[0002] Nucleotide analysis gel columns, or simply clips, are mainly used in fully automated DNA / RNA analysis systems for the automated analysis of samples with high sensitivity and high analysis rate of macromolecules such as DNA or RNA. They are primarily used for genetic disease screening, DNA fingerprinting analysis, and pathogen detection and analysis.

[0003] During the production of the clamp, two anodes need to be pressed into each central bracket. The anodes need to be fitted with sealing rings before being pressed into both ends of the central bracket. The diameter of the anodes and the size of the sealing rings are both small. During the process of fitting the sealing rings onto the anodes, the anodes need to be pinched with one hand and the sealing rings with the other hand to fit the sealing rings onto the anodes and fix the sealing rings at one-third of the anode. This makes the process of fitting the sealing rings onto the anodes time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a tooling for an anode sleeve sealing ring, which solves the technical problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive processes in the prior art for anode sleeve sealing ring production.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the movable member has a mounting post connected to the scraper, the mounting post extending in the second direction, and the third baffle has a through hole extending in the second direction, the mounting post passing through the through hole.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the scraper extends in the second direction and has a first end face and a second end face located at both ends of the second direction, one of the first end face and the second end face being in contact with the first baffle and the other being in contact with the second baffle.

[0023] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments, and the operational steps involved in each embodiment can also be rearranged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a particular embodiment and do not imply that they represent the necessary components and / or order.

[0024] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning.

[0025] During the production of the clamp, the anode 5 needs to be fitted with the sealing ring 6 before being pressed into the central support (not shown in the figure). The anode 5 is a cylindrical structure with a diameter ranging from 1.495mm to 1.505mm. The sealing ring 6 is a circular sealing ring with an inner diameter ranging from 1.07mm to 1.27mm and a wire diameter ranging from 0.97mm to 1.07mm. Because both the anode 5 and the sealing ring 6 are relatively small, in existing technology, they are typically handled by placing them on the assembly worker's fingertips. After repeated assembly, this can cause finger pain for the assembly worker, and the assembly process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, when fitting the sealing ring 6 onto the anode 5, it is necessary to ensure that the sealing ring 6 is fitted at one-third of the anode 5's length, which increases the assembly requirements for the worker.

[0026] To address the aforementioned problems, this application discloses a tooling for an anode sleeve sealing ring, hereinafter referred to as the tooling, please refer to it. Figures 1 to 3 The tooling includes a base 1 with a mounting surface 11 facing upwards. The mounting surface 11 has multiple grooves 12. The outer contour of each groove 12 can be circular, or it can be a rectangle, ellipse, or similar shape that matches the outer contour of the sealing ring 6. Adjacent grooves 12 are spaced apart. The dimensions of each groove 12 are matched to the outer contour dimensions of the sealing ring 6. The diameter of each groove 12 can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sealing ring 6, allowing the sealing ring 6 to fall into the groove 12 during movement relative to the mounting surface 11. The bottom wall of each groove 12 has a mounting hole 13. The mounting hole 13 can be circular, or it can be a square or elliptical hole that matches the outer contour of the anode 5. The outer diameter of the mounting hole 13 is larger than the outer diameter of the anode 5, ensuring that the anode 5 can be smoothly inserted into the mounting hole 13 and that the sealing ring 6 can be smoothly removed from the mounting hole 13 after being fitted with the anode 5. The depth of the mounting hole 13 is a preset depth, which depends on the specific position of the sealing ring 6 on the anode 5. For example, if the sealing ring 6 is fitted on the anode 5 and is located at one-third of the length of the anode 5, the preset depth is one-third of the length of the anode 5.

[0027] With the tooling for fitting sealing rings to anodes according to this application, during the process of fitting sealing rings 6 to anodes 5, assembly workers can first place multiple sealing rings 6 in multiple grooves 12 on the mounting surface 11, then insert the anode 5 into the mounting hole 13 on the bottom wall of the groove 12 containing the sealing ring 6, and apply external force to make the anode 5 contact the bottom wall of the mounting hole 13, thus ensuring the sealing ring 6 is fitted onto the anode 5 at a specific position. Finally, the anode 5 with the sealing ring 6 fitted is removed from the mounting hole 13, realizing the assembly of sealing rings 6 and anodes 5 in batches. Compared with the existing assembly method in which assembly workers hold the sealing ring 6 with one hand and the anode 5 with the other to fit the sealing ring 6 onto the anode 5, the method of assembling anodes 5 and sealing rings 6 in batches using this tooling in this application helps to reduce the labor intensity of assembly workers, improve the efficiency of assembling anodes 5 and sealing rings 6, and also reduce the assembly requirements for assembly workers.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting surface 11 is a rectangular or square surface, and multiple grooves 12 are arranged in a rectangular array on the mounting surface 11; or in other embodiments, the mounting surface 11 is a circular surface, and multiple grooves 12 are arranged in a circular array on the mounting surface 11. In one embodiment, there are 100 grooves 12, which is sufficient to achieve batch assembly of the anode 5 and the sealing ring 6 in one go.

