Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing equipment technology, specifically to a rotary mixing and remelting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary mixer, also known as a rotary homogenizer, is a common laboratory device used for mixing, shaking, or vortexing small amounts of liquid samples. It achieves rapid and homogeneous mixing of samples by causing sample containers (such as centrifuge tubes, test tubes, and microplates) to move in various patterns.

[0003] In existing technologies, when connecting a tray used to hold samples to equipment, the tray is usually fixed by bolts at both ends to the two connectors of the equipment. However, bolt connection requires holding the bolts and aligning the two threads, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, during long-term rotation and vibration of the tray, the bolts are prone to falling off, creating a potential hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a rotary mixing and remelting machine. This solution allows for the automatic adjustment of the clamping distance between two joints on the machine via a movable side plate, thereby enabling the fixing and release of the tray. It is easy to operate and can form a stable connection.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A rotary mixing and reconstitution machine, comprising:

[0007] The frame has a control box and a side plate on both sides of the clamping space. A rotary output end extends from the side wall of the control box. A sliding joint is coaxially provided on the rotary output end, and the sliding joint can rotate synchronously with the rotary output end. A rotary joint is provided on the side plate. The rotary joint can rotate freely around its own axis and is coaxially provided with the sliding joint.

[0008] The driving component is slidably connected to the bottom of the clamping space, and is used to drive the side plate to move along the axial direction of the sliding joint and the rotary joint;

[0009] The tray has insertion ends at both ends, which are respectively adapted to the insertion holes of the rotary joint and the sliding joint; the insertion hole of the sliding joint has an electromagnet for attracting the insertion ends of the tray.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies that use bolt connections, which require manually holding the bolts and aligning the two threads, making the connection inconvenient and prone to bolt detachment during prolonged rotation and vibration of the tray, posing a potential hazard, this invention provides a rotary mixing and reconstitution machine. This solution uses a movable side plate to automatically change the clamping distance between the two joints on the machine, thus fixing and releasing the tray. It is easy to operate and provides a stable connection. Specifically, the solution includes a frame, a drive unit, and a tray. The frame has a control box and side plates on either side. The control box contains a motor with output torque and a control terminal. The motor's rotation output extends into the control box to drive the tray to rotate and vibrate, mixing the solutions in several test tubes on the tray. The control terminal has individual buttons and knobs, as well as a display screen, for controlling the rotation process and automatically controlling the electromagnet's power supply and the drive of the rotary motor. The lower end of the other side plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the equipment to adjust the clamping distance. In use, first insert one end of the tray into the rotary joint to achieve free rotation. Then, control the drive to move the side plate towards the control box until the other end of the tray is inserted into the sliding joint and abuts against the electromagnet. At this time, control the electromagnet to be energized to achieve stable adsorption and fixation, completing the connection of the tray. Then, control the rotary output end to drive the tray to rotate and mix evenly.

[0011] For further optimization and to achieve precise displacement control, the driving component is a rotary motor, which is fixed to the frame outside the side plate. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to a screw, the screw threaded through the side plate. Because the bottom of the side plate is slidably limited, it can move in a straight line under the screw drive.

[0012] To further optimize the operation and ensure stable rotation at the other end of the screw, the control box sidewall is equipped with a bearing housing that connects to the end of the screw.

[0013] Further optimization, to make the side plate movement more stable, includes a slide rod arranged parallel to and alongside the screw. Both ends of the slide rod are fixed, and it slides through the side plate. The slide rod is not visible, but it is positioned parallel to the screw on the other side. One end of the slide rod is fixed to an upwardly protruding connecting block, and the other end is fixed to the control box. It slides through the side plate to guide the sliding of the side plate.

[0014] For further optimization, to achieve a stable sliding connection, a dovetail block is provided at the lower end of the side plate, and a dovetail groove adapted to the dovetail block is provided at the bottom of the clamping space.

[0015] In a further optimization, as a specific structure of a sliding joint, the sliding joint is sleeve-shaped, with one end of the sliding joint sleeved on the rotary output end and the other end of the sliding joint extending out of the rotary output end; the electromagnet is fixed to the end of the rotary output end.

[0016] Further optimization involves extending the extension length of the sliding joint to facilitate quick hand release for operators. One end of the sliding joint has several longitudinal sliders circumferentially arranged along its length. The circumferential sidewall of the rotary output end has several elongated grooves, with each longitudinal slider slidingly connected to a corresponding groove. In this design, one end of the sliding joint is slidably connected to the rotary output end via several longitudinal sliders and elongated grooves, ensuring the sliding joint can only slide along the length of the rotary output end and rotate synchronously with it. During initial tray connection, after inserting one end of the tray into the rotary joint, the sliding joint can be manually pulled out, allowing the other end of the tray to be temporarily fixed within the sliding joint. This allows the operator to release their hands and control the rotary motor to reduce the clamping distance.

