Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory equipment technology, specifically to a sample cup anti-tipping tray. Background Technology
[0002] In laboratories, medical testing, and other fields, PFA sample cups are often used to hold samples for analysis and testing. For example, during bauxite experiments, various unexpected situations, such as collisions, vibrations, or improper handling, can easily cause the sample cups to tip over, resulting in spillage, contamination, or leakage of the samples. This not only affects the accuracy of experimental or testing results but may also lead to sample waste and environmental pollution. Existing sample cup placement trays typically place PFA sample cups directly on the tray, which suffers from insufficient stability and a lack of reliable positioning. Utility Model Content

[0010] After adopting the above structure, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] In this application, by setting up the PFA sample cup placement component, the sample cup is placed in the jack on the top plate and fixed by the limiting mechanism. Coupled with the auxiliary support of the groove on the top surface of the bottom plate and the rubber pad on the inner wall, the stability of the sample cup placement is ensured from multiple aspects, effectively preventing tipping caused by collisions, vibrations, etc.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] Combination Figures 1-2 As shown, a sample cup anti-tipping tray includes a tray body 1 and a PFA sample cup placement component 2.
[0024] The PFA sample cup placement assembly 2 is detachably mounted on the tray body 1. The PFA sample cup placement assembly 2 includes a bottom plate 3, a top plate 7, and a middle support leg 6. The bottom plate 3 and the top plate 7 are arranged opposite each other, and the middle support leg 6 is located between the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 7. The top plate 7 has several evenly spaced insertion holes, and a limiting mechanism that cooperates with the PFA sample cup is detachably installed in the insertion holes. By placing the PFA sample cup placement assembly 2 on the tray body 1, and then inserting the PFA sample cups into the insertion holes in sequence to cooperate with the limiting mechanism, the position is fixed to prevent it from tipping over.
[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tray body 1 is made of a magnetic metal material. Specifically, the tray body 1 is made of stainless steel, which not only has good magnetism, enabling a stable magnetic connection with the magnetic block 4, but also has high strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in complex environments such as laboratories and medical testing. It is also resistant to rust and deformation during long-term use, ensuring the structural stability and service life of the tray body 1.
[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom surface of the base plate 3 is provided with a magnetic block 4 that is magnetically connected to the tray body 1. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3As shown, the magnetic attraction block 4 is of a rectangular structure and is made of neodymium iron boron magnetic material, which has high magnetism and strong stability and can provide sufficient adsorption force. The magnetic attraction blocks 4 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the bottom plate 3 and are closely fitted to the magnetic surface of the tray body 1. When the PFA sample cup placing component 2 is placed on the tray body 1, the magnetic force between the magnetic attraction block 4 and the tray body 1 can effectively prevent the PFA sample cup placing component 2 from sliding on the tray body 1, ensuring the stability of the entire placing structure. At the same time, the magnetic connection method also facilitates the quick disassembly and installation of the PFA sample cup placing component 2.
[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, a groove 5 opposite to the jack is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate 3, and a rubber pad is provided on the inner wall of the groove 5. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the groove 5 is circular, and its diameter is slightly larger than the bottom diameter of the PFA sample cup, which can provide stable support for the bottom of the sample cup. The rubber pad is made of natural rubber material with high elasticity and wear resistance and is closely fitted to the inner wall of the groove 5. When the PFA sample cup is inserted into the jack of the top plate 7, its bottom will fall into the groove 5, and the rubber pad is in close contact with the bottom of the sample cup. On the one hand, it can increase the friction when the sample cup is placed and prevent the sample cup from moving in the horizontal direction; on the other hand, the elasticity of the rubber pad can buffer external vibrations and impact forces, further improving the stability of the sample cup placement and preventing the sample cup from tipping due to vibrations.
[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, a clamping groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the jack, and a placement groove 12 communicating with the clamping groove 11 is provided on the top plate 7 from its top surface downward. The limiting mechanism enters and is placed in the clamping groove 11 through the placement groove 12. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the clamping groove 11 is an annular groove, and the placement groove 12 is perpendicular to and communicates with the clamping groove 11. When installing the limiting mechanism, first align the limiting block 9 of the flexible limiting plate 8 with the placement groove 12, and then push the limiting mechanism downward along the placement groove 12 until the limiting block 9 is clamped into the clamping groove 11. Then rotate the flexible limiting plate 8 to make the limiting block 9 misaligned with the placement groove 12, so as to fix the limiting mechanism on the top plate 7. This installation method is simple to operate and can ensure that the limiting mechanism will not easily fall off during use. At the same time, it can also meet the limiting requirements of PFA sample cups of various specifications and improve the versatility of the tray.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes a flexible limiting plate 8. A limiting block 9 with a width and radius adapted to the placement groove 12 and a thickness adapted to the clamping groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the flexible limiting plate 8. A "cross" shaped dividing groove 10 is provided on the flexible limiting plate 8 to divide it into several fan-shaped parts. The PFA sample cup is inserted through the centers of the several fan-shaped parts, causing the fan-shaped parts to deform and fit against the side wall of the PFA sample cup to achieve the anti-tipping effect. Specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, the flexible limiting plate 8 is made of silicone material, which has good flexibility and elasticity. It can deform when the sample cup is inserted and fit tightly against the side wall of the sample cup. When the PFA sample cup is inserted into the center of the fan-shaped part, the fan-shaped part is squeezed by the sample cup and expands outward to tightly wrap the sample cup, forming a stable limiting structure. It limits the sample cup from multiple directions and effectively prevents the sample cup from tipping over. At the same time, the silicone material has the characteristics of chemical corrosion resistance and can adapt to the use scenarios of samples with different chemical properties.
[0030] In summary, combining Figure 5 As shown, the sample cup anti-tipping tray provided by this utility model achieves multi-directional stable positioning of the PFA sample cup through the magnetic connection between the tray body 1 and the PFA sample cup placement component 2, as well as the synergistic effect of the groove 5 of the bottom plate 3, the rubber pad, and the limiting mechanism of the top plate 7 in the PFA sample cup placement component 2. Whether it is during the handling and placement process in the experimental operation, or in the face of external collisions and vibrations, this tray can effectively prevent the sample cup from tipping over, ensure the safety of the sample, and improve the accuracy of experiments and tests. At the same time, the detachable design of each component facilitates maintenance and replacement, improving the practicality and service life of the tray.
