For example, they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a rotating mechanism for a centrifuge, which includes a rotating frame 100 and an air pump 200.

[0024] The rotating frame 100 comprises a connecting rod body 110 and eight rotating arms 120. The eight rotating arms 120 are evenly arranged around the axis of the rod body 110. Each rotating arm 120 has an inclined mounting hole 121 for inserting test tubes. The rod body 110 has a first channel 111, and the rotating arms 120 have a second channel 122 connecting the first channel 111 and the mounting hole 121. A vacuum pump 200 is located on the rod body 110 and can suction the test tube inserted into the mounting hole 121 through the first channel 111 and the second channel 122. The rod body 110 and the rotating arms 120 are integrally formed.

[0025] It is understandable that the axis of the rod body 110 is set in the vertical direction; the mounting hole 121 is set at an angle, that is, the mounting hole 121 is set at an angle in the vertical direction.

[0026] With the above structure, the vacuum pump 200 can adsorb the test tube inserted into the mounting hole 121 through the first channel 111 and the second channel 122, so as to reduce the probability of the test tube sliding along the axial direction of the mounting hole 121 during centrifugal rotation, thereby ensuring the separation of substances in the test tube.

[0027] In some embodiments, the number of rotating arms 120 may be set to six, nine, etc.

[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 2 The mounting hole 121 is provided with a receiving cylinder 300 for inserting test tubes. The cylinder wall of the receiving cylinder 300 has a clearance hole 310 communicating with the second channel 122. The receiving cylinder 300 is made of an elastic material. The vacuum pump 200 can adsorb the test tubes inserted into the receiving cylinder 300 through the first channel 111, the second channel 122, and the clearance hole 310. The receiving cylinder 300 is made of silicone or similar material.

[0029] It is understandable that when the test tube is inserted into the abutment cylinder 300, the test tube is inserted into the mounting hole 121.

[0030] With the above structure, the abutment cylinder 300 is made of elastic material, and the test tube inserted into the abutment cylinder 300 will be tightly covered by the abutment cylinder 300. Therefore, the probability of the test tube sliding along the axial direction of the mounting hole 121 during centrifugal rotation can be further reduced, so as to ensure that the substances in the test tube are fully separated.

[0031] The air pump 200 is installed on the rod body 110. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 The top of the rod body 110 is provided with a mounting groove 112, and the bottom of the mounting groove 112 is provided with a connecting cylinder 112A. The cavity of the connecting cylinder 112A is connected to the first channel 111. The air pump 200 is provided in the mounting groove 112, and the air pump pipe 210 is sleeved on the connecting cylinder 112A. The groove wall of the mounting groove 112 is provided with two first protrusions 112B, and the first protrusions 112B are provided with first holes (not shown in the figure). The air pump 200 is provided with two second protrusions 220, and the second protrusions 220 are provided with second holes (not shown in the figure). The two second protrusions 220 abut against the two first protrusions 112B in a corresponding manner. The two first holes and the two second holes are threadedly connected to fasteners (not shown in the figure).

[0032] With the above structure, the air pump 200 can be detachably mounted on the rod body 110, so as to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the air pump 200 in the future.

[0033] In some embodiments, the number of the first bump 112B and the second bump 220 is set to three, four, etc.

[0034] To ensure a one-to-one correspondence between the two first holes and the two second holes, facilitating the threaded installation of fasteners, refer to... Figure 2 The air pump 200 is provided with two positioning blocks 230, and the bottom of the mounting groove 112 is provided with two positioning grooves 112C. The two positioning blocks 230 are inserted into the two positioning grooves 112C in a one-to-one correspondence so that the two first holes and the two second holes correspond one-to-one.

[0035] In some embodiments, the number of positioning blocks 230 and positioning grooves 112C is set to one, the cross-section of positioning grooves 112C is non-circular, and positioning blocks 230 cooperate with positioning grooves 112C.

[0036] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
