[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] As attached Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated reversible medical centrifuge tube production clamping device includes a base 1, a batch clamping assembly 6, and a drain basket 12. Supporting rods 2 are arranged on both sides of the upper end of the base 1. A motor 3 is installed on one side of one set of supporting rods 2. Rotating plates 4 are installed on the opposite sides of the upper ends of the two sets of supporting rods 2. Connecting rods 5 are connected to the opposite sides of the two sets of rotating plates 4, and sliding grooves 41 are formed on the opposite sides of the two sets of rotating plates 4. The batch clamping assembly 6 is installed in front of the connecting rods 5. The batch clamping assembly 6 includes... It includes a clamping plate 601, which is located in front of the connecting rod 5. There are two sets of clamping plates 601. Each set of clamping plates 601 has an installation groove 602 on one side of the opposite face. The inner wall of the installation groove 602 is provided with a rubber limiting ring 603. Several sets of rubber limiting rings 603 are provided. The bottom of the installation groove 602 is provided with a limiting base 604. Both ends of one set of clamping plates 601 are provided with sliders 605. An electric push rod 7 is installed at the center of the rear end face of the connecting rod 5.
[0026] A waste liquid collection tank 9 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the base 1. A collection rack 10 is provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the waste liquid collection tank 9. Fixing blocks 11 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the collection rack 10. A drain basket 12 is installed below the collection rack 10. Handles 13 are provided at the front and rear of the upper surface of the collection rack 10. A drain pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the front end of the waste liquid collection tank 9. A valve 15 is installed on the body of the drain pipe 14.
[0027] Among them, the load-bearing rod 2 provides a solid foundation support for the entire device, ensuring the stability of the equipment when the batch clamping assembly 6 clamps the centrifuge tubes and when the rotating plate 4 drives the centrifuge tubes to flip. The rotating plates 4 at the upper ends of the two sets of load-bearing rods 2 are arranged opposite each other and connected by connecting rods 5. This structural design allows the rotating plate 4 to rotate around the axis of the motor 3 on one side of the load-bearing rod 2 for flipping operations. The two sets of clamping plates 601 in the batch clamping assembly 6 are arranged opposite each other. The limiting base 604 first provides a platform for placing centrifuge tubes, and the internal holes facilitate the limiting of the tip of the centrifuge tubes. The electric push rod 7 drives one set of clamping plates 601 through the sliders at both ends. The centrifuge tube 605 moves along the slide groove 41 between the two sets of rotating plates 4, thereby approaching another set of fixed clamping plates 601. Multiple centrifuge tubes can be clamped simultaneously through multiple sets of mounting grooves 602. The rubber limiting rings 603 within the mounting grooves 602 are made of rubber with a certain elasticity and friction, effectively clamping the centrifuge tubes and preventing displacement or detachment during flipping or movement, ensuring the safety and stability of the production process. Furthermore, the multiple sets of rubber limiting rings 603 ensure tight positioning, using the friction effect of the rubber limiting rings 603 to prevent slippage, and also providing flexible clamping of the centrifuge tubes through their soft properties. The equipment's versatility and applicability are enhanced. The waste liquid collection tank 9 at the center of the upper surface of the base 1 can promptly collect various waste liquids and debris generated during centrifuge tube production. The collection rack 10, located at the upper end of the inner cavity of the waste liquid collection tank 9, provides a stable limiting platform for the drain basket 12. After the centrifuge tubes undergo clamping and processing, they fall into the drain basket 12, where excess water is further drained naturally. The drained liquid flows into the waste liquid collection tank 9 through the mesh of the drain basket 12. The fixing blocks 11 on both sides of the upper end of the collection rack 10 can position and fix the drain basket 12, preventing it from becoming loose during use. To prevent displacement or shaking during the draining process, handles 13 are provided at the front and rear of the upper surface of the collection rack 10 to facilitate the removal of the collection rack 10 and the drain basket 12 from the waste liquid collection tank 9 by the operator. This allows for cleaning or replacement of the drain basket 12, or further collection and processing of the collected centrifuge tubes. The drain pipe 14 at the bottom of the front surface of the waste liquid collection tank 9 provides a channel for the discharge of waste liquid. The valve 15 installed on the pipe can control the discharge speed and time of the waste liquid. The operator can flexibly open or close the valve 15 according to the actual situation to achieve orderly discharge and treatment of waste liquid and reduce the risk of environmental pollution.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown below, see details:
