Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sampling pipettes, also called laboratory pipettes or liquid transfer pipettes, intended for sampling and dispensing liquid in containers or the like.
  • the pipettes concerned by the present invention are manually operated pipettes. These pipettes are intended to be held in the hand by an operator during the operations of sampling and dispensing liquid, these operations being performed by setting in motion a control knob obtained by the application of an axial actuation pressure. on that same button.
  • the invention relates to pipette means for detecting a passage of the piston through a predetermined position along its dispensing stroke or purge stroke.
  • a switch incorporating contacts 118 embedded on the movable piston sliding. In operation, these contacts are moved a length equal to the total length of the piston stroke, after which contacts 118 generate switching via a fixed conductive bridge on the pipette body.
  • the large stroke required for the contacts 118 makes their implantation difficult, especially because of the necessary presence of the electrical son 120 whose length must be large enough to tolerate the movement between the fixed microprocessor 84 and the low point of the contacts 118 It also results in a risk of failure, since the electrical wires 120 are subject to risks of jamming during movements of the piston of the pipette.
  • the detection of the passage of the piston by a predetermined position may have other applications than the counting of pipetting cycles. In this respect, examples of applications will be described below. Nevertheless, in current solutions, whatever the application adopted, the means used for detecting the passage of the piston by a predetermined position remain perfectible.
  • the invention therefore aims to at least partially overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, relating to the achievements of the prior art.
  • the invention relates to a manually operated sampling pipette, comprising a control rod whose low end controls the displacement of a piston slidably housed in a suction chamber of the pipette, the upper end of the control rod carrying a control button intended to be set in motion by an axial actuation pressure of an operator so that the piston successively performs a dispensing stroke during which load first elastic means return, then a purge stroke during which load second elastic return means, said pipette comprising an electronic device for receiving a switching signal translating the passage of the piston by a predetermined position along its dispensing stroke or its purge stroke, a position in which said first and / or second elastic return means have a predefined level terminated deformation, the pipette further comprising a switch which, when actuated by switch control means, outputs said switching signal to said electronic device.
  • said control means comprise a movable actuating member integral with an elastic support capable of being deformed elastically under the effect of said axial actuation pressure applied by the operator to the control knob, said pipette being designed so that the elastic deformation of the support, causing the movable member from an inactive position to an actuating position, is caused only when said axial pressure is greater than or equal to that placing said first and / or or second elastic means at their predetermined level of deformation.
  • the principle of the invention is based on the establishment of a judicious correlation of the stiffness of the first / second return means and the deformable elastic support. Indeed, the latter is designed to deform and trigger a switch only when the axial pressure it undergoes is sufficient to have previously caused a deformation of the first and / or second elastic return means having led the pipette piston to reach its predetermined position that one seeks to detect.
  • the invention therefore has the advantage of no longer having an identity between the stroke length of the piston and the length of the relative displacement between the fixed and movable contacts of the switch. This results in greater reliability, easier installation, and a greatly reduced risk of failure.
  • the detection means mentioned above are preferably integrated in the control button. Their implementation is easy, and this solution makes it easy to implement the invention on the existing pool of pipettes, without affecting too much the initial design. Nevertheless, the system can be implanted elsewhere in the pipette, preferably always at least partly in the control button, but also in other appropriate places.
  • the switch and its control means may be arranged between the lower end of the control rod and the piston.
  • the predetermined position of the piston is chosen according to the desired applications. It can thus be held anywhere between the start of the dispensing run and the end of the purge stroke, including the low point of this purge stroke.
  • said elastic support is designed to deform abruptly when it moves the movable member from the inactive position to the actuating position.
  • said elastic support has a dome shape whose recess is oriented towards the bottom of the pipette.
  • the orientation of the dome trough is reversed, preferably abruptly as mentioned above.
  • said elastic support is integrated with said control button, and constitutes the part of the button on which the operator exerts the axial actuation pressure directly during a pipetting operation.
  • said elastic support constitutes an upper part of the outer envelope of the plug, but could alternatively only indirectly be subjected to axial pressure while being covered by another element, for example a flexible skin that closes the button at the top.
  • said movable member integral with the elastic support, is a pin. It could alternatively be a central portion of the dome.
  • said first and second elastic return means are compression springs, as is conventionally the case in today's manually operated pipettes.
  • said electronic device comprises a microprocessor or the like, and preferably also a transmitter.
  • said predetermined position of the piston corresponds to the transition position between the dispensing stroke and the purge stroke, or to a position near this transition position. If other positions are The transition position is particularly suitable for detecting that a liquid dispensing has been fully realized.
  • the subject of the invention is also a system comprising a sampling pipette as described above, as well as a luminous aid device for dispensing liquid from the wells of at least one titration device intended to be based on the light device, the latter being designed to successively illuminate said wells in response to the transmission signals transmitted by wireless connection by said electronic device of the pipette.

  • said button comprises an electronic device as well as a switch which, when actuated by switching control means also integrated in the button, delivers a switching signal to said electronic device, said control means comprising a mobile actuating member secured to an elastic support capable of elastically deforming under the effect of said axial actuation pressure applied by the operator to the control button, said button being designed so that the elastic deformation of said support causing the movable member from an inactive position to an actuating position, is caused only when said axial pressure applied to said upper surface is of greater intensity than a predetermined intensity.
  • buttons can be integrated into this control button, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the button also integrates a power supply of the electronic device.

  • These two elements 30, 34 may be made in one piece, preferably made of a suitable elastic polymeric material, such as natural or synthetic rubber or thermoplastic elastomers, for example silicone rubber, polyurethane, etc.
  • the resilient / flexible nature of the dome 30 forming the support of the pin 34 is essential because it is its deformation that allows the actuation of the switch 32, as will be detailed below.
  • the switch 32 is in fact arranged under the pin 34, and comprises a fixed electrical contact 36 carried by an electronic device 40, as well as a deformable electrical contact 38 in the form of a cup, arranged in contact and under the pin 34. last, on the figure 2 , is shown in an inactive position which does not cause any switching.
  • the electronic device 40 which generally comprises a microprocessor and a transceiver, is powered by a battery 42 located under the device, always inwardly with respect to the outer wall 24, just above the upper end of the rod. ordered.
