Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of laboratory equipment, and particularly relates to a low-speed vortex mixer. Background Art
[0002] For immune detection items, such as anti-neutrophil antibody ANCA, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-nuclear antibody ANA, etc., the disposable immune hoses (specifications 5mL, 10mL) used need to shake the samples after dilution, and these hoses have no lids. The existing method is to place the hoses in a tube rack and shake the tube rack as a whole by hand or a shaker; shaking by hand has problems of insufficient mixing and easy fatigue when the sample volume is large, while the shaker shakes horizontally, and the sample mixing effect is not good.
[0003] If the bottom corners of the tube rack are successively placed on the vortex mixer for shaking, the mixing effect is relatively better than that of shaking by hand or a shaker; however, since the hoses have no lids, the liquid in the tubes is likely to splash onto the tube wall or splash out of the tubes during the shaking process, causing sample contamination and affecting the accuracy of subsequent test results; moreover, the used tube rack is relatively high and not compatible with the fixture of the vortex mixer. The tube rack is relatively high, and the tube rack needs to be held by hand during shaking, and the hoses are likely to shake, resulting in the splashing of the solution in the tubes.
[0004] In summary, it is necessary to design a vortex mixer suitable for immune detection items. Content of the Utility Model

A low-speed vortex mixer includes a main body, a fixture provided on the main body, and further includes: a clamping assembly, including a clamping rod provided on the side of the fixture; a hook, provided at a position of the clamping rod away from the fixture; the clamping rod is vertically upward, and its height is equal to the height of the used tube rack; the hook can be inserted into the tube rack to fix it.
[0006] Further, two groups of the clamping assemblies are provided and are respectively arranged on the side edges of the diagonal corners of the fixture.
[0007] Further, four groups of the clamping assemblies are provided and are respectively arranged on the side edges of the four corners of the fixture.
[0008] Further, the hook is of a closed-end structure, and the end non-connected to the clamping rod is made of an elastic material.
[0009] Further, the clamping rod is hinged to the fixture so that the clamping rod can be folded in the length or width direction of the fixture.
[0010] Further, a slot is provided in the length or width direction of the fixture; the clamping rod can be folded into the slot; the slot is of a closed-end structure and is made of an elastic material.

[0023] To facilitate a better understanding of the present utility model, it is illustrated by the following examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These examples fall within the protection scope of the present utility model, but do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A low-speed vortex mixer, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, includes a main unit 1, a fixture 11 provided on the main unit 1, and further includes: a clamping assembly 2, including a clamping rod 21 provided on the side of the fixture 11; a hook 22 provided at a position of the clamping rod 21 away from the fixture 11; the clamping rod 21 is arranged vertically upward, and the height is equal to the height of the pipe rack used; the hook 22 can be inserted into the pipe rack to fix it.
[0026] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 shown, two groups of clamping assemblies 2 are provided and are respectively arranged on the diagonal sides of the fixture 11.
[0027] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 shown, four groups of clamping assemblies 2 are provided and are respectively arranged on the side edges of the four corners of the fixture 11.
[0028] The clamping rod is arranged on the side of the fixture and is vertical upward.
[0029] When the main unit operates, it can drive the fixture to rotate. The rotation can be reciprocating within a certain angle or circular.
[0030] A suction cup is provided at the bottom of the main unit. When in use, the suction cup can adsorb the experimental table to ensure that the position of the main unit will not shift due to vibration during operation; a display screen 12 and buttons are provided on the main unit. The display screen can be used to display parameters such as the running time and running speed, and the buttons can be used to adjust parameters such as the rotation speed and running time.
[0031] The hook is used to clamp the pipe rack, and a card hole can be provided at the position of the hook corresponding to the pipe rack so that the hook can be inserted into the card hole to fix the pipe rack.
[0032] The hook provided on the clamping rod can be used to clamp the upper end of the pipe rack; in this way, combined with the fixture, the upper and lower clamping of the pipe rack can be realized. When the vortex mixer is running, the pipe rack can run with the fixture without shaking, avoiding the problem that the solution in the pipe splashes onto the pipe wall or outside the pipe. Moreover, it does not require manual support, saving manpower and improving efficiency.
[0033] During use, first insert the bottom of the pipe rack into the fixture, and then hook the hook on the clamping rod into the corresponding position of the pipe rack to fix the pipe rack; start the vortex mixer, and the operation of the main machine drives the fixture to run, so as to mix the solution in the hose in the pipe rack; after mixing is completed, turn off the main machine, remove the hook from the pipe rack, and then remove the pipe rack from the fixture; repeat the operation in this way to complete the mixing operation of all samples.
[0034] Since the hose has no lid, the rotation speed of the used vortex mixer cannot be too high to avoid the solution in the pipe splashing onto the pipe wall or outside the pipe during operation; the running speed of the main machine is generally controlled within 500 rpm / s to prevent the solution in the pipe from splashing.
[0035] Embodiment 2
[0036] The vortex mixer of the present application also has the following technical features:
[0037] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, the hook 22 is of a closed-mouth structure, and the end that is not connected to the clamping rod 21 is made of an elastic material.
[0038] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, the clamping rod 21 is hinged to the fixture 11 so that the clamping rod 21 can be folded in the length or width direction of the fixture 11.
[0039] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a clamping groove 13 is provided in the length or width direction of the fixture 11; the clamping rod 21 can be folded into the clamping groove 13; the clamping groove 13 is of a closed-mouth structure and is made of an elastic material. Since the pipe rack has a certain height, a plurality of hooks can be provided in the length direction of the clamping rod, and each hook is respectively hooked into the corresponding position of the pipe rack, and the pipe rack is fixed by the combined use of a plurality of hooks.
[0040] The hook is of a closed-mouth structure and has a certain elasticity, which is convenient for the hook to be hooked into the hook hole at the corresponding position on the pipe rack, and the closed-mouth structure can prevent the hook from loosening from the hook hole during operation; the structure of the hook is conventional and is mainly used to clamp the pipe rack.
[0041] The hook and the clamping rod can be connected in a movable manner. When the clamping rod needs to be retracted into the clamping groove, the hook can be loosened so that it faces the length direction of the clamping rod, which is convenient for storage; during use, when the hook is hooked into the hook hole on the pipe rack, the hook and the clamping rod are fixed to avoid loosening; the specific movable connection method can be screw connection, etc.
[0042] During use, successively hook the hooks on each clamping rod into the clamping holes at the corresponding positions of the pipe rack to clamp and fix it, then start the main machine for mixing operation; after completion, turn off the main machine, take out each hook from the clamping hole on the pipe rack one by one, and then remove the pipe rack; if there are still samples to be used, repeat the above operations; after all samples are processed, the clamping rod can be folded and clamped into the card slot.
[0043] Embodiment 3
[0044] The vortex mixer of the present application also has the following technical features:
[0045] As Figures 4 - 5 shown, the clamping assembly 2 further includes: a receiving groove 23, which is open at the top and is arranged along the length direction of the clamping rod 21; an adjusting rod 24, one end of which is clamped in the receiving groove 23 and the other end is connected to the hook 22; the adjusting rod 24 and the clamping rod 21 are telescopically connected so that the adjusting rod 24 can be retracted into or extended out of the receiving groove 23.
[0046] Since the heights of hoses of different specifications are different, and the sizes of the pipe racks used may also be different, the provided adjusting rod can be telescopically adjusted relative to the length direction of the clamping rod to meet the actual use requirements and improve the applicability; when the adjusting rod is not in use, it can be retracted into the receiving groove for storage, and then the clamping rod can be folded and clamped into the card slot.
