Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipette technology, and relates to pipette tips, especially a quick box packer for pipette tips. Background Technology
[0002] Pipette tips, as indispensable consumables in laboratories, are precision plastic products used in conjunction with pipettes. Their main function is to aspirate and release minute amounts of liquid, thereby achieving quantitative transfer of solutions. Pipette tips are typically made of inert materials such as polypropylene to ensure no contamination of experimental samples. Depending on specifications and applications, pipette tips can be classified into various types, such as standard, filter-equipped, and low-residue types, to meet different experimental needs. Correct selection and use of pipette tips are crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. Pipette tips require packaging during storage and transportation.
[0003] However, most existing laboratories rely on manual insertion of pipette tips, which is inefficient, introduces contamination risks, poses health hazards, results in inconsistent packaging quality, and leads to accidental losses and waste. Manual packaging is not only time-consuming (typically 2-5 minutes to fill a 96-well box), but the operator's hands are also a significant source of contamination, potentially leading to unreliable results in molecular biology experiments. Furthermore, repetitive hand movements negatively impact the operator's health, potentially causing fatigue and discomfort, thus reducing job satisfaction. Fatigue and negligence during operation can result in inaccurate tip insertion, affecting the quality of subsequent experiments. Additionally, tips are prone to falling during handling and movement, causing resource waste. These factors collectively highlight the numerous shortcomings of manual pipette tip insertion in laboratories, thus necessitating a solution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rapid box-packing device for pipette tips. The technical problems to be solved by this invention are: low overall efficiency of manual plugging, easy introduction of contamination risks, harm to human health, unstable boxing quality, and accidental loss and waste.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A quick-loading device for pipette tips includes a storage box. A vial amplifier is located on the top of the storage box, and a main tray is located on the top of the vial amplifier. Multiple slides are provided on the top of the main tray, and a slot is provided on the side of the main tray near the vial amplifier. A multi-functional plate is slidably connected inside the slot. Gates are provided at the ends of the slides near the multi-functional plate, and these gates cooperate with the multi-functional plate. A fixing comb is slidably connected to the bottom of the main tray near the vial amplifier, and the fixing comb cooperates with the vial amplifier. The design of the main tray comprehensively improves the tip loading experience and usage effectiveness.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two support plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the main plate, and multiple sliding grooves are opened on one side of each of the two support plates, and the fixed comb is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top of the storage box is provided with multiple storage holes, and the top of the hole position amplifier is provided with magnifying holes on the side of the multiple storage holes. The storage holes, magnifying holes, fixed comb, and slide are arranged in coordination with each other. The magnifying holes are set according to the storage holes, so as to ensure that the suction head can enter the storage holes more quickly and accurately.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a partition plate is provided inside the main plate, and a groove is opened at the bottom of the partition plate near the multiple slides, and the groove is configured to cooperate with the slides.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The main tray features multiple optimized designs that comprehensively enhance the tip loading experience and usability. It not only increases in size to accommodate more different tip holder sizes, but also changes the flip-top design to a gate design to simplify parts and operations. The number of fixing combs has increased from 8 to 9, and the gate now also functions as a fixing plate. Combined with the newly added sliding arc, this ensures precise fixing and stable positioning of each row of tips, allowing for smoother tip sliding. It also enables efficient processing of large batches of tips in a short time, significantly reducing the time cost of manual loading and the risk of muscle strain from repetitive operations. Furthermore, it prevents tips from directly contacting contaminants, reducing the probability of cross-contamination and ensuring aseptic operation. This allows tips to be accurately and neatly inserted into the well positions, guaranteeing consistent loading quality and subsequent pipetting accuracy. It also reduces accidental losses such as tip breakage and falling due to manual operation errors, lowering experimental consumable costs and further protecting the health and safety of laboratory personnel.

[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0013] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 A quick-loading device for pipette tips includes a storage box 1, a hole level amplifier 2 on the top of the storage box 1, a main plate 3 on the top of the hole level amplifier 2, multiple slides 301 on the top of the main plate 3, a slot 307 on the top side of the main plate 3 near the hole level amplifier 2, a multi-functional plate 5 slidably connected inside the slot 307, and gates 304 on the ends of the multiple slides 301 near the multi-functional plate 5, with the gates 304 and the multi-functional plate 5 working together. A fixed comb 4 is slidably connected to the bottom of the main plate 3 near the hole level amplifier 2. The fixed comb 4 can separate the pipette tips to achieve uniform arrangement. The fixed comb 4 and the hole level amplifier 2 work together to comprehensively improve the pipette tip loading experience and usage effect.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the main plate 3 is symmetrically fixedly connected to two support plates 305. Each of the two support plates 305 has multiple grooves 306 on one side. The fixed comb 4 is slidably connected inside the grooves 306. The position of the fixed comb 4 can be positioned by setting the grooves 306.
[0015] Furthermore, the top of the storage box 1 has multiple storage holes 101, and the top of the hole position amplifier 2 near the multiple storage holes 101 has magnifying holes 201. The storage holes 101, magnifying holes 201, fixed comb 4, and slide 301 are arranged in coordination with each other. The magnifying holes 201 are set according to the storage holes 101, so as to ensure that the suction head can enter the storage hole 101 more quickly and accurately.
[0016] Preferably, the main plate 3 is provided with a partition plate 302 inside. The bottom of the partition plate 302 near the multiple slide rails 301 is provided with a slot 303, and the slot 303 is configured to cooperate with the slide rails 301. The main plate 3 can be divided by the partition plate 302.
[0017] Working Principle: In use, first insert the multi-functional board 5 into the slot 307. Multiple slides 301 are provided inside the main plate 3, and each slide 301 has a gate 304 at its end near the slot 307. The gate 304 allows the suction head to detach from the main plate 3, and the multi-functional board 5 can close the gate 304 to prevent the suction head from falling off during cleaning. After the gate 304 is closed, pour the suction head into the main plate 3, and then tilt it several times around the center of the main plate 3 to allow the suction head to automatically slide into the slide 301. Because the suction head has a top-heavy structure, after sliding into the slide 301, it can be hung inside the slide 301 by its upper part. Once the suction head has finished cleaning... Next, tilt the main plate 3 towards the gate 304 so that the suction head is close to the gate 304. Then insert the fixing comb 4 to separate the suction heads and achieve even distribution. After the suction heads are separated, pull out the multi-functional plate 5 and cover the suction heads horizontally to further fix them. After fixing, insert the suction head into the storage hole 101. Above the storage hole 101, there is a hole position amplifier 2. The magnification hole 201 on the hole position amplifier 2 is set according to the storage hole 101, so as to ensure that the suction head can enter the storage hole 101 more quickly and accurately. After insertion, pull out the fixing comb 4, remove the multi-functional plate 5, and pull out the main plate 3. The suction head loading is now complete.
[0018] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
