Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of analyzer technology, and more particularly to a modular dilution cup assembly for a specific protein analyzer. Background Technology

[0002] During the detection process of a specific protein analyzer, the concentration of the original sample may be too high, exceeding the instrument's detection range. Therefore, the liquid dispensing mechanism within the analyzer needs to take a certain amount of the original sample and the corresponding diluent into a dilution cup for mixing and dilution. The dilution cup then rotates with the mounting plate within the analyzer. However, existing dilution cups are connected to the mounting plate using a dilution cup holder. This means that several dilution cups are arranged on a single holder. When one dilution cup is damaged and needs replacement, the others cannot be individually detached from the holder; the entire cup set must be replaced. Furthermore, the connection between the dilution cup holder and the mounting plate is fixed, and once installed, the arrangement of the dilution cups cannot be flexibly adjusted. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular dilution cup assembly for a specific protein analyzer, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a modular dilution cup assembly for a specific protein analyzer, used for installation on a mounting plate inside the specific protein analyzer, including a connecting plate and several mounting positions set on the mounting plate. Multiple dilution cups are arranged on one side of the connecting plate, and a connecting structure is provided on the other side of the connecting plate. The connecting structure on the same connecting plate can be installed on any mounting position on the mounting plate.

[0005] Beneficial effects: 1) Since the connection structure of the same connecting plate can correspond to any installation position, there is no fixed correspondence between the installation position of the connecting plate and the installation plate. The same connecting plate can be installed in any installation position as needed, so that the arrangement position of the dilution cups on the installation plate can be flexibly adjusted. In addition, the connecting plate itself is an independent unit that can be disassembled, replaced or recombined separately, which significantly improves adaptability and flexibility.

[0006] 2) The dilution cup and the connecting plate form a group, and the mounting position of the connecting plate and the mounting plate is flexibly compatible; if a single dilution cup is damaged, only the individual cup needs to be replaced, without involving other connecting plates or the entire mounting plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this application, two positioning posts are provided in the mounting position, and two fixing holes are provided between the two positioning posts. The connection structure includes an elliptical adjustment hole and a positioning hole, and two through holes are provided between the positioning hole and the adjustment hole. The positioning posts and the positioning holes are adapted to each other.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By adjusting the hole settings, when there is a machining error in the center distance between the two positioning posts in two adjacent mounting positions, the same connecting plate can be installed at any mounting position on the mounting plate. Similarly, two different connecting plates can also be installed at the same mounting position on the mounting plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a raised boss is provided at the opening of the through hole, the positioning hole, and the adjustment hole, and the raised boss and the connecting plate are integrally connected.

[0010] Beneficial effects: 1) The raised boss at the adjustment hole increases the thickness of the connecting plate at the adjustment hole, thereby increasing the rigidity at the through hole. When fasteners are used to fix the connecting plate and the mounting plate, the pressure applied by the fasteners can be effectively dispersed, reducing the deformation space of the thin plate at this position. This allows the contact between the connecting plate and the mounting plate to be tighter and more stable, while avoiding deformation or damage to the connecting plate when the connecting plate and the mounting plate are fixed by fasteners.

[0011] 2) The raised bosses at the positioning holes and adjustment holes are used to increase the depth of the positioning holes and adjustment holes, and increase the contact area between the connecting plate and the positioning post when the connecting plate is installed on the mounting plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a pick-up plate is provided on the connecting plate, and the pick-up plate is located between the dilution cup and the connecting structure.

[0013] Beneficial effect: When disassembling or installing the connecting plate, the operator holds the plate to keep it relatively balanced during the disassembly or installation process, making it easier for the operator to pick up the connecting plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the dilution cup and the connecting plate are integrally connected and arranged perpendicularly to each other; the dilution cup is provided with a receiving hole, and the opening of each receiving hole is located on the same plane.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The openings of the receiving holes are on the same plane, which can precisely match the movement trajectory of the liquid dispensing mechanism inside the analyzer. This ensures that the liquid dispensing mechanism does not need to adjust the height of each hole individually, reducing the complexity of mechanical control and avoiding collisions between the dispensing tube and the dilution cup due to height differences.

