Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a central reagent rack, belonging to the technical field of reagent racks. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratories typically use a large number of reagents, which require designated storage. Reagent racks are usually placed in the center of the lab bench. The function of these racks is to store the chemical reagents and equipment used in the experiments. During experiments, reagents must be stored in a categorized manner for easy access by lab personnel, avoiding clutter. Reagent racks can also store small laboratory instruments and equipment, such as beakers, graduated cylinders, and test tube racks, for convenient use. Placing reagents, instruments, and equipment on racks helps maintain a tidy lab bench, preventing reagents or instruments from being scattered around and reducing the risk of operational errors during experiments.
[0003] Currently, central reagent racks have inherent safety hazards during use. When handling flammable, toxic, or corrosive chemicals, the racks lack protective railings and separation devices, making them prone to tipping, collisions, or leaks, posing a safety risk. Over time, stored reagents tend to accumulate on the racks, causing rust, corrosion, or damage. Therefore, the racks require frequent cleaning, but some areas are difficult to clean thoroughly due to hard-to-reach corners or high positions. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a central reagent rack, which solves the problems that reagents are easy to tip over and collide when stored in a central reagent rack; the reagent rack is not easy to disassemble; and the reagent rack is not easy to clean.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: A central reagent rack includes a frame, shelves, and a drain rack. There are multiple frame frames, and the shelves are arranged between the frame frames. The drain rack is arranged at the edge of the frame frame. There are multiple shelves, and mounting plates are provided at the bottom of both ends of the shelves. Both ends of the shelves are fixed between the frame frames by the mounting plates. A mounting groove is provided at one end of the frame frame, and the drain rack is fixed to the frame frame by the mounting groove. A water collection groove is provided at the bottom of the drain rack.
[0006] Preferably, the top edge of each shelf is provided with an anti-slip bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the mounting plate is provided with screw holes, and the frame is connected to the shelf by bolts.
[0008] Preferably, adjacent shelves share a single frame.
[0009] Preferably, the shelves provided on the frame have multiple layers.
[0010] Preferably, a test tube rack is also provided on the top of the shelf, and the test tube rack can be fixed between the anti-slip frames.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the drain rack has multiple inclined supports.
[0012] Preferably, the angle of inclination of the support includes 40°-60°.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) With this invention, the shelf is fixed to the frame by a mounting plate. The mounting plate has screw holes, and the shelf and the mounting plate are connected by bolts. This ensures a stable connection between the shelf and the frame. Furthermore, the mounting plate is located at the bottom of the shelf, preventing reagents stored on it from entering the screw holes or bolts when they tip over due to collisions, thus avoiding interference with the connection between the shelf and the frame. This enhances the stability and safety of the reagent rack and reduces loosening or corrosion caused by chemical reagents seeping into the screw holes, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0015] (2) With this invention, an anti-slip rack is provided on the top of the shelf. The anti-slip rack can prevent reagent bottles from sliding, colliding, or tipping over on the shelf, making it suitable for storing fragile glass reagent bottles and small precision instruments. It can reduce the possibility of accidents, especially in experimental environments with frequent operations, and can effectively prevent reagent spills or damage, thereby improving experimental safety and operational efficiency.
