Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8 The present invention will be further described in detail below:

[0024] This utility model discloses a combination reagent kit for DNA purification experiments, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a combination reagent kit for DNA purification experiments, comprising a box body 1, a damping rotating shaft 2 on the bottom wall of the box body 1, a sorting tray 3 rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the box body 1 via the damping rotating shaft 2, a driving component for driving the sorting tray 3 to rotate at the bottom of the box body 1, and a battery 4 for powering the driving component inside the box body 1; a top cover 5 rotatably connected to the upper opening of the box body 1, a fan-shaped hole 51 penetrating through the top of the top cover 5, a fan-shaped cover plate 52 rotatably connected inside the top cover 5 for closing the fan-shaped hole 51, and a rotating component for fixing the opening and closing position of the top cover 5 on the side wall; in this embodiment, the positions of the fan-shaped hole 51 and the fan-shaped cover plate 52 are as follows. Figure 3As shown, a sector-shaped chamber is formed on the inner wall of the sector-shaped hole 51. A sector-shaped cover plate 52 for closing the sector-shaped hole 51 is rotatably connected inside the sector-shaped chamber. The area of ​​the sector-shaped hole 51 is slightly larger than the area of ​​the sector-shaped storage area 31, which facilitates reagent retrieval and maintains the airtightness of the box 1 when not in use. By setting up a driving component and a classification storage tray 3, the automatic rotation of the classification storage tray 3 is achieved, allowing users to easily select the required reagents without manual searching, improving the convenience of experimental operations. The rotating component allows the top cover 5 to be in both open and closed states. After the experiment is completed, the top cover 5 can be opened to replace all reagents. The classification storage tray 3 allows different types of reagents to be stored separately, preventing the misuse or incorrect loading / unloading of reagents.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the top of the classification storage tray 3 is provided with four sector-shaped storage areas 31, each with a central angle of 90 degrees. Each sector-shaped storage area 31 has several storage holes 32 at its top. In this embodiment, there are four sector-shaped storage areas 31, corresponding to the equilibration buffer BL, binding buffer PB, washing buffer PW, and elution buffer EB used in the purification process. The number of sector-shaped storage areas 31 can also be set differently according to the needs of different purification methods. In this purification method, four types of reagents are required. The sector-shaped storage areas 31 correspond to the sector-shaped holes 51, through which reagents on the surface of the sector-shaped storage area 31 can be retrieved. By setting four sector-shaped storage areas 31, each with storage holes 32, different types of reagents can be stored in an orderly manner, avoiding confusion and mispacking. Preferably, the type of reagent in each sector-shaped storage area 31 can be determined by setting different colors for different sector-shaped storage areas 31, or by affixing corresponding type labels to the sector-shaped storage areas 31.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a servo motor 61, an intermittent turntable 62, a turntable 63, and a lever 64. The servo motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the housing 1. The output end of the servo motor 61 is fixedly connected to the turntable 63. A lever 64 is located near the edge of the top of the turntable 63. The intermittent turntable 62 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the damping shaft 2. A lever groove 65 is provided on the side wall of the intermittent turntable 62, and the lever 64 can cooperate with the lever groove 65 to drive the damping shaft 2 to rotate. In this embodiment, the specific shape of the intermittent turntable 62 and the position of the lever 64 are as follows: Figure 5As shown. Battery 4 powers servo motor 61. The number of lever slots 65 on intermittent turntable 62 is the same as the number of sector storage areas 31. Every time turntable 63 rotates, lever 64 enters lever slot 65 once, thereby driving intermittent turntable 62 to rotate at a certain angle, so that sector storage area 31 in sector hole 51 is switched to the next sector storage area 31.

[0027] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a sliding column 71, a spring 72, and a cap 73; the sliding column 71 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper cover 5, the cap 73 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 71, one end of the spring 72 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper cover 5, and the other end of the spring 72 is fixedly connected to the cap 73; a sliding groove 74 is provided through the side wall of the box body 1, and the cap 73 can slide along the sliding groove 74; in this embodiment, the positions of the sliding column 71 and the spring 72 are as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the shape of the groove 74 is as follows Figure 7 As shown. Spring 72 is sleeved on the outside of slide post 71. One end of spring 72 is connected to the end of cap 73 located inside the housing 1, and the other end of spring 72 is connected to the outer wall of the upper cover 5. By providing a sliding groove 74, slide post 71 and cap 73 can cooperate with sliding groove 74, thereby allowing the upper cover 5 to be in a vertically open state and a horizontally closed state.

[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, the cap 73 includes a first pin portion 731 and a second pin portion 732, which are integrally formed. The diameter of the second pin portion 732 is larger than the diameter of the first pin portion 731. The width of the sliding groove 74 is larger than the diameter of the first pin portion 731 and smaller than the diameter of the second pin portion 732. Pin holes 75 are respectively provided at both ends of the sliding groove 74, which can cooperate with the second pin portion 732 to fix the position of the top cover 5. A stop piece 733 is integrally formed at one end of the second pin portion 732 located inside the box body 1. The diameter of the stop piece 733 is larger than the diameter of the pin hole 75. In this embodiment, the specific shape of the cap 73 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, both the first pin portion 731 and the second pin portion 732 are cylindrical, with a frustum-shaped transition section between them. The diameter of the pin hole 75 is slightly larger than the diameter of the second pin portion 732, the diameter of the second pin portion 732 is larger than the width of the slide groove 74, and the width of the slide groove 74 is larger than the diameter of the first pin portion 731. Therefore, the second pin portion 732 cannot slide within the slide groove 74, but when the second pin portion 732 enters the pin hole 75, it is fixed in the pin hole 75, thus fixing the upper cover 5 in a fixed position. The positioning of the two pin holes 75 allows the upper cover 5 to be fixed vertically and horizontally.

[0029] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0030] First, rotate the sector-shaped cover plate 52 to open the sector-shaped hole 51, and take out the reagent on the surface of the sector-shaped storage area 31 through the sector-shaped hole 51;

[0031] Next, the servo motor 61 is started, and the turntable 63 starts to rotate. Every time the turntable 63 rotates once, the lever 64 will enter the lever slot 65 once, which will drive the intermittent turntable 62 to rotate, so that the sector storage area 31 in the sector hole 51 is switched to the next sector storage area 31 and the reagent on the surface of the sector storage area 31 is taken through the sector hole 51.

[0032] Next, repeat the above steps to use up all the reagents until the experiment is over;

[0033] Finally, when all reagents need to be destroyed after the experiment, press the cap 73 to allow the first pin 731 to enter the pin hole 75, open the top cover 5, and when the first pin 731 moves along the slide groove 74 to the pin hole 75 at the other end, the spring 72 will push the second pin 732 into the pin hole 75 to fix the top cover 5. Then, remove the reagents from all the fan-shaped storage areas 31 on the surface of the classification storage tray 3 for destruction and replacement.
