Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of experimental equipment technology, and in particular to a tray for a dry thermostat. Background Technology

[0002] In laboratories of bioscience and materials science, dry-type thermostats have replaced traditional water bath heating methods. Their novel CNC metal heating system can be widely used in enzyme reactions, serum inactivation experiments, Rh blood sample research, crossmatching, and cholesterol identification and detection. The working principle of a dry-type thermostat is to generate heat through an electric heating element and transfer it to the sample placed on the heating plate using air convection or radiation. EP tubes (centrifuge tubes), as the container for the sample, play a crucial role in the heating process.

[0003] However, in actual operation, when using a dry thermostat to heat the sample inside the EP tube, the steam or gas generated after the sample is heated cannot be discharged in time, causing the internal pressure of the EP tube to gradually increase, which has an adverse effect on the physical structure of the EP tube. Especially during and after heating, the high pressure environment inside the EP tube makes the top cover prone to loosening, and in severe cases, it may even cause the top cover to completely detach, thereby damaging the sample and affecting the accuracy of the experimental results.

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification to the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that this application can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application.

[0020] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a tray for a dry thermostat. The tray includes a tray body 01 and a cover plate 02. The cover plate 02 is hinged to one side of the tray body 01. The shape and size of the tray body 01 and the cover plate 02 are adapted to each other. The tray body 01 is uniformly provided with a plurality of holes 03. The plurality of holes 03 are used to place a plurality of centrifuge tubes. The tray body is used to be placed in a constant temperature metal bath that matches the plurality of holes 03. The cover plate 02 and the tray body 01 cooperate to prevent the centrifuge tubes from bursting.

[0022] In this embodiment, a common operating mode of the dry-type thermostat is a thermostatic metal bath. This utilizes the excellent thermal conductivity of metals (such as stainless steel and aluminum alloys) to heat the centrifuge tubes uniformly and rapidly via heating elements, thereby achieving constant temperature control of the experimental samples within the centrifuge tubes. Its working principle is based on heat conduction and temperature control algorithms, ensuring that the experimental samples react stably within the set temperature range. The dimensions of the tray body 01 should be adapted to the thermostatic metal bath to ensure sufficient heating. The number of holes 03 can generally be set to 24 or 48 holes, without limitation here. In use, several centrifuge tubes are first placed in the holes 03, then the cover plate 02 is placed on top, and the tray body 01 is placed on the heating tank of the dry-type thermostat. The heating tank contains a thermostatic metal bath that matches the number of holes 03, allowing the centrifuge tubes to contact the thermostatic metal bath for heating or constant temperature control. Adding a cover plate 02 to one side of the tray body 01 can prevent the cover from bursting or even the tube from bursting due to excessive pressure inside the centrifuge tube during or after heating, thereby improving the safety of the experiment and the accuracy of the experimental results.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, both the tray body 01 and the cover plate 02 are flat metal plates.

[0024] In this optional embodiment, both the tray body 01 and the cover plate 02 are made of a thin, flat metal material with good thermal conductivity and high hardness. The good thermal conductivity of the tray body 01 and the cover plate 02 can accelerate the rate of heat loss to a certain extent, and the high hardness ensures that the tray is not easily deformed during repeated use. The thin, flat shape is more suitable for the heating tank of the dry thermostat.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, a first handle 04 is provided on the hingeless side of the tray body 01, and a second handle 05 is provided on the hingeless side of the cover plate 02.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, both the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 are made of heat-insulating material.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 are adapted in shape and size.

[0028] In the three optional embodiments described above, a first handle 04 and a second handle 05 are added to facilitate the handling of the tray. For the safety of the experimenters, the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 should be made of heat-insulating or non-thermal-conductive materials to prevent burns when handling the tray. The dimensions of the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 are adapted so that after the cover plate 02 is closed, the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 cooperate to form a complete handle for easy handling. In use, after heating is complete, the tray is removed from the dry-type thermostat by holding the complete handle, then placed on the sample plate. After cooling for a short time, the first handle 04 is used to open the cover plate 02 and remove the centrifuge tube.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, both the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 are provided with magnets 06, and the position of the magnet 06 of the first handle 04 corresponds to the position of the magnet 06 of the second handle 05, so that when the cover plate 02 is closed, the magnets 06 attract each other and tighten the cover plate 02.

[0030] In the above optional embodiments, both the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 can be provided with magnets 06 that have strong attraction. When the cover plate 02 and the tray body 01 are closed, the magnets 06 on the first handle 04 and the second handle 05 attract each other, clamping the cover plate 02 and the tray body 01 while also clamping the centrifuge tube, further preventing the centrifuge tube from bursting or slipping off the tray body 01.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the diameter of a plurality of holes 03 is set to be adapted to the diameter of the centrifuge tube inlet.

[0032] In this optional embodiment, the diameter of the hole 03 is adapted to the diameter of the centrifuge tube opening, so that several centrifuge tubes can be placed on the tray body 01 at the same time and put in and taken out uniformly.

[0033] It should be noted that the above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
