Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental equipment technology, specifically a centrifuge tube rack. Background Technology

[0002] Centrifuge tube racks are basic tools used in laboratories to fix, store, protect, and manage centrifuge tubes. Their core function is to ensure the stability, safety, and ease of operation of centrifuge tubes during the experimental process. They fix centrifuge tubes with regularly arranged holes to prevent them from tipping over, slipping, or colliding with each other.

[0003] When using centrifuge tubes to conduct experiments on materials, the centrifuge tubes are usually placed inside a centrifuge to separate the materials beforehand. In order to keep the centrifuge tubes stable when they are rotating at high speed, they are usually placed on a matching centrifuge tube rack to achieve vertical positioning of the centrifuge tubes, which can effectively prevent the centrifuge tubes from shifting or tipping over when rotating at high speed.

[0004] However, since the diameter of existing centrifuge tube racks is usually fixed, they can only be used to position centrifuge tubes of a fixed size. When it is necessary to use centrifuge tubes of different sizes for experiments, corresponding centrifuge tube racks must be used. This not only wastes resources, requiring staff to purchase centrifuge tube racks of different sizes, but also prevents the simultaneous use of centrifuge tubes of different sizes for experiments, thus affecting experimental efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a centrifuge tube rack to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of not being able to position centrifuge tubes of different diameters.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this application provides a centrifuge tube rack, including: a tube rack body 1, a placement port 2 provided on the tube rack body 1, and an adjustment component provided on the tube rack body 1. The adjustment component includes a connecting rod 11 provided on the tube rack body 1, a clamp 12 provided on the connecting rod 11, a lead screw 18 provided on the connecting rod 11, and a threaded hole 14 provided on the tube rack body 1. The adjustment component is used to fix centrifuge tubes of different specifications.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly also includes fixed rods 10 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 11. Two sets of T-shaped blocks 19 are evenly arranged on the side of the fixed rod 10 near the pipe rack body 1. A T-shaped groove 8 is provided on the pipe rack body 1 corresponding to the T-shaped blocks 19. The T-shaped blocks 19 are movably arranged in the T-shaped groove 8. Through the cooperation of the T-shaped groove 8 and the T-shaped blocks 19, the movement direction of the connecting rod 11 can be limited.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a slider 15 is provided on the side of the connecting rod 11 near the pipe rack body 1, and a groove 13 is provided on the pipe rack body 1 corresponding to the slider 15. The slider 15 is movably disposed in the groove 13. Through the cooperation of the slider 15 and the groove 13, it is convenient for the staff to control the movement of the connecting rod 11.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, an elastic element 16 is provided between the slider 15 and the groove 13. The elastic force of the elastic element 16 can increase the flexibility of the connecting rod 11.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lead screw 18 is threaded on one side of the connecting rod 11, and the lead screw 18 extends through the slider 15 into the groove 13. A rotating handle 17 is fixedly provided on one side of the lead screw 18. The rotating handle 17 makes it easy for the operator to control the rotation of the lead screw 18.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of threaded holes 14 are evenly arranged inside the slide groove 13. The threaded holes 14 are matched with the lead screw 18. Through the cooperation between the threaded holes 14 and the lead screw 18, the position of the clamp 12 can be fixed.

[0031] The pipe rack body 1 is equipped with a telescopic assembly, which includes a telescopic rod 9 installed on the pipe rack body 1, a threaded sleeve 4 installed on the pipe rack body 1, and a threaded post 5 installed on the threaded sleeve 4. The telescopic assembly is used for adjusting the height of the pipe rack body 1.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic assembly also includes a base 3 mounted on the pipe rack body 1, a threaded sleeve 4 fixedly mounted on the base 3, and a threaded post 5 threaded inside the threaded sleeve 4. The height of the pipe rack body 1 can be adjusted by the cooperation between the threaded post 5 and the threaded sleeve 4.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the threaded column 5, and a connecting plate 6 is rotatably installed on the threaded column 5. The connecting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the pipe rack body 1. The handle 7 allows the staff to easily control the threaded column 5 to rotate stably.

[0034] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to fix centrifuge tubes of different specifications, by pulling the connecting rod 11, the slider 15 slides in the groove 13, thereby driving the clamp 12 to move, so that the lead screw 18 and the corresponding threaded hole 14 are aligned in the vertical direction. Then, the operator rotates the rotating handle 17, so that the lead screw 18 spirals into the threaded hole 14, thereby fixing the clamp 12, which facilitates the positioning of centrifuge tubes of different specifications. When it is necessary to fix centrifuge tubes of different heights, by controlling the spiral rotation of the threaded column 5 in the threaded sleeve 4, the telescopic rod 9 can be compressed or expanded, thereby adjusting the height of the tube rack body 1, and centrifuge tubes of different heights can be placed.

[0035] Specifically, this solution works as follows: When centrifuge tubes of different specifications need to be placed, the operator pulls the connecting rod 11 according to the specifications of the centrifuge tubes, causing the T-block 19 to slide within the T-groove 8. This moves the gripper 12, while the slider 15 moves within the slide groove 13, aligning the lead screw 18 with the threaded hole 14. Then, the operator rotates the handle 17, causing the lead screw 18 to spirally rotate into the threaded hole 14, thus fixing the gripper 12 in position. This allows the device to position centrifuge tubes of different specifications. Secondly, the elastic force of the elastic element 16 improves the flexibility of the slider 15's movement. When centrifuge tubes of different heights need to be positioned, the operator rotates the handle 7, causing the threaded column 5 to spirally rotate within the threaded sleeve 4. This compresses or expands the telescopic rod 9, allowing adjustment of the height of the tube rack body 1, thus enhancing the device's practicality.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary; within the framework of this invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of this invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0037] This utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
