Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of antimicrobial peptide production and processing technology, and specifically relates to an antimicrobial peptide separation and purification device. Background Technology
[0002] Antimicrobial peptide separation and purification devices are used to extract and purify peptides with antimicrobial activity from complex biological systems. Common devices include centrifuges, ultrafiltration units, and chromatography units. Centrifuges achieve solid-liquid separation through centrifugal force, removing impurities such as cell debris; ultrafiltration units utilize ultrafiltration membranes to retain target antimicrobial peptides according to molecular size, while removing small molecule impurities and concentrating the sample; chromatography units such as ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, and affinity chromatography achieve fine separation based on charge difference, molecular size, and specific affinity, respectively.
[0003] Currently available centrifuges for the separation and purification of antimicrobial peptides require manual insertion of the arm into the centrifuge to load and unload test tubes. This necessitates bending or stooping close to the equipment, which is particularly problematic when the centrifuge is large or positioned low, limiting the operator's posture and leading to fatigue. Furthermore, the temperature inside the centrifuge rises after operation and remains residual heat for a short time after shutdown, increasing the risk of burns from manual insertion. Additionally, since antimicrobial peptide samples originate from biological materials containing pathogens, such as bacterial lysates, manual insertion can cause biocontamination if the test tubes are not properly sealed or leak. This increases the risk of infection for laboratory personnel, especially in environments without biosafety cabinets. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an antimicrobial peptide separation and purification device to solve the problem that when experimental personnel manually reach into the centrifuge to load and unload test tubes, they need to bend over or lean close to the equipment. This is especially true when the centrifuge is large or placed in a low position, which restricts the operating posture and easily leads to limb fatigue. Moreover, when the centrifuge is running, the temperature of the chamber will rise, and residual heat will remain for a short time after the machine is stopped, which can easily cause burns when manually reaching in to remove the tubes.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An antimicrobial peptide separation and purification device includes a separation and purification tank, fixed seats symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the separation and purification tank, a lifting component installed between the fixed seats, a top cover installed on the top of the separation and purification tank via the lifting component, a rotating column rotatably connected to the bottom of the top cover, a centrifuge plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, placement holes symmetrically opened on the top of the centrifuge plate, and a connecting column rotatably connected to the bottom of the interior of the separation and purification tank.
[0007] The lifting assembly includes a second drive motor, a lead screw, a guide rod, a lifting seat, a connecting rod, and an assembly seat. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the fixed seats, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to each other. The second drive motor is installed at the bottom of the fixed seats, and its output end is fixedly connected to the lead screw. Lifting seats are fitted onto the outer sides of both the lead screw and the guide rod. Connecting rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the lifting seats. The other end of the connecting rod extends out of the top of the fixed seats and is fixedly connected to the assembly seat. The bottom of the assembly seat is fixedly connected to the top cover. The lead screw and the lifting seat are threaded together, while the guide rod and the lifting seat are slidably connected. This eliminates the need for manual bending and reaching into the centrifuge for installation and removal, avoiding the tedious steps of repeatedly picking up and adjusting test tubes in traditional manual operation. This significantly improves overall purification efficiency and prevents burns caused by residual heat inside the centrifuge, as well as mechanical injuries caused by the arm being caught in rotating parts when the centrifuge has not completely stopped operating.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the outer wall of the separation and purification tank is symmetrically provided with guide grooves, and a guide block is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the lifting seat. The guide block and the guide groove are slidably connected. The sliding cooperation between the guide block and the guide groove provides a clear motion trajectory for the up and down movement of the lifting seat, effectively avoiding shaking, deviation or tilting during the lifting process.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column, and the other end of the connecting shaft extends out of the bottom of the separation and purification tank. A first drive motor is installed at the bottom of the separation and purification tank. A drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the output shaft of the first drive motor, and a driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft. The drive gear and the driven gear mesh with each other, which can ensure a constant rotation speed and avoid unstable centrifugal force due to power fluctuations. This allows the antimicrobial peptide sample to be uniformly stressed during separation and purification, and impurities and antimicrobial peptides to be fully separated, effectively improving the separation and purification effect and efficiency.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a slot is provided at the bottom of the rotating column, and the connecting column is inserted into the slot. A cross groove is provided at the bottom of the slot. A cross block is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting column, and the cross block is inserted into the cross groove. A first limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column, and a second limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting column. A limiting rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the first limiting ring, and a limiting hole is symmetrically opened at the top of the second limiting ring. The limiting rod and the limiting hole are slidably connected, which can form a multiple limiting and fixing mechanism, enhance the connection strength and reliability between the connecting column and the rotating column, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the centrifugation process.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the separation and purification vessel, and support legs are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring. Anti-slip pads are glued to the bottom of the support legs. The anti-slip pads are made of soft rubber and have anti-slip textures on their surface, which greatly increases the friction between the bottom of the device and the surface on which it is placed. Even on a wet or smooth laboratory table, or when there is slight vibration due to centrifugation, the device can be effectively prevented from sliding, avoiding safety accidents such as collisions and tipping caused by device displacement, ensuring the safety of experimental personnel and equipment, and also preventing sample spillage and contamination caused by sliding.
[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0013] First, in this utility model, the test tube is inserted into the placement hole of the centrifuge plate, the second drive motor is started, and the lead screw is controlled to rotate. The lead screw and the lifting seat are threadedly driven, thereby controlling the lifting seat to drive the connecting rod to descend. The connecting rod drives the top cover to descend through the mounting seat. The top cover drives the rotating column, the centrifuge plate and the test tube to descend into the separation and purification tank. At the same time, the connecting column is inserted into the slot at the top of the rotating column and the cross block is inserted into the cross groove. There is no need for manual bending over to put hands into the centrifuge for installation and removal. This avoids the tedious steps of repeatedly taking out and adjusting test tubes in traditional manual operation, significantly improves the overall purification efficiency, and eliminates burns caused by residual heat inside the centrifuge, as well as mechanical injuries caused by the arm being caught in the rotating parts when the centrifuge has not completely stopped running.
[0014] Secondly, in this utility model, when the top cover drives the rotating column, centrifuge disc, and test tubes to descend into the separation and purification tank, and the connecting column is inserted into the slot at the top of the rotating column, and the cross block is inserted into the cross groove, the first drive motor is started, controlling the drive gear to drive the driven gear to rotate, thereby causing the connecting shaft to drive the connecting column to rotate. Because of the presence of the cross block, cross groove, limiting rod, and limiting hole, the connecting column drives the rotating column to rotate, which can keep the test tube rotating at a uniform speed, avoiding centrifugal force fluctuations caused by unstable transmission, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the antimicrobial peptide separation and purification effect, allowing impurities and antimicrobial peptides to be separated more fully and stably, and forming multiple limiting and fixing mechanisms, enhancing the connection strength and reliability between the connecting column and the rotating column, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the centrifugation process.