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, telescopic rods 8 are provided on both sides between the connecting rod 5 and one of the clamping plates 601. Two sets of sliders 605 abut against the inner surfaces of the two sets of sliding grooves 41 respectively. The output end of the electric push rod 7 passes through the connecting rod 5 and is connected to one of the clamping plates 601. Furthermore, the telescopic rods 8 are connected between the connecting rod 5 and one of the clamping plates 601, and can play a guiding and auxiliary support role during the movement of the clamping plate 601. The two sets of sliders 605 abut against the inner surfaces of the two sets of sliding grooves 41 respectively, so that the clamping plate 601 can move smoothly longitudinally on the rotating plate 4.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, when the output end of the electric push rod 7 drives one of the clamping plates 601, the clamping plate 601 moves linearly along the inner surface of the two sets of sliding grooves 41 via two sets of sliders 605. Furthermore, when the electric push rod 7 drives the clamping plate 601, the cooperation between the slider 605 and the sliding groove 41 restricts the movement direction of the clamping plate 601, which can strictly ensure that the movement trajectory of the clamping plate 601 is a straight line. The linear movement can ensure that the two sets of clamping plates 601 are accurately brought closer to each other.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, every two sets of mounting slots 602 are combined into a cylindrical structure, and the two sets of clamping plates 601 correspond to each other in a mirror manner. Adjusting the extension and retraction length of the electric push rod 7 changes the position of one set of clamping plates 601, controlling the two sets of clamping plates 601 to abut against each other. Furthermore, the combination of every two sets of mounting slots 602 into a cylindrical structure allows the mounting slots 602 to fit well into the cylindrical shape of the centrifuge tube, and the two sets of clamping plates 601 correspond to each other in a mirror manner, allowing for a surrounding clamping of the centrifuge tube from opposite sides. By adjusting the extension and retraction length of the electric push rod 7 to change the position of one set of clamping plates 601, and thus controlling the two sets of clamping plates 601 to abut against each other, the clamping spacing can be flexibly adjusted.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the drain basket 12 is a wire mesh, and four sets of fixing blocks 11 are provided. The collection rack 10 is limited by abutting against both sides of the upper end of the waste liquid collection tank 9 through the fixing blocks 11. Furthermore, the wire mesh design of the drain basket 12 allows the liquid to be quickly discharged through the mesh under the action of gravity. The four sets of fixing blocks 11 enable the collection rack 10 to accurately abut against both sides of the upper end of the waste liquid collection tank 9 for limitation. During installation, it is only necessary to place the collection rack 10 at the upper end of the waste liquid collection tank 9 so that the fixing blocks 11 abut against it.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the motor 3 is used to drive one set of rotating plates 4 to rotate around its axis, and the other set of rotating plates 4 is movably connected to one set of load-bearing rods 2 through a rotating shaft; further, the motor 3 drives one set of rotating plates 4 to rotate around its axis, thereby causing the other set of rotating plates 4 to flip simultaneously.
[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, when the equipment is working, the distance between the two sets of clamping plates 601 is adjusted by adjusting the extension length of the electric push rod 7 according to the specifications of the centrifuge tube to be processed. The extension end of the electric push rod 7 extends and retracts, driving the connected set of clamping plates 601 to move linearly along the slide groove 41 through the slider 605, so that the two sets of clamping plates 601 move closer or further apart until a suitable distance is found to match the diameter of the centrifuge tube. The telescopic rod 8 is connected between the connecting rod 5 and one of the sets of clamping plates 601, and can guide and... The auxiliary support places the centrifuge tube in the mounting grooves 602 on opposite sides of the two sets of clamping plates 601. At the same time, the limiting base 604 provides support. The rubber limiting ring 603 in the mounting groove 602 provides flexible clamping force when the two sets of mounting grooves 602 approach each other to clamp the centrifuge tube, and prevents the centrifuge tube from slipping through the friction of the rubber. Then, the motor 3 is started, and the motor 3 drives a set of rotating plates 4 connected to it to rotate around its axis. Since the other set of rotating plates 4 is movably connected to the load-bearing rod 2 through a rotating shaft, the two sets of rotating plates 4 can rotate relative to each other, thereby realizing the flipping action of the centrifuge tube.
[0036] After the centrifuge tubes have finished the clamping and cleaning processes, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 is retracted, causing the centrifuge tubes to lose their clamping and fall into the drain basket 12. The wire mesh structure of the drain basket 12 allows residual liquid to flow through the mesh into the waste liquid collection tank 9 below. The waste liquid collected in the waste liquid collection tank 9 can be discharged at an appropriate time by opening the valve 15 on the drain pipe 14. The collection rack 10 is stably limited on both sides of the upper end of the waste liquid collection tank 9 by four sets of fixing blocks 11, ensuring the safety and reliability of the draining process. When it is necessary to collect, transfer, clean or replace the collection rack 10 or the drain basket 12, the operator can lift the collection rack 10 from the waste liquid collection tank 9 through the handle 13. The above is the working principle of this flip-up medical centrifuge tube production clamping equipment.
