Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of laboratory centrifuges, allowing the separation of constituents contained in a liquid by centrifugation phenomenon.
  • Centrifugation makes it possible to separate constituents of variable size and mass contained in a liquid sample, from molecules to whole cells.
  • the acceleration obtained becomes preponderant with respect to the molecular agitation, which causes its sedimentation towards the bottom of the container or its rise to the surface.
  • Such a centrifuge is further provided with locking means to maintain the lid in its closed position during the entire centrifugation cycle.
  • Such locking means are for example described in the document FR-2 951 962 as well as in the document US 2001/024039 A1 .
  • Such a structure allows a relatively effective locking of the bolt in its locking position.
  • the hook of the bolt and the pivot bolt / connecting rod are positioned on either side of the pivot axis of the bolt, so that a lever arm may be exerted on the bolt is opposed to a lever arm capable of being exerted on said bolt / connecting rod pivot axis.
  • This structure of the locking means is more cumbersome because of the presence of the connecting rod interposed between the bolt and the eccentric.
  • This mechanism is also complex with regard to the number of parts, with reliability issues and maintenance of locking that result.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a centrifuge whose bolt actuation means have a simplified structure and increased reliability, compared to that of the prior art, while preserving an optimum locking force of the cover.
  • This laboratory centrifuge is of the type comprising: - a casing surrounding a rotor which is accessible through an opening, - a cover movable between a closed position to close said access opening and an open position to release said access opening and - means for locking said lid in said closed position.
  • These locking means comprise: at least one striker (preferably equipping said movable cover), at least one bolt (preferably equipping said casing), which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation between a position of locking in which said bolt is associated with said striker, and an unlocking position in which said bolt is dissociated from said striker, and - means for actuating said bolt comprising a motor shaft which is rotated on itself by means engines, along an axis of motor rotation extending parallel to the axis of rotation of said bolt, and which is coupled to said bolt via transmission means for the rotational operation of said bolt between its locking and unlocking positions .
  • said transmission means comprise a crank, extending said drive shaft, which carries an eccentric actuator bearing on a contact surface provided on said bolt, so that the eccentric rotation drive of said actuator member actuation about said axis of motor rotation causes its movement and support along said contact surface and the rotational control of said bolt between its locking and unlocking positions.
  • the laboratory centrifuge comprises, on the one hand, a first longitudinal axis passing through the actuating member and the axis of engine rotation and, on the other hand, a second longitudinal axis passing through said member of actuation and by the axis of rotation of the bolt.
  • the locking means are then arranged so that, in the locking position of the bolt, said first longitudinal axis extends to the square, or at least approximately to the square, relative to the second longitudinal axis.
  • This structural feature allows optimal and fast locking of the bolt in its closed position.
  • the direction of a possible opening force exerted by the bolt on the actuating member then extends coaxially with the first longitudinal axis mentioned above, passing through the actuating member and the axis of rotation. engine.
  • This direction of the opening force thus exerts a zero lever arm on the actuating member around the axis of engine rotation, with a zero moment on the motor axis, thus avoiding any rotation phenomenon of the associated motor shaft.
  • This locking position is "wide” in that it allows a certain clearance, allowing better consideration of the inertia of geared motors and a simpler adjustment.
  • the actuating member advantageously consists of a cylindrical stud which extends along a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to the axis of engine rotation.
  • the contact surface of the bolt is then formed by an elongate slot which is formed in said bolt; this elongate light is delimited by two longitudinal edges extending parallel to each other and arranged on either side of a radial longitudinal axis arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of said bolt.
  • the holding means advantageously comprise at least one elastically deformable member which is arranged to rest on the striker of the cover operated in the waiting position, and which is able to oppose the action of the means of return the cover to the open position.
  • the elastically deformable member is implanted opposite a hook of the bolt intended to cooperate with the striker.
  • the bolt then advantageously comprises a bearing portion which is adapted, during the operation of the bolt in the unlocked position, to cause a maneuver of said elastic deformable member according to the inactive position in which it is spaced relative to the lock of the cover.
  • the elastically deformable member is carried by the bolt, above a hook capable of cooperating with the striker.
  • the laboratory centrifuge 1 represented generally and in perspective on the figure 1 , comprises a housing 2 incorporating a shielded tank 3 in which there is a rotor 4 removably mounted on a rotating drive shaft (not shown).

These mobile buckets, not shown on the figure 1 , are each mounted free to rotate about an axis extending horizontally and perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the rotor 4.
  • the rotor 4 could be of the fixed angle type, in which the containers are placed in hollow recesses generally inclined between 15 ° and 45 ° with respect to the vertical.
  • the casing 2 and the tank 3 delimit an access opening 5, opening upwards, for access in particular to the rotor 4.

  • This cover 6 comprises return means 61 which tend its maneuver towards its open position ( figure 1 ).
  • These return means 61 consist here for example of pneumatic cylinders, suitably arranged, exerting an upward thrust on the lid 6.
  • the lid 6, at rest, is thus in its open position; downward support (by an operator) on the cover 6 allows to cause its operation from its open position to its closed position.
  • the centrifuge 1 further comprises means 10 for locking the lid 6 moved in its closed position.
  • safety means allow rotation of the rotor 4 only in the case where the cover 6 is in the closed and locked position.

  • the operating means 15 are able to prevent any accidental movement of the bolts 12 from the locked position to the unlocked position.
