Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically to a rotary pipette holder. Background Art

[0002] A pipette, also known as a pipetting gun, is a device used for quantitatively transferring liquids. When conducting research in analytical testing, a pipette is generally used to transfer small or trace amounts of liquid. In some medical experiments, a pipetting dispenser is usually required to transfer liquid samples. When using a pipette, a pipette holder is often used to place the pipette. Currently, the existing pipette holders on the market have a simple structure when in use, can hold a small number of pipettes, and do not have a rotatable structure. When the user needs to rotate the holder, the entire holder has to be picked up and rotated, which is rather troublesome to use and increases the operation time. When disinfecting the existing rotary holders, they are disinfected through a disinfection cabinet. However, the space in the disinfection cabinet is limited, making it difficult to place a relatively large rotary holder. Summary of the Invention

The accurate docking is carried out through the cooperation of the positioning card and the positioning seat, and then it is fixed through the magnetic attraction fixing mechanism, so as to avoid accidental detachment. The magnetic attraction positioning mechanism includes a magnet provided on the positioning card and an electromagnet provided on the positioning seat. The magnetism generated after the electromagnet is energized is opposite to the magnetism of the magnet. In this way, the magnetic forces repel each other after being energized, which is convenient for removing the protective cover and convenient for subsequent use.

[0016] 3. In this rotary pipette holder, the heating mechanism and the disinfection mechanism are both integrated on the protective cover, which effectively reduces the mass and volume of the whole composed of the rotary rack and the bracket, and is convenient for handling and experimental operation.
