Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifuge tube rack technology, specifically to a double-sided centrifuge tube rack. Background Technology

[0002] Centrifuge tubes are tubular sample containers. Centrifuge tubes require the use of centrifuge tube racks.

[0003] To accommodate centrifuge tubes of different diameters, double-sided centrifuge tube racks are currently available. The top surface of the rack has a first insertion hole, and the bottom surface has a second insertion hole. Both holes can be used to insert centrifuge tubes of different diameters, and operators can choose either the first or second insertion hole as needed. For example, when using the first insertion hole, the rack can be placed with the top surface facing upwards.

[0004] When the sample size is large, the number of centrifuge tubes and double-sided centrifuge racks used also increases accordingly. To avoid confusion between samples from different experiments, double-sided centrifuge racks used for the same experiment can be assembled together to reduce the risk of confusion.

[0005] A search revealed that in the publication CN215353569U, titled "A Splicable Double-Sided Centrifuge Tube Rack," two adjacent double-sided centrifuge tube racks are slidably spliced ​​together and assembled in the same horizontal plane.

[0006] Therefore, the current double-sided centrifuge tube racks are assembled on the same horizontal plane, which is not suitable for use in situations with limited horizontal space, thus reducing the flexibility of use. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a double-sided centrifuge tube rack. This invention not only allows for the assembly of double-sided centrifuge tube racks on the same horizontal plane, but also enables the vertical stacking of double-sided centrifuge tube racks, making it suitable for use in situations with limited horizontal space and improving its flexibility.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A double-sided centrifuge tube rack includes a tube rack body, a first insertion hole on the top surface of the tube rack body, a second insertion hole on the bottom surface of the tube rack body, an assembly structure on the tube rack body for assembling adjacent tube rack bodies in the same horizontal plane, and a stacking structure on the tube rack body, the stacking structure including ear plates and handles, ear plates on both the left and right sides of the tube rack body, and handles on the ear plates, when adjacent tube rack bodies are stacked together in the vertical direction, the ear plate on the upper tube rack body abuts against the top of the handle on the lower tube rack body.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the centrifuge tube rack is provided with number slots, which correspond one-to-one with the first insertion hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the assembly structure includes wedge grooves and wedge blocks. The front and rear sides of the pipe rack body are provided with wedge grooves. The wedge block includes two symmetrically arranged insertion parts. When one insertion part of the wedge block is inserted into the wedge groove on one pipe rack body, and the other insertion part of the wedge block is inserted into the wedge groove on another pipe rack body, the adjacent pipe rack bodies are assembled in the same horizontal plane.

[0011] Furthermore, anti-slip textures are provided on both the left and right ends of the front side and the left and right ends of the rear side of the pipe rack body.

[0012] Furthermore, both the middle of the front side and the middle of the rear side of the tube rack body are provided with a flat surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle includes a mounting frame and an operating frame, with the operating frame located at the top of the mounting frame. The mounting frame and the operating frame are an integral structure, and the ear plate is inserted into the mounting frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the ear plate are provided with positioning grooves, and the side of the mounting frame is engaged with the positioning grooves.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The assembly structure is used to assemble adjacent double-sided centrifuge tube racks on the same horizontal plane, while the stacking structure is used to stack adjacent double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically. By stacking the double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically, it is suitable for use in situations with limited horizontal space, thus improving the flexibility of use.

[0016] 2. The handle design allows staff to move the pipe rack body by gripping the handle, eliminating the need to directly grasp the pipe rack body and improving ease of use.

[0017] 3. The bottom surface of the number slot is engraved with numbers, ensuring that the centrifuge tubes inserted into the first socket correspond to their numbers. When retrieving centrifuge tubes from the first socket, staff can easily select the correct number, facilitating record-keeping. Engraving the numbers in the slot prevents staff from directly touching them, reducing wear and tear from frequent handling and extending the tubes' lifespan.

[0018] 4. The anti-slip texture increases the friction when workers grip the pipe rack, reducing the risk of slipping and improving the stability of picking up the pipe rack.

[0019] 5. The flat surface can be used to affix labels, logos, or trademarks, improving ease of use.

[0020] 6. When the mounting frame is forcefully pulled away from the ear plate, the handle and the pipe rack body can be separated, making it easy to replace the handle or the pipe rack body separately, which is convenient for maintenance. Furthermore, after the handle and the pipe rack body are separated, the transportation volume can be reduced, and more double-sided centrifugal pipe racks can be placed in the limited transportation space, which helps to improve transportation efficiency.

[0021] 7. By setting the positioning groove, the resistance of the mounting frame detaching from the ear plate can be increased, which helps to improve the reliability of the mounting frame and ear plate when they are inserted and matched, thereby improving the reliability of the double-sided centrifuge tube rack.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To better understand this utility model, it will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is worth noting that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Example: A double-sided centrifuge tube rack includes a rack body 1. See also... Figure 4 The top surface of the pipe rack body 1 is provided with a first insertion hole 11. (See also...) Figure 3 The bottom surface of the tube rack body 1 is provided with a second insertion hole 12. The diameter of the first insertion hole 11 and the diameter of the second insertion hole 12 are different. In this embodiment, the diameter of the first insertion hole 11 is larger than the diameter of the second insertion hole 12. The first insertion hole 11 and the second insertion hole 12 are used to insert centrifuge tubes of different diameters. The operator can choose the first insertion hole 11 or the second insertion hole 12 according to the needs. For example, when using the first insertion hole 11, the operator can simply place the tube rack body 1 with the top surface of the tube rack body 1 having the first insertion hole 11 facing upwards.

