[0066] See also Figure 1 In the prior art, the circular bottle mouth 220 is held against the jig, which maintains the position of the liquid container 200 only by providing a groove 270 on the bottle mouth 220 that matches the shape of the top rubber plug 250. Since the restraining force on the liquid container 200 is provided only by the groove 270, the liquid container 200 is not firmly fixed.

[0067] See also Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid processing tool 100 for holding a liquid container 200. The liquid processing tool 100 includes:

[0068] A mounting plate 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11 for accommodating a liquid container 200;

[0069] The cover plate 12 includes a positioning end 121 and a free end 122. The positioning end 121 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 10. The cover plate 12 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the mounting groove 11. The cover plate 12 covers the mounting groove 11 after being turned over.

[0070] The fixing portion 13 is disposed on the mounting plate 10 , and the free end 122 of the cover plate 12 is detachably connected to the fixing portion 13 .

[0071] It should be explained that the liquid container 200 includes a hollow cylindrical bottle body 210, which contains a liquid to be treated 230 and is sealed by a rubber cover 240. A circular bottle mouth 220 with a diameter larger than that of the bottle body 210 is provided at the mouth of the container, and a top rubber plug 250 is provided at the top of the circular bottle mouth 220.

[0072] In this embodiment, a reversible cover plate 12 is installed on top of the mounting plate 10, and the cover plate 12 is positioned and unlocked via a removable fixing portion 13. To accommodate a wider range of liquid containers 200, the mounting slot 11 has a cross-section that includes, but is not limited to, a circular shape. The cover plate 12 includes, but is not limited to, a circular shape, so as to cover the entire mounting slot 11. This fully covered cover plate 12 ensures a more uniform force distribution on the liquid container 200 and prevents splashing in the event of liquid leakage due to damage or other reasons.

[0073] During use, the liquid container 200 is passed through the mounting groove 11 and fixed to the mounting plate 10. The cover plate 12 is flipped over to cover the mounting groove 11, and then fixed via the fixing portion 13. The cover plate 12 exerts a restraining force on the liquid container 200 through the top rubber plug 250, thereby more firmly positioning the liquid container 200. The arrangement of the cover plate 12 and the fixing portion 13 has the effect of firmly fixing the liquid container 200.

[0074] In one embodiment, the liquid processing fixture 100 may further include a supporting member 14 . The liquid container 200 includes a bottle body 210 and a top rubber plug 250 disposed on the top of the bottle body 210 . The supporting member 14 is sleeved on the outside of the bottle body 210 and disposed below the top rubber plug 250 .

[0075] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the abutting member 14 can include a series of abutting members 14 of different specifications to accommodate liquid containers 200 of different specifications. The abutting member 14 is sleeved in the middle of the liquid container 200, and the side of the abutting member 14 tightly abuts against the periphery of the mounting groove 11 to further secure the mounting plate 10 to the liquid container 200.

[0076] In one embodiment, the resisting member 14 may include a sleeve portion 141 and a positioning portion 142 . The sleeve portion 141 is sleeved on the bottle body 210 and disposed in the mounting groove 11 , and the positioning portion 142 is connected to the sleeve portion 141 .

[0077] It should be explained that the sleeve portion 141 fits tightly against the outer ring around the bottle body 210, and is then arranged in the mounting groove 11, fitting against the side of the mounting plate 10 adjacent to the mounting groove 11. The positioning portion 142 can be provided at the top of the sleeve portion 141, extending radially outward along the sleeve portion 141 to achieve a positioning function. The positioning portion 142 is provided to further securely position the liquid container 200. The material of the abutment 14 includes a flexible material having certain deformation properties. The sleeve portion 141 and the positioning portion 142 can be integrally formed, such as by injection molding, blow molding, pressing, or other molding methods.

[0078] In one embodiment, the mounting slot 11 may include a first slot 111, a second slot 112, and a third slot 113, which are sequentially arranged. Figure 2 From the perspective shown, the horizontal cross-sectional areas of the first, second, and third grooves 111, 112, and 113 increase in order. The first groove 111 accommodates the positioning portion 142. A first step surface 114 is provided between the first and second grooves 111, 112. The first step surface 114 abuts against the positioning portion 142 of the abutting member 14. The second groove 112 is located between the first and third grooves 111, 113. A second step surface 115 is provided between the second and third grooves 112, 113. The second step surface 115 abuts against the top rubber plug 250. The third groove 113 is used to accommodate the top rubber plug 250.

