Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agarose gel plates, and in particular to a forming device for preparing agarose gel plates. Background Art

[0002] In the preparation process of agarose gel plates, the use of molds is crucial, as it determines the size and shape of the gel plates. However, existing agarose gel plate preparation molds have obvious limitations, mainly reflected in the non-adjustability of their molding space.

[0003] Specifically, currently, most molds used to prepare agarose gel slabs typically have fixed sizes and shapes. This means that once the mold is manufactured, the size and shape of the gel slabs it can produce are fixed. This fixity brings many inconveniences in practical applications. For example, when preparing agarose gel slabs of different sizes, it is often necessary to prepare multiple molds of different sizes, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also increases the difficulty of storage and management.

[0004] Furthermore, molds are often difficult to thoroughly clean and disinfect during use. Due to the complex structure of the mold, manual cleaning is inefficient and has blind spots, making cleaning difficult. This not only affects the mold's reusability but can also negatively impact subsequent experimental results.

[0005] In view of the above problems, a forming device for preparing agarose gel plates is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides a forming device for preparing agarose gel plates, which can solve the problem in the related art that the forming space of the existing agarose gel plate preparation mold cannot be adjusted.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , a forming device for preparing an agarose gel plate comprises;

[0033] A workbench 1 and a base plate 2 disposed on the workbench 1, wherein two baffles 3 are relatively detachably connected to the base plate 2, two adjustment plates 4 are slidably disposed between the two baffles 3, and a travel assembly 7 is disposed on the workbench 1, wherein the travel assembly 7 is used to drive the adjustment plates 4 to move along the length of the baffles 3, and a forming groove 5 is formed between the two adjustment plates 4, the two baffles 3 and the base plate 2, and the forming groove 5 is used to cool and solidify the agarose gel solution;

[0034] A cleaning mechanism 6 is provided on the workbench 1, and the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a driving member 61 provided on the workbench 1, and a spray plate 62 is connected to the driving member 61. The driving member 61 is used to drive the spray plate 62 to move along the width of the forming groove 5. A plurality of nozzles 63 are provided at the bottom of the spray plate 62. The cleaning mechanism 6 also includes a liquid supply component 64, and the liquid supply component 64 is used to provide cleaning agent to the spray plate 62.

[0035] Two adjustment plates 4 are slidably positioned between the two baffles 3, allowing them to move along their lengths. A travel assembly 7 on the workbench 1 drives the adjustment plates 4, adjusting the size of the forming tank 5 to the desired agarose gel slab dimensions. After the tank 5 is sized, the agarose gel solution is poured into the tank, where it cools and solidifies, forming an agarose gel slab of the desired size.

[0036] The liquid supply component 64 is responsible for providing cleaning agent to the spray plate 62. A plurality of nozzles 63 are provided at the bottom of the spray plate 62 for spraying the cleaning agent to ensure the continuation of the cleaning process. At the same time, the driving member 61 drives the spray plate 62 to move along the width direction of the forming groove 5 to ensure that the cleaning agent can be evenly sprayed to various parts of the forming groove.

[0037] By adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 4, the size of the forming groove 5 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the preparation requirements of agarose gel plates of different sizes without replacing molds of different sizes, thereby reducing preparation costs and time.

[0038] The design of the cleaning mechanism 6 allows the cleaning agent to be evenly sprayed to all parts of the forming tank, ensuring the cleaning effect. The mobility of the spray plate 62 further improves the uniformity and efficiency of the cleaning. The liquid supply component 64 provides a continuous supply of cleaning agent, ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning process.

[0039] The entire device has a clear structure, is easy to operate, and is easy to maintain and service. The detachable connection design of the baffle 3 and the adjustment plate 4 facilitates cleaning and replacement. The automated design of the travel assembly 7 and the cleaning mechanism 6 improves work efficiency and operational convenience.

[0040] It should be noted that if Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the baffle 3 is provided with an insert 31, and the bottom plate 2 is provided with a slot adapted to the insert 31; the two ends of the adjustment plate 4 are respectively fitted with the corresponding baffle 3, and the bottom of the adjustment plate 4 is fitted with the bottom plate 2. The adjustment plate 4 is connected to the travel assembly 7 by bolts.

[0041] To ensure a stable structure and flexible adjustment capabilities for the agarose gel slab forming device, a plug 31 is provided at the bottom of baffle 3, designed to perfectly fit into a slot on base plate 2. To secure baffle 3 to base plate 2, simply insert plug 31 into the corresponding slot. This fastening method is both simple and convenient, while also ensuring the stability of baffle 3 on base plate 2.

[0042] The design of the adjustment plate 4 also fully considers its coordination with the baffles 3 and the base plate 2. The ends of the adjustment plate 4 fit snugly against the corresponding baffles 3, while the bottom fits completely against the base plate 2. This close-fitting design not only enhances the structural strength of the entire forming trough 5 but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the adjustment plate 4 during movement.

[0043] The insertion mode of the insert block 31 and the slot and the fit of the adjustment plate 4 make the entire device easier and faster to install and remove, which not only reduces the difficulty of operation but also improves work efficiency.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the travel assembly 7 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate and an electric push rod that are connected to each other. The mounting plate is set on the workbench 1, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is connected to the adjustment plate 4.

[0045] Specifically, the travel assembly 7 consists of a mounting plate and an electric push rod connected to each other. The mounting plate is firmly mounted on the workbench 1, providing support for the entire travel assembly. The electric push rod serves as the driving source, and its piston rod is connected to the adjustment plate 4.

