Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of incubators, in particular to a reagent card incubator. Background Art

[0002] Incubation, also known as "constant temperature incubation", is a stage in biomedical and chemical experiments that generates biological or chemical reactions. Incubation can accelerate and make the biological or chemical reactions more sufficient.

[0003] A reagent card incubator can be used to incubate some enzyme reactions that require a specific temperature (such as the reaction of trypsin-like protease with Nα-benzoyl-DL-arginine-β-naphthylamide), and can monitor the temperature of the reagent card incubation area in real time to ensure that the reagent card is incubated under constant temperature conditions. Common components of an incubator include a box body, a temperature module, a heating module, and a detection reagent card slot. When in use, the reagent card after sample application is inserted into the card slot, and the reagent card is located in the surrounding constant temperature incubation area for constant temperature incubation.

[0004] After retrieval, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN209727964U discloses a reagent card intelligent incubator, which includes at least one socket provided on the front end face of the housing, and a heating unit is provided inside the housing at the socket. The end of the reagent card inserted from the socket enters the heating unit, and the heating unit can adjust the temperature and heat the reagent card. This application uses a grating to detect each reagent card to ensure its normal insertion state, but the grating can only judge the presence or absence of the reagent card and cannot maintain its stable insertion state, so it cannot provide stable support for the constant temperature incubation process; in addition, there is a partially exposed part in the insertion state of the reagent card, and if this exposed part is accidentally touched, it will also cause the phenomenon of unstable incubation process. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model aims to provide a reagent card incubator, and the main technical problem to be solved is how to improve the stability of the constant temperature incubation process.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0007] A reagent card incubator includes an incubator. A plurality of card slots for inserting reagent cards are opened at the top of the incubator, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are opened at the back of the incubator. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the incubator outside the card slots. Inside the fixing frame, a cover plate is provided at the top of each card slot. A connecting ring is provided on the cover plate for opening and closing the cover plate and limiting the reagent card. A sealing plug is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring for blocking the card slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate includes a first plate body and a second plate body, the first plate body is rotatably connected to the top end of the second plate body through a damping shaft, and the second plate body is rotatably connected to an inner wall of one side of the fixed frame through the damping shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, openings are provided on both sides of the main body of the first plate body, and a connecting ring passes through the first plate body at the two openings. The connecting ring is in a rectangular ring shape, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the first plate body away from the sealing plug.

[0010] Furthermore, two ribs are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the connecting ring at one end close to the sealing plug. The two ribs on both sides are symmetrical, and the material of the ribs and the protrusions are rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, a mesh is provided on the back of the incubator outside the heat dissipation holes, and connecting buckles are fixedly connected at the four corners between the mesh and the incubator.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting buckle includes a sub-buckle and a mother buckle, and the sub-buckle and the mother buckle are fixedly connected to the mesh and the incubator respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, connecting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame, threaded holes are opened on the plate bodies of the two connecting plates, and the two connecting plates are threadedly connected to bolts at the two threaded holes respectively, and one end of the two bolts is fixedly connected to a rubber gasket.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. When the device is in use, the cover plate can be opened by the connecting ring to expose the card slot, and then the first plate body can be bent and the connecting ring can be pushed to form a ring body above the card slot to play a limiting role. Therefore, when the reagent card is inserted from the inner side of the connecting ring, the clamping and limiting role of the reagent card by the ribs can ensure the stability of its insertion state, and at the same time, it can also resist the influence of accidental touch on the reagent card. In addition, when the incubator is used, the cover plate can be moved to cover the card slot, and the connecting ring can be pushed to make the sealing plug seal the card slot, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the card slot. In this state, the exposed part of the connecting ring at the top of the cover plate can become a pull ring for opening the cover plate, so it is convenient to use.

[0016] 2. By setting a mesh cloth outside the heat dissipation holes on the back of the incubator, the mesh cloth can filter the air, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the internal space of the incubator. Since the mesh cloth is installed on the outer wall of the incubator through a connecting buckle, when there is a need for heat dissipation during the use of the incubator, the heat dissipation holes can be directly exposed by lifting the mesh cloth to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the incubator;

[0017] 3. By setting bolts, the fixed frame can be installed without traces and detachably using the bolts. Therefore, without affecting the original functions and usage methods of the incubator, a function of maintaining the stable insertion state of the reagent card can be provided for it, thereby ensuring the usage effect of the incubator.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Referring to the attached Figures 1-3 , the present application provides a reagent card incubator, including an incubator 1. A plurality of card slots 101 for inserting reagent cards are opened at the top of the incubator 1, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes 102 are opened at the back of the incubator 1. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the incubator 1 outside the card slots 101. The fixing frame 2 can be fixedly connected to the incubator 1 in a detachable manner such as by bonding or screws. Inside the fixing frame 2, a cover plate 4 is provided at the top of each card slot 101. The cover plate 4 is used to close the card slot 101 to ensure its cleanliness when not in use. A connecting ring 3 is provided on the cover plate 4. The connecting ring 3 is used for opening and closing the cover plate 4 and limiting the reagent card. A sealing plug 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring 3. The sealing plug 5 is used to block the card slot 101. The connecting ring 3 has two functions. Firstly, when the cover plate 4 is in the open state, the connecting ring 3 can be pushed above the card slot 101. At this time, when the reagent card is inserted from the inside of the connecting ring 3, it can play a supporting effect, thereby maintaining the stability of the inserted state of the reagent card and avoiding the influence on the incubation process due to accidental touch. Secondly, when the cover plate 4 is closed and the sealing plug 5 blocks the card slot 101, a part of the ring body of the connecting ring 3 will be on the top of the cover plate 4. At this time, this part of the ring body can become a pull ring for conveniently opening the cover plate 4, thereby ensuring the convenience of use.

