Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a storage bracket for electrodes of a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument. Background Technology

[0002] The fermentation process of dairy products is closely related to the quality of the final product. Factors affecting the fermentation process, such as temperature changes, directly impact the fermentation results, while parameters of fermented dairy products, such as pH value, play a crucial role in determining the fermentation outcome. Dairy fermentation monitoring instruments measure the pH value and temperature of each reactor unit using electrodes, monitoring and recording the fermentation process in real time. To better understand the fermentation process, it is necessary to use dairy fermentation monitoring instruments for detection, thereby enabling more accurate judgment of the fermentation results.

[0003] Meanwhile, for a large number of samples, a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitor is needed to reduce operation time. Currently, the main multi-channel dairy fermentation monitors have 16 channels and multiple electrode heads are connected by wires, which can monitor the fermentation of multiple samples simultaneously. However, when not measuring samples, the lower ends of the electrodes of the multi-channel dairy fermentation monitor need to be completely immersed in electrode protection solution to avoid damage to the electrode heads. In addition, when using the multi-channel dairy fermentation monitor, when the number of samples is small, it is necessary to store the electrodes that are not in use for a long time and temporarily store the electrodes that are in use. The existing pH electrode holders can only store a limited number of electrodes and cannot effectively meet the needs of temporarily storing some electrodes and storing others for a long time. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to propose a storage bracket for electrodes in a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument, thereby solving the problem that current electrode brackets can only store a limited number of electrodes and cannot meet the needs of temporary storage of multiple electrodes or long-term storage of some electrodes.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A storage bracket for electrodes of a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument includes a base, a support rod, and a storage seat;

[0007] The storage base is provided with multiple open storage slots and multiple closed storage holes. The multiple open storage slots and multiple closed storage holes are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the storage base, and the multiple open storage slots and multiple closed storage holes are parallel to each other.

[0008] The opening of the open storage slot faces the side of the storage base, and a first support block is provided at the lower part of the wall of the open storage slot; a plurality of closed storage holes penetrate the storage base in a vertical direction, and a second support block is provided at the lower part of the closed storage holes; the first support block and the second support block are used to support the electrode caps of the electrodes.

[0009] The storage base is horizontally mounted above the base via the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, the inner edge of the first support block is U-shaped, and the outer edge of the first support block is a 3 / 4 circle.

[0011] Preferably, from a top-down view, the outer side of the second support block coincides with the closed storage hole, and the outer and inner sides of the second support block are concentric circles.

[0012] Preferably, the storage base has a plurality of mounting holes in the middle, the plurality of mounting holes are arranged side by side along the length of the storage base, the plurality of mounting holes are located between the plurality of open storage slots and the plurality of closed storage holes, and fasteners connect the storage base to the support rod through the mounting holes;

[0013] The base has a mounting through hole at the position corresponding to the mounting hole, and the fastener connects the support rod to the base through the mounting through hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the fastener is a fastening screw, and the two ends of the support rod are provided with threaded holes that match the fastening screw.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting hole is a countersunk hole.

[0016] Preferably, each of the four corners of the bottom of the base is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad, and after installation, the base forms an anti-slip support contact with the plane supporting the storage bracket through the anti-slip rubber pad.

[0017] Preferably, the number of open storage slots is eight, and the number of closed storage holes is eight.

[0018] Preferably, there are three mounting holes, mounting through holes, and support rods. The upper and lower ends of the support rods are respectively mounted to the mounting holes and the mounting through holes by the fasteners. The mounting holes are located in the middle of the storage base and are equidistant along the length of the storage base. The mounting through holes correspond to the mounting holes. The three support rods are vertical and parallel to each other.

[0019] Preferably, the base has inclined surfaces that curve downwards in an arc along its length on both sides.

[0020] The technical solution provided by this utility model can include the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The storage bracket has multiple open storage slots and multiple closed storage holes. The openings of the open storage slots face the side of the storage base, making it easy to place the electrodes horizontally or remove them from the open storage slots. This helps with the temporary placement of the electrodes during the testing process. The electrodes are inserted into the closed storage holes from top to bottom, which can better fix the electrodes and is suitable for long-term placement.

[0029] A storage bracket for electrodes of a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument includes a base 1, a support rod 2, and a storage seat 3.

[0030] The storage base 3 is provided with multiple open storage slots 31 and multiple closed storage holes 32. The multiple open storage slots 31 and multiple closed storage holes 32 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the storage base 3, and the multiple open storage slots 31 and multiple closed storage holes 32 are parallel to each other.

[0031] The opening of the open storage slot 31 faces the side of the storage base 3, and a first support block 311 is provided at the lower part of the slot wall of the open storage slot 31; a plurality of closed storage holes 32 penetrate the storage base 3 in a vertical direction, and a second support block 321 is provided at the lower part of the closed storage holes 32. The first support block 311 and the second support block 321 are used to support the electrode cap of the electrode.

