Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrophoresis equipment technology, and specifically to an electrophoresis consumable support. Background Technology
[0002] Electrophoresis is a common technique in molecular biology and biochemistry research, requiring various consumables such as electrophoresis tanks, gel plates, electrodes, and buffer solutions. These consumables need to be arranged in an orderly manner for easy access by researchers, preventing confusion or misoperation. However, existing consumable storage devices are generally simple in structure and single in function, failing to meet the demands of electrophoresis experiments for categorized storage, stable fixation, and convenient access to consumables. Utility Model Content
[0003] Technical problem to be solved by the utility model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an electrophoresis consumable support with a reasonable structure and practical function, which can effectively classify and neatly arrange various consumables, while improving the convenience and safety of experimental operations.
[0005] Technical solution
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An electrophoresis consumable holder includes a rotatably connected base plate and a stepped base. The stepped base has several steps, and several baffles are vertically arranged on the tread of each step. The baffles divide the tread into several placement areas, which are adapted to consumable containers. The sides of the baffles are provided with scale lines, the treads are provided with grooves, and the bottom of the baffles is provided with a thick part that engages with the grooves.
[0008] Organized placement by category: By setting different baffles, the base surface is divided into multiple placement areas, which can classify and store different types of electrophoresis consumables, improve the cleanliness of the experimental table, make it easier for experimental personnel to quickly find the consumables they need, and improve experimental efficiency.
[0009] Graduated lines assist in quantitative dispensing: Graduated lines can help researchers visually read the volume of remaining reagent in the container, which is especially useful for consumables such as reagent bottles that require quantitative dispensing.
[0010] Convenient operation: Since the base plate and the stepped base are connected by a pivot, the position can be freely rotated and adjusted as needed, making it easy to take out consumables from different directions and improving the convenience of operation.
[0011] Optionally, the base plate and the stepped base are rotatably connected by a pivot bearing housing, which contains a bearing.
[0012] Rotary bearing housing: The base plate is rotatably connected to the stepped base via a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is installed in the rotating bearing housing.
[0013] Bearing configuration: The shaft bearing housing contains a bearing. This design significantly reduces friction during shaft rotation, resulting in smoother and more stable rotation.
[0014] Optionally, the bearing is an axial bearing, and the shaft bearing housing is a two-layer nested structure, with the two layers of the nested structure respectively fixed to the base plate and the stepped base.
[0015] Axial bearing: The use of an axial bearing means that it is particularly suitable for bearing axial loads, effectively reducing friction and wear in the axial direction and ensuring smoother rotation.
[0016] The shaft bearing housing features a two-layer nested structure: In this design, the shaft bearing housing employs a two-layer nested structure, with each layer fixed to both the base plate and the stepped base. This design provides a more robust connection while ensuring flexible rotation.
[0017] Optionally, the bottom of the substrate is provided with multiple anti-slip textures.
[0018] The main function of the anti-slip texture is to increase the friction between the substrate and the experimental platform. This design can effectively prevent unnecessary slippage of the support during use.
[0019] Optionally, the placement area is provided with a groove.
[0020] The groove design provides a customized "seat" for consumable containers of a specific shape or size, allowing them to be placed securely in a designated location and reducing the risk of tipping over due to accidental collisions or movement.
[0021] Alternatively, the baffles can be arranged in parallel.
[0022] Parallel baffles help create a series of standardized placement areas, each the same size or adjustable as needed. Parallel baffles help make more efficient use of limited space. By strategically arranging the baffles, the entire stepped base area can be maximized while ensuring each type of consumable has a suitable storage location. Parallel baffles provide stable support for the consumables placed within them, preventing them from easily sliding or tipping over.
[0023] Optionally, the scale lines are adapted to the thickness of the consumable container.
