Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of freeze-drying trays, in particular to a freeze-drying tray with a separation component. Background Art

[0002] Freeze drying, also known as vacuum freeze drying, specifically involves pre-freezing the freeze-dried material so that the water in the freeze-dried material forms ice. The material is then dried by gradually increasing the temperature in the vacuum environment of the freeze dryer to allow the water to sublime. In existing technologies, small-scale freeze drying typically requires the use of freeze-drying trays to hold the material, but existing freeze-drying trays still have certain drawbacks when used.

[0003] For example, a freely modular freeze-drying tray with announcement number CN218368893U is provided with buckles around the outer side of the tray body. The buckles are a nested structure composed of irregular inward and outward concave and outward convex parts, and the buckles on both sides and both ends are complementary structures. Combined with the through holes designed on both sides of the top and bottom, the upper and lower sides can be freely combined according to needs, which increases flexibility and practicality. The connection is firm and not easy to fall off. It can be freely disassembled and combined according to the plate layer size or test requirements of different freeze-drying machines, which is convenient for transportation during the preparation process of freeze-dried products and collection of products after freeze-drying. The free combination of multiple specifications of apertures can be used for the same test and test requirements of different specifications, and has a wide applicability.

[0004] In actual use of this type of freeze-drying tray, due to the provision of snaps around the tray, the tray can be combined and connected in the horizontal direction, but it is difficult to stack it in the vertical direction, resulting in inconvenience in transportation. In addition, some freeze-dried materials may fall during transfer and stick to the inner wall of the through-holes. There are many through-holes, and cleaning them one by one will result in a lot of work.

[0005] In response to the above problems, it is urgent to carry out innovative design based on the original equipment. Therefore, we proposed a freeze-drying tray with a partition component that can well solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a freeze-drying tray with a partition assembly to solve the problem raised in the above-mentioned background art that during the actual use of such freeze-drying trays, due to the arrangement of snap fasteners on all sides, the trays can be combined and connected in the horizontal direction, but it is difficult to stack them in the vertical direction, resulting in inconvenience in transportation. In addition, during the transfer, some freeze-dried materials may fall off and adhere to the inner walls of the through holes. Since there are many through holes, cleaning them one by one will result in a large workload.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a freeze-drying tray with a partition assembly, comprising a tray body, wherein the outer walls of the tray body are all fixedly connected with buckles;

[0008] The top of the tray body is provided with a placement slot, and the bottom end of the tray body is fixedly connected to a stabilizing seat, and the length, width and thickness dimensions of the stabilizing seat correspond to the length, width and thickness dimensions of the placement slot. The inner wall of the tray body is located at the bottom end of the placement slot and is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of first through holes and second through holes for placing connecting tubes of different specifications. When the tray bodies need to be stacked up and down, the stacking stability can be increased by clamping the placement slot and the stabilizing seat, and a certain distance is left between the bottom end of the placement slot and the top end of the fixing plate to accommodate the portion of the connecting tube top exposed from the fixing plate;

[0009] The cleaning assembly is provided at the bottom end of the fixed plate, and the cleaning assembly includes a receiving groove opened at the bottom end of the fixed plate, and two rotating shafts are rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two ends of the tray body and the inner side of the receiving groove, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating plate, and a plurality of first protrusions and second protrusions are formed on the two rotating plates respectively, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion correspond to the forming quantity, distribution position and structural size of the first through hole and the second through hole. By rotating the two rotating shafts, the two rotating plates rotate synchronously, and when the rotating plate rotates to a horizontal state, each of the first protrusion and the second protrusion thereon will be respectively inserted into the inside of the first through hole and the second through hole, so that impurities attached to the inner walls of the first through hole and the second through hole can be squeezed upward, and at the same time, the top surface of the fixed plate forms a plane under the filling of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. At this time, a cleaning cloth can be used to quickly wipe off the impurities squeezed out of the surface, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0010] Preferably, the surfaces of the fixed plate and the two rotating plates are provided with a partition assembly, and the partition assembly includes a fixed partition fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the fixed plate, and a rotating partition fixedly connected to the middle of the side walls of the two rotating plates. A guide port perpendicular to the fixed partition is opened in the middle of the top of the fixed plate. When the two rotating plates rotate to a horizontal state, the two rotating partitions rotate accordingly and expose the top of the fixed plate through the guide port. The fixed partition and the two rotating partitions can separate the surface of the fixed plate into four planar areas, so that the freeze-dried raw materials can be directly separated and contained using the surface of the fixed plate, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0011] Preferably, the top surface of the fixed partition is flush with the bottom surface of the placement groove, and the top surface of the rotating partition when it is exposed through the guide port on the surface of the fixed plate is flush with the bottom surface of the placement groove, so that the fixed partition and the rotating partition will not interfere with the upper and lower stacking of the pallet body.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the two rotating shafts is fixedly connected to a rotating block, and limiting components are provided at both ends of the top of the tray body above the two rotating blocks. The limiting components are used to fix the position of the two rotating blocks after rotation, thereby fixing the position of the rotating shaft and the rotating plate, thereby increasing the stability of the freeze-dried material placed on the surface of the fixed plate.

