Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orifice plate sorting, in particular to an orifice plate receiving adapter slot of a flow sorter. Background Art

[0002] The orifice plate adapter in the sorting chamber of the Moflo Astrios EQ flow sorter is designed to be larger in size (to accommodate receiving plates of all manufacturers and different specifications and models). It is suitable for the sorter's orifice plate receiving adapter and any specifications and models of card slot auxiliary equipment. During sorting, the receiving plate and adapter move automatically, which will cause the receiving plate to move and inaccurate sorting. Therefore, the receiving plate needs to be fixed in the 90-degree curved card slot designed on the adapter. It can be used for a long time, can be sterilized, can be flexibly taken, and can be changed in size at will.

[0003] The problems existing in the current device are as follows: there is a certain gap between the well plate and the adapter. During sorting, since it moves automatically, punching cells into the well plate will cause the set position memory to change and the sorting to be inaccurate. Therefore, an auxiliary device needs to be added to fix the well plate and the adapter so that the well plate cannot move at will.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed a well plate receiving adapter slot for the flow sorter to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hole plate receiving adapter slot for a flow sorter, so as to solve the problem in the background art that there is a certain gap between the existing hole plate and the adapter, which causes inaccurate sorting due to automatic movement during sorting.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a well plate receiving adapter slot of a flow sorter, comprising a well plate adapter, an EP plate placed on the top of the well plate adapter, a well plate embedded and slidably connected to the top of the EP plate, a plurality of connecting components symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the well plate adapter, each of the connecting components abutting against a corner of the EP plate;

[0007] The connecting assembly includes a plurality of first fixing plates and a second fixing plate, each of the first fixing plates is fixedly connected to the top corner of the orifice plate adapter, and each of the second fixing plates is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the orifice plate. Each of the first fixing plates and the second fixing plates is an L-shaped structure and is made of iron material;

[0008] Or the connecting assembly includes multiple first fixing plates, second fixing plates and springs, one end of each spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixing plate, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second fixing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided at the top of the EP plate, a placement groove is provided at the top of the EP plate, the orifice plate is a box-shaped structure, and the orifice plate is slidingly connected to the side wall of the mounting groove; a plurality of storage tubes are fixedly connected through the top of the orifice plate, each of the storage tubes is flush with the surface of the orifice plate, and each of the storage tubes is located inside the placement groove.

[0010] Preferably, the magnet is adsorbed on the adjacent side wall of the second fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, each of the second fixing plates is in contact with a corner of the EP plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. By making multiple second fixing plates adsorbed together under the magnetic effect of magnets, the second fixing plates can be removed one by one according to the gap between the EP plate and the orifice plate adapter. If the gap is large, the second fixing plates are added one by one. If the gap is too small, the second fixing plates are removed one by one until they contact the four corners of the EP plate, so that there is no gap between the two. This solves the problem of inaccurate sorting caused by the automatic movement during sorting due to a certain gap between the existing orifice plate and the adapter.

[0014] 2. After placing the EP plate on the orifice plate adapter, loosen the four second fixing plates, and push the second fixing plates inward under the elastic action of the spring, so that the four second fixing plates are respectively in contact with the four corners of the EP plate, stably fixing the EP plate so that there is no gap between the two. When sorting, the position is adjusted and the orifice plate position does not change when it moves automatically, making the sorting more accurate, improving the accuracy of the sorting process and the practicality of the device.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 The orifice plate receiving adapter slot of the flow sorter includes a orifice plate adapter 1, an EP plate 2 is placed on the top of the orifice plate adapter 1, a orifice plate 3 is embedded in the top of the EP plate 2 and is slidably connected, and a plurality of connecting components 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the orifice plate adapter 1, and each connecting component 4 is in contact with the corner of the EP plate 2.

[0025] An installation groove 21 is provided at the top of the EP plate 2, and a placement groove 22 is provided at the top of the EP plate 2. The orifice plate 3 is a box-shaped structure, and the orifice plate 3 is slidingly connected to the side wall of the installation groove 21; a plurality of storage tubes 31 are fixedly connected through the top of the orifice plate 3, each storage tube 31 is flush with the surface of the orifice plate 3, and each storage tube 31 is located inside the placement groove 22. The EP plate 2 is used to support the orifice plate 3 to improve the stability of the orifice plate 3.

[0026] The connecting assembly 4 includes a plurality of first fixing plates 41 and second fixing plates 42. Each first fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the top corner of the orifice plate adapter 1. Each first fixing plate 41 and second fixing plate 42 is an L-shaped structure and is made of iron.

