetrate the grooves. The sliders are on the same horizontal plane as the second soaking nets and are fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second soaking nets. A lifting ring is provided through the top of the central column, and a soaking net top cover is provided between the second soaking nets and the lifting ring.

[0004] During soaking, the flexible membrane to be soaked is placed on the soaking net to come into contact with the soaking solution and complete the soaking process. However, when the object to be soaked is thin, it tends to stick to the soaking net after soaking, making it difficult to remove. Secondly, the soaking device has a central column, and the flexible membrane to be soaked can only be placed along the circumference of the central column. Therefore, for larger flexible membranes, the diameter of the soaking device used must be greater than twice the diameter of the flexible membrane. This undoubtedly leads to a larger size and weight of the soaking device, and also requires more soaking solution to complete the soaking, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a flexible film immersion device to solve the problems of difficulty in removing objects with small thicknesses and inconvenience in immersing larger flexible films.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible film soaking device, including a soaking cylinder, a support is provided inside the soaking cylinder, at least one groove is provided vertically on the inner wall of the soaking cylinder, one end of the support is located in the groove and slides in cooperation with the groove, the top of the groove is provided with an opening, and the support can slide out of the groove from the opening.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this plan are:

[0008] In this design, the support is used to hold the flexible membrane. After soaking, the support can be removed from the soaking tank. Since the support is a single-layer structure, even if the flexible membrane is attached to the support, tilting or even flipping the support will allow the flexible membrane to quickly separate from the support under the action of gravity, making it easy to remove.

[0009] Secondly, the end of the support in this design is located in the groove, so the groove can limit the support and prevent it from rotating or shifting laterally. When the support is placed in the soaking tank, it will fall to the bottom of the soaking tank under its own weight and the weight of the flexible membrane. Therefore, even if the soaking tank is shaken during the soaking process, the support in this design will not shift, thus avoiding large-scale movement of the support that would cause the flexible membrane to slide off the support to the bottom of the soaking tank and be difficult to remove.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting block is fixed vertically on the inner wall of the soaking tube, and a sliding groove is located on the limiting block; the bottom of the sliding groove is higher than the bottom side wall of the soaking tube.

[0011] The advantages of this solution are as follows: Compared to directly setting a groove on the inner wall of the soaking tank, the wall thickness of the soaking tank at the position opposite the groove in this solution will not decrease due to the setting of the groove, thus the soaking tank in this solution can maintain greater strength. Secondly, the depth of the groove in this solution is not limited by the wall thickness of the soaking tank, so the depth of the groove can be set to be greater, thereby improving the limiting effect on the support.

[0012] Secondly, after the bracket slides into the trough, it abuts against the bottom of the trough. In this design, since the bottom of the trough is higher than the bottom of the soaking cylinder, after the bracket is installed, the bottom of the bracket is higher than the bottom side wall of the soaking cylinder. Thus, during soaking, the soaking liquid can flow from the gap between the bracket and the bottom of the soaking cylinder, ensuring that the soaking liquid fills all parts of the soaking cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a pressure plate that can be attracted by the support is provided above the support.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: In this solution, the pressure plate and the support are opposite each other. After the material to be soaked is placed on the support, the pressure plate is placed on the material. The force between the support and the pressure plate will press the pressure plate on the material, preventing the material from curling or floating on the surface of the soaking solution. This ensures that the material can fully contact the soaking solution and improve the soaking effect.

[0015] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first support plate and at least one second support plate. The second support plate is provided with a downward-facing slot. The first support plate passes through the slot, and the ends of the first and second support plates are located in a sliding groove and can slide along the groove.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The first and second support plates form a fan-shaped space, thus reducing the contact area between the support and the flexible membrane. This allows more of the flexible membrane to contact the soaking solution, thereby improving the soaking effect. Simultaneously, it avoids the flexible membrane sticking to the support and becoming difficult to remove.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one of the first support plate and the second support plate is provided with water-permeable holes.

[0018] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the soaking liquid can flow from the side of the first or second support plate through the water-permeable holes, thereby filling the soaking cylinder more quickly.

[0019] Furthermore, a cover is detachably connected to the top of the soaking tube, and at least one of the cover and the soaking tube has a through hole.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When a large number of flexible membranes need to be soaked, one flexible membrane is placed in each soaking tank, and then several soaking tanks are placed into another larger container for soaking. At this time, the soaking tanks separate and limit the flexible membranes, preventing them from sticking together and preventing soaking. When the soaking tanks are placed into another container for soaking, the through holes in this solution ensure that the soaking solution in the larger container can enter the soaking tank, facilitating soaking.

