Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning laboratory equipment, and in particular to an immersion tank. Background Technology

[0002] Immersion tanks are specifically designed for treating tubes and containers commonly used in heavy metal analysis in laboratories. After the liquid is removed from the tubes and containers, they undergo preliminary cleaning. However, in order to effectively remove residual heavy metals, the tubes and containers are typically immersed in an acidic medium for an extended period (usually 24 hours). This process dissolves the residual heavy metals in the acidic medium, eliminating them and allowing the tubes and containers to be reused.

[0003] Currently, the tube containers are placed in the soaking tank. However, due to the presence of air inside the containers and their relatively light weight, they cannot be completely immersed in the acidic medium, and their arrangement is often uneven, resulting in the inability to completely remove residual heavy metals. Furthermore, when removing the tube containers from the soaking tank, the operator's hands are easily corroded by the acid, making the handling of pipettes inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to improve the existing soaking pools by addressing the problems of incomplete removal of residual heavy metals and inconvenience in picking them up, and to provide a soaking pool.

[0005] The technical solutions for achieving the above objectives include the following:

[0006] The soaking tank includes: a tank body, a clamping assembly, and a driving device. The tank body forms a soaking cavity, and the clamping assembly is located inside the soaking cavity. The clamping assembly includes a first support plate and a rotating shaft. The first support plate is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are installed on both sides of the tank body, and the rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the tank body.

[0007] The drive device is connected to the rotating shaft and is located outside the pool body;

[0008] The first support plate has a plurality of first grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the first support plate, and each first groove forms a first clamping position.

[0010] The second support plate has a plurality of second grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the second support plate, and each second groove forms a second clamping position.

[0011] In one embodiment, both the first support plate and the second support plate are circular structures, and the outer diameter of the first support plate is greater than or less than the outer diameter of the second support plate.

[0012] The number of the first clamping positions corresponds to the number of the second clamping positions, and the size of the first clamping position corresponds to the size of the second clamping position.

[0033] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this document are for distinguishing names only and do not represent a specific number or order.

[0034] Unless otherwise stated or defined, the term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is considered "fixed" to another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "mounted" on another component, it can be directly mounted on the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or there can be an intervening component.

[0036] This utility model proposes a soaking tank 100, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a pool body 1 and a clamping assembly 2. The pool body 1 forms an immersion chamber 11, and the clamping assembly 2 is located inside the immersion chamber 11. The clamping assembly 2 includes a first support plate 21 and a rotating shaft 24. The first support plate 21 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 24. Both ends of the rotating shaft 24 are installed on both sides of the pool body 1, and the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably engaged with the pool body 1. One end of the rotating shaft 24 passes through the outside of the pool body 1 from the inside, and the rotating shaft 24 is at least partially located outside the pool body 1. The first support plate 21 has a plurality of first grooves 213, which are distributed along the circumference of the first support plate 21, and each first groove 213 forms a first clamping position 211.

[0037] Specifically, the soaking chamber 11 of the pool body 1 is used for pouring in the soaking liquid, and the first support plate 21 and the rotating shaft 24 are both disposed within the soaking chamber 11. The rotating shaft 24 is rotatably engaged with the pool body 1 and is used to support the first support plate 21. When the rotating shaft 24 rotates, it can drive the first support plate 21 to rotate within the soaking chamber 11. Since the first support plate 21 has multiple first grooves 213, which are distributed circumferentially along the first support plate 21, the first grooves 213 form a clamping mechanism for the tube body 4. The clamping position 211 fixes the tube 4 in the first groove 213; while the rotating shaft 24 is at least partially located outside the pool body 1. By driving the rotating shaft 24 outside the pool body 1, the rotating shaft 24 drives the first support plate 21 to rotate, and the tube 4 located on the first support plate 21 moves to the bottom of the soaking pool 100 by rotation, so that the tube 4 is completely covered by the soaking liquid. After the tube 4 has finished soaking and the residual metal has been removed, the rotating shaft 24 is driven again to move the tube 4 to the top of the soaking pool 100 for easy picking up of the tube 4.

[0038] Furthermore, when pouring the soaking liquid, the liquid level can be kept below the top of the first support plate 21. This means that when the first clamping position 211 is at the top of the soaking tank 100, it is not submerged in the soaking liquid, making it easy to retrieve. If soaking is required, rotating the first support plate 21 moves the tube 4 on the first clamping position 211 to the bottom of the soaking tank 100, solving the problems of existing soaking tanks 100 failing to completely remove residual heavy metals and being inconvenient to retrieve. Moreover, this soaking tank 100 has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0039] In some embodiments, to improve the stability of the tube 4 during immersion in the soaking tank 100, the clamping assembly 2 further includes a second support plate 22. The first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 24, and both the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are located within the soaking chamber 11. The second support plate 22 has a plurality of second grooves, which are distributed along the circumference of the second support plate 22, and each second groove forms a second clamping position 221. Each first clamping position 211 corresponds one-to-one with each second clamping position 221.

