Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water cooling technology, specifically a water cooling device for exchanging liquid heat outside an electrophoresis / transfer tank. Background Technology

[0002] Immunoblotting is a technique that uses SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to separate proteins of different molecular weights in a sample. Then, through electrotransfer, the proteins are quantitatively transferred from the gel and almost in situ replicated and immobilized onto a solid membrane. The specific binding reaction of antigens and antibodies, along with specialized antibody labeling techniques and corresponding detection methods, allows for qualitative and relative quantitative detection of the target protein. It is one of the most commonly used techniques in life science research. However, the electrophoresis and transfer processes generate a significant amount of heat, which greatly affects the process. Cooling the liquid during electrophoresis and transfer has become a pressing issue. This patent designs a device that exchanges heat with the liquid outside the electrophoresis and transfer tank. This device can release excess heat without stopping the electrophoresis and transfer process, thereby stabilizing the temperature of the relevant experiments in a safe and convenient manner. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-cooling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water-cooling device, comprising a tank, with an inlet pipe and a guide pipe symmetrically installed at the upper end of the tank. The inlet pipe and the guide pipe are both connected to a transition chamber via water pumps. Two connecting chambers are symmetrically installed at the other end of the transition chamber. Multiple water pumps are installed inside the connecting chambers. A cooling chamber is installed at the other end of the two connecting chambers. The cooling chamber is filled with coolant. Multiple circulation pipes are installed inside the cooling chamber. The two ends of the circulation pipes are respectively connected to the water pumps inside the two connecting chambers.

[0005] Preferably, a temperature sensor is installed inside the cooling chamber.

[0006] Preferably, the transition chamber includes a hot water tank and a circulating water tank. The two ends of the hot water tank are respectively connected to a connecting chamber and a water pipe, and the two ends of the circulating water tank are respectively connected to another connecting chamber and a water inlet pipe. The hot water tank and the circulating water tank are separated by a partition.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding ring is installed at both ends of the circulation pipeline, and four limiting slide rods are arrayed on the surface of the sliding ring, with limiting grooves formed on the surface of the limiting slide rods.

[0008] Preferably, a threaded collar is threadedly connected to the surface of the circulation pipeline at a position outside the sliding ring. The surface of the threaded collar has four through holes arranged in an array. A fixed pipe is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded collar, and the other end of the fixed pipe is connected to the water pump inside the connecting chamber.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing tube, and four through holes are arrayed on the surface of the fixing ring. The through holes and the limiting slide rod are slidably connected, and an open retaining ring is engaged inside the limiting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the cooling chamber has multiple vertical plates installed inside, and multiple supporting arc plates are installed on both sides of each vertical plate. The upper end of the supporting arc plates is in contact with the lower end of the circulation pipe.

[0011] In this invention, the tank is an electrophoresis tank or a transfer tank.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This novel external exchange liquid cooling device for electrophoresis / transfer membrane tank, through the setting of a transition chamber connected to the tank body, allows the working liquid in the tank to enter the interior of the transition chamber under the action of a water pump. Then, through a water pump connected to the transition chamber, the working liquid in the transition chamber is pumped into multiple circulation pipes inside the cooling chamber for circulation. Under the action of the coolant inside the cooling chamber, the working liquid in the circulation pipes is cooled down. The cooled working liquid is then transported back to the transition chamber by a water pump inside another connecting chamber, and enters the tank body through a water pump inside the inlet pipe, thus completing the function of cooling the working liquid inside the tank body. Excess heat is released without stopping the electrophoresis and membrane transfer process, thereby stabilizing the temperature of related experiments, which is safe and convenient.

[0014] 2. A threaded connection is made between the fixed pipe and the circulation pipe using a threaded collar. Then, four limiting slide rods on one side of the sliding ring are inserted into the through holes inside the threaded collar and the fixed ring in sequence. Finally, the open retaining ring is engaged with the limiting groove. The size of the open retaining ring is larger than the size of the through hole, which can prevent the limiting slide rods from disengaging from the through hole inside the fixed ring, thereby limiting the threaded collar and preventing the threaded collar from rotating.