[0079] It should be noted that the first groove 111, the second groove 112, and the third groove 113 include, but are not limited to, cylindrical shapes, with their diameters increasing in sequence. The first groove 111 is located at the bottom of the mounting groove 11, and accommodates the sleeve portion 141 of the abutting member 14 and the bottle body 210 from the outside inward. The second groove 112 is located immediately above the first groove 111 and has a larger diameter than the first groove 111. A first step surface 114 is formed between the second groove 111 and the first groove 111. The first step surface 114 abuts against the positioning portion 142 of the abutting member 14, thereby indirectly positioning the liquid container 200. The third groove 113 is located above the second groove 112 and has a larger diameter than the second groove 112. A second step surface 115 is formed between the third groove 113 and the second groove 112. The second step surface 115 abuts against the bottom of the top rubber plug 250. In other words, the second step surface 115 applies an upward force to the bottle mouth 220 through the top rubber plug 250 to maintain the position of the liquid container 200. By providing multiple slots, the mounting plate 10 can securely position the liquid container 200, preventing the liquid container 200 from falling out.

[0080] In one embodiment, the baffle 20 and the elastic component 30 are further included. The elastic component 30 connects the baffle 20 and the mounting plate 10 , and the baffle 20 can move within a certain range.

[0081] It should be noted that when the liquid container 200 is inserted through and mounted on the mounting plate 10, the bottom of the liquid container 200 can abut against the baffle 20. At this time, the elastic component 30 is in a stretched state, applying a force to the bottom of the liquid container 200 through the baffle 20, and a force to the top of the liquid container 200 through the cover plate 12, thereby further positioning the liquid container 200. The elastic component 30 includes, but is not limited to, a spring. A bottom rubber plug 260 can be provided at the bottom of the liquid container 200 to buffer the force between the liquid container 200 and the baffle 20.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first end 31 of the elastic member 30 is connected to the periphery of the baffle 20 , and the second end 32 of the elastic member 30 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 10 .

[0083] It should be noted that one end of the elastic member 30 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 10, around the periphery of the mounting groove 11, and the other end is connected to the periphery of the baffle 20. Multiple elastic members 30 may be provided, symmetrically distributed around the periphery of the baffle 20, to ensure uniform force on the baffle 20, and thus uniform force and stable positioning of the liquid container 200.

[0084] In one embodiment, the fixing portion 13 includes a first portion 131 and a second portion 132 . The first portion 131 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 10 . The second portion 132 is connected to the first portion 131 . The second portion 132 is used to abut against the free end 122 of the cover plate 12 .

[0085] It should be noted that the first portion 131 may be a screw, and a screw hole may be provided on the mounting plate 10 to engage with the screw. The first portion 131 may pass through the cover plate 12 so that the second portion 132 completely contacts the cover plate 12 to thereby restrict the cover plate 12. Alternatively, the first portion 131 may not pass through the cover plate 12, and the second portion 132 may partially contact the cover plate 12 to thereby restrict the cover plate 12. The fixing portion 13 is divided into the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 so that the cover plate 12 can be stably positioned when closed and prevented from being ejected by the liquid container 200.

[0086] In one embodiment, the cover 12 is provided with a positioning hole, and the first portion 131 is disposed within the positioning hole. The positioning hole can be the aforementioned screw hole. The positioning hole is provided on the cover 12 so that the first portion 131 can pass through the positioning hole and the second portion 132 can fully contact and abut the cover 12, thereby achieving a secure closure of the cover 12.

[0087] See also Figure 3 The present application also provides a liquid processing device 300, including a body 310, a top cover 320, a power device 330, a rotating part 340 and the above liquid processing fixture 100, the power device 330 drives the rotating part 340 to rotate in the body 310.

[0088] It should be noted that the rotating unit 340 is disposed within the housing 310, and multiple liquid treatment fixtures 100 can be evenly arranged around the periphery of the rotating unit 340. During use, the liquid container 200 is mounted on the liquid treatment fixture 100, and the top cover 320 is closed to seal the interior of the liquid treatment apparatus 300. The power unit 330 is activated, driving the rotating unit 340 to begin rotating around its center of rotation, thereby centrifugally treating the liquid.

[0089] In one embodiment, the liquid processing tool 100 is tilted in the body 310 , with the bottom of the liquid processing tool 100 facing the circumference and the top of the liquid processing tool 100 facing the rotation center.

[0090] It should be explained that the liquid processing fixture 100 is tilted so that when the liquid processing equipment 300 centrifuges the liquid, its centrifugal direction is stably directed to the bottom of the liquid container 200, thereby improving the quality of processes such as degassing and improving the results of liquid processing.
