Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of total moisture testing technology, and in particular to a sample receiving, sending and storing device for total moisture testing. Background Technology
[0002] Existing total moisture testing systems are usually installed near the sample preparation system. After the sample preparation system has prepared the sample, the total moisture testing system can directly perform moisture detection.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN112782033A discloses an automatic online moisture testing system, including an external chamber, a sample disposal device, a sample reduction device, a sample processing device, an oven, a mobile robot, a nitrogen generator, and a control device. The sample reduction device reduces the sample size, and the sample processing device and oven perform a full moisture test. However, this system lacks a device for storing sample bottles, resulting in direct discarding of the reduced-size samples, which cannot be recycled and stored, leading to sample waste. Furthermore, it hinders traceability when test results are abnormal. Additionally, the fixed testing procedure makes it inconvenient to receive samples sealed in sample bottles for full moisture testing, resulting in poor adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing that has high transportation efficiency, good safety and strong adaptability.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing includes a frame, a pneumatic transport mechanism, and a transfer mechanism. The frame is provided with multiple storage sections for placing sample bottles. The pneumatic transport mechanism is used to receive and send sample bottles, and the transfer mechanism is used to transfer sample bottles between the storage sections and the pneumatic transport mechanism.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0008] Each of the aforementioned storage sections is set up independently.
[0009] The pneumatic transport mechanism includes a pneumatic delivery pipe, a bottle holder, and a drive assembly. The bottle holder is located below the pneumatic delivery pipe, and the drive assembly is used to drive the bottle holder to rise and fall to dock with or separate from the pneumatic delivery pipe.
[0010] The drive assembly includes a lifting drive component, a guide component, and a slide rod disposed on the guide component. The slide rod is connected to the bottle holder, and the telescopic end of the lifting drive component is connected to the slide rod.
[0011] The bottle holder is equipped with a filter cylinder at its bottom.
[0012] The bottle holder is equipped with a rubber pad for cushioning the sample bottles.
[0013] The bottle holder is also equipped with a card reader for reading sample bottle information.
[0014] The bottom of the pneumatic delivery pipe is equipped with a sealing ring.
[0015] The pneumatic delivery pipe is also equipped with a detection component for detecting whether the sample bottle is in place.
[0016] The frame is also equipped with a card-reading and weighing component for reading information from and weighing sample bottles.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model uses a pneumatic transport mechanism to receive and send sample bottles, which has high transport efficiency and the sample bottles are always transported in a closed pipeline, ensuring good safety. Furthermore, the storage section can store sample bottles containing sample bottles that have been reduced and discarded or other pre-sealed sample bottles, and it is also convenient to send the stored sample bottles to the outside, making it highly adaptable.
[0019] 2. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model has each storage section that is independent and does not affect each other, so that the transfer mechanism can put and take bottles from any storage section without any order of picking and putting, making it more adaptable.
[0020] 3. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model, when receiving sample bottles, the drive component drives the bottle placement seat to rise and connect with the pneumatic conveying pipe. The external device inputs the sample bottle into the pneumatic conveying pipe. The sample bottle is pneumatically transported through the pneumatic conveying pipe and falls onto the bottle placement seat. Then, the drive component drives the bottle placement seat to fall and separate from the pneumatic conveying pipe. The transfer mechanism then transfers the sample bottle on the bottle placement seat to the storage section for storage. When sending sample bottles, the transfer mechanism transfers the sample bottle stored in the storage section to the bottle placement seat. The drive component drives the bottle placement seat to rise and connect with the pneumatic conveying pipe. The sample bottle is pneumatically transported through the pneumatic conveying pipe and sent to the external device. The structure is simple and reliable.
[0021] 4. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model allows air to enter or exit the pneumatic delivery tube through a filter cartridge when the sample bottle is being transported by the pneumatic delivery tube. The filter cartridge can reduce noise during operation of the pneumatic delivery tube and also filter the air to prevent impurities from entering the pneumatic delivery tube.
[0022] 5. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model has a card reader that can scan the chip on the bottom of the sample bottle and read the code. When receiving a sample bottle, the card reader can record the sample bottle code to facilitate the storage and management of the sample bottle. When sending a sample bottle, the card reader can verify the sample bottle code to prevent sending the wrong sample bottle and avoid sample loss.
[0023] 6. The sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing of this utility model has a card reading and weighing component that can identify the code of the sample bottle, weigh the sample bottle, and record the weight of the sample bottle. For example, the weight of the same sample bottle after loading the sample and the weight of the remaining sample after reduction can be compared to ensure the accuracy of the sample data.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0034] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a pneumatic transport mechanism 2, and a transfer mechanism 6. The frame 1 is provided with a plurality of storage sections 11 for placing sample bottles 9. The pneumatic transport mechanism 2 is used to receive and send sample bottles 9, and the transfer mechanism 6 is used to transfer sample bottles 9 between the storage sections 11 and the pneumatic transport mechanism 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing involves the following steps: When receiving sample bottles 9, an external device inputs the sample bottles 9 into the pneumatic transport mechanism 2. The pneumatic transport mechanism 2 transports and receives the sample bottles 9, and the transfer mechanism 6 then transfers the sample bottles 9 from the pneumatic transport mechanism 2 to the storage section 11 for storage. When sending sample bottles 9, the transfer mechanism 6 transfers the sample bottles 9 stored in the storage section 11 to the pneumatic transport mechanism 2, which then transports and sends the sample bottles 9 to the external device. This sample receiving and storage device for total moisture testing utilizes the pneumatic transport mechanism 2 for receiving and sending sample bottles 9, resulting in high transport efficiency. Furthermore, the sample bottles 9 are always transported within a closed pipeline, ensuring good safety. The storage section 11 allows for the storage of sample bottles 9 containing reduced-size discarded samples or other pre-packaged sample bottles 9, and also facilitates the sending of stored sample bottles 9 to external devices, demonstrating strong adaptability.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, each storage section 11 is set independently. Each storage section 11 is independent of each other and does not affect each other, so that the transfer mechanism 6 (e.g., transfer robot) can put and take bottles from any storage section 11 without any order of picking and putting, making it more adaptable.
