Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biological experimental device technology, and more specifically, to a container for sterilizing centrifuge tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Centrifuge tubes are commonly used laboratory equipment in biological laboratories, primarily for centrifuging samples in centrifuges. In some experiments requiring high precision, especially genetic material extraction experiments, centrifuge tubes need to be sterilized.

[0003] Currently, there are no special containers in the laboratory for holding centrifuge tubes for sterilization. Usually, the laboratory staff put multiple centrifuge tubes directly into a metal box, and then put the metal box containing the centrifuge tubes into the mesh frame in the sterilizer to sterilize the centrifuge tubes.

[0004] The above sterilization method results in incomplete sterilization due to the accumulation of centrifuge tubes in the metal container. Furthermore, the stacked centrifuge tubes are inconvenient to handle, and removing a single centrifuge tube when needed can easily contaminate other centrifuge tubes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing centrifuge tube sterilization containers lack a dedicated container, resulting in incomplete sterilization, inconvenience in handling, and susceptibility to contamination. To overcome these shortcomings, this invention provides a centrifuge tube sterilization container that allows for convenient, spaced storage of centrifuge tubes, facilitating easy handling while achieving thorough sterilization.

[0006] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] A centrifuge tube sterilization container includes multiple container cylinders and a lid. Each container cylinder has an open-top cavity. A horizontally arranged plate is detachably connected to the cavity, and the plate has several spaced-apart, vertically penetrating holes. Each hole is used to insert a centrifuge tube. All the container cylinders are vertically stacked, and any two adjacent cylinders are detachably connected together, sealing the cavity of the lower cylinder. The lid is detachably connected to the uppermost cylinder, sealing its cavity. This device facilitates centrifuge tube insertion through the holes in the plate and allows for easy selection of different hole diameters to accommodate different centrifuge tube models, improving versatility. Separating the centrifuge tubes ensures thorough sterilization and easy handling, preventing contamination of other tubes and enhancing overall ease of use and sterilization effectiveness.

[0008] Preferably, each of the containers has an external thread on its top outer peripheral wall and a first internal thread on its bottom inner peripheral wall; the external thread of one container is threadedly connected to the first internal thread of the other container to achieve a detachable connection. This threaded connection significantly improves the ease of assembly and disassembly while ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0009] Preferably, a second internal thread is provided on the inner circumferential wall at the bottom of the cover; the second internal thread is threadedly connected to the external thread of the uppermost container cylinder to achieve a detachable connection. This threaded connection significantly improves the ease of assembly and disassembly while also ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0010] Preferably, multiple limiting blocks are arranged circumferentially at intervals on the inner peripheral wall of the middle part of the holding cylinder, and all limiting blocks are on the same horizontal plane; each limiting block is provided with a first magnetic block; a second magnetic block is provided on the bottom surface of the holding plate corresponding to the position of each limiting block; when fixed, the holding plate is placed horizontally on the limiting blocks, and the first and second magnetic blocks are attracted and fixed together. The limiting blocks on the holding cylinder and the holding plate are magnetically connected for detachable assembly and disassembly, facilitating the selection of different holding plates according to different models, thus improving overall versatility.

[0011] Preferably, the number of limiting blocks is three, which are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the container, and all three limiting blocks point towards the center of the container. The three limiting blocks ensure stable support for the container plate and also guarantee the firmness of the suction.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting block is in the shape of a right-angled triangle, with one right-angled side fixedly connected to the inner wall of the container, and the other right-angled side horizontally positioned and radially pointing towards the center of the container. The right-angled triangle shape of the limiting block further ensures the stability of the container plate and guarantees the stable storage of the centrifuge tubes.

[0013] Preferably, the tray has 7 holes, and each hole is used to hold a 50ml centrifuge tube.

[0014] Preferably, the tray has 21 holes, and each hole is used to hold a 15ml centrifuge tube.

[0015] Preferably, the device also includes a wire mesh frame with an open top; the wire mesh frame is used to hold stacked containers. The wire mesh frame facilitates compatibility with the sterilizer and also makes it easy to place stacked containers.

[0016] In summary, the advantages of this utility model are that the device allows for easy insertion of centrifuge tubes through the tube holes on the holding plate, and the detachable design allows for easy selection of holding plates with different hole diameters, thus matching different models of centrifuge tubes and improving the versatility of the device. By placing the centrifuge tubes separately, thorough sterilization is ensured and they are easy to handle, while preventing contamination of other centrifuge tubes, thereby improving the overall ease of use and sterilization effect.

