Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is applicable to the field of laboratory glassware cleaning, and provides a digestion cup inverting and cleaning 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.

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.
[0026] See Figure 1-7The purpose of this utility model is to provide a digestion cup flipping and cleaning module, including a base 01, the top of which is fixedly connected to a housing 1 via a support 02. The top of the housing 1 is open, and the bottom of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a water suction port 13 and a water spray port 12.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Specifically, the water spray interface 12 is located at the center of the bottom of the housing 1, and the spray interface 12 passes through the top of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the nozzle 121. The side of the housing 1 is provided with a water injection interface 11. Both the water injection interface 11 and the water spray interface 12 are connected to an external water supply device through pipes, and the water pumping interface 13 is connected to an external water pumping device through pipes.
[0029] A fixed frame 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 01. A mounting plate 5 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 101. A lifting device that can drive the mounting plate 5 to move up and down is installed on the fixed frame 101.
[0030] 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 with one open end, and the digestion tube can be inserted into the digestion bottle mounting base 7 through the opening. The side of the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission assembly. That is, 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, and the output end of the transmission assembly passes through the slot 10 and is fixedly connected to the digestion bottle mounting base 7.
[0031] 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.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] In actual use, the staff can insert the digestion bottle into the digestion bottle mounting base 7. Then the transmission component drives the digestion bottle mounting base 7 to rotate, so that its opening faces downward and is aligned with the nozzle 121. The nozzle sprays water with a certain pressure upward to rinse the bottom of the bottle, and then falls down along the pipe wall into the housing 1. During this process, the water is drawn away from the water inlet 13. After a period of time, the rinsing process is completed.
[0035] 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 pumped out, completing the entire rinsing process.
[0036] During the rinsing process described above, the lifting device can lower the digestion bottle mounting base 7, causing the digestion bottle to be inverted on top of the nozzle 121, or inverted on the nozzle 121 while moving up and down, so that the water flow dynamically rinses the inside of the digestion bottle, achieving a better rinsing effect.
[0037] Preferably, a vertically arranged slide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 101, and a slider 52 that cooperates with the slide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5, thereby enabling the mounting plate 5 to slide in the vertical direction on the fixing frame 101.
[0038] Preferably, the lifting device includes a first motor 30 and a shaft seat fixedly connected to the fixed frame 101; the first motor 30 serves as a power unit, providing power. A first synchronous pulley 31 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 30, and a second synchronous pulley 32 is rotatably connected to the shaft seat. A synchronous belt 33 is fitted between the first synchronous pulley 31 and the second synchronous pulley 32. The first synchronous pulley 31 can drive the synchronous belt 33 between itself and the second synchronous pulley 32 to move. One end of the synchronous belt 33 is fixedly connected to a locking block, and the other end of the locking block is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5. Thus, the first electrode 30 drives the synchronous belt 33 to move, and under the drive of the synchronous belt 33, the mounting plate 5 can move up and down.
[0039] 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.
[0040] 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.
[0041] Preferably, the nozzle includes a top nozzle and several angled nozzles. The angled nozzles can spray water upwards at an angle. When the digestion bottle moves up and down under the action of the lifting device, the angled nozzles can circulate and flush the inner wall of the digestion bottle.
[0042] Preferably, a baffle 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5, and a sensor 42 that cooperates with the baffle 41 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 101. The device can identify the position of the mounting plate 5 through the combination of the sensor 42 and the baffle 41, which is used to limit the upper limit of the position of the mounting plate 5.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a snap-fit part 71 that mates with the digestion bottle mounting base 7 is used instead of an elastic retaining strip. Specifically, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 has several vertically arranged slots on its side wall, and the slots penetrate the side wall of the digestion bottle mounting base 7. A snap-fit part 71 is installed in the slot, and the snap-fit part 71 has an abutment strip 711 that passes through the digestion bottle mounting base 7. The snap-fit part 71 is elastically fixed to the digestion bottle mounting base 7 by a rubber ring 72 sleeved on the outside of the digestion bottle mounting base 7.
[0045] When the digestion bottle is placed inside the digestion bottle mounting base 7, the rubber ring 72 is elastic and the abutment strip 711 will press the digestion bottle inward, thereby fixing the digestion bottle.
[0046] In summary, during actual use, the microcontroller automatically controls the device. The operator inserts the digestion bottle into the digestion bottle mounting base 7, and then the transmission assembly rotates the base, aligning its opening downwards with the nozzle 121. During rinsing, the lifting device lowers the base, causing the digestion bottle to be inverted on top of the nozzle 121, or inverted on the nozzle while moving up and down, allowing the water flow to dynamically flush the inside of the digestion bottle for better rinsing. The multi-angle nozzles spray pressurized water upwards to flush the bottom of the bottle, then it falls down the pipe wall into the housing 1. During this process, water is drawn away from the drain port 13, completing the rinsing process after a period of time. Finally, the digestion bottle mounting base 7 reverses, allowing the operator to remove the digestion bottle. After a short while, the remaining water in the housing 1 is drawn away, completing the entire rinsing process.
[0047] Therefore, the device can be automatically controlled by an external controller, achieving efficient cleaning of the digestion bottle, ensuring the cleanliness of the digestion bottle, improving the accuracy of the experiment, and avoiding the inconvenience and safety hazards caused by manual cleaning.
[0048] 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.