[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the rack 1 is provided with multiple rows of placement plates, and each row of placement plates is provided with multiple storage sections 11 spaced apart. The multiple storage sections 11 are arranged in a rectangular array, which is reasonable and convenient for picking up and putting down.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the pneumatic transport mechanism 2 includes a pneumatic delivery pipe 21, a bottle holder 22, and a drive assembly 23. The bottle holder 22 is located below the pneumatic delivery pipe 21, and the drive assembly 23 is used to drive the bottle holder 22 to rise and fall to dock with or separate from the pneumatic delivery pipe 21. When receiving sample bottle 9, the drive assembly 23 drives the bottle holder 22 to rise and connect with the pneumatic conveying pipe 21. The external device inputs sample bottle 9 into the pneumatic conveying pipe 21. Sample bottle 9 is pneumatically transported through the pneumatic conveying pipe 21 and falls onto the bottle holder 22. Then, the drive assembly 23 drives the bottle holder 22 to fall and separate from the pneumatic conveying pipe 21. The transfer mechanism 6 then transfers the sample bottle 9 on the bottle holder 22 to the storage section 11 for storage. When sending sample bottle 9, the transfer mechanism 6 transfers the sample bottle 9 stored in the storage section 11 to the bottle holder 22. The drive assembly 23 drives the bottle holder 22 to rise and connect with the pneumatic conveying pipe 21. Sample bottle 9 is pneumatically transported through the pneumatic conveying pipe 21 and sent to the external device. The structure is simple and reliable.
[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 23 includes a lifting drive component 231, a guide component 232, and a slide rod 233 disposed on the guide component 232. The slide rod 233 is connected to the bottle holder 22, and the telescopic end of the lifting drive component 231 is connected to the slide rod 233. The lifting drive component 231 (e.g., a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod) drives the bottle holder 22 to rise and fall along the guide component 232 (e.g., a guide rail), which provides good stability and is not easily deviated, facilitating the docking of the bottle holder 22 with the pneumatic delivery pipe 21.
[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lifting drive component 231, the guide component 232 and the pneumatic conveying pipe 21 are fixed on the frame 1 by a support base, resulting in a compact structure.
[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a filter cartridge 221 is provided at the bottom of the bottle holder 22. When the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 delivers the sample bottle 9, air enters or exits the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 through the filter cartridge 221. The filter cartridge 221 can silence the air, reduce the noise when the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 is working, and also filter the air to prevent impurities from entering the pneumatic delivery pipe 21.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottle holder 22 is provided with a rubber pad 222 for cushioning the sample bottle 9. When receiving the sample bottle 9, the rubber pad 222 can cushion the sample bottle 9 falling onto the bottle holder 22 to prevent damage to the sample bottle 9.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottle holder 22 is also equipped with a card reader 3 for reading information from the sample bottle 9. The card reader 3 can scan the chip at the bottom of the sample bottle 9 and read the code. When receiving the sample bottle 9, it can record the code of the sample bottle 9 for easy storage and management. When sending the sample bottle 9, it can verify the code of the sample bottle 9 to prevent sending the wrong sample bottle 9 and avoid sample loss.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 211 is provided at the bottom of the pneumatic delivery pipe 21. When the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 is connected to the bottle holder 22, the sealing ring 211 can seal the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 and the bottle holder 22 (specifically, the sealing ring 211 is sealed by fitting with the rubber gasket 222 on the bottle holder 22), preventing air from entering or leaving between the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 and the bottle holder 22.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pneumatic delivery pipe 21 is also equipped with a detection component 4 for detecting whether the sample bottle 9 is in place. When receiving the sample bottle 9, after the detection component 4 detects that the sample bottle 9 is in place, the lifting drive 231 drives the bottle placement seat 22 to descend, preventing the bottle placement seat 22 from descending prematurely and causing damage to the sample bottle 9.
[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, the detection component 4 is signal-connected to the lifting drive component 231 for linkage. When the detection component 4 detects that the sample bottle 9 is in place, it controls the lifting drive component 231 to drive the bottle holder 22 to descend, which has a high degree of automation.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame 1 is further equipped with a card-reading and weighing component 5 for reading information from and weighing the sample bottle 9. The card-reading and weighing component 5 can identify the code of the sample bottle 9, weigh the sample bottle 9, and record the weight of the sample bottle 9. For example, it can compare the weight of the same sample bottle 9 after loading the sample with the weight of the remaining sample after reduction to ensure the accuracy of the sample data.
[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of the present utility model using the methods and techniques disclosed above, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the spirit and technical solution of the present utility model. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent substitutions, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
