Campo de la invenciónField of the Invention
La presente invención se refiere a un carrusel portaplacas para incubadora robotizada de muestras de laboratorio que incrementa notablemente la capacidad de las incubadoras mediante una distribución de las muestras en un carrusel de nuevo diseño. El carrusel portaplacas para incubadora robotizada de muestras de laboratorio objeto de la invención es de aplicación en los laboratorios donde se desarrollan muestras de material biológico.The present invention relates to a plate carousel for a robotic laboratory sample incubator that greatly increases the capacity of incubators by distributing the samples on a newly designed carousel.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the Invention
A la hora de desarrolla muestras de laboratorio, es necesario mantener las muestras en el interior de unas incubadoras donde se mantiene un ambiente controlado y con unas condiciones específicas de cantidad de O2 o de CO2 dependiendo del tipo de cultivo a desarrollar.When developing laboratory samples, it is necessary to keep the samples inside incubators where a controlled environment is maintained and with specific conditions of quantity of O 2 or CO 2 depending on the type of culture to be developed.
Las incubadoras son elementos unitarios donde bien se desarrollar un cultivo en condiciones de O2 o de CO2 , pero nunca de los dos a la vez, y por tanto en un laboratorio donde se desarrollen los dos tipos de cultivos, se requiere de espacio para situar en planta incubadoras de O2 e incubadoras de CO2, lo que se traduce en una pérdida de espacio para otros usos.Incubators are unitary elements where either a culture is developed under conditions of O 2 or CO 2 , but never both at the same time, and therefore in a laboratory where the two types of cultures are developed, space is required for Placing O 2 incubators and CO 2 incubators in the plant, which translates into a loss of space for other uses.
Asimismo, existen multitud de incubadoras robotizadas, donde cada incubadora tiene su propio sistema robótico, con la ocupación de dicho sistema robótico y el coste del mismo.Likewise, there are many robotic incubators, where each incubator has its own robotic system, with the occupation of said robotic system and its cost.
En el interior de las incubadoras, las placas donde se desarrollan los cultivos se encuentran sobre carruseles portaplacas, que tienen forma circular y cuenta con placas de cultivo distribuidas de manera unitaria a lo largo de la forma circular, lo que también genera mucho espacio hueco entre las distintas placas y exista espacio que es susceptible de ser aprovechado para situar mayor cantidad de placas.Inside the incubators, the plates where the cultures are developed are located on plate-carrying carousels, which are circular in shape and have culture plates distributed unitarily along the circular form, which also generates a lot of hollow space between the different plates and there is space that can be used to locate more plates.

Descripción detallada de la invenciónDetailed description of the invention
Para mejorar la eficiencia en la ocupación de superficie en planta de una incubadora, es objeto de la invención un carrusel portaplacas para incubadora robotizada de muestras de laboratorio que comprende un portador base (1) que sirve de apoyo para, en la realización de las figuras 1 a 4, cuatro portadores secundarios (2), tal que los portadores secundarios (2) se sitúan sobre el portador base (1) en los vértices (4) de un polígono, y tal que cada portador secundario (2) sirve de apoyo para, en la realización citada, grupos de seis placas (3) que se sitúan en los vértices (4) de un hexágono.In order to improve the efficiency in occupying the floor area of an incubator, the object of the invention is a plate carousel for a robotic incubator for laboratory samples that includes a base carrier (1) that serves as a support for, in the embodiment of the figures. 1 to 4, four secondary carriers (2), such that the secondary carriers (2) are placed on the base carrier (1) at the vertices (4) of a polygon, and such that each secondary carrier (2) serves as support for, in the mentioned embodiment, groups of six plates (3) that are located at the vertices (4) of a hexagon.
En la realización mencionada, los portadores secundarios (2) también se distribuyen en altura, es decir se localiza en cada vértice (4) del polígono del portador base (1) una pluralidad de portadores secundarios (2) en forma de torre de portadores secundarios (2), lo que significa que existen grupos de seis placas (3) apilados en torno a un eje central (5) que se une a una placa base (7) del portador secundario (2).In the mentioned embodiment, the secondary carriers (2) are also distributed in height, that is to say, a plurality of secondary carriers (2) in the form of a tower of secondary carriers is located at each vertex (4) of the base carrier polygon (1). (2), which means that there are groups of six plates (3) stacked around a central axis (5) that joins a base plate (7) of the secondary carrier (2).
En la realización que aparece reflejada en las figuras 1 a 4, el portador secundario (2) del carrusel objeto de la invención comprende ejes perpendiculares (6) para unir cada placa (3) al eje central (5), tal que los ejes perpendiculares (6) son los elementos sobre los que se apoya cada placa (3) del carrusel objeto de la invención.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the secondary carrier (2) of the carousel object of the invention comprises perpendicular axes (6) to join each plate (3) to the central axis (5), such that the perpendicular axes (6) are the elements on which each plate (3) of the carousel object of the invention rests.
El carrusel que aparece reflejado en las figuras 1 a 4, muestra una realización concreta con un ejemplo de una distribución que pueden tener las placas (3) maximizando el número de placas (3) en el interior de la incubadora, pero no es un ejemplo limitativo sino aclarativo, ya que el objetivo del carrusel portaplacas objeto de la invención es maximizar la cantidad de placas (3) que se localizan en el interior de una incubadora robotizada para maximizar la producción de los ensayos que se llevan a cabo en este tipo de incubadoras.The carousel shown in Figures 1 to 4 shows a specific embodiment with an example of a distribution that the plates (3) can have, maximizing the number of plates (3) inside the incubator, but it is not an example limitative but clarifying, since the objective of the plate-carrying carousel object of the invention is to maximize the number of plates (3) that are located inside a robotic incubator to maximize the production of the tests that are carried out in this type of incubators .
Además, el hecho de que la distribución de las placas (3) se base en polígonos tanto sobre el portador secundario (2) como sobre el portador base (1), es para que la localización en el interior de la incubadora robotizada de las placas (3) se base en la geometría de estos polígonos y el sistema robótico tenga esa geometría programada para el control de todas las placas (3) sin error. Furthermore, the fact that the distribution of the plates (3) is based on polygons both on the secondary carrier (2) and on the base carrier (1), is so that the location inside the robotic incubator of the plates (3) is based on the geometry of these polygons and the robotic system has that geometry programmed to control all the plates (3) without error.
