Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample transfer technology, specifically a laboratory test sample transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] Laboratory test samples refer to samples collected in a laboratory environment that are tested and analyzed using a series of scientific methods and techniques to obtain relevant information about the samples, such as their composition, properties, and content. Laboratory test sample transport devices are equipment used to safely and stably transport collected samples from the collection site to the laboratory for testing.

[0003] Common laboratory sample transport devices include a housing, a chuck, and a cover. Sample tubes are stored by inserting them into the chuck's internal holes and then sealed with the cover for transport. However, this method, where the tubes are directly inserted into the chuck, allows vibrations during transport, causing direct impact and potentially leading to sample shaking or tilting. This increases the risk of sample damage and fails to meet the requirements of sample transport. Therefore, a new laboratory sample transport device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a laboratory test sample transport device to solve the technical problem that, since the test tube is directly inserted into the test tube, vibration will occur during transport, causing the impact force to directly impact the test tube, which can easily cause the sample to shake or tilt.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a laboratory test sample transfer device, comprising:

[0006] The transfer box has a cover plate hinged to its top, and buckles are installed on the left and right sides of the front part of the transfer box and the cover plate. An assembly rod is connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the transfer box.

[0007] Mounting rings are installed on the left and right sides inside the assembly rod. A transmission ring is inserted inside the mounting ring. A transmission component is circumferentially mounted on the top of the mounting ring via a rotating shaft. The inner sides of the transmission component are connected to the corresponding positions on the top of the transmission ring via bearings.

[0008] A rubber straightening block is installed on the top inner side of the transmission component. The front part of the mounting ring has a first through groove, and the left side of the mounting ring has a second through groove. A push rod is inserted into the first through groove, and the inner end of the push rod is connected to the corresponding position of the transmission ring.

[0009] The mounting shaft is inserted into the left side of the second through slot. A first spring is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft. A connecting rod is installed on the outside of the transmission ring at a position corresponding to the second through slot. The right end of the first spring is connected to the outside of the connecting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the number of transmission components and rubber straightening blocks is 3-6 sets. The rubber straightening blocks are cylindrical, and the diameter of the rubber straightening blocks is one-third of that of the transmission ring, which facilitates the clamping of the sample tubes.

[0011] Preferably, a shaft post is connected to the outer right side of the mounting ring, and the lengths of the first and second through grooves are both one-sixth of the circumference of the mounting ring. The added shaft post facilitates the use of leverage.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the inner cavity of the transfer box is equipped with a mounting cylinder at a position corresponding to the mounting ring, and the diameter of the mounting cylinder is larger than the diameter of the mounting ring.

[0013] Preferably, a crossbar is inserted circumferentially on both the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the mounting cylinder, and an arc-shaped clamp is connected to the inner end of each crossbar. A second spring is sleeved on the outside of each crossbar between the mounting cylinder and the arc-shaped clamp. With the addition of the arc-shaped clamp and the second spring, the arc-shaped clamp can be squeezed and inserted into the sample tube after it is inserted, which can clamp the bottom of the sample tube and reduce the impact force during transportation.

[0014] Preferably, the left and right ends of the second spring are connected to the corresponding positions of the mounting cylinder and the arc-shaped clamp, respectively. The top inner side of the arc-shaped clamp is rounded to facilitate the insertion of the test tube by squeezing.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a laboratory test sample transport device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This laboratory sample transport device uses a push rod to move a transmission ring, which in turn drives the opening and closing of a rubber straightening block via a first spring and transmission components. This allows the rubber straightening block to clamp the test tube after insertion, providing a stable clamping force and ensuring that the test tube is not subjected to significant direct impact during transport, thereby reducing the risk of sample damage. Furthermore, its elastic opening and closing characteristics allow it to adapt to test tubes of different diameters without additional adjustments, improving the device's versatility.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: a laboratory test sample transfer device, comprising a transfer box 1, a cover plate 2, a buckle 3, an assembly rod 4, a mounting ring 5, a mounting cylinder 6, a transmission ring 7, a transmission component 8, a rubber straightening block 9, a first through groove 10, a second through groove 11, a shaft column 12, a push rod 13, a mounting shaft 14, a connecting rod 15, a first spring 16, a crossbar 17, an arc-shaped clamping plate 18, and a second spring 19.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The top of the transfer box 1 is hinged to a cover plate 2. Both the front left and right sides of the transfer box 1 and the cover plate 2 are equipped with latches 3. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 An assembly rod 4 is connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the transfer box 1;

[0027] Mounting ring 5 is installed on the left and right sides inside the assembly rod 4. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 A transmission ring 7 is inserted inside the mounting ring 5. A transmission component 8 is circumferentially mounted on the top of the mounting ring 5 via a rotating shaft. The inner sides of the transmission component 8 are connected to the corresponding positions on the top of the transmission ring 7 via bearings.

[0028] A rubber straightening block 9 is installed on the top inner side of the transmission component 8. A first through groove 10 is opened at the front of the mounting ring 5, and a second through groove 11 is opened on the left side of the mounting ring 5. A push rod 13 is inserted inside the first through groove 10, and the inner end of the push rod 13 is connected to the corresponding position of the transmission ring 7.

[0029] Please see Figure 6 The mounting shaft 14 is inserted into the left side of the second through slot 11. (See attached image.) Figure 4 A first spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 14. A connecting rod 15 is installed on the outside of the transmission ring 7 at a position corresponding to the second through groove 11. The right end of the first spring 16 is connected to the outside of the connecting rod 15. There are 3-6 sets of transmission components 8 and rubber straightening blocks 9. The rubber straightening blocks 9 are cylindrical and their diameter is one-third of that of the transmission ring 7. A shaft post 12 is connected to the right side of the outside of the mounting ring 5. The length of the first through groove 10 and the second through groove 11 is one-sixth of the circumference of the mounting ring 5. By moving the push rod 13, the transmission ring 7 is driven to move, which in turn drives the opening and closing of the rubber straightening blocks 9 through the first spring 16 and the transmission components 8. This allows the rubber straightening blocks 9 to limit and clamp the test tube after it is inserted, providing a stable clamping force and ensuring that the test tube is not subjected to a large direct impact during transportation, thereby reducing the risk of sample damage. Furthermore, the elastic opening and closing characteristics allow it to adapt to test tubes of different diameters without additional adjustment, improving the versatility of the device.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 The bottom of the inner cavity of the transfer box 1 is equipped with mounting cylinders 6 at positions corresponding to the mounting rings 5. The diameter of each mounting cylinder 6 is larger than the diameter of the mounting rings 5. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 A crossbar 17 is inserted circumferentially on both the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the mounting cylinder 6. The inner end of the crossbar 17 is connected to an arc-shaped clamping plate 18. A second spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 17 between the mounting cylinder 6 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 18. The left and right ends of the second spring 19 are connected to the corresponding positions of the mounting cylinder 6 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 18, respectively. The inner top of the arc-shaped clamping plate 18 is rounded.

[0031] This design uses a push rod 13 to move the transmission ring 7, which in turn drives the opening and closing of the rubber straightening block 9 via the first spring 16 and the transmission component 8. This allows the rubber straightening block 9 to limit and clamp the test tube after insertion, providing a stable clamping force and ensuring that the test tube is not subjected to significant direct impact during transport, thereby reducing the risk of sample damage. Furthermore, its elastic opening and closing characteristics allow it to adapt to test tubes of different diameters without additional adjustments, improving the versatility of the device.
