Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of anti-fogging equipment for glass tubes, and in particular to an anti-fogging device for glass tubes with a self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Glass tubes are a type of non-metallic tube, primarily composed of basic components such as sodium oxide, boron oxide, and silicon dioxide. Due to their excellent properties, glass tubes are widely used in various fields including chemical engineering, aerospace, military, household use, and hospitals. In chemical, biological, and medical experiments, glass tubes are indispensable basic tools, mainly used for holding, heating, or mixing small amounts of liquid or solid samples.

[0003] In actual experiments, glass test tubes are sealed with stoppers, creating a semi-sealed state. However, this state is often not completely airtight. In cold weather, if there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the glass tube, water vapor from the outside and the breath of the experimenter will quickly condense inside, forming mist-like water droplets. These droplets adhere to the inner wall of the glass tube, affecting not only the clarity of observation but also potentially interfering with the experimental results. Typically, the experimenter needs to clean the glass test tubes before the experiment. Furthermore, after heating during the experiment, if the glass test tubes are left to stand for a period of time, condensation will also form on the inner wall, requiring further cleaning and thus affecting experimental efficiency.

[0004] To address the above issues, we have developed a glass tube anti-fogging device with a self-cleaning function. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses a glass tube anti-fogging device with self-cleaning function, which aims to solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A self-cleaning anti-fogging device for a glass tube includes a main body, on which a disc is rotatably connected. Three curved grooves are equally spaced in a circular array on the disc, each groove penetrating the disc and the main body. A first sliding rod is slidably connected within each of the three grooves, extending through the grooves to the outside of the main body. A first circular block is fixedly connected to one end of each of the three sliding rods, and a rectangular block is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the three sliding rods.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the main body has three grooves equidistantly arranged in a circular array, and a second circular block is slidably connected in each of the three grooves. A second sliding rod is fixedly connected to one end of each of the three second circular blocks, and the corresponding second sliding rod is connected to the corresponding rectangular block. An arc-shaped clamping block is fixedly connected to each of the three rectangular blocks.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the disk, and a hole is formed in the limiting block. Threaded holes are formed at equal intervals in a circular array on the main body, and the threaded holes are used in conjunction with the holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body, a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting block, a smooth rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block, a first motor is fixedly connected to the connecting block, the output end of the first motor is connected to the threaded rod, a sliding block is slidably connected to the smooth rod, the sliding block is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and a third circular block is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the smooth rod and the threaded rod.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a brush is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block in a circular array at equal intervals, and three second motors are fixedly connected to the sliding block in a circular array at equal intervals, with the output end of each second motor connected to the corresponding brush.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a glass tube is placed below the main body, the glass tube is slidably connected to the three arc-shaped clamps, and a fan is fixedly connected below the main body.

[0012] The anti-fogging device for glass tubes with self-cleaning function provided by this utility model has the following advantages: Firstly, by rotating the disc, the first sliding rod slides from the inside to the outside within the curved groove. Simultaneously, the rectangular block connected to the first sliding rod moves upward within the groove, causing the three rectangular blocks to unfold outwards around the center of the main body. Then, the operator secures the arc-shaped clamps on the rectangular blocks tightly to the glass test tube. Through these operations, the structure can be adjusted according to the size of the glass test tube, further enhancing its applicability.

[0013] Secondly, by activating the first and second motors and the fan, the brushes can efficiently clean the inner walls of the glass test tubes. Simultaneously, the fan's airflow helps to dry the moisture, accelerating the removal of water from the glass tubes. This operation effectively prevents fogging from forming on the inner walls of unused glass tubes, meeting experimental requirements. Furthermore, after the glass tubes have been heated in experiments, residual moisture may remain on their inner walls. Repeating the above steps will remove this moisture again. The operation is simple and quick; staff only need to control the motors and fan to easily complete the cleaning and anti-fogging treatment of the glass test tubes, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] This utility model discloses a glass tube anti-fogging device with self-cleaning function.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a glass tube anti-fogging device with self-cleaning function includes a main body 1, a disc 2 rotatably connected to the main body 1, three curved grooves 3 are equally spaced in a circular array on the disc 2, the three curved grooves 3 all penetrate the disc 2 and the main body 1, a first sliding rod 4 is slidably connected in the three curved grooves 3, the three first sliding rods 4 all penetrate the curved grooves 3 to the outside of the main body 1, a first circular block 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the three first sliding rods 4, and a rectangular block 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the three first sliding rods 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the purpose of setting the first circular block 5 is to ensure that the disk 2 is in close contact with the main body 1, to prevent the disk 2 from separating from the main body 1 excessively, and thus to avoid affecting the operation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the main body 1 has three grooves 7 equidistantly arranged in a circular array. Each of the three grooves 7 has a second circular block 8 slidably connected to it. Each of the three second circular blocks 8 has a second sliding rod 9 fixedly connected to one end. The corresponding second sliding rod 9 is connected to the corresponding rectangular block 6. Each of the three rectangular blocks 6 has an arc-shaped clamping block 10 fixedly connected to it.

