Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a rotatable universal pipette holder. Background Technology
[0002] In many experimental scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine, pipettes are indispensable precision liquid measuring tools. Their accuracy and stability play a crucial role in the reliability of experimental results.
[0003] However, current methods of placing pipettes in laboratories have many drawbacks. Traditional racks are often structurally simple, providing only basic storage. This makes pipettes susceptible to external impacts during placement. Due to their delicate internal mechanical structure and calibration devices, even slight impacts can lead to a decrease in the pipette's accuracy, thus affecting the accuracy of experimental data.
[0004] Meanwhile, researchers often need to turn around or move frequently to retrieve pipettes of different capacities, especially in large-scale or multi-tasking experiments, which significantly reduces experimental efficiency. Furthermore, existing racks lack effective organization and categorization of pipettes; mixing pipettes of different capacities and types not only increases the time spent searching for specific pipettes but also increases the risk of accidentally touching other pipettes, causing unnecessary confusion and potential damage. Moreover, laboratory space is limited; ordinary racks occupy space and cannot flexibly adapt to changes in experimental procedures, failing to adjust to researchers' habits and experimental layout.
[0005] Therefore, a new type of pipette placement holder is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotatable universal pipette holder, with a stable and protective structure to reduce damage to pipettes caused by accidental collisions, slippage, etc. It features a convenient rotatable mechanism and an adjustable groove design to facilitate the placement of various pipettes, and achieves efficient space utilization and flexible configuration.
[0007] Technical Solution: A rotatable universal pipette holder includes a tray, a protective component, a rotating shaft, and an adjusting component. The tray is mounted on a support column, a base is mounted on the bottom of the support column, and the rotating shaft is sleeved between the support column and the base. Multiple grooves are provided on the tray, and the adjusting component is installed on both sides of the grooves. Protective components are provided at the ends of the grooves. This application utilizes the above components to create a rotatable, stable pipette holder suitable for various pipettes.
[0008] Furthermore, the protective component includes a set of baffles made of a transparent material. The baffles in this application effectively prevent the pipette from accidentally slipping; the transparent baffles allow for a direct view of the pipette's placement.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer side of the baffle is mounted to the tray using spring hinges; magnets are respectively installed on the inner side of the baffle. This application uses spring hinges to mount the tray, allowing free handling of the pipette without being affected by the baffle. The magnets ensure the baffle is tightly closed when shut, preventing it from opening if the pipette accidentally slips out.
[0010] Furthermore, the support column includes a first support column and a second support column, wherein the radius of the second support column is larger than that of the first support column; the inner end face of the second support column is provided with a third thread, and the end of the first support column is provided with a second thread, wherein the first support column is adjusted and screwed onto the second support column. This application adopts an adjustable threaded support column connection, which can be freely twisted to a suitable height according to the laboratory space layout and the type of pipette.
[0011] Furthermore, the first support column is provided with a first thread and screwed onto the support plate; a handle is provided with a hollowed-out upper end of the first support column. This application screws the support column onto the support plate for easy operation; the handle facilitates picking up the item.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a set of adjustment blocks, which are arc-shaped and arranged around the groove. This application designs the adjustment blocks to fit the groove, allowing for size adjustments based on different pipette models, and ensuring a more snug fit within the groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting block is made of hard silicone, and one side is mounted to the support plate by fasteners. The upper surface of the adjusting block is provided with anti-slip patterns. The adjusting block involved in this application is made of hard silicone, which has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, and the anti-slip patterns on the surface further enhance its anti-slip properties.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is embedded in the base, and the rotating shaft is a damped rotating shaft. This application uses a damped rotating shaft, which provides low friction and good damping during rotation, so that the experimenter can easily rotate the tray to the desired position and keep it stable.
[0015] Furthermore, the base is polygonal in shape, with multiple anti-slip pads on its lower surface. The base of this application is designed in a polygonal shape to provide a good supporting foundation, and the bottom is equipped with anti-slip pads to ensure stability when placed on an experimental table.
[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This application proposes a stable and protective rotatable universal pipette holder, which can reduce damage to pipettes caused by accidental collisions, slippage, etc. Through specialized protective components and reasonable tray design, it ensures the physical safety of pipettes during placement and use, and maintains their accuracy and reliability.
[0018] 2. This application creates a convenient rotatable mechanism. With the help of a high-precision rotating axis and a smooth rotation design, experimenters can easily obtain pipettes placed in different orientations without moving their bodies or changing their positions significantly. This adapts to the need for frequent pipette switching in complex experiments and optimizes the operating experience.
[0019] 3. This application relates to an adjustable groove design, which facilitates the placement of various pipettes, not only improving the utilization rate of laboratory space, but also enhancing the safety and orderliness of equipment storage, and greatly facilitating experimental operation procedures. This design is suitable for various laboratory environments and helps to improve work efficiency and experimental accuracy.
[0020] 4. This application adopts a surround-type placement of pipettes and utilizes a telescopic bracket to adjust the pipettes to a suitable height, achieving efficient use and flexible configuration of space. It properly places the pipette placement bracket within the limited experimental space, allowing it to be flexibly adjusted according to the experimental layout and personnel habits, thereby enhancing the applicability and practicality of the bracket in different experimental scenarios.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the protective component structure of this application; the protective component 3 includes a set of baffles 301, the baffles 301 being made of transparent material. The outer side of the baffles 301 is mounted on the support plate 1 using spring hinges 303; magnets 302 are respectively installed on the inner side of the baffles 301.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a bottom view structural diagram of the base of this application; the base 4 is polygonal and made of stable metal or high-strength plastic material; multiple anti-slip pads 401 are provided on the lower end surface, made of anti-slip material, including rubber.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the adjustment component structure of this application; the adjustment component 6 includes a set of adjustment blocks 601, which are arc-shaped and arranged around the groove 7. The adjustment blocks 601 are made of hard silicone, and one side is installed on the support plate 1 by fasteners.

[0034] During assembly, the tray 1 is first installed on the first support 201, then the second support 202 is connected to the rotating shaft 5, and then the rotating shaft 5 is installed into the base 4.
