[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water baths, specifically a water bath support that facilitates container handling. Background Technology

[0002] A water bath is an essential tool in the laboratory for heating objects in a water bath. The object to be heated is usually placed in a container such as a beaker or Erlenmeyer flask. Then, using clamps, these containers are inserted into the water bath through the placement holes on the water bath. After heating, the containers are removed using clamps. Since the containers are in direct contact with the hot water in the water bath, a certain amount of hot water will be brought out when the containers are removed, which can easily dirty the laboratory bench. At this time, it is necessary to use clamps to hold the containers at the placement holes for a period of time to drain the hot water, or to wipe the hot water adhering to the bottom of the containers with a cloth. This makes it inconvenient to use the containers, and when the water bath temperature is high, it is easy to cause burns to the operator during the waiting time or wiping, affecting the safety and convenience of handling the containers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water bath holder that facilitates the handling of containers. It solves the technical problem that hot water is easily carried out when the container is taken out, which affects the safety and convenience of handling. The holder lifts the container to be handled to the placement hole for automatic drainage, eliminating the need for direct contact between personnel and the container, and greatly improving the safety and convenience of handling the container.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A water bath holder for easy container handling includes a support rod disposed inside the bath body, a water bath tank on the bath body, a cover plate on the top of the water bath tank, the support rod passing through the cover plate and extending toward the interior of the water bath tank, the cover plate having multiple placement holes, multiple drain racks slidably connected vertically below the placement holes inside the water bath tank, the support rod being able to slide up and down and rotate relative to the cover plate, connecting blocks on the sides of the drain racks, connecting grooves at the bottom of the support rod for use with the connecting blocks, and a retaining plate on the cover plate for use with the support rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the side of the support rod is provided with an annular groove, and the retaining plate is used in conjunction with the annular groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the card plate and the cover plate are slidably connected, the cover plate is provided with a fixing seat, and a return spring is provided between the card plate and the fixing seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the card plate is provided with a lever, the fixed base is provided with a guide post, the guide post passes through the lever and is slidably connected to it, and the reset spring is disposed between the lever and the fixed base.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the card plate is arc-shaped to conform to the sidewall of the annular groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the water bath is provided with multiple sliding rods located below the placement hole, and the sliding rods pass through the drain rack and are slidably connected to it.

[0011] Furthermore, both the connecting block and the connecting groove are mating annular rings.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model features a water bath on the pot body, with a cover plate at the top. A support rod passes through the cover plate and extends downwards into the interior of the water bath. The cover plate has multiple placement holes for placing and removing containers. Multiple drain racks are vertically slidably connected below the placement holes inside the water bath. Connecting blocks are provided on the sides of the drain racks. The bottom of the support rod has a connecting groove for use with the connecting blocks. The cover plate has a retaining plate for use with the support rod. This structure allows for the removal of containers from the placement holes by moving the connecting groove at the bottom of the support rod to the corresponding drain rack below the placement hole, thus allowing the connecting groove to... Connect the corresponding connecting block on the drain rack, then pull the support rod upwards to make the drain rack under the container slide upwards. During this process, the drain rack contacts the bottom of the container and pushes the container upwards until the container is removed from the hot water in the water bath. Then, use the clamp on the cover to fix the support rod, so that the drain rack supports the container for automatic draining. After the hot water at the bottom of the container has drained, use the clamp to remove the container. There is no need to hold the container to drain it, and the operator will not directly contact the container before the hot water has drained, making the use of the container more convenient and safer.

[0014] 2. The support rod can slide up and down and rotate relative to the cover plate. When the connecting groove is engaged with the connecting block on the corresponding position of the drain rack, it is only necessary to rotate the support rod to drive the connecting groove at the bottom of the support rod to approach the corresponding position of the connecting block and connect with it. After that, when the support rod slides upward, it can drive the drain rack at the corresponding position to slide upward. One support rod can meet the individual lifting operation of the drain rack at different positions, simplifying the complexity of the device and improving the convenience of using the device.