[0016] (3) With this utility model, the frame, shelves, and drain rack can all be disassembled and are easy to clean. During the experiment, there are usually chemical reagent residues, some of which will remain at the bottom of the reagent bottle and then adhere to the top of the shelf. Making the frame, shelves, and drain rack detachable allows for thorough cleaning of hard-to-clean corners, ensuring the cleanliness of the reagent rack and preventing reagents from accumulating at the bottom of the shelf. For high-requirement laboratory environments, this ensures safety and hygiene. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a central reagent rack includes a frame 1, shelves 2, and a drain rack 3; there are multiple frame 1s, shelves 2 can be installed between the frame 1s, and a drain rack 3 can be installed on the side of the frame 1 where a shelf 2 is not installed at one end.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 The frame 1 is generally rectangular, with multiple screw holes 11 on its surface; mounting grooves 12 are also provided on the surface of the frame 1. The screw holes 11 are spaced a certain distance from both ends of the frame 1. In this embodiment, two screw holes 11 form a group, and a group of screw holes 11 is arranged in parallel. A group of screw holes 11 can fix a shelf 2. Multiple groups of screw holes 11 can be provided on the frame 1, and each group of screw holes 11 can fix a shelf 2. The mounting grooves 12 are provided on the surface of the frame 1, spaced a certain distance from the screw holes 11. Specifically, the mounting grooves 12 are grooves provided on the side of the frame 1, extending from the inside of the grooves towards the bottom of the frame 1. There are two mounting grooves 12, arranged horizontally at a certain distance. The drain rack 3 can be fixed to the frame 1 through the mounting grooves 12.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 Shelf 2 is rectangular in shape, and its width is slightly wider than that of frame 1, increasing its storage area. A mounting plate 21 is located at the bottom of shelf 2, positioned along both sides of its bottom edge. The mounting plate 21 has two through-holes, the distance between which is the same as the spacing of the screw holes 11 on the surface of frame 1, and both holes are the same size. Shelf 2 is bolted to frame 1, connecting the screw holes 11 and the mounting holes to secure it to the side of frame 1. The mounting plate 21 and shelf 2 are an integral structure, with reinforcing ribs on both sides to prevent deformation. An anti-slip bracket 22 is located at the top of shelf 2, with support plates on both sides of the top of shelf 22, securing the anti-slip bracket 22 to the top of shelf 2.
[0028] As one embodiment, a T-slot is provided at the position where the anti-slip bracket 22 is mounted on the support plate, and protrusions are provided at both ends of the anti-slip bracket 22. The anti-slip bracket 22 can be fixed to the support plate by the protrusions cooperating with the T-slot.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The drain rack 3 is installed on the frame 1 and can drain the water from the test tubes. The drain rack 3 is vertically arranged on the side of the frame 1. Multiple inclined support columns 31 are arranged on the front of the drain rack 3. The inclined support columns 31 are all arranged on a vertical plane and perpendicular to the drain plate 3. The inclination angle of the support column 31, that is, the angle formed between the support column 31 and the drain rack 3, is 40°-60°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the support column 31 is 45° and the direction is upward.
[0030] A mounting block 32 is provided on the back of the drain rack 3. The mounting block 32 is a protrusion located on the back of the drain rack 3, and a groove extending upward is provided on the bottom end of the protrusion near the drain rack 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shelf 2 is provided with a mounting plate 21, which has screw holes. The shelf 2 and the frame 1 are connected by bolts, ensuring the stability of the connection between the shelf 2 and the frame 1. Furthermore, the mounting plate 21 is located at the bottom of the shelf 2, preventing reagents stored on the shelf 2 from entering the screw holes or bolts when the shelf 2 is bumped and tipped over, thus avoiding interference with the connection between the shelf 2 and the frame 1. This enhances the stability and safety of the reagent rack, reduces the risk of loosening or corrosion caused by chemical reagents seeping into the screw holes, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0035] An anti-slip rack 22 is installed on the top of shelf 2. The anti-slip rack 22 can prevent reagent bottles from sliding, colliding, or tipping over on shelf 2, and is suitable for storing fragile glass reagent bottles and small precision instruments. It can reduce the possibility of accidents, especially in experimental environments with frequent operations, and can effectively prevent reagent spills or damage, thereby improving experimental safety and operational efficiency.
[0036] The rack 1, shelf 2, and drain rack 3 are all detachable for easy cleaning. During experiments, chemical reagent residues often remain, some reaching the bottom of reagent bottles and subsequently adhering to the top of shelf 2. Making the rack 1, shelf 2, and drain rack 3 detachable allows for thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach corners, ensuring the reagent rack remains tidy and preventing reagent buildup at the bottom of the shelves. For demanding laboratory environments, this design ensures safety and hygiene.
