Definitions
- the invention relates to a centrifuge for automatic loading according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- centrifuges with loading openings that open and close automatically are used. This enables automated loading and unloading by robots.
- horizontal or lateral feeding is common, since so-called Scara robots only work in the horizontal direction.
- a generic centrifuge for automatic loading is known from DE 10 2013 104 141 A1.
- This centrifuge comprises a drive shaft that is rotatably mounted and driven about a rotor axis.
- a rotor is arranged on the drive shaft in a rotationally fixed and detachable manner coupled to the drive shaft, which rotor has receptacles for containers for media to be centrifuged.
- the centrifuge comprises a housing with lateral outer walls delimiting the centrifuge and a ceiling. An outer wall has a side opening directed to the side for loading the rotor as required.
- a safety vessel is provided in the housing, into which the drive shaft protrudes concentrically.
- the safety vessel completely surrounds the rotor with respect to the rotor axis along this axis.
- the safety boiler is surrounded by a protective wall which is adapted to the shape of the adjacent outer wall of the housing and closes it in a closed position in the area of the side opening.
- the safety boiler and the protective wall surrounding the safety boiler are firmly connected to one another and form a safety unit arranged in the housing.
- the safety unit interacts with an adjusting mechanism, by means of which the safety unit can be moved relative to the housing in such a way that the protective wall opens and closes the side opening of the outer wall of the housing. The protective wall can thus be moved from a closed position into an open position and vice versa.
- a centrifuge with a side opening and a ceiling opening is known, which together form the loading opening.
- the loading opening can only be rotatably closed by a hatch that can be moved by a rotating mechanism.
- the hatch has at least the shape of the loading opening and adjoins a ceiling of the housing and a side wall of the safety vessel offset by the wall thickness of the ceiling and the side wall.
- the safety vessel has a hatch opening on the circumference, that is to say in the area of the highest loads in the event of a crash, where the broken rotor parts strike, which significantly reduces the stability of the safety vessel.
- the necessary security standard cannot be achieved in this way.
- the centrifuge is only designed for low rotating speeds of the rotor.
- this opening has the disadvantage that air turbulences occur in the gap between the hatch and the safety boiler, which lead to an increased volume level during operation.
- the invention is based on the object of developing a centrifuge according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that flexible opening of the loading opening is ensured while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned, in particular in centrifuges with high rotational speeds. A high stability and a high safety standard for the centrifuge should be guaranteed.
- the subclaims form advantageous developments of the invention.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that by providing a ceiling opening next to a side opening in connection with a two-part, wall-shaped closing element for closing the loading opening, the possibilities of constructing safe centrifuges are increased, in particular in the area of the weak point of the centrifuge, namely the loading opening.
- the side opening therefore extends to the ceiling.
- a ceiling opening is then provided in the ceiling so that a loading opening formed from a side opening and a ceiling opening results, the ceiling opening being able to be opened and closed via a further closing wall by means of a second adjustment mechanism.
- the first and the second locking mechanism are preferably coupled to one another, so that the opening movement and the closing movement of the protective wall and the closing wall are coordinated with one another.
- the coupling can be done electrically or mechanically.
- the first and second adjustment mechanisms are coupled to one another in such a way that the protective wall opens first during the opening movement and, with a time delay, the closing wall; This has the advantage that additional constructive measures to increase the stability in the area of the loading opening in the closed position are made possible.
- the closing wall is preferably mounted such that it can move in translation, in particular at right angles to the rotor axis. This has the advantage that the space required for moving the closing wall remains small.
- the closing wall To increase the stability of the closing wall, it is designed in such a way that it extends into the side opening in the closed position, in particular thereby forming a plane with the protective wall on the outside.
- the stability and security in the closed position in the area of the loading opening is also increased by the fact that in the closed position the closing wall and the protective wall overlap in certain areas and for this purpose the protective wall has a shoulder into which the closing wall engages in certain areas.
- an air intake opening is provided in the closing wall and an air intake opening is provided in the ceiling of the housing, these being aligned with one another in the closed position.
- the air thus initially enters the rotor space through the air intake opening in the ceiling of the housing via the air intake opening in the closing wall.
