Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of freeze-drying consumables technology, and in particular to an easy-to-package, high-efficiency freeze-drying consumable. Background Technology
[0002] Freeze-drying consumables are containers or tools used in the freeze-drying process. Freeze-drying is a drying technology that removes moisture by first freezing substances containing a large amount of water (such as biological reagents, pharmaceuticals, and food) into a solid state, and then sublimating the ice into a gaseous state under vacuum. In practical applications, different experiments, production processes, or users may only need a portion of the freeze-dried material. For example, in a laboratory, the sample size or reagent usage varies for each experiment. Aliquoting allows researchers to accurately take the appropriate amount of freeze-dried material according to specific experimental needs, avoiding waste and overuse.
[0003] First, the substance to be freeze-dried (such as reagents, pharmaceuticals, or food) is placed inside the freeze-drying consumable. Then, its temperature is lowered using refrigeration equipment, causing the water in the substance to freeze into solid ice. This process is crucial because only in a solid state can water sublimate directly in the subsequent vacuum environment. Generally, the pre-freezing temperature varies depending on the properties and composition of the substance, typically ranging from -40°C to -80°C.
[0004] In the existing technology, when specific consumables are placed in a freeze dryer for packaging, due to the limited size of the freeze dryer, specific consumables require specific fixtures, making it impossible to freeze-dry multiple portions at the same time. This results in low freeze-drying efficiency, and the design of different fixtures is costly. Therefore, an easy-to-package, high-efficiency freeze-drying consumable is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an easy-to-package, high-efficiency freeze-drying consumable, aiming to improve the problem that some freeze-drying consumables in the prior art cannot freeze-dry multiple portions at the same time, resulting in low freeze-drying efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A highly efficient freeze-dried consumable that is easy to dispense includes multiple bodies, with a support member fixedly connected to the outside of each body, a sealing ridge fixedly connected to adjacent sides inside the support member, a fixing rib fixedly connected to the inside of each body, and a sealing component for cutting fixedly connected to the top of the outside of each body.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The sealing assembly includes a sealing membrane, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the outer top of a plurality of the main bodies. The main bodies are made of plastic, and the support members are made of plastic.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this invention, through the cooperation of the support member and the main body, the fixing ribs, the sealing film and the sealing ridge, a good sealing structure is constructed by the sealing film and the sealing ridge during the freeze-drying process, ensuring that the quality of the material is not contaminated. The support member not only effectively protects the main body from external damage during the pre-freezing and freeze-drying process, but also stabilizes the main body. Together with the fixing ribs, it keeps the material in place, ensuring uniform freeze-drying effect and improving product quality stability. In the later processing stage, the cuttable nature of the sealing film and the easy disassembly design of the support member and the main body greatly facilitate the dispensing operation. There is no need to design special fixtures for different consumables, which reduces the research and development and manufacturing costs of equipment and fixtures. The freeze-drying process is optimized in many ways, improving overall production efficiency and product quality reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.
[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of an easily packaged, high-efficiency freeze-drying consumable, comprising multiple bodies 1, each body 1 being the main containing unit, providing an independent storage space for the material to be freeze-dried, arranged in a 12*8 regular pattern, together forming the core of the entire freeze-drying consumable, so as to process multiple samples simultaneously and improve the batch processing efficiency of freeze-drying. Multiple bodies 1 are externally fixedly connected to support members 2, which surround the bodies 1, providing all-round support and protection to the bodies 1 from the outside. Whether it is the temperature and air pressure changes during the freeze-drying process, or during daily handling and storage, it can effectively prevent the bodies 1 from being damaged or deformed by external forces such as collisions and squeezing, ensuring the safety and stability of the entire freeze-drying operation.
[0020] Sealing ribs 3 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides inside the support component 2. The sealing ribs 3 are mated together. When the support component 2 is installed outside the body 1, a sealing structure is formed between the sealing ribs 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the internal environment during the subsequent freeze-drying process and creating a good sealing environment for the freeze-drying process. Fixing ribs 4 are fixedly connected inside multiple bodies 1. During the entire freeze-drying process, especially during the complex state changes of the substance from liquid to solid ice and then to ice sublimation into gas, the fixing ribs 4 can play a good role in positioning and constraining the substance, so that the substance can remain in its original position as much as possible during the state change process, and avoid affecting the freeze-drying effect due to movement. For example, it prevents the freeze-dried balls formed after freeze-drying from rolling or drifting randomly in the tube, ensuring the morphological integrity and positional stability of the freeze-dried substance, facilitating the attachment of the freeze-dried balls, and not affecting the liquid addition of the pipette tip, which is convenient for subsequent processing and dispensing. A sealing component for cutting is fixedly connected to the top of the body 1.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The sealing component includes a sealing membrane 5, which can be cut to separate it from the body 1. The sealing membrane 5 works in conjunction with the sealing ridge 3 to further enhance the sealing performance of the entire freeze-drying consumable. The outer surfaces of the sealing membrane 5 are fixedly connected to the outer tops of multiple bodies 1. The body 1 is made of plastic 6. Plastic 6 has certain strength, toughness and chemical stability, and can adapt to special environments such as low temperature and vacuum during the freeze-drying process. It is also relatively low in cost and easy to mass-produce. The support component 2 is made of plastic 6. The plastic 6 material enables the support component 2 to effectively protect the body 1 and reduce the weight of the entire freeze-drying consumable to a certain extent, making it convenient for operation and transportation.
[0022] Working Principle: First, the material to be freeze-dried is placed inside multiple bodies 1. A sealing film 5 tightly covers the top of each body 1, forming a sealed space to prevent leakage and external contamination. A support 2 is fixed to the outside of the body 1, and its internal sealing ridges 3 on adjacent sides cooperate to further enhance the overall sealing performance, ensuring a stable internal environment and isolation from the outside during the subsequent freeze-drying process. During the pre-freezing stage, the refrigeration equipment lowers the temperature of the body 1 and its internal material, causing water to freeze into ice. At this time, the support 2 protects the body 1 from external interference. After pre-freezing, the vacuum system is activated. Under low pressure, the solid ice inside the body 1 begins to sublimate. The water vapor generated during sublimation is extracted, and the sealing film 5 and sealing ridges 3 maintain a continuous seal, ensuring that the sublimation process is not affected by external factors. Throughout the freeze-drying process, the fixing ribs 4 at the bottom of the body 1 function to keep the material in its original position as much as possible during the state change, preventing movement from affecting the freeze-drying effect. After freeze-drying, the sealing film 5 can be cut to separate it from the body 1. Then, the support 2 can be separated from the body 1 as needed to separate the individual body 1, which facilitates the subsequent packaging and use of the freeze-dried material.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
