Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reagent kit technology, and in particular to a reagent kit suitable for use in analytical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In modern analytical equipment, reagent kits are crucial components, and their design significantly impacts the efficiency of reagent storage, transportation, and use. However, current reagent kit designs have some significant shortcomings.

[0003] First, existing reagent kits suffer from stability issues related to their connection structure. The upper and lower boxes are typically connected using simple snap-fit ​​or threaded connections, which can easily loosen or even detach during frequent opening and closing operations or equipment vibrations. This can not only cause the reagent containers inside the kit to shake or collide, but also lead to reagent contamination or container damage, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the analytical results.

[0004] Secondly, the design for fixing and positioning reagent containers is inadequate. In existing reagent kits, reagent containers are typically housed simply by placement, lacking effective fixing and positioning measures, which fails to ensure the stability and verticality of the containers within the kit. This makes it easy for the sample adding or stirring device to collide with the inner wall of the container during automated equipment operation, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of the operation and potentially causing equipment malfunction.

[0005] Furthermore, existing reagent kits also have shortcomings in cap design. The caps are usually threaded, which makes them prone to loosening due to vibration during transportation, potentially leading to reagent leakage, environmental and equipment contamination, and safety hazards.

[0006] In summary, existing reagent kits for analytical devices have significant shortcomings in terms of connection stability, container fixation and positioning, adaptability to different capacity requirements, and cap design. A new reagent kit design is needed to overcome these deficiencies, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of analytical devices while ensuring the safe storage and transportation of reagents. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a reagent kit suitable for use in analytical equipment.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A reagent kit suitable for use in analytical devices includes a reagent kit body and a reagent container installed within the reagent kit body, wherein the reagent kit body includes a lower box and an upper box adapted to the lower box;

[0010] The bottom of the lower box has an installation opening, and the side near the top has a slot.

[0011] The bottom of the upper box is provided with a hook-type buckle that matches the slot. The hook-type buckle is set in the slot so that the upper box and the lower box are connected to form a reagent kit body with a smooth and flat surface; the upper box is also provided with a groove.

[0012] The reagent container is provided with a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate that are adapted to the groove near the top, and a protrusion that is adapted to the mounting opening is provided at the bottom of the reagent container. The first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are set in the groove, and the protrusion at the bottom of the reagent container is set in the mounting opening, so that the reagent container is vertically set in the reagent kit body.

[0013] The reagent container is also equipped with a rotating cap on the top, and a groove is provided on the side of the cap. The top of the reagent bottle is equipped with a slider that matches the groove, and the slider is set in the groove so that the reagent container is connected to the cap.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower and upper boxes of the reagent kit body are divided into multiple receiving slots by several partitions; card slots are provided on the side of each receiving slot of the lower box body.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the two ends of the side of each receiving slot of the upper box body is provided with a columnar protrusion, and the groove is disposed between the columnar protrusions at both ends.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided at the bottom of the upper box, and the limiting block abuts against the partition of the lower box.

[0017] Furthermore, each receiving slot of the upper box body has an opening at the top that matches the top of the reagent container, and sliding holes that match the slider are provided on both sides of the opening, so that the top of the reagent container passes through the opening and the slider passes through the sliding holes, thereby connecting the reagent container to the lid.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the cover slide groove is provided with a limiting hole so that the slider is installed in the limiting hole along the slide groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the cover is also provided with redundant slots.

[0020] Furthermore, the top of the cover has a triangular structure.

[0021] Furthermore, the surface of the lid is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0022] Furthermore, the reagent container is a reagent bottle with various capacity specifications.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Strong structural stability: The upper box body's hook-type buckle matches the lower box body's slot, and the upper box body's limiting block abuts against the lower box body's partition, achieving a stable connection between the upper and lower boxes. This effectively prevents relative movement between the two, avoiding loosening or detachment of the reagent kit during use or transportation, and ensuring the safety and stability of the reagents inside the kit.