[0029] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a centrifuge tube sterilization container includes multiple container cylinders 1 and a cover 2. Both the container cylinders 1 and the cover 2 are cylindrical. Each container cylinder 1 has a container cavity 11 with an open top surface. A container plate 3 is detachably connected to the container cavity 11. The container plate 3 is horizontally arranged and has several spaced and vertically penetrating tube holes 31. The tube holes 31 are distributed circumferentially and divided into multiple layers. Each tube hole 31 is used to vertically insert a centrifuge tube. All container cylinders 1 are vertically stacked, and any two adjacent container cylinders 1 are detachably connected together, sealing the container cavity 11 in the lower container cylinder 1. The cover 2 is detachably connected to the uppermost container cylinder 1 and seals the container cavity 11 in the uppermost container cylinder 1. The device allows for easy insertion of centrifuge tubes through the tube holes 31 on the holding plate 3. The detachable holding plate 3 allows for easy selection of different hole diameters, thus matching different models of centrifuge tubes and improving the device's versatility. By placing the centrifuge tubes separately, thorough sterilization is ensured, and they are easy to handle without contaminating other centrifuge tubes, thereby improving overall ease of use and sterilization effect.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, each container 1 has an external thread 12 on its top outer peripheral wall and a first internal thread 13 on its bottom inner peripheral wall. The external thread 12 of one container 1 is threadedly connected to the first internal thread 13 of another container 1 to achieve a detachable connection. This threaded connection significantly improves the ease of assembly and disassembly while ensuring connection stability. Furthermore, the stackable design allows for flexible assembly of the required number of centrifuge tubes. The bottom inner peripheral wall of the cover 2 has a second internal thread 20; this second internal thread 20 is threadedly connected to the external thread 12 of the uppermost container 1 to achieve a detachable connection. This threaded connection also significantly improves the ease of assembly and disassembly while ensuring connection stability.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple limiting blocks 14 are arranged circumferentially at intervals on the inner circumferential wall of the middle part of the holding cylinder 1. In this embodiment, there are three limiting blocks 14, which are equally spaced circumferentially along the holding cylinder 1 and all three limiting blocks 14 point towards the center of the holding cylinder 1. The three limiting blocks 14 ensure stable support for the holding plate 3 and also guarantee the firmness of the magnetic attraction. All limiting blocks 14 are on the same horizontal plane; each limiting block 14 is provided with a first magnetic block 15; a second magnetic block 32 is provided on the bottom surface of the holding plate 3 corresponding to the position of each limiting block 14; when fixed, the holding plate 3 is placed horizontally on the limiting blocks 14, and the first magnetic block 15 and the second magnetic block 32 are attracted and fixed together. The limiting blocks 14 on the holding cylinder 1 and the holding plate 3 are magnetically attracted to achieve a detachable connection, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and different holding plates 3 can be selected according to different models, improving the overall versatility. Figure 5 As shown, the limiting block 14 is in the shape of a right triangle, and one of the right-angled sides of the limiting block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the container 1, while the other right-angled side of the limiting block 14 is horizontally positioned and radially points towards the center of the container 1. The right-angled triangular limiting block 14 further ensures the stability of the container plate 3 and ensures the stable storage of the centrifuge tubes.

[0033] In this embodiment, the tube holes 31 on the holding plate 3 are distributed in two forms, the first being as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the tube holes 31 on the holding plate 3 are arranged in a 7-hole configuration. The 7 holes are located at the center of the holding plate 3 and six others are evenly spaced around the center. These 7 holes are used to hold 50ml centrifuge tubes. The second type... Figure 4As shown, the tube holes 31 on the holding plate 3 are arranged in a 21-hole configuration. These 21 holes are located at the center of the holding plate 3, with 8 holes evenly spaced around the center in the first ring, and 12 holes evenly spaced around the center in the second ring. Each of the 21 holes is used to hold a 15ml centrifuge tube. During sterilization, the corresponding holding plate 3 and the number of stacked holding tubes 1 can be selected according to the required type and quantity of centrifuge tubes, allowing for free disassembly and reassembly.

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a wire mesh frame 4 with an open top; the wire mesh frame 4 is used to hold stacked containers 1. The wire mesh frame 4 facilitates its use with the sterilizer and also makes it easy to place the stacked containers 1.

[0035] The advantages of this invention are that the device allows for easy insertion of centrifuge tubes through the tube holes 31 on the holding plate 3, and the detachable nature allows for easy selection of holding plates 3 with different hole diameters, thus matching different models of centrifuge tubes and improving the versatility of the device; the vertical stacking connection allows for free combination according to the number of centrifuge tubes, greatly improving sterilization efficiency and sterilization quantity; and the separate placement of centrifuge tubes ensures thorough sterilization and easy handling, while preventing contamination of other centrifuge tubes, thus improving overall ease of use and sterilization effect.
