Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of experimental equipment technology, specifically relating to a protective cover for laboratory reagent bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In a laboratory environment, reagent bottles typically store various chemical reagents and solutions prepared from these reagents through complex, multi-step processes. Some reagents, solutions, or reagents may be corrosive, flammable, explosive, or toxic. Existing reagent bottles are usually made of glass; if a bottle breaks or tipps over due to external impact, reagent leakage will occur. Reagent leaks can cause the following problems: 1) Economic losses; 2) Many reagents and solutions are toxic, corrosive, or volatile. If a reagent leaks, personnel who come into contact with the reagent or smell the volatile reagent in the air may suffer burns, poisoning, etc., threatening personnel health and environmental safety; 3) Some solutions are extremely complex to prepare. If a reagent bottle is damaged and the solution is lost, the solution needs to be prepared again, which is time-consuming and affects the experimental process; 4) Various precision instruments are used in laboratory testing. Many precision instruments require various solutions to operate (such as the mobile phase used in high-performance liquid chromatography). If the solution is placed on the instrument and the reagent bottle is damaged due to external force during operation, the solution will not only lead to experimental failure, but if the solution seeps into the instrument, it will also cause instrument malfunction; 5) There are many electrical instruments and equipment in the laboratory, so there are many sockets in the laboratory. If the reagent leaks into the socket, it can easily cause a fire.

[0003] Current protective measures often have shortcomings, such as limited protective effect, inconvenience in operation, or high cost. Therefore, designing a protective cover that can effectively protect reagent bottles while facilitating handling by laboratory personnel is particularly important. In addition, some reagents and solutions require light-proof storage, which glass reagent bottles cannot provide; thus, a light-proof reagent bottle protective cover is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a protective cover for laboratory reagent bottles.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A protective cover for laboratory reagent bottles includes a protective cover shell body, a buffer liner, and a leakage collection device. Observation window assemblies are provided at corresponding positions of the protective cover shell body and the buffer liner.

[0006] The outer shell of the protective cover is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant opaque material. This high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant material effectively resists the corrosive effects of chemical reagents and external impacts, preventing solution leakage from broken reagent bottles. The opaque material blocks light, preventing the solution from degrading or deteriorating upon exposure to light.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer shell of the protective cover is cylindrical in shape, and a hollow interlayer is provided between it and the inner buffer liner, the hollow interlayer being filled with polyurethane foam.

[0008] Polyurethane foam is a sound-absorbing and vibration-damping material that can absorb external collision energy, reduce the vibration amplitude of the bottle, and further prevent the bottle from being damaged by external impact.

[0009] Furthermore, the leakage collection device is located at the lower end of the protective cover body, and its inner wall surrounds the outer side of the protective cover body.

[0010] Furthermore, the leakage collection device is lined with absorbent cotton.

[0011] Furthermore, the observation window assembly includes a transparent observation window and an observation window protective cover. The transparent observation window is embedded in the buffer inner liner and forms an integral part with the buffer inner liner. The upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover have horizontal movable tracks, and the upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover are respectively slidably engaged with the movable tracks through movable rollers.

[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the two ends of the movable track is greater than the distance between the two ends of the transparent observation window, and the observation window protective cover is located on the outside of the main body of the protective cover after installation.

[0013] Since the main body of the protective shield is opaque, it is impossible to observe the real-time state of the solution. Therefore, the transparent observation window makes it easy to check the current state of the solution, whether the solution is sufficient for the experiment, and whether the solution has deteriorated by observing its color and clarity.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover are extended with retaining edges.

[0015] This utility model features a rational structural design. The outermost protective shell prevents reagent bottles from breaking, solution leakage, and light-induced degradation. The hollow interlayer further reduces external impact, and the inner buffer liner further reduces external impact. With these triple-layered impact protection measures, it can withstand most external impacts, preventing reagent bottle breakage and solution leakage. The transparent observation window and its protective cover achieve both light-shielding and light-degradation prevention while allowing for continuous monitoring of the solution's condition. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention; Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the observation window assembly; In the diagram, 1-protective cover outer shell, 2-buffered inner liner, 3-leakage collection device, 4-hollow interlayer, 5-polyurethane foam, 6-absorbent cotton, 7-transparent observation window, 8-observation window protective cover, 9-moving track, 10-moving roller, 11-edge guard. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide a better understanding of the technical solution.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a protective cover for laboratory reagent bottles. The protective cover includes a main outer shell 1, a buffer liner 2, and a leakage collection device 3. The main outer shell 1 is cylindrical, and a hollow interlayer 4 is provided between it and the buffer liner 2. The hollow interlayer 4 is filled with polyurethane foam 5. The outermost protective outer shell 1 is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant opaque material. The high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the material enable the protective cover to effectively resist the corrosion of chemical reagents and block most external impacts, thus preventing solution leakage from broken reagent bottles. Furthermore, the opaque nature of the material prevents the solution from degrading and deteriorating upon exposure to light.

