If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model embodiment proposes a water bath with automatic descaling function, including a pot body 100, a first opening 110 and a pot lid 120, the pot lid 120 being connected to the pot body 100 through the first opening 110; a spraying mechanism 200, the spraying mechanism 200 being disposed at the lower part of the pot lid 120, the spraying mechanism 200 being used to spray acidic liquid and pure water onto the inner surface of the pot body 100; and a descaling mechanism 300, the descaling mechanism 300 being disposed at the lower part of the spraying mechanism 200, the descaling mechanism 300 including a driving device 310, a rotating scraper 320 and a telescopic rod 330, the driving device 310 being disposed at the upper part of the pot lid 120, the rotating scraper 320 being connected to one end of the telescopic rod 330, the driving device 310 passing through the spraying mechanism 200 and being connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 330, the telescopic rod 330 being arranged axially along the pot body 100.
[0031] It should be noted that the pot body 100 is provided with a first opening 110 for mounting the pot lid 120 and the spraying mechanism 200. The pot lid 120 is tightly connected to the pot body 100 through the first opening 110 to ensure sealing during the spraying and descaling process. The spraying mechanism 200 is located at the lower part of the pot lid 120 and is used to spray acidic liquid and purified water onto the inner surface of the pot body 100. The acidic liquid (such as dilute acetic acid solution) can chemically react with the scale, softening or dissolving the scale adhering to the inner wall of the pot body 100. The purified water is used to rinse the dissolved scale, preventing the scale from re-adhering to the inner surface of the pot body 100, and to dilute the acidic liquid. The spraying mechanism 200 is connected to an external liquid storage tank (not shown in the figure) through a pipe, and the type and flow rate of the spraying liquid can be adjusted as needed.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The descaling mechanism 300 is located at the lower part of the spraying mechanism 200 and includes a drive device 310, a rotating scraper 320 and a telescopic rod 330. The drive device 310 is located at the upper part of the pot lid 120 and provides power to the rotating scraper 320. The rotating scraper 320 is connected to one end of the telescopic rod 330 and is used to scrape off the scale on the inner wall surface of the pot body 100. The telescopic rod 330 is arranged along the axial direction of the pot body 100 and its other end is connected to the drive device 310. The distance between the rotating scraper 320 and the bottom of the pot body 100 is adjusted by the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 330 to ensure the scraping effect. During the descaling process, the spraying device is first activated, spraying acidic liquid onto the inner surface of the pot body 100. After the spraying device stops spraying the acidic liquid and the acidic liquid reacts with the scale for a period of time, the drive device 310 is activated, driving the rotating scraper 320 to rotate and scrape the scale off the inner surface of the pot body 100. Under the action of the telescopic rod 330, the spraying mechanism 200 removes the scale inside the pot body 100 from top to bottom. When the length of the telescopic rod 330 reaches its limit, the rotating scraper 320 stops working. At this time, the spraying device sprays pure water into the pot body 100 to rinse the inside of the pot body 100.
[0033] By integrating the spray mechanism 200 and the descaling mechanism 300, automatic removal of scale from the inner surface of the boiler body 100 is achieved without manual intervention, improving equipment maintenance efficiency. The automatic descaling function promptly removes scale from the inner wall of the boiler body 100, preventing corrosion and impacting the water bath effect, thus extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the automatic descaling function ensures the cleanliness and smoothness of the inner surface of the boiler body 100, improving the accuracy and stability of temperature control and guaranteeing experimental quality. The automatic descaling function also effectively reduces the occurrence of insufficient scale removal or excessive force that could damage the boiler body 100 during manual cleaning, lowering maintenance costs.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 The spraying mechanism 200 is provided with a liquid inlet channel 210, a connecting pipe 220 and multiple nozzles 230. The pot body 100 is provided with a first through hole 130, which is horizontally aligned with the liquid inlet channel 210. The connecting pipe 220 is connected to the liquid inlet channel 210 through the first through hole 130.
[0035] It should be noted that the liquid inlet channel 210, connecting pipe 220, and nozzle 230 form a complete liquid flow path, enabling the spraying mechanism 200 to directly and precisely spray liquids (such as acidic liquids and purified water) onto the inner surface of the pot body 100 through the liquid inlet channel 210, connecting pipe 220, and nozzle 230, forming a wide and uniform liquid spray range, allowing acidic liquids to fully contact all corners inside the pot body 100. Furthermore, the connecting pipe 220 is directly connected to the liquid inlet channel 210 through the first through hole 130, reducing additional connecting parts and potential leakage points in the spraying mechanism 200, preventing acidic liquids or purified water from leaking into the pot body 100 during the water bath process and affecting the water bath effect.
[0036] Reference Figure 5 The rotating scraper 320 includes a connecting body 321, multiple support rods 322, and a blade head 323. The connecting body 321 is provided with a second through hole 3211. The connecting body 321 is connected to the side of the telescopic rod 330 away from the pot lid 120 through the second through hole 3211. One end of each of the multiple support rods 322 is evenly arranged along the outer wall of the connecting body 321. The other end of each of the multiple support rods 322 is connected to one end of the blade head 323. The other end of the blade head 323 is in contact with the inner wall of the pot body 100.
