Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microbial detection, in particular to a microbial reagent bottle clamping shrapnel bottle cover structure. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, automated microbial detection systems are playing a vital role in microbiological examinations. These systems are primarily used to test blood samples for the presence of bacteria. They are crucial for rapidly detecting life-threatening conditions such as sepsis and bacteremia, and for determining bacterial growth in patients' blood to confirm a diagnosis.

[0003] As a key component of automated microbial detection systems, automated blood culture instruments have undergone multiple stages of development. Observational parameters have evolved from the naked eye to radioactive labeling and then to non-radioactive labeling; operation has evolved from manual to semi-automatic and finally to automatic; and result interpretation has evolved from endpoint to continuous interpretation, with the ability to record bacterial growth curves.

[0004] At present, the basic principle of detection in the automatic microbial detection system is to inject the sample to be tested into a reagent bottle containing a culture medium, then place the reagent bottle in a constant temperature reagent bottle sleeve for incubation, and finally detect the presence of microorganisms in the sample in the reagent bottle through the sensor at the bottom of the reagent bottle. The reagent bottle sleeve needs to clamp the reagent bottle, and usually a structure in which a plunger is used to support the reagent bottle. However, in the prior art, the elastic force of the plunger is difficult to adjust. If the elastic force is small, it cannot hold down the reagent bottle, and it is easy to detach from the bottle sleeve during movement; if the elastic force is large, it is easy to scratch the aluminum cover of the reagent bottle. There is also a structure using shrapnel. For example, in the comparative document CN216106941U, the deformation part is a straight structure, and the fixing method is screw fixing. The elastic recovery force of this straight structure shrapnel is small, and the screw-fixed shrapnel is prone to slippage, which affects the stability and reliability of the automatic microbial detection system. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and provide a microbiological reagent bottle clamping spring-flake bottle cover structure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above application purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: A microbiological reagent bottle clamping spring bottle cover structure includes:

[0007] The bottle sleeve is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the reagent bottle, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove;

[0008] The spring piece is partially located in the mounting groove and is fixed to the mounting groove through a pressure plate. The body of the reagent bottle is fixed in the through hole of the mounting groove by the rebound force of the spring piece;

[0009] A space for the spring sheet to deform is formed between the pressing plate and the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the spring piece includes at least a protruding portion and a connecting portion, and is fixed between the outer wall of the mounting groove and the pressing plate by the pressing plate through the connecting portion. The protruding portion enters the mounting groove and can contact the bottle body of the reagent bottle.

[0011] Furthermore, the through hole is in a strip shape.

[0012] Furthermore, a clamping groove is provided on the connecting portion, and a boss that matches the clamping groove is provided on the outer wall of the installation groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressing plate is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting groove via a connecting piece.

[0014] Furthermore, the shrapnel is made of elastic metal or elastic plastic.

[0015] Furthermore, the number of the shrapnel is one or more.

[0016] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided on the outer wall of the installation groove, the boss is located in the positioning groove, and the positioning groove is used to install the connecting part.

[0017] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided on the boss.

[0018] Furthermore, the number of the through holes is greater than or equal to the number of the springs.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The elastic force is more convenient to adjust: In the prior art, the elastic force of the plunger is difficult to adjust, while the utility model fixes the reagent bottle by the rebound force of the shrapnel. The elasticity of the shrapnel can be selected according to actual needs, and the position and pressure of the shrapnel can be adjusted more conveniently during the installation process, avoiding the problem that the reagent bottle cannot be pressed down due to too small elastic force or the aluminum cover of the reagent bottle is scratched due to too large elastic force.

[0021] 2. Greater stability: The spring clip has a rationally designed structure, comprising at least a raised portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is secured between the outer wall of the mounting groove and the pressing plate by the pressing plate. The raised portion enters the mounting groove and contacts the reagent bottle body, making the reagent bottle more stable within the bottle holder, less likely to become detached during movement and less likely to scratch the bottle body. A slot is provided on the connecting portion, and a boss that matches the slot is provided on the outer wall of the mounting groove. This design further enhances the spring clip's stability and prevents it from slipping.

[0022] 3. Strong versatility: The springs can be made of elastic metal or elastic plastic, with a variety of material options to suit different usage scenarios and needs. The number of springs can be one or more, and the number of through holes is greater than or equal to the number of springs. The number and position of the springs can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the reagent bottle, improving the versatility of the bottle sleeve structure.

