Detailed implementation manners

[0028] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an individual or selectively exclusive embodiment with other embodiments.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of clarity, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally out of the general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width and depth should be included.

[0032] Embodiment 1 Refer to Figures 1 - 8, which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a portable electrophoresis apparatus, including a portable electrophoresis apparatus 1. Inside the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1, a power supply 11 is installed. Inside the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1, a horizontal electrophoresis tank 12 is placed. An electrode member 13 is inserted into the horizontal electrophoresis tank 12. When in use, the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1 is unfolded, and its motor cleaning box 2 is installed on the opening and closing cover of the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1; And the power supply 11 can integrate an ultraviolet lamp and a white light lamp, so as to facilitate the observation of electrophoresis results outdoors. And a bottle of stain-free gel premix can be equipped inside the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1, eliminating the cumbersome process of protein electrophoresis decolorization and staining. By providing precast gels or premixes, the gel preparation steps can be greatly simplified, and the complexity of gel preparation operations when the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1 is carried out can be reduced.

[0033] Specifically, a cleaning box 2 is installed on the inner wall of the portable electrophoresis apparatus 1. A placement tube 21 is installed on the inner wall of the electrode cleaning box 2. A rotating disk 22 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. A touch pressure scraping strip 221 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating disk 22. A spring contact block 222 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating disk 22. A floating plate 23 is installed outside the rotating disk 22. The cleaning box 2 is divided into a cleaning chamber 26 and a liquid storage chamber 25. The placement tube 21 extends from one side of the liquid storage chamber 25 of the cleaning box 2 to one side of the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 26, and the placement tube 21 extends out of the outer wall of the cleaning box 2. The rotating disk 22 and the floating plate 23 are located in the cleaning chamber 26, and the spring contact block 222 on the rotating disk 22 is located on one side of the placement tube 21. A moving plate 24 is located in the liquid storage chamber 25, and the moving plate 24 is attached to the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 25 through a seal.

[0034] Furthermore, a sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 is installed on the inner wall of the placement tube 21. A touch rod 212 is installed at the end of the placement tube 21, and the touch rod 212 extends into the inner wall of the placement tube 21. A ring-shaped inclined ring 213 is installed at the extending end of the touch rod 212. A cover plate 214 is attached to the outer wall of the placement tube 21. The cover plate 214 is located on one side of the opening between the cleaning chamber 26 and the liquid storage chamber 25.

[0035] Furthermore, the ring-shaped inclined ring 213 is located on one side of the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211, and the inclined surface of the ring-shaped inclined ring 213 faces the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211. The touch rod 212 can drive the ring-shaped inclined ring 213 to move and touch and press the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 to deflect (see Figure 8 ).

[0036] Further, a bent rod 2141 is installed on the outer wall of the cover plate 214. One end of the bent rod 2141 penetrates through the annular inclined ring 213, and the penetrating end of the bent rod 2141 is connected to the annular inclined ring 213 through a pulling member 2142. A floating ball 2143 is installed on the outer wall of the cover plate 214. The pulling member 2142 is composed of a pulling rope and a movable shaft for steering, so that the moving directions of the cover plate 214 and the annular inclined ring 213 are opposite. A spring is installed on the outer wall of the cover plate 214, and the spring applies an elastic force to the cover plate 214. The elastic force applied by the spring to the cover plate 214 is slightly less than the restraining force of the sealing fixed rubber ring 211 on the pulling member 2142 when it is in full contact with the annular inclined ring 213, so that the electrode always presses against the contact rod 212. The auxiliary cover plate 214 can seal the openings of the cleaning chamber 26 and the liquid storage chamber 25. The number of the floating balls 2143 is set according to the actual situation, so that the buoyancy received by the floating balls 2143 is the difference required for the movement of the cover plate 214 in different states. Furthermore, when the positions of the cleaning chamber 26 and the liquid storage chamber 25 are reversed, the buoyancy plus the force of the above spring can eject the contact rod 212 to the outer end of the cleaning box 2.

[0037] Further, a rotating shaft 231 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 2. A reel 232 is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 231. The reel 232 is connected to the shaft body of the rotating disk 22 through a gear set 233. A winding rope 234 is wound around the reel 232. The winding rope 234 is connected to the floating plate 23 through the rotating shaft 231. A torsion spring is installed at one end of the reel 232 and deforms when the reel 232 rotates. The gear set 233 is composed of gears of different sizes. The driving gear is a small gear and the driven gear is a large gear, reducing the load required for the rotation of the reel 232. When the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 26 rises, the floating plate 23 moves to drive the reel 232 to rotate. The rotation of the reel 232 drives the rotating disk 22 to rotate through the gear set 233. The rotation of the rotating disk 22 drives the contact pressure scraping strip 221 to rotate, thus starting the electrode cleaning.

