Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage cabinet technology, and in particular to a gene sample storage cabinet that allows for quick access. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancement of gene technology, especially after the completion of the Human Genome Project, the field of gene research has experienced explosive growth. A large number of gene samples need to be collected, stored, and studied. These samples include DNA samples from human blood, tissues, and saliva, as well as gene samples from animals and plants. Publication number CN210801735U discloses a laboratory blood vessel rack storage cabinet, belonging to the field of storage cabinet design technology. This utility model discloses a laboratory blood vessel rack storage cabinet, including a cabinet body. The cabinet body has a first partition and a second partition inside, with a longitudinal partition fixedly connected between the first and second partitions. The upper side of the cabinet body has a first groove and a second groove, both of which are equipped with semiconductor cooling devices. When energized, the cooling element cools the lower side and dissipates heat from the upper side, conducting cold air to the interior of the cabinet body to achieve cooling. After blood is drawn for testing, the test tubes are placed on the test tube rack, and the test tube rack is placed inside the cabinet body, achieving a refrigeration effect. This laboratory blood vessel rack storage cabinet has multiple partitions, capable of holding multiple sets of test tube racks. In a testing laboratory, when sample tubes need to be retrieved quickly, vertically placed sample tubes can only be accessed at one angle. For users who are shorter or sitting at the lab bench, it is easy to be disturbed by the surrounding tubes when retrieving vertically placed tubes, which may cause the tubes to tip over. The tube rack needs to be tilted slightly downwards to make the retrieval direction more open, which makes it easier to retrieve the tubes. This reduces work efficiency and needs to be improved.

A support column 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tube rack 7 to connect to the base 16. The base 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the support column 15. The fixed base 16 can support the sample tubes. A fixing block 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting rack 6. A limiting ring 18 is rotatably connected inside the fixing block 17 to prevent the tension spring 19 from falling off. A tension spring 19 is fixedly installed on the surface of the limiting ring 18. A rotating disk 20 is fixedly installed at one end of the tension spring 19. A limiting block 21 is fixedly installed inside the rotating disk 20 to limit the maximum angle. The inside of the guide rail 2 is slidably connected to the pulley 4, making the movement of the placement rack 3 and the push block 13 more stable. The inside of the mounting ring 9 is slidably connected to the push block 13. The surface of the fixing block 17 is slidably connected to the rotating disk 20 and the limiting block 21, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the tube rack 7 and the limitation of the angle of the tube rack 7. The surface of the mounting rack 6 is engraved with a degree indicator bar, and the surface of the rotating disk 20 is engraved with a pointer to facilitate the observation of the degree when adjusting the angle.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Please see Figure 3-4A baffle 22 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the mounting plate 5. A rotating block 23 is rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 5. A suction cup 24 and a protrusion 25 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating block 23 to facilitate adsorption and fixation of the mounting plate 5 when it is taken out. The surface of the baffle 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 23. The rotating block 23 is limited when it is stored.
[0029] Working principle: First, open the cabinet door of storage cabinet 1, pull the handle of placement rack 3 so that the pulleys 4 on both sides slide inside the guide rail 2, thereby pulling placement rack 3 out of storage cabinet 1. Then, remove the mounting plate 5 from the surface of placement rack 3, push placement rack 3 back, and close the cabinet door. Then, place mounting plate 5 on the testing table, grasp the protrusion 25 to make the rotating block 23 disengage from the baffle 22, rotate it to make the suction cup 24 rotate to the table, and then press the rotating block 23 to make the suction cup 24 adhere to the table, thus fixing mounting plate 5, which facilitates the subsequent retrieval of sample tubes. When it is necessary to adjust the test tube rack 7... To adjust the angle, first pull the rotating disk 20 to apply force to the tension spring 19, causing the rotating disk 20 to slide outward on the surface of the fixed block 17. Then rotate the rotating disk 20 so that the limiting ring 18 fixed at the other end of the tension spring 19 rotates inside the fixed block 17. After rotating to the appropriate position, release the rotating disk 20. The tension spring 19 will drive the rotating disk 20 to slowly pull back, thus fixing the adjusted angle. The adjustable angles are 15 degrees and 30 degrees, which correspond to 2 / 3 and 1 / 3 of the sample content inside the sample tube, respectively. For safety reasons, limiting blocks 21 are set inside the rotating disk 20 for other angles to prevent them from exceeding the maximum angle of 30 degrees.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
