Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screen printing electrode technology, specifically a screen printing electrode with an isolation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the most widely used electrochemical electrode is the screen-printed electrode. Through screen printing, the traditional electrochemical three-electrode system is printed onto the same plane, thereby preparing sensing electrodes of various shapes and styles. By modifying the surface of the screen-printed electrode with various functional compounds, the detection and analysis of different analytes can be achieved. In industrial production, the method of modifying existing screen-printed electrodes by drop coating is currently only applicable when the solvent of the electrode modification solution is water. Under the action of water surface tension, the trace amount (usually a few microliters) of modification solution after drop coating can remain stably on the surface of the working electrode without spreading.
[0003] When solution is applied to existing screen-printed electrodes, the solution tends to spread from the working electrode surface, causing the other two electrodes to also be covered with the finishing solution. Furthermore, the solution cannot be effectively isolated based on its quantity, and in severe cases, it may even cause a short circuit within the three electrodes, rendering the electrodes unusable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a screen-printed electrode with an isolation structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing screen-printed electrodes are prone to spreading from the surface of the working electrode during solution drop coating, resulting in the surface of the other two electrodes also being covered with the modification liquid. Furthermore, they cannot effectively isolate the electrodes according to the amount of solution, and in severe cases, they may even cause a short circuit within the three electrodes, rendering the electrodes unusable. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a screen-printed electrode with an isolation structure, comprising a substrate, a working electrode fixedly connected to the front side of the substrate, an isolation plate fixedly connected to one side of the working electrode, a groove formed on the front side of the substrate, the isolation plate fixedly connected to the front side of the substrate through the groove, a limiting groove formed on the top of the isolation plate, a telescopic block movably connected inside the limiting groove, and a protective layer provided on the outside of the isolation plate. By installing the isolation plate, the working electrode can be protected after the solution is dripped onto the surface of the working electrode, preventing the solution from spreading and causing a short circuit inside the three electrodes. At the same time, if too much solution is dripped in, the telescopic block inside can be pulled out through the limiting groove to increase the isolation area, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0005] More preferably, a reference electrode is fixedly connected to one side of the working electrode, and a counter electrode is fixedly connected to one side of the reference electrode. The isolation plate separates the reference electrode and the counter electrode, and an insulating ring is fitted around the outside of the isolation plate. By installing the insulating ring, the contact between the internal wires of the electrical equipment and the external environment can be prevented, thereby achieving the effect of electrical isolation and ensuring the safety of the user.

By installing terminals, a convenient connection method can be provided, enabling the device to be inserted and removed, achieving quick connection and disconnection, thereby improving the ease of operation of the device.
[0007] More preferably, the mounting base has an internally fixedly connected socket, and the socket has an internally fixedly connected limiting spring. A connection port is provided on one side of the mounting base, and a power cord is internally fixedly connected to the connection port. By installing the mounting base, the terminal can be inserted into the socket for use. At the same time, the limiting spring limits and fixes the terminal during insertion to ensure the normal use of the device, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0008] More preferably, the surface of the substrate is provided with an insulating layer, and the surface of the working electrode is provided with a sensitive film. By installing the sensitive film, not only can electron transfer and catalytic activity be further accelerated and the response sensitivity of the electrode to trace elements be improved, but it is also more conducive to the stable preservation of the sensor and reduces individual differences between sensors.
[0009] More preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base, and an indicator is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block. By installing the indicator, the user can be given certain guidance during use, making the operation more convenient and reducing errors.
