[0002] Gel imagers are mainly used for imaging and analyzing protein and nucleic acid gels. The gel is irradiated by a light source device, an image is captured by image capture software, and finally the image is analyzed.

[0003] As shown in the application document with the publication number CN217586930U in the prior art, it includes a gel imager body and an adjusting device; the adjusting device includes a transverse guide rail, a transverse slider, a transverse lead screw, a first driving motor, a longitudinal guide rail, a longitudinal lead screw, a longitudinal slider, a second driving motor and a placement seat. There are two transverse guide rails, two transverse sliders, which are respectively arranged on the two transverse guide rails, two longitudinal guide rails, two longitudinal sliders, which are respectively arranged on the two longitudinal guide rails. The gel is placed on the placement seat. The first driving motor drives the transverse lead screw to rotate and drives the placement seat to move horizontally. The second driving motor drives the longitudinal lead screw to rotate, and then drives the placement seat to move longitudinally, so as to realize that when the door of the gel imager body is closed, the gel can be adjusted in position according to the shooting needs, achieving the purpose of saving time.

[0004] However, the adjusting device in the above technical solution occupies a large space and has a complex structure, which will increase the construction cost of the overall structure and the later maintenance cost. At the same time, this technical solution only has the movement in the front, back, left and right four directions, and cannot move between adjacent two directions according to the use requirements, and also cannot perform multi-directional and multi-angle adjustment, resulting in certain limitations of this technical solution. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Therefore, the embodiment of the utility model provides an adjustable gel imager to solve the problem that the prior art increases the construction cost and the later maintenance cost due to the large space occupation and complex structure of this technical solution.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the embodiment of the utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes an imager body, and an adjusting component for multi-directional adjustment is arranged inside the imager body;

[0007] The adjustment component includes a fixed shell which is installed inside the imager body. A fixed shaft is provided at the top of the fixed shell. The bottom end of the fixed shaft is movably connected to the top of the fixed shell through a bearing. A fixing plate is installed at the top end of the fixed shaft. A groove is formed at the top of the fixing plate. A threaded rod is arranged inside the groove. Both the front and rear ends of the threaded rod are movably connected to the inner wall of the groove through bearings. A connecting seat is threadedly connected to the outer part of the rear end of the threaded rod. A storage plate is provided at the top of the connecting seat. A functional component for adjusting the angle of the storage plate is provided at the top of the connecting seat.

At the same time, the storage plate on the movable plate can also be driven by a third motor to rotate and adjust. In this way, 360-degree multi-directional and multi-angle adjustment of the storage plate can be realized, improving the practicability of the present utility model. Moreover, the overall structure is simple and the cost can be effectively reduced.

[0008] Further, the functional component includes a movable plate which is installed at the bottom of the storage plate. A movable hole is formed through the top of the connecting seat. The bottom end of the movable plate extends into the movable hole. Both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the movable plate are movably connected to the inside of the movable hole through rotating shafts. Through the connection between the movable plate and the storage plate, the movable plate can drive the storage plate to perform rotational adjustment.

[0009] Further, a first motor is arranged inside the fixed shell. The first motor is installed inside the imager body. The output shaft of the first motor penetrates the fixed shell and is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed shaft. Through the connection between the first motor and the fixed shaft, the first motor can drive the fixing plate on the fixed shaft to perform multi-directional adjustment.

[0012] Further, the cross-section of the connecting seat and the cross-section of the groove are both set to be rectangular. The outside of the connecting seat is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. By setting the cross-section of the connecting seat and the cross-section of the groove to be rectangular, the groove can limit the connecting seat and make the connecting seat move horizontally, ensuring the stability of the connecting seat during movement and avoiding the situation of deviation.

[0013] Furthermore, dust-proof nets are embedded on both sides of the fixed housing. Through the arrangement of the dust-proof nets, air can circulate inside the fixed housing, preventing heat from accumulating and affecting the heat dissipation of the first motor.

[0014] Furthermore, a sealing door is hinged to the front side of the imager body, and a handle is installed on the front side of the sealing door. Through the arrangement of the sealing door, the imager body can be blocked and closed. At the same time, with the connection between the handle and the sealing door, the staff can operate the handle to drive the sealing door to rotate.

[0015] Furthermore, a support ring is sleeved outside the storage plate, and electric push rods are installed at the bottoms of both ends of the support ring. The tops of the two electric push rods extend to the top of the support ring, and a support member is installed at the tops of the two electric push rods. A porous cutter is installed at the bottom end of the support member. By the contraction of the electric push rods, the porous cutter on the support member can be driven to move down into the storage plate, so that the porous cutter can cut the gel in the storage plate.

[0016] The embodiments of the present utility model have the following advantages:

[0017] The first motor drives the fixed plate to perform multi-directional adjustment around the fixed axis by degrees. Then, the second motor drives the threaded rod to drive the connecting seat limited by the groove to move horizontally.
