Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for food microbial testing, and in particular to a homogenizing bag frame. Background Technology

[0002] A homogenizer, also called a beat homogenizer or homogenizer machine, simplifies the extraction of bacteria from solid samples. Simply add the sample and diluent to a sterile homogenization bag, then place the bag into the beat homogenizer to complete the sample processing. It effectively separates microorganisms contained within and on the surface of solid samples, ensuring complete mixing of the sample within the homogenization bag. The processed sample solution can be directly sampled and analyzed without the risk of sample alteration or cross-contamination. Homogenizers are primarily used for sample homogenization in the food industry, microbiology, biochemistry, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.

[0003] In existing technologies, homogenizing bags are typically placed within a homogenizing bag frame to secure them within the homogenizer and prevent tilting. However, after the initial tapping process, during the aspiration of the sample dilution, the homogenizing bag frame needs to be tilted for easier aspiration. Without the homogenizing bag secured to the frame, this hinders the aspiration of the sample dilution and increases the risk of spillage, thus affecting the experimental process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a homogenizing bag frame to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a homogenization bag frame that achieves a firm connection between the homogenization bag and the frame, making it easier to absorb the sample dilution solution after tapping and preventing the homogenization bag from sliding out above the frame due to the frame's tilt, thus avoiding spillage of the sample inside the bag.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] First connector;

[0008] The support frame has at least two supports, and two adjacent supports are spaced apart on the first connector along the first direction. The two adjacent supports form a support frame, and the homogenizing bag can be placed in the support frame.

[0009] The hook has one end fixedly connected to the support frame, and the other end protrudes from the support frame and can be inserted into the positioning hole. The first direction is the width direction of the support frame.

Along the second direction, the third support member, the second support member, and the fourth support member are all spaced apart, and the third support member is located between the second support member and the fourth support member. The second direction is the height direction of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, the support frame further includes a second support assembly, which includes a fifth support member and a sixth support member. The fifth and sixth support members are arranged parallel to the first support member. One end of the fifth support member is welded and fixed to the other end of the fourth support member, and one end of the sixth support member is welded and fixed to the other end of the second support member. Along the second direction, the fifth support member protrudes from the first support member.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, 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.

[0031] This embodiment provides a homogenization bag frame to achieve a firm connection between the homogenization bag and the frame, preventing the homogenization bag from slipping out due to the frame's tilt, thus avoiding spillage of the sample inside the bag, and facilitating the absorption of sample dilution solution.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a homogenizing bag frame is used to hold a homogenizing bag 1. The homogenizing bag 1 has positioning holes. The homogenizing bag frame includes a first connector 2, a support frame 3, and a hook 4. The number of support frames 3 is at least two, along a first direction ( Figure 1In the X direction, two adjacent support frames 3 are spaced apart on the first connecting member 2, forming a support frame. The homogenizing bag 1 can be placed inside the support frame. One end of the hook 4 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3, and the other end of the hook 4 protrudes from the support frame 3 and can be inserted into the positioning hole. The first direction is the width direction of the support frame. The first connecting member 2 and the two adjacent support frames 3 form a support frame. The operator aligns the positioning hole with the hook 4, places a homogenizing bag 1 into the corresponding support frame, and inserts the other end of the hook 4 into the positioning hole to hook the homogenizing bag 1, thus fixing the homogenizing bag 1. This makes it easier to draw the sample diluent from the homogenizing bag 1 when the entire homogenizing bag frame is tilted to draw the sample diluent, and avoids the sample diluent from spilling out of the homogenizing bag 1 due to the homogenizing bag 1 sliding out from above the support frame, thus preventing sample loss. Furthermore, the homogenization bag 1 is fixed by the hook 4, which also supports the homogenization bag 1. During the process of drawing the sample dilution solution, this prevents the sample volume in the homogenization bag 1 from decreasing due to sample removal, which could cause the homogenization bag 1 to collapse within its frame and its inner walls to stick together, thus affecting the absorption of the sample dilution solution. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 2 is a steel wire; in other embodiments, the first connecting member 2 can be an iron strip or an aluminum alloy plate, etc. In this embodiment, one end of the hook 4 is welded to the support frame 3; in other embodiments, one end of the hook 4 is glued to the support frame 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the number of support frames is at least two, the number of hooks 4 is equal to and corresponds one-to-one with the number of support frames, and the number of support racks 3 is one more than the number of support frames. By placing at least two homogenizing bags 1 in the homogenizing bag frame, samples in at least two homogenizing bags 1 can be processed simultaneously, improving work efficiency. In this embodiment, the number of hooks 4 and support frames is 10 each; in other embodiments, the number of hooks 4 and support frames is 2, 8, or 13, etc.