[0027] In this embodiment, in practical application, the operator first rotates the disc 2 according to the size of the glass test tube. The rotation of the disc 2 causes the first sliding rod 4 to slide from the inside to the outside within the curved groove 3. Simultaneously, the rectangular block 6 connected to the first sliding rod 4 moves upward within the groove 7, causing the three rectangular blocks 6 to unfold outward with the center of the main body 1 as a reference. Subsequently, the operator tightly engages the arc-shaped clamping block 10 on the rectangular block 6 with the glass test tube, creating conditions for subsequent work.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the disk 2, and a hole 12 is provided in the limiting block 11. Threaded holes 13 are provided at equal intervals in a circular array on the main body 1, and the threaded holes 13 are used in conjunction with the hole 12.

[0029] In this embodiment: after the disc 2 is rotated to the desired position, the operator can use a bolt or other workpiece to pass through the hole 12 and rotate it into the threaded hole 13 in a threaded connection manner, thereby fixing the disc 2.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body 1, a threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 14, a smooth rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 14, a first motor 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 14, the output end of the first motor 17 is connected to the threaded rod 15, a sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the smooth rod 16, the sliding block 18 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15, and a third circular block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the smooth rod 16 and the threaded rod 15.

[0031] In this embodiment, during actual operation, the operator can drive the first motor 17 to rotate the threaded rod 15, and through the threaded connection, drive the sliding block 18 to move up and down within the range of the smooth rod 16. The purpose of setting the third circular block 21 is to prevent the sliding block 18 from excessively separating from the smooth rod 16 and the threaded rod 15, thereby avoiding any impact on operation.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a brush 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block 18 in a circular array at equal intervals, and three second motors 20 are fixedly connected to the sliding block 18 in a circular array at equal intervals, with the output end of the corresponding second motor 20 connected to the corresponding brush 19.

[0033] In this embodiment: when the sliding block 18 moves up and down within the range of the light rod 16, it synchronously drives the second motor 20 to rotate the brush 19, thereby effectively removing water vapor from the inner wall of the glass test tube.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a glass tube 22 is placed below the main body 1, and the glass tube 22 is slidably connected to three arc-shaped clamps 10. A fan 23 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the main body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment: when the brush 19 rotates, the fan 23 is driven to operate synchronously to assist in accelerating the removal of moisture from the glass tube 22. The glass tube 22 is existing equipment and will not be described in detail here. The operator starts the first motor 17, the second motor 20, and the fan 23 via external control equipment to run the equipment; after production is completed, they can be turned off for easy operation and control.

[0036] Working principle: During use, the operator first rotates the disc 2 according to the size of the glass test tube. The rotation causes the first sliding rod 4 to slide from the inside to the outside within the curved groove 3. Simultaneously, the rectangular block 6 connected to the first sliding rod 4 moves upward within the groove 7, causing the three rectangular blocks 6 to expand outwards around the center of the main body 1. Then, the operator tightly engages the arc-shaped clamping block 10 on the rectangular block 6 with the glass test tube. Once the disc 2 is rotated to a position suitable for the glass tube 22, the operator can use bolts or other workpieces to pass through the hole 12 and rotate them into the threaded hole 13 via a threaded connection, thereby fixing the disc 2.

[0037] Next, by driving the first motor 17, the threaded rod 15 is rotated, which in turn drives the sliding block 18 to move up and down within the range of the smooth rod 16 via the threaded connection. During this process, the second motor 20 is simultaneously driven to rotate the brush 19, efficiently removing moisture from the inner wall of the glass test tube. As the brush 19 rotates, the fan 23 is driven to operate synchronously, using the generated airflow to dry the moisture and further accelerate the cleaning of water from the glass tube 22. This operation effectively prevents fogging from forming on the inner wall of unused glass tubes 22, meeting experimental requirements.

[0038] After the glass tube 22 has undergone the experimental heating process, moisture will remain on its inner wall. Repeating the above steps will thoroughly remove this moisture. It should be noted that this application requires the use of a controller or other components with control effects in actual use. Since these are known technologies and not within the scope of protection of this application, they are not shown in this application.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
