Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microorganism culture tube storage brackets, in particular to an easily adjustable microorganism culture tube storage bracket. Background Art

[0002] The storage rack is a device used to store microbial culture tubes in the laboratory. Its design and function are aimed at ensuring the safety, neatness and easy management of the culture tubes. The storage rack provides a stable and safe platform for the microbial culture tubes, making them less susceptible to external physical impact and damage during storage. This is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the culture tubes and avoiding culture contamination.

[0003] The existing microorganism culture tube storage support cannot be adjusted in height, which limits the placement height of the culture tube, and does not have a rotating mechanism, which limits its flexibility of use.

[0004] For example, a tipping-proof microbial culture test tube rack disclosed in announcement number CN206676407U has a fixed position of the test tubes in the patent and cannot be adjusted according to the length of the test tubes. When it is necessary to take the test tubes in the back row, the front row test tubes may need to be moved or temporarily removed due to the obstruction of the front row test tubes, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also may increase the risk of test tube damage or cross-contamination. In addition, the test tubes are densely arranged at equal intervals, so that the front row test tubes will block the view of the back row test tubes, making it difficult for experimenters to directly observe the solution reaction in the back row test tubes, which not only affects the real-time observation of the experiment, but also may cause difficulties in recording and analyzing the experimental results.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a microorganism culture tube storage support that is easy to adjust to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, one end of the worm is connected to the output end of the driving motor, the other end of the worm is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the support, and the worm and the worm wheel are meshingly connected, so as to realize the rotation adjustment of the column.

[0009] Preferably, a column is provided on the top of the support, and the bottom surface of the column is rotatably connected to the top surface of the support. This design allows the column to rotate on the support.

[0010] Preferably, the support pad is fixedly connected to the column, and the storage plate is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod, in order to improve the stability and reliability of the storage bracket and ensure the safety and stability of the microbial culture tube during storage and use.

[0011] Preferably, the column and the adjusting rod are slidably connected, a spring is provided inside the column, the bottom of the spring is connected to the bottom surface inside the column, and the top of the spring is connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting rod, allowing the user to adjust the height of the storage plate as needed, so that the storage bracket can flexibly adapt to culture tube bodies of different sizes or the experimenter's requirements for different storage heights.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of the storage slots are provided, and the plurality of the storage slots are distributed in a circular uniform array, and a culture tube body is arranged inside the storage slots. The circular uniform array distribution of the plurality of storage slots enables the bracket to store multiple culture tube bodies at the same time, thereby improving space utilization.

[0013] Preferably, a groove is provided at the contact position between the bottom of the culture tube body and the support pad, a silicone pad is arranged inside the groove, and the bottom end of the culture tube body is in contact with the silicone pad.