[0022] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model describes a water bath holder for easy container handling. The main structure includes a support rod 2 housed inside a pot body 1, which is the main part for water bath heating. A water bath tank 3 is provided on the pot body 1, and an electric heating element is installed inside the water bath tank 3. When the electric heating element is energized, it heats the water in the water bath tank 3. A cover plate 4 is provided on the top of the water bath tank 3 to cover the top of the water bath tank 3, preventing heat loss and improving the safety of the water bath. The support rod 2 passes through the cover plate 4 and extends into the water bath tank 3. This structure allows the support rod 2 to extend into the interior of the water bath tank 3. The cover plate 4 has multiple through-holes 5. Containers to be heated are placed into the water bath after passing through the through-holes 5. The device also features multi-layered rings for use with containers of different sizes. Multiple drain racks 6 are vertically slidably connected within the water bath 3, below the placement hole 5. These drain racks 6 are typically welded from multiple metal rods, forming drainage holes between them. This allows hot water carried by the container to drain through these holes, effectively draining the container. The support rod 2 can slide and rotate relative to the cover plate 4. Specifically, a guide sleeve is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 4, through which the support rod 2 passes, improving its stability and preventing tilting. Connecting blocks 7 are fixed to the sides of the drain rack 6 by welding or bolts. The bottom of the support rod 2 is... A connecting groove 8 is provided for use with the connecting block 7. Preferably, a fixing block is provided at the bottom of the support rod 2, and the connecting groove 8 is provided laterally on the side of the fixing block. An indicator block corresponding to the position of the connecting block 7 is provided at the top of the support rod 2, so as to facilitate the determination of the position of the connecting block 7 at the bottom of the support rod 2 by the position of the indicator block. With this structure, when the support rod 2 slides down to the same height as the connecting groove 8 and the connecting block 7, the support rod 2 is rotated so that the connecting groove 8 on the fixing block at the bottom of the support rod 2 can rotate and engage with the outside of the connecting block 7, thereby fixing the connecting groove 8 and the connecting block 7 in the vertical direction. After that, sliding the support rod 2 upward will drive the corresponding drain rack 6 to move upward with the cooperation of the connecting groove 8 and the connecting block 7. When the drain rack 6 contacts the bottom of the container at the placement hole 5... When the container is removed from the hot water in the water bath 3, it can be pushed upwards until the bottom of the container separates from the hot water in the water bath 3. At this point, the container can be placed on the drain rack 6 for automatic draining. This structure allows one support rod 2 to be used with drain racks 6 at different positions, enabling lifting operations on drain racks 6 at different positions. This greatly simplifies the complexity of the device and improves its ease of use. The cover plate 4 is equipped with a locking plate 9 that works with the support rod 2. After the container is removed from the hot water in the water bath 3, the locking plate 9 fixes the position of the support rod 2, thereby keeping the drain rack 6 in the designated position and achieving automatic support for the container. This allows the container to drain automatically without manual handling or wiping before draining.After draining, use tongs to remove the container directly, making it more convenient and safer to use.

[0024] Preferred, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the support rod 2 is provided with an annular groove 10, which is recessed inward from the side of the support rod 2. The locking plate 9 is used in conjunction with the annular groove 10. The setting of the annular groove 10 allows the annular groove 10 to rotate around the center line when the support rod 2 rotates. This structure allows the locking plate 9 to enter the annular groove 10 and engage with it no matter which direction the support rod 2 rotates, thereby restricting and fixing the vertical position of the support rod 2 and improving the convenience and stability of the locking plate 9 and the support rod 2 in limiting the engagement.

[0025] Preferably, the clamping plate 9 is slidably connected to the cover plate 4 in the transverse direction. Specifically, guide rails are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate 4, and the clamping plate 9 is slidably connected to the guide rails on both sides. A fixing seat 11 is fixed to the cover plate 4 by welding or bolts. A return spring 12 is provided between the clamping plate 9 and the fixing seat 11. With this structure, when the support rod 2 is moved up and down, the clamping plate 9 slides to one side, so that the clamping plate 9 is disengaged from the support rod 2, and the return spring 12 is compressed. When the support rod 2 moves upward to the designated position, the annular groove 10 and the clamping plate 9 are at the same height. At this time, the clamping plate 9 is released, and under the action of the reverse elastic force of the return spring 12, the clamping plate 9 automatically slides into the annular groove 10 in the transverse direction, thereby fixing the position of the support rod 2 in the vertical direction. Under the action of the return spring 12, the clamping plate 9 is kept in the clamping state with the annular groove 10, which greatly improves the convenience and stability of limiting and fixing the support rod 2.

