[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a centrifuge device 1, including a centrifuge cylinder 11, a shell 12, a first magnetic connector 13, a second magnetic connector 14, and a motor. The centrifuge cylinder 11 includes a first rotating shaft 111, a second rotating shaft 112, and a cylinder body 113. The first rotating shaft 111 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder body 113, and the second rotating shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder body 113. The shell 12 includes a first bearing 121, a second bearing 122, and a housing 123. The cylinder body 113 is disposed within the housing 123. The first bearing 121 is disposed at the top of the housing 123. The first rotating shaft 111 is rotatably connected to the housing 123 via the first bearing 121. The second bearing 122 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 123, and the second rotating shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the housing 123 via the second bearing 122. The first magnetic connector 13 includes a tray 131 and a first magnetic attractor 135. The tray 131 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 112, and the first magnetic attractor 135 surrounds the second rotating shaft 112 and is fixedly connected to the tray 131. The second magnetic connector 14 includes a rotating disk 141 and a second magnetic attractor 143. A motor is driven to rotate the rotating disk 141. The motor is used to drive the rotating disk 141 to rotate. The second magnetic attractor 143 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 141 and corresponds to the first magnetic attractor 135. The second magnetic attractor 143 can rotate under force and attract the first magnetic attractor 135 to drive the tray 131 and the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate.

[0028] The centrifuge device 1 provided in this embodiment improves the positional accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 through the first bearing 121 and the second bearing 122. The centrifuge device 1 is connected to the first magnetic attractor 135 through the second magnetic attractor 143. The second magnetic attractor 143 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135 to drive the tray 131 to rotate, thereby improving the stability of the tray 131 driving the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate. Therefore, the coaxiality accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 and the rotating shaft of the motor is high, so as to reduce the vibration noise when the centrifuge cylinder 11 rotates.

[0029] In this embodiment, the centrifuge device 1 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135 through the second magnetic attractor 143 to drive the tray 131 and the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate. This reduces the direct connection between the motor shaft and the centrifuge cylinder 11 of the centrifuge device 1, thereby reducing the occurrence of low coaxiality between the rotation shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 and the rotation shaft of the motor, and solving the problem of noise caused by rotational friction due to low coaxiality in the prior art.

[0030] The first magnetic attractor 135 and the second magnetic attractor 143 can be permanent magnets or electromagnets. Multiple first magnetic attractors 135 and second magnetic attractors 143 are provided, arranged alternately. The magnetic poles of the first magnetic attractor 135 and the second magnetic attractor 143 correspond one-to-one along the axial direction of the rotating disk 141 and attract each other, causing the second magnetic attractor 143 to attract the first magnetic attractor 135, thereby driving the tray 131 and the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate. When the motor is turned on and drives the rotating disk 141 to rotate, the rotational speed of the rotating disk 141 increases rapidly. The rotating disk 141 drives the second magnetic attractor 143 to rotate, and the second magnetic attractor 143 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135, thus steadily increasing the speed of the first magnetic attractor 135 and the tray 131, reducing vibration noise of the tray 131 when the motor starts.

[0031] The centrifuge cylinder 11 is used to rotate to complete the blood separation operation. The cylinder body 113 of the centrifuge cylinder 11 includes a piston 116, an upper cylinder portion 114, and a lower cylinder portion 115. The upper cylinder portion 114 and the lower cylinder portion 115 are detachably connected and are connected to form a centrifuge chamber. The piston 116 is movably disposed in the centrifuge chamber. A first rotating shaft 111 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder portion 114, and a second rotating shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the lower cylinder portion 115.

[0032] The shell 12 is used to house the centrifuge cylinder 11, which rotates inside the shell 12. The shell 12 includes two semi-cylindrical shell portions 127, which are joined together to form the shell 12.

[0033] Please combine Figures 1 to 2 As shown, Figures 1 to 2 All of these are first embodiments of the centrifuge device 1 of this application. The periphery of the tray 131 is provided with a first groove 134, and the first magnetic member 135 is fixed to the first groove 134. The periphery of the rotating disk 141 is provided with a second groove 142, and the second magnetic member 143 is fixed to the second groove 142. The first groove 134 and the second groove 142 correspond to each other along the axial direction of the rotating disk 141.

[0034] In this embodiment, the opening direction of the first groove 134 is oriented upwards along the axial direction of the rotating disk 141. The thickness of the bottom wall of the first groove 134 is between 1mm and 2mm. This facilitates the fixed placement of the first magnetic member 135 within the first groove 134, and the magnetic field lines of the first magnetic member 135 pass through the bottom wall of the first groove 134, causing the first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 143 to attract each other. The opening direction of the second groove 142 faces the bottom wall of the first groove 134, which further facilitates the attraction between the first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 143. The second magnetic member 143 attracts the first magnetic member 135, causing the speed of the first magnetic member 135 and the tray 131 to increase steadily, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the tray 131 when the motor starts.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the tray 131 and the rotating disk 141 are spaced apart, and the distance between the tray 131 and the rotating disk 141 does not exceed 15mm.

