Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は液体分析計用セルに関し、例えば、みかんやグレープフルーツなどの柑橘類をはじめとする果汁の酸度やその他の酸度を、希釈した試料の導電率から測定する酸度計等において用いられる測定セルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液体分析計としての例えば酸糖度分析装置では、その筐体内に、糖度計と糖度計の上流に位置する酸度計とが収容されている。そして、みかんやグレープフルーツなどの柑橘類をはじめとする果汁を試料とし、この試料を注入器で糖度計の測定セルに注入することにより試料の屈折率から糖度の測定が行われ、この測定後、前記試料に希釈水を加えたものを前記酸度計の測定セルに送り込むことにより希釈した試料の導電率から酸度の測定が行われる。
【0003】
この酸度の測定に用いる測定セル70には、図7、図8に示すように、試料を収容する収容室71の側方開口72が正面視円形に形成され、この開口72の外周に環状溝73が形成されている。そして、前記側方開口72を、環状溝73に嵌め込まれたOリング74でシールした状態でセル蓋75にて被覆するとともに、嵌め込まれた前記Oリング74をガイドするOリング用ガイド76を環状溝73の内側に全周にわたり設けている。なお、所定の希釈された試料を得て、この試料の導電率を測定するのに、測定セル70には、液導入部77と、測定後、電磁弁の開弁により試料を排出する排出部78と、収容室71内の試料をモータMの駆動で攪拌する攪拌羽根79を挿入するための挿入部80と、液面検知センサ挿入部81と、オーバーフロー槽に接続されるオーバーフロー部82と、温度センサ挿入部83と、導電率センサ挿入部(図示せず)が設けられている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、測定後は、収容室71内の試料を、収容室71の底部の奥に形成した排液口84から自然落下で排液するけれども、測定セル70は例えば塩化ビニル等の樹脂成型品であるから収容室71の内部の表面がザラツキを有することと、側方開口72をセル蓋75にて被覆した際に、環状溝73の内側に全周にわたり設けたOリング用ガイド76の下部分76aがひっかかりとなって液(試料の残存液)Sの表面張力が起こる(図6参照)ことが原因で、収容室71内に、例えば平均0.3〜0.4ミリリットルもの試料の液溜まりが発生していた。そのため、コンタミ影響によって、偶発的に指示値の繰り返し性が悪くなる傾向があった。
【0005】
この発明は、上述の事柄に留意してなされたもので、その目的は、試料を収容する収容室の内部における排液後の液溜まりを低減できる液体分析計用セルを提供することである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、この発明は、試料を収容する収容室の側方開口を、この開口の外周に形成した環状溝に嵌め込まれたOリングでシールした状態でセル蓋にて被覆するとともに、嵌め込まれた前記OリングをガイドするOリング用ガイドを設けた液体分析計用セルにおいて、前記Oリング用ガイドの下部をカットして弧形状とし、更に、収容室の内部表面を研磨してある。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
発明の実施の形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1〜図4は、この発明の一実施形態を示す。この実施形態では、酸糖度分析装置内に収容されている酸度計の測定セルについて説明する。
【0008】
図1〜図4において、1は酸度計Aの測定セルで、例えば塩化ビニル等の透明な樹脂成型品であるセル本体30と、同じく塩化ビニル等の透明な樹脂成型品であるセル蓋6と、試料(みかんやグレープフルーツなどの柑橘類をはじめとする果汁を水で希釈したもの)の攪拌部31とで構成される。前記セル本体30は、試料を収容する収容室2を有している。この収容室2の側方開口3は正面視円形に形成されており、この開口3の外周に環状溝4が形成されている。そして、前記側方開口3を、環状溝4に嵌め込まれたOリング5でシールした状態でセル蓋6(例えば塩化ビニル等の透明な樹脂成型品)にて被覆するとともに、嵌め込まれたOリング5をガイドするOリング用ガイド7を環状溝4の内側に設けている。
【0009】
この発明では、排液後における液溜まりを低減するために2つの手段を講じている。その1つは、Oリング用ガイド7の下部、すなわち、従来のOリング用ガイド76の下部分76aをカットして弧形状としている点である。つまり、Oリング用ガイド7は、液の表面張力の発生を防ぐために例えば図8に示した従来のOリング用ガイド76の1/3程度をカットして弧形状としたものである。このように、液の表面張力を発生するひっかかり部分をなくしたので、排液後は、図6に示した従来のような液Sの表面張力はなくなり、図4に示す状態となって液溜りが解消される。
【0010】
