Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of test tube racks, in particular to a rotary test tube rack with adjustable aperture for a laboratory. Background Art

[0002] In modern medical testing and biological science research, test tube racks are an indispensable laboratory equipment. They are mainly used to store and organize test tubes for sample collection, processing and analysis. Traditional test tube racks are usually designed with fixed apertures, which means they can only accommodate test tubes of a specific diameter. This design limits the versatility of test tube racks, because laboratories often need to use test tubes of different diameters to meet different experimental needs.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of laboratory technology, higher requirements are placed on the functionality and flexibility of test tube racks. Operators often need to handle test tubes of various specifications, including but not limited to standard test tubes, micro test tubes, centrifuge tubes, etc. Traditional fixed-aperture test tube racks cannot meet such diverse needs, resulting in operators having to frequently change test tube racks during operation, which not only increases the workload but also reduces work efficiency. In addition, the fixed structure of the test tube rack also makes it inconvenient to take and put the test tubes. In the case of frequent test tube replacement, traditional test tube racks often cannot provide sufficient convenience, which may affect the consistency and accuracy of the work.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor specially designed a rotary test tube rack with adjustable aperture for the laboratory, and this case was thus generated. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. The following actual aperture examples are used to illustrate the utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a rotary adjustable test tube rack for the laboratory, comprising a base 1, on which a pillar 2 is fixedly arranged, on which a rotating shaft 3 rotating around the central axis of the pillar 2 is sleeved, on which a rotating disk 4 is fixedly arranged, and on which a plurality of rack holes 5 for placing test tubes are provided on the surface of the rotating disk 4. The design of the rotating disk 4 enables the test tube rack to rotate conveniently, and the user can easily select and take the required test tubes, thereby improving work efficiency. A pair of adjusting wheels 6 for adjusting the aperture size of the rack holes 5 are provided above the rack holes 5, and the adjusting wheels 6 are regular polygons, and each side is provided with semicircular holes 61 of different diameters for clamping the test tubes. A wheel axle 7 for rotating the adjusting wheel 6 is fixedly arranged on the rotating disk 4. By providing an adjustable adjusting wheel 6, the utility model can adapt to test tubes of different diameters, improves the versatility and flexibility of the test tube rack, and reduces the need to replace different test tube racks due to different test tube diameters.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, identification grooves 62 of the same shape are provided on both sides of the semicircular hole 61 on the adjusting wheel 6, and the shapes of the identification grooves 62 on each side of the adjusting wheel 6 are different. The identification grooves 62 provide an intuitive way to identify the aperture, and the user can quickly select the appropriate aperture according to the shape of the identification grooves 62, simplifying the operation process. More importantly, when the same sides of a pair of adjusting wheels 6 are rotated and assembled together, it can be intuitively determined whether they are the same semicircular hole 61 by the upper graphics of the identification grooves 62. The adjusting wheel 6 is set to a regular pentagon to meet the activity space of the device. In reality, a triangle, a quadrilateral, etc. can also be selected according to the size of the space.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a buffer 63 is fixedly arranged inside the semicircular hole 61, and the buffer 63 can effectively protect the test tube, reduce the damage of the test tube during the clamping process, and extend the service life of the test tube. The buffer 63 can be selected from flexible materials such as sponge and rubber gasket.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to ensure better gear positioning during the rotation of the pair of adjusting wheels 6, five convex strips 71 are evenly arranged around the wheel shaft 7, and a slot 64 adapted to the shape of the wheel shaft 7 is arranged on the end surface of the adjusting wheel 6 away from the identification groove 62. In this way, the convex strip 71 plays a slight blocking role each time the adjusting wheel 6 rotates. This sense of pause gives the user a certain rotation feedback and is also convenient for selecting the edge of the adjusting wheel 6 according to needs.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a support tray 8 for supporting the bottom of the test tube is fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 3 and below the rotating disk 4. A supporting groove 81 is provided on the support tray 8 and just below the corresponding rack hole 5. The design of the support tray 8 provides additional support for the bottom of the test tube, especially when the test tube is heavy or filled with liquid, it can effectively disperse the weight and prevent the test tube from deforming or breaking. The rotating disk 4 and the support tray 8 are arranged in a spiral staircase form around the rotating shaft 3. The spiral staircase arrangement of the rotating disk 4 and the support tray 8 increases the storage number of test tubes while maintaining the stability of the test tubes, so that the test tube rack can store more test tubes in a limited space. There is a height difference between the rotating disk 4 and the support tray 8, so that different test tubes will not be blocked, making it faster and more convenient to pick up samples.

[0038] A counterweight block 9 is fixedly arranged on the base 1. The arrangement of the counterweight block 9 increases the stability of the test tube rack, prevents the test tube rack from tipping over during the rotation process, and ensures the safety of the operation.

[0039] In summary, the utility model of the rotary test tube rack with adjustable aperture for laboratory use improves the functionality, operational convenience and safety of the test tube rack through its innovative design, and meets the demand for efficient, stable and universal test tube racks in the field of medical testing.

[0040] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
