Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acceleration, and specifically refers to a temperature control device for COD digestion. Background Technology
[0002] COD, or Chemical Oxygen Demand, refers to the amount of oxidant consumed to oxidize reducing substances in 1 liter of water sample. It is converted into the number of milligrams of oxygen required to completely oxidize each liter of water sample. It reflects the degree of pollution in water by reducing substances, and therefore, the determination of COD in water is one of the important comprehensive indicators for assessing water pollution.
[0003] Existing online COD analyzers typically require several steps for water quality analysis, including sampling, mixing, digestion, and measurement. During the measurement process, in order for the testing agency to accurately obtain the detection sensor signal, the digested water sample needs to be cooled rapidly and effectively to reach room temperature to ensure accurate and effective data during testing. The traditional cooling method is natural cooling, which is not only inefficient in terms of heat dissipation, but also requires the heating element to remain in contact with the digestion tube. After the heating element generates heat, its residual heat continues to keep the digestion tube warm, preventing the water sample inside the digestion tube from cooling down quickly and hindering efficient water sample detection.
[0004] Existing technology 202121229946.7 discloses a COD digestion and cooling device. It uses an electric telescopic rod to drive the insulation shell and heating tube to extend and retract in coordination, which can make the insulation shell and electric heating tube separate from or adhere to the digestion tube. The cooling fan can effectively improve the cooling speed of the water sample, thus better meeting the needs of efficient and rapid detection. However, its cooling fan is set on both sides of the bottom of the assembly shell, which is a certain distance from the heating position of the digestion tube. When cooling, the air can only cool down two sides of the digestion tube quickly, and the cooling efficiency of the other two sides is low. In addition, multiple electric telescopic rods are set, which increases the cost. Utility Model Content

When the drive assembly 8 moves one set of heating components 6 toward the digestion tube 2, it can use the connecting rod assembly 9 to move the two sets of heat dissipation components 5 away from the digestion tube 2 and move the other set of heating components 6 toward the digestion tube 2. The connecting rod assembly 9 includes four sliding grooves 91 disposed at the bottom of the mounting housing 1, located directly below the two sets of heat dissipation components 5 and the two sets of heating components 6, and positioned toward the digestion tube 2. One end of each groove is disposed on the bottom of the two sets of heat dissipation components 5 and the two sets of heating components 6. The heat dissipation assembly 6 has four drive rods 92 extending from the bottom and the other end into the slide groove 91; eight limiting grooves 93 respectively set on the inner walls of the four slide grooves 91 on both sides; and four limiting plates 94 set on the four drive rods 92 at one end in the slide groove 91 and extending to the limiting grooves 93 at both ends. Connecting plates 95 are provided between adjacent heat dissipation assemblies 5 and heating assemblies 6. The two ends of the four connecting plates 95 are rotatably sleeved on the drive rods 92 at one of the heat dissipation assemblies 5 and one of the heating assemblies 6. The four connecting plates 95 form a parallelogram shape. Both heat dissipation assemblies 5 include a drive shell 51 slidably set at the bottom of the mounting shell 1, and a drive shell 51 positioned directly opposite the digestion tube 2. The mounting housing 1 has a first arc-shaped groove 52 that fits against the digestion tube 2, an arc-shaped air groove 53 located in the middle of the first arc-shaped groove 52, a fan groove 54 located inside the mounting housing 1 away from the digestion tube 2 and connected to the arc-shaped air groove 53, and a cooling fan 55 located inside the fan groove 54 for heat dissipation; the detection assembly 10 includes a light source emitter 101 located on one side of the outer wall of the mounting housing 1 and a light source receiver 102 located on the other side of the outer wall of the mounting housing 1 for receiving light; both sets of heating assemblies 6 each include a heating shell 61 slidably located at the bottom inside the mounting housing 1, a second arc-shaped groove 62 located on the side of the heating shell 61 facing the digestion tube 2 and fitting against the digestion tube 2, and a heating tube 63 located inside the second arc-shaped groove 62 for heating;The drive assembly 8 includes a protective shell 81 disposed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting shell 1 and located at the clearance opening 7; an electric telescopic rod 82 disposed inside the protective shell 81 with its telescopic end facing one of the heating shells 61; a mounting plate 83 disposed on the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 82; two telescopic rods 84, one end of which is connected to both sides of the side of one of the heating shells 61 away from the digestion tube 2 and the other end of which passes through the mounting plate 83; two limiting blocks 85 disposed on one end of the two telescopic rods 84 passing through the mounting plate 83; and two springs 86 respectively sleeved on the section of the two telescopic rods 84 located between the mounting plate 83 and the heating shell 61.
[0021] In use: When testing the extracted water sample using the COD online analyzer, the water sample and the detection solvent are injected into the digestion tube 2 through the inlet tube. Then, the electric telescopic rod 82 is activated, which moves the mounting plate 83. The mounting plate 83 compresses the spring 86, pushing the heating shell 61 towards the digestion tube 2. The heating shell 61 drives the drive rod 92 to move within the slide groove 91. Then, the drive rod 92 drives one end of the two connecting plates 95 towards the digestion tube 2. Immediately, the other end of the two connecting plates 95 drives the drive rod 92 at the bottom of the drive shell 51 away from the digestion tube 2. As soon as the sample moves, the drive housing 51 moves accordingly. The drive rods 92 at the bottom of the two drive housings 51 then drive the other two connecting plates 95 to move. The other ends of the connecting plates 95 then drive the drive rod 92 at the bottom of another heating housing 61 to move towards the digestion tube 2. Then, the other heating housing 61 also moves accordingly. The two heating housings 61 then drive the heating tube 63 to move towards the digestion tube 2. Once the heating tube 63 is in contact with the surface of the digestion tube 2, electricity is applied to the heating tube 63 to heat the digestion tube 2. After the water sample digestion is complete, the heating... Heating in tube 63 stops, then the electric telescopic rod 82 resets. The electric telescopic rod 82 then moves the heating shell 61 away from the digestion tube 2. The drive rod 92 moves one end of each of the two connecting plates 95 away from the digestion tube 2. The other end of each connecting plate 95 then moves the drive rod 92 at the bottom of the drive shell 51 towards the digestion tube 2. Then, one end of each of the other two connecting plates 95 moves towards the digestion tube 2, following the drive rod 92 at the bottom of the drive shell 51. The other end of each connecting plate 95 then moves the drive rod 92 at the bottom of the other heating shell 61. Moving away from the digestion tube 2, another heating shell 61 follows. Once the drive shell 51 is in contact with the digestion tube 2, the cooling fan 55 is activated. The cooling fan 55 then dissipates heat from the digestion tube 2 at close range and drives the airflow to move towards both sides of the digestion tube 2 through the arc-shaped air duct 53, thereby dissipating heat from both sides of the digestion tube 2 and effectively improving the heat dissipation effect. It should be noted that when the length of the four connecting plates 95 drives the two drive shells 51 and the heating shell 61 to move alternately, the two drive shells 51 and the heating shell 61 will not collide with each other.

All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