[0016] In addition to the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the advantages brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions as described above, other technical problems that the present invention can solve, other technical features contained in the technical solutions, and the advantages brought about by these technical features will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the modular dilution cup assembly of the specific protein analyzer in this embodiment is used to be installed on the mounting plate 01 inside the specific protein analyzer. The mounting plate 01 is used to be installed inside the specific protein analyzer. The mounting plate 01 is provided with several mounting positions. A connecting plate 02 can be installed on each mounting position. The connecting plate 02 is fan-shaped. Two positioning posts 03 are provided in each mounting position. Two fixing holes 04 are provided between the two positioning posts 03. The fixing holes 04 are internal threaded holes.

[0021] One side of the connecting plate 02 has multiple dilution cups 05 arranged in an arc shape for holding diluted samples. The dilution cups 05 and the connecting plate 02 are integrally connected. The other side of the connecting plate 02 has a connection structure for connecting to the mounting position. The dilution cups 05 and the connecting plate 02 are arranged perpendicular to each other. Each dilution cup 05 has a receiving hole 06, and the opening of each receiving hole 06 is located on the same plane. If the liquid dispensing mechanism in the analyzer has multiple dispensing tubes, the openings of the receiving holes 06 on the same plane can precisely match the movement trajectory of the liquid dispensing mechanism in the analyzer. This ensures that the dispensing mechanism does not need to adjust the height of each hole individually, reducing the complexity of mechanical control, and avoiding collisions between the dispensing tubes and the dilution cups 05 due to height differences.

[0022] The connecting structure includes an elliptical adjustment hole 07 and a positioning hole 08. Two through holes 09 are provided between the positioning hole 08 and the adjustment hole 07. The positioning hole 08 is adapted to the aforementioned positioning post 03. When the connecting plate 02 is installed on the mounting plate 01, the through hole 09 and the fixing hole 04 are aligned. One of the fixing holes 04 on the mounting plate 01 is inserted into the positioning hole 08, and the other positioning post 03 is inserted into the adjustment post. Then, fasteners are threaded through the through hole 09 and the fixing hole 04, thereby fixing the connecting plate 02 onto the mounting plate 01.

[0023] Because there is a machining error in the center distance between two positioning posts 03 in two adjacent mounting positions when assembling the positioning posts 03 and the mounting plate 01, for example, the mounting plate 01 has ten mounting positions, numbered as mounting position 1, mounting position 2, etc. The center distance between two positioning posts 03 in mounting position 1 is h1, and the center distance between two positioning posts 03 in mounting position 2 is h2. Due to the machining error, the center distances h1 and h2 are not equal. Therefore, an adjustment hole 07 is provided on the connecting plate 02. When there is a machining error in the center distance between two positioning posts 03 in two adjacent mounting positions, the same connecting plate 02 can be installed at any mounting position on the mounting plate 01. Similarly, two different connecting plates 02 can also be installed at the same mounting position on the mounting plate 01.

[0024] A raised platform 10 is provided at the opening of the through hole 09, the positioning hole 08, and the adjustment hole 07. The raised platform 10 is integrally connected with the connecting plate 02. The raised platform 10 at the adjustment hole 07 increases the thickness of the connecting plate 02 at the adjustment hole 07, thereby increasing the rigidity at the through hole 09. When the connecting plate 02 and the mounting plate 01 are fixed with fasteners, the pressure applied by the fasteners can be effectively distributed, reducing the deformation space of the thin plate at this position. This allows the contact between the connecting plate 02 and the mounting plate 01 to be tighter and more stable, while preventing the connecting plate 02 from deforming or being damaged when the connecting plate 02 and the mounting plate 01 are fixed with fasteners.

[0025] The raised bosses 10 at the positioning hole 08 and the adjustment hole 07 are used to increase the depth of the positioning hole 08 and the adjustment hole 07, and increase the contact area between the connecting plate 02 and the positioning post 03 when the connecting plate 02 is installed on the mounting plate 01.

[0026] A pick-up plate 11 is provided on the connecting plate 02, located between the dilution cup 05 and the connecting structure. Since multiple dilution cups 05 are arranged on the connecting plate 02, the overall center of gravity of the connecting plate 02 is closer to the dilution cups 05. Therefore, when disassembling the connecting plate 02, the operator holds the pick-up plate 11 and loosens the fasteners securing the connecting plate 02 and the mounting plate 01, maintaining relative balance of the connecting plate 02 during disassembly. After the fasteners are removed from the through hole 09, the operator can also hold the pick-up plate 11 to remove the connecting plate 02 from the mounting plate 01, facilitating the operator's handling of the connecting plate 02.

[0027] If the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Any modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
