Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vortex mixer gasket technology, and in particular to a two-in-one flat plate gasket for vortex mixers. Background Technology
[0002] A vortex mixer (also known as a vortex homogenizer or vortex blender) is a commonly used laboratory device, primarily used for mixing and homogenizing liquid samples. It achieves this by rotating a container and a rotor. A typical vortex mixer consists of three parts: a motor, a rotor, and a container. The rotor is the rotating component, and the container holds the sample. The motor is usually a DC motor, which transmits mechanical energy to the rotating shaft, causing the sample inside the container to be shaken and mixed evenly.
[0003] The top of a vortex mixer is usually equipped with a support standard. Inside the support standard, there is a matching container gasket to increase the friction between the sample container and the support standard. This makes it easier for the operator to gently press the sample container onto the container gasket for subsequent shaking and mixing. The container gasket can effectively prevent relative slippage between the sample container and the support standard, which could lead to separation. The sample container is usually a round-bottom flask or a test tube, and different containers are selected according to different needs.
[0004] Existing vortex mixers offer various types and sizes of support standards and container gaskets, requiring replacement based on the sample container type. For example, when using test tubes, matching test tube support standards and gaskets are needed. These gaskets typically have a central groove that matches the bottom shape of the test tube. Conversely, when using beakers, matching beaker support standards and gaskets are required. These gaskets are usually circular flat gaskets with multiple anti-slip protrusions on the top to ensure sufficient contact surface and friction between the gasket and the beaker bottom. Therefore, mixing sample solutions in test tubes and beakers often necessitates changing the support standards and gaskets according to the container type, making the vortex mixer inconvenient, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Thus, a two-in-one flat gasket for vortex mixers is urgently needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a two-in-one flat plate gasket for a vortex mixer. By incorporating a container gasket, and during operation, a test tube groove is formed at the center of the top of the container gasket, and multiple anti-slip protrusions are provided around the test tube groove on the top of the container gasket. Therefore, the operating mode can be matched according to the actual sample container type, allowing for shaking and mixing of test tube or beaker containers respectively. This enables the device to be used universally for both test tube and beaker containers without the need to replace the support standard and container gasket, effectively improving the applicability of the device. It also eliminates the need for frequent manual replacement of the support standard and container gasket, saving time and effort, and greatly improving work convenience and efficiency. In summary, this invention solves the problems in the prior art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model discloses a two-in-one flat plate gasket for a vortex mixer, including a container gasket, which is installed on the bearing standard of the mixer body and is snapped into the snap-fit groove on the surface of the bearing standard.
[0008] The container gasket has a test tube groove at the top center, which is a concave hemispherical groove. The top of the container gasket has multiple anti-slip protrusions around the test tube groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner circumference of the bearing standard component is provided with multiple through holes near its inner bottom surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner circumference of the bearing standard component is provided with multiple inner buckles near its top, and the top opening edge of the bearing standard component is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves. The multiple inner buckles are arranged in a ring array, and the multiple arc-shaped grooves are also arranged in a ring array.
[0011] Furthermore, the container gasket has multiple snap-fit grooves at the top of its four sides, and each of the multiple snap-fit grooves is matched and engaged with a multiple of the inner snap-fit blocks.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer circumference of the container pad is integrally formed with multiple lifting blocks, which are respectively located at the top of multiple arc-shaped grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, the multiple anti-slip protrusions are arranged in a ring array, and both the container pad and the anti-slip protrusions are made of rubber material.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the container gasket is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs, which are arranged in a ring array.
[0015] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0016] 1. This technical solution incorporates a container gasket. During operation, the top center of the container gasket has a test tube groove, and the top of the gasket has multiple anti-slip protrusions around the test tube groove. Therefore, it can be matched to the actual sample container type, allowing for shaking and mixing of the test tube or beaker container. This makes the device universally applicable to both test tube and beaker containers without the need to replace the bearing standard and container gasket, effectively improving the applicability of the device. It also eliminates the need for frequent manual replacement of the bearing standard and container gasket, saving time and effort, greatly improving work convenience and efficiency, and demonstrating high practicality.
[0017] 2. This technical solution incorporates a container gasket. After the solution mixing process is complete, the container gasket is snap-fit installed and fixed, allowing it to be removed for easy cleaning and disinfection.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "surface", "side", "gap", "peripheral", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 A two-in-one flat plate gasket for a vortex mixer includes a container gasket 4, which is mounted on a bearing standard 2 of the mixer body 1 and is snapped into a snap-fit groove 3 on the surface of the bearing standard 2.
[0026] A test tube groove 5 is provided at the center of the top of the container gasket 4. The test tube groove 5 is a concave hemispherical groove. Multiple anti-slip protrusions 6 are provided around the test tube groove 5 on the top of the container gasket 4.
