Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water bath technology, specifically to a water bath that facilitates water drainage. Background Technology

[0002] A water bath is a laboratory constant-temperature heating device. Its core principle is to use water as a heat transfer medium, immersing the sample to be heated (usually a liquid or substance contained in a test tube, beaker, conical flask, etc.) in a constant-temperature water bath. By controlling the water temperature, the sample is indirectly and uniformly heated, kept warm, evaporated, or reacted. The drainage-optimized semen heating water bath is a high-precision constant-temperature device specifically designed for artificial insemination of pigs. Through engineering improvements to the drainage system, it achieves complete drainage and thorough cleaning of the water medium.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219596676U discloses a water bath, which includes "a pot body, a heating module, and an electrical control module. A bottom plate is provided inside the pot body, and multiple positioning sleeves with different apertures are embedded in the bottom plate. Hanging plates are connected to both sides of the bottom plate, and the top of the hanging plates rests on the top of the pot body. A pot lid is rotatably installed on the top of the pot body via a pin. Multiple round holes are formed in a rectangular array on the pot lid, and round covers are placed over the round holes." However, the drainage structure defects increase the risk of contamination. Manually scooping water to remove residual water increases the risk of contact with contaminants, and there are also many blind spots for disinfection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water bath that facilitates the drainage of water, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water bath that facilitates water drainage, comprising four legs, each of which is fixedly equipped with a vibration isolator at its bottom, and a bath body assembly is fixedly installed at the top of each of the four legs. The bottom outlet of the bath body assembly is provided with a U-shaped outlet pipe, and the left side of the bath body assembly is provided with an inlet pipe. The top opening of the bath body assembly is hinged from left to right to a top cover assembly and a second cover body, and a pipe support assembly is movably engaged in the groove on the left side of the bath body assembly.

[0006] The pot assembly includes an insulated pot body. The bottom of the insulated pot body is fixedly mounted on the top of four support legs at the four right angles. The front outer wall of the insulated pot body is provided with a water level observation window and a controller from left to right. The interior of the insulated pot body has a double-slot design. Heating wires are embedded on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the left slot of the insulated pot body. Two temperature sensors are provided on the right side of the inner wall of the left slot of the insulated pot body. A circulation pump is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the right slot of the insulated pot body through a fixing plate. The liquid inlet of the circulation pump is connected to and communicates with the water inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet of the circulation pump is connected to and communicates with the water outlet pipe. A water outlet pipe is provided in front of the water inlet pipe. Both the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe pass through the inner partition of the slot of the insulated pot body and extend to the left slot of the insulated pot body.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the device allows sample bottles to be placed between the support frame and the fixed frame, deionized water to be injected into the insulated pot to a suitable water level, the controller adjusts the heating wire power according to the temperature sensor, the circulation pump, the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe keep the water circulating at a suitable temperature, and the water is quickly discharged through the funnel-shaped outlet of the insulated pot by opening the valve and the inspection port of the U-shaped outlet pipe. This optimizes the drainage structure, reduces the risk of contamination, and reduces disinfection dead corners.

[0008] To maintain a tight seal between the groove on the left side of the insulated pot and the first cover, preventing moisture evaporation and avoiding salt concentration and contamination:

[0009] Further configured as follows: the top cover assembly includes a first cover body, the first cover body is hinged to the left side slot opening of the insulated pot body by a hinge on the bottom rear side, the bottom of the first cover body is provided with a sealing gasket, and the outer wall of the first cover body is provided with three rectangular covers arranged side by side.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the first cover covers the left side groove opening of the insulated pot body with a hinge, and the sealing gasket ensures that the interface between the two is sealed, so that the left side groove of the insulated pot body and the first cover are kept in a sealed state, preventing moisture evaporation and avoiding salt concentration and contamination.

[0011] To ensure stable placement of sample vials of different diameters on the support frame, while reducing hot and cold spots generated under the circulation water flow:

[0012] Further configured as follows: the tube rack assembly includes a support frame, which is engaged with the left side groove of the insulated pot body by protrusions on the front and rear side plates, and the side plates have multiple holes. A handle is provided on the top of the side plate. The bottom surface of the support frame has multiple rows of circular grooves with increasing diameter from left to right, and holes are provided in the grooves. The bottom of the support frame is engaged with a fixing frame by two horizontal rectangular grooves. The top surface of the outer wall of the fixing frame has multiple rows of circular holes with increasing diameter from left to right, and multiple holes are provided on the side plates of the fixing frame. An elastic silicone gasket is provided in the circular holes.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a suitable circular groove on the support is selected according to the bottom diameter of the sample bottle. Then, the neck of the sample bottle is placed into the corresponding circular hole on the fixing frame. The fixing frame is divided into three sections that can be disassembled and spliced. Each section has a circular hole of different diameters, and each section is connected to each other by side locking blocks, slots, and tenons. The elastic silicone gaskets in the circular holes flexibly hold the neck of the sample bottle. Deionized water flows evenly and multi-directionally around the sample bottle through multiple holes on the side wall of the fixing frame, the side wall of the support frame, and the bottom, which increases the stability of placement and reduces the generation of hot and cold spots under the circulation of water.

[0014] To achieve automatic discharge of collected liquids using gravity, the drainage structure has been optimized to prevent residual water pollution.