なお、酸糖度分析装置では、図5に示すように、その筐体8内に、糖度計Bと糖度計Bの下流に位置する酸度計Aとが収容されている。そして、試料を注入器で糖度計Bの測定セルに注入することにより試料の屈折率から糖度の測定が行われる。この場合、オーバーフロー槽18に接続するバルブ40が酸度計Aと糖度計B間に設けられており、注入器により試料がオーバフロー槽18にまで至る例えば5ミリリットル程度の一回のサンプル注入により糖度測定が行われ、この測定後はバルブ40を切換モータM1 で切り換えてバルブ40で計量された試料に希釈水タンク9からの希釈水を加えたものを酸度計Aの測定セル1に送り込むことにより希釈した試料の導電率から酸度の測定が行われる。
【0011】
この場合、所定の希釈された試料を得て、この試料の導電率を測定するのに、測定セル1のセル本体30には、液導入部10と、測定後、例えばピンチバルブ11の開弁により測定後の試料を収容室2の底部Gの奥に形成した排液口13aから排出する、例えばシリコンパイプ12が接続される排出部13と、収容室2内の試料をモータM2 の駆動で攪拌する攪拌羽根14を挿入するための挿入部15と、液面検知センサ16のセンサ挿入部17と、オーバーフロー槽18(図5参照)に接続されるオーバーフロー部19と、温度センサT2 のセンサ挿入部20と、導電率センサ21のセンサ挿入部22と、セル本体30を前記筐体8内のシャーシ23(図2参照)に上向きかげんに固定するためビス24が挿入されるビス穴25と、セル蓋6を側方開口3を被覆する状態で固定するためビス26が挿入されるビス穴27とが設けられている。なお、測定後の試料の排液は、収容室2の底部Gの奥に形成した前記排液口13aから自然落下で行われるものであるが、この排液を効率よく行うために、セル本体30の下面Vとシャーシ23の固定面Wとのなす角度θが90°より僅かに大になるようセル本体30の側方開口3に対向する面Fが傾斜形成されている。
【0012】
また、攪拌部31は、モータM2 取り付け板35に設けた長孔33とビス34によって上下移動可能にシャーシ23に固定されており、収容室2内部の洗浄・拭き取りの際には、攪拌羽根14を収容室2内から攪拌羽根挿入部15を介して取り出せる。
【0013】
次に、排液時における液溜まりを低減する2つ目の手段は、収容室3の内部表面のザラツキに対して、例えばゲル状のアクリル研磨剤を使用し、研磨布による収容室3の内部表面の研磨を施している点である。
【0014】
而して、この発明では、収容室3の内部表面のザラツキに対して、例えばゲル状のアクリル研磨剤を使用し、研磨布により、収容室3の内部表面を例えば約10分間研磨を行った。その結果、研磨前5μm以上あったものが、研磨後3μm以下となり、すべりを良くした。更に、この発明では、Oリング用ガイド7の下部をカットして弧形状としたので、液の表面張力を発生するひっかかりをなくした。
【0015】
このため、自然落下による13aからの排液後において、従来収容室71内に、例えば平均0.3〜0.4ミリリットルもの試料の液溜まりが発生していたが、この発明では、収容室2内の試料の液溜まりを例えば平均0.05ミリリットル以下に低減できた。
【0016】
例えばみかんの果汁にKClを14グラム入れ、水で希釈して酸度を5wt%付近に調製したものを試料とした場合、従来の酸度計の測定セル70では、下記表1に示すように、高濃度側(5wt%)付近での十回の連続測定における指示値が偶発的にずれる傾向があり、ずれの誤差(%)は、−2%であったのに対し、この発明の酸度計の測定セル10では、下記表1に示すように、高濃度側(5wt%)付近での十回の連続測定における指示値にずれが生じなくなった。つまり、この発明では、ずれの誤差(%)は0%にできた。

【発明の効果】
上述のように、Oリング用ガイドの下部をカットして弧形状とし、更に、収容室の内部表面を研磨してあるので、排液後における収容室内の試料の液溜まりを低減できる。すなわち、液溜まりが発生し、コンタミ影響を受けることで、偶発的に指示値の繰り返し性が悪くなる傾向があった従来の問題点を解消できる。

[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in an acid sugar content analyzer as a liquid analyzer, a sugar content meter and an acid content meter located upstream of the sugar content meter are accommodated in the casing. And, by using fruit juice including citrus fruits such as mandarin orange and grapefruit as a sample, the sugar content is measured from the refractive index of the sample by injecting this sample into the measurement cell of the saccharimeter with an injector. The acidity is measured from the conductivity of the diluted sample by feeding the sample with dilution water into the measurement cell of the acidometer.