[0038] Operation process: When in use, unfold the portable electrophoresis instrument 1. At this time, the cleaning liquid is located in the liquid storage cavity 25 and is sealed by the cover plate 214, so the cleaning liquid does not flow into the cleaning cavity 26. When the electrode is used up, the electrode is inserted along the placement tube 21, and the end of the electrode contacts the spring contact block 222. And through the spring contact block 222, the two groups of pressing and scraping strips 221 are rotated and attached to the outer wall of the electrode. When the cable end of the electrode presses the contact rod 212, the contact rod 212 moves to drive the annular inclined ring 213 to move. The annular inclined ring 213 moves and presses on the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211. At this time, the outer ring of the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 is pressed, so that the inner ring of the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 gradually clings to the outer wall of the electrode. And after the contact rod 212 is completely embedded, the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 can seal and fasten between the electrode and the placement tube 21. At this time, the side of the electrode attached with the buffer solution is completely embedded in the cleaning cavity 26. And when the contact rod 212 is completely embedded, the contact rod 212 drives the cover plate 214 to move through the pulling member 2142, so that the cover plate 214 moves to open the channel between the cleaning cavity 26 and the liquid storage cavity 25. At this time, the cleaning liquid is sprinkled on the surface of the electrode, and the cleaning liquid accumulates in the cleaning cavity 26. As the liquid level in the cleaning cavity 26 rises, the floating plate 23 moves to drive the reel 232 to rotate. The reel 232 rotates to drive the rotating disk 22 to rotate through the gear set 233. The rotating disk 22 rotates to drive the pressing and scraping strip 221 to rotate, thus starting to clean the electrode (whether the floating plate 23 can drive the scraping strip to rotate by the rising liquid level depends on the buoyancy received by the floating plate 23. This floating plate 23 is preferably a foam board. Then, starting from the actual model of the present invention, the size width and length of this foam board in the cavity are both not greater than 10 cm, and the thickness is set to 5 cm. At this time, when the foam board is completely immersed in water, its buoyancy is about 5 N, and this force is about the weight of a bottle of water. And this force can drive a small scraping strip to rotate, and this scraping strip only needs to gently scrape the surface of the electrode member 13, and the required force is not too large). After the cleaning is completed, the portable electrophoresis instrument 1 can be directly closed. At this time, the upper and lower positions of the cleaning cavity 26 and the liquid storage cavity 25 are reversed, and the cleaning liquid flows back into the liquid storage cavity 25 again. When the liquid level in the liquid storage cavity 25 rises to one side of the floating ball 2143 of the cover plate 214, an upward buoyancy is applied to the cover plate 214. The cover plate 214 is pushed under the combined action of the elastic force of the spring and the buoyancy, so that the liquid storage cavity 25 and the cleaning cavity 26 are re-sealed, and the contact rod 212 is pulled back to its original position, so that the electrode is also offset by the contact rod 212 so that the cable end of the electrode contacts the top of the power supply 11. At this time, the spring contact block 222 also restores and unfolds the pressing and scraping strip 221;The floating of its cover plate 214 only fits with the upper opening, enabling airtight sealing in the upper and lower regions. When the cleaning tank 2 is inverted (i.e., when the electrode insertion end is below), the cover plate 214 achieves sealing by relying on buoyancy and the force of the spring (sealing can be achieved with a slight fit). At this time, the cleaning liquid is below the cover plate 214. When the cleaning tank 2 is opened (i.e., when the electrode insertion end is above and the touch rod 212 is pressed), the cover plate 214 and the floating ball 2143 are still subject to buoyancy. However, the negative pressure effect of the flowing water at the opening on the cover plate 214 also needs to be considered. At this time, the cover plate 214 is more likely to seal the opening. At this time, the cover plate 214 is at the bottom of the liquid level and is naturally adsorbed at the opening under the influence of the negative pressure at the opening.