- a spring which acts on the closing wall in the direction of the closed position, so that the closing wall is opened against the spring force of the spring. This ensures that the closing wall always maintains the closed position during operation and prevents the loading opening from opening unintentionally.
- the closing wall is preferably formed from sheet metal. This enables a compact and inexpensive construction which, however, is also sufficiently deformable to absorb the energy of the impacting parts in the event of damage.
- the safety boiler can also be made from a deep-drawn sheet metal part, which converts the kinetic energy of parts thrown away into deformation energy.
- the protective wall can be part of a protective housing surrounding the safety boiler. This enables a compact design of the centrifuge and further increases safety.
- the protective housing is designed to be completely closed in the horizontal direction over its height. In other words, no openings or recesses for loading and unloading are provided on the circumference. In this way, the most heavily stressed area of a centrifuge in the event of a crash, i.e. there where fragments of a broken rotor hit, is not weakened by a hatch opening.
- the protective housing is preferably formed from sheet metal, which has good energy-absorbing properties in the event of a crash.
- the kinetic energy is easily converted into Deformation energy transferred.
- the safety boiler can also be formed from sheet metal.
- the safety boiler is designed to be rotationally symmetrical.
- the safety vessel can be designed to be closed over its height in the radial direction.
- the safety kettle has a high level of strength, which is not impaired by recesses or openings.
- the closing wall is dimensioned so that in the closed position the closing wall completely covers the safety vessel and / or the closing wall completely covers the protective housing. Then both the closing wall and the cover of the housing are provided at the top, which shield the interior of the rotor and, in the event of damage, serve as an energy absorber for the parts flying from the rotor.
- the safety chamber and / or the protective housing lies or rest against the closing wall in a sealing manner.
- the flow in the rotor space is therefore not impaired by possible leakage.
- the safety vessel and / or the protective housing preferably have or have a seal on their side facing the closing wall in the closed position.
- the closing wall in each case has support walls which extend laterally downward and which are coupled to the second adjusting mechanism.
- the supporting walls are preferably designed in one piece and made of the same material with the closing wall.
- the first adjusting mechanism has at least one push rod which engages laterally in an articulated manner on the safety unit and is articulately coupled to a driven, horizontally displaceable slide on the bottom of the centrifuge. This ensures that the mass required for the adjustment mechanism is arranged close to the ground.
- the second adjusting mechanism preferably has at least one driver in the area of the slide, which engages effectively when the slide has moved a predetermined distance.
- the predetermined path depends on the height of the part of the closing wall that protrudes into the side opening in the closed position.
- the safety vessel can have a central recess which enables the opening and closing movement relative to the drive shaft.
- a safety cover surrounding the drive shaft and covering the central recess in the closed position can be provided which, together with the safety vessel and the closing wall, completely delimits a rotor space with the rotor, except for the penetration of the drive shaft.

- the housing 12 is closed at the top with a ceiling 22 and firmly connected at the bottom with a base plate 24, see FIG. 3 and 4.
- the base plate 24 is provided with a foot 26 in each of its corner regions, that is to say with a total of four feet 26.
- the housing 12 has, in its central area between the end face 14 and the ceiling 22, an adjacent, rectangular recess 28 and 30 which together form a loading and unloading opening 32 of the centrifuge 10.
- the loading and unloading opening 32 is designed to be closable.
- the recess 28 in the end wall 14 is closed by a protective wall 34 and the recess 30 by a closing wall 36.
- An air intake opening 38 is provided adjacent to the recess 30 in the ceiling 22, which is aligned with a further air intake opening 40 in the closing wall 36 when the loading and unloading opening 32 is closed, see FIG. 2.
- the centrifuge 10 has a drive shaft 44 rotatably mounted about a rotor axis 42.
- a rotor 46 is non-rotatably but detachably connected to the drive shaft 44.
- the rotor 46 is provided with hangers 47 on which plates 48 (e.g.
- microtiter plates, deep-well plates are stored with a large number of cavities that are filled with the liquids to be centrifuged. These filled plates are brought into and removed from the centrifuge by means of a robot.
