Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reagent storage technology, and more specifically, to a storage device compatible with multi-specification reagent kits. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as biomedicine and laboratory testing, reagents often need to be stored in a constant temperature environment. Existing reagent storage devices typically use a fixed-position design, which can only accommodate reagent kits of a single size. When handling reagents of multiple sizes, frequent changes of storage devices or custom-made special supports are required, resulting in high costs and cumbersome operations. In addition, the fixed structure cannot meet the stability requirements of reagents of different sizes, and containers are prone to tipping over due to vibration or movement.

[0003] Some improved solutions attempt to accommodate reagents of various sizes using adjustable supports, but the adjustment mechanisms are complex and lack reliable limiting and fixing mechanisms, making operation extremely inconvenient, especially in the confined space inside temperature-controlled equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage device that can flexibly adapt to reagent kits of various sizes, providing stable fixation and easy operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem this invention addresses is: how to enable reagent storage devices to adapt to reagents with various specifications.

[0005] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a multi-specification reagent kit compatible storage device, comprising:

[0006] Main body of constant temperature storage equipment;

[0007] At least one reagent support assembly disposed within the main body of the constant temperature storage device;

[0008] The reagent support assembly includes a U-shaped frame, and a plurality of parallel partitions are provided inside the U-shaped frame. Slides are formed between adjacent partitions and between the partitions and the sidewalls of the U-shaped frame.

[0009] A replaceable tray is slidably installed inside the slide. The tray has multiple mounting slots along its length, and an elastic body is fixed to the inner wall of each mounting slot for clamping and fixing reagent containers of different sizes.

[0010] Optionally, the elastomer has a triangular structure, which closes the mounting groove when no reagent container is placed, and adaptively fixes the reagent container by elastic deformation when the reagent container is inserted.

[0011] Optionally, a second magnet is provided inside the U-shaped frame, and the tray is fixed in the slide by magnetic attraction.

[0012] Optionally, the front end of the partition column located in the middle is rotatably connected to a baffle plate via a pivot. The baffle plate can be rotated to a horizontal state to form a closed structure with the U-shaped frame, or rotated to a vertical state to allow the tray to be pulled out.

[0013] Optionally, the end of the baffle is provided with a first magnet. When the baffle is in a horizontal state, the first magnet magnetically engages with the end of the U-shaped frame to keep the baffle fixed in a horizontal state.

[0014] Optionally, a groove is provided on the baffle for the tray to be pulled out.

[0015] Optionally, the reagent support assembly further includes a support tray and a connecting rod;

[0016] The tray is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped frame by a connecting rod, and the tray is provided with multiple positioning grooves for supporting the bottom of the reagent container.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-specification reagent kit compatible storage device, comprising:

[0036] The main body of the constant temperature storage device is 100.

[0037] At least one reagent support assembly 200 is disposed within the main body 100 of the constant temperature storage device;

[0038] The reagent support assembly 200 includes a U-shaped frame 240, and a plurality of parallel partitions 260 are provided inside the U-shaped frame 240. A slide is formed between adjacent partitions 260 and between the partitions 260 and the side wall of the U-shaped frame 240.

[0039] A replaceable tray 250 is slidably installed inside the slide. The tray 250 has multiple mounting slots 251 along its length. An elastic body 252 is fixed to the inner wall of each mounting slot 251 for clamping and fixing reagent containers 300 of different sizes.

[0040] First, select a tray 250 that matches the reagent specifications; push the tray along the slide into the U-shaped frame 240 until it is magnetically secured; insert the reagent container 300 vertically into the mounting slot 251, and the elastomer 252 is compressed and deformed to clamp the container. The triangular structure of the elastomer 252 provides a progressive clamping force to accommodate reagents of different shapes.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastomer 252 has a triangular structure. When the reagent container 300 is not placed, it closes the mounting groove 251. When the reagent container 300 is inserted, the elastic deformation of the elastomer 252 adaptively fixes the reagent container 300.

[0042] When no reagent is inserted, the two sides of the triangular elastomer 252 are in contact, sealing the mounting groove 251. The wedge-shaped structure of the elastomer 252 closes naturally when there is no external force. After the reagent container is inserted, the elastomer 252 bends downward under the action of external force and holds the inserted reagent container with its elasticity. Furthermore, the elastomer 252 can be made of rubber material.

[0043] The U-shaped frame 240 contains a second magnet 253, and the tray 250 is fixed in the slide rail by magnetic attraction. When the tray 250 is pushed into the slide rail to the set position, the metal tray and the second magnet 253 automatically attract each other. The magnetic attraction prevents the tray 250 from sliding out without external force.

[0044] The front end of the partition column 260 in the middle is rotatably connected to the baffle 230 via the pivot 232. The baffle 230 can be rotated to a horizontal state to form a closed structure with the U-shaped frame 240, or rotated to a vertical state to allow the tray 250 to be pulled out.

[0045] The end of the baffle 230 is provided with a first magnet 233. When the baffle 230 is in a horizontal state, the first magnet 233 magnetically engages with the end of the U-shaped frame 240 to keep the baffle 230 fixed in a horizontal state.

[0046] A groove 231 is provided on the baffle 230 for the tray 250 to be pulled out.

[0047] The baffle 230 rotates horizontally, and the first magnet 233 attracts the end of the U-shaped frame 240 to form a front baffle. The baffle 230 is then flipped to a vertical position, and the groove 231 provides a pull-out channel for the tray 250. The horizontal magnetic attraction of the baffle 230 further prevents the tray 250 from detaching from the slide, improving operational safety.

[0048] The reagent support assembly 200 also includes a support tray 210 and a connecting rod 220;

[0049] The tray 210 is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 240 by the connecting rod 220. The tray 210 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 211 for supporting the bottom of the reagent container 300.

[0050] The positioning groove 211 and the mounting groove 251 correspond vertically to define the vertical position of the reagent container 300.

[0051] After the reagent container 300 is inserted into the mounting slot 251, its bottom falls into the corresponding positioning slot 211 of the support tray 210. The positioning slot 211 restricts the displacement of the bottom of the container and forms a double fixation with the elastic body 252 to prevent the reagent container 300 from tipping over.

[0052] The reagent support assembly 200 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the constant temperature storage device body 100 via the slide rail 110 and the slider 120. Specifically, by holding the U-shaped frame 240 or the baffle 230 and pulling it outward, the slider 120 slides out of the device along the slide rail 110 to facilitate the loading and unloading of reagent containers.

[0053] The tray 250 is a replaceable module, and the mounting slots 251 of different trays 250 are adapted to reagent containers 300 of different sizes. Specifically, the baffle 230 is simultaneously made vertical to release the restriction on the tray 250, and the old tray 250 is pulled out and the new size tray is inserted to adapt to reagents of different specifications.

[0054] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