[0003]
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a side opening 72 of a storage chamber 71 for storing a sample is formed in a circular shape in front view in the measurement cell 70 used for measuring the acidity, and an annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the opening 72. 73 is formed. The side opening 72 is covered with a cell lid 75 while being sealed with an O-ring 74 fitted in an annular groove 73, and an O-ring guide 76 for guiding the fitted O-ring 74 is annular. The groove 73 is provided over the entire circumference. In addition, in order to obtain a predetermined diluted sample and measure the conductivity of this sample, the measurement cell 70 has a liquid introduction part 77 and a discharge part for discharging the sample by opening the solenoid valve after the measurement. 78, an insertion portion 80 for inserting a stirring blade 79 for stirring the sample in the storage chamber 71 by driving the motor M, a liquid level detection sensor insertion portion 81, an overflow portion 82 connected to the overflow tank, A temperature sensor insertion portion 83 and a conductivity sensor insertion portion (not shown) are provided.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, after the measurement, the sample in the storage chamber 71 is naturally dropped from a drain port 84 formed in the back of the bottom of the storage chamber 71, but the measurement cell 70 is a resin molded product such as vinyl chloride. Therefore, the inner surface of the storage chamber 71 has a rough surface, and when the side opening 72 is covered with the cell lid 75, the lower portion of the O-ring guide 76 provided over the entire circumference inside the annular groove 73. Due to the occurrence of the surface tension of the liquid S (residual liquid of the sample) S (see FIG. 6) due to the trap 76a, for example, an average liquid pool of 0.3 to 0.4 milliliters of sample is stored in the storage chamber 71. Had occurred. For this reason, the repeatability of the indicated value tends to deteriorate accidentally due to contamination.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described matters, and an object thereof is to provide a cell for a liquid analyzer that can reduce a liquid pool after drainage inside a storage chamber that stores a sample.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention covers a side opening of a storage chamber for storing a sample with a cell lid while being sealed with an O-ring fitted in an annular groove formed on the outer periphery of the opening. In the liquid analyzer cell provided with the O-ring guide for guiding the inserted O-ring, the lower part of the O-ring guide is cut into an arc shape, and the inner surface of the storage chamber is polished. is there.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a measurement cell of an acidity meter accommodated in the acid sugar content analyzer will be described.
[0008]
1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a measurement cell of the acidometer A, for example, a cell body 30 which is a transparent resin molded product such as vinyl chloride, and a cell lid 6 which is also a transparent resin molded product such as vinyl chloride. And a stirring portion 31 of a sample (a fruit juice including citrus fruits such as mandarin oranges and grapefruits diluted with water). The cell body 30 has a storage chamber 2 for storing a sample. The side opening 3 of the storage chamber 2 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the front, and an annular groove 4 is formed on the outer periphery of the opening 3. Then, the side opening 3 is covered with a cell lid 6 (for example, a transparent resin molded product such as vinyl chloride) in a state of being sealed with an O-ring 5 fitted in the annular groove 4, and the fitted O-ring. An O-ring guide 7 for guiding 5 is provided inside the annular groove 4.
[0009]
In the present invention, two measures are taken in order to reduce the liquid pool after draining. One of them is that the lower portion 76a of the O-ring guide 7, that is, the lower portion 76a of the conventional O-ring guide 76 is cut into an arc shape. That is, the O-ring guide 7 is formed in an arc shape by cutting, for example, about 1/3 of the conventional O-ring guide 76 shown in FIG. 8 in order to prevent generation of surface tension of the liquid. As described above, since the catching portion that generates the surface tension of the liquid is eliminated, the surface tension of the liquid S as shown in FIG. 6 disappears after draining, and the liquid pool becomes in the state shown in FIG. Is resolved.
