Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inoculation loop sterilization, specifically to an inoculation loop sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as microbiology, medicine, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, inoculating loops are commonly used laboratory tools, and their sterility is crucial for the accuracy of experimental results and the safety of products. Inoculating loops require thorough sterilization after each use to prevent cross-contamination and experimental errors. Traditional sterilization methods, such as burning with an alcohol lamp, while achieving sterilization to some extent, suffer from inconvenience, incomplete sterilization, and the safety hazard of open flame.

[0003] With advancements in technology and increasingly demanding experimental requirements, traditional sterilization methods are no longer sufficient for modern laboratories. Especially in environments requiring highly sterile conditions, such as biosafety cabinets and clean benches, traditional alcohol lamp sterilization methods, due to their open flame and complex operation, are gradually being replaced by more advanced, safe, and efficient sterilization technologies. Infrared inoculation loop sterilizers, as a novel sterilization device, operate based on the principle of electronic infrared radiation, achieving sterilization through high-temperature burning. This sterilizer boasts advantages such as excellent sterilization effect, rapid sterilization, and environmental friendliness, while being easy to operate without complex equipment adjustments or operational skills. Infrared inoculation loop sterilizers have been widely used in laboratories, hospitals, the food industry, and the pharmaceutical industry, becoming an important tool for ensuring the sterility of inoculation loops.

[0004] In the current inoculation process, one person typically works in a biosafety cabinet. To improve efficiency, multiple inoculation loops are used; one is sterilized while the others can be operated. However, the inoculation loops cannot be positioned and fixed in place. The loop's stem rests on the edge of the inoculation loop sterilization device, and the device's circular edge design means that only one inoculation loop can be sterilized at a time, resulting in low efficiency and unreliable sterilization effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inoculation loop sterilization device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inoculation loop being unable to be positioned and fixed, resulting in only one inoculation loop being able to be sterilized at a time, low efficiency, and the sterilization effect of the inoculation loop being unreliable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inoculation loop sterilization device, comprising an infrared inoculation loop sterilizer body, wherein a support frame is provided at the front end of the upper end of the infrared inoculation loop sterilizer body, the support frame comprising a first sterilization component, a second sterilization component, and a third sterilization component, the first sterilization component, the second sterilization component, and the third sterilization component being arranged sequentially, each of the first sterilization component, the second sterilization component, and the third sterilization component comprising a fixing ring and an inclined arc-shaped support plate, the inclined arc-shaped support plate being fixed within the fixing ring and being inclined, the upper ends of the first sterilization component, the second sterilization component, and the third sterilization component being used to place the inoculation loop body, the ring of the inoculation loop body being located within the infrared inoculation loop sterilizer body.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end face of the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body has lower entry slots on both sides, and the inner side of the lower entry slot of the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body has an embedding slot.

[0008] Preferably, adjacent fixing rings are connected by an inner connecting rod, and an outer connecting rod is integrally connected to the outer side of the outermost fixing ring. The other end of the outer connecting rod is integrally connected to a fixing rod, which is vertically arranged. An intermediate connecting rod is fixed between two fixing rods. A lower embedding rod is integrally connected to the lower end of the outer side of the fixing rod. The length of the lower embedding rod entering the slot is equal to the length of the lower embedding rod, and the lower embedding rod matches the embedding slot.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the inclined arc-shaped support plate has rectangular slots at the front and rear ends, and a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole are respectively embedded and connected in the two rectangular slots on the inclined arc-shaped support plate. The arrangement and combination of the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole on the first sterilization piece, the second sterilization piece and the third sterilization piece are different.

[0010] Preferably, a first adsorption ring and a second adsorption ring are respectively provided at both ends of the outer side of the inoculation ring body along the upper ends of the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole, and the first adsorption ring and the second adsorption ring are magnetically connected to the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the inclined arc-shaped support plate is provided with a color marking area, and a color marking ring is provided on the outside of the inoculation ring body along the upper end of the color marking area, the color marking ring corresponding to the color marking area.

