[0002] A centrifuge tube is a tubular sample container that can be equipped with a sealing cover or a pressure cover. It is a common instrument in modern laboratories. According to the material, it can be divided into plastic centrifuge tubes, glass centrifuge tubes and steel centrifuge tubes. Centrifuge tube racks are required when placing centrifuge tubes.
[0003] At present, in the existing technology, the rack of centrifuge tubes is made of a plastic frame with a through hole inside, and the centrifuge tubes are placed inside the through hole. This operation is convenient and quick, but most traditional centrifuge tube racks are large in size and have a fixed structure, which is not easy to adjust and takes up a lot of space. If the laboratory space resources are tight, then the centrifuge tube rack cannot provide space for other instruments that need to be operated when storing them, resulting in low utilization of laboratory space resources.
[0004] Therefore, for the improvement of the existing convenient and practical centrifuge tube rack, it is particularly important to design a novel convenient and practical centrifuge tube rack to solve the above-mentioned technical defects and improve the practicality of the overall convenient and practical centrifuge tube rack.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] Example:
[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] A convenient and practical centrifuge tube rack comprises a rack body 1, characterized in that: the rack body 1 is composed of an upper frame 2 and a lower frame 3, through grooves 4 are symmetrically opened inside the upper frame 2, and a folding component 5 is installed between the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3;
[0023] The folding assembly 5 is used to fold the rack body 1 to save space when stored.
[0024] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the folding component 5 includes a first linkage rod 501, a second linkage rod 502 and a linkage shaft 503. The first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are respectively installed between the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3, and the linkage shaft 503 is installed between the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502. When a test is required, liquid is placed inside the centrifuge tube and the tube cover is sealed to prevent liquid loss. When the length of the centrifuge tube is longer than the rack body 1, the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are moved to shrink the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502, and at the same time, the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 are moved away from each other, so that the distance between them is increased, thereby adapting to the lengths of different centrifuge tubes.
[0025] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the right ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are respectively installed with a fixing frame 504, and the interior of the fixing frame 504 is provided with a slide groove 505. The first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are connected to the rack body 1 through the fixing frame 504. The left ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are respectively installed with a connecting seat 506. The connection between the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 and the connecting seat 506 is a rotation connection, and the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 are designed in an X-shaped structure. When the shelf body 1 needs to be stored, the upper frame 2 is pressed to unfold the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502. At the same time, the left ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 slide inside the slide groove 505, and the right ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 rotate on the connecting seat 506, making the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 fit together, thereby reducing their height and making it more space-saving when stored.
[0026] Furthermore, please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a funnel 6 is installed inside the through groove 4. The funnel 6 is designed in a trumpet-shaped structure and is evenly spaced. The trumpet-shaped design of the funnel 6 allows the bottom of the funnel 6 to be aligned and fixed when the centrifuge tube is stored, preventing the centrifuge tube from slipping inside the funnel 6 and causing irreparable losses.
[0027] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the funnel 6 is symmetrically provided with extrusion blocks 7, a silicone pad is provided on the side of the extrusion blocks 7 close to each other, and a spring 8 is provided on the side of the extrusion blocks 7 far away from each other. When the centrifuge tube is placed in the funnel 6, the spring 8 stores energy through expansion and contraction, so that the extrusion block 7 tightly wraps the centrifuge tube. At the same time, the silicone pad on the outside of the extrusion block 7 can increase the friction between the extrusion block 7 and the centrifuge tube, thereby further achieving the stability of the clamping.
[0028] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a hook 9 is installed on the outside of the upper frame 2, and a buckle 10 is installed on the outside of the lower frame 3 at a position corresponding to the hook 9. The hook 9 and the buckle 10 are adapted for use. When the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 are fitted together, the buckle 10 is inserted into the inside of the hook 9, so that the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 are fixed.
[0029] In this embodiment, the implementation scenario is specifically as follows: the funnel 6 is designed to be trumpet-shaped, so that when the centrifuge tube is stored, the bottom of the funnel 6 is aligned and fixed, and the spring 8 is expanded and contracted to store energy, so that the extrusion block 7 tightly wraps the centrifuge tube, and the silicone pad on the outside of the extrusion block 7 can increase the friction between the extrusion block 7 and the centrifuge tube, thereby further completing the stability of the clamping. When the shelf body 1 needs to be stored, the upper frame 2 is pressed to expand the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502, and the left ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 slide inside the slide groove 505, and the right ends of the first linkage rod 501 and the second linkage rod 502 rotate on the connecting seat 506, so that the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 are fitted together, and the buckle 10 is inserted into the inside of the hook 9, so that the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 3 are fixed, thereby reducing its height, making it more space-saving when stored.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
