Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of experimental instruments and relates to a device suitable for loading different numbers of microbial plates. Background Art

[0002] Microbiology laboratory plates are mainly used for culture and drug sensitivity testing, and are stacked in incubators or placed in plastic frames. Some plates need to be stored in incubators for different periods of time, such as 2-14 days, depending on the culture project, and need to be frequently flipped through to check positive results. Currently, the most commonly used plate storage container in clinical practice is a plastic frame of fixed size, which cannot be adjusted according to the number of plates. When the number of plates is large, the frame capacity cannot meet the demand for the number of culture plates; when the number of plates is small and multiple plastic frames cannot be placed in the incubator at the same time, the space in the incubator will be wasted; if the container is not used and the plates are stacked in the incubator, the workload of flipping through the plates will increase, and plates of different dates are easily confused, resulting in errors in reports. Therefore, the plate storage frames currently used in clinical practice cannot fully meet the loading and storage needs of different numbers of plate cultures used in clinical and scientific research work.

[0028] The following embodiments are implemented based on the above technical solution of the utility model, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0030] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Example

[0031] The technical problem to be solved by this embodiment is: how to place specimen containers of different specifications firmly in the separation chamber. In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the utility model is to provide a storage device suitable for microbial specimen containers of multiple specifications.

[0032] In terms of overall structure, Figure 1-4 As shown, the storage device comprises an inner frame 1 and an outer frame 2. The inner frame 1 and the outer frame 2 are slidably connected to form a rectangular telescopic frame structure.

[0033] One side and the top of the inner frame 1 and the outer frame 2 are both provided with openings, and the inner frame 1 and the outer frame 2 are slidably connected to each other through the side openings and together form a telescopic frame structure.

[0034] A slide groove 201 is provided on the upper side of the outer frame 2 along the sliding direction, and the slide groove 201 is a waist-shaped through-hole groove. A slide rod 101 is correspondingly provided at the front end of the inner frame 1 along the sliding direction. The slide rod 101 vertically penetrates the slide groove 201 and can slide along the length direction of the slide groove 201, thereby adjusting the size of the frame structure to meet the loading, cultivation and storage of different numbers of microbial plates.

[0035] The slide rod 101 is a threaded rod, with an inner limit platform 1011 at the inner end and an outer limit platform 1012 screwed on the outer end. The inner limit platform 1011 and the outer limit platform 1012 are both cylindrical, and their sizes are larger than the hole height of the slide groove 201. The outer edge of the outer limit platform 1012 is provided with multiple anti-slip ridges along the circumferential direction. By screwing the outer limit platform 1012, the slide groove 201 can be clamped from the inside and outside, thereby fixing the inner frame 1 and the outer frame 2, so that the frame structure is fixed.

[0036] More specifically, in terms of divisional structure:

[0037] 1) Frame 2: Figure 7 As shown, it is a four-sided stainless steel frame structure composed of a grid grid and lacking a side surface and a top surface, and a rectangular through hole is provided on the middle side surface as a handle 3; the top edges of the two oppositely arranged side surfaces each have a slide groove structure;

[0038] 2) Inner frame 1: Figure 5 As shown, it is a four-sided stainless steel frame structure composed of a grid, lacking one side and top surface, with a rectangular through hole on the middle side as a handle 3; there is a bolt at each of the front top corners of the two oppositely arranged side surfaces. The diameter of the bolt head is larger than the width of the outer frame slide groove, and the diameter of the bolt body is slightly smaller than the width of the outer frame slide groove, so that the bolt can pass through the outer frame slide groove and slide along the slide groove. The bolt nut is located on the outside of the outer frame 2 and is screwed on the bolt. The diameter is larger than the width of the outer frame 2 slide groove. By tightening, the relative position of the inner and outer frames is fixed, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 shown.

[0039] Its advantages are:

[0040] 1. The structure is breathable and light: the whole is composed of a grid, which is conducive to temperature conduction and microbial cultivation in the incubator; it is light in weight, which is conducive to the transportation of microbial plates;

[0041] 2. Adjustable width: The width of the device can be adjusted from half the length to the full length of the incubator, so that up to two devices can be placed on one layer of the incubator. This is conducive to the cultivation and storage of different numbers of microbial plates in daily life. At the same time, the handle is directly set on the side of the device to further save space.

[0042] Working process

[0043] When in use, the outer limit table 1012 can be loosened on the slide bar 101, and the inner frame 1 can be partially pulled out of the outer frame 2 to a suitable width, and then the flat plate can be placed and arranged densely. Then, according to the assembly size of the flat plate, the width of the inner frame 1 can be carefully adjusted to the minimum size suitable for the needs, and the outer limit table 1012 can be tightened to fix it, and then the device can be placed in the incubator for culture.
