Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] Example
[0023] To address the aforementioned issues: the existing vortex oscillator's oscillation platform and centrifuge tubes are designed as separate units, which cannot guarantee batch-to-batch consistency of samples when switching between them, thus affecting the uniformity of sample mixing.
[0024] The solution is as follows: A vortex oscillator, comprising a device body 1, which includes a support device 2 and an oscillation device 3. The oscillation device 3 is mounted on the top rear side of the support device 2. The oscillation device 3 includes a drive motor 4, a motor mounting plate 5, an eccentric wheel 6, a flexible adapter plate 7, and an oscillation platform 8. The drive motor 4 is mounted at the bottom of the motor mounting plate 5, with its drive end located at the top of the motor mounting plate 5. The motor mounting plate 5 has a square shape. The eccentric wheel 6 is mounted on the drive end of the drive motor 4. The flexible adapter plate 7 is mounted on the eccentric wheel 6. The oscillation platform 8 is mounted on the flexible adapter plate 7. The top of the adapter plate 7; the flexible adapter plate 7 has a T-shaped structure, and the middle part of the flexible adapter plate 7 is a hollow structure. The flexible adapter plate 7 has a welding block 9 inside, which has an n-shaped structure. The welding block 9 has a bearing sleeve 10 inside, and the top of the bearing sleeve 10 has several sets of locking holes 12 distributed in a ring-shaped equidistant pattern. The surface of the flexible adapter plate 7 has a weight-reducing groove 11, which has a U-shaped structure. The operator installs the sample container to be vibrated on the vibration platform 8. When the drive motor 4 rotates, the drive motor 4 drives the eccentric wheel 6, which performs an eccentric motion. The eccentric wheel 6 vibrates the flexible welded plate 7 and drives the vibration platform 8 to generate high-frequency vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the sample container, causing the material inside the container to generate vortex motion and achieve uniform mixing.
[0025] The oscillation platform 8 has a rectangular structure and includes a sample mounting plate 13 and a side railing 14. The side railing 14 has a U-shaped structure. The sample mounting plate 13 and the side railing 14 are smoothly transitioned and integrally formed. The side railing 14 is located on the top outer side of the sample mounting plate 13. A centrifuge tube adapter 15 is provided at the top center of the sample mounting plate 13. The centrifuge tube adapter 15 has a circular concave structure.
[0026] The sample mounting plate 13 has a rotating mounting block 16 on the rear right side and a limiting block 18 on the front right side. The rotating mounting block 16 has a clamping plate latch 17 installed inside it via a rotating shaft. The clamping plate latch 17 has an L-shaped structure. When the centrifuge tube foam is placed on the sample mounting plate 13, the operator rotates the clamping plate latch 17 so that one end of the clamping plate latch 17 is locked with the limiting block 18, thereby limiting the centrifuge tube foam on the sample mounting plate 13 and ensuring that the container will not shake or fall off during the oscillation process.
[0027] The support device 2 includes a support housing 19 and support feet 20. The support housing 19 has a trapezoidal shape and a hollow interior. Two sets of support feet 20 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the support housing 19. The support feet 20 are circular in shape and made of rubber. During use, the support housing 19 is used to mount the oscillation device 3, and the support feet 20 prevent slippage or displacement during operation. The support housing protects internal components and enhances the appearance. A control device can also be installed on the top front of the support housing 19 for further use. This control device is a common technology on the market and includes speed adjustment, timing, and control circuitry. Users can adjust the speed via the operating screen to change the motor speed and thus adjust the oscillation intensity of the vortex oscillator. The timing function sets the operating time of the vortex oscillator. The control circuitry is the core of the control system, responsible for receiving and processing signals from speed, timing, etc., and controlling the motor's start and stop operations.
[0028] Working Principle: During operation, the operator installs the sample container to be shaken on the shaking platform 8 (the centrifuge tube foam is placed on the sample mounting plate 13, and the operator rotates the clamping plate latch 17, thereby locking one end of the clamping plate latch 17 with the limiting block 18, thus limiting the centrifuge tube foam on the sample mounting plate 13 and ensuring that the container will not shake or fall off during the shaking process). Then, when the drive motor 4 rotates (the drive motor 4 is the power source; the DC brushless external rotor motor has good speed regulation performance, large starting torque, and can accurately control the speed), the drive motor 4 drives the eccentric wheel 6, which performs eccentric motion. The eccentric wheel 6 shakes the flexible welded plate 7 and drives the shaking platform 8 to generate high-frequency vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the sample container, causing the material inside the container to generate vortex motion and achieve the purpose of uniform mixing.

The problem solved by this invention is that the existing vortex oscillator's oscillation platform and centrifuge tubes are designed separately, which cannot guarantee batch-to-batch consistency of samples when switching between them, affecting the uniformity of sample mixing. This invention improves batch-to-batch mixing consistency by combining the above-mentioned components and integrating the oscillation platform and centrifuge tubes into one unit. The flexible structure ensures that the load does not twist in the plane, thus ensuring the flatness of the sample.