[0040] Specifically, a second support plate 22 is provided on the rotating shaft 24. The second support plate 22 has multiple second grooves, which form second clamping positions 221. The first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221 clamp the two ends of the tube body 4, increasing the number of fixing points of the tube body 4 on the clamping assembly 2 and preventing the tube body 4 from falling off the first clamping position 211 due to the buoyancy of the soaking liquid. Preferably, a third support plate, a fourth support plate, etc., can also be provided on the rotating shaft 24, depending on the stability of the tube body 4 at the clamping position. In this embodiment, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are the same size. When the two ends of the tube body 4 are placed on the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221, the tube body 4 is horizontally positioned.

[0041] Preferably, both the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are circular structures, and the outer diameter of the first support plate 21 is greater than or less than the outer diameter of the second support plate 22. Specifically, when the outer diameter of the first support plate 21 is greater than or less than the outer diameter of the second support plate 22, the tube 4 is placed on the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221, and the tube 4 is inclined so that the soaking liquid can be quickly filled into the tube 4. Moreover, compared with the tube 4 being placed flat in the soaking liquid, the inclined tube 4 can avoid being splashed by the soaking liquid when the gas overflows, and avoid being damaged by the corrosion of the soaking liquid.

[0042] Preferably, the number of first clamping positions 211 corresponds to the number of second clamping positions 221, and the size of the first clamping positions 211 corresponds to the size of the second clamping positions 221. Specifically, the plurality of first clamping positions 211 on the first support plate 21 are sparsely distributed, while the plurality of second clamping positions 221 on the second support plate 22 are densely distributed, satisfying that the size of the first clamping positions 211 and the second clamping positions 221 is the same, so that the first clamping positions 211 and the second clamping positions 221 clamp the tube body 4.

[0043] Preferably, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are arranged concentrically on the rotating shaft 24. Specifically, when the rotating shaft 24 rotates, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 move within the same range, and the tube 4 on the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 moves circumferentially along the rotating shaft 24, further realizing the movement of the tube 4 to the bottom of the soaking tank 100.

[0044] Preferably, the inner walls of the first groove 213 and the second groove are arc-shaped, forming an inner arc surface within the first groove 213 and the second groove. This inner arc surface is used to fit against the outer wall of the tube body 4. Specifically, the arc-shaped inner walls of the first groove 213 and the second groove provide an inner arc surface that fits against the outer wall of the tube body 4, increasing the contact area between the bottom walls of the first groove 213 and the second groove and the outer wall of the tube body 4, thereby improving the stability of the tube body 4 at the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221.

[0045] Preferably, to improve the stability of the tube body 4 at the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221, two elastic pads 212 are provided in each of the first groove 213 or the second groove. The two elastic pads 212 are installed on the inner arc surface and are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, when the tube body 4 is inserted into the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221, the outer wall of the tube body 4 compresses the elastic pads 212. After compression, the elastic pads 212 generate a reaction force to press the outer wall of the tube body 4, increasing the frictional resistance between the outer wall of the tube body 4 and the inner arc surface, thereby improving the stability of the tube body 4 at the first clamping position 211 and the second clamping position 221.

[0046] Preferably, the height of the first support plate 21 within the soaking chamber 11 is greater than the depth of the soaking chamber 11. Specifically, after the soaking chamber 11 is filled with soaking liquid, the soaking liquid cannot submerge the top of the first support plate 21. When the clamping assembly 2 moves the tube 4 to the bottom of the soaking tank 100, the soaking liquid eliminates residual metal in the tube 4. When the tube 4 moves to the top of the soaking tank 100, the tube 4 is positioned at the level of the soaking liquid, making it easy to remove the tube 4.

[0047] Preferably, the clamping assembly 2 also has a drive handle 23, which is mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 24 and located outside the pool body 1; the drive handle 23 is bent. Specifically, this drive handle 23 is similar to the crank handle of a tractor, and the drive handle 23 rotates around the rotating shaft 24 to form a lever structure, saving the force required to drive the rotating shaft 24.

[0048] Preferably, the soaking tank 100 also includes a drain pipe 3 and a fixing strap 31. One end of the drain pipe 3 is installed at the bottom of the tank body 1 and communicates with the soaking chamber 11. The fixing strap 31 is installed at the top of the tank body 1 and is used to fix the other end of the drain pipe 3. Specifically, since the other end of the drain pipe 3 is located at the top of the tank body 1, the outlet of the drain pipe 3 is relatively high, making it difficult for the soaking liquid to drain from the outlet. Since the drain pipe 3 is a flexible tube, when it is necessary to replace the soaking liquid, the fixing strap 31 is separated from the other end of the drain pipe 3, allowing the drain pipe 3 to be laid flat freely, and the soaking liquid in the soaking chamber 11 is discharged through the drain pipe 3.

[0049] Preferably, a sealed bearing (not shown in the figure) is also included. The sealed bearing is installed on the side wall of the pool body 1, and the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the pool body 1 through the sealed bearing. Specifically, the sealed bearing can reduce the frictional resistance between the rotating shaft 24 and the pool body 1, and reduce the force required to drive the rotating shaft 24. The sealed bearing can also seal the space between the pool body 1 and the rotating shaft 24, preventing the soaking liquid in the soaking chamber 11 from overflowing.
