Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying ovens, and more particularly to a laboratory glass bottle drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Volumetric flasks are frequently used in laboratory reagent preparation. However, the expansion and contraction of the glass material at high temperatures affects the volume of these flasks, leading to inaccurate readings. Therefore, laboratories prohibit drying volumetric flasks using hot air or oven drying methods. Existing equipment is mostly integrated glass cleaning and drying systems, but these systems have limitations such as long cleaning and drying cycles, high water consumption, and the inability to stop adding or removing flasks midway through the process. This makes it difficult to obtain dried volumetric flasks promptly during laboratory experiments, necessitating the purchase of more flasks, increasing both purchase and inspection costs, and requiring excessive storage space. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a laboratory glass bottle drying device to overcome the problem that existing integrated cleaning and drying devices cannot add or remove volumetric flasks midway.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0028] When ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are mentioned in the embodiments of this application, unless they actually express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being used only for distinction.
[0029] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] Example: Figures 1 to 8 The laboratory glass bottle drying device shown includes an air outlet control device 1 and a housing 2 located on one side of the air outlet control device 1. The housing 2 is characterized by a flip-open top panel 21, a bracket 22 inside the housing 2, and an air outlet component 23 connected to the air outlet control device 1. The bracket 22 has several placement portions 221 for placing glass bottles to be dried, and the air outlet component 23 has several air outlets 231 corresponding to the placement portions 221. With this structure, after the laboratory has used and cleaned the volumetric flasks, the top panel 21 is opened, the volumetric flasks are placed upside down on the placement portions 221 of the bracket 22, aligned with the air outlets 231, the top panel 21 is closed, and the air outlet control device 1 is operated to start drying the volumetric flasks. During the drying process, dried volumetric flasks can be removed at any time, and newly washed volumetric flasks that need drying can be added at any time. The drying speed is fast, the cycle is short, and the laboratory does not need to purchase more volumetric flasks, saving on purchase costs, storage space, and volumetric flask inspection costs.
[0031] Furthermore, one side of the housing 2 is provided with an opening 24 and a locking part 25. The opening 24 extends along the height direction, and the air outlet 23 extends out of the opening 24 and can move along the opening 24. The locking part 25 can lock or unlock the air outlet 23 at the height position of the opening 24. The structure is simple, and the adjustable height air outlet 231 makes drying more convenient and faster, saving drying time.
[0032] Furthermore, common volumetric flask sizes are 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, and 250ml. The air outlet 23 has five rows, each used in the drying process of these five common volumetric flasks. The multi-row air outlet 23 allows for adjustment to different heights to dry different sizes of volumetric flasks during the drying process.
[0033] Furthermore, the air outlet component 23 includes a main air outlet duct 232, which includes several branches 234. Each branch 234 is connected to a silicone flexible tube 233. The other end of the silicone flexible tube 233 is provided with a diverter pipe 235, and the air outlet 231 is located on the diverter pipe 235. During movement, the silicone flexible tube 233 remains in a relaxed state, resulting in a simple and stable structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the air outlet 231 includes a drying needle 2311 extending along the direction close to the placement part 221. The end of the drying needle 2311 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 2312 distributed circumferentially. Both the air outlet 23 and the drying needle 2311 are made of stainless steel, which is lightweight and easy to move. The drying needle 2311 will reach the bottom of the volumetric flask under the action of the air outlet 23. Preferably, the drying needle 2311 is provided with four air outlet holes 2312, which can dry the inside of the volumetric flask from four directions. Since the diameter of the drying needle 2311 is too large, it is easy to cause the drying air pressure to be too low and the drying effect to be poor. If the diameter is too small, the air volume will be too small and it will not be easy to dry. Therefore, the diameter of the drying needle 2311 can be set to 1.5-2.5 mm. Preferably, the diameter is set to 2 mm, which provides moderate air pressure and air volume and the best drying effect.
