[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tooling technology, and relates to a workbench, particularly to a workbench for separating extraction plate clamps. Background Technology

[0002] Extraction plates are disposable laboratory consumables, such as nucleic acid extraction plates. Currently, they are primarily made of polypropylene, which better withstands repeated high and low temperature settings during PCR reactions and allows for high-temperature, high-pressure sterilization. They are widely used in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, immunology, and medicine, not only for basic research such as gene isolation, cloning, and nucleic acid sequence analysis, but also for disease diagnosis or any application involving DNA or RNA.

[0027] This embodiment provides an extraction plate clamping separation workbench for separating the extraction plate; the extraction plate includes a body and a tube engaged within the body; the tube and the body are engaged at their joint by at least a pair of symmetrically arranged elastic buckles; the extraction plate clamping separation workbench includes:

[0028] Supporting the countertop;

[0029] An extraction plate support is installed in the central area of ​​the support platform, and its interior is configured as a hollow structure to accommodate the extraction plate.

[0030] The separation mechanism, corresponding to the paired elastic buckles, is movably mounted on the support platform. Upon receiving a separation command, it moves toward the extraction plate and unlocks the elastic buckles.

[0031] The controller is communicatively connected to the separation component and is used to output the separation command to control the separation mechanism.

[0032] The extraction plate clamping and separating worktable provided in this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The extraction plate clamping and separating worktable provided in this embodiment is used to separate the extraction plate. Please refer to... Figure 1 This is displayed as an example image of the extraction panel. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the extraction plate 1 includes a body 11 and a tube 12 that engages within the body 11. In practical applications, the tube 12 and the body 11 are engaged at their joint by at least a pair of symmetrically arranged elastic buckles 13 (in this embodiment, a pair of elastic buckles 13 are symmetrically arranged between the tube 12 and the body 11).

[0033] Please see Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2CThe figures shown are a three-dimensional structural diagram, a top view, and an exploded view of the extraction plate clamp separation workbench in one embodiment. Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, the extraction plate clamp separation worktable 2 includes a housing (not shown), a support table 21, an extraction plate support base 22, a separation mechanism 23, a pressing mechanism 24, and a controller (not shown).

[0034] In this embodiment, the housing covers the separation mechanism 23 and the pressing mechanism 24, and its central region is a hollow structure corresponding to the extraction plate 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support platform 21 is used to support the extraction plate support 22, the separation mechanism 23, the pressing mechanism 24, and the controller.

[0036] See Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C The extraction plate support 22 is installed in the central area of ​​the support platform 21, and the interior of the extraction plate support 22 is configured as a hollow structure to accommodate the extraction plate 1.

[0037] The separation mechanism 23 corresponds to the paired elastic buckles 13 and is movably mounted on the support platform 21. Upon receiving a separation command from the controller, the separation mechanism 23 moves toward the extraction plate 1 placed in the extraction plate support 22 and unlocks the elastic buckles 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, the separation mechanism 23 is supported by a first support plate 211 fixed to the support platform 21;

[0039] The first support plate 211 has parallel slide rails on both sides; these two sides are perpendicular to the extraction plate support base.

[0040] Specifically, the separation mechanism 23 includes a slider (not shown), a second support plate 230, an unlocking tongue bracket 231, a first actuating element 232, and a first pressing piece 233.

[0041] The slider is disposed within a slide rail disposed on the upper part of the first support plate 211;

[0042] The second support plate 230 is fixed to the slider, and a groove 2301 is provided in the middle area of ​​the second support plate 230.

[0043] The unlocking tongue bracket 231 is vertically disposed in the groove 2301 of the second support plate 230, and an unlocking tongue 234 is provided at the top of the unlocking tongue bracket, which is opposite to the elastic buckle 13.

[0044] The first actuator 232 connected to the unlocking tongue bracket 231 is used to drive the unlocking tongue bracket 231 toward the extraction plate 1 under the action of the drive mechanism.

