[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for analyzing scale buildup in tube samples according to one or more embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] Before describing the various embodiments of this application in detail, the technical concept of this application is first briefly described: Currently, there are problems such as low cleaning efficiency or safety hazards when cleaning samples for testing the amount of scale on tube samples. Therefore, this application provides an apparatus suitable for analyzing the amount of scale on tube samples. The apparatus includes a cleaning tank, a cleaning fluid module, and a rinsing fluid module. Multiple samples can be placed in the cleaning tank, and the cleaning fluid module and rinsing fluid module are used to clean the samples sequentially, enabling batch analysis of multiple samples. Furthermore, the cleaning fluid and rinsing fluid flow in a closed pipeline, ensuring safety during the analysis process. The specific principle of the apparatus for analyzing the amount of scale on tube samples of this application will be described below with reference to more embodiments.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the apparatus for analyzing scale buildup in tubular samples in this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 10, a cleaning fluid module, and a rinsing fluid module. The cleaning tank 10 contains a cleaning rack 20 for holding multiple test samples. The cleaning fluid module includes a cleaning fluid inlet pipe 31 and a cleaning fluid return pipe 32. The cleaning fluid inlet pipe 31 connects to the inlet of the cleaning tank 10, and the cleaning fluid return pipe 32 connects to the outlet of the cleaning tank 10. The rinsing fluid module includes a rinsing fluid inlet pipe 41 and a rinsing fluid return pipe 42. The rinsing fluid inlet pipe 42 connects to the inlet of the cleaning tank 10, and the rinsing fluid return pipe 42 connects to the outlet of the cleaning tank 10. Before cleaning the test samples, the samples are weighed; after cleaning, the samples are weighed again. The scale buildup is calculated based on the weight change of the test samples.

[0021] In one or more embodiments, the cleaning fluid module further includes a cleaning water tank 33, which contains cleaning fluid and is connected to a cleaning fluid inlet pipe 31 and a cleaning fluid return pipe 32. The cleaning fluid inlet pipe 31 is equipped with a cleaning fluid inlet valve 34, and the cleaning fluid return pipe 32 is equipped with a cleaning fluid return valve 35. The connection or disconnection between the cleaning fluid module and the cleaning tank 10 is controlled by opening and closing the cleaning fluid inlet valve 34 and the cleaning fluid return valve 35. The cleaning fluid module and the cleaning tank 10 form a closed-loop circuit, which allows for cyclic cleaning of the sample and avoids exposure of the cleaning fluid, effectively reducing the risk of personnel contact with acid.

[0022] In one or more embodiments, the rinsing solution module further includes a rinsing water tank 43, which contains rinsing solution and is connected to a rinsing solution inlet pipe 41 and a rinsing solution return pipe 42. The rinsing solution inlet pipe 41 is equipped with a rinsing solution inlet valve 44, and the rinsing solution return pipe is equipped with a rinsing solution return valve 45. The connection or disconnection between the rinsing solution module and the cleaning tank 10 is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the rinsing solution inlet valve 44 and the rinsing solution return valve 45. The rinsing solution module and the cleaning tank 10 form a closed-loop circuit, allowing for cyclic rinsing of the sample and significantly reducing acid residue on the sample surface.

[0023] For example, the apparatus further includes a cleaning pump 50, the inlet of which is connected to the cleaning fluid inlet pipe 31 and the rinsing fluid inlet pipe 41, respectively, and the outlet of the cleaning pump 50 is connected to the inlet of the cleaning tank 10. The cleaning pump 50 delivers the cleaning fluid in the cleaning water tank 33 or the rinsing fluid in the rinsing water tank 43 to the cleaning tank 10 to form a dynamic cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 10, which rinses the multiple test samples carried by the cleaning rack 20, effectively improving cleaning efficiency and making the test results more accurate.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, the device further includes a temperature measurement module 61 and an electric heating module 62. The electric heating module 62 is installed inside the cleaning water tank 33, and the temperature measurement module 61 is installed in the cleaning water tank 33. Heating is performed by the electric heating module 62, and real-time monitoring is performed by the temperature measurement module 61 to ensure stable cleaning fluid temperature. The electric heating module 62 is equipped with dual overheat protection, automatically cutting off the power supply when the temperature exceeds the limit.

[0025] For example, the cleaning tank 10 is made of a transparent material, allowing staff to easily observe the cleaning effect on the test samples. The cleaning rack 20 is detachably installed inside the cleaning tank 10. The cleaning rack 20 is a mesh cleaning rack that can hold multiple test samples, enabling batch cleaning and improving measurement efficiency. The cleaning rack 20 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene-coated stainless steel mesh, which is corrosion-resistant and prevents secondary contamination.

[0026] Furthermore, the cleaning water tank 33 is also equipped with a cleaning liquid discharge valve 36, through which wastewater from the cleaning water tank 33 can be discharged. The rinsing water tank 43 is also equipped with a rinsing liquid discharge valve 46, through which wastewater from the rinsing water tank 43 can be discharged.

[0027] The cleaning process for the apparatus suitable for analyzing scale buildup in tube samples is as follows:

[0028] During the pickling stage, the cleaning solution inlet valve 34 and the cleaning solution return valve 35 are opened, and the cleaning pump 50 is started to deliver the cleaning solution to the cleaning tank 10. The reaction process of the test sample is observed in real time through the cleaning tank 10, and the cleaning process lasts for 60 minutes. During the rinsing stage, the cleaning solution inlet valve 34 and the cleaning solution return valve 35 are switched to deliver the rinsing solution to the cleaning tank 10 to rinse the test sample and thoroughly remove any acid residue. During the waste liquid treatment stage, the cleaning solution discharge valve 36 and the rinsing solution discharge valve 46 are opened respectively to discharge the waste liquid into the wastewater collection container.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Although some embodiments have been shown and described, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and improvements can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application as defined by the claims and their equivalents, and such modifications and improvements should also be within the protection scope of this application.
