DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Here, it also needs to be explained that, in order to avoid obscuring the present application due to unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present application are shown in the drawings, and other details not closely related to the present application are omitted.

[0030] In addition, it also needs to be explained that the term "comprise", "include" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or equipment.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present application provides a replacement gun head suitable for multiple specifications of pipettes, comprising:

[0032] The pipette connection area 10 has an open top, and at least two communicating cavities are arranged in the pipette connection area 10, which are arranged in a vertical downward direction and have diameters decreasing in sequence, so that a limiting portion is formed at the connection of adjacent cavities;

[0033] The liquid storage area 20 is in communication with the pipette connection area 10.

[0034] The liquid suction area 30 is located below the liquid storage area 20, and the diameter of the liquid suction area 30 is smaller than that of the liquid storage area 20, and the liquid suction area 30 is in communication with the liquid storage area 20 through the arc-shaped transition area 31.

[0035] For example, Figure 2As shown, three communicating cavities are arranged in the pipette connecting area 10, including the first cavity 11, the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13 connected in sequence in the vertical downward direction, and the diameters of the three cavities decrease in sequence in the vertical downward direction, so that the first limiting part 14 is formed between the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12, and the second limiting part 15 is formed between the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13. By arranging three cavities with different diameters in the pipette connecting area 10 and forming limiting parts, the pipette connecting area 10 can be adapted to three different specifications of pipettes 60, thereby solving the problems of the existing substitute tip that can only be adapted to a single pipette 60, single function, affecting operation efficiency and the like.

[0036] In use, the pipette 60 is generally arranged such that the end of the tip 61 on the pipette 60 is clamped in the cavity at the top of the gun head, and one end of the telescopic push rod 62 arranged around the outer periphery of the tip 61 falls on the top surface of the gun head. After the liquid suction operation is completed, the gun head is pushed out of the pipette 60 by the telescopic push rod 62. The present application can make the end of the tip 61 and the end of the telescopic push rod 62 of pipettes 60 of different specifications fall on the first cavity 11 and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10, the second cavity 12 and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10, or the third cavity 13 and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10, respectively, so that the substitute tip can be adapted to pipettes 60 of multiple specifications, improve the application range of the substitute tip, and improve the convenience of experimental operation. The size of the pipette connecting area 10 can be designed according to actual conditions, so that the pipette connecting area 10 can be adapted to the tip 61 and the telescopic push rod 62 of the large-range pipette, the medium-range pipette and the small-range pipette, respectively. Figure 4 The connection schematic diagram of different range pipettes connected with the substitute tip is shown in FIGS. 8a-8c. Figure 4 a is a connection schematic diagram of a large-range pipette and the substitute tip, the end of the tip 61 and the end of the telescopic push rod 62 of the large-range pipette are located in the first cavity 11 and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10 of the substitute tip, respectively; Figure 4 b is a connection schematic diagram of a medium-range pipette and the substitute tip, the tip 61 of the medium-range pipette passes through the first cavity 11 to the second cavity 12, so that the end of the tip 61 and the end of the telescopic push rod 62 are located in the second cavity 12 and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10 of the substitute tip, respectively; Figure 4c is a schematic diagram of the connection of the small range pipette and the adapter tip, the tip of the small range pipette passes through the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 to the third cavity 13 in sequence, so that the end of the tip 61 and the end of the telescopic push rod 62 are located on the third cavity 13 of the adapter tip and the top surface of the pipette connecting area 10 respectively. In this example, the first limiting part 14 and the second limiting part 15 are both limiting members for limiting the insertion depth of the tip 61, so that the adapter tip is adapted to different range pipettes. In other embodiments, according to the specifications of the adapted different range pipettes, the first limiting part 14 and the second limiting part 15 can also be provided as receiving members for receiving the end of the telescopic push rod 62.

[0037] In this example, the large range pipette, the medium range pipette and the small range pipette are respectively 1000 μL pipette, 200 μL pipette and 10 μL pipette.

[0038] The liquid storage area 20 and the liquid suction area 30 are also provided with scale lines indicating the amount of liquid suction, including 1000 μL scale line 21, 200 μL scale line 22 and 10 μL scale line 23 marked in the vertical downward direction in sequence, wherein the 1000 μL scale line 21 and the 200 μL scale line 22 are located in the liquid storage area 20, and the 10 μL scale line 23 is located in the liquid suction area 30.

[0039] For example, a suction protection area is also provided between the liquid storage area 20 and the pipette connecting area 10 to reduce the probability of liquid being sucked into the tip 61 of the pipette 60 due to improper operation during experimental operation.

[0040] Specifically, in the vertical downward direction, the diameters of the liquid storage area 20 and the liquid suction area 30 gradually decrease.

[0041] The setting that the diameter of the liquid suction area 30 is smaller than the diameter of the liquid storage area 20 can be adapted to the multi-cavity setting of the pipette connecting area 10, which can avoid affecting the precision of small range suction when the adapter tip is used for small range pipette 60 due to the too large diameter of the liquid suction area 30, that is, the adapter tip can meet the needs of large range liquid suction and also ensure the accuracy of small range liquid suction.

[0042] In addition, by providing the arc-shaped transition area 31 between the liquid suction area 30 and the liquid storage area 20, the smoothness of liquid flowing between the liquid suction area 30 and the liquid storage area 20 can be improved, and the probability of generating bubbles during the liquid suction process can be reduced.

[0043] Specifically, the ring body 40 gradually increases in diameter in the direction away from the liquid storage area 20, and the ring body 40 is arc-shapedly connected to the end of the pipette connecting area 10 away from the liquid storage area 20. The setting of the ring body 40 is more conducive to the pipette 60 to take the adapter tip.

[0044] Specifically, the periphery of the pipette connecting area 10 is further provided with positioning members for facilitating insertion and fixation of the replacement tip into the tip box. Exemplarily, the positioning members include a plurality of prisms 50 circumferentially spaced apart along the pipette connecting area 10, and one end of each prism 50 extends to the ring body 40. The provision of the plurality of prisms 50 can provide good support for the insertion of the replacement tip into the tip box, and the prisms 50 can also increase the strength of the pipette connecting area 10.

[0045] Specifically, the pipette connecting area 10, the liquid storage area 20, the arc-shaped transition area 31 and the liquid suction area 30 are integrally formed.

[0046] Specifically, the material of the replacement tip is polypropylene.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
