Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipette technology, specifically a pipette tip disassembly device. Background Technology

[0002] The pipette tip needs to be rotated during installation to ensure a tight fit between the tip and the pipette, preventing liquid leakage. The correct way to install a pipette tip is to insert the pipette vertically into the tip, and then gently rotate it left or right by 1 / 4 or 1 / 2 turn to ensure a tight fit.

[0003] However, existing multichannel pipettes typically have a small gap between the pipette tips, making it impossible to rotate them during installation. The only way to ensure a tight fit is to manually rock the pipette back and forth. However, it is difficult to control the force of manual rocking. Excessive rocking can cause frequent impacts between the pipette tip and the nozzle, accelerating the aging of the nozzle and causing slight internal shaking that can loosen the pipette, ultimately leading to a decrease in pipette accuracy.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a pipette tip disassembly device, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a housing, within which a connecting beam 9 is slidably connected. The housing includes two mounting frames 1 that are interlocked and fastened together, with an installation space between the two mounting frames 1. One of the mounting frames 1 has a splined sleeve 2 for connecting a pipette at its top, and a positioning beam plate 3 is provided in the middle of the mounting frame 1. The positioning beam plate 3 has several sliding holes.

[0025] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the piston nozzle assembly includes a nozzle sleeve 4 rotatably mounted inside the housing, a synchronizing piston 5 slidably inserted through the middle of the nozzle sleeve 4, and a pipette tip 6 fixed to the lower end of the nozzle sleeve 4. The nozzle sleeve 4 slidably inserts into a sliding hole. A support ring is integrally formed in the middle of the outer wall of the nozzle sleeve 4. A support spring 7 is connected between the support ring and the positioning beam plate 3. A limit ring 8 is provided on the top of the synchronizing piston 5. Several push rod slots are provided on the linkage beam 9. The limiting ring 8 is rotatably connected in the push rod through groove. The top of the suction nozzle sleeve 4 is integrally formed with a connecting cap 10. A spline hole is opened in the middle of the connecting cap 10. A spline strip is opened on the side wall of the synchronous piston 5. The synchronous piston 5 slides through the spline hole. Pushing the spline push rod can drive the beam rod 9 to slide horizontally inside the housing. During the sliding process, the synchronous piston 5 is pushed to slide in the suction nozzle sleeve 4. The negative pressure generated by the piston movement can complete the pipette tip 6 to draw liquid.

[0026] likeFigure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the outer edge of the connecting cap 10 is integrally formed with a flip-ring toothed ring 11. A horizontal sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 1. Two symmetrically arranged flip-ring toothed racks 12 are slidably installed in the two horizontal sliding grooves of the mounting frames 1. The flip-ring toothed racks 12 mesh with the flip-ring toothed ring 11. Sliding slots are provided on both side walls of the housing. A flip-ring button 13 is slidably installed in the sliding slot. The flip-ring button 13 includes an integrally formed sliding button part 131, a sliding part 132, and a slanted push part 133. The sliding button part 131 slides through the sliding slot. A semi-circular groove is provided in the middle of the sliding part 132, which slides against the side wall of the sliding column. Two symmetrically arranged sliding blocks are provided in the slanted push part 133. On the front and rear sides of the sliding part 132, the inner side of the sliding block is provided with a horizontal push slope. The inclination angles of the two horizontal push slopes are symmetrical. The flip button blocks 13 on both sides are parallel to the horizontal push slopes on the same side. The horizontal push slope slides and abuts against the end of the flip rack 12. The sliding flip button blocks 13 can slide horizontally inside the housing by sliding against the flip rack 12 through the horizontal push slope. During the sliding process, the flip rack ring 11 that meshes with it can rotate inside the housing. This drives the nozzle sleeve 4 and the synchronous piston 5 to rotate as a whole inside the housing through the connecting cap 10. During the installation of the pipette tip 6, the nozzle sleeve 4 and the pipette tip 6 can rotate slightly to ensure that the two are tightly connected and the installation of the pipette tip 6 is completed.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, displacement grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the housing. A pusher plate 14 is slidably installed on the lower side of the housing. The pusher plate 14 is slidably installed in the displacement groove and abuts against the upper end of the pipette head 6. Sliding columns 15 are connected to the upper ends of the pusher plate 14. The sliding columns 15 are slidably inserted into the housing. A pressing beam 16 is provided on the top of the sliding columns 15. The pressing beam 16 is installed in the displacement groove on the upper side of the housing. A return spring 17 is provided between the pressing beam 16 and the housing. Squeezing the pressing beam 16 can push the pusher plate 14 downward and abut against the top of the pipette head 6, so that the pipette head 6 is separated from the nozzle sleeve 4, thus completing the disassembly of the pipette head 6.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In this invention, when installing the pipette tip 6, the lower side of the pipette tip sleeve 4 is vertically inserted into the upper opening of the pipette tip 6. After insertion, the flip button 13 is manually slid down. During the downward sliding process, the horizontal pushing slope of the inclined push part 133 on the front side of the flip button 13 moves the flip rack 12 to the left. At the same time, the inclination direction of the horizontal pushing slope of the symmetrical inclined push part 133 on the front side is opposite, which can move the flip rack 12 on the rear side to the right. During the translation process, the flip racks 12 on the front and rear sides remain synchronized. During this process, the sliding of the flip rack 12 can make the connecting cap 10 that meshes with it rotate on the positioning beam plate 3, that is, drive the pipette tip sleeve 4 integrally formed with it to rotate synchronously. During this process, the pipette tip sleeve 4 and the pipette tip 6 rotate relative to each other, completing a slight rotation of 1 / 4 or 1 / 2 turn to ensure that the two are tightly connected. The above operation completes the installation of the multi-channel pipette tip 6.

[0030] When it is necessary to disassemble the pipette tip 6, push the pressing beam 16 downward. The pressing beam 16, through the sliding column 15, causes the pusher plate 14 to push the top of the pipette tip 6 downward, pushing the pipette tip 6 out of the nozzle sleeve 4. The above operation completes the disassembly of the multichannel pipette tip 6.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