[0021] Furthermore, there are multiple soaking cylinders, and the top of the soaking cylinder is provided with an upper thread, and the bottom of the soaking cylinder is provided with a lower thread, with the lower thread and the upper thread engaging with each other; the bottom of the soaking cylinder is provided with a through hole.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: when soaking a large number of flexible films, each soaking tube still contains one flexible film, but the multiple soaking tubes in this solution can be connected to each other by upper and lower threads, so that all the soaking tubes can be neatly placed in a larger container, and because the adjacent soaking tubes are connected to each other, they are easier to move.

[0023] Furthermore, the bracket includes a clamp and a connecting block, the connecting block being connected to the clamp and located within a slide groove and capable of sliding along the slide groove.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When using the soaking device in this solution, the flexible membrane is clamped on the fixture, so it will not fall to the bottom of the soaking tank during the soaking process. After soaking, the fixture and flexible membrane can be directly removed by sliding the connecting block out of the chute. Since the flexible membrane in this solution is not placed on a flat surface such as a tray, it will not be difficult to remove as it will be in contact with the surface.

[0025] Secondly, when the diameter of the flexible membrane is large, multiple clamps are used to hold it along the circumference, and then the connecting blocks are slid into the grooves respectively. The flexible membrane can be fixed from different directions at the same time by multiple supports. At this time, the supports can also limit the flexible membrane to prevent it from curling.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting block is cylindrical, and a connecting rod is provided between the connecting block and the clamp, with both ends of the connecting rod fixed to the connecting block and the clamp respectively.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The connecting rod in this solution is a rigid structure. During the soaking process, since the connecting rod will not bend or deform, the clamp in this solution is laterally away from the side wall of the soaking cylinder, thereby avoiding the flexible membrane on the clamp from sticking to the side wall of the soaking cylinder and failing to soak fully.

[0028] Furthermore, the length of the connecting block at the lower end of the connecting rod is greater than the length of the connecting block at the upper end of the connecting rod.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: by flipping the connecting block, this solution can change the distance between the connecting rod and the connecting rod connected to the lower clamp, thereby changing the distance between two adjacent clamps in the vertical direction, ensuring that two adjacent flexible membranes in the vertical direction will not stick together due to the small distance, thus improving the soaking effect.

[0044] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation methods:

[0045] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: soaking cylinder 1, upper thread 11, lower thread 12, limiting block 2, sliding groove 21, through groove 22, cover 3, through hole 31, first support plate 4, groove 41, water-permeable hole 42, second support plate 5, slot 51, clamp 6, torsion spring 61, connecting block 7, connecting rod 71, spring 72, and pressure plate 8.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Example 1 is basically as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a flexible film soaking device includes an soaking cylinder 1 and a support. The support in this design includes a first support plate 4 and a second support plate 5. The first support plate 4 is perpendicular to the second support plate 5. The second support plate 5 has a downward-facing slot 51 in its middle, and the first support plate 4 has an upward-facing groove 41 in its middle. The middle portion of the first support plate 4 is engaged in the slot 51 and cannot slide relative to the second support plate 5 under the action of the groove 41. In practical implementation, multiple first support plates 4 and second support plates 5 can be set and arranged in a grid pattern to support the flexible film.

[0048] The soaking cylinder 1 is cylindrical, and multiple limiting blocks 2 are welded circumferentially inside the soaking cylinder 1. Specifically, the number of limiting blocks 2 is the sum of the ends of the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5. In this embodiment, four limiting blocks 2 are provided. A vertical groove 21 is provided on the upper edge of the limiting block 2, and the groove 21 is higher than the bottom of the inner cavity of the soaking cylinder 1. The ends of the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 correspond one-to-one with the groove 21. The top of the groove 21 is provided with an opening, and the ends of the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 slide into the groove 21 through the opening. At this time, the groove 21 limits the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5, preventing the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 from shifting during the soaking process.

[0049] A cover 3 is snapped onto the top of the soaking cylinder 1, sealing the cylinder 1. In practice, the soaking cylinder 1 can be used as a soaking container; the soaking solution can be directly placed into the soaking cylinder 1 to contact the flexible membrane. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 In actual implementation, through holes 31 can be provided at the bottom of the soaking cylinder 1 and on the cover 3. In this case, the soaking cylinder 1 is only used as a device for placing the flexible membrane. After the flexible membrane is placed in the soaking cylinder 1, it is laid flat on the support, and then the cover is closed. The soaking cylinder 1 can be placed in a container filled with soaking liquid for soaking.

