Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory equipment technology, and in particular to a reagent kit storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Reagent kits, also known as reagent tubes, are specialized containers used to store reagents for detecting chemical components, drug residues, virus types, etc. In a laboratory environment, reagent kits containing reagents need to be stored properly. Sometimes, a certain number of empty reagent kits and reagent-filled kits are stored on the same rack, with empty kits on one side and reagent-filled kits on the other side for differentiation. However, if not handled properly, empty and reagent-filled kits may be mixed together. Because they are at the same height on the rack, they are easily confused, making it difficult to quickly identify which kit is empty and which is filled. Furthermore, sometimes a certain number of empty kits are placed on one set of racks, while a certain number of reagent-filled kits are placed on another set for differentiation. During the experiment, it is still possible to accidentally place reagent-filled kits into the racks corresponding to empty kits due to improper handling, leading to confusion and difficulty in differentiation. Moreover, too many racks, scattered and disorganized, take up experimental space and cannot effectively meet experimental needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a reagent kit storage device that allows empty reagent kits and reagent kits filled with reagents to be placed together, and can be quickly distinguished even if they are mixed up, effectively meeting experimental needs and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a reagent kit storage device, including a base plate and a tray mounted on the base plate;

[0005] The tray is provided with several sets of storage units;

[0006] The storage unit comprises a molding hole formed on a tray, a storage body inserted into the molding hole, and a breakable connection structure connecting the storage body and the tray; the storage body has a storage cavity with an open top; the bottom of the storage body has a through hole communicating with the storage cavity; when the storage body is pressed down, the breakable connection structure can break.

[0007] The storage body has a starting position before the breakable connection structure breaks and a sinking position after the breakable connection structure breaks relative to the tray.

[0008] The base plate is provided with a top rod corresponding to the perforation below each storage unit; in the sunken position, the top rod is inserted into the storage cavity through the perforation.

[0009] Furthermore, the breakable connection structure is a thin component with a thickness less than that of the tray; several of the thin components are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the storage body.

[0010] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are distributed on the top or bottom surface of the tray outside the storage unit.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage unit is integrally formed on the tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with a plurality of positioning columns; the positioning columns are provided with limiting platforms; the pallet is provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning columns; when the pallet is mounted on the base plate, the positioning columns and positioning holes are inserted and engaged vertically, and the pallet abuts against the limiting platforms vertically.

[0013] Furthermore, a number of supporting columns are distributed on the base plate; when the tray is placed on the base plate, the tray and the supporting columns abut against each other vertically.

[0014] Furthermore, the storage cavity has a designed height; in the initial position, when the reagent kit is inserted into the storage cavity, the reagent kit is completely contained within the storage cavity.