[0046] When the size of the forming groove 5 needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod only needs to be started, and its piston rod will push or pull the adjustment plate 4 to move along the length direction of the baffle 3. Since the electric push rod has the characteristics of precise control and stable output, it can ensure the accuracy and stability of the adjustment plate 4 during the movement process.

[0047] In addition, the installation position and direction of the electric push rod can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to the preparation requirements of forming grooves 5 of different sizes and shapes.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the driving member 61 in this embodiment includes a support platform 611, a threaded rod 612 is rotatably provided on the support platform 611, a moving block 613 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 612, a moving platform 614 is provided on the moving block 613, and a driving motor is provided at one end of the support platform 611, and the driving motor is used to drive the threaded rod 612 to rotate; the spray plate 62 is provided on the moving platform 614.

[0049] Furthermore, two slide rails are disposed opposite to each other on the support platform 611 , and two sets of sliders are disposed opposite to each other below the movable platform 614 , and the sliders are slidably matched with the corresponding slide rails.

[0050] A movable block 613 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 612. This threaded connection ensures that the movable block 613 can move linearly along the axial direction of the threaded rod 612 when the threaded rod 612 rotates. To support and move the spray plate 62, a movable platform 614 is provided on the movable block 613, and the spray plate 62 is securely mounted on the movable platform 614.

[0051] One end of the support platform 611 is also equipped with a drive motor, which is responsible for rotating the threaded rod 612. When the drive motor is turned on, the threaded rod 612 rotates, which in turn drives the moving block 613 and the moving platform 614 to move linearly along the slide rail, ultimately driving the spray plate 62 to move in the width direction of the forming tank 5.

[0052] To ensure the stability and accuracy of the moving platform 614 and the spray plate 62 during movement, two slide rails are provided on the support platform 611. Furthermore, two sets of sliders are provided below the moving platform 614. These sliders work closely with the slide rails to ensure the smooth sliding of the moving platform on the support platform.

[0053] like Figure 6As shown, the liquid supply assembly 64 in this embodiment includes a tank body 641 and a pump body 642 arranged on the tank body 641. The liquid inlet of the pump body 642 is connected to the tank body 641, and the liquid outlet of the pump body 642 is connected to a hose 643. The other end of the hose 643 is connected to the spray plate 62.

[0054] The liquid supply assembly 64 is responsible for providing cleaning agent to the spray plate 62 to ensure the smooth progress of the cleaning process.

[0055] Specifically, the liquid supply assembly 64 is primarily composed of a tank 641, a pump 642, and a hose 643. Tank 641 serves as a storage container for the cleaning agent. The tank is typically also equipped with a filling port and a liquid level observation window (not shown) to facilitate user refilling and liquid level monitoring.

[0056] The pump body 642 is responsible for extracting the cleaning agent from the tank and pressurizing it to the spray plate 62. The liquid inlet of the pump body 642 is connected to the tank to ensure that the cleaning agent can enter the pump body smoothly. The liquid outlet of the pump body 642 is connected to the spray plate through a hose 643, forming a complete cleaning agent delivery channel.

[0057] One end of the hose 643 is tightly connected to the liquid outlet of the pump body 642, and the other end is connected to the cleaning agent inlet on the spray plate 62, ensuring that the cleaning agent can be accurately and quickly delivered to each nozzle 63 on the spray plate.

[0058] When the cleaning mechanism 6 is started, the pump body 642 starts working, extracting the cleaning agent in the tank body 641 and delivering it to the spray plate 62 through the hose 643. After receiving the cleaning agent, the nozzle 63 on the spray plate 62 will evenly spray it to various parts of the forming tank 5 to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the spray plate 62 has a liquid storage cavity inside, and the plurality of spray heads 63 are arranged at the bottom of the spray plate 62 and communicate with the liquid storage cavity, and the spray plate 62 is arranged on one side above the forming tank 5.

[0060] A liquid storage chamber is provided inside the spray plate 62 , and the liquid storage chamber is used to store the cleaning agent delivered from the liquid supply component 64 .

[0061] At the bottom of the spray plate 62 , a number of spray heads 63 are evenly distributed. The spray heads are connected to the liquid storage chamber. When the cleaning agent is transported to the liquid storage chamber, it will be evenly sprayed into the forming tank 5 through the spray heads.

[0062] In addition, the spray plate 62 is arranged on one side above the forming tank 5. This design not only facilitates the spraying of the cleaning agent, but also avoids interference between the spray plate and the agarose gel plate in the forming tank, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the cleaning process.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the workbench 1 is provided with a drainage groove 8 located on the periphery of the bottom plate 2 , and the workbench 1 is also provided with a drainage port 9 connected to the wastewater collection system, and the drainage groove 8 is connected to the drainage port 9 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the drainage trough 8 and the drainage port 9 are intended to effectively collect and discharge wastewater generated during the cleaning process, ensuring a clean and hygienic working environment.

[0065] Specifically, the drainage groove 8 is opened along the outer edge of the bottom plate 2 to form a surrounding collection area. When the cleaning mechanism 6 cleans the agarose gel plate in the forming tank 5, the waste water generated will flow into the drainage groove 8 along the edge of the forming tank.

[0066] To ensure the timely removal of wastewater from drain trough 8, a drain port 9 is conveniently located on workbench 1. This port communicates with drain trough 8, forming a smooth drainage channel. When wastewater accumulates in drain trough 8 to a certain level, it flows through drain port 9 into an external wastewater collection system (not shown), effectively draining the wastewater.

[0067] In actual use, after the equipment is sprayed several times, the two baffles 3 are removed, and the sewage accumulated in the forming tank 5 flows into the drainage tank 8.