[0032] The storage base 3 is horizontally mounted above the base 1 via the support rod 2.

[0033] To monitor and record the fermentation process of multiple dairy product samples in real time, a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitor is required. This monitor has multiple electrodes capable of simultaneously monitoring the fermentation of multiple samples. However, when only some electrodes are needed and the remaining electrodes require long-term storage, existing electrode holders typically only have a single fixing hole, and the number of holes for fixing electrodes is limited. This cannot meet the needs of temporarily storing some electrodes while storing others for extended periods. To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention proposes a storage holder for electrodes in a multi-channel dairy fermentation monitor, featuring multiple open storage slots 31 and multiple... A closed storage hole 32 is used for electrodes that need to be stored for a long time. During use, electrodes are placed on the storage base 3 by passing through the closed storage hole 32 vertically from top to bottom. The closed storage hole 32 reduces the possibility of electrodes falling due to the wobbling of the electrode support, providing more stable fixation and meeting the needs of long-term storage. For electrodes that need temporary storage, which require frequent removal and placement, and to minimize the possibility of the lower end of the electrode colliding with the electrode support, the open storage slot 31 allows for horizontal placement or removal of the electrodes, enabling faster placement and meeting the needs of temporary storage. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the wall of the open storage slot 31 is provided with a first support block 311, and the lower part of the closed storage hole 32 is provided with a second support block 321. The first support block 311 and the second support block 321 are used to place the electrode caps of the electrodes, which can adapt to the different storage needs of multiple electrodes. At the same time, when the storage bracket stores the electrodes, the storage seat 3 is horizontally installed above the base 1 through the support rod 2, ensuring that the electrodes placed on the storage bracket are in a vertical state, and ensuring that the lower end of the electrodes can always be completely immersed in the electrode protective liquid, thus solving the problem that the current electrode bracket cannot meet the needs of partially storing multiple electrodes and partially storing them for a long time.

[0034] Meanwhile, the multiple open storage slots 31 and the multiple closed storage holes 32 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the storage base 3, and the multiple open storage slots 31 and the multiple closed storage holes 32 are parallel to each other, corresponding to the port arrangement of the multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument, so as to avoid tangling and mess caused by too many electrode cables.

[0035] In the multi-channel dairy fermentation monitoring instrument, the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode cap is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the open storage groove 31 and the closed storage hole 32 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode cap. The cross-sectional area formed by the inner sides of the first support block 311 and the second support block 321 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode cap but larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode.

[0036] Preferably, the inner edge of the first support block 311 is U-shaped, and the outer edge of the first support block 311 is a 3 / 4 circle.

[0037] Specifically, the inner edge of the first support block 311 is U-shaped. When temporarily storing and using electrodes, the U-shaped inner side of the first support block 311 can provide a channel for the electrodes to move and be placed. The outer edge of the first support block 311 is 3 / 4 circle. When in use, the electrodes are first moved horizontally to contact the inner side of the first support block 311, and then the electrode caps are placed on the first support block 311 from top to bottom. The cross-sectional shape of the open storage slot 31 is 3 / 4 circle, which effectively prevents the electrodes placed on the first support block 311 from slipping off.

[0038] Preferably, from a top-down view, the outer side of the second support block 321 coincides with the closed storage hole 32, and the outer and inner sides of the second support block 321 are concentric circles.

[0039] Specifically, for electrodes that need to be stored for a long time, it is necessary to ensure that the electrodes are not easily detached from the storage base 3. When placing the electrodes, insert them into the closed storage hole 32 from top to bottom. The electrodes pass through the inner side of the second support block 321, and the electrode cap located at the upper end of the electrodes is placed on the second support block 321. At the same time, from a top view, the outer and inner sides of the second support block 321 are concentric circles, and the outer side of the second support block 321 coincides with the closed storage hole 32, ensuring that the electrodes can be stably placed in the closed storage hole 32. When the storage bracket moves, the electrodes shake, and the hole wall of the closed storage hole 32 limits the shaking amplitude of the electrodes, providing symmetrical constraints, ensuring the stability of the electrodes stored for a long time, and keeping the electrodes in a vertical state.

[0040] Preferably, the storage base 3 has a plurality of mounting holes 33 in the middle, the plurality of mounting holes 33 are arranged side by side along the length of the storage base 3, the plurality of mounting holes 33 are located between the plurality of open storage slots 31 and the plurality of closed storage holes 32, and the fasteners 331 connect the storage base 3 to the support rod 2 through the mounting holes 33;

[0041] The base 1 is provided with a mounting through hole 11 corresponding to the mounting hole 33, and the fastener 331 connects the support rod 2 to the base 1 through the mounting through hole 11.

