Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bioengineering equipment technology, specifically a portable microbial mass spectrometer target plate transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] A mass spectrometer target plate is a fundamental component of a microbial mass spectrometer, used to hold bacteria for mass spectrometry identification experiments. The main purpose of a mass spectrometer target plate transfer device is to safely transfer the target plate from the laboratory workbench to the mass spectrometer inlet.

[0003] Mass spectrometer target plates are mainly transferred by laboratory personnel by hand to a drying oven for heating before being transferred to the mass spectrometer inlet. Simple mass spectrometer target plate transfer devices are non-sealed containers and cannot quickly dry the matrix solution. Taking the target plate out to dry in the drying oven may cause sample contamination and personnel infection. Rapid drying of the matrix solution and sealed transfer of the target plate cannot be performed simultaneously. Currently available mass spectrometer target plate transfer devices have simple structures and single functions, and cannot meet experimental requirements in a timely manner. Utility Model Content

[0015] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a portable target plate transfer device for a microbial mass spectrometer, including a base 1, with symmetrical moving slots 2 on both outer surfaces of the base 1, and further including: Heating mechanism 3 is fixedly installed inside base 1; The heating mechanism 3 includes a hinge seat 31, which is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the base 1. A cover 32 is hinged to the hinge seat 31. A sealing ring 33 is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the middle part of the base 1. When the cover 32 is closed, it is fixedly inserted into the sealing ring 33. An installation cavity 34 is opened inside the base 1. An installation seat 35 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the installation cavity 34. A heating tube 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation seat 35.

[0016] A controller 37 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting cavity 34. A touch screen 38 is fixedly embedded on the upper edge of the base 1. A housing 39 is fixedly embedded on the side surface of the base 1. A battery 310 is fixedly installed inside the housing 39. A relay 311 is also fixedly installed inside the housing 39. A charging port 312 is fixedly connected through the outer surface of the housing 39.

[0017] A waterproof strip 313 is pressed and bonded to the outer edge of the touch display screen 38. The waterproof strip 313 is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the base 1. A temperature sensor 314 is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the mounting base 35.

[0018] The target plate fixing mechanism 4 is fixedly embedded in the upper middle surface of the base 1; The target plate fixing mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41, which is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the base 1. The mounting frame 41 is located inside the cover 32, and the bottom surface of the mounting frame 41 is attached to the upper surface of the mounting base 35. The top of the temperature sensor 314 is also attached to the mounting frame 41, and the temperature sensor 314 monitors the internal temperature of the heating tube 36 and the mounting frame 41.

[0019] Slide rods 42 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of both sides of the mounting frame 41. The two ends of the slide rods 42 are symmetrically slidably connected to clamps 43. The side of the clamps 43 that is far apart from each other is elastically connected to the inner surface of the mounting frame 41 by a spring. Slide grooves 44 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom inner surface of the mounting frame 41. Limiting rods 45 are fixedly connected in the slide grooves 44. The two ends of the limiting rods 45 are symmetrically slidably connected to slide plates 46 by springs.
