Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sample transportation, and in particular relates to a mass spectrometry sample transportation device. Background Art

[0002] In daily laboratory work, it is often necessary to transport unprocessed or processed samples to designated areas or instruments for operation. However, when the distance is long or when traveling outside, the storage requirements and integrity of the transported specimens are particularly important. Existing standard transport boxes can meet the daily transportation and storage needs of ordinary samples. However, when transporting processed samples loaded into 96-well plates, if they are tipped over or turned upside down, some adverse consequences may occur.

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to develop a device that is simple and easy to operate and ensures the integrity of the sample. For this phenomenon, it is necessary to invent a transport device that can prevent the specimen from spilling to reduce the adverse consequences caused by accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a mass spectrometry sample transport device, which includes a box body and a box lid. A swivel, a storage tray and an insulation layer are provided inside the box body. The swivel is fixed to the box body by connecting rings at the upper and lower ends; the storage tray is fixed to the middle position of the swivel by connecting rings at the left and right ends. The tray is a rectangular parallelepiped with an open top and a U-shaped notch. The inner wall of the box body is surrounded by a hollow insulation layer, and ice bags can be placed on the insulation layer. A box lid is provided on the top of the box body, and a handle is provided on the top of the box lid. The device places the storage tray through the swivel, so that the tray can not only be fixed on the swivel, but the swivel can also rotate 360 ​​degrees at will, and the sample can remain stable and will not tip over during the process of inversion and rotation. The entire device has a simple structure and is lightweight, which is convenient for transportation during the experiment and improves the safety of sample transportation.

[0005] On the one hand, the present invention provides a mass spectrometry sample transport device, comprising a box body, wherein a swivel and a storage tray are provided inside the box body, the A end and the B end of the swivel are fixed inside the box body, the line connecting the A end and the B end passes through the center of the swivel, and the swivel can rotate around the line connecting the A end and the B end, the two ends of the storage tray are connected to the C end and the D end of the swivel by a soft rope, the line connecting the C end and the D end passes through the center of the swivel, and the line connecting the A end and the B end is perpendicular to the line connecting the C end and the D end.

[0006] The present invention draws on the structural principle of a rolling lamp. The design of the rolling lamp is very ingenious. It adopts a fulcrum suspension method to hang the candle in an inner leveling ring with an axial hole on each side. When the inner leveling ring is in a horizontal position, the candle will not tilt left or right due to its own weight. In order to prevent tipping over and over, the designer made a larger leveling ring on the axial direction of the inner leveling ring, put it on the outside, and hung the inner leveling ring that hung the candle on the outer leveling ring, and made the axial holes of the two rings exactly vertical, with the angle between the axis lines being 90 degrees. This design allows the center of the rolling lamp to follow the center of gravity, so that the candle can keep burning stably even in the case of continuous rolling. In the present invention, similar to the rolling lamp structure, when the device is turned upside down or tilted, the box acts as an outer leveling ring to provide support, and the swivel is equivalent to the inner leveling ring. This structure allows the object to rotate stably in three directions without unnecessary friction or sliding.

[0007] Furthermore, the sum of the lengths of the storage tray and the soft ropes at both ends is greater than the diameter of the swivel.

[0008] The sample is secured to the tray by suspending it within a swivel with a buckle on each side. A box is constructed around the axis of the swivel and placed outside. The sample-hanging swivel is then suspended within the box via the buckles. The axis of the swivel is aligned perpendicularly to the axis of the tray's buckle, with the included axis at a 90-degree angle. Because the center of gravity follows the center of gravity, the tray and sample remain stable and facing upwards, regardless of the box's rotation.

[0009] In some embodiments, the tray has a certain weight so that the center of gravity of the entire tray behind the sample is biased downward, so that during the rotation of the box, the tray and the sample inside are always stably facing upward.

[0010] Furthermore, the soft ropes at the A and B ends of the swivel are connected to the box body through buckles, and the buckles can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0011] Furthermore, the soft ropes at both ends of the storage tray are connected to the ends of the swivels C and D through buckles, and the buckles can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0012] The storage tray and the swivel are connected by a buckle, which allows them to flip 360 degrees, providing space for the swivel and the storage tray to rotate in the vertical and horizontal directions. When the box tilts forward or backward, the buckles at both ends of the storage tray rotate, and the tray and the sample are stably pointing upward under gravity. When the box tilts left or right, the buckles at both ends of the swivel rotate, so that the plane of the swivel is always parallel to the inclined surface of the box. At the same time, the buckles at both ends of the storage tray rotate, and the tray and the sample are always suspended below the plane of the swivel under gravity, and the sample is stably pointing upward.

[0013] Furthermore, the ring buckle includes a fixed end and a rotating end, the fixed end is connected to the rotating end through a pin, and the rotating end can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the pin.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage tray is in the shape of a cuboid with an open top.

[0015] According to the specifications of the 96-well plate, the size of the placement tray is generally 13 cm×10 cm×3 cm, which is just enough to place one plate, so that the entire plate is fixed in the tray.

[0016] In some embodiments, the top of the 96-well plate is covered with a silicone cover to prevent sample spillage.

[0017] Furthermore, the storage tray is provided with a U-shaped notch.

[0018] In some embodiments, a 2 cm wide U-shaped notch is provided on one side of the tray to facilitate the removal of the sample plate.

[0019] Furthermore, a heat-insulating layer is provided inside the box body, and the heat-insulating layer is located around the inner wall of the box body and is used for placing ice packs.

[0020] For mass spectrometry samples, the temperature range of 2-8°C is the appropriate temperature to maintain sample activity. An insulation layer is set inside the transport device to ensure that the sample can be kept at a suitable temperature during the transport process, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sample and avoiding the adverse effects of excessively high or low temperatures on the sample.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a box cover, which includes a left cover and a right cover.

[0022] Furthermore, the box is in the shape of a cube.

[0023] In some embodiments, the box has a size of 40 cm×40 cm×40 cm.

[0024] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The swivel and storage tray inside the device can rotate 360 ​​degrees. When the device is turned upside down or rotated, the storage tray and samples can remain stable and will not tip over.

[0026] 2. An insulation layer is set inside the transfer device to avoid the adverse effects of excessively high or low temperatures on the samples;

[0027] 3. The entire device has a simple structure, light weight, labor-saving production and low cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
