Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifuges, in particular to a locking mechanism for a switch cover of a centrifuge. Background Art

[0002] Centrifuges are common laboratory equipment, mainly used to separate particles from solutions. The machine can separate these media according to their size, shape, density and viscosity. The separation process depends on the rotor speed. Separators are used in research and clinical environments, and are most commonly used in chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology laboratories. Some of the most common applications include separation, purification and separation of organelles, cells and cell components for further observation by researchers. The locking mechanism is used to lock the lid after closing it. In the prior art, for example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN215917826U discloses a locking mechanism for a full-flip centrifuge, which achieves the compression and locking of the flip cover by rotating the lifting cylinder. However, this protruding locking mechanism set on the front side of the centrifuge not only affects the appearance of the product, but also the action of the rotating lifting cylinder requires compressed gas to drive it. When used, it is bound to require an air distribution system composed of an air machine, a gas tank, a solenoid valve, etc., which has a complex structure and high application cost.
