Definitions

  • This invention relates to orbital platforms for use in, for example, laboratory shakers and incubators.
  • Agitation is, for many applications, most suitably provided by supporting a flask or other container of liquid on a flat horizontal platform which is subjected to orbital motion in the plane of the platform.
  • the orbital motion may follow a variety of patterns, but it is generally found that a circular orbit is suitable.
  • This motion is conventionally achieved by means of a plurality of eccentric crank mechanisms, each precisely made to match the other eccentrics in radius, angular alignment and location.
  • the bearings of the eccentrics also have to carry the weight and dynamic forces of the platform whilst also
  • the principal object of the present invention is to provide an orbital platform mechanism which overcomes or at least substantially reduces the abovedescribed disadvantages.
  • an orbital mechanism comprising a base, a platform or other support means, drive means for effecting orbital motion of the platform or other support means relative to the base and compliant mounting means supporting the platform or other support means relative to the base, said compliant mounting means including components accommodating motion of the platform or other support means relative to the base in plural transverse directions.
  • the compliant mounting means comprises a first pair of parallel
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET compliant linkages connection connecting the base to an intermediate member and a second pair of parallel compliant linkages connecting the intermediate member to the platform, the first and second pairs of linkages being transverse to each other, and preferably being mutually orthogonal, and being arranged in planes substantially parallel to the plane of the platform.
  • the compliant linkages in such an embodiment can be compliant by virtue of being flexible, and also rigid linkages pivotally connected to the base and the intermediate member or to the intermediate member and the platform, as the case may be, may additionally or alternatively be employed.
  • the first and second pairs of parallel compliant linkages can advantageously be arranged such that one pair lies between the members of the other pair. It is particularly preferred that the second pair of parallel compliant linkages be arranged between the members of the first pair of parallel compliant linkages.
  • the mounting means is preferably itself capable of supporting the platform and this may conveniently be achieved by forming the linkages as flexible strips, e.g. of steel, of sufficient thickness to support the weight of the platform and of the load placed on it. The stiffness of such strips results in
  • each flexible strip may be a single strip or may be a laminar assembly of more than one strip.
  • the drive means is preferably an electric motor and may be connected to the platform by various means, e.g. cams and links. It is preferred, however, that the drive means be connected to the platform via a single eccentric crank which can generate a required circular motion of fixed radius. Th drive means may be connected to any part of the platform, since the same motion is imparted to all parts of the platform.
  • FIG 1 is a perspective view (partially cut away) of an orbital shaker according to the invention.
  • the orbital shaker comprises a base 1, a sample-bearing platform 20 (indicated by the dashed line) and drive means in the form of an electric motor (not shown) connected to the platform by a drive shaft 2 and an eccentric crank 3.
  • the platform is supported and connected to the base 1 by compliant mounting means comprising two base brackets 4, 5 which are connected to an intermediate bracket 6 by a pair of flexible steel spring strips 7, 8 which allow approximately linear oscillation in the horizontal plane.
  • From an extension 9 of the intermediate bracket 6 are attached two further spring strips 10, 11 which are set perpendicular to the first pair of spring strips 7, 8.
  • the second pair of strips 10, 11 connect the intermediate bracket 6 to a platform support bracket 12 such that the platform support bracket 12 can move with approximate linear motion in the horizontal plane relative to the intermediate bracket 6.
  • the platform is attached to the platform support bracket 12 by means of two bolts 13, 14.
  • containers of material to be agitated are

Abstract

Mécanisme à plateau orbital pour secoueuses et étuves à incubation de laboratoire, constitué d'un support (1), d'un plateau (20), de dispositifs de montage résilients (7, 8, 10, 11) portant le plateau au-dessus du support, ainsi qu'un moteur d'entraînement couplé au plateau par un excentrique (3) afin d'imprimer au plateau un mouvement orbital relatif au support. Le dispositif de montage résilient est constitué d'un élément de support intermédiaire (6) porté au-dessus du support (1) par une première paire de feuillards métalliques résilients et parallèles (7, 8), et d'un élément de support (12) du plateau monté sur l'élément de support intermédiaire (6) par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde paire de feuillards métalliques parallèles (10, 11), les premières et seconde paires de feuillards étant disposées de manière orthogonale l'une par rapport à l'autre. Le mécanisme ainsi obtenu est un mécanisme simple et peu coûteux pouvant être actionné par un moteur électrique de basse puissance.
