[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a pipette volume calibration device, including a support plate 1 and a liquid storage cup 2 set at the upper left end. A weighing module 3 is set at the upper right end of the support plate 1, and a measuring cup 4 is placed on the upper end of the weighing module 3. A lifting rod 5 passes through the middle of the support plate 1, and a support rod 6 is fixed at the upper end of the lifting rod 5. A hole is opened on the left side of the support rod 6, and a clamping block 7 is set inside the hole. The clamping block 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hole. A threaded rod 8 passes through the left end of the support rod 6, and the threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the support rod 6. The right end of the threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the clamping block 7. The weighing module 3 can accurately weigh the weight of the liquid discharged from the pipette into the measuring cup 4. In use, the pipette is first placed through the hole, and the shape of the hole matches the outer wall of the pipette. After placement, the threaded rod 8 is rotated to drive the clamping block 7 to move inside the hole, thereby clamping and fixing the pipette and maintaining stability during subsequent calibration operations.
[0031] A first electric push rod 9 is fixed to the left end of the support rod 6, and a pressure plate 10 is fixed to the upper end of the first electric push rod 9. The pressure plate 10 extends to the top of the hole on the left side. The first electric push rod 9 and the pressure plate 10 can be used to perform liquid aspiration and dispensing operations on the pipette. The first electric push rod 9 is a high-precision servo push rod, which can achieve precise extension and retraction with the help of the PLC control unit. The first electric push rod 9 drives the pressure plate 10 to lift and lower to control the pipette to aspirate and dispense liquid.
[0032] A driven gear 11 is rotatably mounted inside the support plate 1, and a limit sleeve 12 is fixed to the upper end of the driven gear 11. The lifting rod 5 passes through the limit sleeve 12. A power motor 13 is fixed to the lower right side of the support plate 1, and a drive gear 14 is connected to the upper shaft end of the power motor 13. The drive gear 14 is located inside the support plate 1, and the upper shaft end of the power motor 13 extends into the support plate 1 and is fixed to the drive gear 14. The drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 11. The limit sleeve 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 1, and the lifting rod 5 is slidably connected to the limit sleeve 12. The lifting rod 5 has a square structure design. A second electric motor is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1. The push rod 15, and the second electric push rod 15 is suspended by an "L"-shaped fixing bracket. The upper end of the second electric push rod 15 is fixed with a transmission plate 16, and the right side of the transmission plate 16 is rotatably connected to the lifting rod 5. The drive gear 14 can be driven to rotate by the power motor 13. The drive gear 14 and the driven gear 11 cooperate to drive the limiting sleeve 12 and the lifting rod 5 to rotate synchronously, which can realize the rotation and transfer position of the pipette. At the same time, since the pipette needs to be upgraded when aspirating and discharging liquid, the second electric push rod 15 can be used to push the transmission plate 16 to move, and the transmission plate 16 can be used to drive the lifting rod 5 to rise and fall. The transmission plate 16 and the lifting rod 5 are rotatably connected to avoid motion interference.
[0033] The weighing module 3 is provided with support frames 17 on both sides, and the upper end of the support frame 17 is connected to the absorbent sponge 18. The support frame 17 is designed in an "L" shape and is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the measuring cup 4. The support frame 17 is used to fix the absorbent sponge 18. When the pipette rotates and moves to the middle of the two sets of absorbent sponges 18, it can absorb the residual liquid attached to the outer wall of the lower pipette head, so as to avoid affecting the calibration accuracy.
[0034] This completes a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