[0027] A magnet 44 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of each second fixing plate 42 , and the magnet 44 is attracted to the adjacent side wall of the second fixing plate 42 .

[0028] In this embodiment, when in use, the orifice plate 3 is first slid along the mounting groove 21 so that the orifice plate 3 covers the EP plate 2, so that the storage tube 31 is located inside the placement groove 22. The orifice plate 3 and the EP plate 2 cooperate to place the orifice plate 3 on the EP plate 2. The EP plate 2 supports the orifice plate 3, thereby improving the stability of the orifice plate 3 and preventing the orifice plate 3 from tipping over and causing damage. Then, the EP plate 2 is placed on the orifice plate adapter 1.

[0029] Under the magnetic effect of the magnet 44, the multiple second fixing plates 42 are attracted to each other, so that the second fixing plates 42 can be removed one by one according to the gap between the EP plate 2 and the well plate adapter 1. If the gap is large, the second fixing plates 42 are added one by one. If the gap is too small, the second fixing plates 42 are removed one by one until they contact the four corners of the EP plate 2, so that there is no gap between the two, and the EP plate 2 is stably fixed. Finally, the cells are injected into the storage tube 31 in the well plate 3, which solves the problem of inaccurate sorting caused by the automatic movement during sorting due to a certain gap between the existing well plate 3 and the well plate adapter 1.

[0030] Example 2: This example is an improvement made on the basis of Example 1. For details, please refer to Figure 5 - Figure 7 The orifice plate receiving adapter slot of the flow sorter includes an orifice plate adapter 1, which is characterized in that an EP plate 2 is placed on the top of the orifice plate adapter 1, and an orifice plate 3 is embedded in the top of the EP plate 2 and slidably connected. A plurality of connecting components 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the orifice plate adapter 1, and each connecting component 4 is in contact with the corner of the EP plate 2.

[0031] An installation groove 21 is provided at the top of the EP plate 2, and a placement groove 22 is provided at the top of the EP plate 2. The orifice plate 3 is a box-shaped structure, and the orifice plate 3 is slidingly connected to the side wall of the installation groove 21; a plurality of storage tubes 31 are fixedly connected through the top of the orifice plate 3, each storage tube 31 is flush with the surface of the orifice plate 3, and each storage tube 31 is located inside the placement groove 22.

[0032] Or the connecting assembly 4 includes a first fixing plate 41, a second fixing plate 42 and a spring 43, one end of each spring 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixing plate 41, and the other end of each spring 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second fixing plate 42; each second fixing plate 42 is in contact with the corner of the EP plate 2.

[0033] In this embodiment: after the well plate 3 is covered on the EP plate 2, the four second fixing plates 42 are pulled outward. During this process, the spring 43 is in a compressed state. After the EP plate 2 is placed on the well plate adapter 1, the four second fixing plates 42 are released. Under the elastic action of the spring 43, the second fixing plates 42 are pushed inward, so that the four second fixing plates 42 are respectively in contact with the four corners of the EP plate 2, and the EP plate 2 is stably fixed. Finally, the cells are injected into the storage tube 31 in the well plate 3; the spring 43 is used to increase the thrust on the second fixing plates 42, so that the fixing effect of the second fixing plates 42 on the EP plate 2 is stable, and the first fixing plates 41 and the second fixing plates 42 are set to an L-shaped structure, so that they are more closely fitted with the corners of the EP plate 2, increasing the contact surface to improve the stabilization effect.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, first slide the well plate 3 along the mounting groove 21 to cover the well plate 3 on the EP plate 2, so that the storage tube 31 is located inside the placement groove 22. Then, according to the gap between the EP plate 2 and the well plate adapter 1, remove the second fixing plates 42 one by one. If the gap is large, add the second fixing plates 42 one by one. If the gap is too small, remove the second fixing plates 42 one by one until they contact the four corners of the EP plate 2, thereby stably fixing the EP plate 2. Finally, the cells are injected into the storage tube 31 in the well plate 3.

[0035] During use, another set of fixing methods is: after covering the well plate 3 on the EP plate 2, the four second fixing plates 42 are pushed outward so that each second fixing plate 42 is close to the first fixing plate 41, so as to facilitate the placement of the EP plate 2 on the well plate adapter 1, and then the four second fixing plates 42 are loosened. Under the elastic action of the spring 43, the second fixing plates 42 are pushed inward, so that the four second fixing plates 42 are respectively in contact with the four corners of the EP plate 2, thereby stably fixing the EP plate 2, and finally the cells are injected into the storage tube 31 in the well plate 3.