[0013] Preferably, the limit assembly includes a card slot provided on the rotating block, and the top two ends of the tray body are fixedly connected to the support plate, and the support plate is provided with a slide slot, and the inner side of the slide slot is slidably connected to a sliding card rod, one end of the sliding card rod is fixedly connected to the limit block, and a spring is fixedly connected between the limit block and the end wall of the support plate. When the two rotating plates rotate to a horizontal state, the two rotating blocks rotate synchronously to a vertical state. At this time, the automatic contraction of the spring can drive the sliding card rod to slide along the slide slot, and one end of the sliding card rod can be inserted into the card slot of the rotating block to automatically fix the position of the rotating block, the rotating shaft and the rotating plate after rotation.

[0014] Preferably, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the top of one end of the support plate through a rotating pin, and the rotating block is composed of an upper rotating connection part and a lower limiting part, and the limiting part blocks the opening of one end of the slide slot and contacts one end of the sliding clamping rod, and the limiting part can squeeze one end of the sliding clamping rod to be limited inside the slide slot, and when the rotating block is rotated upward, the rotating block will be pushed to rotate upward synchronously. When the rotating block is rotated to a vertical state, the clamping slot and the slide slot overlap, and the sliding clamping rod originally limited by the rotating block will automatically be clamped into the inside of the clamping slot under the push of the spring, thereby fixing the position of the rotating block, the rotating shaft and the rotating plate.

[0015] Preferably, notches are provided at both ends of the bottom of the tray body below the two sets of limit assemblies, and the height and width of the notches are correspondingly larger than the height and width of the limit assemblies as a whole. When the tray bodies are stacked up and down, the notches can well accommodate the limit assemblies at the top thereof, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the freeze-drying tray with a partition assembly is provided with a placement groove, a stabilizing seat and a fixing plate on the tray body. On the premise of being able to accommodate the portion of the top of the connecting tube exposed on the fixing plate, the placement groove and the stabilizing seat are connected to increase the stability of the stacking in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate the movement of the entire tray. By providing a cleaning assembly, impurities attached to each through hole can be quickly cleaned, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning. The specific contents are as follows:

[0017] By providing a placement groove and a stabilizing seat at the top and bottom of the tray body respectively, and installing a fixing plate inside the tray body, when the tray bodies need to be stacked up and down, the placement groove and the stabilizing seat can be engaged to increase the stability of the stacking, and a certain distance is left between the bottom end of the placement groove and the top end of the fixing plate to accommodate the portion of the top end of the connecting pipe exposed from the fixing plate;

[0018] By setting up a cleaning component, it is only necessary to rotate the two rotating shafts to drive the rotating plate to rotate synchronously. When the rotating plate rotates to a horizontal state, each of the first and second protrusions on it will be correspondingly inserted into the inside of the first through hole and the second through hole, so that impurities attached to the inner wall of the through hole can be squeezed upward. At the same time, the top surface of the fixed plate becomes a flat surface due to the filling of the first and second protrusions, and the impurities squeezed out of the surface can be quickly wiped off with a cleaning cloth, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning;

[0019] By providing a partition assembly, when the two rotating plates rotate to a horizontal state, the two rotating partitions rotate accordingly and expose the top of the fixed plate through the guide opening. The fixed partition and the two rotating partitions can divide the surface of the fixed plate into four plane areas, so that the freeze-dried raw materials can be directly separated and loaded on the surface of the fixed plate, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0020] By arranging a rotating block at one end of the two rotating shafts and a limit assembly above the rotating block, when the two rotating plates rotate to a horizontal state, the two rotating blocks rotate synchronously to a vertical state. At this time, the automatic contraction of the spring can drive the sliding card rod to slide along the slide groove, and one end of the sliding card rod can be inserted into the card groove of the rotating block to automatically fix the position of the rotating block, the rotating shaft and the rotating plate after rotation, thereby increasing the stability of the freeze-dried material placed on the surface of the fixed plate;

[0021] By using a rotating pin to set a rotating stopper on the support plate, the limiting part of the rotating stopper can squeeze the sliding card rod to the inside of the slide groove. When the rotating block is rotated upward, the rotating stopper will be pushed to rotate upward synchronously. When the card slot and the slide groove overlap, the sliding card rod originally limited by the rotating stopper will automatically be inserted into the inside of the card slot under the push of the spring, so as to facilitate the insertion and limiting of the sliding card rod.

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.

[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides the following technical solution: a freeze-drying tray with a partition assembly, comprising a tray body 1, wherein the outer walls of the tray body 1 are all fixedly connected with buckles 2;

The top of one end of the support plate 18 is rotatably connected to a rotating stopper 24 through a rotating pin 23. The rotating stopper 24 is connected to the lower rotating connection portion by the upper rotating connection portion. The limiting portion is constituted, the limiting portion is blocked at one end opening of the slide groove 19 and contacts one end of the sliding card rod 20, and one end of the sliding card rod 20 can be squeezed and limited to the inside of the slide groove 19 through the limiting portion. When the rotating block 16 is rotated upward, the rotating block 24 is pushed to rotate upward synchronously. When the rotating block 16 is rotated to a vertical state, the card slot 17 overlaps with the slide groove 19, and the sliding card rod 20, which was originally limited by the rotating block 24, will automatically be inserted into the inside of the card slot 17 under the push of the spring 22, so as to automatically fix the position of the rotating block 16, the rotating shaft 10, and the rotating plate 11 after rotation, thereby increasing the stability of the freeze-dried material placed on the surface of the fixed plate 5;