[0050] After soaking, remove the soaking tube 1 and open the cover 3 to remove the flexible membrane. Since the space between the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 is large, the flexible membrane can be prevented from sticking to the support and being difficult to remove.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a pressure plate 8 is provided above the bracket. The pressure plate 8 is cross-shaped and can be attracted by the bracket. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressure plate 8 is a magnet, and the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 are made of metal that can be attracted by the magnet. In actual implementation, the magnet, the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 can also be wrapped with a plastic or rubber shell to ensure that the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 can attract each other with the pressure plate 8, while preventing direct contact with the soaking liquid when the soaking liquid is water, thus preventing the metal first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 from rusting.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the soaking device is used, after the flexible film is placed on the support, the cross-shaped pressure plate 8 is placed opposite the cross-shaped support and placed on the flexible film. The pressure plate 8 limits the flexible film to prevent it from curling or floating upward.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 6As shown, the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 in this embodiment are provided with water-permeable holes 42. In this embodiment, the water-permeable holes 42 can be in the form of through holes 31. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 Alternatively, a strip-shaped groove or a window with a large length and width can be used. In this embodiment, when the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 5 are used, the soaking liquid entering the soaking cylinder 1 can flow laterally to other parts of the soaking cylinder 1 through the water permeable hole 42, so that the soaking liquid is evenly distributed in the soaking cylinder 1 and evenly soaks the flexible membrane.

[0056] Example 4

[0057] Based on Examples 1 and 2, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the top of the soaking cylinder 1 in this embodiment is provided with an upper thread 11, and the bottom of the soaking cylinder 1 is integrally formed with an annular extension. The extension is provided with a lower thread 12, and the upper thread 11 can cooperate with the lower thread 12. When using the soaking cylinder 1 in this embodiment, only one flexible membrane is placed in each soaking cylinder 1. Before soaking, two soaking cylinders 1 are overlapped, and the upper thread 11 of the lower soaking cylinder 1 cooperates with the lower thread 12 of the upper soaking cylinder 1 to connect the two adjacent soaking cylinders 1 to each other, thereby facilitating movement and preventing the soaking cylinders 1 from scattering when placed into the container containing soaking liquid. This increases the number of soaking cylinders 1 that can be placed without changing the inner cavity size of the container, making it convenient to soak more flexible membranes. In actual implementation, through holes 31 can also be provided on the side wall of the soaking cylinder 1. In this case, the soaking liquid can enter the soaking cylinder 1 more quickly through the through holes 31 on the side wall for soaking.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, no through holes 31 are provided on the side wall, bottom, and cover 3 of the soaking cylinder 1. Furthermore, the support in this embodiment differs from that in Embodiment 1: each soaking cylinder 1 contains several supports, each including a connecting block 7 and a clamp 6. In this embodiment, the clamp 6 includes two lever arms arranged in a scissor-like pattern, hinged together, with a torsion spring 61 between them. The clamp 6 clamps the flexible membrane under the action of the torsion spring 61. An elastic sleeve is fitted around the part of the clamp 6 that contacts the flexible membrane to prevent direct contact between the rigid clamp 6 and the flexible membrane, thus avoiding damage to the flexible membrane.

[0060] A connecting rod 71 is welded to the end of the clamp 6 away from the elastic sleeve. The end of the connecting rod 71 away from the clamp 6 is welded to the connecting block 7. In this embodiment, the connecting block 7 is spherical and slides in conjunction with the slide groove 21. The limiting block 2 has a C-shaped cross-section and a through groove 22 is provided vertically along its upper edge. The through groove 22 communicates with the slide groove 21 to allow the connecting rod 71 to pass through. When the connecting block 7 slides along the slide groove 21, the connecting rod 71 slides along the through groove 22.

[0061] When multiple flexible membranes are soaked and each flexible membrane has a small diameter, the clamp 6 holds the flexible membrane, the connecting block 7 slides into the groove 21, and the clamp 6 is positioned by the connecting rod 71, which can prevent the multiple flexible membranes from overlapping and improve the soaking effect.

[0062] In actual implementation, in this embodiment, an elastic element can also be used to connect the connecting block 7 and the clamp 6, as shown in the reference. Figure 13 The elastic element can be a spring or an elastic band. When the diameter of the flexible membrane is large, each flexible membrane is clamped by four clamps 6 in the circumference. Then, the connecting blocks 7 connected to the four clamps 6 are slid into the four grooves 21 respectively. At this time, the four clamps flatten the flexible membrane from all sides to prevent the flexible membrane from curling.

[0063] Example 6

[0064] Based on Example 4, such as Figure 14 As shown, the connecting block 7 in this embodiment is cylindrical, and the connection position between the connecting rod 71 and the connecting block 7 is located above the middle of the connecting block 7. When the size of a certain flexible membrane is large, the connecting block 7 is slid into the groove 21 with the length of the part located on the lower side of the connecting rod 71 being greater than the length of the part located on the upper side of the connecting rod 71. This increases the distance between the clamp 6 on the connecting block 7 and the clamp 6 below it, thus increasing the distance between the flexible membrane and the flexible membrane below it. When the flexible membrane bends downward under the action of gravity, it avoids contact between the flexible membrane and the flexible membrane below it, further improving the soaking effect.
