[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove box technology, and in particular to a glove box transition compartment docking assembly that is easy to disassemble, assemble, and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum glove box is a device that fills a sealed chamber with high-purity inert gas (such as nitrogen or xenon) and circulates it through a purification system to remove active substances (such as oxygen, moisture, and organic gases). It is also known as a glove box, inert gas protection box, or dry box. Vacuum glove boxes are mainly used in laboratories or production environments to provide an ultra-pure environment that is free of water, oxygen, and dust. They are widely used in research and production of lithium-ion battery materials, supercapacitors, OLEDs, and special lamps.

[0003] Typically, a transition compartment is located on one side of the glove box to hold test objects. This compartment is usually fixed or flanged to the glove box. However, the transition compartment is prone to damage when transported via elevators and stairs, and the connection method makes disassembly, maintenance, and installation inconvenient. Therefore, we propose a glove box transition compartment docking component that is easy to disassemble and maintain to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glove box transition compartment docking assembly that is easy to disassemble and maintain, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A glove box transition compartment docking assembly that is easy to disassemble and maintain includes a glove box. The outer surface of the glove box has a transition opening. The outer surface of the glove box is provided with a mounting plate. Two sets of fixing plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate. Bearings are embedded on the side of one set of fixing plates that are close to each other. The inner rings of the two bearings are fixedly connected to a threaded rod. Handles are provided on the side of one set of fixing plates that are far from each other. The ends of the two handles that are close to each other are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the threaded rod through bearings. Symmetrical clamping plates are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. An inner transition compartment is fixedly connected inside the mounting plate. An outer transition compartment is slidably connected to the outer surface of the inner transition compartment. The right side of the inner transition compartment extends into the interior of the transition opening.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the other set of fixed plates are fixedly connected to a sliding rod on their adjacent sides, and the interior of both clamping plates is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sliding rod.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, protective pads are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates that are close to each other, and the sides of the two protective pads that are close to each other are in contact with the outer surface of the outer transition chamber.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate, and the right side of the sealing gasket is in contact with the left side of the outer transition chamber.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the glove box is fixedly connected to two sets of support rods, and the bottom ends of the two sets of support rods are fixedly connected to a base.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer surface of the glove box and the outer surface of the mounting plate are provided with symmetrical screw holes, and bolts are threaded into the interior of both sets of screw holes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This device rotates the threaded rod by turning the handle. The symmetrical clamps connected by the threads on the outer surface of the threaded rod allow the clamps to slide along the slide rod and clamp or release the outer transition chamber. The installation, fixing and disassembly of the outer transition chamber can be completed quickly by manual operation, which significantly improves the convenience of installation and disassembly. Through the cooperation of screw holes and bolts, the mounting plate and glove box can be fixed or disassembled, so that the connecting components can be replaced separately, reducing the maintenance and replacement costs.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 In this utility model, a glove box transition compartment docking assembly that is easy to disassemble and maintain includes a glove box 1. The outer surface of the glove box 1 has a transition opening 16. The outer surface of the glove box 1 is provided with a mounting plate 5. Two sets of fixing plates 8 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 5. Bearings 11 are embedded in the side of one set of fixing plates 8 that are close to each other. The inner rings of the two bearings 11 are fixedly connected to a threaded rod 12. Handles 17 are provided on the side of one set of fixing plates 8 that are far from each other. The ends of the two handles 17 that are close to each other are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the threaded rod 12 through the bearings 11. The outer surface of the threaded rod 12 is threaded with symmetrical clamps. 13. An inner transition chamber 10 is fixedly connected inside the mounting plate 5. An outer transition chamber 2 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the inner transition chamber 10. The right side of the inner transition chamber 10 extends into the interior of the transition port 16. The threaded rod 12 is rotated by the handle 17. Because the outer surface of the threaded rod 12 has symmetrical threads, the two clamping plates 13 move closer or further apart, thereby clamping or releasing the outer transition chamber 2. By inserting the inner transition chamber 10 into the interior of the transition port 16, the sealing between the glove box 1 and the inner transition chamber 10 can be effectively guaranteed. After the outer transition chamber 2 is inserted into the inner transition chamber 10, the two can be connected to form a complete transition channel.

[0021] Among them, the other set of fixing plates 8 are fixedly connected to the sliding rod 7 on their close sides. The interior of the two clamping plates 13 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the sliding rod 7. By providing the sliding rod 7, the clamping plates 13 can be restricted to slide only along their axial direction, thus preventing the clamping plates 13 from shifting when the threaded rod 12 rotates.

[0022] Protective pads 6 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates 13 that are close to each other. The sides of the two protective pads 6 that are close to each other are in contact with the outer surface of the outer transition chamber 2. By providing protective pads 6, the clamping force of the clamping plates 13 can be buffered and the clamping plates 13 can be prevented from scratching the outer surface of the outer transition chamber 2.

[0023] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 5. The right side of the sealing gasket 9 is in contact with the left side of the outer transition chamber 2. By providing the sealing gasket 9, the sealing at the connection between the mounting plate 5 and the outer transition chamber 2 can be effectively guaranteed, ensuring that the inside of the box is not contaminated.

[0024] Two sets of support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the glove box 1. The bottom ends of the two sets of support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the base 4, which can evenly distribute the weight of the glove box 1 and prevent the equipment from tilting due to single-point force.

[0025] The outer surface of the glove box 1 and the outer surface of the mounting plate 5 are provided with symmetrical screw holes 14. The two sets of screw holes 14 are threaded with bolts 15, which can facilitate the fixing or disassembly of the mounting plate 5 and the glove box 1, so that the connecting components can be replaced separately, reducing the maintenance and replacement costs.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] During use, firstly, the mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the glove box 1 using bolts 15, so that the right side of the inner transition chamber 10 on the mounting plate 5 extends into the transition opening 16 of the glove box 1, thus completing the fixed connection between the mounting plate 5 and the glove box 1. Then, the outer transition chamber 2 is aligned with the inner transition chamber 10, so that the outer transition chamber 2 fits onto the outer surface of the inner transition chamber 10 and contacts the sealing gasket 9 to ensure a good seal. Subsequently, the handle 17 is rotated, and the handle 17 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate through the bearing 11. The rotating threaded rod 12 drives the two clamping plates 13 to move closer to each other and clamp the outer transition chamber 2, thus completing the fixation of the outer transition chamber 2.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
