AI Technical Summary
The pump chamber front cover of existing protein blot instruments has only one function: it can only block dust and cannot store reagent bottles.
A box-shaped front cover was designed with an internal slot for placing reagent bottles. The front cover is detachable through a hinge rod and a rotating shaft structure. When not in use, it can be inserted into the pump chamber to reduce the footprint, and when in use, it can be removed and supported on the front side of the housing.
The front cover not only blocks dust but also stores reagent bottles, offering multiple functions, reducing space requirements and improving equipment efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a protein blot instrument, specifically to a connection structure for the front cover of the pump chamber of a protein blot instrument. Background Technology
[0002] A Western blot processor is a medical device used for protein analysis. It consists of core components such as a control unit, sample chamber, sample loading channel, accompanying vials, and aspiration and loading pumps. It is widely used in biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, and HIV testing. Existing Western blot processors, such as the one published in CN208172018U, have a pump chamber on the front of the casing, covered by a front cover. Closing the front cover when not in use effectively prevents dust accumulation; however, this front cover only functions as a cover during operation, limiting its functionality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of providing a connection structure for the front cover of the pump chamber of a protein blot instrument that can accommodate reagent bottles.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention for the connection structure of the front cover of the pump chamber of a protein blot instrument is as follows:
[0005] The device includes an imprinter housing; a pump chamber is located on the front side of the imprinter housing; a front cover, which is box-shaped, is mounted on the pump chamber; a placement slot for placing reagent bottles is provided inside the front cover; a sealing cap for limiting the position of the reagent bottles is detachably connected to the front cover; multiple hinge rods are connected to the front cover; each of the hinge rods has a rotating shaft connected to its end, and the rotating shafts at the ends of all the hinge rods are coaxial; a rotating connection slot corresponding to the hinge rods is opened below the pump chamber of the imprinter housing; the rotating connection slot has two sides on the left and right sides. The front cover has a longitudinal groove corresponding to the pivot at the end of the hinge rod. The pivot is slidably connected to the two longitudinal grooves and can rotate within them. Connecting ears are provided on both the left and right sides of the front cover. When the pivot is located at the rear end of the longitudinal groove, the front cover is inserted into the pump chamber, and the connecting ears are connected to the imprinter housing by bolts. When the pivot is located at the front end of the longitudinal groove, the front cover is detached from the pump chamber and located in front of the pump chamber. The front cover is rotatably connected to the front side of the imprinter housing via the pivot.
[0006] The front cover has four placement slots on its left and right sides respectively.
[0007] Both sides of the front cover are connected to transverse slide rails; each of the two transverse slide rails is provided with a transverse slide groove; the two transverse slide grooves are symmetrically arranged; the cover is inserted into the two transverse slide grooves, and the cover is slidably connected to the two transverse slide grooves.
[0008] The cover has grooves on both the left and right sides.
[0009] Two hinged rods are connected to the front cover, and two rotating connection slots are opened below the pump chamber of the corresponding imprinter housing.
[0010] The technical effects that this utility model can achieve are: the box-shaped design of the front cover can be used to store reagent bottles. Compared with the existing front cover, it can not only block dust but also store reagent bottles, thus having more functions; when the front cover is not in use, it is inserted into the pump chamber to reduce the floor space; and when the front cover is in use, it is removed from the pump chamber.
