Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of experimental equipment technology, and in particular to a sample cup holder for the sample cup of the SA1100 sampler. Background Technology

[0002] In laboratory settings such as chemical analysis, environmental monitoring, and biological detection, the SA1100 sampler is a commonly used sample testing device. Its accompanying sample cup is used to hold the sample to be analyzed, while the sample rack serves as a storage and auxiliary sampling tool for the sample cup, directly affecting the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of experimental operations and sample testing results. With the increasing workload of laboratory testing, higher requirements are placed on the storage stability, ease of use, and compatibility of the SA1100 sampler's sample cup and sample rack. A dedicated and reliable sample rack has become an important guarantee for efficient laboratory operations.

[0003] In the existing technology, the sample cup of the SA1100 sampler used in the laboratory usually adopts a general-purpose support, such as the existing test tube rack. However, the existing test tube rack cannot adapt to the special shape of the SA1100 sample cup, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. As a result, the sample cup is prone to tilting, shaking, or even tipping over after being placed, causing sample spillage, sample contamination, or invalid test data. Furthermore, the overall support strength of the support is insufficient, and the support body is prone to shaking or even tipping over.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a sample cup holder for the sample inlet cup of the SA1100 sampler, which is capable of...

[0006] To achieve the objectives of this application, the following technical solution is provided: This application provides a sample cup holder for the sample inlet cup of the SA1100 sampler, comprising: The upper shelf has multiple through holes for placing the SA1100 sampler injection cup; The lower shelf is fixedly installed below the upper shelf by a support frame and is used to support the bottom of the SA1100 sampler injection cup; The base is fixedly installed below the lower shelf by the supporting frame to stabilize the overall structure of the cup holder.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the distance between the upper shelf and the lower shelf is equal to the waist length of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup, and the inner diameter of the placement through hole is greater than the outer diameter of the waist of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup but smaller than the outer diameter of the head of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the base is provided with a counterweight.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the weight of the counterweight is between one-third and one-half of the weight of the base.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the counterweight is made of stainless steel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the base has an anti-slip rubber pad.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the anti-slip rubber pad has a grid-like anti-slip texture.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the base has armrest grooves on both sides of its bottom.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the support frame is made of a transparent, acid and alkali resistant material, including one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene, polycarbonate, plexiglass, borosilicate glass and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the lower shelf is a smooth plane.

[0016] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: The sample cup holder for the SA1100 sampler provided in this application can precisely adapt to the upper shelf's wider-than-lower structure of the sample cup by matching the placement through hole of the upper shelf with the precise support of the lower shelf, thus achieving reliable positioning of the sample cup. Furthermore, the upper shelf, lower shelf, and base are firmly connected by the support frame to form an integrated structure, improving the overall structural strength of the cup holder. At the same time, the stable support of the base for the overall structure effectively prevents the cup holder from tilting and shaking, providing a stable guarantee for the storage and sampling operations of the sample cup during the experiment.

[0021] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0022] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore, repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0023] This example embodiment first provides a sample cup holder for the sample inlet cup of the SA1100 sampler. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sample cup holder for the SA1100 sampler includes an upper shelf 100, a lower shelf 200, and a base 300. Wherein: The upper shelf 100 has multiple placement through holes 110 for placing the SA1100 sampler injection cup; The lower shelf 200 is fixedly installed below the upper shelf 100 by the support frame 400 and is used to support the bottom of the sample inlet cup of the SA1100 sampler. The base 300 is fixedly installed below the lower shelf 200 by the supporting frame 400 to stabilize the overall structure of the cup holder.

[0024] It should be noted that the upper shelf 100, the lower shelf 200 and the base 300 form a stable three-layer structure through the support frame 400. The support frame 400 can be connected to each component by welding or bolting to ensure that the overall structure is firm and not easy to loosen. The through holes 110 can be designed in a matrix layout, and the number can be set to 6-24 according to the laboratory's routine sampling needs, taking into account both space utilization and ease of operation.