[0025] 2. Reliable Reagent Container Fixation: The bottom protrusion of the reagent container matches the mounting opening of the lower box, ensuring stable vertical positioning of the reagent container; the first and second mounting plates match the grooves of the upper box, limiting the horizontal and vertical movement of the reagent container. This multi-directional fixing method ensures that the reagent container is concentrically designed within the reagent kit and remains vertically stable, effectively avoiding the risk of collision with the inner wall of the container during sample addition or stirring by automated equipment, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of operation.

[0026] 3. High ease of operation: The cover features a knob design with anti-slip texture, making it easy for operators to open and close. The triangular structure on the top of the cover can be used with external tools such as wrenches, providing greater convenience for opening and closing, especially suitable for scenarios requiring frequent operation or use in specific environments.

[0027] 4. High Safety: The sliding groove, space redundancy, and limiting hole design on the side of the cap facilitates the installation of reagent bottles and reduces the risk of accidental collisions and damage during operation. The limiting hole effectively prevents the cap from loosening due to vibration during transportation, avoiding potential environmental pollution and equipment damage caused by reagent leakage. It also reduces the risk of secondary closure, ensuring the safety of the reagent kit during transportation and storage.

[0028] 5. High versatility: The lower box of the reagent kit is divided into multiple independent compartments by partitions, which can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate reagent bottles of different capacities according to actual needs. The reagent containers can be freely combined in the compartments to meet diverse analytical needs and changes in reagent dosage, and have wide applicability and versatility.

[0029] 6. Excellent automation adaptability: All limiting mechanisms in the upper box are concentrically designed to ensure the internal container is vertical, preventing the sample dispensing device or stirring device of automated equipment from colliding with the inner wall of the container. This improves the adaptability and compatibility of the reagent kit with automated analysis equipment, which is conducive to the automation and efficiency of the analysis process.

[0030] 7. Smooth appearance facilitates installation: The upper and lower boxes form a smooth and flat box, which helps the reagent kit to be installed and disassembled smoothly in the analytical equipment. This reduces the problem of insufficient installation space or interference with other components that may be caused by irregular shape, and improves the practicality and convenience of the reagent kit.

[0031] In summary, the reagent kit for this analytical device demonstrates significant advantages in terms of structural stability, ease of operation, safety, versatility, lifespan, automation adaptability, space utilization, and cost-effectiveness. It can effectively meet the high-performance requirements of modern analytical equipment and has broad market application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0047] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a reagent kit suitable for use in analytical equipment.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This embodiment provides a reagent kit suitable for use in analytical devices, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the kit includes a kit body 1, a reagent container 2 installed inside the kit body 1, and a lid 3 covering the reagent container 2. The kit body 1 includes a lower box 11 and an upper box 12 adapted to the lower box 11.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown in Figure 6, the lower box 11 is generally rectangular in shape. The lower box 11 is divided into multiple independent first receiving slots 112 by several vertical first partitions 111 in the middle. In this embodiment, two first partitions are used to divide the lower box into three first receiving slots (but not limited to this, it can be set according to the actual situation) so as to accommodate different reagent containers 2 respectively and avoid mutual collision and contamination between reagent containers 2.

[0051] Each of the first receiving slots 112 in the lower box body 11 has an installation opening 113 at the bottom center. The installation opening 113 can be circular, elliptical, triangular, etc. In this embodiment, the shape of the installation opening 113 is not limited and can be set according to the actual situation. Each of the first receiving slots 112 in the lower box body 11 has a slot 114 on two sides near the top. In this embodiment, each first receiving slot 112 has 4 slots, but it is not limited to this.

[0052] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the upper box 12 is adapted to the lower box 11 in terms of external dimensions and is also rectangular in shape. Several vertical second partitions 121 are used in the middle to divide the internal space of the upper box 12 into multiple independent second receiving slots 122. In this embodiment, two second partitions are used to divide the upper box into three second receiving slots (but not limited to this, it can be set according to the actual situation) so as to accommodate different reagent containers 2 respectively and avoid mutual collision and contamination between reagent containers 2.