[0034] Optionally, the number of first connectors 2 is at least two, and the at least two first connectors 2 are spaced apart along a third direction at the bottom of the support frame 3 and fixedly connected to the support frame 3. In this embodiment, the number of first connectors 2 is four; in other embodiments, the number of first connectors 2 is two, three, or five, etc. In this embodiment, the first connectors 2 are welded to the bottom of the support frame 3; in other embodiments, the first connectors 2 are connected to the support frame 3 by bolts.

[0035] Furthermore, at least two first connectors 2 are evenly distributed at intervals at the bottom of the support frame 3, and at least two first connectors 2 support the bottom of the homogenizing bag 1, thereby improving the support effect on the bottom of the homogenizing bag 1 and preventing the sample dilution liquid inside the homogenizing bag 1 from falling from the bottom of the support frame due to uneven distribution.

[0036] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support frame 3 includes a first support assembly, which includes a first support member 311 and a second support member 312. One end of the first support member 311 is welded and fixed to one end of the second support member 312 to form a fixing part, and one end of the hook 4 is fixed to the fixing part. By fixing the hook 4 to the side of the support frame, it is possible to avoid the hook 4 scratching the homogenization bag 1 during the placement of the homogenization bag 1, which would cause leakage of the sample diluent. It also enables the hook 4 to tighten the homogenization bag 1 along the width direction after hooking the homogenization bag 1, further improving the support effect of the hook 4 on the homogenization bag 1. In other embodiments, one end of the hook 4 can be welded and fixed to the other end of the first support member 311.

[0037] Optionally, the support frame 3 further includes a third support member 33, and the first support assembly further includes a fourth support member 313. The fourth support member 313 is arranged parallel to the second support member 312, and one end of the fourth support member 313 is welded and fixed to the other end of the first support member 311 along the second direction ( Figure 1 In the Z direction (as shown in the image), the third support member 33, the second support member 312, and the fourth support member 313 are all spaced apart, with the third support member 33 located between the second support member 312 and the fourth support member 313. The second direction is the height direction of the support frame. By placing the third support member 33 in the middle position between the second support member 312 and the fourth support member 313, the third support member 33 supports the middle position of the homogenizing bag 1, preventing the homogenizing bag 1 from collapsing in the support frame. In this embodiment, the third support member 33 has an inverted "U" shape; in other embodiments, the third support member 33 has an inverted "V" shape or an "X" shape.

[0038] Optionally, the homogenizing bag 1 includes a long bag 11 and a short bag 12, which are connected to form an "L" shape. The support frame 3 also includes a second support assembly, which includes a fifth support member 321, a sixth support member 322, and an eighth support member 35. The fifth support member 321 and the sixth support member 322 are both arranged parallel to the first support member 311. One end of the fifth support member 321 is welded and fixed to the other end of the fourth support member 313, and one end of the sixth support member 322 is welded and fixed to the other end of the second support member 312. The sixth support member 322, the eighth support member 35, and the fifth support member 321 are sequentially fixed and connected end to end. Along the second direction, the fifth support member 321 protrudes from the first support member 311. The support frame 3 is set to an "L" shape, with the long bag 11 placed in the position of the second support assembly and the short bag 12 placed in the position of the first support assembly. This allows the homogenizing bag 1 to be properly placed in the support frame, which facilitates the removal and placement of the sample diluent in the short bag 12 and also provides support for the long bag 11. In other embodiments, the other end of the sixth support 322 is directly welded to the other end of the fifth support 321.

