[0003] In the laboratory, some samples need to be stored with the cover due to air humidity or light requirements, and the cover needs to be opened when the sample is taken out. The sealing requirement of the flip cap test tube is relatively strict, and a plug matched with the test tube body is arranged on the test tube cover. The plug is usually in interference fit with the inner wall of the opening of the test tube body, so as to improve the sealing performance. This will cause the flip cap test tube to need a large force to open, and when the interference fit state is broken, the test tube cover can be easily opened with a small force.

[0004] In the related art, when the experimenter needs to open the covers of a plurality of flip cap test tubes in a test tube rack, the covers are usually opened one by one, and the covers are usually closed one by one when closing, so the opening and closing efficiency is low.

[0062] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cover opening and closing device is provided, comprising a fixing frame, a first driving assembly and a second driving assembly.

[0065] The fixed frame is adapted to place a row of the lidded containers 12, and each lidded container 12 comprises a body 122 and a lid 121, the lid 121 is provided with a sealing plug 123 which is adapted to be in interference fit with the inner wall of the body 122, a first side of the lid 121 is hinged to the body 122, and a second side of the lid 121 protrudes from the outer wall of the body 122; the first driving assembly comprises a first driving rod 131 which is adapted to be arranged below the second side of the lid 121 of the row of the lidded containers 12 and abut against the lid 121, and when the first driving rod 131 is driven to rotate upward, each lid 121 is driven to open; the second driving assembly comprises a pressing wheel 24 which is movably arranged above the fixed frame, and when the pressing wheel 24 moves above each lid 121 towards the second side, the pressing wheel 24 is adapted to drive the lid 121 to rotate and make the sealing plug 123 embedded into the body 122.

[0066] In this embodiment, the fixed frame can place a row of the lidded containers 12, when it is needed to open the lids of the row of the lidded containers 12, the first driving rod 131 is rotated upward, the first driving rod 131 abuts against the lid 121 of the lidded container 12, thus the lid 121 can be lifted upward to make the sealing plug 123 disengage from the interference fit with the body 122, so as to open the lid 121. When it is needed to close the lids, the pressing wheel 24 moves above each lid 121 towards the second side to apply pressure to the lid 121, drive the lid 121 to rotate and make the sealing plug 123 embedded into the body 122, so as to seal the lid 121 on the body 122. Therefore, the opening and closing device can simultaneously open and close the lids of a row of the lidded containers 12, and the opening and closing efficiency is high. In addition, the first driving rod 131 only abuts against the lid 121 of the lidded container 12, and the two do not need to be fixedly connected together, thus the structure of the existing lidded container 12 does not need to be adjusted, and the opening and closing device can be applied to various lidded containers 12.

[0067] Specifically, the lid 121 of the lidded container 12 has a closed state and an open state, when the lids 121 of the row of the lidded containers 12 are in the closed state, the pressing wheel 24 is located above the lid 121 to apply downward pressure to the lid 121, and the first driving rod 131 is located below the second side of the lid 121. When it is needed to open the lids, the pressing wheel 24 moves away from the second side, and no longer presses the lid 121, and the first driving rod 131 is rotated upward, the first driving rod 131 lifts the lid 121 upward to make the sealing plug 123 disengage from the interference fit with the body 122, so as to open the lid 121 to the open state. When it is needed to close the lids, the pressing wheel 24 moves above each lid 121 towards the second side to apply pressure to the lid 121, drive the lid 121 to rotate and make the sealing plug 123 embedded into the body 122, and the lid 121 will press the first driving rod 131 in the process of rotating, so as to simultaneously rotate the first driving rod 131, until the lid 121 is in the closed state.

[0068] In detail, the cover-connected container 12 can be a cover-connected tube, a cover-connected bottle, etc.

[0069] In an embodiment, the second driving assembly comprises a power mechanism, which drives the pressing wheel 24 to move away from above each cover body 121 and drives the first driving rod 131 to rotate upward.

[0070] In this embodiment, the power mechanism drives the pressing wheel 24 to move away from above each cover body and drives the first driving rod 131 to rotate upward, and the opening and closing of the cover can be achieved by one power mechanism, which is simple in structure, low in cost and convenient to maintain.

[0071] In an embodiment, the first driving assembly further comprises a second driving rod 132 connected with the first driving rod 131, and the second driving rod 132 is hinged with the fixed frame through a hinge shaft, and the axis of the hinge shaft is collinear with the rotation axis of the cover body 121.

[0073] In detail, the second driving rod 132 is connected with the end of the first driving rod 131.

