Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sample storage technology, specifically relating to a sample storage device for detecting recombinant factor C of horseshoe crabs. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of biomedical research, especially when using recombinant Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) factor C to analyze endotoxins in samples, ensuring the sterility of the samples is crucial. This is because the activity and stability of components such as recombinant LAL factor C may be affected when contaminated, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a sample storage device that can effectively maintain the sterility of the samples.

[0003] Existing sample storage devices typically include sample racks, refrigeration functions, and basic sterilization methods such as ultraviolet germicidal lamps. However, these devices have some limitations. For example, ultraviolet germicidal lamps are usually fixed in a specific location on the device and cannot be adjusted according to the specific layout of the sample storage. This results in the germicidal lamp light not being able to evenly cover all samples in some cases, thus affecting the sterilization effect. In addition, due to the diversity of sample storage layouts, germicidal lamps in fixed positions may not be able to effectively sterilize sample racks of different sizes and shapes, thus failing to guarantee the sterility of all samples.

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes an improved solution based on existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sample storage device for detecting recombinant factor C of horseshoe crabs, which can adjust the position of the germicidal lamp according to the layout of the sample storage, so that the germicidal light can evenly cover each sample, greatly improving the sterilization effect.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A sample storage device for detecting recombinant factor C of horseshoe crabs includes a storage chamber containing multiple sample tubes. A top cover is installed on the top of the storage chamber, and two sliding plates are provided at the bottom of the top cover. Multiple germicidal lamps are installed at the bottom of each of the two sliding plates.

[0008] A drive mechanism is installed inside the top cover, which is used to drive the two sliding plates to move.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a reverse screw, the threads at both ends of the reverse screw have opposite directions, and the outer sides of both ends of the reverse screw are respectively threadedly connected to the two sliding plates. The reverse screw is rotatably connected to the top cover. A first motor is installed on the outer side of the top cover. The output end of the first motor passes through the top cover and is connected to one end of the reverse screw. At least one limiting rod is also fixed inside the top cover, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the two sliding plates.

[0010] An adjustment component is installed at the bottom of the sliding plate, which is used to adjust the gap between the two germicidal lamps.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment assembly includes a first spring fixed between two adjacent germicidal lamps, a second spring installed between the germicidal lamp at the far end of one side and the sliding plate, and a pull rope fixed on the side of the germicidal lamp at the far end of the other germicidal lamps on the other side. A take-up roller is rotatably connected to the sliding plate, and the pull rope is wound around the outside of the take-up roller. A second motor is also installed on the sliding plate, and the output end of the second motor drives the take-up roller to rotate through a linkage mechanism.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the linkage mechanism includes a worm gear fixed to the output end of the second motor, and the worm gear is rotatably connected to the top cover.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a storage battery is provided inside the top cover.

[0015] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention uses a first motor to drive the rotation of a reverse screw, which in turn moves a sliding plate. This allows the position of the germicidal lamp to be adjusted according to the layout of the sample storage. Through this adjustment mechanism, the germicidal lamp can be closer to the sample, or its position can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the sample rack, so that the germicidal light can evenly cover each sample, greatly improving the sterilization effect.

[0025] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a sample storage device for detecting recombinant factor C of horseshoe crabs includes a storage chamber 1, in which multiple sample tubes 3 are placed. A top cover 2 is installed on the top of the storage chamber 1, and two sliding plates 4 are provided at the bottom of the top cover 2. Multiple germicidal lamps 5 are installed at the bottom of each of the two sliding plates 4. Furthermore, a conductive plate is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 4, and a conductive sheet is fixed on the top of the germicidal lamp 5, and the conductive sheet is in contact with the conductive plate. Through this arrangement, when the germicidal lamp 5 moves, the conductive sheet on it is in contact with the conductive plate on the sliding plate 4, so that the germicidal lamp 5 is always energized.

[0027] The sample tube 3 is stored in the storage chamber 1 and sterilized by the germicidal lamp 5;

[0028] A drive mechanism is installed inside the top cover 2, which is used to drive the two sliding plates 4 to move.

[0029] See attached document Figure 4The driving mechanism includes a reverse screw 6, the threads at both ends of the reverse screw 6 are turned in opposite directions, and the outer sides of both ends of the reverse screw 6 are threadedly connected to two sliding plates 4 respectively. The reverse screw 6 is rotatably connected to the top cover 2. A first motor 8 is installed on the outer side of the top cover 2. The output end of the first motor 8 passes through the top cover 2 and is connected to one end of the reverse screw 6. At least one limiting rod 7 is also fixed inside the top cover 2, and the limiting rod 7 is slidably connected to the two sliding plates 4.

[0030] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the two sliding plates 4, the first motor 8 is driven so that the output end of the first motor 8 drives the reverse screw 6 to rotate. The two sliding plates 4 are threaded to the outer sides of both ends of the reverse screw 6. By limiting the position of the limit rod 7, the two sliding plates 4 can move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the position of the germicidal lamp 5 under the two sliding plates 4.

[0031] An adjustment component is installed at the bottom of the sliding plate 4, which is used to adjust the gap between the two germicidal lamps 5.

[0032] See attached document Figure 5 The adjustment assembly includes a first spring 9 fixed between two adjacent germicidal lamps 5, a second spring 10 installed between the germicidal lamp 5 at the far end of one side and the sliding plate 4, and a pull rope 11 fixed on the side of the germicidal lamp 5 at the far end of the other germicidal lamps 5. A take-up roller 13 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 4, and the pull rope 11 is wound around the outside of the take-up roller 13. A second motor 12 is also installed on the sliding plate 4. The output end of the second motor 12 drives the take-up roller 13 to rotate through a linkage mechanism. Furthermore, a battery is installed inside the top cover 2. This arrangement enables the top cover 2 to supply power to the first motor 8, the second motor 12 and the germicidal lamps 5 for a short time when the external power is cut off.

[0033] When adjusting the gap between multiple germicidal lamps 5, the second motor 12 can be driven to rotate the winding roller 13 and wind up the pull rope 11, pulling the first germicidal lamp 5 to move towards the pull rope 11, thereby pulling multiple first springs 9. By evenly distributing the force of multiple first springs 9, multiple germicidal lamps 5 can move simultaneously. During the movement, the gap between two adjacent germicidal lamps 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distribution position of the germicidal lamps 5 as needed.

[0034] See attached document Figure 5 The linkage mechanism includes a worm gear 14 fixed on the output end of the second motor 12, and the worm gear 14 is rotatably connected to the top cover 2. A worm wheel 15 is meshed on the outer side of the worm gear 14, and the worm wheel 15 is fixed to one end of the take-up roller 13.

[0035] With this configuration, the output of the second motor 12 first drives the worm 14 to rotate, and through the meshing connection between the worm 14 and the worm wheel 15, the worm 14 can drive the worm wheel 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the take-up roller 13 to rotate, thus winding or unwinding the pull rope 11. Due to the characteristics of the worm 14 and the worm wheel 15, the worm 14 can drive the worm wheel 15 to rotate, while the tension generated by the pull rope 11 and the first spring 9 cannot drive the worm wheel 15 to rotate.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