[0037] It should be noted that the side of the telescopic rod 330 away from the pot lid 120 is fixedly connected to the connecting body 321 through the second through hole 3211. When the telescopic rod 330 extends or retracts, it drives the blade 323 to move up and down, so that the blade 323 can fully contact the inner surface of the pot body 100 from top to bottom. Since the two ends of the multiple support rods 322 are respectively connected to the connecting body 321 and the blade 323, they provide stable support and movement for the blade 323, thereby ensuring that the blade 323 can evenly cover the inner wall of the pot body 100 when rotating. The blade 323 directly contacts the inner wall of the pot body 100 to scrape off the scale on the inner surface of the pot body 100. Specifically, when the descaling mechanism 300 is working, the drive device 310 is activated, and the telescopic rod 330 drives the rotating scraper 320 to move and rotate along the inside of the pot body 100 to scrape off the attached scale.
[0038] It should be noted that the driving device 310 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a motor or cylinder, as long as it can realize the free extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 330. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.
[0039] Reference Figure 5Each support rod 322 is equipped with a brush 3221 on the side away from the pot lid 120. It should be noted that, under the action of the telescopic rod 330, the brush 3221 at the bottom of the support rod 322 can effectively contact the bottom of the pot body 100, and under the rotation of the telescopic rod 330, it can evenly scrub the scale on the bottom of the pot body 100, achieving a comprehensive cleaning of the scale on the pot body 100, and effectively avoiding cleaning dead corners and excessive wear on the bottom of the pot.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 A start / stop button 311 is located on the side of the drive unit 310 furthest from the lid 120. It should be noted that placing the start / stop button 311 on the side of the drive unit 310 furthest from the lid 120 allows the user to easily control the descaling function of the water bath without opening the lid 120. This effectively avoids the risk of the user directly contacting the high-temperature pot body 100 or internal mechanical parts. When descaling the water bath is required, the user does not need to open the lid 120; simply pressing the start / stop button 311 will allow the descaling mechanism 300 to perform the descaling operation on the inside of the pot body 100.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 A drain port 140 is provided on the lower side of the pot body 100. It should be noted that after the descaling device completes the cleaning of scale inside the pot body 100, the spraying mechanism 200 sprays pure water inside the pot body 100 to flush away scale residue and dilute acidic liquid inside the pot body 100. The flushed impurities are discharged through the drain port 140 on the lower side of the pot body 100. Timely discharge of acidic liquid effectively prevents impurities or corrosive substances in the solution from interfering with the water bath experiment results and prevents acidic liquid from accumulating at the bottom of the pot body 100 for extended periods, causing corrosion.
[0042] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bottom of the pot body 100 is also connected to a control box 400. The control box 400 includes a first placement cavity 410, in which the pot body 100 is placed. A heating device is provided at the connection between the first placement cavity 410 and the pot body 100.
[0043] It should be noted that the heating device is directly installed at the connection between the pot body 100 and the first placement cavity 410, which can transfer heat to the pot body 100 more directly and efficiently. There is no need to install a separate heating device at the bottom of the pot body 100. Heating can start simply by placing the pot body 100 into the first placement cavity 410. When it is necessary to clean or replace the heating device, the staff only needs to open the control box 400 to do so without disassembling the entire device.
[0044] It should be noted that after the descaling device completes the descaling operation and discharges acidic liquid and other impurities through the drain port 140, the spraying mechanism 200 sprays a sufficient amount of pure water to prevent the presence of some acidic liquid inside the pot body 100. After the acidic liquid is completely discharged, the heating device heats the pot body 100 to evaporate the remaining pure water in the pot body 100, thereby preventing any remaining impurities inside the pot body 100 from affecting the water bath effect.
[0045] Reference Figure 6 The control box 400 is equipped with a display screen 420, a start switch 430 and a temperature adjustment button 440, and a power plug is located at the bottom of the control box 400.
[0046] It should be noted that the display screen 420 can display the current temperature, set temperature, and other relevant information of the pot 100 in real time, allowing users to clearly understand the working status of the pot 100. The settings of the start switch 430 and temperature adjustment button 440 enable users to easily start the equipment and adjust the temperature. The operation process is intuitive and simple. The temperature adjustment button 440 allows users to precisely set the working temperature of the pot 100 as needed. Combined with the real-time feedback from the display screen 420, users can easily adjust the liquid temperature inside the pot 100, ensuring that the pot 100 is maintained within the required temperature range to meet the precise requirements of the experiment. Furthermore, the control box 400 integrates all operating components (display screen 420, start switch 430, temperature adjustment button 440) into a single unit, achieving an integrated design for the water bath. The power plug is located at the bottom of the control box 400, making it easy for users to connect the control box 400 to a power outlet, making the movement and placement of the equipment more flexible. Users can easily move the equipment to different locations as needed.
[0047] Reference Figure 6 The bottom of the control box 400 is equipped with multiple anti-slip bases 450. It should be noted that the anti-slip bases 450 increase the friction between the control box 400 and the placement surface, preventing the equipment from sliding or shifting due to vibration or external forces during operation, especially in processes requiring precise temperature control, such as water bath experiments. Furthermore, the anti-slip bases 450 are typically made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, effectively preventing direct contact between the bottom of the control box 400 and the placement surface, reducing wear and corrosion.