[0015] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the cooperative use of a storage unit, allows empty reagent kits and / or reagent kits filled with reagents to be inserted and stored in the storage cavity of the storage body. The empty reagent kit is initially placed in the storage cavity of the storage body in its initial position. When the storage body is pressed down, the breakable connecting structure is forced to break, causing the storage body to move downwards to a recessed position. A push rod then ejects the empty reagent kit from the storage cavity, allowing it to be retrieved. After the experiment, the reagent kit filled with reagents is placed into the storage cavity of the storage body in its recessed position. Because the heights of the storage body in the initial and recessed positions are different, and the heights of the reagent kits are also different, the empty and reagent-filled reagent kits can be distinguished. This method allows empty and reagent-filled reagent kits to be placed together, and even if they are mixed up, they can be quickly distinguished, effectively meeting experimental needs and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0017] 2. This utility model features a rationally designed storage cavity height. When in the initial position, the empty reagent kit is completely inside the storage cavity and cannot be retrieved. This prevents the retrieval of the empty reagent kit before the breakable connecting structure is broken, effectively avoiding accidental operation and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-7The diagram illustrates a reagent kit storage device described in this embodiment, used for storing reagent kit 6. The storage device includes a base plate 1 and a tray 2. The tray 2 is detachably mounted on the base plate 1, creating a vertical gap between them. Both the tray 2 and the base plate 1 are made of plastic. Several storage units are distributed and installed on the tray 2. These storage units can store reagent kit 6. Each storage unit includes a forming hole 3 formed on the tray 2, a storage body 4 inserted into the forming hole 3, and a breakable connection structure 5 connecting the storage body 4 and the tray 2. The forming hole 3 is either round or square. The storage body 4 is suspended within the forming hole 3, not directly contacting the inner wall of the forming hole 3. The storage body 4 has a storage cavity 41 with an open top. The storage cavity 41 has a designed height and inner diameter to accommodate the reagent kit 6. Empty reagent kit 6 and reagent kit 6 containing reagents can be inserted and stored in the storage cavity 41 of the storage body 4. The bottom of the storage body 4 has a through hole 42 communicating with the storage cavity 41. The aforementioned breakable connection structure 5 is a thin component with a thickness less than that of the support plate 2. The thickness of this thin component is no more than 1 mm. Several thin components are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the storage body 4. When the storage body 4 is pressed down, the breakable connection structure 5 can break, thereby allowing the storage body 4 to move downward.

[0029] The tray 2 and the storage unit are integrally molded by injection molding.

[0030] On the base plate 1, a top rod 12 is formed below each storage unit, corresponding vertically to the perforation 42. The aforementioned storage body 4 has an initial position before the breakable connection structure 5 breaks and a sunken position after the breakable connection structure 5 breaks relative to the support plate 2. In the aforementioned initial position, the top rod 12 is away from the storage body 4. In the aforementioned sunken position, the top rod 12 can be inserted into the storage cavity 41 through the perforation 42.

[0031] The aforementioned storage cavity 41 has a designed height. When in the initial position, with the reagent kit 6 inserted into the storage cavity 41, the reagent kit 6 is completely contained within the storage cavity 41, making it impossible to remove the reagent kit 6. This effectively prevents the removal of an empty reagent kit 6 before the breakable connection structure 5 is broken, thus avoiding accidental operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, reinforcing ribs 21 are formed on the top or bottom surface of the tray 2, located outside the storage unit. The reinforcing ribs 21 extend on the top or bottom surface of the tray 2 to improve the overall structural strength of the tray 2. A plurality of positioning posts are formed on the aforementioned base plate 1. Each positioning post has an upward-facing limiting platform 111. The aforementioned tray 2 has positioning holes 22 corresponding to the positioning posts. When the tray 2 is mounted on the base plate 1, the positioning posts and positioning holes 22 are vertically inserted and engaged, and the tray 2 abuts against the limiting platform 111. Through the engagement of the positioning posts and positioning holes 22, the tray 2 can be accurately positioned on the base plate 1, and the tray 2 can be disassembled.

[0033] The aforementioned base plate 1 has several supporting columns distributed on it. When the aforementioned tray 2 is placed on the base plate 1, the tray 2 abuts against the supporting columns vertically. The support columns enhance the support strength of the base plate 1, effectively preventing the tray 2 from collapsing.

[0034] In practical use, an empty reagent kit 6 is placed in the storage cavity 41 of the storage body 4 in the initial position beforehand. During the experiment, the storage body 4 is pressed down to force the breakable connecting structure 5 to break, causing the storage body 4 to move downward to the sunken position. The push rod 12 then pushes the empty reagent kit 6 out of the storage cavity 41 to remove the empty reagent kit 6. After the experiment, the reagent-filled reagent kit 6 is placed into the storage cavity 41 of the storage body 4 in the sunken position. Because the storage body 4 in the initial and sunken positions has different heights, and the reagent kit 6 also has different heights, the empty reagent kit 6 and the reagent-filled reagent kit 6 can be distinguished, and even if they are mixed together, they can be quickly differentiated, effectively meeting experimental requirements.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