[0036] Please combine Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the second rotating shaft 112 of the centrifuge cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the tray 131, so that the bottom surface of the tray 131 is suspended. The rotating disk 141 is located below the tray 131, and the distance between the bottom surface of the tray 131 and the top surface of the rotating disk 141 is no more than 15mm. This facilitates the attraction between the first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 143. The second magnetic member 143 attracts the first magnetic member 135, so that the speed of the first magnetic member 135 and the tray 131 is steadily increased, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the tray 131 when the motor starts.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the tray 131 includes a tray portion 132 and a connecting hole portion 133. The connecting hole portion 133 protrudes from the surface of the tray portion 132 along the axial direction of the rotating disk 141. The second rotating shaft 112 extends into the connecting hole portion 133 and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole portion 133. The inner ring of the second bearing 122 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting hole portion 133, and the outer ring of the second bearing 122 is fixedly connected to the housing 123.

[0038] In this embodiment, a first magnetic attractor 135 is disposed on the periphery of the tray portion 132, and a second magnetic attractor 143 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135, causing the tray portion 132 to rotate along the connecting hole portion 133. The tray portion 132 extends horizontally from the circumferential surface of the connecting hole portion 133, thereby improving the stability of the tray 131's rotation. The second rotating shaft 112 extends into the connecting hole portion 133, which facilitates the stable rotation of the tray 131 and the second rotating shaft 112, thereby reducing the vibration noise between the tray 131 and the second rotating shaft 112 of the centrifuge cylinder 11 when the motor starts.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the housing 123 is provided with a second annular groove 126, the second bearing 122 is disposed in the second annular groove 126, and the outer ring of the second bearing 122 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second annular groove 126.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second annular groove 126 is used to improve the positional accuracy of the second bearing 122, reduce the positional deviation of the second rotating shaft 112 of the centrifuge cylinder 11 during rotation, and improve the coaxiality accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 and the rotating shaft of the motor, so as to reduce the vibration noise when the centrifuge cylinder 11 rotates.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the top of the housing 123 is provided with a first annular groove 125, which corresponds to a second annular groove 126 along the axial direction of the rotating disk 141. A first bearing 121 is disposed in the first annular groove 125, with the outer ring of the first bearing 121 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first annular groove 125 and the inner ring of the first bearing 121 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 111.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first annular groove 125 is used to improve the positional accuracy of the first bearing 121, reduce the positional deviation of the first rotating shaft 111 of the centrifuge cylinder 11 during rotation, and improve the coaxiality accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 and the rotating shaft of the motor, so as to reduce the vibration noise when the centrifuge cylinder 11 rotates.

[0043] Please combine Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In a second embodiment of the centrifuge device 1 of this application, in one possible implementation, the surface of the rotating disk 141 is recessed to form a receiving cavity, and the tray 131 is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity, with the circumferential surface of the tray 131 engaging with the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first magnetic chuck 143 and the second magnetic chuck 143 correspond radially along the rotating disk 141. The first magnetic chuck 143 is fixed to the periphery of the tray 131, and the second magnetic chuck 143 is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The second magnetic chuck 143 attracts the first magnetic chuck 135 to drive the tray 131 and the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the first magnetic chuck 143 is disposed on the periphery of the tray 131, and the second magnetic chuck 143 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0046] In this embodiment, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic attractor 135 and the second magnetic attractor 143 correspond one-to-one along the radial direction of the rotating disk 141 and attract each other, so that the second magnetic attractor 143 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135 to drive the tray 131 and the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate. On the one hand, the tray 131 and the rotating disk 141 are connected by magnetic attraction but not contact, thereby reducing rotational noise caused by coaxiality issues; on the other hand, the tray 131 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the rotating disk 141, so that the magnetic forces of the first magnetic attractor 135 and the second magnetic attractor 143 are concentrated, thereby improving the rotational stability of the tray 131 and making the tray 131 rotate smoothly in the receiving cavity of the rotating disk 141.

[0047] In one possible implementation, a fixing part 124 is provided on the side of the housing 123, and the fixing part 124 is used for positioning the housing 123.

[0048] In this embodiment, the position of the housing 123 is fixed, and the centrifuge tube 11 rotates inside the housing 123 to improve the stability of the rotation of the centrifuge tube 11, thereby reducing the vibration noise when the centrifuge tube 11 rotates.

[0049] In summary, the centrifuge device 1 provided in this embodiment improves the positional accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 through the first bearing 121 and the second bearing 122. The centrifuge device 1 uses the second magnetic attractor 143 to correspond with the first magnetic attractor 135. The second magnetic attractor 143 attracts the first magnetic attractor 135 to drive the tray 131 to rotate, thereby improving the stability of the tray 131 driving the centrifuge cylinder 11 to rotate. Therefore, the coaxiality accuracy of the rotating shaft of the centrifuge cylinder 11 and the rotating shaft of the motor is high, so as to reduce the vibration noise when the centrifuge cylinder 11 rotates.