[0026] Preferably, a lever 13 is fixed to the card plate 9 by welding or bolting. The lever 13 is arranged parallel to the fixed seat 11, which facilitates the lateral sliding of the card plate 9 by pushing the lever 13. A lateral guide post 14 is fixed to the fixed seat 11 by welding or bolting. The guide post 14 passes through the lever 13 and is slidably connected to it. The return spring 12 is arranged between the lever 13 and the fixed seat 11. This structure allows the lever 13 to slide laterally along the guide post 14 when it drives the card plate 9 to slide laterally. This makes the lateral sliding of the lever 13 and the card plate 9 more stable and accurate, allowing the card plate 9 to accurately engage into the annular groove 10. When the lever 13 is moved, the return spring 12 between the lever 13 and the fixed seat 11 can be accurately compressed, so that the lever 13 and the card plate 9 can accurately perform reverse return sliding under the action of the reverse elastic force, improving the accuracy of the engagement between the card plate 9 and the annular groove 10.

[0027] Preferably, the end of the clamping plate 9 is an arc shape that adapts to the side wall of the annular groove 10. When the clamping plate 9 is engaged into the interior of the annular groove 10, the arc shape at the end can fit more tightly with the arc-shaped side of the annular groove 10, thereby making the engagement between the clamping plate 9 and the annular groove 10 more stable and further improving the vertical fixation of the support rod 2.

[0028] Preferred, refer to Figure 5 Multiple sliding rods 15 are fixed to the water bath 3 below the placement hole 5 by welding or bolts. The sliding rods 15 pass through the drain rack 6 and are slidably connected to it. The multiple sliding rods 15 can guide the vertical sliding of the drain rack 6, improve the stability of the vertical sliding structure of the drain rack 6, and at the same time, the multiple sliding rods 15 can also form a protective structure on the side of the drain rack 6. When the drain rack 6 comes into contact with the container, the protective structure composed of multiple sliding rods 15 on the side can prevent the container from tipping over and ensure the stability of the container support.

[0029] Preferably, the connecting block 7 and the connecting groove 8 are both fan-shaped rings used in conjunction. With this structure, when the support rod 2 rotates, the connecting groove 8 can rotate around the center line of the support rod 2, so that the fan-shaped ring connecting groove 8 can be connected with the fan-shaped ring connecting blocks 7 at various positions around the periphery. The connecting block 7 will not interfere with the rotation of the connecting groove 8, so that the connection between the two is smoother and more stable.

[0030] Working Principle: This invention features a water bath 3 on the pot body 1, with a cover plate 4 at the top. A support rod 2 passes through the cover plate 4 and extends downwards into the water bath 3. The cover plate 4 has multiple placement holes 5 for placing and removing containers. Multiple drain racks 6 are vertically slidably connected below the placement holes 5 inside the water bath 3. Connecting blocks 7 are located on the sides of the drain racks 6. The bottom of the support rod 2 has connecting grooves 8 that engage with the connecting blocks 7. The cover plate 4 has a retaining plate 9 that engages with the support rod 2. When removing a container from the placement hole 5, the connecting groove 8 at the bottom of the support rod 2 is moved to the corresponding drain rack 6 below the placement hole 5, allowing the connecting groove 8 to connect with the connecting block 7 on the corresponding drain rack 6. At this time, pulling the support rod 2 upwards causes the drain rack 6 below the container to slide upwards. During this process, the drain rack 6 contacts the bottom of the container and pushes the container upwards until the container is fully drained. After the container is removed from the hot water in the water bath 3, the support rod 2 is fixed by the clamping plate 9 on the cover plate 4, so that the draining rack 6 supports the container for automatic draining. After the hot water at the bottom of the container has drained, the container can be taken out with clamps. There is no need to hold the container to drain it, and the operator will not directly contact the container before the hot water drains, making the container easier and safer to take out. The support rod 2 can slide up and down and rotate relative to the cover plate 4. When the connecting groove 8 is engaged with the connecting block 7 on the corresponding position of the draining rack 6, it is only necessary to rotate the support rod 2 to drive the connecting groove 8 at the bottom of the support rod 2 to approach the corresponding position of the connecting block 7 and connect with it. After that, when the support rod 2 slides upward, it can drive the draining rack 6 at the corresponding position to slide upward. One support rod 2 can meet the individual lifting operation of the draining rack 6 at different positions, simplifying the complexity of the device and improving the convenience of use.