[0020] 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.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the water-cooling device in this embodiment includes a tank 1. A water inlet pipe 2 and a water guide pipe 3 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the tank 1. Both the water inlet pipe 2 and the water guide pipe 3 are connected to a transition chamber 4 via water pumps. Through the action of the water pumps, the working fluid inside the tank 1 can be drawn from inside the water guide pipe 3 into the transition chamber 4. The working fluid inside the transition chamber 4 can be drawn from the water inlet pipe 2 into the tank 1 under the action of the water pumps. Two connecting chambers 5 are symmetrically installed at the other end of the transition chamber 4. Multiple water pumps are installed inside the connecting chambers 5. The other ends of the two connecting chambers 5 are connected to a common... The cooling chamber 6 is connected to the transition chamber 4 by the connecting chamber 5. The cooling chamber 6 is filled with coolant and has multiple circulation pipes 8 installed inside. The working fluid in the transition chamber 4 can be drawn into the circulation pipes 8 by the water pump inside the connecting chamber 5. The two ends of the circulation pipes 8 are connected to the water pumps inside the two connecting chambers 5 respectively. When the working fluid enters the circulation pipes 8, it will be cooled by the coolant in the cooling chamber 6. The cooled working fluid will then be drawn back into the transition chamber 4 by the water pump.

[0023] Specifically, a temperature sensor 7 is installed inside the cooling chamber 6. The temperature sensor 7 can monitor the temperature inside the cooling chamber 6 at all times. When the temperature is too high, coolant needs to be added in time to cool the inside of the cooling chamber 6. Common coolant such as ice water can be selected.

[0024] Furthermore, the transition chamber 4 includes a hot water tank 401 and a circulating water tank 402. The two ends of the hot water tank 401 are connected to a connecting chamber 5 and a water guide pipe 3, respectively. The two ends of the circulating water tank 402 are connected to another connecting chamber 5 and a water inlet pipe 2, respectively. The hot water tank 401 and the circulating water tank 402 are separated by a partition. By setting up the hot water tank 401 and the circulating water tank 402, the working fluid with a higher temperature inside the tank 1 will be pumped into the hot water tank 401 through the water pump and the water guide pipe 3. The liquid inside the hot water tank 401 enters the cooling chamber 6 to cool down. The cooled liquid enters the circulating water tank 402 and is then introduced into the tank 1 through the water pump and the water inlet pipe 2.

[0025] Furthermore, a sliding ring 10 is installed at both ends of the circulation pipe 8. Four limiting slide rods 13 are arrayed on the surface of the sliding ring 10, and limiting grooves 14 are formed on the surface of the limiting slide rods 13. A threaded collar 12 is threadedly connected to the surface of the circulation pipe 8 outside the sliding ring 10. The surface of the threaded collar 12 has four through holes arrayed. A fixing pipe 9 is threadedly connected inside the threaded collar 12. The other end of the fixing pipe 9 is connected to the water pump inside the connecting chamber 5. A fixing ring 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing pipe 9. The surface of the fixing ring 11 has four through holes arrayed. The through hole and the limiting slide rod 13 are slidably connected. The inside of the limiting groove 14 is fitted with an open retaining ring 15. The fixed pipe 9 and the circulation pipe 8 are connected by a threaded collar 12. Then, the four limiting slide rods 13 on one side of the sliding ring 10 are inserted into the through holes inside the threaded collar 12 and the fixed ring 11 in sequence. Finally, the open retaining ring 15 is fitted with the limiting groove 14. The size of the open retaining ring 15 is larger than the size of the through hole, which can prevent the limiting slide rod 13 from disengaging from the through hole inside the fixed ring 11, thereby limiting the threaded collar 12 and preventing the threaded collar 12 from rotating.

[0026] Furthermore, the interior of the cooling chamber 6 is equipped with multiple vertical plates 16, and multiple supporting arc plates 17 are installed on both sides of the vertical plates 16. The upper end of the supporting arc plate 17 is in contact with the lower end of the circulation pipe 8. The multiple supporting arc plates 17 can support the circulation pipe 8 inside the cooling chamber 6.

[0027] The method of use in this embodiment is as follows: By setting up a transition chamber 4 that communicates with the tank 1, the working fluid in the tank 1 will enter the interior of the transition chamber 4 under the action of a water pump. Then, through the water pump inside the connecting chamber 5, the working fluid inside the transition chamber 4 will be pumped into multiple circulation pipes 8 inside the cooling chamber 6 for circulation. Under the action of the coolant inside the cooling chamber 6, the working fluid inside the circulation pipes 8 will be cooled down. After cooling down, the working fluid will be pumped back into the transition chamber 4 under the action of another water pump inside the connecting chamber 5, and then enter the tank 1 through the water pump inside the inlet pipe 2, thus completing the function of cooling the working fluid inside the tank 1. Excess heat is released without stopping the electrophoresis and membrane transfer process, thereby stabilizing the temperature of the relevant experiments, which is safe and convenient.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
