Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotating unit for a rotor of a dual centrifuge according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic dual centrifuge with rotating units for a rotor which can be arranged individually or in plurality in the rotor and in which, for example, centrifuge tubes containing sample material are stored in a sample container receptacle of a receiving unit.
  • Safe storage of the sample container during centrifugation is often only achieved by the receiving unit engaging relatively far into a rotating head of the rotating unit so as not to be thrown out of the rotating head by the forces generated during rotation. On the one hand, this has a disadvantageous effect on the size.
  • secure storage in a rotating unit is not easy to implement or not possible, since the sample tubes have to be inserted horizontally into the rotating head for certain tasks.
  • a dual centrifuge which has a rotating head and a receiving unit.
  • the receiving unit and the rotary head are positively connected to one another, which, due to the tolerances, leads to small relative movements and thus to additional imbalances during operation. These imbalances in turn lead to heavy wear during operation and thus to premature failure of the centrifuge.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a rotating unit while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned and to develop it in such a way that sample material in a container, e.g. a tube, can be inserted more securely into the rotating unit by means of a receiving unit with only very little space requirement, and also various optimized To propose sample container receptacles and corresponding receiving units in which sample containers of different sizes and in different numbers can be received.
  • a container e.g. a tube
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that a frictional connection / clamping connection between the receiving unit and the rotary head enables secure storage and simple replacement of the receiving unit.
  • the installation space can be further reduced as a result.
  • the rotating unit for a rotor of a centrifuge has a bearing and a rotating head connected to the bearing, rotatably mounted in the latter via an axis of rotation, which can be driven relative to the rotor by a further rotating mechanism of the centrifuge.
  • the rotating head is connected to a receiving unit in a rotatably releasable manner, into which at least one sample container receptacle can be inserted which contains the sample.
  • the connection between the receiving unit and the rotating head is formed by a frictional connection, in which the receiving unit and the rotating head interlock in a wedge-shaped manner and the frictional connection increases when the receiving unit moves along the rotating axis of the rotating unit in the direction of the rotating head.
  • the requirements for wedge-shaped frictional connections are technically easy to implement. An operator can then easily and without aids establish the frictional connection / clamping connection between the rotary head and the receiving unit and release it again.
  • the rotating unit is mounted at an angle in the rotor and is arranged in such a way that the receiving unit is pressed into the frictional connection with increasing rotation.
  • forces generated during the rotation are used to strengthen the wedging of the receiving unit with the rotating unit. In this way, a simple and reliable fixing of the receiving unit in the rotating unit is ensured regardless of the speed of rotation.
  • the frictional connection between an underside of the receiving unit and an end face of the rotary head is effective.
  • the wedge-shaped frictional connection is particularly easy to produce, since the wedging / jamming takes place essentially by inserting the receiving unit and the loosening of the wedge-shaped frictional connection by removing the receiving unit.
  • stops are provided to limit the movement in the wedge-shaped frictional connection.
  • the stops mean that the receiving unit only covers a defined maximum path into the rotary head. This increases the operational safety of the centrifuge, since excessive wedging / jamming and a possibly resulting permanent jamming are prevented. In addition, such attacks also reduce the likelihood that receiving units that are not designed for the rotary head are mistakenly used.
  • the frictional connection of the receiving unit and the rotating head comprises truncated conical feet which engage in corresponding recesses, the receiving unit having the feet and the rotating head having the recesses or vice versa. Both feet and recesses can also be provided in the receiving unit and in the rotating head.
  • the conical shape of the feet ensures a good wedge effect / clamping effect and high shear strength, and the outer contour of the feet which tapers in the direction of the recesses also serves to easily center the feet in the recesses.
  • the longitudinal axes of the feet are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary head and the feet are designed to be rotationally symmetrical, with a longitudinal section through the resulting line of the conical shell at an angle of 10 ° to 35 °, in particular 15 ° to the axis of rotation is employed.
  • the ratio of the shear strength of the feet on the one hand and the wedge effect / clamping effect on the other hand is particularly favorable.
  • the feet can be centered well in the recesses when the receiving unit is inserted into the rotary head.
  • the feet and the receiving unit are made in one piece, made of the same material and / or the feet and the rotary head are made in one piece, made of the same material.
  • the number and the dimensions of the feet are matched to the shear strength of the material of the feet in connection with the forces resulting from the alternating rotational load during operation with the dual centrifuge. This can prevent an undesired loosening of the wedge-shaped frictional connection during the centrifuge operation and thus damage within the centrifuge due to an insufficient number and / or dimensioning of the feet. At the same time, however, material costs and construction costs can also be reduced, since only the number and dimensions of the feet required for safe operation are provided.
  • the diameter of the base area of the truncated cone of a foot to the height of the truncated cone has a ratio of 10: 6.
  • this achieves an optimal relationship between the shear strength of the feet and the stability of the frictional connection.
