[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "horizontal", and "vertical" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 As shown, a drying and purging integrated placement cabinet for holding volumetric flasks is provided. The placement cabinet consists of a drying zone 1 and a purging zone 2, which are separated by a cabinet panel 3 to form two independent chambers. The drying zone 1 is provided with multiple layers of first placement racks 4, and heating strips or heating blocks 20 are installed on the side walls around the first placement racks 4. The purging zone 2 is also provided with multiple layers of second placement racks 5, and a water receiving tray 6 is provided below the second placement racks 5. A through hole 7 is provided on the side of the second placement racks 5 away from the cabinet panel 3. The through hole 7 is located between the second placement racks 5 and the water receiving tray 6. A vent pipe 8 can be inserted into the through hole 7. The vent pipe 8 is connected to an external air pump 9. After the vent pipe 8 is inserted into the through hole 7, it is then inserted upward into an inverted volumetric flask 10 to start the purging operation. A through hole is also provided at the top of the second placement racks 5, and a fan 11 is placed in the through hole.
[0020] The integrated drying and blowing cabinet designed for volumetric flasks in this invention offers faster overall drying speed and better drying effect (no water stains will appear) compared to inverting the flasks for air drying, thus meeting practical needs. The drying and blowing areas inside the integrated cabinet can be used for blowing or drying according to actual conditions, making this invention more practical.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the first placement rack 4 consists of an upper limiting rack 12 and a lower rack base 13. The lower rack base 13 is fixed below the limiting rack 12 and has multiple holes 14 for easy placement and fixing of the volumetric bottle 10. The upper limiting rack 12 consists of two left and right arranged inserts 15. The inserts 15 are installed in the grooves 16 opened on the left and right side walls. A certain gap is left between the two inserts 15 as an insertion track 17 to facilitate the insertion of the volumetric bottle 10.
[0022] like Figure 3As shown, the second placement rack 5 consists of sockets 18 on the left and right sides. The sockets 18 are fixed in slots 19 on the left and right sides, with a gap between them serving as a channel for placing the volumetric flask 10. The volumetric flask is inverted, with its mouth facing downwards, directly opposite the water tray 6 below. The sockets 18 on the left and right sides also have two opposing semi-circular positioning slots (not shown in the figure). A top plate 21 is also provided above the sockets 18, fixed in the slots on the left and right sides. The top plate 21 prevents the volumetric flask 10 from being blown up during purging, serving as a limiting device. The sockets 18 also have drainage holes 22. These drainage holes ensure that water does not accumulate on the sockets but flows into the water tray.
[0023] Above the second placement rack 5, at the top of the blowing wall, there is a through hole 7. A fan 11 is installed in the through hole, and the fan 11 faces downward to blow the body of the volumetric flask 10. The volumetric flask channels on the second placement rack 5 are distributed on the left, middle, or right side, and the upper and lower channels are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0024] In this invention, the channel is arranged in a forked manner, which can effectively ensure that the volumetric bottles above and below are arranged in a forked manner in the vertical direction, and better ensure that the water in the volumetric bottles falls into the water receiving tray.
[0025] The cabinet door is equipped with upper and lower tracks 23, and a sliding door 24 is installed within the tracks 23. The sliding door 24 has a handle 25. The sliding door 24 can be closed between the drying zone 1 and the blowing zone 2; it moves to the blowing zone 2 during blowing and to the drying zone 1 during drying. The bottom of the cabinet is also equipped with casters 26 for easy movement.
[0026] This utility model has two working processes, as detailed below:
[0027] Purging area: Invert several cleaned volumetric flasks and insert them between two sockets through the flask channels. Then, insert the air pipes (the same number as the volumetric flasks) with the air pump installed into the flask mouths of the flasks through the through holes on the side of the cabinet. Purge the volumetric flasks, allowing the water inside to flow into the drip tray below. After purging, remove the drip tray at the top, leaving only the bottom drip tray. Turn on the fan for auxiliary purging. Water on the outer wall of the volumetric flasks will flow down the flasks into the bottom drip tray. The drip tray can be pulled out for unified treatment. The purged volumetric flasks can be hung up or further dried and disinfected.
[0028] Drying area: Place the washed or dried volumetric flasks on the first rack and dry them by turning on the heating strip or heating block to ensure that the outside and inside of the volumetric flasks are dry and free of water stains. Of course, you can also install a UV sterilization lamp for sterilization. The drying temperature and time can be adjusted according to the number of flasks. After drying, they can be placed directly in the drying area for the next use.
[0029] The purging and drying areas in the storage cabinet of this invention can be used separately or together. There is no specific order between them; they can be used according to actual needs. If you are in a hurry, you can purge first and then dry; if you are not in a hurry, you can dry or purge separately. Of course, there are also special volumetric flasks that are not suitable for drying due to the special nature of the solutions they contain and the special coatings on their exteriors. In these cases, they need to be dried by blowing. Of course, you can also let them air dry naturally by inverting them after washing without any operation. Therefore, this invention has a wider range of applications and is suitable for various volumetric flasks.
[0030] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