[0024] The scale lines are designed to fit the thickness of the consumable container, meaning the scale design takes into account the specific container dimensions. This allows researchers to more accurately read the container's volume or remaining quantity. When the scale lines match the container thickness well, it provides more intuitive visual feedback. Researchers can quickly understand the required information without additional estimations or conversions, reducing operational steps and potential sources of error.
[0025] Alternatively, the spacing between the baffles on different steps may vary, and multiple chutes may be provided in different positions.
[0026] The varying spacing between baffles on different steps allows for optimized configurations for different types of consumables. Multiple chutes in different positions mean that baffles can be moved to different locations as needed to create placement areas of varying sizes. This provides users with great flexibility, allowing them to adjust the layout according to specific experimental needs without being limited to fixed intervals.
[0027] Alternatively, the stepped base may be a one-piece molded structure.
[0028] The one-piece design avoids potential weaknesses caused by connection points or seams, making the stepped base more robust and durable, and better able to withstand weight and wear and tear from daily use.
[0029] Beneficial effects
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0031] The technical solution provided by this utility model, by setting a stepped base and using baffles to divide the tread of the stepped base into multiple placement areas, can classify and arrange different types of electrophoresis consumables in an orderly manner, avoiding messy placement of consumables, improving the cleanliness of the experimental table, and also making it easier for experimental personnel to quickly find the consumables they need, thus improving experimental efficiency; the scale lines can make it easy for experimental personnel to intuitively read the volume of some consumables such as reagent bottles that need to be quantitatively dispensed; the base plate and the stepped base are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft, allowing users to flexibly adjust and rotate the stepped base according to the needs of experimental operation, making it easy to pick up the consumables placed on the stepped base, thus improving the convenience of operation.

In cross-section, the bottom of the groove has recessed pointed grooves on both sides, and the bottom of the baffle has a pointed protrusion that engages with the pointed grooves. During installation, it slides into the groove from the end. After installation, the baffle cannot be disengaged in the vertical direction, forming an interlocking structure.
[0040] The stepped base 1 consists of a lower step 101 and an upper step 102. Side baffles 2 are fixed to the left and right sides of the lower step 101, and a first baffle 3 is located in the middle of the upper surface of the lower step 101. The upper surface of the lower step 101 is divided into a first placement area 4 and a second placement area 5 by the side baffles 2 and the first baffle 3. Placement areas 4 and 5 are relatively large and can be used to place large electrophoresis consumable containers. The upper surface of the upper step 102 has multiple second baffles 6, dividing it into a third placement area 7, a fourth placement area 8, and a fifth placement area 9. Placement areas 7, 8, and 9 are relatively small and can be used to place small electrophoresis consumable containers. The spacing between the baffles on different steps varies, and multiple sliding grooves are provided in different positions. The upper surface of the upper tread 102 is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and the lower part of the second baffle 6 is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the sliding groove. The second baffle 6 is slidably connected to the upper tread 102.
[0041] The upper surface of the substrate 12 is provided with a pivot bearing seat 11. The substrate 12 is rotatably connected to the stepped base 1 through the pivot bearing seat 11. The substrate 12 and the stepped base 1 are rotatably connected through the pivot bearing seat 11. The pivot bearing seat 11 is provided with a bearing.
[0042] The bearing is an axial bearing, and the bearing housing 11 has a two-layer nested structure. The two layers of the nested structure are respectively fixed to the base plate 12 and the stepped base 1. Common types of axial bearings include thrust ball bearings, thrust roller bearings, thrust tapered roller bearings, and thrust self-aligning roller bearings.
[0043] The bottom of the substrate 12 is provided with multiple anti-slip textures 13. The anti-slip textures 13 can be replaced with anti-slip strips, which can be attached to the bottom of the substrate 12 to provide an anti-slip function.
[0044] The placement area has a recessed area. The recess is square and fits the container of electrophoresis consumables, which can be stacked on the recess.
[0045] The stepped base 1 is a one-piece molded structure, that is, the lower tread 101 and the upper tread 102 are one-piece molded structures.