[0074] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the second driving rod 132 can not be connected with the end of the first driving rod 131, but connected with the first driving rod 131 near the end.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the driving motor 231 rotates in the first direction, the sliding plate 21 can be driven to slide in the direction away from the cover body 121 through the first transmission structure, so that the pressing wheels 24 can not be pressed on the cover body 121 to cause the cover body 121 to be unable to be opened, and when the driving motor 231 rotates in the second direction, the sliding plate 21 can be driven to slide in the direction close to the cover body 121 through the first transmission structure, so that the pressing wheels 24 can be gradually pressed on the cover body 121 and drive the cover body 121 to rotate, and thus the closing of the cover body 121 can be realized.

[0087] In an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the slide plate 21 can be driven to move by a pneumatic cylinder.

When the driving motor 231 rotates in the second direction, the sliding plate 21 is driven to slide toward the cover body 121 through the first connecting rod 232 and the second connecting rod 233, the pressing wheel 24 moves and rotates relative to the cover body 121, thereby exerting pressure on the cover body 121, which drives the cover body 121 to rotate and the sealing plug 123 to be embedded into the body 122. The cover body 121 will press the first driving rod 131 during the rotation, so that the first driving rod 131 is simultaneously rotated until the cover body 121 is closed.

[0098] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first direction refers to the counterclockwise direction and the second direction refers to the clockwise direction.

[0099] In one embodiment, the contact position of the pressing roller 235 with the second driving rod 132 is close to the end of the second driving rod 132 away from the first driving rod 131.

The whole cover opening process does not need to be manually operated by the user.

[0108] In one embodiment, the torsional spring 15 is sleeved on the hinged shaft, the first end of the torsional spring 15 is fixed to the fixed frame, and the second end of the torsional spring 15 is fixed to the second driving rod 132.

[0109] In one embodiment, the preset position refers to the vertical position or the position close to the vertical position.

[0110] In one embodiment, the fixed frame includes the base 3, the support table 4, and the pipe frame 11. The support table 4 is fixed to the base 3, and the second driving assembly is arranged on the support table 4. The pipe frame 11 is provided with a plurality of placement positions for placing the cover-connected container 12.

[0112] In one embodiment, the base 3 is provided with the positioning portion 31, and the pipe frame 11 is detachably connected with the positioning portion 31.

[0113] In this embodiment, the positioning portion 31 can position the installation of the pipe frame 11, so that the pipe frame 11 can be fixed.

[0114] In one embodiment, the positioning portion 31 is a boss.

[0115] In one embodiment, the placement position is provided with an opening on the side away from the support table 4.

[0116] In this embodiment, the opening is arranged on the side of the placing position away from the support table 4, and one side of the continuous cover container 12 is exposed outside through the opening. The magnet is tightly attached to the body 122 by using the external moving device to prevent the loss of magnetic force, so as to adsorb the sample containing the magnetic beads.

[0117] In one embodiment, the tube rack 11 is provided with a heater and a temperature sensor, and the opening and closing device further comprises a controller which is in communication connection with the heater and the temperature sensor.

[0120] In this embodiment, the connection position of the hinged support 14 and the tube rack 11 is adjustable, so that the continuous cover container 12 of different models can be applied.

[0121] In one embodiment, the hinged support 14 can slide relative to the tube rack 11, and after the position is adjusted, the hinged support 14 is fixed to the tube rack 11 by a threaded fastener.

[0122] In this embodiment, when the cover is opened, the driving motor 231 drives the two first connecting rods 232 to move the two second connecting rods 233, and the two second connecting rods 233 drive the sliding plate 21 to move along the slide rail 22 away from the cover body 121. At the same time, the third connecting rod 234 drives the second driving rod 132 to rotate through the pressing roller 235. When the pressing wheel 24 moves away from the cover body 121, the second driving rod 132 rotates and forms a larger lever force through the hinged shaft connected with the hinged support 14, so as to drive the sealing plug 123 of the cover body 121 to be pulled out of the body 122. After being pulled out, the interference force is released, and under the action of the torsional spring 15, the second driving rod 132 rotates to the preset position to complete the opening of the cover. After the cover is opened, the solution can be added to the body 122 or the solution in the body 122 can be sucked. When the cover is closed, the driving motor 231 drives the two first connecting rods 232 to move the two second connecting rods 233, and the two second connecting rods 233 drive the sliding plate 21 to move along the slide rail 22 to approach the cover body 121. When the pressing wheel 24 moves above the cover body 121, a row of cover bodies 121 are pressed and rotated by the pressing wheel 24, so that the sealing plug 123 on the cover body 121 is reinserted into the body 122. In the process of pressing the cover body 121, the pressing wheel 24 drives the first driving rod 131 to rotate, and the first driving rod 131 and the second driving rod 132 are re-rotated to the position before the cover is opened, waiting to be opened again.
