Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of colorimetric tube comparison experiments, and in particular to an integrated device for placing and digesting colorimetric tubes. Background Technology
[0002] In the colorimetric tube comparison experiment, since the sample volume is large during analysis, in order to reduce the error caused by digestion in different autoclaves, digestion should be completed in the same autoclave as much as possible.
[0003] Traditional colorimetric tube racks are mostly rectangular frame structures, which have several limitations. Firstly, their fixed structure typically only accommodates a single size of colorimetric tube. When experiments require the simultaneous use of 25 ml and 50 ml colorimetric tubes, two racks of different sizes are needed, occupying significant workspace. Secondly, comparing colorimetric tubes for different sample reagents requires frequent tube transfers, comparisons, and replacements. This frequent transfer not only increases operational complexity but also increases the risk of tube tipping, spillage, and breakage, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the experiment. Furthermore, to prevent splashing, researchers often need to wrap each colorimetric tube individually with gauze, which is cumbersome and wasteful of materials. Therefore, we propose an integrated device for placing colorimeter racks and digestion to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an integrated device for placing and digesting colorimetric tube racks, solving the problems of traditional colorimetric tube racks that can only accommodate a single specification of colorimetric tubes. When encountering multiple specifications of colorimetric tubes, multiple colorimetric tube racks of different specifications are required, occupying a large amount of laboratory table space. Frequent transfer of colorimetric tubes during comparison can easily lead to colorimetric tubes tipping over, solution spilling, and breakage, affecting the accuracy of experimental results and experimental efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an integrated device for placing and digesting colorimeter racks, including a cylinder, a base plate and multiple mounting plates on the cylinder, each mounting plate including a receiving ring and a rotating body, the rotating body being rotatably connected to the receiving ring, the receiving ring having multiple circumferentially arrayed first through holes, the rotating body having multiple circumferentially arrayed second through holes, and both the second through holes and the first through holes having locking devices.
[0006] In the preferred embodiment, the cylinder is provided with a rotatably connected cover, the cylinder is provided with multiple handles, the bottom of the cylinder is provided with a bottom ring and a drain hole, the bottom ring is provided with a guide rail, and the drain hole is provided with a bottom cover.
[0007] In the preferred embodiment, the receiving ring includes an outer ring disc and an inner ring disc. The outer ring disc has an inner ring groove, and the inner ring disc has an outer ring groove. Multiple support rods are provided at the bottom of the outer ring groove.
[0008] In the preferred embodiment, the support rod is connected to the inner ring of the bottom receiving ring. Both the outer and inner rings are provided with multiple circumferential array first through holes, and the first and second through holes are provided with multiple sliding grooves.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating body includes a turntable, on which a ring body and an inner ring body are provided. The inner ring body rotates against the inner ring groove, and the ring body rotates against the outer ring groove.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the turntable is provided with multiple connecting rods, which are connected to the turntable of the bottom rotating body, and the top rotating body is provided with an operating lever.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the chassis includes an outer chassis and an inner chassis, with a second turntable between the outer chassis and the inner chassis. The second turntable is rotatably connected to the outer chassis and the inner chassis. An arc-shaped slip ring is provided at the bottom of the second turntable, which abuts against a guide rail. The second turntable is connected to a connecting rod of the bottom mounting plate.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the locking device includes multiple telescopic rods that slide against the slide groove. One end of the telescopic rod has a mounting hole, and the other end has an arc-shaped locking plate. A spring is installed in the mounting hole, and one side of the arc-shaped locking plate has an arc-shaped chamfer.
[0013] In the preferred embodiment, the mounting plate is equipped with multiple large and small colorimetric tubes, and the locking device is used to install either the large or small colorimetric tubes.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When different specifications of colorimetric tubes are needed, when the staff inserts colorimetric tubes of different diameters into the first or second through hole, the multiple arc-shaped locking plates of the locking device open under the pressure of the colorimetric tube, so that the multiple arc-shaped locking plates of the locking device compress the spring, and the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped locking plates abuts against the outer wall of the colorimetric tube until the bottom of the colorimetric tube abuts against the base. The locking device can wrap and clamp colorimetric tubes of different diameters, avoiding the phenomenon that multiple colorimetric tube racks of different specifications need to be equipped when multiple colorimetric tubes of different specifications are needed in the experiment, which occupies a lot of experimental table space.