[0029] During the process of placing the sealing ring 6 into the groove 12, the assembly worker can scatter multiple sealing rings 6 on the mounting surface 11 and shake the fixture to make the multiple sealing rings 6 fall into the corresponding grooves 12. To prevent the sealing rings 6 from falling off the mounting surface 11 during the shaking of the fixture, in some embodiments, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tooling has a enclosure structure 22, which is connected to the base 1. The enclosure structure 22 surrounds the base 1 and forms a receiving groove with the base 1. The mounting surface 11 forms the bottom surface of the receiving groove. The sealing ring 6 can be prevented from falling off the mounting surface 11 by the enclosure structure 22.

[0030] Specifically, in some embodiments, the enclosure structure 22 has a first baffle 221 and a second baffle 222 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, and a third baffle 223 connecting the first baffle 221 and the second baffle 222. The third baffle 223 is located at the end of the first baffle 221 in a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Both the first and second directions are perpendicular to the height direction of the tooling during use, that is, both are perpendicular to the normal extension direction of the mounting surface 11. The base 1 and the mounting surface 11 are both rectangular. The first direction is the width direction of the rectangle, and the second direction is the length direction of the rectangle. The tooling can be swung back and forth in the first direction to increase the probability that the sealing ring 6 falls into the groove 12.

[0031] Alternatively, the fixture can be swung back and forth in the second direction to allow the sealing ring 6 to fall into the corresponding groove 12. To prevent the sealing ring 6 that has not fallen into the groove 12 from falling from the mounting surface 11 onto the workbench or the ground, please refer to some embodiments. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The tooling also has a receiving groove 31, which is located on the side of the base 1 away from the third baffle 223 in the second direction. The receiving groove 31 is used to store the sealing ring 6. During the process of reciprocating the tooling in the second direction, the sealing ring 6 that does not fall into the groove 12 will fall from the mounting surface 11 into the receiving groove 31, so that multiple sealing rings 6 can be collected through the receiving groove 31.

[0032] In some embodiments, to satisfy the above structure, please continue to refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The tooling includes a base 2 and a receiving component 3. A retaining structure 22 is located on the base 2. The base 2 has an installation cavity formed by the retaining structure 22. The base 1 and the receiving component 3 are both located in the installation cavity. The base 1 and the receiving component 3 are arranged in the second direction. A receiving groove 31 is located on the receiving component 3. The receiving component 3 has an end face flush with the mounting surface 11 to facilitate the receiving groove 31 to receive the sealing ring 6 that falls from the mounting surface 11.

[0033] Specifically, the base 2 includes a base plate 21 and a surrounding structure 22. The surrounding structure 22 is connected above the base plate 21 and forms an installation cavity with the base plate 21. The base plate 21 has a first support surface 211 and a second support surface 212 with different heights. The height of the first support surface 211 is higher than the height of the second support surface 212. The first support surface 211 and the second support surface 212 are arranged in a second direction to form a stepped surface on the base plate 21. The base 1 is installed on the first support surface 211. The installation method can be adhesive or screw connection. The size of the base 1 matches the size of the first support surface 211. The top surface of the base 1 opposite to the first support surface 211 in the vertical direction is the installation surface 11. The receiving member 3 is a rectangular block structure. The receiving member 3 has a recessed groove with the groove opening facing upward to form a receiving groove 31. The receiving member 3 can be installed on the second support surface 212 by adhesive or screw. The bottom size of the receiving member 3 matches the size of the second support surface 212.

[0034] The opening of the receiving groove 31 is flush with the mounting surface 11 so that the sealing ring 6 on the mounting surface 11 can fall into the receiving groove 31; or in other embodiments, the opening of the receiving groove 31 may be lower than the mounting surface 11, so that the sealing ring 6 on the mounting surface 11 can fall into the receiving groove 31.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the enclosure structure 22 includes a first baffle 221, a second baffle 222, and a third baffle 223. A receiving groove 31 or an opening is provided only on one side in the second direction, allowing the sealing rings 6 to fall into the receiving groove 31 or onto the workbench during the reciprocating motion of the tooling in the second direction. In some embodiments, the enclosure structure 22 can also be a closed structure surrounding the base 1, including a first baffle and a second baffle arranged opposite each other in the first direction, and a third baffle and a fourth baffle arranged opposite each other in the second direction. Two adjacent baffles are connected, and the four baffles are integrally formed with the base plate to form an enclosure cavity. The base 1 is located within the enclosure cavity and mounted on the base plate 21. The four baffles are connected to the base 1 via the base plate 21. Multiple sealing rings 6 are on the mounting surface 11 of the base 1. As the tooling reciprocates, the sealing rings 6 fall into the corresponding grooves 12. The four baffles can prevent the sealing rings 6 in the receiving groove from falling onto the workbench or the ground.

