Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oscillators, specifically relating to a replaceable vortex oscillator tray device. Background Technology

[0002] In experimental fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine, vortex oscillators are a commonly used sample mixing device. With their efficient oscillation and mixing capabilities, they are widely used in experimental operations such as solution mixing, cell suspension, and reagent dissolution. The tray device, as the core component of the vortex oscillator, plays an important role in placing sample containers and transmitting oscillation force.

[0003] Most commercially available vortex oscillator tray devices employ a fixed connection structure. This can be achieved by welding or integral molding to directly connect the tray to the oscillator base, or by using complex bolt sets and locking mechanisms. While this design can ensure the structural stability of the tray during high-frequency oscillation to some extent and reduce the risk of shaking or falling off, it also greatly inconveniences the disassembly and replacement of the tray. In actual experimental operations, the tray is prone to wear, deformation, or surface aging due to long-term use, leading to unstable placement of sample containers. Different experiments have significantly different requirements for tray specifications; for example, different diameter test tubes require trays with different aperture sizes, and multiple parallel experiments require changing to multi-aperture trays. When faced with these situations, the existing fixed connection structure requires operators to disassemble the tray with specialized tools, severely impacting experimental progress, limiting the flexibility of equipment use, and failing to meet the demands of modern experiments for efficient and convenient operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that the tray of the vortex oscillator tray device is inconvenient to disassemble during use, thus affecting the experimental progress, a replaceable vortex oscillator tray device is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a replaceable vortex oscillator tray device, including an oscillator and a tray assembly. A connecting assembly is installed at the output end of the oscillator. The connecting assembly includes a fixed base and a fixed cylinder 1 fixedly connected to the output end of the oscillator. The outer wall of the fixed cylinder 1 has three equally spaced grooves 1. The inner wall of each of the three grooves 1 has a groove 2. The lower end of the fixed base is hinged with three equally spaced grippers. The end of each of the three grippers near the center of the fixed base is fixedly connected with a block 1. The grippers are adapted to the grooves 1 and the blocks 1 are adapted to the grooves 2. A fastening ring is threaded onto the outer wall of the fixed base. The inner wall of the fastening ring fits against the outer wall of the grippers. A mounting post is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed base. A fixing assembly is installed on the upper end of the mounting post. The tray assembly is installed on the upper end of the fixing assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the pallet assembly includes a pallet frame, the outer wall of which has several equally spaced support grooves, and the inner wall of each support groove has symmetrically distributed sliding grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, each groove is equipped with a slider, and a spring is fixedly connected to one end of the slider that is close to the inner wall of the corresponding groove, while the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a soft pad is fixed to one end of the slider located inside the support groove, and a test tube is placed inside the support groove, with the outer wall of the soft pad fitting against the outer wall of the test tube.

[0009] Furthermore, an elastic band is fitted around the outer edge of the tray frame, with the inside of the elastic band fitting against the outer wall of the test tube. The fixing assembly includes a fixing cylinder two that is fixed to the center of the inner wall of the tray frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 2 is provided with six equally spaced grooves 3, and the outer wall of the mounting column is fixed with six equally spaced locking blocks 2, which are adapted to the grooves 3.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing hole is provided through the upper end of the mounting column, and a screw hole is provided on the inner wall of the upper end of the fixing cylinder two. A bolt is provided on the inner wall of the mounting column, and the end of the bolt passes through the fixing hole and is threaded into the screw hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The clamping jaws hinged to the lower end of the fixed base can clamp the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, thereby limiting and fixing the clamping jaws in the slot. The clamping jaws can drive the first clamping block to be embedded into the second clamping slot, improving the stability of clamping. The threaded fastening ring can move up and down along the outer wall of the fixed base, so that the inner wall of the fastening ring fits against the outer wall of the clamping jaw, thereby fixing the clamping jaw and improving the stability of clamping. Moving the fastening ring upward can cancel the fixing of the clamping jaw. Compared with the existing vortex oscillator tray device, the added connecting component can be pushed by the fastening ring to clamp the fixed cylinder, fixing the tray assembly to the output end of the oscillator. This ensures connection stability while facilitating the installation of the tray assembly to the output end of the oscillator and facilitating the disassembly of the tray assembly.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a replaceable vortex oscillator tray device, including an oscillator 1 and a tray assembly 2. A connecting assembly 3 is installed at the output end of the oscillator 1. The connecting assembly 3 includes a fixing base 306 and a fixing cylinder 301 fixed to the output end of the oscillator 1. The outer wall of the fixing cylinder 301 has three equally spaced grooves 302, and the inner wall of each of the three grooves 302 has a groove 303. The lower end of the fixing base 306 is hinged with three equally spaced clamps. The three grippers 304 are each fixedly connected to a locking block 305 at one end near the center of the fixed base 306. The grippers 304 are adapted to the locking slot 302, and the locking block 305 is adapted to the locking slot 303. A fastening ring 307 is threaded on the outer wall of the fixed base 306. The inner wall of the fastening ring 307 fits against the outer wall of the grippers 304. A mounting post 308 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed base 306. A fixing component is installed on the upper end of the mounting post 308. A tray component 2 is installed on the upper end of the fixing component.

