Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plasma centrifugation technology, and in particular to a plasma test tube centrifuge. Background Technology

[0002] A plasma centrifuge is a specialized device used to separate plasma from other components in blood. Its core principle is to use the difference in centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities. For example, high-speed rotation generates centrifugal force, causing the higher density red blood cells and white blood cells in the blood to sink to the bottom of the container, while the lower density plasma gathers in the upper layer, thus achieving stratified extraction.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN215390024U discloses a centrifugal separation device for extracting plasma proteins. It mainly involves placing test tubes in a centrifuge chamber and driving them to rotate and centrifuge by a centrifugal motor. However, the test tubes are held by two fixed clamps, relying solely on the spring of a pressure spring to hold them. When the test tubes are rotating at high speed, one end of the test tube will swing relative to the others, which can easily cause damage to the test tubes. Utility Model Content

[0006] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: By setting a horizontal plate inside the placement frame, the test tube containing plasma is passed through the through hole on the horizontal plate and supported at the bottom of the placement frame. Then, the pressure plate is pushed vertically downward to press the pressure plate against the top of the test tube. Then, the two locking components on the side wall of the placement frame lock the two connecting rods respectively, thereby keeping the pressure plate pressed against the top of the test tube and preventing the test tube from shaking during the rotation of the placement frame, thus ensuring safety when centrifuging plasma. In addition, this centrifuge is simple and convenient to operate when placing and clamping test tubes, which helps to improve the centrifugation efficiency of plasma.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the clamping screws is provided with a clamping pad at the end that is in close contact with the side wall of the connecting rod. The clamping pad is made of rubber material.

[0009] Furthermore, a number of ball bearings are rolled around at the bottom of the centrifuge chamber, and each ball bearing is rolled around and connected to the bottom of the placement frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the placement frame is provided with a support pad located directly below the horizontal plate, which is used to support the bottom of the test tube.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the top plate is hinged to the top of the centrifuge, and the other end is provided with a resilient locking element. The top of the centrifuge is provided with a slot for inserting one end of the resilient locking element.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic locking component includes: a mounting block, a spring, and a pin.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a plasma test tube centrifuge, including: a centrifuge box 1, a placement frame 4, a motor 10, a pressure plate 7, and a top plate 3. The centrifuge box 1 has a centrifugation chamber 2 inside, with an opening at the top. The top plate 3 is detachably mounted on the top of the centrifuge box 1. The placement frame 4 is located inside the centrifugation chamber 2, and a vertical drive shaft 9 is fixedly mounted at its bottom. The drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the centrifugation chamber 2. The motor 10 is fixed at the bottom of the centrifuge box 1, and one end of the drive shaft 9 is connected to the output end of the motor 10. A horizontal plate 5 is horizontally mounted inside the placement frame 4, and several through holes for test tubes 6 to pass through are provided on the horizontal plate 5. The pressure plate 7 is located directly above the placement frame 4, and L-shaped connecting rods 8 are provided at both ends of the pressure plate 7. The other ends of the two connecting rods 8 extend vertically downward. Locking components are provided on both side walls of the placement frame 4, and the locking components are used to lock the two connecting rods 8.

[0018] By setting a horizontal plate 5 inside the placement frame 4, the test tube 6 containing plasma is passed through the through hole on the horizontal plate 5. The test tube 6 is supported at the bottom of the placement frame 4. Then, the pressure plate 7 is pushed vertically downward to press the pressure plate 7 against the top of the test tube 6. Then, the two locking components on the side wall of the placement frame 4 lock the two connecting rods 8 respectively, thereby keeping the pressure plate 7 pressed against the top of the test tube 6 and preventing the test tube 6 from shaking during the rotation of the placement frame 4. This ensures safety when centrifuging plasma. In addition, this centrifuge is simple and convenient to operate when placing and clamping the test tube 6, which helps to improve the centrifugation efficiency of plasma.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, each of the locking components includes: a guide block 11 and a clamping screw 13. The guide block 11 is fixed to the side wall of the placement frame 4. A vertical channel 12 is provided on the guide block 11 and passes through it. One end of the connecting rod 8 passes vertically through the channel 12. The connecting rod 8 and the channel 12 are close to the side wall of the placement frame 4. The clamping screw 13 is horizontally arranged on the side wall of the guide block 11. The clamping screw 13 is threadedly connected to the guide block 11. One end of the clamping screw 13 is inserted into the channel 12 and is close to the side wall of the connecting rod 8.

[0020] After all the test tubes 6 are placed in the placement frame 4, push the pressure plate 7 to move vertically downwards. The connecting rods 8 at both ends of the pressure plate 7 also move vertically downwards. After the pressure plate 7 is firmly pressed against the top of the test tubes 6, rotate the clamping screw 13 to move it towards the side wall of the connecting rod 8, so that the end of the clamping screw 13 is in close contact with the side wall of the connecting rod 8, thereby preventing the connecting rod 8 from moving in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a clamping pad 14 made of rubber material can be set at the end of the screw that is in close contact with the side wall of the connecting rod 8 to increase the friction between the clamping screw 13 and the connecting rod 8. At the same time, a support pad made of rubber material can also be set on the inner wall of the placement frame 4 to support the test tubes 6.

[0021] Preferably, a plurality of ball bearings 15 are rolled at the bottom of the centrifuge chamber 2, and each ball bearing 15 is rolledly connected to the bottom of the placement frame 4. A cooling indoor unit 20 is installed inside the centrifuge chamber 2, and a cooling outdoor unit 21 is installed on the outer wall of the centrifuge box 1, thereby achieving a cooling effect inside the centrifuge chamber 2. The working principle of the cooling indoor unit 20 and the cooling outdoor unit 21 is similar to that of an air conditioner.

[0022] Furthermore, one end of the top plate 3 is hinged to the top of the centrifuge box 1, and the other end is provided with an elastic locking element. The top of the centrifuge box 1 is provided with a slot for inserting one end of the elastic locking element. The elastic locking element includes: a mounting block 16, a spring 18, and a pin 17. The mounting block 16 is fixed to the top of the top plate 3, and the bottom of the mounting block 16 is provided with a mounting groove. The spring 18 is disposed in the mounting groove, and one end of the pin 17 is slidably connected to the mounting groove. The top plate 3 is provided with a insertion hole. Under the elastic force of the spring 18, the pin 17 passes through the insertion hole and is inserted into the slot. The top of the pin 17 is provided with a pull rod 19, one end of which extends vertically out of the mounting block 16, and the pull rod 19 is slidably connected to the mounting block 16.

[0023] When it is necessary to open the opening at the top of the centrifuge chamber 2, pull the lever 19 to disengage the pin 17 from the slot at the top of the centrifuge chamber 1. Then, push the free end of the top plate 3 to rotate around the hinged end at the top of the centrifuge chamber 1, thereby opening the opening and facilitating the placement and removal of the test tube 6.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