- a safety vessel 50 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical and surrounds the rotor 46 in the radial direction over the entire height and upwards and downwards.
- a circular recess 52 is provided in a base of the safety vessel 50, which is dimensioned such that tilting is possible, as will be described further below. This recess 52 is closed by a rotationally symmetrical cover 54 when the safety vessel 50 is in the operating state of the centrifuge 10, see FIG. 3.
- the cover 54 is coaxially connected to a drive housing 56 via screws 58.
- the drive shaft 44 is rotatably mounted in the drive housing 56 and is driven by a drive motor 60.
- the drive housing 56 is firmly connected to the base plate 24, and above it also the cover 54.
- the cover 54 surrounds the drive shaft 44 without touching it.
- the rotor 46 is mounted on the drive shaft 44 above the cover 54. The drive shaft 44 with the rotor 46 rotates relative to the cover and the drive housing 56 during operation.
- the safety boiler 50 is surrounded by a protective housing 62 which is rectangular.
- the protective housing 62 is provided with an end face which is formed by the protective wall 34.
- a left and a right side wall 64 and a rear wall 66 are provided.
- the protective housing 62 forms a safety unit 68 with the safety vessel 50.
- a circumferential seal 70 is provided on the upper edge of the safety vessel 50.
- the seal 70 lies against the closing wall 36 in a sealing manner when the safety unit 68 is in the operating position of the centrifuge 10, see FIG. 3. In this position there is a through the closing wall 36, the safety vessel 50 and the cover 54 limited and closed rotor interior 72 is formed.
- the drive shaft 44 engages with the rotor 46 in the rotor interior 72.
- the closing wall 36 is laterally provided with a side wall 74 extending in the direction of the base plate 24. In the lower area, the side wall 74 is placed in a guide rail 76, which runs parallel to the base plate 24 and in the longitudinal direction of the centrifuge 10 and is screwed to it, see Figures 7 to 12.
- the closing wall 36 and the side wall 74 thus form a further housing unit 78 which can be moved along the guide rail.
- the closing wall 36 is arranged directly below the ceiling 22 of the housing 12.
- FIGS. 5 to 8 show in detail how the safety unit 68 and the further housing unit 78 with the closing wall 36 are moved so that the centrifuge 10 from an operating position, see FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, into a Loading and unloading position, see Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 8, is transferred.
- a push rod 80 is articulated in each case on the inside of the side wall 64 of the protective housing 62 at its free end in the upper region of the side wall 64 via a hinge 80a.
- the push rod 80 extends as far as the guide rail 76 and there engages in an articulated manner in a slide 82 which is mounted displaceably in the guide rail 76.
- the slide 82 in turn engages in a further slide 84 which is guided in a further guide rail 86.
- the further guide rail 86 runs parallel to the guide rail 76.
- the carriage 82 and the further carriage 84 are coupled to one another, as will be described in detail further below.
- the further slide 84 is connected to a threaded spindle 88.
- the threaded spindle 88 is in turn connected to a drive 90.
- the drive 90 drives the threaded spindle 88 so that it rotates.
- the further slide 84 engaging in the threaded spindle 88 and its thread is thereby moved in a translatory manner along the further guide rails 86.
- a hinge 92 is provided, via which the safety unit 68 is pivotably mounted about a fixed axis.
- the hinge 92 is connected to the base plate 24 via support arms, which are not shown here for reasons of clarity.
- the first slide 82 is connected to a spiral spring 94, which in turn engages the side wall 74 of the further housing unit 78 on the side remote from the first slide 82.
- the closing wall 36 is thereby held in the direction of the operating position via the spiral spring 94, that is to say is acted upon by the force of the spiral spring 94.
- slides 82, 84 and guide rails 76, 86 and threaded spindle 88 is present on both side walls 74 of the further housing unit 78. Only the drive 90 is only present on one side, this being connected to the further threaded spindle 88 via a toothed belt. As a result, both threaded spindles 88 are driven synchronously and thus the carriages 82, 84 are moved on both side walls 74.
- the closing wall 36 is designed at its free end in such a way that it extends into the recess 28 in some areas.
