Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipette storage technology, specifically a laboratory pipette tip box placement device. Background Technology

[0002] In life science research and various laboratory work, pipettes and pipette tips are core tools for liquid handling. Pipettes are indispensable due to their wide application in various experimental operations such as liquid transfer, sample dilution, and reaction mixing. As a consumable accessory for pipettes, pipette tips directly undertake the crucial function of accurately aspirating and dispensing liquids, and their performance and convenience directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of experiments.

[0003] However, traditional pipette tip storage methods have many limitations and cause inconvenience to laboratory work. Traditional pipette tips are usually stored in individual packaging or large boxes, which take up a lot of space on laboratory benches and in storage spaces. This is especially true for high-throughput laboratories that need to process various sizes of pipette tips, making space management a major challenge.

[0004] Since pipette tips come into direct contact with reagents and samples during experiments, their cleanliness is crucial to the results. Traditional storage methods, such as simple stacking or open containers, easily expose pipette tips to the air, increasing the risk of dust, microorganisms, or other laboratory environmental contaminants adhering to them, which can affect the accuracy of the experiment or even lead to biased results.

[0005] Laboratories typically require pipette tips of different sizes and specifications. Without an effective sorting and storage system, researchers will spend extra time searching for and retrieving specific tips during experiments, reducing efficiency and potentially causing experimental delays or reagent waste due to incorrect selection.

[0006] These problems not only reduce the efficiency of experimental operations and increase the complexity of laboratory management, but may also adversely affect the reliability of experimental results. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention aims to overcome the problems of large space occupation, easy contamination, inconvenience in retrieval and classification of existing pipette tip box storage methods, and provides a laboratory pipette tip box placement device that is structurally stable, flexibly combinable, space-saving and convenient to retrieve and manage.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a laboratory pipette tip box placement device, including placement units that can be spliced ​​together, and splicing components are provided on both sides of the placement unit;

[0009] The splicing assembly includes a semi-circular guide block, which includes a first connecting cavity and a second connecting cavity arranged coaxially. A locking block is slidably and rotatably disposed within the guide block. The locking block includes a guide semi-circle that slides within the first connecting cavity and a locking semi-circle that slides within the second connecting cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide block is provided with a sliding groove for limiting the rotational travel of the locking block, and the sliding groove is provided with a locking notch.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide block is provided with an ejector spring, which has a tendency to cause the locking block to move away from the guide block along the axial direction of the guide block. This facilitates the partial ejection of the locking block during unlocking, making operation easier.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking block is provided with a toggle part, which allows the user to slide and rotate the locking block by toggling it, thereby completing the locking or unlocking operation.

[0013] Furthermore, the placement unit is provided with a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment. The first storage compartment is 12cm long and 13cm wide; the second storage compartment is 12cm long and 15cm wide. This design can accommodate gun head boxes of different sizes, improving the versatility of the device.

[0014] Furthermore, magnetic suction components are fixedly provided on both end faces of the placement unit. The magnetic suction components can provide an auxiliary or alternative connection method for connecting the placement units, and can also allow the placement unit to adhere to other metal surfaces, increasing the flexibility of placement.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Modular design, flexible splicing: By setting splicing components on both sides of the placement unit, multiple placement units can be vertically spliced ​​and combined according to the size of the laboratory space and the number of gun tip boxes, which improves space utilization and the flexibility of the device.

[0017] 2. Stable and reliable connection: The splicing components are connected through the locking block inside the guide block. The cooperation between the guide semicircle and the locking semicircle, as well as the design of the sliding groove and the locking notch, ensure the stability of the spliced ​​structure and prevent it from loosening.

[0028] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.

[0029] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a laboratory pipette tip holder placement device. The device mainly consists of one or more interlocking placement units 100. Each placement unit 100 has a splicing component 200 on its side where it needs to be spliced ​​with other units.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the splicing assembly 200 includes a semi-circular guide block 210. The guide block 210 can be fixed to the side wall of the placement unit 100 or integrally formed with the placement unit 100. A first connecting cavity 211 and a second connecting cavity 212 are coaxially disposed within the guide block 210. A locking block 220 is slidably and rotatably disposed within the guide block 210. The locking block 220 also has a shape adapted to the guide block 210, such as a partially cylindrical shape. The locking block 220 includes a guide semicircle 221 and a locking semicircle 222. The guide semicircle 221 can slide within the first connecting cavity 211 and serve as a guide, while the locking semicircle 222 can slide within the second connecting cavity 212. When two placement units 100 need to be spliced, the locking block 220 of one unit extends and inserts into the corresponding connecting cavity of the guide block 210 of the adjacent unit. By rotating the locking block 220, its locking semicircle 222 and the locking semicircle 222 of the adjacent unit enter each other into their respective second connecting cavities 212 and splice them into a complete circle, thereby realizing the locking connection of the two splicing components 200.

[0032] The guide block 210 has a sliding groove 213, which is used to limit the rotational travel of the locking block 220 within the guide block 210. The sliding groove 213 also has a locking notch 214.

[0033] An ejector spring 230 may also be provided on the guide block 210. The ejector spring 230 acts on the end face of the locking block 220, causing it to have a tendency to move away from the guide block 210 along the axial direction of the guide block 210.

[0034] The locking block 220 is provided with a toggle part 223. The toggle part 223 can be a finger-like protrusion, groove, or a wing-like structure that can be pinched by fingers, so that the user can apply force to realize the axial sliding and circumferential rotation of the locking block 220 to complete the splicing and separation operations between units. When the locking block 220 slides to the predetermined position and rotates a certain angle, the toggle part 223 can be engaged in the locking notch 214, thereby preventing the locking block 220 from accidentally rotating or sliding out, and achieving a more reliable locking.

[0035] Each placement unit 100 has a storage space for storing gun tip boxes. Specifically, it can have a first storage compartment 110 and a second storage compartment 120. The first storage compartment 110 is designed to be 12cm long and 13cm wide; the second storage compartment 120 is designed to be 12cm long and 15cm wide. This size design can accommodate gun tip boxes of different specifications commonly found on the market, such as standard-length gun tip boxes with varying widths, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the device. The depth of the compartments is set according to the standard height of the gun tip boxes.

[0036] Magnetic components 300, such as permanent magnets or ferromagnetic material sheets, can be fixedly installed on both end faces of the placement unit 100. These magnetic components 300 allow the two placement units 100 to be attracted and connected to each other without using the splicing assembly 200, providing a quick and easy temporary assembly method.

[0037] Working principle and usage:

[0038] When multiple placement units 100 need to be assembled, take one placement unit 100 and align the splicing component 200 on one side of it with the splicing component 200 on the corresponding side of another placement unit 100. By rotating the locking block 220, its locking semicircle 222 and the locking semicircle 222 of the adjacent unit enter each other into their respective second connecting cavities 212 and splice into a complete circle. When the locking block 220 slides to the predetermined position and rotates a certain angle, the actuating part 223 can be engaged in the locking notch 214, thereby preventing the locking block 220 from rotating or sliding out accidentally, thus completing the locking.

[0039] Multiple units can be assembled in this manner to form a storage device of the desired size and shape. Gun head boxes of different sizes can be placed in the first storage compartment 110 or the second storage compartment 120 respectively.

[0040] When it is necessary to change the combination or disassemble, first press the locking block 220 to make the actuating part 223 disengage from the locking notch 214. Then, reverse the operation of the actuating part 223 to rotate the locking block 220 away from the other splicing component 200, thereby separating the placement unit 100. If the placement units 100 are connected by magnetic suction 300, they can be separated by applying force directly.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
