Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cryopreservation tubes, in particular to a tube clamp for moving cryopreservation tubes. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of life science and biotechnology, cryotubes have been widely used as an important tool for preserving and transporting biological samples. Cryotubes are usually used to store biological samples such as cells, tissues, DNA, RNA, etc., and maintain their activity and stability under low temperature conditions. In laboratory and clinical research, cryotubes frequently need to be removed from the cryopreservation device for further processing, such as sample testing, analysis or reaction.

[0003] However, cryogenic tubes face many challenges during handling and moving.

[0017] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 2 shown.

[0018] The utility model provides a tube clamp for moving a cryogenic tube, comprising a cryogenic tube clamp 1, a docking adjustment frame 2, a first force clamp 3, a second force clamp 4, a fixing buckle 5 and a bath support 6, wherein: the docking adjustment frame 2 is fixedly installed at both ends of the cryogenic tube clamp 1, and the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the cryogenic tube clamp 1 through the docking adjustment frame 2, the fixing buckle 5 is fixedly installed at the rear ends of the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4; the bath support 6 is fixedly installed below the middle of the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4.

[0019] The docking adjustment frame 2 includes a matching connection block 21, a matching shaft 22, a bent connection block 23 and a connection base 24, and the internal structure of the docking adjustment frame 2 adopts two pairs. The matching connection block 21 is connected to the two tips of the top of the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4 through the matching shaft 22; the bent connection block 23 and the connection base 24 are connected through a damping bearing, and the connection base 24 is connected and fixed to the two ends of the cryopreservation tube clamp 1.

[0020] The cryogenic tube clamp 1 is provided in two groups which are symmetrical to each other and can clamp the cryogenic tube when brought close to each other; a space for accommodating the cryogenic tube is provided inside the cryogenic tube clamp 1, and a layer of silicone is wrapped around the outside of the cryogenic tube clamp 1; the cryogenic tube clamp 1 can be opened and closed by opening and closing the first force-applying clamp 3 and the second force-applying clamp 4.

[0021] The docking adjustment frame 2 adopts two groups, and the docking adjustment frame 2 can perform relative movement in the horizontal direction with the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4 through the matching connection block 21; the relative movement of the matching connection block 21 and the connection base 24 can make the freezing tube clamp 1 and the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4 perform folding movement, and suspend at any angle through the damping bearing between the bending connection block 23 and the connection base 24.

[0022] The cryotube moving clamp is a device specially designed for handling and moving cryotubes. Its working principle mainly includes the following aspects:

[0023] 1. Clamping and fixing

[0024] The cryogenic tube clamp 1 is one of the core components of the tube clamp. It adopts two sets of symmetrical structures, which can approach each other and clamp the cryogenic tube. Each set of clamps is designed with a special space inside to accommodate and fix the cryogenic tube. The outside of the clamp is wrapped with a layer of silicone, which not only provides protection, but also increases friction to ensure that the cryogenic tube does not slip during operation.

[0025] 2. Application of force

[0026] The first force-applying clamp 3 and the second force-applying clamp 4 are connected to the two ends of the cryotube clamp 1 through the docking adjustment frame 2. When the force-applying clamp applies force, it is transmitted to the cryotube clamp 1 through the docking adjustment frame 2 to open and close it, thereby clamping or releasing the cryotube.

[0027] 3. Docking adjustment

[0028] The docking adjustment frame 2 plays a key connection and adjustment role in the pipe clamp. Its internal structure includes a mating connection block 21, a mating shaft 22, a bent connection block 23 and a connection base 24. These components achieve flexible connection and angle adjustment between the force clamp and the cryopreservation tube clamp 1 through the relative movement of the mating shaft 22 and the damping bearing.

[0029] 4. Folding movement

[0030] The docking adjustment frame 2 allows folding movement between the cryotube clamp 1 and the force-applying clamp. By coordinating the relative movement of the connecting block 21 and the connecting base 24, the tube clamp can be folded within a certain range. This design allows the operator to flexibly adjust the angle of the clamp, thereby making it more convenient to immerse the cryotube into the water bath for processing.

[0031] 5. Hover and stabilize

[0032] The curved connecting block 23 and the connecting base 24 in the docking adjustment frame 2 are connected through a damping bearing, so that the freezing tube clamp 1 can hover at any angle. The damping bearing provides sufficient resistance to ensure that the clamp can firmly maintain this position after being folded to a certain angle to prevent sliding after entering the water bath.

[0033] 6. Fixing and support

[0034] The fixing buckle 5 is installed at the rear ends of the first force clamp 3 and the second force clamp 4 to provide an additional fixing function to ensure that the entire pipe clamp system will not loosen during operation. The water bath bracket 6 is fixedly installed at the middle and lower part of the force clamp to provide stable support for the pipe clamp so that it can be firmly maintained above or inside the water bath for operation.

[0035] Summarize

[0036] The tube clamp for moving the cryotube has the flexible connection and angle adjustment function of the docking adjustment frame 2, so that the cryotube clamp 1 can be freely opened, closed and folded in different operating environments, so that the cryotube can be conveniently immersed in the water bath for processing. The whole system ensures the stability and accuracy of the operation through the combined action of the force clamp, the fixing buckle and the water bath bracket.

[0037] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
