Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food detection devices, specifically referring to a test tube oscillation device for food detection. Background Art

[0002] Food detection plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety. By conducting various tests on food, it is possible to promptly detect harmful substances, microbial contamination, and whether the nutritional components meet the standards in food, effectively safeguarding the health of consumers. Food detection encompasses multiple links, including sample collection, pretreatment, and analysis and detection. In these links, test tubes are often used to mix and react reagents.

[0003] During the food detection process, test tube oscillation is a commonly used operation method. It can fully mix the samples and reagents in the test tube, accelerate the reaction speed, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection. By oscillating the test tube, the components in the sample can be more evenly distributed in the reagent for better subsequent detection and analysis.

[0004] Traditional test tube oscillation equipment is usually of a fixed height and cannot adapt to test tubes of different heights. In actual detection, since different detection items may require test tubes of different specifications, and traditional equipment cannot be adjusted according to the height of the test tube, it brings many inconveniences to the detection work.

A guide rod 8 for driving the test tube to oscillate is inserted and connected to the side of the installation plate 7. A ring 9 for sleeving the bottom of the test tube is fixedly arranged on the guide rod 8 corresponding to each collar 6. The inner diameter of the ring 9 is smaller than the inner diameter of the collar 6. A cam driving mechanism for driving the guide rod 8 to reciprocate is fixedly arranged on the other side of the installation plate 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the sliding assembly 3 includes a linear guide rail 10 vertically fixed on the side of the vertical plate 2. A slider 11 is slidably arranged on the linear guide rail 10. The test tube carrier plate 4 is fixedly arranged on the side of the slider 11.

[0038] 3. Start oscillation: Turn on the motor 14. The motor 14 drives the eccentric wheel 15 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 15 pushes the baffle 16, causing the guide rod 8 to make a reciprocating motion. The circular ring 9 on the guide rod 8 drives the test tubes to oscillate, and the collar 6 rotates in the test tube placement hole 5 to assist the test tubes in oscillating.

[0039] 4. End the operation: When the samples and reagents in the test tubes are fully mixed, turn off the motor 14 and take out the test tubes for subsequent food detection operations.
