[0002] Refrigerated centrifuges, also known as refrigerated centrifuges, are high-performance separation devices. They combine centrifugation technology with a temperature control system, enabling high-speed centrifugation of samples at a set low temperature. This device generates powerful centrifugal force through high-speed rotation, effectively separating components of different densities within a sample. Simultaneously, the low temperature environment helps protect the stability and activity of heat-sensitive samples, preventing denaturation or inactivation due to high temperatures. Refrigerated centrifuges are widely used in life sciences, molecular biology, medical research, pharmaceuticals, and chemistry. Refrigerated centrifugation requires test tubes containing the samples, which are then fixed within the centrifuge unit for the rotational centrifugation operation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, a refrigerated centrifuge includes a housing 1, a refrigeration chamber 2, a rotating centrifuge disc 3 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the refrigeration chamber 2, one end of the rotating centrifuge disc 3 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of a built-in motor in the housing 1, a vertical mounting block 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating centrifuge disc 3, a vertical limiting groove provided on the vertical mounting block 4, a lifting positioning connection assembly 5 installed in the vertical limiting groove, an extension strip 6 fixedly mounted on one end of the lifting positioning connection assembly 5, a counterweight head 7 and a transverse mounting strip 8 mounted on the extension strip 6, the counterweight head 7 being linearly and evenly distributed, and fixed to the extension strip 6 by a connecting screw 9, the transverse mounting strip 8 having a transverse mounting groove. A clamping and fixing assembly 10 is installed in the mounting slot. The clamping and fixing assembly 10 is used to clamp and fix the test tube. In use, the test tube is placed in the clamping and fixing assembly 10 and the clamping and fixing assembly 10 is used to stabilize the test tube. By operating the built-in motor of the device housing 1, the rotating centrifuge disk 3 is driven to rotate in the freezing chamber 2. The lifting positioning connection assembly 5 and the counterweight head 7 rotate accordingly. The even distribution of the counterweight head 7 ensures smooth rotation. The lifting positioning connection assembly 5 can adjust the height of the clamping and fixing assembly 10 to accommodate test tubes of different heights. During the rotation, the sample in the test tube is separated under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the freezing chamber 2 maintains a low temperature environment, which helps the sample to freeze and separate.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting positioning connection assembly 5 includes a limiting slider 501, which is slidably engaged in a vertical limiting groove. An extension connecting plate 502 is fixedly installed on the limiting slider 501, and an extension block 6 is fixedly installed on the extension connecting plate 502. A positioning pin 503 is slidably installed on the extension connecting plate 502. One end of the positioning pin 503 is inserted into a positioning pin hole that is linearly and evenly opened on the vertical mounting block 4. A lifting handle 504 is fixedly installed on the other end of the positioning pin 503. An annular connecting block 505 is fixedly sleeved on the positioning pin 503. The annular connecting block 505 is elastically connected to the extension connecting plate 502 through a positioning spring 506. In use, the positioning pin 503 is pulled out of the current positioning pin hole by pulling the lifting handle 504, thereby releasing the fixation of the limiting slider 501. Then, slide the limiting slider 501 in the vertical limiting groove to drive the extended connecting plate 502 and the extension strip 6 to move up and down to the required height. After reaching the appropriate position, release the lifting handle 504. The positioning spring 506 pushes the annular connecting block 505 and the positioning pin 503 into the corresponding positioning pin hole to achieve fixation. The height of the counterweight head 7 and the clamping and fixing component 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to the experimental requirements to achieve stable positioning of the test tube and ensure the stability and accuracy of the centrifugation process.

[0024] like Figure 5As shown, the clamping and fixing assembly 10 includes a micro motor 1001 and a bidirectional threaded rod 1002. The micro motor 1001 is fixed on the inner wall of one end of the transverse mounting groove. The bidirectional threaded rod 1002 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the other end of the transverse mounting groove via a rotary joint 1003. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 1002 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro motor 1001. A threaded slider 1004 is mounted on the bidirectional threaded rod 1002. The threaded slider 1004 is slidably engaged in the transverse mounting groove. There are two threaded sliders 1004, and the two threaded sliders 1004 are respectively positioned... At the reverse threaded ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 1002, a first clamping seat 1005 and a second clamping seat 1006 are respectively fixedly installed on the two threaded sliders 1004. The first clamping seat 1005 and the second clamping seat 1006 are symmetrically distributed. Soft friction pads 1007 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the first clamping seat 1005 and the second clamping seat 1006. When in use, the micro motor 1001 is started to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 1002 to rotate. Since the threaded directions at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 1002 are opposite, the two threaded sliders 1004 will move to the middle or both sides at the same time. Adjust the position of the threaded slider 1004 according to the size of the test tube until the first clamping seat 1005 and the second clamping seat 1006 clamp the test tube tightly. The soft friction pad 1007 provides sufficient friction to ensure that the test tube will not slip during centrifugation. After centrifugation is completed, start the micro motor 1001 in reverse and release the clamping seat to easily remove the test tube. The whole process is simple to operate, the clamping is stable, and it is suitable for test tubes of different sizes.