[0012] Preferably, an inwardly tapered neck is formed between adjacent fixing rings and inner connecting rods or adjacent outer connecting rods and inner connecting rods, and the distance between the inwardly tapered necks is less than the diameter of the inoculation ring body placement position.

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

[0014] (1) In this utility model, a support frame is provided at the front end of the upper end of the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body. The support frame includes a first sterilization component, a second sterilization component and a third sterilization component. The first sterilization component, the second sterilization component and the third sterilization component are arranged in sequence. The first sterilization component, the second sterilization component and the third sterilization component all include an inclined arc-shaped support plate, so that the inoculation ring body can be placed on the inclined arc-shaped support plate of the corresponding first sterilization component, the second sterilization component or the third sterilization component during sterilization. It can sterilize three inoculation ring bodies at one time, which solves the problem that the existing inoculation ring cannot be positioned and fixed, so that only one inoculation ring can be sterilized at one time, resulting in low efficiency and the sterilization effect of the inoculation ring cannot be guaranteed.

[0015] (2) In this utility model, by setting the color correspondence between the color identification ring and the color identification area, and the different arrangement and combination of magnetic poles on different sterilization parts, the accuracy of the placement of the inoculation ring can be ensured, and the problem of mistaking and operating in the case of incomplete sterilization due to incorrect placement can be avoided, which greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of sterilization.

[0016] (3) In this utility model, the color-coded ring corresponds to the conspicuous color of the color-coded area, making it easy for the operator to identify the inoculation ring at a glance, effectively avoiding incorrect handling and improving experimental efficiency. At the same time, the repulsive effect of the magnetic poles gives the operator a clear sense when the inoculation ring is placed incorrectly, further enhancing the error-proof effect.

[0017] (4) In this utility model, the design of the lower entry slot and the embedding slot facilitates the installation and disassembly of the device and makes maintenance easier. The inward neck setting further restricts the placement position of the inoculation ring, ensuring the accuracy of the inoculation ring placement, and also facilitates the operator's handling and placement.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0028] The device includes an infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body 1. Lower entry slots 2 are provided on both sides of the front end of the upper surface of the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body 1. An embedding groove is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the lower entry slot 2 along the inner edge of the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body 1. This design facilitates the installation and disassembly of the device.

[0029] A support frame 3 is provided at the front end of the upper part of the infrared inoculation loop sterilizer body 1. The support frame 3 is composed of a first sterilization component 4, a second sterilization component 5, and a third sterilization component 6 in sequence. Each sterilization component includes a fixing ring 7 and an inclined arc-shaped support plate 8. The inclined arc-shaped support plate 8 is firmly fixed in the fixing ring 7 and is inclined. Its inclination angle is carefully designed to ensure the stability of the inoculation loop placement.

[0030] The upper ends of the first sterilization unit 4, the second sterilization unit 5, and the third sterilization unit 6 can all be used to place the inoculation ring body 18. The ring body of the inoculation ring body 18 is located inside the infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body 1. This design allows the inoculation ring to be fully subjected to infrared sterilization treatment.

[0031] Adjacent fixing rings 7 are connected by an inner connecting rod 13. This connection method not only enhances the stability of the structure but also makes the entire support frame 3 more compact. An outer connecting rod 14 is integrally connected to the outer side of the outermost fixing ring 7. The other end of the outer connecting rod 14 is integrally connected to a fixed upright 15. The fixed upright 15 is vertically positioned, providing solid support for the entire support frame 3. An intermediate connecting rod 16 is fixed between the two fixed uprights 15, further enhancing the stability of the structure. A lower insert rod 17 is integrally connected to the lower end of the outer side of the fixed upright 15. The length of the lower insertion slot 2 is exactly equal to the length of the lower insert rod 17. The lower insert rod 17 perfectly matches the insertion slot, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the device installation. During installation, pressing the fixed upright 15 inward causes the lower end of the fixed upright 15 to deform, bringing the two lower insert rods 17 closer together. They are then inserted from the lower insertion slot 2. When they reach the bottom position, the rods are released, and under the elastic restoring action of the support frame 3 itself, the lower insert rods 17 are locked into the insertion slot.

