CENTRIFUGE DEVICE AND LOCK MODULE
20220176388 · 2022-06-09 · ·

A centrifuge device, including a base, a rotation platform, and a lock module, is provided. The rotation platform is disposed on the base and adapted to support a rotor of a centrifugal bowl. The rotor is rotatably connected to a stator of the centrifugal bowl. The lock module includes a main body, a lock assembly, and a positioning component. The main body is disposed on the base. The lock assembly is movably connected to the main body and located above the rotation platform. The lock assembly is adapted to be operated to a first state to lock the stator and a second state to be separated from the stator. The positioning component is movably connected to the main body. The positioning component is adapted to move to a first position to position the lock assembly to the first state and a second position to release the lock assembly.

CENTRIFUGE HAVING A DRUM TOOL
20210362165 · 2021-11-25 ·

A separator for centrifugally processing includes a rotatable drum having at least two drum parts, which can be rotated relative to one another at a screw thread. A drum tool is designed to open and close the drum by rotating the drum parts screwed together by the screw thread. The drum tool includes a retaining element attachable to the one drum part, a driver element attachable to the other, relatively rotatable drum part, and at least one rotation device for the relative rotation between the retaining element and the driver element together with the drum parts. The retaining and driver elements each having two or more points of engagement for the rotation device. The points of engagement are symmetrically arranged in such a way that forces produced by the rotation device produce a torque for the relative rotation of the drum parts, but no resulting force acting on the screwed drum parts on one side is produced.