[0036] In some embodiments, the receiving slot 31 can be omitted from the tooling. In a structure where the enclosure structure 22 only includes the first baffle 221, the second baffle 222, and the third baffle 223, multiple sealing rings 6 are stacked on the assembly workbench, and the workbench receives the sealing rings 6 that fall from the mounting surface 11 during the reciprocating shaking of the base 1. Alternatively, in a structure where the enclosure structure includes four baffles, multiple sealing rings are located in a receiving groove formed by the enclosure structure and the base plate. The receiving groove can be used to collect excess sealing rings 6, and the four baffles, i.e., the sidewalls of the receiving groove, prevent the sealing rings 6 from falling onto the workbench or the ground.

[0037] During the process of shaking the fixture to make the sealing ring 6 fall into the corresponding groove 12, multiple sealing rings 6 may stack on top of the groove 12, affecting the assembly of the anode 5 and the sealing ring 6. The excess sealing rings 6 stacked on top of the groove 12 and the sealing rings 6 that have not fallen into the groove 12 can be brushed away by the assembly worker to facilitate the assembly of the anode 5 and the sealing ring 6.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The tooling also includes a movable part 4, which is mounted on the base 1 or the enclosure structure 22. The movable part 4 can reciprocate relative to the base 1 in a second direction. The movable part 4 has a scraper 42, which has a side that fits against the mounting surface 11. When there are too many sealing rings 6 on the mounting surface 11, resulting in multiple sealing rings 6 stacking above the groove 12, the movable part 4 can be reciprocated. The scraper 42 pushes the excess sealing rings 6 stacked above the groove 12 and the sealing rings 6 that have not fallen into the groove 12 to the receiving groove 31 or the worktable, or to the side of the receiving groove near one of the groove walls, so that the sealing rings 6 that have fallen into the groove 12 are exposed, which facilitates the assembly of the anode 5.

[0039] In some embodiments, the movable component 4 has a mounting post 41 connected to the scraper 42, the mounting post 41 extending in the second direction, and the third baffle 223 having a through hole extending in the second direction. The mounting post 41 passes through the through hole and has an operating end 412 and a connecting end 411 located at both ends of its extending direction. The connecting end 411 is located within the space enclosed by the enclosure structure 22. The scraper 42 is connected to the connecting end 411, and the operating end 412 is suspended outside the enclosure structure 22. The assembly worker can hold the operating end 412 to push and pull the movable component 4, realizing the reciprocating movement of the movable component 4 and the scraper 42 relative to the mounting surface 11 in the second direction. For example, if the assembly worker holds the operating end 412 to push the movable component 4, the scraper 42 on the movable component 4 will push the excess sealing ring 6 and the sealing ring 6 that has not fallen into the groove 12 to the receiving groove 31 or the workbench, or to the side near the fourth baffle; pulling the movable component 4 will reset the movable component 4.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The scraper 42 is arranged perpendicular to the second direction. The scraper 42 has a first end face and a second end face located at both ends of the second direction. One of the first end face and the second end face is in contact with the first baffle 221, and the other is in contact with the second baffle 222. In this way, the scraper 42 is guided to reciprocate through the first baffle 221 and the second baffle 222, ensuring that the scraper 42 can only reciprocate in the second direction. It also ensures that during the process of pushing the scraper 42, all excess sealing rings 6 and sealing rings 6 that do not fall into the groove 12 can be pushed to the receiving groove 31, the worktable, or the side near the fourth baffle.

[0041] In some embodiments, to improve the guiding performance of the scraper 42 during reciprocating movement in the second direction, grooves can be provided on the first baffle 221 and the second baffle 222. The grooves extend in the second direction, with the groove on the first baffle 221 located on the side of the first baffle 221 facing the second baffle 222, and the groove on the second baffle 222 located on the side of the second baffle 222 facing the first baffle 221. Slider blocks are respectively provided at both ends of the scraper 42 in the first direction, and the sliders are located within the grooves. The grooves allow the sliders and the entire scraper 42 to reciprocate only in the second direction, improving the guiding performance of the moving member 4 during reciprocating movement in the second direction. In other embodiments, the grooves can also be provided on the base 1, with grooves provided on both sides of the base 1 in the first direction, located on both sides of the groove 12 in the first direction.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting post 41 can be omitted, and the guide of the moving part 4 in the second direction can be ensured by the cooperation of the slide and the slider. The assembler can manually drive the scraper 42 to move back and forth in the second direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, the movable part 4 in the tooling can also be separately set from the base 1 and the base 2. The movable part 4 only includes a scraper 42. After shaking the tooling to make multiple sealing rings 6 fall into the corresponding grooves 12, the assembly worker can hold the scraper 42 in the first direction to push the excess sealing rings 6 stacked on the mounting surface 11 above the grooves 12 and the sealing rings 6 that have not fallen into the grooves 12 to the receiving groove 31, the workbench surface or the side near the fourth baffle.

[0044] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