[0053] It should be noted that the installation position of the first partition 111 corresponds completely to that of the second partition 121, and the width of the first receiving groove 112 corresponds completely to that of the second receiving groove 122, thereby making the reagent container 2 completely vertical and stable installed in the reagent kit body 1.

[0054] Each second receiving slot 122 in the upper box 12 is provided with a hook-type buckle 123 at the bottom. In this embodiment, each second receiving slot is provided with 4 hook-type buckles at the bottom, but it is not limited to this. The buckles 123 of the upper box 12 are adapted to the slots 114 of the lower box 11 so that the buckles 123 can be inserted into the slots 114, thereby realizing a stable connection between the upper box 12 and the lower box 11.

[0055] Each second receiving slot 122 in the upper box 12 is provided with a limiting block 124 at the bottom and on the side of the second partition 121. In this embodiment, four limiting blocks are shown so that every two limiting blocks can abut against a first partition 111. That is, when the upper box 12 covers the lower box 11, the limiting block 124 abuts against the first partition 111 of the lower box 11 to prevent the upper box 12 from moving up, down, left, right, forward and backward after it is connected to the lower box 11, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the two.

[0056] In the upper box 12, each second receiving groove 122 has semi-cylindrical protrusions 125 on both sides and near the ends. That is, each second receiving groove 122 has a total of 4 semi-cylindrical protrusions 125. One end of each protrusion 125 abuts against the top of the second receiving groove 122, and the other end of each protrusion 125 is located in the lower middle part of the second receiving groove 122, so that a first groove 126 space is formed between two protrusions 125 on the same side.

[0057] In this embodiment, one end of the hook-type buckle 123 extends into the lower middle part of the second receiving groove 122, but does not connect with the other end of the protrusion 125. That is, the space between one end of the hook-type buckle 123 and the other end of the protrusion 125 and part of the space in the second receiving groove 122 form the second groove 127 space.

[0058] Each second receiving slot 122 in the upper box 12 has an opening 128 at its top that matches the top of the reagent container 2, and sliding holes 129 are provided on both sides of the opening 128. In this embodiment, the mounting port 113 in the lower box 11 is concentrically designed with the opening 128 in the upper box 12 to ensure that the internal reagent container 2 is vertical and to prevent the sample dispensing device or stirring device of the automated equipment from colliding with the inner wall of the container.

[0059] In this embodiment, all designs within each second receiving slot 122 of the upper box 12 are concentric to ensure the verticality of the internal reagent container 2 and prevent the sample dispensing device or stirring device of the automated equipment from colliding with the inner wall of the reagent container 2.

[0060] like Figures 9-10 As shown, reagent container 2 is a reagent bottle of various sizes, such as cylindrical, triangular, and square, which can be freely combined in the receiving groove according to the actual situation. The bottom of reagent container 2 is provided with a protrusion 21 that matches the shape and size of the mounting port 113 of the lower box 11, so that when reagent container 2 is placed in the first receiving groove 112, the bottom protrusion 21 is inserted into the mounting port 113, thereby achieving vertical positioning and fixation of reagent container 2, ensuring that reagent container 2 maintains a stable vertical state in the lower box 11, and preventing shaking or collision during sample addition or stirring operations in automated equipment; and both the bottom of the lower box 11 and the bottom of reagent container 2 are smooth and flat.

[0061] Near the top of reagent container 2, from top to bottom, there are slider 22, first mounting plate 23, and second mounting plate 24.

[0062] The sliders 22 are located on both sides of the reagent container 2 near the top, and the sliders 22 are adapted to the slider holes 129. When the sliders 22 pass through the slider holes 129 on the top of the upper box 12, they slide and connect with the two sides of the cover 3, thereby limiting the reagent container 2 in the vertical direction and facilitating the installation of the reagent container.