[0023] 4. Easy to install and disassemble: The pressure plate can be detachably installed on the outer wall of the installation groove through a connecting piece. When it is necessary to replace the spring piece or maintain the bottle sleeve structure, it can be easily disassembled and installed, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0024] In summary, the microbial reagent bottle clamping spring clip bottle cover structure of the present invention is superior to the existing technology in terms of elastic force adjustment, stability, versatility and ease of installation and disassembly, and can better meet the use requirements of the automatic microbial detection system.

[0030] 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Example 1: Microbiological reagent bottle clamping shrapnel bottle sleeve structure with a single shrapnel

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 1-4As shown, the microbiological reagent bottle clamping spring clip bottle sleeve structure mainly includes a bottle sleeve 1 and a spring clip 3. The bottle sleeve 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 for mounting the reagent bottle 2, and a long strip-shaped through hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 11. The spring clip 3 is made of elastic metal and includes a raised portion 31 and a connecting portion 32. The connecting portion 32 is provided with a slot 321, and the outer wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a boss 111 that matches the slot 321, and the boss 111 is provided with a threaded hole.

[0034] During installation, the connecting portion 32 of the spring clip 3 is placed in the positioning groove 112 of the outer wall of the mounting groove 11, so that the locking groove 321 is matched with the boss 111. Then, the spring clip 3 is fixed between the outer wall of the mounting groove 11 and the pressing plate 4 using the pressing plate 4 and a connecting member (such as a screw). At this time, a space for the spring clip 3 to deform is formed between the pressing plate 4 and the through hole 12. The raised portion 31 of the spring clip 3 enters the mounting groove 11. When the reagent bottle 2 is placed in the mounting groove 11, the raised portion 31 of the spring clip 3 contacts the body of the reagent bottle 2 through the rebound force, thereby fixing the reagent bottle 2 in the through hole 12 of the mounting groove 11.

[0035] In actual use, if it is found that the elastic force of the spring piece 3 is not appropriate, the pressure of the spring piece 3 on the reagent bottle 2 can be adjusted by replacing the spring piece 3 with a different elastic coefficient or adjusting the tightness of the pressure plate 4 to ensure that the reagent bottle 2 is stably fixed in the bottle sleeve 1 without being scratched.

[0036] Preferably, stainless steel or copper sheet can be used to make the spring 3. Moreover, the raised portion 31 of the spring 3 is provided with rounded corners to avoid scratching the bottle body. Specifically, the raised portion 31 can be understood as a V-shaped structure formed by bending the spring 3.

[0037] Example 2: Microbiological reagent bottle clamping shrapnel bottle sleeve structure with multiple shrapnel

[0038] In this embodiment, the structure of the bottle sleeve 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the number of the spring pieces 3 is multiple. For example, three spring pieces 3 are selected according to the size and shape of the reagent bottle 2. The spring pieces 3 can be made of elastic plastic to meet different usage requirements.

[0039] The installation process is similar to that of Example 1. The connecting portions 32 of the multiple spring clips 3 are placed in the positioning grooves 112 on the outer wall of the installation groove 11 and fixed by the pressure plate 4 and the connecting member. The protrusions 31 of the multiple spring clips 3 contact the body of the reagent bottle 2 from different directions, providing a more stable fixing force.

[0040] When it is necessary to fix reagent bottles 2 of different sizes, the number of spring clips 3 can be increased or decreased, or the position of the spring clips 3 can be adjusted according to the actual situation to accommodate reagent bottles 2 of different sizes. At the same time, since the material of the spring clips 3 can be selected in a variety of ways, the most suitable material of the spring clips 3 can be selected according to the specific use environment and requirements, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the bottle holder 1 structure.

[0041] Through the above specific embodiments, the microbial reagent bottle clamping spring clip bottle cover structure of the utility model has demonstrated good elasticity adjustability, stability, versatility and ease of installation and disassembly in actual applications, which can effectively solve the problems existing in the existing technology and provide reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the automatic microbial detection system.

[0042] The parts not described in detail in this utility model are prior art, so this utility model does not describe them in detail.

[0043] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0044] Although this document frequently uses terms such as bottle holder 1, reagent bottle 2, spring 3, pressing plate 4, mounting groove 11, boss 111, positioning groove 112, through hole 12, raised portion 31, connecting portion 32, and latching slot 321, other terms may be used. These terms are used solely to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional limitations is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any product with the same or similar technical solutions as the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
