It should be appreciated that these specific details are not intended to limit the present application.

Any relative terms will be construed in the context of the application as a whole. The individual features of the embodiments can also be combined in other combinations than presented in the examples without departing from the scope of the application.

[0030] Reference will now be made to Figure 1 Figure 3 The centrifuge driving unbalance detection device of the present application comprises:

[0031] The mounting portion 4 is used for connecting with the centrifuge rotor;

[0032] The transmission shaft 5 is installed between the mounting portion 4 and the motor;

[0033] The sealing assembly 6 comprises a sealing sleeve 61 and a rubber sealing sleeve 62. The sealing sleeve 61 is arranged on the surface of the transmission shaft 5. The rubber sealing sleeve 62 is arranged on the surface of the sealing sleeve 61, and is used for protecting the motor below the transmission shaft 5, so as to prevent the centrifugal sample from leaking into the motor and damaging the motor;

[0034] The connecting piece 1 is used for being installed on the sealing sleeve 61;

[0035] The mounting arm 2 is installed on the sealing sleeve 61 through the connecting piece 1, and the end of the mounting arm 2 away from the connecting piece 1 is detachably installed with the acceleration sensor 3.

[0036] ​The rubber sealing sleeve 62 includes a tapered portion 621, the tip of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing sleeve 61, and the bottom of the tapered portion 621 extends outward horizontally to form a fitting portion 622, which is used to fit with the centrifuge housing.

[0037] The tapered portion 621 of the rubber sealing sleeve 62 forms an installation cavity 7 on the surface of the sealing sleeve 61 for installing the connector 1. The mounting arm 2 carrying the acceleration sensor 3 is installed below the rubber sealing sleeve 62; and the top-view projection length of the mounting arm 2 is less than the top-view projection length of the rubber sealing sleeve 62.

[0038] The mounting arm 2 includes an extension section 21, a parallel section 22, and a mounting section 23. The extension section 21 is vertically mounted on the surface of the sealing sleeve 61 via a connector 1. The parallel section 22 is located at the end of the extension section 21 and is parallel to the surface of the tapered portion 621. The mounting section 23 is mounted parallel to the bottom of the mating portion 622 and is used to mount the acceleration sensor 3.

[0039] The connector 1 is installed in the center of the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 61 in the installation cavity 7.

[0040] The connector 1 is an arc-shaped plate, which is detachably connected to the sealing sleeve 61 by screws.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When the centrifuge drive swings, the connector 1 mounted on the surface of the sealing sleeve 61 will undergo a slight displacement S1 and generate a small acceleration, while the mounting section 23 located in the mounting arm 2 will undergo a larger displacement S2 in the same time. That is, the mounting section 23 on the mounting arm 2 will generate a larger acceleration. In other words, the device effectively amplifies the acceleration generated by the swing of the centrifuge drive mechanism through the mounting arm 2, so that the swing generated by the centrifuge can be effectively detected, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the centrifuge.

[0043] By making the mounting arm 2 consist of an extension section 21, a parallel section 22, and a mounting section 23, the mounting cavity 7 generated by the conical part 621 in the rubber sealing sleeve 62 can be effectively utilized, so that the installation of the imbalance detection device does not require modification of the centrifuge drive, and it can be used on a centrifuge drive mechanism with a rubber sealing sleeve 62.

[0044] Furthermore, since the connector 1 is installed inside the mounting cavity 7 formed by the rubber sealing sleeve 62, the mounting arm 2 and the acceleration sensor 3 of the device are both located in the lower half of the centrifuge drive, meaning that the installation of the device will not affect the overall balance of the centrifuge drive.

[0045] When the centrifuge drive becomes unbalanced, the connector 1 mounted on the surface of the sealing sleeve 61 will experience a radial displacement S1, while the mounting section 23 located in the mounting arm 2 will experience a larger displacement S2 within the same time period. This is calculated using the acceleration-displacement formula when the initial velocity is 0:

[0046] S = 1 / 2at 2

[0047] In the formula: S is displacement, a is acceleration, and t is time.

[0048] When time is constant, acceleration is directly proportional to displacement. During the operation of the imbalance detection device, S2 is several times greater than S1 (the specific multiple is related to the length H of the imbalance detection device), that is, the acceleration at the tail of the imbalance detection device is amplified by the same multiple, which improves the detection accuracy and effect of the acceleration sensor.

[0049] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
