- the same members as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
- the first and second electrode unit units 11 and 12B are the flow lines of the sample probe 22 for dispensing the sample from the sample container 52 containing the sample to the electrode units 11 and 12B (accurately). Is arranged so that the dilution tanks 23a and 23b are located along the flow line of the probe portion 22b). Further, in the first and second electrode unit units 11 and 12B, the ion-selective electrode groups 24a and 24c and the comparative electrodes 24b and 24d are located below the moving range of the sample probe 22 (that is, the operating range of the cover unit 22a). Is also arranged so as to be located on the outside. Further, the first electrode unit 11 is located closest to the sample container 52 (the position of the probe portion 22b of the sample probe 22 at the position 22A), and the second electrode unit 12B is located farthest from the sample container 52. Each is arranged.
- the second electrode unit 12B is a detachably arranged diluting unit having an opening provided for the probe unit 22c to descend to the diluting tank 23b above the diluting tank 23b below the operating range of the sample probe 22.
- the ion-selective electrode group 24c and the ion-selective electrode group 24c are detachably arranged so as to cover the upper part of the ion-selective electrode group 24c and the comparison electrode 24d in a range not below the operating range of the tank cover 28 (first cover) and the sample probe 22. It has a cover 29 (second cover).
- the ion-selective electrode group cover 29 has a solenoid lock receiver 29a similar to the ion-selective electrode group cover 26. Further, the second electrode unit 12B has the same solenoid lock mechanism 12a as the first electrode unit 11. That is, the solenoid lock mechanism 12a and the solenoid lock receiver 29a form an interlock capable of fixing the ion-selective electrode group cover 29 (second cover) to the second electrode unit 12B.
- the ion-selective electrode group cover mounting sensor that detects that the ion-selective electrode group cover 29 is normally mounted on the second electrode unit 12B is mounted on the second electrode unit 12B.
- 12c and a lock mechanism operation detection sensor 12b for detecting that the solenoid lock mechanism 12a is operating (locked state) are provided.
- first electrode unit 11 can be stopped and the second electrode unit 12B can continue to operate as in the first embodiment.
- the measurement process cannot be performed during the replacement of the ion-selective electrode group 24c, but the sample is dispensed into the diluting tank 23b and the sample is diluted / stirred in the diluting tank 23b. Can be continued. Further, in the same procedure as the procedure for removing the second cover 26 of the first electrode unit shown in the first embodiment, the second cover 29 of the second electrode unit is placed below the probe portion 22b. Is not placed and does not interfere, so it can be removed independently.
- the second covers 26 and 29 are removable in the first electrode unit 11 and the second electrode unit 12B has been described as an example.
- the second covers 26 and 29 may be connected to the first electrode unit 11 and the second electrode unit 12B via a hinge mechanism or the like so as to be openable and closable.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, three or more electrode unit units are provided and the sample container 52 is provided.
- the electrode unit located closest to the sample container 52 has a first cover and a second cover, and the electrode unit located farthest from the sample container 52 has a third cover. It may be configured.
- the ion-selective electrode group cover mounting sensor 11c and the lock mechanism operation detection sensor 11b are mechanical sensors
- the present invention is not limited to this, for example.
- a laser type sensor or a sensor that makes a determination based on a camera image may be used.
- the sensor function of the ion-selective electrode group mounting unit 124a and the ion-selective electrode group cover mounting sensor 11c determine whether or not the replacement of the ion-selective electrode group is completed.
- the case where the replacement is performed based on the detection result of the above has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be determined that the replacement of the sex electrode group is completed. However, even in this case as well, it is determined whether or not the ion-selective electrode group has been normally replaced based on the sensor function of the ion-selective electrode group mounting unit 124a and the detection result of the ion-selective electrode group cover mounting sensor 11c. Is preferable. Further, the operator may read an individual identification marker such as a bar code provided on the ion-selective electrode group to confirm that the electrode has been replaced with a new ion-selective electrode. good.
- the present invention is not limited to the one including all the configurations described in the above-described embodiment, and includes the one in which a part of the configurations is deleted. Further, each of the above configurations, functions and the like may be realized by designing a part or all of them by, for example, an integrated circuit. Further, each of the above configurations, functions, and the like may be realized by software by the processor interpreting and executing a program that realizes each function.
