Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mixing apparatus, in particular for mixing substances in closed containers.
  • piercing ampoules can be arranged on a swivel table which can be swiveled by means of a drive.
  • the swivel table comprises individual specific holders for ampoules with different diameters or the swivel table comprises a pattern of fingers which protrude from the table top and between which different ampoules can be arranged, with smaller ampoules rolling back and forth between the fingers when swiveled.
  • a holder for ampoules is rotatably mounted on two sides, the holder being pivotable by means of a drive.
  • An ampoule can be inserted in each container holder of the holder.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a mixing apparatus in which the risk of confusion is reduced and in which the insertion and removal of the containers which contain substances to be mixed is facilitated.
  • a mixing apparatus comprises a drive unit with a drive and with a shaft which is pivotable about a pivot axis and which is operatively connected to the drive, a pivot holder which is arranged on the shaft, the pivot axis being oriented essentially horizontally, the pivot holder comprising a base, on which receptacles are provided, which extend away from the base and into which holders for containers can be inserted.
  • the drive unit comprises a housing in which an electro-mechanical drive, with or without a gear, is arranged.
  • the base can be designed as a plate or as a frame.
  • the swivel mount can be swiveled around the swivel axis by any angle in both directions. That the swivel mount can be pivoted back and forth by any angle, for example by means of the drive unit, or the swivel mount can be rotated one or more times around the pivot axis in one of the two directions of rotation.
  • Powders or fluids such as suspensions or emulsions, can therefore be mixed.
  • whole blood i.e. Blood plasma or blood serum can be mixed with blood cells on their own or with additional substances.
  • the substances to be mixed can be filled into test tubes or ampoules.
  • Prick ampoules include glass or plastic containers, which are closed at the top with a lid that includes a septum.
  • the septum comprises a soft plastic, for example made of PTFE or silicone, which can be pierced with a pipette needle or tip.
  • a lid can be screwed onto the open-topped container with a thread.
  • the mixing apparatus comprises a control unit with which the swivel angle, the swivel speed and the swivel direction can be set are. By setting these values, an optimal mixture of substances can be achieved.
  • the receptacles comprise first receptacles which are arranged in an area of the base near the shaft and second receptacles which are arranged in an area of the base remote from the shaft.
  • the holders can be inserted into the first receptacle with a first end and into the second receptacle with a second end. The position and orientation of each holder is thus clearly and reliably determined. Between one of the first receptacles and a second receptacle aligned with it in the direction of the pivot axis, further receptacles aligned with it can be provided.
  • the additional receptacles give the holders additional hold or they allow the insertion of shorter holders which do not extend over the entire length of the swivel receptacle.
  • the receptacles comprise elevations which can protrude into complementary recesses in the ends of the holders.
  • the elevations are elements that extend directly from the base of the swivel mount.
  • the elevations can be pins, for example pins with a circular cross section. However, other cross sections are also conceivable.
  • the elevations can also be slot nuts, for example for T-slots or dovetail slots.
  • the receptacles can also include recesses into which complementary elevations of the ends of the holders can protrude, and which also form a pin-hole connection or a slot nut-slot connection.
  • several receptacles are arranged next to one another in a direction transverse to the pivot axis.
  • several identical or different holders can be inserted next to each other in the swivel holder, whereby the contents of several containers can be mixed at the same time.
  • the recordings are arranged symmetrically with respect to the pivot axis.
  • the mixing apparatus comprises first spacers which can be inserted into the receptacles and into which the holders for the containers can be inserted, and second spacers which are arranged between the receptacles and on which the holders for the containers can rest.
  • the spacers increase the distance between the inserted holders and the base of the swivel mount. This is advantageous if shorter vessels are to be inserted into the holders and the upper end of the inserted vessels should be at substantially the same distance from the base as the longer vessels.
  • By grading the thickness of the spacers it is possible to ensure that the upper ends of the conventional vessels are essentially aligned with one another when they are in the mixing apparatus. Different spacers can be arranged on the swivel mount at the same time, as a result of which different vessels can be arranged in the mixing apparatus at the same time and their upper ends are essentially flush with one another.
  • third receptacles are provided on the swivel receptacle on the side of the receptacles, with which a retaining element can be fixed or removed at least in the area between the receptacles spaced apart from the base.
  • the third receptacles are designed in such a way that the retaining element can be removed or slidably arranged therein. Accordingly, a releasable holding element can be provided or a sliding element can be provided with which the retaining element can be moved or pivoted in one plane.
  • the mixing apparatus comprises a bearing unit which lies opposite the drive unit with respect to the swivel mount and in which the swivel mount is pivotably mounted in alignment with the shaft. Due to the double-sided mounting of the swivel mount, the corresponding bearings and the swivel mount have to be dimensioned a few stable, which means that they take up less space and less mass has to be moved.
  • the mixing apparatus comprises at least one holder for containers which can be inserted into the receptacles.

Accordingly, a slot and a window, two slots or two windows can be assigned to each container receptacle.
  • a clamping tab can be provided for each window of the holder, which protrudes through the window into the respective container receptacle, as a result of which a container accommodated therein can be clamped in it.
  • a tab plate can be arranged on the holder, which comprises all clamping tabs.
  • the mixing apparatus comprises at least one retaining element, which is arranged in the third receptacles.
  • the retaining element comprises a perforated plate, the holes being arranged such that they are aligned with the container receptacles formed in the holder, the inner dimensions of the holes being smaller than the inner dimensions of the container receptacles.

  • the mixing system comprises a reading unit with which markings can be read from the containers to be picked up by the mixing apparatus.
  • the markings can be selected from the group comprising 1D barcode, 2D barcode, RFID tag and the like.
  • the insertion can be an insert, for example if the swivel mount comprises cylindrical pins and the holder is provided with correspondingly complementary bores.
  • the insertion can also be an insertion, for example if the swivel receptacle comprises sliding blocks and the holder is provided with a correspondingly complementary groove.
  • fastening elements can be removed, which fix the retaining element in the corresponding receptacles, and the retaining element can then be lifted off and placed at a different location independently of the mixing apparatus.
  • the retaining element can be pushed linearly away from the area above the swivel mount by means of a displacement mechanism.
  • this can be done Retaining element can be pivoted away from the area above the pivot mount in one plane by means of a twisting mechanism. If the retaining element is arranged in a fixed manner on the swivel receptacle, then the holder must be pushed into the swivel receptacle under the retaining element, for example along the swivel axis.
  • the contents of a mother tube which contains whole blood, for example, can be mixed on its own or with additional substances.
