DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The "first", "second", directional words, etc. in the following text are not particularly limiting, but are just for the convenience of distinguishing the description, and are not improper limitations on the technical solution. Example

[0036] A kit component for an analytical instrument, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes multiple reagent bottles 1, a support frame 2 and a bottle cap 3; the shell 23 of the support frame 2 is penetrated from the top to the bottom to open multiple bottle grooves 22 that can accommodate the reagent bottles 1, and the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1 extends into the bottle groove 22 from the bottom of the shell 23 of the support frame 2 and the bottle body 11 of the reagent bottle 1 is confined inside the bottle groove 22; the bottle cap 3 is connected to the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1 extending out of the top of the shell 23 of the support frame 2.

[0037] As an example, provide Figure 5 The cylindrical reagent bottle shown comprises a cylindrical bottle body 11, the upper end of the bottle body 11 is set as a bottle mouth 12, and the outer periphery of the bottle mouth 12 is provided with a limiting column 13 (one or more can be provided, Figure 5 As an example, a case of two limiting columns 13 is shown, and the structural arrangement is the same, and the first limiting column or the second limiting column is not particularly limited). The bottle body 11 is provided with a first extension portion 14, a second extension portion 15 and a third extension portion 16 extending outward in sequence from the lower portion of the limiting column 13, and the extension radius of the second extension portion 15 at least partially exceeds the first extension portion 14 and the third extension portion 16. A fourth extension portion is provided above the bottom 18 of the bottle body. The arrangement of the first extension portion 14, the second extension portion 15, the third extension portion 16 and the fourth extension portion 17 facilitates the stable limitation of the reagent bottle 1 in the bottle groove 22, prevents the bottle body 11 from shaking and spilling liquid, and has a simple structure and is safe to use.

[0038] As another example, Figure 6 The square cylindrical reagent bottle shown in the figure comprises a cuboid bottle body 11 with chamfered corners, a bottle mouth 12 is arranged at the upper end of the bottle body 11, and a limiting column 13 (one or more can be arranged) is arranged on the periphery of the bottle mouth 12. Figure 6 As an example, two limiting columns 13 are shown. A vertical rib 19 is provided on the outer wall of the bottle body 11 on one side of the shell 23 that contacts the support frame 2, extending from the bottle mouth 12 to the bottom 18 of the bottle body. Figure 6 Specifically, 2 ribs are provided), and the vertical rib 19 can help to better limit the position, so that the reagent bottle 1 can be installed more firmly. The first extension part 14 and the second extension part 15 are sequentially extended to the periphery on the bottle body 11 below the limiting column 13, and the extension radius of the second extension part 15 at least partially exceeds the first extension part 14. The reagent bottle 1 is provided with a fourth extension part 17 at the upper part near the bottom 18 of the bottle body. The arrangement of the first extension part 14, the second extension part 15 and the fourth extension part 17 facilitates the reagent bottle 1 to be stably limited in the bottle groove 22, and the structure is simple and safe to use.

[0039] As an optimization solution, the present invention provides Figure 7 The support frame 2 shown. The shell 23 of the support frame 2 extends upward to set a group of symmetrical enclosures 21 around the top opening of each bottle groove 22, so that the bottle mouth 12 is half wrapped in the enclosure 21 after being connected with the bottle cap 3, thereby better ensuring the limited connection between the bottle cap 3 and the bottle body 11.

[0040] As an example, Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the support frame 2 is provided with bottle grooves 22 that can accommodate cylindrical reagent bottles and square cylindrical reagent bottles. Preferably, the bottle grooves 22 for accommodating cylindrical reagent bottles are arranged at the edge portions of both sides of the support frame 2, and the bottle grooves 22 for accommodating square cylindrical reagent bottles are arranged in the middle portion.

[0041] Of course, the above example is not the only solution, and the bottle slot 22 can be designed to accommodate all cylindrical reagent bottles, or all square cylindrical reagent bottles, or a plurality of square cylindrical reagent bottles can be combined into one cylindrical reagent bottle.

[0042] As a preferred solution, the top opening of each bottle groove 22 is extended toward the inner circumference to form a limit stop surface 24, and when properly assembled, the limit stop surface 24 is engaged between the first extension portion 14 and the second extension portion 15 (such as Fig.12 As shown in the figure, the bottle body 11 is limited to a specific position in the bottle groove 22 and will not move up and down. The second extension 15 can also prevent the bottle body 11 from being pushed out from the top opening during installation.

[0043] As a way, the specific shape of the limit stop surface 24 is an arc.

[0044] As an example, the present invention provides Figure 8-11The bottle cap 3 shown. The bottle cap 3 includes an outer cover body 33 and an inner cover body 35 formed in one piece, the wall surface of the bottle mouth 12 is located between the outer cover body 33 and the inner cover body 35, the inner cover body 35 is connected to the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1 and is close to the inner wall of the bottle mouth 12, which plays a better leak-proof role, and the outer cover body 33 is provided with a limiting groove that is limitedly connected to the limiting column 13 of the reagent bottle 1. Compared with ordinary bottle caps, the internal design of the bottle cap reduces the situation of liquid reagent residue on the bottle cap.

[0045] Specifically, the inner cover 35 is connected to the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1, and after the connection, the inner cover 35 and the bottle mouth 12 are both located inside the outer cover 33. A handle 31 is provided on the top surface of the outer cover 33 for easy grasping. A limiting groove matching the limiting column 13 of the reagent bottle 1 is provided on the side wall of the outer cover 33.

[0046] Preferably, if Figure 1-6 As shown, the first limiting column and the second limiting column are symmetrically arranged on the periphery of the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1. Figure 8 and 9 The outer cover 33 is provided with a first limiting groove 32 and a second limiting groove 34 which are symmetrical in center. The shapes of the first limiting groove 32 and the second limiting groove 34 are in a symmetrical relationship in center.

[0047] As an example, the enclosure 21 can be specifically configured as a group of symmetrical arc structures for surrounding the bottle cap 3 to prevent the first limiting groove 32 or the second limiting groove 34 on the bottle cap 3 from deforming with the first limiting column or the second limiting column, thereby ensuring smooth connection and limiting.

[0048] Preferably, the inner cover 35 is connected by inserting into the bottle mouth 12 of the reagent bottle 1, and then the bottle cap 3 is rotated at a certain angle, so that the limiting column 13 of the reagent bottle 1 is inserted into the limiting groove on the outer cover 33, and the outer cover 33 is limitedly connected with the limiting column 13 of the reagent bottle 1, so as to achieve a stable connection and a non-leakage effect. The groove shapes of the first limiting groove 32 and the second limiting groove 34 are irregular shapes that are centrally symmetrical to each other, like bent fingers, and the opening directions of the grooves are different.

[0049] Although the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are as above, the contents described are only embodiments adopted to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician in the field to which the present invention belongs can make any modifications and changes in the form and details of implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in the present invention, but the patent protection scope of the present invention shall still be subject to the scope defined in the attached claims.
