Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection instruments, and in particular relates to a cell electroporation cup cover opening device. Background Art
[0002] In cell biology and molecular biology experiments, cell electroporation cuvettes are a commonly used experimental tool and are widely used in experimental operations such as cell transfection and gene introduction.
[0003] However, the traditional method of handling electric rotating cups has many inconveniences, especially during the experiment, when a large number of electric rotating cups are used and each electric rotating cup needs to be manually opened and closed, which not only takes a long time but is also inefficient. In addition, the tube body or the inside of the lid of the electric rotating cup is easily touched during manual operation, increasing the risk of experimental contamination and posing a potential threat to the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cell electroporation cup cover opening device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cell electroporation cup lid opening device, comprising a base, a plurality of placement slots are provided on the base, and the open end of the placement slot is provided with a cup holder that is clamped with the base; a support rod is provided on the base, a connecting sleeve is installed on the outer side of the support rod, and a mounting plate located above the base is provided on the outer side of the connecting sleeve, a flip part is provided between the mounting plate and the connecting sleeve, and a hook corresponding to the position of the placement slot is installed on the end of the mounting plate close to the base, and a movable part is provided on the hook.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, by arranging multiple placement slots and corresponding cup holders on the base, the device can simultaneously accommodate and stabilize multiple cell electroporation cups, significantly improving experimental efficiency. It is particularly suitable for occasions where batch processing of cell electroporation experiments is required. At the same time, the combined design of the hook and the movable part enables the experimenter to quickly open and close the electroporation cup lid through simple operations, reducing tedious manual operations and reducing the time cost and labor intensity during the experiment.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with a plurality of raised blocks, which are located around the opening of the placement slot, and the cup holder is provided with a docking groove that is engaged with the raised blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the placement groove is trapezoidal, and a rubber pad is installed on the inner side wall of the placement groove, and the rubber pad is concave-convex.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction of the concave-convex rubber pad not only provides a good anti-slip effect, but also ensures that the cell electroporation cuvette will not move during the opening process, thereby ensuring the stability of the cell electroporation cuvette.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve is rectangular in shape, and a side wall of the connecting sleeve is connected with a fastening bolt that is fixed to the support rod.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and applying the fastening bolts to the side wall of the connecting sleeve, the experimenter can adjust the height and angle of the mounting plate as needed to adapt to the operating requirements under different experimental conditions, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the experiment.
[0013] Furthermore, the flip member includes a pair of fixing seats installed on the connecting sleeve, a connecting shaft is installed between the pair of fixing seats, and a connecting seat with one end connected to the mounting plate is installed on the outer side of the connecting shaft.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the flip part allows the mounting plate to flip freely within a certain range. The experimenter can adjust the operating angle according to actual needs, thereby facilitating the operation of the pipette gun and improving the flexibility and convenience of the experiment.
[0015] Furthermore, the movable part includes a mounting groove provided on the hook, and a mounting block installed on the hook, and both ends of the mounting block are respectively provided with a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove, and a torsion spring located outside the rotating shaft is provided between the mounting groove and the mounting block.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the movable parts enables the experimenter to quickly open and close the electric cup cover through simple operations, reducing tedious manual operations and improving experimental efficiency.
[0017] Furthermore, the mounting plate and the connecting sleeve are respectively provided with magnetic blocks that magnetically attract each other.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the application of the magnetic block enables the turned-over mounting plate and the connecting sleeve to be firmly connected together, thereby facilitating the pipette gun operation.
[0019] Furthermore, a through hole having the same shape as the opening of the placement slot is opened on the surface of the cup holder.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of the cup holder and the through hole allows the experimenter to arrange the experimental layout more flexibly, while also preventing the experimenter from contacting the cell electroporation cup.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] 1. By arranging multiple placement slots and corresponding cup holders on the base, the device can accommodate and stabilize multiple cell electroporation cups at the same time, which is convenient for batch processing and significantly improves the experimental efficiency. The combined design of the hook and the movable part allows the experimenter to quickly open and close the electroporation cup cover with simple operations, reducing tedious manual operations and further accelerating the experimental process; 2. The trapezoidal design of the placement slot and the concave and convex rubber pads on the inner wall not only provide a good anti-slip effect, but also ensure that the cell electroporation cup will not move during the opening process, thereby ensuring the stability of the cell electroporation cup; 3. The design of the flip part allows the mounting plate to flip freely within a certain range, which is convenient for the experimenter to adjust the operating angle according to actual needs, thereby facilitating the operation of the pipette gun and improving the flexibility and convenience of operation. At the same time, the application of the fastening bolts on the side wall of the connecting sleeve allows the height and angle of the mounting plate to be adjusted according to the experimental requirements, further enhancing the adaptability and practicality of the device.