[0019] The polyurethane foam 5 filled in the hollow interlayer 4 absorbs external impact energy, reduces the vibration amplitude of the bottle, further weakens the external impact force, and prevents the bottle from being damaged by external impact. The inner buffer liner 2 is made of soft silicone. The reagent bottle is placed in the inner liner, and the buffer liner 2 fits the bottle body. The soft silicone ring around the reagent bottle can further weaken the external impact force. With the above triple impact protection measures from the outside to the inside, it can block most external impacts and avoid reagent bottle breakage and solution leakage due to external impact.

[0020] To ensure the successful completion of the experiment, it is often necessary to confirm beforehand that the solution used is normal and effective, and that the quantity is sufficient. However, to prevent photodegradation of the solution, the main body 1 of the protective shield is designed to be opaque, making it impossible to observe the real-time state of the solution. Therefore, observation window components are installed at corresponding positions on the main body 1 of the protective shield and the inner buffer liner 2. The installation relationship of these observation window components is as follows... Figure 2-3As shown, the observation window assembly includes a transparent observation window 7 and an observation window protective cover 8. The transparent observation window 7 is embedded in the buffer inner liner 2 and forms an integral part with the buffer inner liner 2. The upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover 8 have horizontal movable tracks 9. The upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover 8 are respectively slidably engaged with the movable tracks 9 through movable rollers 10. The distance between the left and right ends of the movable tracks 9 is greater than the distance between the left and right ends of the transparent observation window 7. After the observation window protective cover 8 is installed, it is located on the outside of the protective cover shell body 1. The upper and lower ends of the observation window protective cover 8 have flanges 11 extending from them.

[0021] When checking the solution's state, push the observation window protective cover 8 to the right along the movable track 9 using the stainless steel movable roller 10 until the track ends. This opens the observation window protective cover 8, revealing the transparent observation window 7. Looking through the transparent observation window 7, observe the solution's color, clarity, etc., to determine if the solution is normal and effective. Observe the solution volume in the bottle by checking the liquid level and the volume markings on the reagent bottle itself to determine if the solution volume is sufficient for the experiment. After observation, push the observation window protective cover 8 to the left along the movable track 9 using the stainless steel movable roller 10 until the track ends. This closes the observation window protective cover 8, completely blocking the transparent observation window 7. The retaining edge 11 of the observation window protective cover 8 confines the stainless steel movable roller 10 within the same width area of ​​the observation window protective cover 8, effectively preventing the stainless steel movable roller 10 from detaching from the observation window protective cover 8. Through the interaction of the transparent observation window 7, observation window protective cover 8, movable track 9, stainless steel movable roller 10, and retaining edge 11, the purpose of shielding the solution from light and preventing photodegradation is achieved while allowing for continuous observation of the solution's state.

[0022] Continue reading Figure 1 The leak collection device 3 is located at the lower end of the protective cover shell body 1. The leak collection device 3 is a cylindrical stainless steel structure, enclosing the protective cover shell body 1 from below, and lined with absorbent cotton 6 inside. As mentioned earlier, with these triple impact protection measures, which weaken the impact force, it can block most external impacts, preventing reagent bottle breakage and solution leakage. However, under extremely strong external forces, if the above triple protection fails to completely block the impact, causing the reagent bottle to break, it can still contain the leaked solution within the inner liner of the protective cover or the protective cover shell body 1, preventing it from entering the external environment. If neither the buffer liner 2 nor the protective cover shell body 1 can completely block the leaked liquid, the leaked liquid will be absorbed by the absorbent cotton 6, and the leak collection device, being made of stainless steel, can contain the solution within the leak collection device 3. These triple leak protection measures from the inside out effectively prevent the solution from entering the environment and coming into contact with personnel, causing burns or poisoning, and also prevent the solution from seeping into nearby sockets and causing a fire.
