[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Those skilled in the art will understand that the test tube rack of this application is mainly suitable for the placement and use of medical test tubes, and is particularly capable of adjusting the height support of the test tubes.
[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application proposes a test tube rack, which includes a frame body 1, a shelf plate 2, a support plate 3, a reserved plate 4, and a locking component. The shelf plate 2 and the reserved plate 4 are each provided with multiple test tube holes, each hole for holding a test tube 5. The size of the test tube hole can be designed according to the size of the test tube 5. The frame body 1 has a test tube cavity, and a set of slots 11 are provided at the same horizontal height on opposite side walls within the test tube cavity. That is, slots 11 are provided on two side walls at the same horizontal height to accommodate the insertion of a shelf plate 2, support plate 3, or reserved plate 4. To accommodate test tubes of different sizes at varying heights, multiple sets of slots 11 are vertically arranged on the side wall. Each set of slots 11 is located at different horizontal heights on the side wall, allowing the rack 2 and support plate 3 to be selectively inserted according to the required support height of the test tubes, thereby adjusting the support height. Specifically, the rack 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 can be horizontally inserted into the slots 11 within the test tube cavity and can be disassembled. Furthermore, the support plate 3 is located at the bottom of the rack 2 to support the test tubes 5 on the rack 2, thus supporting the entire rack 2. The reserved plate 4 is located at the bottom of the support plate 3 for future use. The rack 2 and support plate 3 can be adjusted by inserting different sets of slots 11 to adjust the height of the test tubes 5 on the rack 2. Furthermore, locking components are detachably connected to the frame 1, rack 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 to prevent them from detaching from the frame 1. The test tube rack proposed in this application can effectively adjust the support height of the test tubes, thereby effectively reserving space for storing the pre-installed plates. These plates can be designed in various sizes to accommodate different test tube sizes. This solution features a simple and practical structural design, allowing for easy operation and enabling the placement and support of various test tubes, preventing them from falling off and improving work efficiency.
[0036] like Figure 1-5As shown, in some embodiments, the locking element can be a limiting rod 6, which includes an insert rod 61 and a locking block 62. To lock the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4, a slot 13 is provided on the side wall of the frame 1, and insertion holes are provided on the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 respectively. Specifically, the locking block 62 of the limiting rod can be engaged in the slot 13 to limit the movement of the limiting rod in the horizontal direction; the insert rod 61 can be simultaneously inserted into the insertion holes of the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4, thereby limiting the movement of the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 in the horizontal direction and preventing them from detaching from the frame 1. The insertion holes on the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 are located on the same straight line, that is, when the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 are inserted into the slot 11, the insertion holes on the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 are located on the same vertical axis to achieve connection. This design also facilitates processing and forming.
[0037] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in some embodiments, the length, width, and thickness of the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 are all the same, that is, the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 are the same size, which facilitates processing and forming. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the test tube hole on the reserved plate 4 is different from the inner diameter of the test tube hole on the frame plate 2. Preferably, the inner diameter of the test tube hole on the reserved plate 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the test tube hole on the frame plate 2. Handles 12 are also provided on the outer walls of the frame 1 for easy carrying.
[0038] like Figure 10-16 As shown, in some embodiments, the test tube rack also includes a cover plate 8; the cover plate 8 is rotatably disposed on the frame 1, and the cover plate 8 can also cover the test tubes 5 on the frame plate 2 by rotating to press the test tubes 5, so as to prevent the test tubes 5 from falling off and facilitate the transportation of the test tube rack.
[0039] like Figure 10-16 As shown, in some embodiments, rotating parts 7 are respectively provided on the outer side walls of opposite sides of the frame 1, and rotating plates are respectively provided at both ends of the cover plate 8. The rotating plates are preferably designed in an L-shape; the rotating plates are provided with L-shaped grooves 81; the cover plate 8 is connected to the rotating parts 7 through the grooves 81 and can rotate around the rotating parts 7, thereby realizing the function of rotating to cover the test tube 5 and shrinking.
[0040] like Figure 8-16 As shown, referring to the above embodiment, L-shaped grooves 81 are respectively provided on the outer side walls of opposite sides of the frame 1, and rotating plates are respectively provided at both ends of the cover plate 8, with rotating parts 7 on the rotating plates; specifically, the cover plate 8 is connected to the grooves 81 through the rotating parts 7 and can rotate within the grooves 81, thereby realizing the functions of rotating to cover the test tube 5 and shrinking. Specifically, the rotating coverage of the cover plate 8 refers to... Figure 17 The sequence shown. Reference for the contraction of cover plate 8. Figure 17 The reverse order.
[0041] like Figure 8-16 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating component 7 includes a knob 71 and a threaded rod 72; wherein, the knob 71 is disposed at one end outside the threaded rod 72 and is integrally formed with the threaded rod 72; specifically, the outer diameter of the knob 71 is larger than the width of the slide groove 81, so that the knob 71 is slidably connected to the slide groove 81 through the threaded rod 72, and can be locked on the rotating plate during rotation, thereby fixing the cover plate 8, that is, the rotating component 7 is connected to the frame 1 through the slide groove 81 via the threaded rod 72, and can lock the rotating plate on the outer wall of the frame 1 by rotation, thereby locking the cover plate 8.
[0042] like Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating member 7 is slidably connected to the slide groove 81, such that when the rotating member 7 slides to the end of one side of the L-shaped slide groove 81, the rotating plate retracts to the outer wall of the frame 1. At this time, the cover plate 8 covers the front or rear side of the frame 1 to prevent the frame plate 2, support plate 3, and reserved plate 4 from detaching from the frame 1. Figure 15 As shown, when the rotating component 7 slides to the other side of the L-shaped groove 81, the cover plate 8 is located at the top of the test tube 5 and covers the test tube 5 on the rack plate 2 to press the test tube 5 tightly. It should be noted that at this time, the rotating component 7 is only located in the middle position on the other side of the L-shaped groove 81, not at the end, so that the entire cover plate 8 can extend and retract in the vertical direction, avoiding interference with the test tube 5.
[0043] like Figure 10-16 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate 8 includes a first cover plate and a second cover plate; wherein, the two ends of the first cover plate are rotatably disposed on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and can rotate clockwise on the left and right outer side walls of the frame 1; the two ends of the second cover plate are rotatably disposed on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and can rotate counterclockwise on the left and right outer side walls of the frame 1. By adopting the above scheme, and by designing the first and second cover plates to be flipped in different directions, the test tube 5 can be pressed tightly along both sides, and the cover plates can be easily retracted.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a partition 9 is provided vertically inside the frame 1, and the partition 9 divides the frame 1 into multiple rows of test tube cavities, preferably two rows. Furthermore, slots 11 can also be arranged horizontally on the side wall of the partition 9 to achieve detachable insertion. Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent sets of slots 11 on the lower side of the test tube cavity is smaller than the distance between two adjacent sets of slots 11 on the upper side of the test tube cavity, thus allowing for the placement of more reserved plates 4 and saving space.
[0045] The test tube rack proposed in this application has a simple and practical structural design, which can easily adjust the placement support height of the test tubes and realize more reserved plates for storage, thereby meeting the placement of test tubes of various specifications.
[0046] Although the embodiments disclosed in this application are as described above, the content is merely for the purpose of facilitating understanding of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art to which this application pertains may make any modifications and changes in the form and details of the implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in this application; however, the scope of patent protection of this application shall still be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