- the assigned area of the protective wall 34 is provided with a shoulder so that the protective wall 34 and the closing wall 36 overlap in the operating position, see FIGS. 3 and 5.
- the first guide rails 76 and the second guide rails 86 are shown in detail.
- the side wall 74 engages in the first guide rails 76.
- the first guide rail 76 is aligned parallel to the side wall 74 with regard to its base area.
- the side wall 74 is provided with a driver 96.
- the driver 96 is arranged in relation to the slides 82 and 84 that a stop 98 assigned to the driver 96 and connected to the second slide 84 only engages the driver 96 when the slide 84 has moved a predetermined distance .
- the second guide rail 86 consists essentially of two guide rods on which the second slide 84 is arranged.
- the base of the second guide rail 86 is parallel to the base plate 24.
- the first slide 82 engages in the first guide rail 76.
- the second carriage 84 has an L-shaped support structure, the upper part of which is connected to one end of the spiral spring 94.
- a joint 100 for the push rod 80 projects vertically from the supporting structure.
- the rear of the stop 98 is adapted to the shape of the joint 100.
- FIGS. 5 and 9 show the situation of the centrifuge 10 in its operating position.
- the closing wall 36 closes the recess 30 in the ceiling 22 and the protective wall 34 closes the recess 28 in the end wall 14.
- the loading and unloading opening 32 is closed.
- the centrifuge 10 can treat the introduced media in the sample containers in the rotor 46 by centrifugation.
- the loading and unloading opening 32 must be opened.
- the protective wall 34 and thus the safety unit 68 are first tilted downwards in that the slide 82 with the slide 84 is moved to the right by the drive 90.
- the push rod 80 swivels as a result and the safety unit 68 folds around the stationary hinge 92. This is necessary so that the overlapping area of the closing wall 36 and protective wall 34 initially moves apart.
- This first intermediate position when moving from the operating position into a loading and unloading position is shown in FIG.
- the safety unit 68 swivels with the protective wall 34 around the hinge 92 until the safety unit 68 rests with its front lower end and the lower end of the protective wall 34 on a stationary support 102.
- the support 102 is firmly connected to the base plate.
- the pivoting of the safety unit 68 is initiated by the movement of the slide 82 with the slide 84.
- the push rod pivots about the joint 100.
- the further housing unit 78 moves with the slides 82 and 84 until the front end of the safety unit rests on the support 102. This situation is shown in FIGS. 1, 7 and 11.
- the slide 84 continues to move, the slide 82 stops, since further pivoting is no longer possible.
- the slide 82 with the push rod 80 and the safety unit 68 is held via the hinge 92.
- the carriage 84 driven by the drive 90, moves further into the loading and unloading position and thus also the further housing unit 78 comprising the closing wall 36 and the two side walls 74. This situation is shown in FIGS. 4, 8 and 12 .
- the division into 2 adjustment mechanisms is not really correct.
- the slide 84 driven by the threaded spindle and motor, takes the first slide with it on the one hand (driver function on the left-hand side) and on the other hand, with a time delay, the closing wall (driver function on the right-hand side).
- Carrier function on the left lower the boiler from closed to open in the end position
- Carrier function on the right move the closing wall
- Phase 1 Taking the first bearing 82-> tilting the safety unit 68, closing wall 36 is in place
- Phase 2 Taking the first bearing 82-> tilting the safety unit 68 and taking the closing wall 36 with you
- Phase 3 first bearing 82 stops, safety unit has reached end position, closing wall 36 is moved further into end position.
- the movements of the protective wall 34 and the closing wall 36 are thus coordinated and coupled with one another.
- the protective wall 34 opens first and the closing wall 36 with a time delay.
- the closing wall 36 moves in a translatory manner parallel to the guide rails 76 and thus at right angles to the rotor axis 42.
- the protective housing 62 and the safety boiler 50 and thus the protective wall 34, but also the closing wall 36, are formed from sheet metal. Both the protective housing 62 and the safety vessel 50 are designed to be closed over their height in the horizontal direction.
- the closing wall 36 completely covers the safety boiler 50 in the operating position / closing position.
- Safety unit consisting of safety boiler 50 and protective housing 62
