[0003] Currently, Pasteur pipettes are blow-molded in one piece, with tubes of varying sizes designed for different usage scenarios. Faced with complex and changing work environments, where different aspiration and testing tasks require larger airbags or longer pipettes, single-size Pasteur pipettes offer limited flexibility and need improvement. Furthermore, blow-molded pipettes are difficult to produce with high precision, making them inadequate for precise sampling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a split Pasteur pipette, which improves the number of existing single-specification configurations and increases flexibility of use.

[0006] As an optional solution of the split Pasteur pipette of the present invention, the bottom of the air bag tube is integrated with a butt joint tube, which is in the shape of a hollow strip with a round-mouth pipe inside. The upper end is connected to the storage tank, and the bottom is connected to the positioner.

[0007] As an optional solution for the split Pasteur pipette of the present invention, the inner diameter of the connecting tube is smaller than the bottom port width of the storage tank, and the inner diameter of the connecting tube is larger than the outer diameter of the pipette and does not exceed 0.1 mm, so that the outer wall of the pipette and the inner wall of the connecting tube are in liquid-proof sealing contact.

[0008] As an optional solution of the split Pasteur pipette of the present invention, there is a gap between the pipette body extending to the storage tank and the inner wall of the tank body, which is used for liquid storage.

[0009] As an optional solution of the split Pasteur pipette of the present invention, the storage tank inside the airbag tube is divided into two sections from top to bottom, and the two sections of the tank are connected by a connecting tube integrated in the middle of the airbag tube.

[0010] As an optional solution of the split Pasteur pipette of the present invention, the outer diameter of the pipette is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting tube.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 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 without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A split Pasteur pipette, designed for flexible use in various sizes and configurations for different pipetting environments. The split Pasteur pipette comprises a balloon tube 1 and a pipette 2. The balloon tube 1 is detachably connected to the pipette 2 at its bottom. The upper end of the pipette 2 is inserted into a storage tank 101 within the balloon tube 1. A pressing portion 102 for negative pressure pipetting is formed above the storage tank 101. The upper end of the pipette 2 is located below the pressing portion 102.

[0023] During use, the operator selects the appropriate specifications for the balloon tube 1 and pipette 2, assembling the pipette 2 onto the balloon tube 1 to form a complete Pasteur pipette. When holding the pipette, the index finger and thumb press inward on the pressing portion 102, flattening the top of the balloon tube 1 and discharging some of the air in the storage tank 101 through the pipette 2. The bottom of the pipette 2 is then inserted into the container of liquid to be drawn, and the pressing portion 102 is gradually released. The elastic deformation of the material causes negative pressure to be generated, drawing the liquid into the storage tank 101 through the pipette 2, completing the aspiration process.

[0024] Note: Pasteurized straws are typically blow-molded, typically made of PE. The balloon tube 1 exhibits elastic recovery when deformed by extrusion. While widely available, the blow-molding process is difficult to precisely control and exhibits low precision. Extrusion-molded tubes offer higher precision, so this application utilizes both extrusion and blow-molding processes. The detailed processing steps are omitted here.

[0025] In this embodiment 1, in order to facilitate the quick assembly and use of the pipette 2: the bottom of the airbag tube 1 is integrated with a docking tube 3, which is a hollow strip with a round-mouthed pipe inside, and the upper port is connected to the storage tank 101; the inner diameter of the docking tube 3 is smaller than the bottom port width of the storage tank 101, and the inner diameter of the docking tube 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipette 2 and does not exceed 0.1mm, so that the outer wall of the pipette 2 and the inner wall of the docking tube 3 are in liquid-proof sealing contact; there is a gap between the pipette 2 extending to the storage tank 101 and the inner wall of the tank for liquid storage.

[0026] That is, the pipette 2 can be directly assembled by inserting it into the butt joint 3. The inner diameter of the butt joint 3 is reasonably preset to ensure that the pipette 2 can be easily inserted, and the gap between the two tubes is small enough to maintain the stability of the insertion under friction. After insertion, it can also seal the liquid and prevent the liquid from flowing out of the gap.

[0027] As a further improvement of the present embodiment 1, in order to accurately complete the assembly work of the pipette 2:

[0028] The bottom of the airbag tube 1 is integrated with a docking tube 3, which is a hollow strip with a round-mouthed pipe inside. The upper end is connected to the storage tank 101, and the bottom is integrated with a positioner 4. The trumpet-shaped opening of the positioner 4 faces downward, and the bottom diameter is larger than the diameter of the pipette 2, and docks with the interface of the pipette 2.

[0029] When the pipette 2 is assembled, it is inserted toward the bell mouth at the bottom of the positioner 4, so that the interface of the pipette 2 is easily inserted and the glue fixing operation is performed, thereby improving the use effect.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 4 To further improve the accuracy of pipetting:

[0032] In this embodiment 2, the storage tank 101 inside the airbag tube 1 is divided into two sections from top to bottom. The two sections of the tank are connected by a connecting tube 103 integrated into the middle part of the airbag tube 1, and the outer diameter of the suction tube 2 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting tube 103.

[0033] Specifically, after the upper end of the pipette 2 is inserted into the airbag tube 1, it is confined to the storage groove 101 at the bottom of the airbag tube 1, with the pipette 2's body removed from the pressing portion 102. When a worker squeezes the pressing portion 102, the pipette 2's body is not pressed, thus preventing any impact on the suction and delivery process. Furthermore, the functional areas are clearly defined, and the storage groove 101 is used solely for suction and storage, improving suction accuracy.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