  • Plastic in particular polyamide, is preferably used as the material for the receiving unit, and aluminum, in particular the aluminum alloy EN AW-AI Zn5Mg3Cu-T6, is used for the rotary head and the sample container receptacles. Strength, processability and costs of these materials are in a particularly good relationship to one another.
  • the rotor is driven by a drive shaft.
  • the drive shaft can be made of aluminum or steel or it can be sheathed with steel.
  • a secure and stable frictional connection is made possible in a particularly simple manner by providing an even number, at least four, feet that are arranged rotationally symmetrically and are evenly spaced from one another.
  • this rotationally symmetrical arrangement counteracts the occurrence of imbalances.
  • the receiving unit is preferably constructed symmetrically so that the receiving unit can be inserted into the rotating unit in two positions instead of just one.
  • the shear forces acting on the feet are lower. This results in a lower material load and thus a safe operation of the rotary head.
  • the storage of the receiving unit can be made even more secure in that the rotary head is provided with an upwardly open safety pot which completely surrounds the receiving unit, in particular with the sample container or the sample containers introduced into the sample container receptacle, in the assembled state .
  • This also prevents the receiving unit from breaking out in a direction lateral to the axis of rotation if the wedge effect / clamping effect of the feet and recesses is lost, for example due to material defects.
  • leakage of sample material from the safety pot e.g. after destruction of a sample container, is counteracted if it is completely closed.
  • a circumferential safety channel for receiving escaped sample material is made in the base of the rotary head or in the base of the safety pot. Spilled sample material is caught in it and can be distributed. In this way, an accumulation of leaked sample material in one place, which could be a cause of an imbalance, is avoided.
  • a, in particular completely closed, cover is provided for the safety pot, which is preferably connectable to the latter via a quick-release fastener or a screw connection, the rotary head and especially the bearing connected to the rotary head as well as the rest of the interior of the dual centrifuge are protected from contamination, if a receiving unit and the sample containers contained therein are damaged, since the sample material is prevented from splashing out.
  • the cover can represent a further protection against breaking out of the receiving unit.
  • the base of the safety pot has the feet and / or recesses for connection to the receiving unit. This makes the storage of the receiving unit within the safety pot safer. Furthermore, the protective effect of the safety pot with regard to possible contamination of the surroundings is improved, since the safety pot can be sealed more easily.
  • the safety pot is preferably connected to the rotary head via fastening means, in particular riveted. This ensures that the safety pot does not become detached from the rotating head during operation and damage the centrifuge.
  • the rotary head and the safety pot are designed as an integral, one-piece component made of the same material. By reducing the number of components, the system becomes more stable.
  • the safety pot is preferably completely closed, and it is also advantageous if the lid is also completely closed.
  • the wedge-shaped frictional connection is effective on a side surface of the receiving unit and on a peripheral wall of the safety pot. This configuration is also safe and less prone to failure.
  • the sample container receptacle can preferably be inserted into the receptacle unit and is detachably arranged there.
  • the receptacle unit and the sample container receptacle are thus designed in two parts. In this way, different sample container receptacles can be introduced into a receptacle unit.
  • a set of receiving units is provided for different sample container receptacles for sample containers and / or loads, the respective receiving unit being optionally inserted into the rotary head. This ensures that a wide range of sample containers can be processed in different numbers and that there are always suitable sample container receptacles available, which are secured in the rotating head by strong wedging / jamming.
  • the receiving unit has a receiving space with two legs for two different sample container receptacles. In this way, the number of different receiving units required can be reduced by half.
  • the sample container receptacle is preferably supported in the receptacle space of the receptacle device by a clamping device without play. This causes the sample container to become detached from the Prevents the receiving unit, which increases the safety of the centrifuge during centrifugation and minimizes the risk of damage and contamination in the event of a malfunction.
  • the receptacle is provided with a first stop against which the sample container rests, and a second stop is provided at the end remote from the first stop. The sample container is clamped between the first stop and the second stop.
  • the receiving unit and the sample container receiving means are designed in one piece. This reduces the number of components required and makes the storage of the sample container even safer.

  • the housing 12 is provided on its open side with a flange 19 which runs around the entire circumference and has eight bores 20 that are evenly spaced from one another.
  • the bores 20 are assigned bores 18 in a cover plate 16 which is screwed to the housing 12 by means of cylinder screws 22 and thus closes the open side of the housing 12.
  • the bearing 14 is provided with a concentric recess 14a, and the cover plate 16 with a concentric recess 16a.
  • a bearing shaft 34 of a rotary head 24 engages through the recess 16a in the recess 14a, so that the rotary head 24 is rotatably mounted concentrically in the bearing 14.
  • the rotary head 24 has a base 30 and a wall 28 arranged circumferentially on the base 30.
  • the bottom 30 and the wall 28 form a closed safety pot.