[0017] Further optimization involves a specific structure for the rotary joint, which is sleeve-shaped with a cylindrical head on the sidewall of the side plate. One end of the rotary joint is rotatably fitted onto the cylindrical head, while the other end extends beyond it. A flexible friction ring is circumferentially arranged on the inner side of the other end of the rotary joint, with an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the tray insertion end. In this design, one end of the rotary joint may have a circumferential slider, and the cylindrical head sidewall has a circumferential groove to allow free rotation of the rotary joint. A flexible friction ring is embedded on the inner side of the other end of the rotary joint. This flexible friction ring can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the tray insertion end. Thus, when the tray insertion end is inserted into the rotary joint, the flexible friction ring presses against the outer side of the insertion end to increase friction, effectively preventing the tray insertion end from sliding out and falling off.

[0018] In a further optimization, to guide the tray insertion end, the flexible friction ring has an enlarged diameter section for guidance in the direction toward the other end of the rotary joint.

[0019] To achieve further optimization and flexible contact between the insertion end and the web, the rotary joint has a web in the middle position inside, and a flexible pad is provided on the side of the web facing the other end of the rotary joint.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0021] This utility model provides a rotary mixing and remelting machine. Using this solution, the clamping distance between the two joints on the machine can be automatically changed through the movable side plate to complete the fixing and release of the tray. It is easy to operate and can form a stable connection. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0032] Example: This example provides a rotary mixer for remelting, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes:

[0033] The frame has a control box and a side plate 2 on both sides of the clamping space. A rotary output end 7 extends from the side wall of the control box. A sliding joint 4 is coaxially provided on the rotary output end 7, and the sliding joint 4 can rotate synchronously with the rotary output end 7. A rotary joint 3 is provided on the side plate 2. The rotary joint 3 can rotate freely around its own axis and is coaxially provided with the sliding joint 4.

[0034] The driving component 5 is slidably connected to the side plate 2 and the bottom of the clamping space. The driving component 5 is used to drive the side plate 2 to move along the axial direction of the sliding joint 4 and the rotary joint 3.

[0035] The tray 1 has insertion ends at both ends, which are respectively adapted to the insertion holes of the rotary joint 3 and the sliding joint 4; the insertion hole of the sliding joint 4 has an electromagnet 8 for attracting the insertion ends of the tray 1.

[0036] Compared to existing technologies that use bolt connections, which require manually holding the bolts and aligning the two threads, making the connection inconvenient and prone to bolt detachment during prolonged rotation and vibration of the tray 1, posing a potential hazard, this invention provides a rotary mixing and reconstitution machine. This solution uses a movable side plate 2 to automatically change the clamping distance between the two joints on the machine, thus fixing and releasing the tray 1. It is easy to operate and provides a stable connection. Specifically, the solution includes a frame, a drive unit 5, and a tray 1. The frame has a control box and side plates 2 on either side. The control box contains a motor with output torque and a control terminal. The motor's rotation output terminal 7 extends into the control box to drive the tray 1 to rotate and vibrate, mixing the solutions in several test tubes on the tray 1. The control terminal has individual buttons and knobs, as well as a display screen, for controlling the rotation process and automatically controlling the on / off state of the electromagnet 8 and the drive of the rotary motor. The lower end of the side plate 2 on the other side is slidably connected to the bottom of the equipment to adjust the clamping distance. In use, first insert one end of the tray 1 into the rotary joint 3 to achieve free rotation. Then, control the drive component 5 to move the side plate 2 towards the control box until the other end of the tray 1 is inserted into the sliding joint 4 and abuts against the electromagnet 8. At this time, control the electromagnet 8 to be energized to achieve stable adsorption and fixation, and complete the connection of the tray 1. Then, control the rotary output end 7 to drive the tray 1 to rotate and mix evenly.

[0037] In some possible embodiments, to achieve precise displacement control, the drive component 5 is a rotary motor, which is fixed to a frame outside the side plate 2. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to a screw 6, which is threaded through the side plate 2. Since the bottom of the side plate 2 is slidably connected and limited, it can move in a straight line under the threaded drive.

[0038] In some possible embodiments, to achieve stable rotation at the other end of the screw 6, the control box sidewall has a bearing seat connected to the end of the screw 6.