[0021] The gripper 304, hinged to the lower end of the fixed base 306, can clamp onto the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 301, so that the slot 302 limits and fixes the gripper 304. The gripper 304 can drive the first block 305 to be embedded into the slot 303, improving the stability of clamping. The threaded fastening ring 307 can move up and down along the outer wall of the fixed base 306, so that the inner wall of the fastening ring 307 fits against the outer wall of the gripper 304, which can fix the gripper 304 and improve the stability of clamping. Moving the fastening ring 307 upward can cancel the fixation of the gripper 304, thereby facilitating the separation of the fixed base 306 and the fixed cylinder 301. In this way, while ensuring the connection stability, it is convenient to install the tray assembly 2 to the output end of the vibrator 1 and to facilitate the disassembly of the tray assembly 2.

[0022] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the tray assembly 2 includes a tray frame 201. The outer wall of the tray frame 201 has several equidistant surrounding support grooves 202. The inner wall of each support groove 202 has symmetrically distributed sliding grooves 203. In use, the support grooves 202 can provide space for the sliding grooves 203. The support grooves 202 can support the tools that need support. A slider 205 is slidably installed in each sliding groove 203. A spring 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 205 that is close to the inner wall of the corresponding sliding groove 203. The other end of the spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 203. In use, the spring 204 can push the slider 205 to move along the inner wall of the sliding groove 203, so that one end of the slider 205 extends outside the sliding groove 203.

[0023] Please see Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, a soft pad 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 205 located inside the support groove 202. A test tube 207 is provided inside the support groove 202. The outer wall of the soft pad 206 is in contact with the outer wall of the test tube 207. In use, the soft pad 206 can be pushed by the spring 204 to contact and clamp the test tube 207, thereby clamping and fixing the test tube 207. An elastic band 208 is sleeved on the outer edge of the tray frame 201. The inside of the elastic band 208 is in contact with the outer wall of the test tube 207. The fixing component includes a fixing cylinder 401 fixed to the center of the inner wall of the tray frame 201. In use, the elastic band 208 can further clamp and fix the test tube 207, improving the stability of the test tube 207 during operation. The fixing component can fix the connecting component 3, thereby facilitating the fixing of the tray component 2 onto the vibrator 1.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 2 401 is provided with six equally spaced grooves 3 402, and the outer wall of the mounting post 308 is fixed with six equally spaced locking blocks 2 309. The locking blocks 2 309 are adapted to the grooves 3 402. In use, the fixing cylinder 2 401 can be limited by the locking blocks 2 309 cooperating with the grooves 3 402 to prevent the fixing cylinder 2 401 from slipping and loosening. The upper end of the mounting post 308 is provided with a fixing hole 310, and the inner wall of the upper end of the fixing cylinder 2 401 is provided with a screw hole 403. The inner wall of the mounting post 308 is provided with a bolt 311. The end of the bolt 311 passes through the fixing hole 310 and is threaded into the screw hole 403. In use, the fixing cylinder 2 401 can be limited and fixed on the mounting post 308 by the bolt 311, thereby limiting and fixing the connecting component 3 to the lower end of the tray component 2.

[0025] During operation, firstly, align the mounting post 308 with the lower opening of the fixing cylinder 401, align the slot 402 with the locking block 309, and push the mounting post 308 into the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 401. Then, thread the bolt 311 through the fixing hole 310 into the screw hole 403 to complete the installation and fixing of the connecting component 3. Next, align the clamp 304 with the slot 302 and the locking block 305 with the slot 303, so that the locking block 305 is embedded in the slot 303. Rotate the fastening ring 307 to push the gripper 304 to clamp the slot 302, thus completing the connection between the tray assembly 2 and the vibrator 1. Then, insert the test tube 207 into the support slot 202, so that the spring 204 pushes the slider 205 to drive the soft pad 206 to clamp the outer wall of the test tube 207, thus initially fixing the test tube 207. Then, tie the elastic band 208 to the outer edge of the tray frame 201 to further fix the test tube 207. Finally, start the vibrator 1.

[0026] Through the above steps, the gripper 304 hinged to the lower end of the fixed base 306 can be clamped on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 301, so that the slot 302 limits and fixes the gripper 304. The gripper 304 can drive the first locking block 305 to be embedded into the slot 303, improving the stability of clamping. The threaded fastening ring 307 can move up and down along the outer wall of the fixed base 306, so that the inner wall of the fastening ring 307 fits against the outer wall of the gripper 304, which can fix the gripper 304 and improve the stability of clamping. Moving the fastening ring 307 upward can cancel the fixation of the gripper 304, thereby facilitating the separation of the fixed base 306 and the fixed cylinder 301. This solves the problem that the tray of the vortex oscillator tray device is not easy to disassemble during use, thus affecting the experimental progress.
