Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a tube capping device for an eight-tube tube. Background Technology

[0002] In molecular biology experiments, PCR is a commonly used technique. PCR eight-tube strips are a common experimental consumable used for simultaneous PCR reactions of multiple samples. During the experiment, the caps of the eight-tube strips need to be accurately placed on the tubes to prevent sample contamination and evaporation. Currently, the traditional method of manually capping PCR eight-tube strips is inefficient. Operators must individually align the caps with the tube openings and press them on. This operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to operator fatigue during prolonged operation, leading to uneven capping pressure, potentially resulting in loose or misaligned caps, which can cause sample evaporation or contamination during amplification. This increases the probability of sample duplication and prolongs the time it takes for clinical patients to receive their reports. Furthermore, when processing large numbers of samples, the manual capping method cannot meet the demands of rapid and efficient experiments, reducing overall experimental efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an eight-pipe capping device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an eight-pipe capping device to achieve convenient capping.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: including an eight-tube placement plate, a positioning base, and a pressing mechanism located above the eight-tube placement plate;

[0006] The eight-tube placement plate is provided with placement holes for tightly fixing the PCR eight-tubes;

[0007] The positioning base is provided with a track groove that matches the shape of the eight-tube placement plate;

[0008] The pressing mechanism includes a pressing wheel and a pressing rod. The pressing wheel is horizontally positioned above the eight-tube placement plate. The pressing rods are fixed to both sides of the pressing wheel. The pressing rods are placed in the slots of the fixing plates on both sides of the positioning base and are used to push the pressing wheel back and forth to achieve the pressing of the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the placement hole is circular or approximately circular.

[0010] Furthermore, the placement holes are arranged in 12 columns, eight rows (A and H), for a total of 96 holes.

[0011] Furthermore, two positioning plates are provided in front of the positioning base to ensure that its position is fixed and will not shake or shift during the process of covering the tube.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided between the positioning base and the eight-tube placement plate, which allows the eight-tube placement plate to be pulled out or pushed in without falling off.

[0013] Furthermore, an elastic component is provided below the pressure rod, and a clearance range is formed between the elastic component and the lower eight-tube placement plate to facilitate the pulling out of the eight-tube placement plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The pressure mechanism squeezes the cap to complete the sealing of the eight-tube tube. This ensures a uniform and rapid sealing of the eight-tube tube and its cap, preventing gaps caused by improper sealing or excessive force that could lead to deformation or breakage of the tube. This prevents liquid evaporation or contamination during amplification, increases the sample testing cycle, prolongs the time for patients to receive reports, and causes inconvenience to staff.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides a pipe cap fitting device for an eight-pipe assembly, including an eight-pipe placement plate 1, a positioning base 2, and a pressing mechanism 3 located above the eight-pipe placement plate 1.

[0027] The 8-tube placement plate 1 is used to hold PCR 8-tube sets. It has 12 columns (A and H, eight rows in total) and 96 evenly distributed circular or near-circular placement wells 11 to securely hold the PCR 8-tube sets in place, ensuring stability during experiments and preventing them from shaking or tipping over. The size of the placement wells 11 matches the size of the PCR 8-tube sets, ensuring smooth insertion and proper positioning.

[0028] The positioning base 2 has a track groove 21 that matches the shape of the eight-tube placement plate 1. Two positioning plates 22 are located at the front of the positioning base 2 to ensure its fixed position and prevent shaking or displacement during the tube capping process. When the eight-tube placement plate 1 needs to be pulled out, the two positioning plates 22 are rotated so that they are positioned on one side, allowing the eight-tube placement plate 1 to be pulled out smoothly. When the eight-tube placement plate 1 is pushed into the positioning base 2, the two positioning plates 22 are rotated to fix the eight-tube placement plate 1 and prevent displacement during pressing. A limit strip 26 is provided on one side of the eight-tube placement plate 1, and a limit block 23 is provided between the positioning base 2 and the eight-tube placement plate 1. When the eight-tube placement plate 1 is pulled out, the limit block 23 blocks the limit strip 26, allowing the eight-tube placement plate to be pulled out or pushed in without falling off. This facilitates the quick and accurate transfer of the PCR eight-tube strips to the tube capping device after the experiment.

[0029] The pressing mechanism 3 includes a pressing roller 31 and a pressing rod 32. The pressing roller 31 is horizontally positioned above the eight-tube placement plate 1. Pressing rods 32 are fixed to both sides of the pressing roller 31 and positioned at the slots 24 of the fixing plates on both sides of the positioning base 2. These rods are used to push the pressing roller 31 back and forth to press the cover. Additionally, an elastic component 25 is provided below the pressing rod. The elastic component 25 includes a compressible sponge strip, which forms a clearance area with the eight-tube placement plate 1 below, facilitating the pulling out of the eight-tube placement plate 1.

[0030] Compared to a traditional flat pressing surface, the arc-shaped pressing surface of the pressure roller 31 makes contact with the object being pressed through a curved surface. The contact point is usually not a single point or a straight line, but an area. The arc shape allows the pressure to be distributed over a larger area, and the size and shape of the contact area vary with the curvature of the arc, the pressing force, and the characteristics of the object being pressed.

[0031] The pressure distribution on the arc-shaped pressing surface of the pressure roller 31 is relatively uniform. When pressure is applied, due to the arc shape, the pressure is dispersed and transmitted to the object being pressed along the arc surface. At the same time, because the pressure distribution is uniform, the object being pressed can undergo more uniform shape changes, making it less prone to excessive local deformation or breakage.

[0032] The contact state between a curved object and the object being pressed differs from that of a flat object. For example, when a curved pressure roller 31 presses against a flat surface, the pressure roller 31 makes line contact with the surface, rather than surface contact. However, during the rolling process, different points on the pressure roller 31 successively contact the surface. In fact, for a certain period of time, an area of ​​a certain width on the surface is subjected to pressure. The width of this area is related to the curvature of the pressure roller 31 and the rolling distance, which can also be seen as a special way of increasing the force-bearing area.

[0033] This eight-tube capping device can uniformly and quickly cap the eight tubes, preventing gaps caused by improper capping or excessive force that could lead to deformation or breakage of the eight tubes, causing liquid evaporation or contamination during amplification, increasing the sample testing cycle, prolonging the time for patients to obtain reports, and causing inconvenience to staff.
