However, the spring installation height is difficult to adjust. When dealing with test tubes of different heights, the sealing gasket cannot effectively fit the top surface of the test tube, affecting the sealing performance. In addition, the sealing gasket is easily corroded by the chemical components of fertilizer, shortening its service life and increasing costs.

[0004] Therefore, a sealing mechanism for test tubes used in fertilizer testing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping and positioning assembly includes a clamping block, one end of the spring and the top surface of the placement bracket are both fixedly connected to the clamping block, and a sponge block is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping block.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a locking screw, the locking screw is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting block, and a butterfly nut is threadedly connected to the surface of the locking screw.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a sealing mechanism for test tubes used in fertilizer testing includes a base 1 and a mounting block 8. The top surface of the base 1 is provided with a test tube positioning component 2 for placing the test tubes on the mechanism. A vertical block 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the test tube positioning component 2, and a spring 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical block 3. Clamping and positioning components 5 for stable placement of the test tubes are provided on both the surface of the spring 4 and the surface of the test tube positioning component 2. A vertical frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, and an adjustment hole 7 is provided through the surface of the vertical frame 6. A locking component 9 for fixing the installation position on the vertical frame 6 is provided on the surface of the vertical frame 6. A guide connection component 10 for adjusting the installation height of the mounting block 8 is provided on the surface of the vertical frame 6. A sealing connection component 11 for sealing the test tubes is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting block 8, and a sealing gasket 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing connection component 11. The sealing gasket 12 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene-rubber composite material. Specifically, in this sealing mechanism for test tubes used in fertilizer testing, the test tubes are positioned on the base 1... The component 2 allows the test tube to be installed on the base 1. The vertical block 3, spring 4, and clamping positioning component 5 ensure stable positioning of the test tube on the sealing mechanism. This structure also allows for the positioning of test tubes of different sizes. The locking component 9 on the surface of the mounting block 8 locks the mounting block 8 securely on the vertical frame 6. The adjustment hole 7 on the vertical frame 6 allows for adjustment of the mounting height of the mounting block 8. The guide connection component 10 on the mounting block 8 allows for stable up-and-down movement. When the mounting block 8 is adjusted, the mounting height of the sealing connection component 11 can also be adjusted. This allows the sealing gasket 12 to effectively adhere to the open top surface of the test tube, depending on the type of test tube being installed. The sealing gasket 12 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene-rubber composite material, which resists corrosion from various chemical components in fertilizers, reduces aging and damage to the sealing gasket 12, extends the service life of the sealing mechanism, and lowers operating costs.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the test tube positioning and placement assembly 2 includes a placement bracket 201. The placement bracket 201 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, and the vertical block 3 is fixedly connected to the placement bracket 201. A bottom rubber pad 202 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. The bottom rubber pad 202 has a bottom placement opening 203 on its top surface and a placement hole 204 for placing test tubes through its top surface. Specifically, the placement bracket 201 is fixed to the top surface of the base 1 by welding or bolting to provide initial support for placing the test tubes. The bottom rubber pad 202 is fixed to the top surface of the base 1 by bonding or pressing. The bottom placement opening 203 is used to accommodate the bottom of the test tube. The placement hole 204 penetrates the bottom rubber pad 202. At the same time, the opening size of the placement hole 204 allows test tubes of various sizes to pass through, allowing the test tubes to pass through and achieve initial positioning, preventing the test tubes from tipping over.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the clamping and positioning assembly 5 includes a clamping block 501. One end of the spring 4 and the top surface of the placement bracket 201 are both fixedly connected to the clamping block 501. A sponge block 502 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping block 501. Specifically, the clamping block 501 is welded or bolted to one end of the spring 4 and the top surface of the placement bracket 201, respectively. The sponge block 502 is fixed to the surface of the clamping block 501 by adhesive. With the help of the elastic force of the spring 4, the sponge block 502 flexibly fits the outer wall of the test tube to achieve stable clamping of the test tube while avoiding damage to the test tube.

