Description

A centrifuge door opening and closing mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifuge technology, specifically to an opening and closing mechanism for a centrifuge door cover. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional centrifuges, the opening and closing of the large flap is typically powered by a spring cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. Spring cylinders are used in smaller centrifuges where the overall weight of the large flap is not particularly heavy. For centrifuges with a heavier large flap, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder is generally used.

[0003] The prior art patent document CN212397029U provides a safe centrifuge, including a centrifuge shell with a through hole on its upper surface; a centrifuge inner shell, disposed inside the centrifuge shell, which is a hollow structure with an opening at the top and contains a centrifuge chamber enclosed by the inner shell; a centrifuge door, hinged to the centrifuge shell, for covering the upper opening of the centrifuge chamber; a vacuum device, connected to the centrifuge chamber via a connecting pipe; and an aerosol filter, disposed on the connecting pipe. This centrifuge has a simple structure. After normal operation, the centrifuge chamber can be evacuated using the vacuum device. During the extraction process, the air is filtered and purified by the aerosol filter before flowing into the vacuum device and being discharged. This removes harmful aerosols from the centrifuge chamber while maintaining a negative pressure state to prevent residual aerosols from leaking into the environment, thus avoiding contamination of the laboratory environment and protecting operators from bacteria and viruses.

[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: If the cylinder malfunctions during use, the cover plate will be difficult to stably cover the surface of the machine body, and the sealing of the device will be difficult to maintain. Secondly, the locking tongue and locking hook close quickly, and the cover plate may close before the centrifuged sample is taken out, which may affect the use. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model provides an overall structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of an opening and closing mechanism for a centrifuge door, including:

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0036] A centrifuge door opening and closing mechanism includes a body 1. A cover plate 2 is connected to one side of the body 1 via a bearing. A fixing assembly 6 is disposed inside the body 1. The fixing assembly 6 includes a fixing plate 4. The outer circumferential wall of the fixing plate 4 is bolted to the body 1. A placement groove 66 is bolted to the top of the fixing plate 4. A slot 67 is formed on the inner wall of the placement groove 66. A hole groove 68 is formed on the inner wall of the slot 67. A spring 610 is welded to the inner wall of the hole groove 68. A cylinder 69 is welded to one side of the spring 610. A retaining plate 63 is snapped onto the inner wall of the placement groove 66. A retaining block 62 is bolted to the outer circumference of the retaining plate 63. A rotating pin 64 is bolted to the top of the retaining plate 63. A handle 65 is fixed to the top of the rotating pin 64. A reset component 7 is provided on one side of the fixing component 6. The handle 65 drives the rotating pin 64 to rotate, so that the retaining block 62 can be slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 67 and is locked by the force of the spring 610 and the cylinder 69, thereby reducing the occurrence of the cover plate 2 popping open.

[0037] It is worth noting that, in order to assist the fixing pin in fixing the cover plate 2, a circular groove 61 is provided on the surface of the cover plate 2. The inner circumference of the circular groove 61 matches the outer circumference of the rotating pin 64. Through the structural design of the circular groove 61, the fixing pin can rotate well on its inner wall, thereby facilitating the fixing pin in fixing the cover plate 2.

[0038] Next, in order to securely fix mounting plate 71 and mounting plate 78 to the cover plate 2 and the outer wall of the body 1 respectively, the reset assembly 7 specifically includes mounting plate 71. Mounting plate 71 is bolted to the bottom of the cover plate 2, and mounting plate 78 is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the body 1. Mounting blocks 72 are bolted to the bottom of both mounting plate 71 and mounting plate 78. This threaded connection design of the mounting plates to the mounting blocks facilitates the secure fixing of mounting plate 71 and mounting plate 78 to the cover plate 2 and the outer wall of the body 1 respectively.

[0039] Meanwhile, in order to better reduce the occurrence of the cover plate 2 popping open, there are multiple fixing components 6, which are arranged in a ring shape. Through multiple ring-shaped reset components 7, the cover plate 2 can be fixed in multiple directions, thereby better reducing the occurrence of the cover plate 2 popping open.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to maintain a good sealing effect for the device, specifically, the inner wall of the cover plate 2 is connected with a rubber ring 3 by bolts, and the inside of the machine body 1 is provided with a centrifuge cavity 5. The inner circumference of the rubber ring 3 and the outer circumference of the centrifuge cavity 5 match. Through the structural design of the rubber ring 3, it is easy to maintain a good sealing effect for the device on the basis of the fixed component 6.

[0041] It is worth noting that, in order to better adjust the angles of the first vertical block 75 and the second vertical block 710 inside the mounting groove 73, the inner wall of the mounting block 72 is provided with a mounting groove 73. The inner wall of the mounting groove 73 is connected to the first vertical block 75 and the second vertical block 710 by pins and bolts 74. The structural design of connecting the first vertical block 75 and the second vertical block 710 by pins and bolts 74 facilitates better coordination with the opening of the cover plate 2 to change the specific angles of the first vertical block 75 and the second vertical block 710 inside the mounting groove 73.

[0042] Finally, to better maintain the stability of the cover plate 2 during the opening and closing process, specifically, the bottom of vertical block 1 75 and vertical block 2 710 are respectively connected to circular plate 1 76 and circular plate 2 79 by bolts. One side of circular plate 1 76 and circular plate 2 79 are each connected to a gas spring rod 77 by bolts. During the closing process of the cover plate 2, the gas spring rod applies an upward elastic force to the cover plate 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the cover plate 2 suddenly closing quickly during the opening and closing process. Moreover, the supporting force of the gas spring rod 77 is relatively uniform throughout the entire extension and retraction process of the cover, which facilitates better maintenance of the stability of the cover plate 2 during the opening and closing process to a certain extent.

[0043] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1-5, the specific usage process of the centrifuge door opening and closing mechanism of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] 1: When using this type of centrifuge with a door cover opening and closing mechanism, the operator moves the machine body 1 to a suitable position, opens the cover 2, puts the liquid to be centrifuged into the centrifuge inner cavity 5, and then connects the power supply to start using it.

[0046] 2: When the device needs to maintain a good and stable sealing effect, the device is equipped with a fixing component 6. The handle 65 drives the rotating pin 64, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 61, to rotate, so that the clamping plate 63 can be pressed down into the placement groove 66. This allows the clamping plate 63 to drive the clamping block 62 on its outer circumference to move in the inner wall of the clamping groove 67, and be clamped by the force of the spring 610 and the cylinder 69 provided in the hole groove 68. This reduces the occurrence of the cover plate 2 popping open. With the structural design of the rubber ring 3, this is conducive to better maintaining the sealing effect inside the centrifuge to a certain extent.

[0047] 3: When the device needs to maintain stability during the closing process of the cover plate 2, the device is equipped with a reset component 7. During the closing process of the cover plate 2, the vertical blocks 75 and 710 connected by pin bolts 74 through the inner wall of the mounting groove 73 inside the mounting block 72 allow the circular plates 76 and 79 to drive the gas spring rod 77 to easily change the angle. At this time, the gas spring rod 77 always applies an upward elastic force to the cover plate 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the cover plate 2 suddenly closing quickly during the opening and closing process, thus making it easier to maintain the stability of the cover plate 2 during the opening and closing process to a certain extent.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