[0025] The technical solution of this application precisely adapts to the top-wide, bottom-narrow structure of the SA1100 sampler's inlet cup. By utilizing the cooperation between the upper shelf's through-hole (with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the inlet cup's waist but smaller than the outer diameter of the head) and the lower shelf (with spacing matching the length of the inlet cup's waist), the head of the inlet cup is locked in place, and the bottom is stably supported. This completely solves the problem of inlet cup tilting and tipping caused by existing universal frames, ensuring sample storage safety. Furthermore, the upper shelf, lower shelf, and base are fixedly connected by a load-bearing frame, forming a stable three-layer integrated structure. Combined with a stainless steel counterweight on the base, which weighs 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the sampler's weight, the overall center of gravity is significantly lowered. This design enhances the support strength of the frame, preventing structural deformation or tipping when multiple sample cups are loaded. The base is fully covered with a grid-patterned anti-slip rubber pad, effectively preventing frame displacement even with minor water stains or accidental contact, further strengthening stability. Furthermore, the support frame is made of transparent, acid and alkali resistant materials such as PTFE, facilitating observation of the bottom of the sample cups and sample levels, while also resisting reagent corrosion. The smooth top surface of the lower shelf facilitates the placement and removal of sample cups without scratching, and the handrail grooves on both sides of the base are designed for finger operation, making handling easy. Overall, the design balances ease of operation, corrosion resistance, and service life, meeting the laboratory's needs for efficient, safe, and stable sampling and testing.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the distance between the upper shelf 100 and the lower shelf 200 is equal to the waist length of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup, and the inner diameter of the placement through hole 110 is greater than the outer diameter of the waist of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup and less than the outer diameter of the head of the SA1100 sampler inlet cup.

[0027] It should be noted that the spacing between the upper shelf 100 and the lower shelf 200, as well as the inner diameter of the placement through hole 110, are all adapted to the standard size of the SA1100 sampler's injection cup. This ensures that after the injection cup is placed, its head engages above the placement through hole 110, its body fits against the inner wall of the through hole, and its bottom is stably supported on the smooth top surface of the lower shelf 200. This prevents the injection cup from shaking or tipping over, and does not affect the operation of the sampler probe extending into the cup to take samples.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the base 300 is provided with a counterweight 500.

[0029] It should be noted that the counterweight 500 is fixedly installed in the middle area of ​​the base 300. This installation position can reduce the overall center of gravity of the cup holder to the greatest extent. Even when multiple sample cups are loaded or the cup holder is moved at the same time, it can effectively resist the risk of tipping and protect the samples inside the cups from spillage.

[0030] Furthermore, the weight of the counterweight 500 is between one-third and one-half the weight of the base 300.

[0031] It should be noted that the weight of the counterweight 500 is set between one-third and one-half the weight of the base 300. This is the optimal range after multiple stability and portability tests. It can meet the anti-tipping requirements without increasing the burden of handling due to the excessive weight of the base 300, making it suitable for daily mobile operation scenarios in the laboratory.

[0032] Optionally, the counterweight 500 is made of stainless steel.

[0033] It should be noted that the counterweight 500 is made of stainless steel, which not only has the characteristics of high strength and non-deformation, but also can withstand the corrosion of common laboratory acid and alkali sample residues and cleaning solutions, avoiding rust and damage after long-term use, and ensuring the durability of the counterweight effect and the service life of the cup holder.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the base 300 has an anti-slip rubber pad 600.

[0035] It should be noted that the anti-slip rubber pad 600 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base 300 by adhesive bonding, covering the entire lower surface of the base 300. Its soft material can fit closely to the surface of the experimental table, increasing the contact friction and preventing the cup holder from shifting due to accidental contact.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the anti-slip rubber pad 600 has a grid-like anti-slip texture.

[0037] It should be noted that the grid-like anti-slip texture on the bottom of the 600 anti-slip rubber pad can further enhance the grip of the contact surface. Even if there are a small amount of water stains or dirt on the surface of the laboratory table, it can maintain good anti-slip performance. At the same time, the grid structure is easy to clean and does not easily accumulate dirt, ensuring long-term stable anti-slip effect.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the base 300 has armrest grooves 310 on both sides of its bottom.

[0039] It should be noted that the armrest grooves 310 on both sides of the bottom of the base 300 are 2-3cm wide to fit the width of an adult's fingers and about 2cm deep, making it easy for operators to hold the cup holder with both hands and prevent it from slipping and falling during transport, thus improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the support frame 400 is made of a transparent, acid and alkali resistant material, including one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene, polycarbonate, plexiglass, borosilicate glass and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer.

[0041] It should be noted that the support frame 400 is made of transparent acid and alkali resistant materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polycarbonate. This allows operators to clearly observe the state of the bottom of the sample inlet cup and the remaining sample volume, while also resisting the corrosion of acid and alkali reagents that may be encountered during the experiment. At the same time, the material itself is chemically stable and will not react with the sample to cause contamination.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the lower shelf 200 is a smooth plane.

[0043] It should be noted that the top surface of the lower shelf 200 is polished to form a smooth plane, which reduces the contact friction between the bottom of the sample cup and the shelf, making it easier to place and remove the sample cup. At the same time, it avoids scratching the bottom of the sample cup on a rough surface, protecting the integrity of the sample cup. In addition, the smooth surface is easy to wipe and clean, and does not easily leave sample stains.
