Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inoculation ring cooling technology, and in particular to an inoculation ring cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Metal inoculation loops are generally for multiple uses. Before use, the metal ring part of the inoculation loop needs to be placed in an infrared sterilizer and heated to a certain temperature, about 900 degrees Celsius, to achieve sterilization. Then, it can be used after cooling to a certain temperature. During cooling, the inoculation loop is usually placed on a rack to cool naturally, which takes about 5 minutes. The time required is relatively long, and often 5 or more inoculation loops are needed to match the technician's inoculation speed. When multiple inoculation loops are used at the same time, it is impossible to determine which inoculation loop on the rack has cooled to the appropriate temperature, resulting in confusion and affecting inoculation efficiency. In order to address the above-mentioned defects, this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inoculation ring cooling device that can rapidly cool the inoculation ring and solve the current problem of not being able to determine which inoculation ring has cooled to a suitable temperature, thereby improving inoculation efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an inoculation loop cooling device, comprising a support frame, a temperature detection component, a cooling component, clamps, and an indicator module. Several sets of clamps are arranged in a horizontal array, allowing the inoculation loop to be held in place. The cooling component includes a fan and a distribution rod, with distribution holes connected to the fan on the distribution rod. The air outlet direction of the distribution holes is along the length of the inoculation loop. The temperature detection component detects the temperature of the inoculation loop and is electrically connected to the indicator module. The indicator module has an indicating state; when the temperature detection component detects that the temperature of the inoculation loop is lower than a set value, the indicator module switches to the indicating state.

[0005] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support frame includes a base, a height frame, and a cooling frame. The temperature detection component, cooling component, clamp, and indicator module are all mounted on the cooling frame, and the cooling frame can be adjusted in height on the height frame.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cooling rack is inclined, and the inoculation ring is in an inclined state when it is installed on the clamp.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the indicating module includes an indicator light, which is mounted on a fixture.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the indicating module includes a telescopic component, the telescopic component is connected to the indicating translation drive component, the cooling rack is provided with a shaft, and the clamp is mounted on the shaft via a rotating sleeve.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamp includes a clamping cavity, the interior of which gradually narrows.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature detection component includes an infrared thermometer.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the infrared thermometer is mounted on a temperature measurement translation drive assembly, which is used to drive the infrared thermometer to move and perform temperature detection on different inoculation rings.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air distribution hole includes a plurality of holes, with at least one hole provided at each clamp position.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air distribution hole includes an elongated hole that extends along the array direction of the clamp.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that, by setting air distribution holes along the length of the inoculation ring, the air can cover most of the end of the inoculation ring, thus improving cooling efficiency. In addition, a temperature detection component is set to detect the temperature of the inoculation ring. When the temperature detection component detects that the temperature of the inoculation ring is lower than the set value, the indicator module switches to the indicator state, so that the operator can easily know whether the inoculation ring has been cooled down, thus helping to improve the inoculation efficiency.

[0022] The following description is only intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The embodiments in the following description are merely examples, and those skilled in the art will conceive of other obvious modifications. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Inoculation loop cooling device, such as Figure 1 It includes a support frame, a temperature detection component, a cooling component, a clamp 32, and an indicator module.

[0025] The support frame includes a base 1, a height frame 2, and a cooling frame 3. The height frame 2 is mounted on the base 1. The temperature detection component, cooling component, clamp 32, and indicator module are all mounted on the cooling frame 3. The two ends of the cooling frame 3 are mounted on the height frame 2 by bolts or snap-fit. The height of the cooling frame 3 can be adjusted on the height frame 2 to a height suitable for the operator's height.

[0026] Preferably, such as Figure 1 The cooling rack 3 is tilted, and the inoculation ring is tilted when it is installed on the clamp 32, which facilitates the installation and removal of the inoculation ring 4. The cooling rack 3 is also equipped with a crossbar to support the handle of the inoculation ring 4.