[0039] In some possible embodiments, to make the movement of the side plate 2 more stable, a slide rod is also included, which is parallel to and side-by-side with the screw 6. The two ends of the slide rod are fixed and slide through the side plate 2. The slide rod is not visible, but it is located side-by-side with the screw 6 on the other side. One end of the slide rod is fixed to the upwardly protruding connecting block, and the other end is fixed to the control box. It slides through the side plate 2 to guide the sliding of the side plate 2.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, to achieve a stable sliding connection, the lower end of the side plate 2 is provided with a dovetail block, and the bottom of the clamping space has a dovetail groove that matches the dovetail block.

[0041] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, as a specific structure of a sliding joint 4, the sliding joint 4 is sleeve-shaped, with one end of the sliding joint 4 sleeved on the rotary output end 7 and the other end of the sliding joint 4 extending out of the rotary output end 7; the electromagnet 8 is fixed to the end of the rotary output end 7.

[0042] In some possible embodiments, to extend the extension length of the sliding joint 4 and facilitate the operator's quick release of hands, a plurality of longitudinal sliders 10 are provided circumferentially on the inner side of one end of the sliding joint 4. The longitudinal sliders 10 are arranged along the length direction of the sliding joint 4, and a plurality of elongated grooves 11 are opened on the circumferential sidewall of the rotary output end 7. Each longitudinal slider 10 is used to slide and connect with a corresponding elongated groove 11. In this scheme, one end of the sliding joint 4 is slidably connected to the rotary output end 7 through a plurality of longitudinal sliders 10 and a plurality of elongated grooves 11 circumferentially, so that the sliding joint 4 can only slide along the length direction of the rotary output end 7 and can rotate synchronously with the rotary output end 7. When initially connecting the tray 1, after inserting one end of the tray 1 into the rotary joint 3, the sliding joint 4 can be manually pulled out so that the other end of the tray 1 is inserted into the sliding joint 4 for temporary fixation. At this time, the operator can release hands and control the rotary motor to reduce the clamping distance.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, in a specific structure of a rotary joint 3, the rotary joint 3 is sleeve-shaped, with a cylindrical head on the side wall of the side plate 2. One end of the rotary joint 3 is rotatably fitted onto the cylindrical head, and the other end of the rotary joint 3 extends out of the cylindrical head. A flexible friction ring 12 is provided circumferentially on the inner side of the other end of the rotary joint 3, and the inner diameter of the flexible friction ring 12 is larger than the diameter of the insertion end of the tray 1. In this design, one end of the rotary joint 3 may have a circumferential slider 9 on its inner side, and a circumferential groove on the side wall of the cylindrical head to allow the rotary joint 3 to rotate freely. A flexible friction ring 12 is embedded on the inner side of the other end of the rotary joint 3. The flexible friction ring 12 may be made of materials such as rubber or silicone, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the insertion end of the tray 1. Thus, when the insertion end of the tray 1 is inserted into the rotary joint 3, the flexible friction ring 12 presses against the outer side of the insertion end to increase friction and effectively prevent the insertion end of the tray 1 from sliding out on its own, thus avoiding it from falling off.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, the flexible friction ring 12 has an enlarged diameter section for guiding the insertion end of the tray 1 towards the other end of the rotary joint 3.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, to achieve flexible contact between the insertion end and the web, the rotary joint 3 has a web at the middle position inside, and a flexible pad 13 is provided on the side of the web facing the other end of the rotary joint 3.

[0046] How this solution works:

[0047] like Figures 1-6 As shown, during actual operation, first insert one end of the tray 1 into the rotary joint 3 on the side plate 2 to achieve free rotation; then align the other end of the tray 1 with the sliding joint 4, and manually pull out the sliding joint 4 so that the other end of the tray 1 is inserted into the sliding joint 4. At this point, the initial connection is completed, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the operator can then free their hands.

[0048] Then, the rotary motor is started, and the screw 6 drives the side plate 2 to slide towards the control end of the equipment to a set distance. At this time, the other end of the tray 1 contacts the electromagnet 8 on the rotary output end 7. Then, the electromagnet 8 is energized, causing it to attract the other end of the tray 1, thus fixing the tray in place. Figure 5 As shown.

[0049] Then, the output of the rotary output terminal 7 can be controlled to drive the tray 1 to reciprocate and oscillate, so as to mix the solutions in several test tubes on the tray.

[0050] When it is necessary to remove tray 1, the electromagnet 8 is de-energized. The operator first pulls the sliding joint 4 to its limit position and gradually controls the side plate 2 to return to its initial position. During this process, the operator can operate the sliding joint 4 to remove tray 1.

[0051] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