[0039] Furthermore, the support frame 3 also includes a seventh support member 34. The sixth support member 322 and the fifth support member 321 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. One end of the seventh support member 34 is welded and fixed to the fifth support member 321, and the other end of the seventh support member 34 is welded and fixed to the sixth support member 322, thereby improving the stability of the long side of the L-shaped support frame. In this embodiment, the seventh support member 34 is a straight-line structure arranged parallel to the eighth support member 35. In other embodiments, the seventh support member 34 can be an X-shaped structure.

[0040] Optionally, the homogenizing bag frame also includes a second connector 5 and a third connector 6, along the third direction ( Figure 1 In the Y direction, the second connector 5 and the third connector 6 are distributed on opposite sides of the support frame 3. The second connector 5 is welded and fixed to the first support 311, and the third connector 6 is welded and fixed to the fifth support 321. The third direction is the length direction of the support frame. The second connector 5 and the third connector 6 fix the width direction of the support frame, preventing the homogenizing bag 1 from slipping off the side of the support frame and improving the stability of the support frame.

[0041] Furthermore, the number of second connecting members 5 is at least two, and the at least two second connecting members 5 are evenly distributed along the second direction and welded and fixed to the first support member 311. The number of third connecting members 6 is at least two, and the at least two third connecting members 6 are evenly distributed along the second direction and welded and fixed to the fifth support member 321. This further prevents the sample diluent from slipping off the side of the support frame due to insufficient sample diluent in the homogenizing bag 1, causing the sample diluent to spill out. In this embodiment, the number of second connecting members 5 is 2. In other embodiments, the number of second connecting members 5 is 3, 4, or 5, etc. In this embodiment, the number of third connecting members 6 is 4. In other embodiments, the number of third connecting members 6 is 2, 5, or 7, etc. In this embodiment, the second connecting member 5 is a steel wire. In other embodiments, the second connecting member 5 can be an iron strip or an aluminum alloy plate, etc. In this embodiment, the third connecting member 6 is a steel wire. In other embodiments, the third connecting member 6 can be an iron strip or an aluminum alloy plate, etc.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the homogenizing bag frame also includes a gripping component 7, which is connected to the support frame 3. Along a third direction, the height of the gripping component 7 is higher than the height of the support frame 3, enabling convenient gripping of the homogenizing bag frame. Workers can remove the entire homogenizing bag frame from the homogenizer by gripping the gripping component 7. In this embodiment, the gripping component 7 is welded to the bottom of the support frame 3. In other embodiments, the gripping component 7 may be welded to the top of the support frame 3, or welded to the middle of the support frame 3. In this embodiment, the gripping component 7 has an inverted "U" shape; in other embodiments, the gripping component 7 has an inverted "J" shape.

[0043] Furthermore, there are two gripping components 7, each connected to one of the two outermost support frames 3 along the first direction. This allows the worker to grip the bag with both hands, making it easier to lift the entire homogenizing bag frame. The two gripping components 7 are welded and fixed to the two outermost support frames 3, ensuring the homogenizing bag 1 is not affected in its placement within the support frame. Moreover, the symmetrical distribution of the gripping components 7 throughout the homogenizing bag frame prevents the support frame from tilting due to uneven force when the worker lifts the gripping components 7, thus avoiding the risk of the homogenizing bag 1 slipping. In other embodiments, the gripping components 7 may be welded and fixed to a support frame 3 located at the middle position of the multiple support frames 3 along the first direction.