[0029] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 9 includes a locking screw 901, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting block 8. A butterfly nut 902 is threadedly connected to the surface of the locking screw 901. Specifically, the locking assembly 9 is configured such that the locking screw 901 is welded or bolted to the surface of the mounting block 8, passes through the adjustment hole 7 of the vertical frame 6, and engages with the butterfly nut 902. By tightening the butterfly nut 902, the mounting block 8 can be locked at a specified height on the vertical frame 6.

[0030] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the guide connection assembly 10 includes a fixed angle bracket 1001. The fixed angle bracket 1001 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical frame 6. The fixed angle bracket 1001 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed angle bracket 1001. The guide rail 1003 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 1002. The mounting block 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 1003. Specifically, the guide connection assembly 10 is configured such that the fixed angle bracket 1001 is fixed to the surface of the vertical frame 6 by welding. The guide rail 1002 is welded or bolted to the surface of the fixed angle bracket 1001. The slider 1003 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 1002. The slider 1003 is welded or bolted to the mounting block 8, providing stable guidance for the vertical movement of the mounting block 8 and ensuring a smooth and precise height adjustment process.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sealing connection assembly 11 includes a vertical rod 1101. The vertical rod 1101 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting block 8, and a compression spring 1102 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting block 8. A pressure plate 1103 is movably sleeved on the surface of the vertical rod 1101, and the bottom end of the compression spring 1102 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 1103. Specifically, in the arrangement of the sealing connection assembly 11, the vertical rod 1101 is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting block 8, one end of the compression spring 1102 is welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting block 8, and the other end is connected to the pressure plate 1103. The pressure plate 1103 is movably sleeved on the surface of the vertical rod 1101 and can move axially along the vertical rod 1101. Through the pressure of the compression spring 1102, the pressure plate 1103 and the sealing gasket 12 can be moved downward to seal the top surface of the test tube. The sealing gasket 12 is bonded or pressed onto the bottom surface of the pressure plate 1103 and is made of polytetrafluoroethylene-rubber composite material, which has good corrosion resistance and sealing performance.

[0032] In summary: The sealing height adjustment is based on the actual height of the test tube, adjusting the height of the mounting block 8 and the sealing connection assembly 11. Loosen the butterfly nut 902 to release the locking screw 901 from the mounting block 8; push the mounting block 8, and with the sliding cooperation of the slider 1003 and the guide rail 1002 in the guide connection assembly 10, the mounting block 8 moves along the height direction of the vertical frame 6, simultaneously driving the sealing connection assembly 11 to move synchronously; when the distance between the bottom surface of the sealing gasket 12 and the top surface of the open test tube is suitable and can be judged by observation or simple measurement, pass the locking screw 901 through the adjustment hole 7 of the corresponding height of the vertical frame 6, tighten the butterfly nut 902, and use the clamping force between the butterfly nut 902 and the surface of the vertical frame 6 to lock the mounting block 8 at the current height, completing the sealing height adjustment to adapt to the sealing requirements of test tubes of different heights.

[0033] The test tube is placed and positioned by moving the sealing gasket 12 upwards via the sealing connection component 11 and inserting it into the placement hole 204 of the test tube positioning component 2. The bottom of the test tube falls into the bottom placement opening 203 of the bottom rubber pad 202, achieving initial positioning. At this time, the spring 4 is in a naturally extended or pre-compressed state. As the test tube is inserted, the spring 4 pushes the clamping block 501 and the surface sponge block 502 closer to the test tube until the sponge block 502 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the test tube. The elasticity of the spring 4 is used to flexibly clamp the test tube, completing the stable placement of the test tube on the mechanism, which is suitable for clamping test tubes of different diameters.

[0034] After the test tube is placed, the pressure plate 1103 is released. Under the elastic force of the compression spring 1102, the pressure plate 1103 moves on the vertical rod 1101, causing the sealing gasket 12 to press down against the top surface of the open end of the test tube. The continuous elastic force of the compression spring 1102 ensures that the sealing gasket 12 fits tightly against the mouth of the test tube, achieving a reliable seal. At the same time, the polytetrafluoroethylene-rubber composite material used in the sealing gasket 12 can effectively resist the corrosion of chemical components such as acids, alkalis, and salts in fertilizers, delaying the aging and damage of the sealing gasket 12, ensuring long-term stable sealing effect, and reducing detection errors and equipment maintenance costs caused by the failure of the sealing gasket 12.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