[0027] The clamps 32 are mounted on the cooling rack 3. Several sets of clamps 32 are arranged in a horizontal array, typically 5 to 8 sets. The inoculation loop can be clamped on the clamps 32. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The clamp 32 includes a clamping cavity 321, the interior of which gradually narrows. The narrowed part can be made of rubber and clamping is achieved through an interference fit with the handle of the inoculation ring 4.

[0028] Other embodiments are not limited to the above-described clamping structure and any clamping device capable of achieving the clamping effect can be used.

[0029] The cooling assembly includes a fan 34 and a wind distribution rod 33. The wind distribution rod 33 is mounted on the cooling rack 3 and is arranged horizontally. There are two ways to set the wind distribution holes 36: one wind distribution hole 36 includes several holes, with at least one hole set at each position of the clamp 32; the other wind distribution hole 36 includes an elongated hole that extends along the array direction of the clamp 32, i.e., the length direction of the wind distribution rod 33.

[0030] Fan 34 is mounted on cooling rack 3 and connected to air distribution hole 36 through internal channels of the rack or through pipes. Figure 1As shown by the middle arrow, the air outlet 36 is directed along the length of the inoculation ring, which can cover most of the end of the inoculation ring 4, thus improving cooling efficiency.

[0031] The temperature detection component is used to detect the temperature of the inoculation loop. The temperature detection component is electrically connected to the indicator module, which has an indicating state. After the inoculation loop is sterilized by heating, it is installed on the fixture for cooling. When the temperature detection component detects that the temperature of the inoculation loop is lower than the set value, which is generally below 25 degrees Celsius, the indicator module switches to the indicating state. The coordinated control between the temperature detection component and the indicator module can be realized by a PLC programmable controller.

[0032] In this embodiment, the indicator module includes an indicator light 37, which is installed on the fixture 32. Each fixture is equipped with an indicator light 37. When the temperature detection component detects that the temperature of the inoculation loop is lower than the set value, the indicator light 37 is lit up or changes color to achieve the indication effect.

[0033] The temperature detection component can use temperature measurement methods such as fiber optic temperature measurement and infrared thermometer.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] Based on Example 1, this example uses an infrared thermometer 5. Optionally, a set of infrared thermometers 5 can be set for each fixture position, or only one set of infrared thermometers 5 can be set, and the effect of switching the temperature measurement can be achieved by moving them.

[0036] Preferably, the infrared thermometer 5 is mounted on the temperature measurement translation drive assembly 31, which is used to drive the infrared thermometer 5 to move and detect the temperature of different inoculation rings. The temperature measurement translation drive assembly 31 can be a lead screw translation module, driven by a motor 35.

[0037] Temperature measurement is intermittent; it can be set to measure temperature every 2 minutes.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] Unlike in Embodiment 1 or 2, in this embodiment, as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 The cooling rack 3 is equipped with a shaft 73, and the clamp 32 is mounted on the shaft 73 via a rotating sleeve 74. The indicating module includes a telescopic component 72, such as an electric push rod. The telescopic component 72 is connected to the indicating translation drive component. When the temperature detection component detects that the temperature of the inoculation ring is lower than the set value, the indicating module switches to the indicating state. In this embodiment, the indicating state is as follows: the electric push rod moves to the corresponding inoculation ring 4, extends and lifts or quickly pops up the inoculation ring 4, causing the rotating sleeve 74 to rotate on the shaft 73 to the placement area 8 on the other side. After rotation, the inoculation ring is in a vertical state or a tilted state at a certain angle, such as... Figure 5As shown, the cooled inoculation loop is rotated to placement area 8.

[0040] Optionally, the indicating translation drive assembly is a lead screw translation module, and the telescopic assembly 72 is installed on a separate lead screw translation module to achieve translation; another option is that the indicating translation drive assembly is a guide rail 71 and a connecting rod 74, and the telescopic assembly 72 is installed on the slider of the guide rail 71. The slider is connected to the translation component of the temperature measuring translation drive assembly 31 in embodiment 2 through the connecting rod 74 to achieve transmission, so that the telescopic assembly 72 and the infrared thermometer 5 translate synchronously.

[0041] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations and modifications.