[0045] The first pressing piece 233 is symmetrically disposed on one side of the second support plate 230, which is opposite to the extraction plate 1. In this embodiment, the first pressing piece 233 is H-shaped, and the unlocking tongue 234 passes through the concave part in the middle of the first pressing piece 233.

[0046] When the unlocking tongue 234 touches the elastic buckle 13, the first pressing piece 233 overlaps the connection between the tube and the main body, pressing the main body 11 of the extraction plate 1.

[0047] The pressing mechanisms 24, mounted on the support platform, are symmetrically and movably arranged on both sides of the extraction plate support base 22. The pressing mechanisms 24 are used to press the body of the extraction plate when they overlap the connection between the tube and the main body.

[0048] Specifically, the pressing mechanism 24 includes: a third support plate 241, a second actuating element 242, and a second pressing piece 243.

[0049] The third support plate 241 is fixed on the support platform 21 and is opposite to the side of the extraction plate where the elastic buckle is not installed; wherein, the two sides of the third support plate are provided with parallel slide rails; the two sides are perpendicular to the support base of the extraction plate.

[0050] The second actuating element 242 is disposed on the third support plate 241.

[0051] The second pressing piece 243 is fixed to one side of the second actuating element 242, which is opposite to the extraction plate.

[0052] The slider is located at the bottom of the second actuator 242 and is embedded in the slide rail of the third support plate.

[0053] In this process, the second actuator, under the action of the drive mechanism, drives the second pressing piece to move toward the extraction plate, so that the second pressing piece overlaps the connection between the tube and the main body, pressing the main body 11 of the extraction plate 1.

[0054] In practical applications, both the first actuator 232 and the second actuator 242 can be cylinders (in practical applications, the first actuator can be a double piston cylinder, which can extend and retract in the X direction or the Y direction). Under the action of a drive mechanism, such as a motor, the cylinder moves toward the extraction plate 1 (X direction) through the piston rod connected to the unlocking tongue bracket 231.

[0055] In this embodiment, the controller is communicatively connected to the separation mechanism and is used to output separation and pressing commands. By controlling the drive mechanisms corresponding to the separation mechanism 23 and the pressing mechanism 24, the controller controls the separation mechanism to separate the body 11 and tube 12 of the extraction plate 1, and controls the pressing mechanism 23 to press the body 11.

[0056] Specifically, the operation of the separating mechanism 23 and the pressing mechanism 24 is as follows:

[0057] The controller outputs separation and pressing commands to the drive mechanisms corresponding to the separation mechanism 23 and the pressing mechanism 24, respectively. The drive mechanism corresponding to the separation mechanism 23 drives the separation mechanism to move towards the extraction plate, and the drive mechanism corresponding to the pressing mechanism 24 drives the pressing mechanism to move towards the extraction plate. When the unlocking tongue 234 touches the elastic buckle 13, the first actuator 232 pushes the unlocking tongue 234 to press the elastic buckle 13, causing the elastic buckle 13 to elastically deform and detach from the body 11 of the extraction plate 1.

[0058] When the first pressing piece 233 and the second pressing piece 243 are simultaneously overlapped at the connection between the tube and the main body, the main body 11 of the extraction plate 1 is pressed. After the opening between the main body 11 and the tube 12 is completed, the first actuator 232 drives the unlocking tongue 234 to insert into the opening and lift it in the Y direction to separate the main body and the tube. This solves the problem that the main body 11 and the tube 12 are not easy to separate after the extraction plate is heated. Moreover, no manual contact is required during separation, thereby preventing damage or contamination to the extraction plate.

[0059] In summary, the extraction plate clamp separation workbench of the present invention solves the problem that the extraction plate body and the tube body are not easy to separate after being heated, and no manual contact is required during separation, thereby preventing damage or contamination to the extraction plate and meeting the research needs.

[0060] This invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