[0026] See Figure 4 The top surface of the tube rack body 1 is also provided with a number slot 13, which corresponds one-to-one with the first insertion hole 11. The bottom surface of the number slot 13 is used to engrave numbers (not shown in the figure), so that the centrifuge tubes inserted into the first insertion hole 11 correspond to the numbers. When the staff takes out the centrifuge tubes inserted into the first insertion hole 11, they can take out the corresponding number, which is convenient for recording and use. By engraving the numbers in the number slot 13, the staff's fingers can be prevented from directly touching the numbers, avoiding wear and tear due to frequent touching, which helps to extend the service life.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The left and right ends of the front side and the left and right ends of the rear side of the pipe rack body 1 are provided with anti-slip textures 14. In this embodiment, the anti-slip textures 14 include multiple arc-shaped surfaces. The anti-slip textures 14 can increase the friction when the worker grips the pipe rack body 1, reduce the risk of slipping, and improve the stability of picking up the pipe rack body 1.

[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The pipe rack body 1 has a flat surface 15 at the middle of its front side and the middle of its rear side. The flat surface 15 can be used to attach labels, logos or trademarks, etc., to improve ease of use.

[0029] The pipe rack body 1 is equipped with an assembly structure. The assembly structure includes a wedge groove 21 and a wedge block 22. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 The front and rear sides of the pipe rack body 1 are both provided with wedge grooves 21. (See also...) Figure 6 The wedge block 22 includes two symmetrically arranged insertion parts 221.

[0030] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the first insertion part 221 in the wedge block 22 is inserted into the wedge groove 21 on one pipe rack body 1, and the second insertion part 221 in the wedge block 22 is inserted into the wedge groove 21 on another pipe rack body 1, the adjacent pipe rack bodies 1 are assembled in the same horizontal plane.

[0031] The tube rack body 1 is also equipped with a stacking structure. The stacking structure includes ear plates 31 and handles 32. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tube rack body 1 has ear plates 31 on both its left and right sides, and the tube rack body 1 and the ear plates 31 are an integral structure. See also Figure 5 The handle 32 includes a mounting frame 321 and an operating frame 322. The operating frame 322 is located at the top of the mounting frame 321, and the mounting frame 321 and the operating frame 322 are an integral structure. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the inner ring of the mounting frame 321 is inserted and engaged with the ear plate 31, the handle 32 is assembled with the pipe rack body 1. At this time, the operator can grasp the handle 32 to move the pipe rack body 1 without having to directly grasp the pipe rack body 1, which improves the convenience of use.

[0032] When the mounting frame 321 is forcefully pulled away from the ear plate 31, the handle 32 can be separated from the tube rack body 1, making it easy to replace the handle 32 or the tube rack body 1 separately, which is convenient for maintenance. Furthermore, after the handle 32 is separated from the tube rack body 1, the transportation volume can be reduced, and more double-sided centrifugal tube racks can be placed in the limited transportation space, which is beneficial to improving transportation efficiency.

[0033] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 When adjacent pipe rack bodies 1 are stacked together in the vertical direction, the ear plate 31 on the upper pipe rack body 1 abuts against the top of the operating frame 322 on the lower pipe rack body 1.

[0034] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The ear plate 31 has positioning grooves 311 on both its front and rear sides. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side of the mounting frame 321 engages with the positioning groove 311. By setting the positioning groove 311, the resistance of the mounting frame 321 disengaging from the ear plate 31 can be increased, which helps to improve the reliability of the mounting frame 321 and the ear plate 31 when they are inserted and engaged, thereby improving the reliability of the double-sided centrifuge tube rack.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Scenario (1), see Figure 7 and Figure 8 When it is necessary to assemble a double-sided centrifuge tube rack in a horizontal plane: (1) The worker inserts the first insertion part 221 of the wedge 22 into the wedge groove 21 on the front side of the first tube rack body 1; (2) The worker aligns the wedge groove 21 on the rear side of the second tube rack body 1 with the second insertion part 221 of the wedge 22, and presses the second tube rack body 1 downward so that the second insertion part 221 of the wedge 22 is inserted into the wedge groove 21 on the rear side of the second tube rack body 1; After completing the above steps (1) and (2), the two double-sided centrifuge tube racks can be assembled in the same horizontal plane; when it is necessary to continue assembling a double-sided centrifuge tube rack in a horizontal plane, the above steps (1) and (2) can be repeated. In this case (a), centrifuge tubes can be inserted before assembly or after assembly.

[0036] Scenario (II), see Figure 9 and Figure 10 When it is necessary to stack double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically: The staff places the ear plates 31 on the left and right sides of the second tube rack body 1 on top of the operating frames 322 on the left and right sides of the first tube rack body 1, thus stacking the two double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically. When it is necessary to stack the next double-sided centrifuge tube rack, the above operation is repeated. In this case (II), centrifuge tubes need to be inserted into the double-sided centrifuge tube rack before the above stacking operation is performed.

[0037] Scenario (3), see Figure 11 and Figure 12 When it is necessary to assemble a double-sided centrifuge tube rack in both the horizontal and vertical directions, the operations in both scenario (1) and scenario (2) can be combined.

[0038] Based on the working principle described above, this embodiment has the following advantages: The assembly structure is used to assemble adjacent double-sided centrifuge tube racks on the same horizontal plane, while the stacking structure is used to stack adjacent double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically. By stacking double-sided centrifuge tube racks vertically, they can be used in situations where horizontal space is limited, thus improving the flexibility of use.

[0039] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