[0015] The receiving ring and rotating structure work together to divide the through-holes for mounting colorimetric tubes into three layers in a circumferential array, allowing samples from different batches to be placed on different layers. When comparison is needed, the operator manipulates the lever of the rotating body on the top mounting plate, causing multiple mounting plates to rotate relative to the receiving ring. This rotates the colorimetric tubes on the second through-hole, allowing direct comparison between the colorimetric tube samples on the rotating body and those on the outer and inner ring plates of the receiving ring. This avoids frequent transfer of colorimetric tubes during comparison, which can easily lead to tube tipping, solution spillage, breakage, and other issues that affect the accuracy and efficiency of the experimental results.

[0017] Example 1: like Figure 1-8The device for placing and digesting colorimeter racks includes a cylinder 1, a base 4 and multiple mounting plates 3 on the cylinder 1, and a mounting plate 3 including a receiving ring 5 and a rotating body 6. The rotating body 6 is rotatably connected to the receiving ring 5. The receiving ring 5 is provided with multiple circumferential array first through holes 503, and the rotating body 6 is provided with multiple circumferential array second through holes 602. Both the second through holes 602 and the first through holes 503 are provided with locking devices 7. With this structure, when different sizes of colorimetric tubes are needed, the staff inserts colorimetric tubes of different diameters into the first through hole 503 or the second through hole 602. The multiple arc-shaped locking plates 702 of the locking device 7 open under the pressure of the colorimetric tubes, so that the multiple arc-shaped locking plates 702 of the locking device 7 compress the spring 704. The arc-shaped surfaces of the arc-shaped locking plates 702 abut against the outer wall of the colorimetric tube until the bottom of the colorimetric tube abuts against the base plate 4. The locking device 7 can wrap and clamp colorimetric tubes of different diameters, avoiding the need to equip multiple colorimetric tube racks of different sizes when multiple colorimetric tubes of different sizes are needed in the experiment, thus avoiding the phenomenon of occupying a lot of experimental table space.
[0018] The receiving ring 5 and the rotating body 6 work together to divide the through holes for mounting colorimetric tubes into three layers in a circumferential array, allowing samples from different batches to be placed on different layers. When comparison is needed, the operator manipulates the operating lever 606 of the rotating body 6 on the uppermost mounting plate 3, causing the rotating bodies 6 of multiple mounting plates 3 to rotate relative to the receiving ring 5. This causes the colorimetric tubes on the second through hole 602 to rotate, allowing the colorimetric tube samples on the rotating body 6 to be directly compared with the colorimetric tube samples on the outer ring plate 501 and inner ring plate 502 on the receiving ring 5. This avoids frequent transfer of colorimetric tubes during comparison, which can easily lead to tipping, spillage, or breakage of the colorimetric tubes, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of the experimental results.
[0019] The bottom of the cover 2 is equipped with a buffer pad, such as a high-temperature resistant sponge; the cover 2 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 1. During digestion, the cover 2 is closed, and the buffer pad forms a closed space to prevent the digestion solution from splashing, eliminating the need for additional gauze binding. This reduces the complexity of operation.
[0020] The bottom of the cylinder 1 is provided with a drain hole 104. When the experiment is conducted, the outer wall of the high-temperature colorimetric tube will generate a large amount of condensate when it comes into contact with the air. The condensate can be collected at the bottom of the cylinder 1 and discharged through the drain hole 104.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the cylinder 1 is provided with a rotatably connected cover 2, and the cylinder 1 is provided with multiple handles 101. The bottom of the cylinder 1 is provided with a bottom ring 102 and a drain hole 104. The bottom ring 102 is provided with a guide rail 103, and the drain hole 104 is provided with a bottom cover. With this structure, the bottom cover and the drain hole 104 are threadedly connected. The drain hole 104 at the bottom of the cylinder 1 allows for the collection of condensate water at the bottom of the cylinder 1, which is then drained through the drain hole 104, as the high-temperature colorimetric tube will generate a large amount of condensate water during the experiment.