[0015] The following configuration is further provided: the bottom liquid outlet of the heat preservation pot body is designed in the shape of a funnel, a U-shaped liquid outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom liquid outlet of the heat preservation pot body, and the U-shaped liquid outlet pipe is equipped with a valve and an inspection port, and a snap ring is provided at the opening of the U-shaped liquid outlet pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve and inspection port of the U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 4 are opened to quickly discharge the water through the funnel-shaped liquid outlet of the insulated pot body 301. The valve and U-shaped pipe design prevents risks such as air backflow and external liquid backflow. The liquid is automatically discharged by gravity flow, which optimizes the drainage structure and eliminates residual water pollution.

[0017] To improve the corrosion resistance of the equipment while maintaining a constant temperature inside the insulated pot, thereby preventing sample deactivation in the sample vials:

[0018] Further configuration: an exhaust fan is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the insulated pot body, and the insulated pot body is made of medical-grade or food-grade 316L stainless steel with a vacuum jacket in the middle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the insulated pot body and the first lid are made of medical-grade or food-grade 316L stainless steel, with a vacuum interlayer in between, which can maintain the overall temperature to a certain extent, thereby avoiding sample deactivation in the sample bottle.

[0035] The computer software involved in the hardware carriers such as the circulating pump in the technical solution is software technology known to those skilled in the art. It is merely applied to the aforementioned hardware carriers. In other words, the computer software portion of the technical solution is an essential technical feature for solving the aforementioned technical problem, constituting a necessary technical feature for the technical problem solved by this application, but it is not a differentiating technical feature or a point of technical improvement. The applicant has not made any technical improvements to the computer software portion involved in the aforementioned related hardware carriers, nor is it a key technical point of the invention.

[0036] Therefore, the "circulating pump" and the like mentioned in this application are physical functional modules that combine computer software programs or protocols in the prior art with the hardware carrier of this application. The computer software programs involved in these physical functional modules are all technologies known to those skilled in the art and are not improvements of this application. The improvement of this application should be the interaction between the various physical functional modules, that is, the improvement of the overall structure of the automatic dipping machine of this application, in order to solve the corresponding technical problems to be solved by this application.

[0037] The water bath, which facilitates water drainage, operates as follows:

[0038] First, staff inject deionized water into the left side tank of the insulated container 301 through the inlet pipe. They then observe the liquid level in the insulated container 301 through the water level observation window 302 and the water level scale on it, ensuring the liquid level remains at a suitable height, not exceeding the maximum water level line and not falling below the minimum water level line. Next, the controller 303 adjusts the power of the heating wire 304 in real time based on feedback from the two temperature sensors 305 in the left side tank of the insulated container 301. The controller 303 integrates a temperature display screen and a microprocessor-controlled PID temperature controller to heat the deionized water, bringing it to the appropriate storage temperature for the sample vials. Then, the circulation pump 306 is activated, and water flows through the inlet pipe 307 and outlet pipe 3... 08. Water circulation is achieved. An anti-overflow gasket is provided at the junction of the inlet pipe 307, outlet pipe 308, and the partition plate inside the insulated pot body 301 to prevent leakage. An exhaust fan on the insulated pot body 301 dissipates heat from the circulation pump 306, maintaining a uniform internal water temperature in the left side compartment of the insulated pot body 301. The first cover 501 is opened using the handle, and the fixing bracket 703 in the tube rack assembly 7 is removed. The sample bottle is placed on the support bracket 701. A suitable circular groove 702 is selected based on the bottom diameter of the sample bottle. The bottle neck is then placed into the corresponding circular hole 704 on the fixing bracket 703. Finally, the feet of the fixing bracket 703 are placed in the horizontal grooves on the support bracket 701. The fixing bracket 703 can be divided into several parts. The sample bottle can be disassembled individually or assembled as a whole into three sections. Each section has circular holes 704 of different diameters, and the sections are interlocked by side-mounted locking blocks and mortise and tenon joints. Elastic silicone gaskets inside the circular holes 704 flexibly clamp the bottle neck. Deionized water flows evenly and multidirectionally through multiple holes on the side walls of the fixing frame 703, the side walls of the support frame 701, and the bottom, reducing hot and cold spots inside the left side groove of the insulated pot 301 and maintaining the semen diluent in a constant temperature and active state. The insulated pot 301 and the first cover 501 are made of medical-grade or food-grade 316L stainless steel, with a vacuum jacket in between to maintain overall temperature. When inspection or local adjustment of the sample bottle is required, it can be pulled... Adjustments are made by opening the rectangular cover 503. The rectangular cover 503 has a multi-layer silicone sealing ring around its side wall. After all the sample bottles have been transferred, the staff can open the valve and inspection port of the U-shaped liquid outlet pipe 4 to quickly discharge the liquid through the funnel-shaped liquid outlet of the insulated pot body 301. The valve and U-shaped pipe design prevents risks such as air backflow and external liquid backflow. After that, disinfectant is poured in for soaking. After the liquid is circulated and disinfected, it is discharged again through the liquid outlet. The funnel-shaped liquid outlet and the smooth inner wall of the left side groove of the insulated pot body 301 facilitate the flow of liquid and reduce internal dead corners. After that, wipe it dry with a dry cloth for the next use. The second cover 6 is opened periodically to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the circulation pump 306, the inlet pipe 307 and the outlet pipe 308.
