Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is applicable to the field of laboratory glassware cleaning and provides a digestion tube rinsing module. Background Technology

[0002] Digestion tubes are widely used experimental devices in chemical analysis, environmental monitoring, and laboratory research. They are primarily used to digest samples and provide the high-temperature and pressure environment required for sample processing. Digestion tubes are typically made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials, such as borosilicate glass or high-temperature resistant plastics, and possess strong acid and alkali resistance. Digestion tubes play a crucial role in sample processing, effectively decomposing organic matter or minerals in samples, thereby providing accurate basic data for subsequent analytical testing.

[0003] Currently, cleaning digestion tubes mainly relies on manual operation, typically using water rinsing. Researchers remove residual samples and chemicals by directly rinsing the inner walls of the digestion tubes with water or by spraying water into the tubes using a flexible hose.

[0004] However, manual cleaning of digestion tubes has significant inconveniences and limitations. A typical laboratory apparatus requires more than a dozen digestion tubes, each of which needs to be cleaned after use. Since the cleaning process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, manual rinsing is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also the cleaning effect is difficult to guarantee, easily resulting in incomplete cleaning. Furthermore, improper operation during manual cleaning may damage or contaminate the digestion tubes, further affecting the accuracy of the experiment and the lifespan of the equipment. Therefore, existing digestion tube cleaning methods are too cumbersome, and there is an urgent need for a more efficient, convenient cleaning solution that can guarantee cleaning quality.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0028] See Figure 1-6The purpose of this utility model is to provide a digestion tube rinsing module, including a base 01, with a housing 1 fixedly connected to the top of the base 01 via a support 02. The top of the housing 1 is open, and a water inlet 13 and a water spray inlet 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. Specifically, the water spray inlet 12 is located at the center of the bottom of the housing 1, and a nozzle 121 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 through the water spray inlet 12. A water inlet 11 is provided on the side of the housing 1. Both the water inlet 11 and the water spray inlet 12 are connected to an external water supply device via pipes, and the water inlet 13 is connected to an external water pumping device via a pipe.

[0029] A mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 01 via a fixing bracket 101. A power unit and a transmission assembly are mounted on the mounting plate 5. The power unit provides power to the transmission assembly, causing the output end of the transmission assembly to rotate. The output end of the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to a digestion bottle mounting base 7. Specifically, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is a cylindrical tube open at one end, allowing the digestion tube to be inserted into the digestion bottle mounting base 7 through its opening. The side of the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission assembly. In other words, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 can be rotated under the drive of the power unit. The digestion bottle mounting base 7 is located inside the housing 1. Specifically, the side of the housing 1 has a slot 10, through which the output end of the transmission assembly passes and is fixedly connected to the digestion bottle mounting base 7.

[0030] When the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is in a vertical position, the opening of the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is set to correspond to the position of the nozzle 121.

[0031] In summary, the configuration of this device with external equipment is as follows: its operation is controlled by an external controller, which is the device's microcontroller, and the microcontroller performs automatic control of the device. The water pumping port 13, the water spraying port 12, and the water injection port 11 are connected to external water pumps and switching valves via hoses, thereby realizing the functions of injecting water, spraying water, and pumping water into the housing 1.

[0032] Preferably, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is provided with an elastic retaining strip inside, which can tightly lock the digestion bottle (tube) inside the digestion bottle mounting base 7. When the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is reversed, it ensures that the digestion tube will not fall down, and when the operator uses a certain force to pull the digestion bottle outward, the digestion bottle can be easily removed.

[0033] In actual use, the operator inserts the digestion bottle into the digestion bottle mounting base 7. The transmission assembly then rotates the mounting base 7 so that its opening faces downwards, aligning with the nozzle 121. The nozzle sprays pressurized water upwards to rinse the bottom of the bottle, which then flows down the pipe wall into the housing 1. During this process, water is drawn away from the drain port 13. The rinsing process is complete after a period of time. The water inlet 11 is used to pre-fill the housing 1 with a certain amount of water to prevent water from splashing out from the bottom of the housing 1 when the nozzle 121 sprays water, thus preventing contamination of the equipment. After rinsing, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is reversed, and the operator can remove the digestion bottle. After a short while, the remaining water in the housing 1 is drawn away, completing the entire rinsing process.

[0034] Preferably, a pipe rack 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 01. The pipe rack 2 is provided with several pipe connectors 21 and several female plugs 22. The pipe connectors 21 are used to connect water pipes and hoses. As intermediate joints, they can optimize pipeline layout and make the device easier to maintain. The female plugs are intermediate connection plugs for electrical equipment, making the wiring of the device more reasonable.

[0035] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a transmission motor 60 and a shaft seat fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5; the transmission motor 60 serves as a power device, providing power. A first transmission wheel 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission motor 60, and a second transmission wheel 62 is rotatably connected to the shaft seat. A transmission belt 63 is fitted between the first transmission wheel 61 and the second transmission wheel 62. The first transmission wheel 61 drives the transmission belt 63, thereby driving the second transmission wheel 62 to rotate. One end of the second transmission wheel 62 is fixedly connected to the digestion bottle mounting base 7 via a connecting part 64. Thus, under the drive of the transmission motor 60, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 can rotate.

[0036] Preferably, the top of the nozzle 121 is provided with a plurality of nozzles. The plurality of nozzles can eject multiple streams of water to flush the inside of the digestion bottle, making the rinsing more thorough.

[0037] In summary, during actual use, the operator first inserts the digestion bottle into the digestion bottle mounting base 7. At this time, the elastic retaining strip inside the digestion bottle mounting base 7 will tightly engage the digestion bottle. Subsequently, the transmission assembly operates under the drive of the transmission motor 60. The output end of the transmission motor 60 drives the first transmission wheel 61 to rotate. The first transmission wheel 61 drives the second transmission wheel 62 to rotate via the transmission belt 63. One end of the second transmission wheel 62 is fixedly connected to the digestion bottle mounting base 7 via the connecting part 64, thereby causing the digestion bottle mounting base 7 to flip so that its opening faces downward and aligns with the nozzle 121.

[0038] When the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is in a vertical position and its opening corresponds to the nozzle 121, the water injection port 11 pre-fills the housing 1 with a certain amount of water to prevent water from splashing out from the bottom of the housing 1 when the nozzle 121 sprays water. Then, several nozzles at the top of the nozzle 121 eject multiple pressurized water streams, which flush the inside of the digestion bottle upwards and then fall down the pipe wall into the housing 1. At this time, the external water pumping device connected to the water extraction port 13 promptly removes the water from the housing 1 through a flexible hose. After a period of time, the rinsing process of the digestion bottle is completed.

[0039] After rinsing, the transmission component drives the digestion bottle mounting base 7 to reverse to the initial position, and the staff can easily take out the digestion bottle. At this time, the remaining water in the shell 1 will also be pumped away by the pumping device connected to the water pumping port 13, and the entire rinsing process is over.

[0040] Therefore, under the automatic control of an external controller, the device uniformly regulates the water pumps and valves connected to the water pumping port 13, spraying port 12, and water injection port 11, achieving coordinated operation of functions such as water injection, spraying, and pumping into the housing 1. This reduces the intensity of manual operation and improves the efficiency and quality of digestion tube flushing.

[0041] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