[0039] Embodiment 2 Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a moving plate 24 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2. A spring is connected between the moving plate 24 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 to maintain the sealing plate 242 at the opening of the ventilation port 243, so that the cleaning cavity 26 will not leak liquid during cleaning. A connecting rod member 241 is installed on the outer wall of the moving plate 24. A ventilation port 243 is opened on the inner wall of the cleaning cavity 26 and extends to the outside of the portable electrophoresis instrument 1. The connecting rod member 241 extends into the ventilation port 243. A sealing plate 242 is installed at the extending end of the connecting rod member 241. The sealing plate 242 is set according to the number of openings of the ventilation port 243. A rubber pad is installed on the surface of the sealing plate 242. When the sealing plate 242 moves to one side of the opening of the ventilation port 243, the cleaning cavity 26 is in a fully enclosed state. When the sealing plate 242 is misaligned with the opening of the ventilation port 243, the cleaning cavity 26 is in a ventilation state. When the cleaning liquid flows back into the liquid storage cavity 25 again, the moving plate 24 is gradually subjected to the pressure of the cleaning liquid, and the moving plate 24 gradually drives the sealing plate 242 to completely open the ventilation port 243, so as to keep the electrodes dry and ventilated after cleaning.

[0040] All other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0041] Operation process: A spring is connected between the moving plate 24 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 to maintain the sealing plate 242 at the opening of the ventilation port 243, so that the cleaning cavity 26 will not leak liquid during cleaning. When the cleaning liquid flows back into the liquid storage cavity 25 again, the moving plate 24 that gradually bears the weight of the cleaning liquid also moves. At this time, the moving plate 24 moves the sealing plate 242 through the connecting rod member 241, so that the ventilation port 243 can be opened, and the electrodes are automatically kept in a ventilated and dry state after cleaning.

[0042] Working principle: When in use, unfold the portable electrophoresis instrument 1. At this time, the cleaning liquid is located in the liquid storage cavity 25 and is sealed by the cover plate 214, so the cleaning liquid does not flow into the cleaning cavity 26. When the electrode is used up, the electrode is inserted along the placement tube 21, and the end of the electrode contacts the spring contact block 222. Through the spring contact block 222, the two groups of pressing and scraping strips 221 are rotated and attached to the outer wall of the electrode. When the cable end of the electrode presses the contact rod 212, the contact rod 212 moves to drive the annular inclined ring 213 to move. The annular inclined ring 213 moves and presses on the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211. At this time, the outer ring of the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 is pressed, so that the inner ring of the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 gradually clings to the outer wall of the electrode. After the contact rod 212 is completely inserted, the sealing and fixing rubber ring 211 can seal and fasten between the electrode and the placement tube 21. At this time, the side of the electrode attached with the buffer solution is completely inserted into the cleaning cavity 26. When the contact rod 212 is completely inserted, the contact rod 212 pulls the cover plate 214 to move through the pulling member 2142, so that the cover plate 214 moves to open the channel between the cleaning cavity 26 and the liquid storage cavity 25. At this time, the cleaning liquid is sprinkled on the surface of the electrode, and the cleaning liquid accumulates in the cleaning cavity 26. As the liquid level in the cleaning cavity 26 rises, the floating plate 23 moves to drive the reel 232 to rotate. The reel 232 rotates to drive the rotating disk 22 to rotate through the gear set 233. The rotating disk 22 rotates to drive the pressing and scraping strip 221 to rotate, thus starting to clean the electrode. After the cleaning is completed, the portable electrophoresis instrument 1 can be directly closed. At this time, the upper and lower positions of the cleaning cavity 26 and the liquid storage cavity 25 are reversed, and the cleaning liquid flows back into the liquid storage cavity 25 again. When the liquid level in the liquid storage cavity 25 rises to one side of the floating ball 2143 of the cover plate 214, an upward buoyancy is applied to the cover plate 214. The cover plate 214 is pushed under the combined action of the elastic force of the spring and the buoyancy, so that the liquid storage cavity 25 and the cleaning cavity 26 are re-sealed, and the contact rod 212 is pulled back to its original position, so that the electrode is also offset by the contact rod 212 so that the cable end of the electrode contacts the top of the power supply 11. At this time, the spring contact block 222 can also restore and unfold the pressing and scraping strip 221. At this time, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 25 presses the moving plate 24, and the moving plate 24 moves the sealing plate 242 through the connecting rod member 241, so that the ventilation port 243 is opened, thus completing the self-cleaning and ventilation placement of the electrode and improving the use effect of the electrophoresis instrument outdoors.

[0043] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
