Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifuge tube rack technology, and in particular to a composite centrifuge tube rack. Background Technology

[0002] In current laboratory work involving molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical testing, sample processing in centrifuge tubes is a routine and crucial step. Currently, operations such as low-temperature reactions, vortex mixing, and height adjustment of centrifuge tube samples typically rely on separate equipment.

[0003] Specifically, researchers must first place the centrifuge tubes containing samples in a standard centrifuge rack, then place the entire rack into a foam box or plastic ice bath filled with ice to maintain a low temperature. When vortexing is required, the centrifuge tubes must be manually removed from the ice bath and transferred to a dedicated vortex mixer or shaker. This cumbersome operation can easily lead to fluctuations in sample temperature, affecting the accuracy of experimental results, especially for temperature-sensitive reagents. Furthermore, the rack position often needs to be adjusted according to operating habits or equipment height during experiments, but traditional racks have a fixed height and cannot be flexibly raised or lowered, causing inconvenience. This functionally separate approach not only occupies limited lab space but also leads to fragmented workflows, inefficiency, and increases the risk of sample contamination and temperature runaway.

[0004] To address the issue that centrifuge racks are not conducive to the organic integration of functions such as ice bath maintenance, height adjustment, and oscillation mixing, the following improvements are needed: Firstly, the separate equipment for each function during experiments is cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to manual transfer, leading to temperature fluctuations that affect results. Secondly, the separation of functions results in low equipment integration, occupies space, and is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing centrifuge racks are not convenient for organically integrating functions such as ice bath maintenance, height adjustment, and oscillation mixing, and therefore proposes a composite centrifuge rack.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a composite centrifuge tube rack, comprising a centrifuge tube rack, an oscillator, and a composite mechanism, wherein the composite mechanism is disposed on the surface of the oscillator;

[0007] The composite mechanism includes a support and a temperature-controlled ice box. The support is fixedly connected to the surface of the shaker. The centrifuge tube rack is fixedly installed on the surface of the support. The surface of the centrifuge tube rack has a tube opening. A silicone ring is snapped onto the surface of the tube opening.

[0008] The inner wall of the temperature-controlled ice box is fixedly connected with a tube groove, the interior of the temperature-controlled ice box is provided with a heat-insulating medium, the surface of the temperature-controlled ice box is provided with a slot, the surface of the bracket is fixedly connected with a card plate, and the card plate is inserted into the surface of the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, there are multiple sets of pipe openings and pipe grooves, with the multiple sets of pipe openings being evenly distributed. The pipe openings are provided with different specifications, and the multiple sets of pipe grooves are matched with the pipe openings.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the oscillator is fixedly connected with an anti-slip rubber pad, and there are multiple sets of silicone rings, which are adapted to the tube opening.

[0011] Furthermore, a convex ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the tube opening, and a groove is formed on the surface of the silicone ring, with the groove being engaged with the surface of the convex ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the number of brackets is four sets and they are arranged symmetrically, and the number of card plates and card slots is two sets each, with the two sets of card plates arranged symmetrically.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the centrifuge tube rack is provided with mounting holes, and screws are inserted and connected to the surface of the mounting holes. The surface of the bracket is provided with screw holes, and the screws are threadedly connected to the surface of the screw holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of mounting holes, screws, and threaded holes is four sets each, with the four sets of mounting holes and the four sets of threaded holes arranged symmetrically.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, a composite mechanism is set up to place centrifuge tubes of different specifications using centrifuge tube racks with different sized tube openings. The silicone ring is secured to the tube opening using a convex ring and a groove, and the silicone ring is pressed against the centrifuge tube, which can fix the centrifuge tubes and flexibly adjust the height according to experimental needs. The temperature-controlled ice box can be installed on the support using a clamping plate and a clamping groove, and the centrifuge tubes are placed in the tube groove for auxiliary placement. The insulation medium is added to the temperature-controlled ice box to give the centrifuge tubes an ice bath. After the ice bath, the temperature-controlled ice box can be quickly disassembled, and the shaker can be started to shake and mix the centrifuge tubes. The anti-slip rubber pad can prevent the centrifuge tubes from shifting and slipping during shaking. The centrifuge tube rack can be installed on the support by inserting screws into the mounting holes and tightening them. It can be removed by simply loosening the screws and replacing the centrifuge tube rack with a centrifuge tube rack of different specifications.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a composite mechanism, ice bath maintenance, height adjustment and shaking mixing are organically integrated into an integrated device, realizing in-situ, low-temperature and adjustable posture processing of centrifuge tube samples, which greatly simplifies the operation process, reduces the risk of sample contamination and temperature runaway, and significantly improves experimental efficiency and result reliability, thereby effectively improving the convenience of the device.

[0030] Specifically, there are multiple sets of pipe openings 303 and pipe grooves 305. The multiple sets of pipe openings 303 are evenly distributed and have different specifications. The multiple sets of pipe grooves 305 are matched with the pipe openings 303.

[0031] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: setting multiple sets of tube openings 303 and tube grooves 305 is to facilitate the placement of multiple centrifuge tubes, and setting different specifications for tube openings 303 is to facilitate the placement of centrifuge tubes of different diameters.

[0032] Specifically, the surface of the oscillator 2 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip rubber pad 309, and there are multiple sets of silicone rings 304, which are adapted to the nozzle 303.

[0033] The effect achieved by the above components is that the anti-slip rubber pad 309 is designed to help prevent the centrifuge tube from shifting and slipping during oscillation.

[0034] Specifically, a protruding ring 310 is fixedly connected to the surface of the nozzle 303, and a groove 311 is opened on the surface of the silicone ring 304, which is engaged with the surface of the protruding ring 310.

[0035] The effect achieved by the above components is that the protruding ring 310 and the groove 311 are designed to make the silicone ring 304 and the tube opening 303 detachable, so that they can be replaced at any time.

The silicone ring 304 is locked into the tube opening 303 by the convex ring 310 and the groove 311. The silicone ring 304 abuts against the centrifuge tube, which can fix the centrifuge tube and flexibly adjust the height according to experimental needs. The temperature-controlled ice box 302 can be installed on the bracket 301 by the clamping plate 308 and the clamping groove 307, and the tube groove 305 assists in the centrifuge tube. To aid placement, the insulation medium 306 is added to the temperature-controlled ice box 302 to provide an ice bath for the centrifuge tubes. After the ice bath, the temperature-controlled ice box 302 can be quickly disassembled, and the shaker 2 can be started to shake and mix the centrifuge tubes.
