Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory equipment technology, and in particular to a raised, transparent, temperature-controlled EP tube rack. Background Technology

[0002] EP tubes, also known as miniature centrifuge tubes, are commonly used equipment in laboratories and testing rooms in fields such as biology and medicine. Their unique conical curved bottom design makes them unable to be placed directly and stably on a table, and they must be supported by a special support frame to be used properly.

[0003] Most EP tube racks currently on the market are fixed structures, which has obvious limitations in actual operation: on the one hand, when it is necessary to add samples in batches, the fixed tube rack is difficult to adjust to an angle that is easy to operate, and operators often need to repeatedly adjust their posture, which not only increases the workload but also affects the efficiency of sample addition; on the other hand, the fixed structure makes the tube rack less adaptable and cannot flexibly meet the placement requirements of EP tubes of different specifications and heights. When facing diverse experimental scenarios, it is often necessary to prepare multiple different tube racks, which not only occupies experimental space but also increases experimental costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an elevated, transparent, temperature-controlled EP tube rack to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a rotating cap is rotatably connected inside the fixed disk via a rotating shaft, and a limit pin is movably connected to the rotating cap. The rotating cap is fixedly connected to the frame via the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting pin, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rotating cap, the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the limiting pin, and the end of the limiting pin passes through the rotating cap and is inserted into the limiting hole.

[0010] Preferably, the base plate has an installation groove, and protrusions are symmetrically installed inside the installation groove.

[0011] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice box, and a groove is provided inside the locking block, with the groove corresponding to the protrusion. Handles are symmetrically installed on the outside of the ice box.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a raised, transparent, temperature-controlled EP tube rack, including a base plate 1 made of high-strength ABS engineering plastic. This material not only has good corrosion resistance and can adapt to various chemical environments in the laboratory, but also has high hardness and strong load-bearing capacity. A frame body 2 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1, and a perforated plate 3 is installed on the frame body 2. The perforated plate 3 is made of transparent polycarbonate material, which facilitates observation of the placement of EP tubes. An ice box 14 is detachably installed on the base plate 1. The ice box 14 is made of food-grade PP material, which has good low-temperature resistance and can maintain a low-temperature environment for a long time, providing a stable heat preservation effect for the EP tubes. It also includes: a rotating component 4 installed on the base plate 1 and the frame body 2, which is used to adjust the angle of the frame body 2 and the perforated plate 3; and an adjusting component 5 installed on the ice box 14, which is used to adjust the internal height of the ice box 14 to accommodate EP tubes of different heights.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating component 4 includes a shaped frame 6 installed on the outside of the base plate 1. A fixed plate 7 is fixedly installed on the shaped frame 6. Limiting holes 8 are evenly opened on the fixed plate 7 to ensure the accurate positioning of the frame 2 when it is adjusted at different angles.

[0027] It should be noted that the fixed plate 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating cap 9 through a rotating shaft. The outer surface of the rotating cap 9 is provided with anti-slip stripes to facilitate the operator's rotation. The rotating cap 9 is movably connected to the limit pin 10. The rotating cap 9 is fixedly connected to the frame 2 through the rotating shaft.

[0028] Furthermore, a spring 11 is fitted around the limit pin 10. The spring 11 is made of high-quality spring steel with a stable elastic coefficient, which can provide continuous elastic force to the limit pin 10. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the cap 9, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the limit pin 10. The end of the limit pin 10 passes through the cap 9 and is inserted into the limit hole 8. When it is necessary to add samples in batches, the limit pin 10 is pushed outward, and then the cap 9 is rotated. The cap 9 drives the tube rack and the orifice plate 3 to tilt, which can tilt the entire tube rack so that the EP tube opening faces outward, which is convenient for adding samples.

[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The base plate 1 has an installation groove 12, and symmetrical protrusions 13 are installed inside the installation groove 12. The bottom of the ice box 14 is fixedly connected to a locking block 15, and the locking block 15 has a groove 16 inside, which corresponds to the protrusion 13. The ice box 14 has symmetrical handles 22 installed on the outside. By inserting the groove 16 into the protrusion 13, the ice box 14 can be quickly installed, which facilitates the insulation of the EP tube. The surface of the protrusion 13 is smooth and fits perfectly with the groove 16 on the locking block 15 at the bottom of the ice box 14. During installation, the ice box 14 can be quickly fixed by simply pushing it. During disassembly, the symmetrically installed handles 22 can be held and lifted upwards, making the operation very convenient.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The adjusting component 5 includes an inner pad 17 installed inside the ice box 14. The inner pad 17 inside the ice box 14 is made of soft silicone material, which can closely fit the outer wall of the EP tube to enhance the heat preservation effect and avoid wear caused by direct contact between the EP tube and the ice box 14. At the same time, the inner pad 17 has corresponding recessed holes to facilitate the insertion of the EP tube. A guide plate 18 is installed at the bottom of the inner pad 17. Vertical plates 19 are symmetrically installed on the guide plate 18. The surface of the guide plate 18 is flat and smooth and is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 19 by welding, so that the connection is firm. Magnetic sheets 20 are symmetrically arranged on the vertical plate 19. Magnetic blocks 21 are arranged on the ice box 14 outside the magnetic sheets 20. By sliding the magnetic blocks 21, the magnetic sheets 20 are moved, thereby moving the vertical plate 19 upward, and then moving the guide plate 18 and the inner pad 17. This makes it easy to adapt to EP tubes of different heights, and can keep the EP tubes warm while adapting to EP tubes of different heights, which can improve the adaptability of the tube rack. This adjustment method requires no tools; simply push the magnetic block 21 by hand. It is simple and quick to operate, and can quickly adapt to EP tubes of different heights, improving the adaptability of the tube rack and meeting the requirements of different experiments for EP tube height, while ensuring good heat preservation for the EP tubes.

[0031] The working principle of the elevated transparent temperature-controlled EP tube rack provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0032] When it is necessary to add samples to a batch of EP tubes, push the limit pin 10 outward, the spring 11 is compressed, and the limit pin 10 is disengaged from the limit hole 8. At this time, rotate the cap 9, and the frame 2 and the orifice plate 3 are tilted through the rotating shaft so that the opening of the EP tube faces outward. Then insert the limit pin 10 into another limit hole 8. The operator can easily complete the sample addition operation without bending over or adjusting the posture, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces operator fatigue. When it is necessary to keep the EP tubes warm, simply insert the card block 15 and the groove 16 under the ice box 14 into the protrusion 13. They can be removed when not needed.

[0033] When it is necessary to accommodate EP tubes of different heights, the sliding magnetic block 21 moves the magnetic sheet 20 under the action of magnetic force, thereby driving the vertical plate 19 to move up or down. The vertical plate 19 then drives the guide plate 18 and the inner pad 17 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the internal height of the ice box 14.

[0034] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[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 and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
