Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of experimental instruments, in particular to a sample transfer workbench. Background Art
[0002] In biochemistry and other experiments, it's often necessary to dissolve a sample in a beaker and then transfer it to a volumetric flask to the desired concentration. Traditionally, the researcher holds the beaker in one hand and uses a wash bottle in the other to squeeze the liquid reagent from the beaker wall into the beaker, dissolving the sample multiple times. The dissolved and mixed liquid is then transferred to the volumetric flask via a stirring rod. This process needs to be repeated multiple times until the entire sample is transferred to the volumetric flask.
[0003] The existing problems are: 1. When the sample sticks to the wall of the cup, it is necessary to press the washing bottle to clean the inner wall of the beaker many times, and then transfer it to the volumetric flask many times. The process is complicated and time-consuming, requiring a lot of manpower and time, and the experimental efficiency is low; 2. When manually transferring samples, it is inevitable that liquid reagents will spill outside, or the beaker or volumetric flask with existing samples will be broken, or the stirring rod will flow out of the volumetric flask when transferring the reagent, causing the hard-earned samples to be wasted, thereby causing the experiment to fail. However, sometimes the samples are unique or very laborious or time-consuming to obtain. It is a pity that the hard-earned samples are damaged, causing the experiment to fail and the research results to disappear.
[0004] Therefore, a sample transfer workbench is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Directions:
[0043] The sample transfer workbench can realize the rotation and tilting of the beaker when transferring the sample from the beaker to the volumetric flask, and cooperate with the spraying and aspiration mechanism to rinse all the samples in the beaker and transfer them to the volumetric flask;
[0044] The motor 7 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 7 drives the pulley assembly 6 to rotate. The pulley assembly 6 drives the vertical rotating shaft 15 to rotate, and the vertical rotating shaft 15 drives the cup holder 2 to rotate. The cup holder 2 contains a beaker, which rotates with the cup holder 2. The liquid pump draws liquid from the reagent bottle to the spray needle for spraying. The translatable lifting frame carries the spray needle down from the bottle mouth and sprays the liquid, fully dissolving the sample in the beaker and attached to the inner wall in the liquid.
[0045] After multiple rinses are completed, the mixed sample in the beaker is transferred multiple times. Each transfer is performed by the liquid pump sucking the liquid in the beaker through the transfer needle and transferring it to the volumetric flask.
[0046] The cylinder 9 is activated, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 9 extends, which drives the handle 8 to rotate and rise, thereby rotating the horizontal shaft 14 to a certain angle, causing the tiltable mounting plate 5 to tilt. The tiltable mounting plate 5 drives the pulley set 6, the vertical shaft 15 and the cup holder 2 to tilt, and the beaker placed in the cup holder 2 also tilts. In this way, when the liquid in the beaker becomes less, it can be collected together by tilting (tilting the most concave part of the bottom of the beaker), so that the liquid can be sucked up by the transfer needle by the pipette pump and completely transferred to the volumetric flask;
[0047] The cylinder 9 is started, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 9 is contracted, which drives the turning handle 8 to rotate and descend to the horizontal position, and at the same time restores the tiltable mounting plate 5 to the horizontal position, and the beaker also restores the horizontal position along with the cup holder 2.
[0048] When the horizontal rotating shaft 14 rotates, the trigger block 12 rotates along with the horizontal rotating shaft 14. When the trigger block 12 triggers the second contact switch 13, the beaker is horizontal, the liquid outlet pump is started, and the liquid outlet pump sucks the liquid in the reagent bottle to the spray needle and sprays it out, spraying the beaker from top to bottom; the position of the spray needle and the transfer needle is moved by the translatable lifting frame. When the trigger block 12 triggers the first contact switch 11, the beaker is in a tilted state, the liquid suction pump is started, and the liquid suction pump drives the transfer needle to suck the liquid in the beaker into the volumetric flask.