[0032] An inwardly narrowed neck 22 is formed between adjacent fixing rings 7 and inner connecting rods 13 or between adjacent outer connecting rods 14 and inner connecting rods 13. The distance between the inwardly narrowed necks 22 is less than the diameter of the inoculation ring body 18. This slightly smaller design further restricts the placement of the inoculation ring and ensures the accuracy and stability of the inoculation ring placement.

[0033] The upper surface of the inclined arc-shaped support plate 8 has rectangular slots 9 at its front and rear ends, and a first magnetic pole 10 and a second magnetic pole 11 are respectively embedded and connected in the rectangular slots 9. It is worth noting that the arrangement of the first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 on the first sterilization piece 4, the second sterilization piece 5, and the third sterilization piece 6 is different. This unique design gives each sterilization piece a unique magnetic characteristic. When the inoculation loop is placed incorrectly, the operator can immediately perceive the error in placement due to magnetic repulsion, thereby avoiding incomplete sterilization caused by incorrect placement.

[0034] A first adsorption ring 19 and a second adsorption ring 20 are respectively provided at both ends of the outer side of the inoculation loop body 18 along the upper ends of the first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11. The first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20 are magnetically connected to the first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11. This magnetic connection method not only ensures the stability of the inoculation loop during the sterilization process, but also makes the placement and removal of the inoculation loop distinct.

[0035] The first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 are both positive poles, and the first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20 on the corresponding inoculation ring body 18 are both negative poles.

[0036] The first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 are positive and negative poles, respectively, and the first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20 on the inoculation ring body 18 are negative and positive poles, respectively.

[0037] The first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 are negative and positive poles, respectively, corresponding to the first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20 on the inoculation ring body 18 being positive and negative poles;

[0038] The first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 are both negative poles, while the first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20 on the corresponding inoculation ring body 18 are both positive poles.

[0039] Normally, three combinations are sufficient. When the sterilization components are set to four or more groups (the number is matched to the size of the Genju infrared inoculation ring sterilizer body 1), in order to ensure the magnetic attraction relationship, a magnetic pole can be added in the middle position, and a corresponding adsorption ring can be added to increase the number of magnetic attraction combinations.

[0040] A color-coded area 12 is provided at one end of the inclined arc-shaped support plate 8, and a color-coded ring 21 is provided on the outer side of the inoculation ring body 18 along the upper end of the color-coded area 12. The color of the color-coded ring 21 corresponds to the color of the color-coded area 12. This color correspondence allows the operator to clearly identify when picking up or placing the inoculation ring, effectively avoiding incorrect picking or placement.

[0041] Working principle: According to the color correspondence between the color identification ring 21 and the color identification area 12, the inoculation ring body 18 is placed on the inclined arc-shaped support plate 8 corresponding to the first sterilization component 4, the second sterilization component 5, or the third sterilization component 6. At this time, the first magnetic pole 10 and the second magnetic pole 11 are magnetically connected to the first adsorption ring 19 and the second adsorption ring 20, and the three inoculation ring bodies 18 are sterilized at the same time.

[0042] During inoculation, the inoculation loop body 18 is picked up sequentially. After each inoculation, the inoculation loop body 18 is placed back for sterilization. The color-coded ring 21 corresponds to the color-coded area 12, preventing incorrect placement. Even without noticing the color correspondence, the different arrangements of the first magnetic poles 10 and second magnetic poles 11 on the first sterilization unit 4, second sterilization unit 5, and third sterilization unit 6 mean that if the inoculation loop body 18 is placed in the wrong position, the operator will perceive the error due to magnetic repulsion. Furthermore, because the color-coded ring 21 corresponds to the color-coded area 12, it is more easily visible during handling, providing a foolproof method and preventing incorrect placement.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