[0063] Both the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 24 are annular plates and are adapted to the interior of the second receiving groove 122. The two sides of the first mounting plate 23 are outward protrusions adapted to the first groove 126, so that the first mounting plate 23 protrudes outward and engages with the first groove 126, thereby positioning the reagent container 2 in the horizontal direction and preventing the reagent container 2 from moving horizontally within the upper box 12. The annular plate of the second mounting plate 24 engages with the second groove 127, and after the second mounting plate 24 is set in the second groove 127, the bottom of the second mounting plate 24 can abut against the top of one end of the hook-type buckle 123, thereby limiting the reagent container 2 in the vertical direction and ensuring that the reagent container 2 maintains a stable vertical state within the upper box 12.

[0064] like Figures 11-12 As shown, the cover 3 is a knob-type design, which can be cylindrical in shape, and has anti-slip texture 31 on the outer surface to increase friction, making it easier for the operator to rotate the cover and preventing slippage when opening or closing. The top of the cover 3 is designed with a triangular structure 32, which can be adapted to external tools such as wrenches, so that tools can be used to assist in opening the cover when needed.

[0065] Both sides of the cover 3 are provided with a sliding groove 33, a redundant groove 34, and a limiting hole 35. The groove 33 transitions from large to small, and the limiting hole 35 is located at the end of the small groove of the sliding groove 33. The redundant groove 34 is located above the sliding groove 33. In this embodiment, the size of the slider 22 can be adapted to the space of the large groove of the sliding groove 33, so that when the slider 22 is placed in the position of the large groove of the sliding groove 33, by rotating the cover 3, the slider 22 transitions from the large groove to the small groove along the sliding groove 33, and is then placed in the limiting hole 35. The slider 22 also abuts against the structure between the sliding groove 33 and the redundant groove 34. During the sliding process, the redundant groove 34 provides redundant space for the slider 22. In this embodiment, the limiting hole 354 is provided to prevent the cover 3 from loosening during transportation and to warn of the risk of secondary closure.

[0066] One method of using the reagent kit in an analytical device according to this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] First, place reagent container 2 into the first receiving groove 112 of the lower box 11, so that the protrusion 21 at the bottom of reagent container 2 inserts into the mounting opening 113 at the bottom of the lower box 11, achieving initial vertical positioning of reagent container 2. Then, cover the lower box 11 with the upper box 12, so that the hook-type buckle 123 at the bottom of the upper box 12 engages in the slot 114 on the side of the lower box 11, while the limiting block 124 at the bottom of the upper box 12 abuts against the first partition 111 of the lower box 11, thereby achieving a stable connection between the upper box 12 and the lower box 11 and preventing any relative movement between them. At this time, the first mounting plate 23 at the top of reagent container 2 is inserted into the first groove 126 of the upper box 12, and the second mounting plate 24 is inserted into the second groove 127 of the upper box, further positioning and limiting reagent container 2, ensuring that the reagent container remains stable in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Finally, screw the cap 3 onto the reagent container 2. The sliding groove 33 on the side of the cap 3 slides into the slider 22 on the top of the reagent container, and the limiting hole 35 on the cap 3 engages with the slider 22 to prevent the cap 3 from loosening during transportation, ensuring the safe storage and transport of the reagents inside the kit. This connection method forms a smooth and flat box, facilitating installation and operation in analytical equipment. It also effectively prevents shaking and collisions of the reagent bottles, ensuring accurate operation of the automated equipment's sample dispensing or stirring devices, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of analytical results. Furthermore, the various capacity specifications and customizable configurations of the reagent containers allow this kit to flexibly adapt to different analytical needs and reagent dosages.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] This embodiment provides a reagent kit suitable for use in analytical devices, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that:

[0070] like Figure 13 As shown, the first mounting plate 23 of the reagent container 2 is designed in a circular shape so that the circular structure of the first mounting plate 23 is engaged in the first groove 126, thereby positioning the reagent container 2 in the horizontal direction and preventing the reagent container 2 from moving horizontally within the upper box 12.

[0071] It should be noted that the other structures of reagent container 2, reagent kit body 1, and cap 3 are similar to those in Example 1, and will not be described in detail in this example.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 23 is designed as a ring, which makes the production process more convenient. The ring shape also enables the limiting of the reagent container, effectively avoiding the risk of collision with the inner wall of the container when the automated equipment adds samples or stirs, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation.

[0073] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
