[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to a test tube box with an adjustable test tube position. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of life science and medical research, from separating plasma and blood cells from blood, extracting nucleic acids and proteins, to purifying components in drug development, many experimental and testing processes rely on efficient and accurate sample separation technology.

[0003] Currently, one type of test tube container in the existing technology is a three-by-four box used to hold test tubes. The three-by-four box is an integral unit. After centrifugation, the liquid in the test tubes needs to be poured out. When pouring out the liquid in the test tubes in the three-by-four box, the liquid poured out of the upper test tube may flow into the lower test tube, causing cross-contamination and interference. This has significant limitations and poor practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing three-by-four test tube boxes, which are typically used for holding test tubes and are integral in shape, often cause liquid to flow from the upper test tubes into the lower test tubes after centrifugation, resulting in cross-contamination and interference. This invention has significant limitations and poor practicality. Therefore, this invention proposes a test tube box with adjustable test tube positions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a test tube box with reversible test tube position, comprising a centrifuge, a controller installed at the front end of the centrifuge, a centrifugation chamber opened at the top of the centrifuge, four storage boxes provided in the centrifugation chamber, three box bodies inserted into the storage boxes, the three box bodies being rotatably connected by two hinges respectively, four test tube slots opened at the top of the box bodies, a test tube body inserted into each test tube slot, and a rubber block installed on the inner wall of each test tube slot.

[0006] Preferably, the centrifuge is equipped with a top cover at the top and anti-slip supports at the four corners of the bottom.

[0007] Preferably, a base is installed on the inner bottom wall of the centrifuge chamber, a connecting column is fixed to the top of the base, and four supports are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the connecting column, with the four storage boxes respectively located between every two supports.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the storage box are fixed with support columns, and the opposite ends of the two support columns are respectively fixed to two brackets.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the storage box has a second inner cavity that matches the main body of the box, and the inner wall of the second inner cavity has a first inner cavity that matches the hinge.

[0010] Preferably, the storage box has openings on both sides of its top.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the traditional 3x4 box is replaced with three identical box bodies capable of holding four test tubes each. These three identical box bodies are connected by two hinges, allowing them to rotate when removed, aligning them in a straight line and placing all test tubes on the same plane. This prevents liquid from flowing from the upper part into the lower test tubes when pouring, enhancing practicality. Furthermore, each of the three box bodies has four test tube slots, maintaining the traditional storage space. Even when the three box bodies are placed side-by-side, they still form a 3x4 box, further improving usability. Additionally, the device incorporates rubber blocks in each test tube slot. When a test tube is placed inside, the rubber blocks deform, compressing the test tube and increasing friction between the test tube and the slot, preventing the test tube from detaching during pouring and enhancing stability.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a test tube box with an adjustable test tube position, including a centrifuge 1, a controller 2 installed at the front end of the centrifuge 1, a centrifugation chamber 5 opened at the top of the centrifuge 1, four storage boxes 9 are provided in the centrifugation chamber 5, three box bodies 11 are inserted into the storage boxes 9, the three box bodies 11 are rotatably connected by two hinges 12 respectively, four test tube slots 14 are opened at the top of the box body 11, a test tube body 15 is inserted into each test tube slot 14, and a rubber block 13 is installed on the inner wall of each test tube slot 14.

[0021] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: A test tube containing liquid 15 is placed into the box body 11, and then the box body 11 is placed into the storage box 9. The base 6 is connected to the output end of the centrifuge 1. The centrifuge 1 is controlled by the controller 2, which rotates the base 6, thereby rotating the four storage boxes 9 and centrifuging the test tubes 15 inside the box body 11. This device changes the traditional three-by-four box to three identical box bodies 11 capable of holding four test tubes 15. The three identical box bodies 11 are connected by two hinges 12, allowing them to rotate when removed, thus enabling the three box bodies 11 to function as a single unit. A straight line ensures all test tube bodies 15 are on the same plane, preventing liquid from flowing from the upper side into the lower test tube body 15 when pouring liquid, thus enhancing practicality. Furthermore, each of the three box bodies 11 has four test tube slots 14, maintaining the traditional storage space of the box body 11. Even when the three box bodies 11 are arranged side-by-side, they still form a three-by-four box, further improving practicality. Additionally, the device incorporates a rubber block 13 in each test tube slot 14. When a test tube body 15 is placed inside, the rubber block 13 deforms, compressing the test tube body 15 and increasing friction between it and the slot 14, preventing the test tube body 15 from detaching during pouring and enhancing stability.

[0022] Example 2, as Figure 1-4As shown, a top cover 3 is installed on the top of the centrifuge 1, and anti-slip support pillars 4 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the centrifuge 1. A base 6 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the centrifuge chamber 5. A connecting column 7 is fixed on the top of the base 6. Four supports 8 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the connecting column 7. Four storage boxes 9 are respectively located between every two supports 8. Support columns 10 are fixed at both ends of the storage boxes 9. The opposite ends of the two support columns 10 are respectively fixed to the two supports 8. A second inner cavity 18 matching the main body 11 is opened at the top of the storage box 9. A first inner cavity 17 matching the hinge 12 is opened on the inner wall of the second inner cavity 18. Openings 16 are opened on both sides of the top of the storage box 9.

[0023] The overall effect of embodiment 2 is that, through the setting of the anti-slip support 4, the centrifuge 1 can be placed stably on the table, reducing the phenomenon of sliding and moving. When the base 6 rotates, it will drive the connecting column 7 to rotate, thereby driving the four supports 8 to rotate, so that the storage box 9 installed between the four supports 8 can be centrifuged. The opening 16 makes it easy to take out the main body 11 of the box. In addition, the second inner cavity 18 and the test tube tank 14 of this device are relatively deep, so there will be no centrifugal detachment during centrifugation.

[0024] Working principle: When using this device, the test tube body 15 containing liquid is placed into the box body 11, and then the box body 11 is placed into the storage box 9. The base 6 is connected to the output end of the centrifuge 1. The centrifuge 1 is controlled by the controller 2 to rotate, thereby rotating the four storage boxes 9 and centrifuging the test tube bodies 15 inside the box body 11. This device changes the traditional three-by-four box body to three identical box bodies 11 that can hold four test tube bodies 15. The three identical box bodies 11 are connected by two hinges 12, so that when the three identical box bodies 11 are removed, they can rotate through the two hinges 12, allowing the three box bodies 11 to form a single unit. The device features a straight line, ensuring all test tube bodies 15 are on the same plane. This prevents liquid from flowing from the upper body into the lower body when pouring liquid, enhancing its practicality. Furthermore, each of the three main bodies 11 has four test tube slots 14, maintaining the traditional storage space of the main body 11. Even when the three main bodies 11 are arranged side-by-side, they still form a three-by-four box, further improving practicality. Additionally, the device incorporates a rubber block 13 in each test tube slot 14. When a test tube body 15 is placed inside, the rubber block 13 deforms, applying pressure to the test tube body 15 and increasing friction between the test tube body 15 and the test tube slot 14. This prevents the test tube body 15 from detaching from the slot during pouring, enhancing stability.

[0025] The wiring diagrams of the centrifuge 1, controller 2, and base 6 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field, and their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the centrifuge 1, controller 2, and base 6 will not be explained in detail.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
