Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic stirrers for laboratory use, specifically a multi-station magnetic stirrer. Background Technology
[0002] A magnetic stirrer is a laboratory instrument used for mixing liquids, primarily for stirring or simultaneously heating and stirring low-viscosity liquids or solid-liquid mixtures. Its basic principle is based on the repulsion and attraction of like poles in a magnetic field. The magnetic field drives a magnetic stir bar placed in a container to rotate in a circular motion, thus achieving the purpose of stirring the liquid. Combined with a heating and temperature control system, the sample temperature can be heated and controlled according to specific experimental requirements, maintaining the necessary temperature conditions to ensure the liquid is mixed to the required experimental consistency.
[0003] However, existing magnetic stirrers typically only have one heating station, making it impossible to heat and stir multiple samples simultaneously. This necessitates waiting for the previous sample to finish stirring before starting the next, significantly slowing down the experimental process. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 The diagram illustrates a multi-station magnetic stirrer, comprising a base 1 and an upper panel 2. The upper panel 2 has multiple beaker recesses 3 evenly distributed across it. During actual experiments, a beaker containing the experimental sample liquid is placed into one of the beaker recesses 3, and the magnetic rotor is then placed inside. Compared to a traditional flat plate, the beaker recesses 3 in this design provide some degree of restraint on the sample liquid, improving the stability of the beaker during stirring.
[0018] The base 1 is equipped with multiple speed-regulating motors 4, and the positions of the speed-regulating motors 4 correspond to the grooves 3 of the beaker. Each speed-regulating motor 4 has a strong magnet 5 fixed on its rotating shaft. The speed-regulating motor 4 drives the strong magnet 5 to rotate, and the strong magnet 5 drives the magnetic rotor to rotate at high speed through magnetic attraction, thereby stirring the experimental sample liquid in the beaker.
[0019] An annular cover 6 is provided on the back of the upper panel 2, corresponding to the position of the beaker recess 3. Multiple annular covers 6 are provided, each corresponding to the position of the beaker recess 3. A heating element 7 is provided in each annular cover 6. The side of the heating element 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular cover 6, and the upper end face of the heating element 7 is fixedly connected to the back of the upper panel 2. The heating element 7 is used to heat the experimental sample liquid in the beaker.
[0020] To prevent the strong magnets 5 from contacting the heating element 7 during rotation, each strong magnet 5 is housed within the corresponding annular cover 6. A gap is maintained between the upper surface of the strong magnet 5 and the lower surface of the heating element 7 to further prevent contact. A control circuit board 8 is also located on the back of the upper panel 2 to control the operation of the speed-regulating motor 4 and the heating element 7 within the device.
[0021] Specifically, a speed control switch 9 is provided on one side of the upper panel 2. There are multiple speed control switches 9, and their number is the same as the number of speed control motors 4. Each speed control switch 9 is electrically connected to a speed control circuit board 8.
[0022] In this embodiment, the speed control switch 9 is used to control the speed control and start / stop control of the speed control motor 4. Each speed control switch 9 can control one speed control motor 4 individually, so one or more speed control motors 4 can be selectively turned on. This is suitable for heating and stirring one experimental sample liquid or heating and stirring multiple experimental sample liquids at the same time. Different stirring speeds and heating temperatures can be set for different experimental sample liquids.
[0023] Specifically, there are heating switches 10 on the upper panel 2. There are multiple heating switches 10, and their number is the same as the number of heating elements 7. Each heating switch 10 is electrically connected to a control circuit board 8.
[0024] In this embodiment, each heating switch 10 can control a corresponding heating element 7 to work. When needed, a heating element 7 can be selectively turned on or multiple heating elements 7 can be turned on simultaneously to heat the experimental sample liquid.
[0025] Specifically, the control circuit board 8 is electrically connected to the speed-regulating motor 4 and the heating element 7. The upper panel 2 is also provided with a connecting ring 11 for mounting a temperature sensor bracket. A heat dissipation vent 12 is also provided on one side of the base 1 to dissipate heat from inside the base 1.
[0026] Specifically, each speed-regulating motor 4 has a motor damping plate 13 at its bottom. One end of the motor damping plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the speed-regulating motor 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 1. The motor damping plate 13 is made of rubber. The lower surface of the base 1 is provided with four shock-absorbing support feet 14, which are connected to the base 1 by threaded connection.
[0027] In this embodiment, the installation of rubber motor damping pads 13 reduces the transmission of vibrations generated by the speed-regulating motor 4 during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated during equipment operation.
[0028] Working principle: In actual use, the experimenter places the beaker containing the experimental sample liquid into the beaker groove 3 on the upper panel 2, and places a magnetic rotor of appropriate size in the beaker. Here, depending on the amount of experimental sample liquid that needs to be stirred, one beaker can be placed in one beaker groove 3, or multiple beakers can be placed in multiple different beaker grooves 3.
[0029] After placing the beaker, start the equipment. The speed-regulating motor 4 drives the strong magnet 5 to rotate. The strong magnet 5 drives the magnetic rotor to rotate at high speed through magnetic attraction, thereby stirring the experimental sample liquid in the beaker. Similarly, the heating switch 10 is used to activate the heating element 7 to heat the experimental sample liquid in the beaker.
