Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chromatograph protection technology, specifically relating to a chromatograph button protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Chromatographs are precision analytical instruments used in laboratories. Their operating buttons (such as power switches, parameter adjustment keys, run / stop keys, etc.) need to be frequently touched. During the experiment, operators are prone to accidentally touching the buttons, which may affect or interrupt the experiment.
[0003] Most existing chromatographs lack protective structures, allowing chemical reagents, moisture, dust, and other substances in the laboratory environment to seep into the button gaps, affecting button sensitivity or causing circuit damage. In addition, operators may accidentally press buttons due to negligence, leading to data loss, program interruption, or instrument malfunction, thus affecting the button's usability.
[0004] Therefore, a protective structure for the chromatograph button was designed to overcome the aforementioned technical defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] (1) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective structure for the buttons of a chromatograph. This protective structure aims to solve the technical problem that chemical reagents, water vapor, dust and other substances in the laboratory environment may seep into the button gaps, affecting the button sensitivity or causing circuit damage.
[0007] (2) Technical solution
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a chromatograph button protection structure, including a chromatograph body and a mounting plate. The front side of the chromatograph body is provided with a button area. The mounting plate has a U-shaped structure. A movable plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate. A folding accordion curtain is fixedly connected between the movable plate and the inner side wall of the mounting plate. When the folding accordion curtain is open, it is used to protect the button area. A cleaning component is also provided on the side wall of the movable plate. Double-sided adhesive is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the mounting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, sliders are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sidewalls of the movable plate, and a U-shaped sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting plate, with the sliders slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0010] Furthermore, two magnetic sheets are fixedly connected to the right side wall of the slider and the side wall of the slide groove, and the magnetic sheets on both sides are attracted to each other magnetically.
[0011] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes two sponge strips fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the movable plate. The sponge strips abut against the button area. The movable plate has a hollow structure, and cotton thread is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable plate. One end of the cotton thread passes through the movable plate and is connected to the sponge strip.
[0012] Furthermore, a water inlet hole is provided on the side wall of the movable plate near the top surface, and a sealing plug is provided inside the water inlet hole.
[0013] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate.
[0014] (3) Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention, through the design of a mounting plate, a movable plate, a folding accordion curtain, and a cleaning component, can enclose and protect the button area when the chromatograph is not in use or during experiments. This prevents dust or reagents from adhering to the buttons during experiments and also prevents exposed buttons from being accidentally pressed by operators, thus avoiding disruption to the experiment. The folding accordion curtain effectively provides protection. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This specific embodiment is a chromatograph button protection structure, the schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-7 As shown, the system includes a chromatograph body 1 and a mounting plate 3. The chromatograph body 1 is based on existing mature technology and is not the focus of this solution; therefore, it will not be described in detail here. A button area 2 is located on the front side of the chromatograph body 1. The mounting plate 3 has a U-shaped structure, with a movable plate 5 slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 3. A folding pleated curtain 6 is fixedly connected between the movable plate 5 and the inner wall of the mounting plate 3. When the folding pleated curtain 6 is open, it protects the button area 2. A cleaning assembly is also provided on the side wall of the movable plate 5. Double-sided adhesive tape 13 is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the mounting plate 3. Besides using double-sided adhesive tape 13, other connection methods such as bolts or clips can also be used. This solution preferably uses double-sided adhesive tape 13 because it is convenient to operate and can be installed on various models of chromatograph bodies 1.
[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, sliders 7 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower side walls of the movable plate 5, and a groove 4 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting plate 3. The groove 4 is U-shaped, and the sliders 7 are slidably connected to the groove 4.
[0027] Two magnetic pieces 8 are fixedly connected to the right side wall of slider 7 and the side wall of slide groove 4, respectively, and the magnetic pieces 8 on both sides attract each other. By setting slider 7 and slide groove 4, the movable plate 5 can be limited, and the movable plate 5 always remains stable when moving. When the movable plate 5 moves and fully opens the folding accordion curtain 6, slider 7 moves to the extreme position, and at the same time, the magnetic pieces 8 on both sides attract each other to further fix the movable plate 5 and ensure stability during use.
[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning component includes two sponge strips 9 fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the movable plate 5. The sponge strips 9 abut against the button area 2. The movable plate 5 is a hollow structure. A cotton thread 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 5. One end of the cotton thread 10 passes through the movable plate 5 and is connected to the sponge strips 9.
[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the movable plate 5 near the top surface, and a sealing plug 11 is provided inside the water inlet.
[0030] To further enhance the cleaning effect on button area 2, the sealing plug 11 can be removed, and alcohol or water can be injected into the inner cavity of the movable plate 5. The liquid can be transferred to the sponge strip 9 using the cotton thread 10, keeping the sponge strip 9 moist, which will help to enhance the cleaning effect on button area 2.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a handle 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate 5. The handle 12 increases the force-bearing points of the movable plate 5, making it more convenient to pull out or push in.
[0032] Working principle: First, fix the mounting plate 3 to the button area 2 of the chromatograph body 1 with double-sided tape 13. After the operation of the chromatograph body 1 is completed, pull the handle 12 to move the movable plate 5. The movable plate 5 moves the folding accordion curtain 6 from the folded state to the open state to block the button and prevent accidental touch during the experiment.
[0033] At the same time, the moving plate 5 moves the sponge strip 9 synchronously. The sponge strip 9 is used to wipe and clean the dust and impurities in the button area 2 to prevent dust or reagents from adhering to the buttons and affecting subsequent use.
[0034] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0035] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
