Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protein blotting instrument technology, specifically to a test tube clamping mechanism for a protein blotting instrument. Background Technology

[0002] A Western blotting instrument is a core device for protein separation, detection, and quantitative analysis, widely used in biological and medical research and antibody development. Existing Western blotting instruments generally include a material mixing device, such as the one described in publication number CN220940350U. This device uses two clamps to hold the test tubes, preventing reagents from shifting or detaching from the placement slots. However, this device has certain requirements regarding the diameter of the clamped test tubes. When the test tube diameter is significantly smaller or larger than the diameter of the space formed between the two clamps, it is obviously unsuitable, limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention provides a test tube clamping mechanism for a protein blot instrument to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. This test tube clamping mechanism can clamp more test tubes of different diameters.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the test tube clamping mechanism of the protein blot instrument of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] The device includes a base, a clamping plate, and an upper shell cover vertically slidably connected to the base. The base has multiple clamping hole groups arranged in a matrix. Each clamping hole group includes clamping holes and adjustment holes located on the sides of the clamping holes. The adjustment holes communicate with the clamping holes. The upper shell cover has an inlet corresponding to the clamping hole groups. The clamping plate is located within the clamping holes, and a horizontal slider is connected to its side. The horizontal slider is slidably connected to the adjustment holes. A guide seat is connected above the horizontal slider. The guide seat has a sliding groove that slopes upwards from the adjustment holes towards the clamping holes. A slider seat matching the sliding groove is connected below the upper shell cover. The slider seat is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A control mechanism for controlling the up-and-down movement of the upper shell cover is connected to the base.

[0006] The base has six clamping holes arranged in a matrix, and the corresponding upper cover also has six inlets.

[0007] The upper shell cover has two vertical guide rods connected to both the left and right sides; the base has four vertical sliding holes corresponding to the four vertical guide rods; the four vertical guide rods are vertically slidably connected to the four vertical sliding holes.

[0008] The control mechanism includes a pump body installed below the base; a telescopic rod is connected to the pump body; the upper end of the telescopic rod passes through the base and is connected to the upper shell cover.

[0009] The sidewalls of the clamping holes and the clamping plate are all connected with soft rubber strips.

[0010] The technical effect that this utility model can achieve is: the test tube clamping mechanism of the protein blot instrument of this utility model controls the upper shell cover to move up and down through the control mechanism. During the up and down movement of the upper shell cover, the clamping plate is pushed to move laterally left and right through the cooperation of the slider seat and the sliding groove. When in use, the test tube is placed in the clamping hole, and the test tubes of different diameters can be pressed into the clamping hole by the lateral movement of the clamping plate.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 10 .

[0024] A test tube clamping mechanism for a protein blot instrument includes a base 1, a clamping plate 11, and an upper shell cover 12 vertically slidably connected to the base 1. Specifically, two vertical guide rods 21 are connected to the left and right sides of the upper shell cover 12, and four vertical sliding holes 22 are opened on the base 1, which correspond to the four vertical guide rods 21 respectively. The four vertical guide rods 21 are vertically slidably connected to the four vertical sliding holes 22 respectively.

[0025] The base 1 has multiple clamping hole groups arranged in a matrix. Specifically, the base 1 has six clamping hole groups arranged in a matrix. The clamping hole group includes clamping holes 2 and adjustment holes 3 located on the side of the clamping holes 2. The adjustment holes 3 communicate with the clamping holes 2. The upper cover 12 has inlets 4 corresponding to the clamping hole groups. The upper cover 12 also has six inlets 4.

[0026] The clamping plate 11 is located inside the clamping hole 2, and a horizontal slider 5 is connected to the side of the clamping plate 11. The horizontal slider 5 is slidably connected to the adjustment hole 3. A guide seat 6 is connected above the horizontal slider 5. A groove 7 is provided on the guide seat 6 that is inclined upward from the adjustment hole 3 to the clamping hole 2. A slider seat 8 that matches the groove 7 is connected below the upper cover 12. The slider seat 8 is slidably connected to the groove 7. A control mechanism for controlling the up and down movement of the upper cover 12 is connected to the base 1. Specifically, the control mechanism includes a pump body 31 installed below the base 1. A telescopic rod 32 is connected to the pump body 31. The upper end of the telescopic rod 32 passes through the base 1 and is connected to the upper cover 12. Preferably, soft rubber strips 41 are connected to the side wall of the clamping hole 2 and the clamping plate 11.

[0027] This invention controls the vertical movement of the upper cover 12 by extending and retracting the telescopic rod 32 through the pump body 31. During the vertical movement of the upper cover 12, the upper cover 12 pushes the horizontal slider 5 and the clamping plate 11 to move laterally through the cooperation of the slider seat 8 and the sliding groove 7. Specifically, when the upper cover 12 moves upward, the slider seat 8 and the clamping plate 11 move to the left (i.e., the slider seat 8 and the clamping plate 11 move away from the clamping hole 2); and when the upper cover 12 moves downward, the slider seat 8 and the clamping plate 11 move to the right (i.e., the slider seat 8 and the clamping plate 11 move closer to the soft rubber strip 41 of the clamping hole 2). This invention controls the distance between the clamping plate 11 and the right side wall of the clamping hole 2 by extending and retracting the telescopic rod 32 through the pump body 31, thereby clamping test tubes 51 of different diameters. The soft rubber strip 41 helps to clamp the test tubes 51, making it less likely to damage them.
