[0025] The technical scheme of the utility model will be clearly described below in conjunction with the drawings, obviously, the described embodiments are not all embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions set forth in these embodiments should not be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model.
[0027] The following description of exemplary embodiments is merely illustrative in nature and is not to be taken in any way as restricting the present utility model and its applications or uses in any manner. Here, techniques, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but in the case of applying these techniques, methods and devices, these techniques, methods and devices should be considered as part of the present specification.
[0028] The present embodiment provides a freeze-drying tray, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tray 1 has a frame 6, so the tray 1 is an open-top box that holds the material to be freeze-dried. The tray 1 is provided with a semipermeable membrane 2 on the top, which completely covers the opening of the tray 1 and has an excess margin at the edge. The semipermeable membrane 2 is a high-density polyethylene fiber membrane. After covering the opening with the semipermeable membrane 2, the material to be freeze-dried can be prevented from splashing, and the semipermeable membrane is dustproof and hydrophobic, but allows air to pass easily, with sufficient air permeability.
[0029] The upper cover 3 is provided with a border 9 at the edge, and the border 9 extends downward. When the upper cover 3 covers the tray 1, there is a certain gap between the border 9 and the frame 6. The gap between the border 9 and the frame 6 can be made large in size to facilitate the insertion of the upper cover 3 into the tray 1.
[0030] A clamping assembly is provided on the side of the upper cover 3; the clamping assembly includes a pressure plate 4 and a pressure strip 5. The pressure plate 4 is hinged to the upper cover 3, and the pressure strip 5 is hinged to the upper cover 3. The pressure strip 5 presses the pressure plate 4 to compress the semi-permeable membrane 2. The rotation axis of the pressure plate 4 is parallel to the surface of the frame 6, and the rotation axis of the pressure strip 5 is perpendicular to the surface of the frame 6.
[0031] In addition, the clamping assembly also includes a rotating shaft 7, which is disposed on the upper cover 3. Specifically, the rotating shaft 7 is disposed on the frame 9, and the frame 9 has an opening corresponding to the position of the pressure plate 4. Preferably, the rotating shaft 7 is welded to the frame 9 to ensure service life. A rotating cylinder 8 is provided at one end of the pressure plate 4, and the pressure plate 4 and the rotating cylinder 8 are an integral structure, with the rotating cylinder 8 passing through the rotating shaft 7. Thus, the pressure plate 4 is hinged to the upper cover 3 via the rotating shaft 7.
[0032] Positioning posts 10 are provided on the frame 9. The positioning posts 10 are welded to the frame 9. The pressure strip 5 is rotatably connected to the positioning posts 10. A boss is provided at the outer end of the positioning posts 10 to prevent the pressure strip 5 from falling off.
[0033] In other embodiments, each clamping assembly may also include two pressure strips 5, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the pressure plate 4.
[0034] At least one clamping component is provided on one side of the upper cover 3. In this embodiment, two clamping components are provided on one side of the upper cover 3, and the clamping components on both sides are symmetrically arranged.
[0035] To ensure sufficient air permeability during the freeze-drying process, the upper surface of the cover 3 is provided with several openings.
[0036] Preferably, the corners of the frame 6 and the border 9 are provided with arc transition sections.
[0037] When using the freeze-drying tray provided by this utility model, after placing the item to be freeze-dried into the tray 1, cover the tray 1 with the top cover 3. Because the gap between the edge 9 of the top cover 3 and the frame 6 of the tray 1 is relatively large, the top cover 3 easily covers the tray 1. Then, rotate the pressure strip 5 from bottom to top. Since the pressure plate 4 is at an inclined angle after abutting against the frame 6, the pressure strip 5 rotates upwards and gets closer to the pressure plate 4 until the pressure strip 5 presses firmly against the pressure plate 4, causing the pressure plate 4 to press firmly against the semi-permeable membrane 2, thereby fixing the semi-permeable membrane 2 and achieving a seal on the freeze-drying tray. In addition, to prevent the pressure plate 4 from damaging the semi-permeable membrane 2, a silicone pad can be adhered to the side of the pressure plate 4 that abuts against the frame 6.
[0038] The above specific embodiments are merely used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit the present application. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and all should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
