Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laboratory equipment technology, and in particular to a micro-liquid separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available micro-liquid separation devices still suffer from problems such as low separation accuracy and complex operation in certain situations. Especially when processing large numbers of samples, manual operation can easily introduce errors, reducing the reliability of experimental results.

[0003] However, existing micro-liquid separation equipment has the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) Accuracy issues: Although most micro dispensers claim to achieve high accuracy, in actual use, due to limitations in the manufacturing process or wear caused by long-term use, the dispensing accuracy may decrease.

[0005] (2) High price: High-performance micro-liquid separation equipment is usually expensive, which may be a burden for small laboratories or research institutions with limited funds. In addition, the use of some micro-liquid separation equipment also requires the purchase of special consumables, such as disposable pipette tips, which also increases the cost of experiments. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a micro-liquid separation device to achieve precise control of micro-liquids.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, one of the objectives of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A micro-liquid separator includes a base plate, a column fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate, a protective box mounted on the top of the column, a plunger pump mounted inside the protective box, a crossbeam fixedly mounted on the top of the column and located below the protective box, a mounting column slidably mounted on the crossbeam, a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting column, and a plurality of liquid dosing needles mounted on the mounting plate, wherein the liquid dosing needles are connected to the plunger pump via pipes.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting column is movably sleeved on the crossbeam, and the crossbeam is provided with a reciprocating moving assembly capable of driving the mounting column to move. The reciprocating moving assembly includes a rack fixedly mounted on the top of the crossbeam and located inside the mounting column, a mounting block fixedly mounted on the mounting column, a drive motor fixedly mounted on the mounting block, a drive shaft that rotates forward and backward via the drive motor, and a drive gear that rotates forward and backward via the drive shaft and meshes with the rack.

[0010] Furthermore, a horizontal plate is fixedly provided on the top of the base plate, and a placement shell is slidably provided on the top of the horizontal plate, the placement shell being able to correspond to the position of the liquid injection needle.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the horizontal plate is provided with a groove corresponding to the placement shell, and a sliding column fixedly connected to the placement shell is slidably disposed in the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a control module is also provided on the top of the base plate, and the plunger pump is electrically connected to the control module.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) By using a plunger pump as the core component and a control module, precise control of micro-liquids can be achieved. Compared with existing technologies, this solves the technical problem that the separation accuracy may decrease due to manufacturing process limitations or wear caused by long-term use. The main body of the equipment adopts a consumable-free design, which does not require pipette tips at all. The volume of all pipelines is reduced to 120ul, which greatly reduces the loss of precious reagents and lowers the cost. Compared with existing technologies, this solves the technical problem that some micro-liquid separation equipment still requires the purchase of special consumables, such as disposable pipette tips, which also increases the cost of experiments.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a micro-liquid separation device, which includes a base plate 2, a column 3 fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 2, a protective box 4 installed on the top of the column 3, a plunger pump installed in the protective box 4, a crossbeam 5 fixedly installed on the top of the column 3 and located below the protective box 4, a mounting column 6 slidably installed on the crossbeam 5, a mounting plate 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting column 6, and a plurality of liquid injection needles 8 installed on the mounting plate 7. The liquid injection needles 8 are connected to the plunger pump through pipes.

[0024] A micro-volume liquid separator includes a base plate 2, a column 3 fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 2, a protective box 4 mounted on the top of the column 3, a plunger pump mounted inside the protective box 4 with its inlet connected to the liquid, a control module 18 mounted on the top of the base plate 2 for electrical connection between the plunger pump and the control module 18, a crossbeam 5 fixedly mounted on the top of the column 3 and located below the protective box 4, a mounting column 6 slidably mounted on the crossbeam 5, a mounting plate 7 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mounting column 6, and several liquid injection needles 8 mounted on the mounting plate 7 for connection to the plunger pump via pipes. By using a plunger pump as the core component, in conjunction with the control module 18, precise control of micro-liquids is achieved. Compared with existing technologies, this solves the technical problem that the accuracy of liquid separation may decrease due to manufacturing process limitations or wear caused by long-term use. The main body of the device adopts a consumable-free design, completely eliminating the need for pipette tips and reducing the volume of all tubing to 120ul, greatly reducing the loss of precious reagents and lowering costs. Compared with existing technologies, this solves the technical problem that some micro-liquid separation devices still require the purchase of special consumables, such as disposable pipette tips, which increases the cost of experiments.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting column 6 is movably mounted on the crossbeam 5, and the crossbeam 5 is provided with a reciprocating moving assembly 1 capable of driving the mounting column 6 to move. The reciprocating moving assembly 1 includes a rack 13 fixedly mounted on the top of the crossbeam 5 and located inside the mounting column 6, a mounting block 14 fixedly mounted on the mounting column 6, a drive motor 15 fixedly mounted on the mounting block 14, a drive shaft 16 that rotates forward and backward via the drive motor 15, and a drive gear 17 that rotates forward and backward via the drive shaft 16 and meshes with the rack 13.

[0026] The mounting post 6 is movably fitted onto the crossbeam 5. A reciprocating moving assembly 1, capable of driving the mounting post 6, is mounted on the crossbeam 5. The reciprocating moving assembly 1 includes a rack 13 fixedly mounted on the top of the crossbeam 5 and located inside the mounting post 6. A mounting block 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting post 6. A drive motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the mounting block 14. A drive shaft 16 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the drive motor 15. A drive gear 17, meshing with the rack 13, is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 16. In use, the drive motor 15 is started, and its forward and reverse rotation moves the filling needle 8 back and forth. The drive motor 15 drives the drive shaft 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 17 to rotate. The drive gear 17 meshes with the rack 13, allowing the mounting post 6 to move on the crossbeam 5, thereby moving the filling needle 8.

[0027] Furthermore, a horizontal plate 9 is fixedly provided on the top of the base plate 2, and a placement shell 10 is slidably provided on the top of the horizontal plate 9. The placement shell 10 can correspond to the position of the liquid injection needle 8, and a reaction cup can be placed inside the placement shell 10.