[0035] Furthermore, the housing 2 is also equipped with several nozzles 214 for drying the exterior of the glass bottle. The nozzles 214 can be located at the four corners of the top of the housing 2, or at other locations on the top. The nozzles 214 are connected to the housing 2. Drying air is blown into the volumetric flask through the drying needle 2311, then blown out from the flask opening into the housing 2, and then out through the opening 24, before being blown onto the outer wall of the volumetric flask by the nozzles 214, thus assisting in drying the volumetric flask. This significantly increases the drying speed of the volumetric flask, making drying more convenient and saving drying time.
[0036] Furthermore, the air outlet control device 1 includes a control panel 11, a blower connected to the air outlet component 23, a filter located between the blower and the air outlet component 23, a dehumidifier, and a temperature and humidity probe. The filter is used to filter out airborne particles and lint, ensuring air quality and preventing contamination of the clean volumetric flask by these particles and lint; a 5μm air filter is typically used. The dehumidifier primarily reduces air humidity to a very low range, typically below 50%, preferably below 40%. The temperature and humidity probe is mainly used to monitor air temperature and humidity, while simultaneously controlling the dehumidification power of the dehumidifier. If the humidity is high, the dehumidification power is automatically adjusted to the maximum; if the humidity is low, the dehumidification power is automatically reduced. Dry and clean air improves the drying efficiency of the volumetric flask and shortens the drying time.
[0037] Furthermore, an operating section 3 is provided on one side of the housing 2. The operating section 3 has a sealing cover 31 that can be opened to operate the locking part 25, an operating cavity 32 connecting the inside of the housing 2, and an exhaust pipe 4 located outside the housing 2 connecting the air outlet control device 1 and the operating cavity 32 to achieve internal circulation. The locking part 25 and the opening 24 are located inside the operating cavity 32. The internal air circulation ensures that the overall air is clean and unpolluted, reduces the load on the blower and filter, and also improves the efficiency of the drying process.
[0038] Furthermore, a flow-guiding slope 5 is provided at the bottom of the box body 2, and a drain outlet 51 is provided at the lower end of the flow-guiding slope 5. A water tank 6 is provided below the drain outlet 51, and the water tank 6 is detachably installed inside the box body 2. A three-dimensional structural view of the water tank 6 is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, residual water droplets in the volumetric flask fall to the bottom of the housing 2 and flow from the drain outlet 51 into the water tank 6. Once the water tank 6 is full, it can be removed to empty the liquid. This method is convenient, quick, and reduces contamination.
[0039] Furthermore, the top panel 21 is provided with a handle 211, and hydraulic devices 27 are provided at both ends of the side of the top panel 21 that is hinged to the housing 2. The hydraulic devices 27 are used for opening and fixing the top panel 21. The structure is simple, easy to use, and allows for easy removal and addition of volumetric flasks at any time.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the locking part 25 includes a guide rod 251 parallel to the opening 24, a locking block 252 for connecting the guide rod 251 and the air outlet 231, and a locking screw 253 on the locking block 252. The guide rod 251 and the locking screw 253 cooperate to lock the diverter pipe 235. When the air outlet 231 is moved up and down, the locking block 252 can be moved on the guide rod 251 to the required height, and then the locking screw 253 can be tightened to fix the air outlet 231. The structure is simple, and the guide rod and the locking screw 253 make the diverter pipe more stable.
[0041] Furthermore, the housing 2 is made of a transparent material. The transparent housing allows the user to observe the dryness of the volumetric flask at any time and makes it easy to handle.
[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0043] After the volumetric flasks have been used and cleaned in the laboratory, open the top panel, place the flasks upside down on the rack's placement section, aligning them with the air outlet. Close the top panel and operate the air outlet control device to begin drying the flasks. During the drying process, dried flasks can be removed at any time, and newly washed flasks requiring drying can be added as needed. The drying speed is fast and the cycle is short, eliminating the need for the laboratory to purchase more volumetric flasks, thus saving on purchase costs, storage space, and volumetric flask testing costs.
[0044] 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.