[0010]
In the acid sugar content analyzer, as shown in FIG. 5, a sugar meter B and an acid meter A located downstream of the sugar meter B are accommodated in the housing 8. Then, the sugar content is measured from the refractive index of the sample by injecting the sample into the measurement cell of the saccharimeter B with an injector. In this case, a valve 40 connected to the overflow tank 18 is provided between the acidity meter A and the saccharimeter B, and the sugar content is measured by a single sample injection of, for example, about 5 ml from the sample to the overflow tank 18 by the injector. After the measurement, the valve 40 is switched by the switching motor M 1 and the sample weighed by the valve 40 is added with the dilution water from the dilution water tank 9 and sent to the measurement cell 1 of the oximeter A. Acidity is measured from the conductivity of the diluted sample.
[0011]
In this case, in order to obtain a predetermined diluted sample and measure the conductivity of this sample, the cell main body 30 of the measurement cell 1 is provided with the liquid introduction part 10 and, for example, the pinch valve 11 is opened after the measurement. discharged from drain port 13a formed in the back of the bottom G of the storage chamber 2 of the sample after the measurement by, for example, the discharge portion 13 in which the silicon pipe 12 is connected, drive the sample receiving chamber 2 of the motor M 2 An insertion portion 15 for inserting a stirring blade 14 for stirring, a sensor insertion portion 17 of a liquid level detection sensor 16, an overflow portion 19 connected to an overflow tank 18 (see FIG. 5), and a temperature sensor T 2 . A screw hole 25 into which a screw 24 is inserted to fix the sensor insertion part 20, the sensor insertion part 22 of the conductivity sensor 21, and the cell body 30 to the chassis 23 (see FIG. 2) in the housing 8. And cell lid 6 A screw hole 27 into which a screw 26 is inserted is provided to fix the screw in a state of covering the side opening 3. In addition, although the drainage of the sample after a measurement is performed by natural fall from the said drainage port 13a formed in the back of the bottom part G of the storage chamber 2, in order to perform this drainage efficiently, a cell main body A surface F facing the side opening 3 of the cell body 30 is inclined so that an angle θ formed by the lower surface V of 30 and the fixing surface W of the chassis 23 is slightly larger than 90 °.
[0012]
The stirring unit 31 is fixed to the chassis 23 so as to be movable up and down by a long hole 33 and a screw 34 provided in the motor M 2 mounting plate 35. When cleaning and wiping the inside of the storage chamber 2, the stirring blade 31 is fixed. 14 can be taken out of the storage chamber 2 through the stirring blade insertion portion 15.
[0013]
Next, the second means for reducing the liquid pool during drainage is to use, for example, a gel-like acrylic abrasive against the roughness of the inner surface of the storage chamber 3, and the interior of the storage chamber 3 with a polishing cloth. This is the point where the surface is polished.
[0014]
Thus, in the present invention, for example, a gel-like acrylic abrasive is used for the roughness of the inner surface of the storage chamber 3, and the inner surface of the storage chamber 3 is polished for about 10 minutes, for example, with a polishing cloth. . As a result, what was 5 μm or more before polishing became 3 μm or less after polishing, and the sliding was improved. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the lower part of the O-ring guide 7 is cut into an arc shape, the occurrence of the surface tension of the liquid is eliminated.
[0015]
For this reason, after drainage from 13a due to natural fall, a liquid pool of, for example, an average of 0.3 to 0.4 milliliters of sample has been generated in the conventional storage chamber 71. In the present invention, however, the storage chamber 2 The liquid pool of the inner sample could be reduced to, for example, an average of 0.05 ml or less.
[0016]
For example, when 14 grams of KCl is added to orange juice and diluted with water to adjust the acidity to around 5 wt%, the conventional acidity meter measuring cell 70 has a high concentration as shown in Table 1 below. There is a tendency for the indicated value in ten continuous measurements near the concentration side (5 wt%) to shift accidentally, and the error (%) in deviation was −2%, whereas the acidity meter of the present invention In the measurement cell 10, as shown in Table 1 below, there was no deviation in the indicated value in ten consecutive measurements near the high concentration side (5 wt%). That is, in this invention, the deviation error (%) can be reduced to 0%.

[0018]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the lower portion of the O-ring guide is cut into an arc shape and the inner surface of the storage chamber is polished, so that the liquid pool of the sample in the storage chamber after draining can be reduced. That is, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that the liquid value is liable to occur and the repeatability of the indicated value is accidentally deteriorated due to the influence of contamination.