[0042] Specifically, the support rod 2 fixes the storage base 3 above the base 1 through the mounting hole 33 and the mounting through hole 11. Several mounting holes 33 are located between several open storage slots 31 and several closed storage holes 32, and are located in the middle of the storage base 3, so that the force on the support rod 2 is more even, ensuring the horizontality of the storage base 3, thereby ensuring the vertical state of the electrode fixed on the storage base 3, and ensuring that the lower end of the electrode is completely immersed in the electrode protective liquid.

[0043] Furthermore, the fastener 331 is a fastening screw, and the two ends of the support rod 2 are provided with threaded holes that match the fastening screw.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support rod 2 has threaded holes at both ends. The fastening screw passes through the mounting hole 33 and enters the threaded hole of the support rod 2 to achieve a fit and fixation. Similarly, the fastening screw passes through the mounting through hole 11 and enters the threaded hole at the other end of the support hole to achieve a fit and fixation.

[0045] Furthermore, the mounting hole 33 is a countersunk hole.

[0046] Specifically, the mounting hole 33 is a countersunk hole. The countersunk hole effectively reduces the thickness required for the fastening screw to pass through the mounting hole 33, ensuring that the support rod 2 can be stably connected to the storage base 3 and is not easy to loosen. After installation, the screw face does not exceed the upper surface of the storage base 3, reducing the risk of the electrode scraping against the fastening screw during use, and also reducing the risk of experimental personnel being injured by the fastening screw.

[0047] Preferably, each of the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad 12, and after installation, the base 1 forms an anti-slip support contact with the plane supporting the storage bracket through the anti-slip rubber pad 12.

[0048] Specifically, the anti-slip pad 12 ensures that the base 1 can be placed stably on the bearing surface, increases the friction between the base 1 and the bearing surface, ensures the stability of the entire storage bracket when placed, effectively protects the electrodes, and increases the safety of storage.

[0049] Preferably, the anti-slip pad 12 can be attached to the bottom of the base 1.

[0050] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the anti-slip pad 12 is fixed to the bottom of the base 1 by screws and nuts.

[0051] Preferably, the number of open storage slots 31 is eight, and the number of closed storage holes 32 is eight.

[0052] Specifically, it is compatible with the 16 channels of commonly used multi-channel dairy product monitoring instruments, and the number of open storage slots 31 and closed storage holes 32 is the same, ensuring that different storage requirements of different electrodes can be well met during use. There are eight open storage slots 31, which can simultaneously realize sample monitoring of eight channels of the dairy product fermentation monitoring instrument. During use, when necessary, the closed storage holes 32 can also be used for temporary storage, thereby realizing sample monitoring of sixteen channels of the dairy product fermentation monitoring instrument and improving the detection efficiency of the dairy product fermentation monitoring instrument.

[0053] Preferably, the number of mounting holes 33, mounting through holes 11, and support rods 2 are equal; at least two mounting holes 33, mounting through holes 11, and support rods 2 are provided, which can ensure the stability of the storage base 3, effectively avoid the problem of the storage base 3 shifting due to excessive electrode weight, and ensure stable installation of the electrode.

[0054] Preferably, there are three mounting holes 33, mounting through holes 11, and support rods 2. The upper and lower ends of the support rods 2 are respectively mounted in the mounting holes 33 and the mounting through holes 11 by fasteners 331. The mounting holes 33 are located in the middle of the storage base 3 and are equidistant along the length of the storage base 3. The mounting through holes 11 correspond to the mounting holes 33. The three support rods 2 are vertical and parallel to each other.

[0055] Specifically, there are three mounting holes 33, mounting through holes 11, and support rods 2 to ensure that the support rods 2 are subjected to balanced forces and improve the stability of the support. If any one of the support rods 2 fails, the remaining two support rods 2 can still form a stable support.

[0056] Meanwhile, the support rods 2 are parallel to each other in the middle, so they do not affect the electrodes installed in the open storage slot 31 and the closed storage hole 32, ensuring that the electrodes have suitable space for storage.

[0057] Preferably, the base 1 and support rod 2 are made of stainless steel, and the storage base 3 is made of plastic. Stainless steel has a higher density, and the base 1 is located below the storage base 3, resulting in a lower center of gravity for the storage bracket, increasing its resistance to tipping and ensuring stability. Simultaneously, the plastic storage base 3 provides insulation, ensuring that the electrodes are not easily damaged even if their tips come into contact with the storage base 3 during use.

[0058] Preferably, the base 1 has inclined surfaces that curve downwards in an arc along its length on both sides.

[0059] Specifically, the two sides of the base 1 form an arc-shaped inclined surface, which reduces the risk of injury to the experimenter due to scraping the side of the base 1 during use. At the same time, since the lower end of the electrode needs to be immersed in the electrode protective liquid, the inclined surfaces on both sides of the base 1 help to smoothly move the container holding the electrode protective liquid from the support surface (experiment table) to the base 1, which is compatible with the electrode installed on the storage base 3, effectively reducing the scraping between the container and the base 1.

[0060] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