[0028] Preferably, the cover plate 4 includes a first plate body 401 and a second plate body 402. The first plate body 401 is rotatably connected to the top of the second plate body 402 through a damping rotating shaft. The second plate body 402 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the fixing frame 2 through a damping rotating shaft. After the cover plate 4 is opened, the second plate body 402 can be toggled to an inclined state, and then the first plate body 401 can be toggled to a vertical state. After that, by adjusting the position of the connecting ring 3, it is easier to judge whether it is above the card slot 101. During this process, the two damping rotating shafts will maintain the states of the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402 through friction to support the reagent card. The length of the first plate body 401 is less than the length of the second plate body 402.

[0029] Preferably, openings are provided on both sides of the main body of the first plate body 401. The connecting ring 3 penetrates the first plate body 401 at the two openings. The connecting ring 3 is in a rectangular ring shape. The connecting ring 3 can move at the two openings. During this process, the protrusion 6 and the rib 301 can limit the maximum moving distances of the connecting ring 3 in the two moving directions respectively, so that the connecting ring 3 will not move to a state where it fits too tightly with the surface of the first plate body 401. A protrusion 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the first plate body 401 away from the sealing plug 5.

[0030] Preferably, two ribs 301 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the connecting ring 3 at one end close to the sealing plug 5. The two ribs 301 on both sides are symmetrical, and the material of the protrusion 6 is rubber. The ribs 301 made of rubber material can further clamp the reagent card, thereby further maintaining its stability in the inserted state.

[0031] Preferably, a mesh 8 is provided on the back side of the incubator 1 outside the heat dissipation hole 102, and connecting buckles 7 are fixedly connected at the four corners between the mesh 8 and the incubator 1. The connecting buckles 7 are parent and child buckles, including a child buckle and a mother buckle. The child buckle and the mother buckle are respectively fixedly connected to the mesh 8 and the incubator 1. The mesh 8 can filter the air at the heat dissipation hole 102, and when the incubator 1 has a larger heat dissipation demand, the mesh 8 can be lifted up after the connecting buckle 7 is separated. At this time, the heat dissipation hole 102 will be directly exposed, so the heat dissipation efficiency of the incubator 1 can be guaranteed.

[0032] Working principle: When using the incubator 1, first use the connecting ring 3 to pull open the cover plate 4 to make it tilted, so that the card slot 101 can be exposed, and then move the first plate 401 to bend it to a vertical state, and push the connecting ring 3 to be directly above the card slot 101. In this case, the reagent card can be inserted from the inner side of the connecting ring 3 and enter the card slot 101. Then start the incubator 1 to perform the constant temperature incubation process;

[0033] In this process, the ribs 301 can clamp and limit the reagent card, so that the stability of the reagent card in the inserted state can be maintained. In addition, the mesh 8 can also filter the air for the incubator 1 in the above process, so that the cleanliness of the inside of the incubator 1 can be ensured. If the incubator 1 has a heat dissipation requirement, the mesh 8 can be opened to directly expose the heat dissipation holes 102, so as to ensure its heat dissipation effect.

[0034] After the incubator 1 is used, the reagent card can be pulled upward in the connecting ring 3 to remove it from the incubator 1, and then the first plate 401 can be moved again to deflect it to be flush with the second plate 402, and the reagent card can be removed; thereafter, the connecting ring 3 can be pulled to make the sealing plug 5 approach the cover plate 4, and then the cover plate 4 can be covered on the card slot 101, and finally, the connecting ring 3 can be pressed downward slightly to allow the sealing plug 5 to seal the card slot 101. In this state, the connecting ring 3, the ring body part at the top of the cover plate 4 will become a pull ring for opening the cover plate 4, so as to facilitate use.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Refer to the attached Figure 4, this application provides a reagent card incubator. Compared with Embodiment 1, in order not to affect the original usage mode and effect of the incubator, connection pieces 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame 2. Threaded through holes are formed in the bodies of the two connection pieces 9, and bolts 10 are respectively threadedly connected to the two connection pieces 9 at the two threaded through holes. Rubber gaskets are fixedly connected to one ends of the two bolts 10. The fixed frame 2 can be installed in a traceless and detachable manner through the bolts 10. Therefore, it is not necessary to make further improvements and treatments to the incubator 1, and thus the original usage mode and effect of the incubator 1 will not be affected.

[0037] Working principle: The fixed frame 2 can be fixedly installed on the incubator 1 in a detachable manner through the bolts 10, and the fixed frame 2 will not interfere with or affect the insertion and use of the reagent card. Instead, it will provide an effect of maintaining the stable insertion state of the reagent card. Therefore, the usage effect of the incubator 1 can be guaranteed.

[0038] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