[0022] In the preferred embodiment, the receiving ring 5 includes an outer ring disk 501 and an inner ring disk 502. The outer ring disk 501 has an inner ring groove 5011, and the inner ring disk 502 has an outer ring groove 5021. Multiple support rods 5022 are provided at the bottom of the outer ring groove 5021. With this structure, when comparison is needed, the operator operates the operating rod 606 of the rotating body 6 of the uppermost mounting disk 3 to rotate the rotating body 6 relative to the receiving ring 5, thereby rotating the colorimetric tubes on the second through hole 602. This allows the colorimetric tube samples on the rotating body 6 to be directly compared with the colorimetric tube samples on the outer ring disk 501 and inner ring disk 502 of the receiving ring 5.
[0023] In the preferred embodiment, the support rod 5022 is connected to the inner ring disk of the bottom receiving ring 5. Both the outer ring disk 501 and the inner ring disk 502 are provided with multiple circumferential array first through holes 503, and the first through holes 503 and the second through holes 602 are provided with multiple sliding grooves.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating body 6 includes a turntable 601, on which a ring body 603 and an inner ring body 604 are provided. The inner ring body 604 rotates against the inner ring groove 5011, and the ring body 603 rotates against the outer ring groove 5021. With this structure, the rotating body 6 is rotatably connected to the outer ring disc 501 and the inner ring disc 502 respectively.
[0025] The outer ring disc 501 is installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 1, and multiple inner ring discs 502 of the mounting discs 3 at different heights are connected by support rods 5022. Multiple rotating bodies 6 of the mounting discs 3 at different heights are connected by connecting rods 605.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the turntable 601 is provided with multiple connecting rods 605, which are connected to the turntable of the bottom rotating body 6, and the top rotating body 6 is provided with an operating lever 606.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the chassis 4 includes an outer disk 401 and an inner disk 402. A second turntable 403 is provided between the outer disk 401 and the inner disk 402. The second turntable 403 is rotatably connected to the outer disk 401 and the inner disk 402. An arc-shaped slip ring 404 is provided at the bottom of the second turntable 403, and the arc-shaped slip ring 404 abuts against the guide rail 103. The second turntable 403 is connected to the connecting rod 605 of the bottom mounting plate 3. With this structure, the second turntable 403 is rotatably connected to both the outer disk 401 and the inner disk 402. The second turntable 403 is also connected to the adjacent rotating body 6 of the chassis 4, and the connecting rod 605 of the adjacent rotating body 6 is supported on the second turntable 403.
[0028] When multiple rotating bodies 6 rotate relative to the receiving ring 5, the second turntable 403 rotates relative to the outer disk 401, and the arc-shaped slip ring 404 rotates against the guide rail 103.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the locking device 7 includes a plurality of telescopic rods 701, which slide against the slide groove. One end of the telescopic rod 701 is provided with a mounting hole 703, and the other end of the telescopic rod 701 is provided with an arc-shaped locking piece 702. A spring 704 is provided on the mounting hole 703, and an arc-shaped chamfer 7021 is provided on one side of the arc-shaped locking piece 702. With this structure, when different sizes of colorimetric tubes are needed, the staff inserts colorimetric tubes of different diameters into the first through hole 503 or the second through hole 602. The multiple arc-shaped locking plates 702 of the locking device 7 open under the pressure of the colorimetric tubes, so that the multiple arc-shaped locking plates 702 of the locking device 7 compress the spring 704. The arc-shaped surfaces of the arc-shaped locking plates 702 abut against the outer wall of the colorimetric tube until the bottom of the colorimetric tube abuts against the base plate 4. The locking device 7 can wrap and clamp colorimetric tubes of different diameters, avoiding the need to equip multiple colorimetric tube racks of different sizes when multiple colorimetric tubes of different sizes are needed in the experiment, thus avoiding the phenomenon of occupying a lot of experimental table space.
[0030] The arc-shaped locking plate 702 has an arc-shaped chamfered surface 7021 on one end face, which makes it convenient for the operator to press the arc-shaped chamfered surface 7021 of the arc-shaped locking plate 702 when operating the colorimeter tube, so as to compress the spring 704.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate 3 is provided with multiple large colorimetric tubes 8 and small colorimetric tubes 9, and the locking device 7 is used to install either the large colorimetric tubes 8 or the small colorimetric tubes 9.