[0027] Multiple through holes 7 are provided on the inner circumference of the bearing standard part 2 near its inner bottom surface; multiple inner buckles 8 are provided on the inner circumference of the bearing standard part 2 near its top; multiple arc-shaped grooves 9 are provided on the top opening edge of the bearing standard part 2; the multiple inner buckles 8 are arranged in a ring array; and the multiple arc-shaped grooves 9 are also arranged in a ring array.
[0028] The container gasket 4 has multiple snap-fit grooves 10 at the top of its four sides, which are matched and engaged with multiple inner snap-fit blocks 8 respectively; the outer circumference of the container gasket 4 is integrally formed with multiple lifting blocks 11, which are located at the top of multiple arc-shaped grooves 9 respectively; multiple anti-slip protrusions 6 are arranged in a ring array, and both the container gasket 4 and the anti-slip protrusions 6 are made of rubber material; the bottom of the container gasket 4 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 12, which are arranged in a ring array.
[0029] In the specific implementation process, during operation, because the container gasket 4 has a test tube groove 5 at the top center and multiple anti-slip protrusions 6 around the test tube groove 5, the working method can be matched according to the actual sample container type. For example, if the sample container is a test tube, the bottom of the test tube can be placed into the test tube groove 5 at the top center of the container gasket 4, and the operator can gently press the top of the test tube to ensure that the bottom of the test tube is in the test tube groove 5. Then, the mixer body 1 can be started by controlling the knob. The mixer body 1 drives the carrying standard 2 to shake, thereby shaking the test tube to shake and mix the solution inside the test tube. If the sample container is a beaker, then... The beaker is placed directly on top of the container pad 4, and the operator gently presses the top of the beaker with their hand to ensure that the bottom of the beaker is in contact with the multiple anti-slip protrusions 6. At this time, the mixer body 1 can be started by controlling the knob. The mixer body 1 drives the carrier standard 2 to shake, thereby shaking the beaker and mixing the solution inside the beaker. In summary, when mixing the solution inside the test tube or beaker using the mixer body 1, there is no need to replace the carrier standard 2 and the container pad 4. It can be used for both test tube and beaker containers, effectively improving the applicability of the device. It eliminates the need for frequent manual replacement of the carrier standard 2 and the container pad 4, saving time and effort and greatly improving work convenience and efficiency.
[0030] Among them, multiple through holes 7 are provided on the inner circumference of the bearing standard 2 near its inner bottom surface. This is to facilitate the discharge of air inside the bearing standard 2 when installing the container gasket 4, so as to facilitate the installation of the container gasket 4. The through holes 7 can also be used to discharge any solution that accidentally drips into the bearing standard 2.
[0031] Among them, the inner buckle block 8 is used to limit the container gasket 4 when it is clamped, so as to prevent it from easily falling off and separating from the bearing standard part 2. The arc-shaped groove 9 is to provide multiple disassembly operation spaces for the staff when disassembling the container gasket 4. The multiple inner buckle blocks 8 are arranged in a ring array to provide a more uniform limit treatment for the container gasket 4. The multiple arc-shaped grooves 9 are also arranged in a ring array to facilitate the staff to lift and disassemble the container gasket 4 at multiple points.
[0032] The front of the mixer body 1 is provided with a control knob for the mixer body 1 to operate.
[0033] The container gasket 4 has multiple snap-fit grooves 10 on its top and around its perimeter. These multiple snap-fit grooves 10 are matched and engaged with multiple inner snap-fit blocks 8 to improve the snap-fit and fixation effect of the container gasket 4 and to improve the stability of the container gasket 4 after it is snapped in. The multiple lifting blocks 11 are used to further facilitate the disassembly of the container gasket 4 by the staff.
[0034] The multiple anti-slip protrusions 6 are arranged in a ring array to provide uniform support and friction for the bottom of the beaker container. The container gasket 4 and the anti-slip protrusions 6 are made of rubber to ensure that the container gasket 4 and the anti-slip protrusions 6 have a high coefficient of friction and elastic deformation performance.
[0035] The bottom of the container gasket 4 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 12. The multiple reinforcing ribs 12 are arranged in a ring array to ensure that the container gasket 4 has good support stability and to prevent the container gasket 4 from deforming too easily and reducing the contact friction between it and the sample container.
[0036] After the solution mixing is completed, the container gasket 4 can be removed because it is fixed by a snap-fit installation. This allows for easy cleaning and disinfection. After cleaning and disinfection, the container gasket 4 can be dried and then reinstalled. This prevents accidental drips of solution onto the container gasket 4 from adversely affecting the next operation, further improving its ease of use and practicality.
