  • Publication number: 20180345237
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stirrer set, comprising: a fitting tube having an opening portion and a hollow rotating shaft fitted into the opening portion, the hollow rotating shaft having an external wall which is annularly recessed to form at least one annular groove. The present invention also provides a stirring device, wherein a drive element comprising a power transmission element, such as a belt, may be rotatably driven to cause, via the power transmission element, the stirrer set to rotate for performing a stirring function. As such, the stirring device provides higher design flexibility when dealing with high-flux samples, and the element replacement rates can be significantly reduced. Thus, the costs related to manufacturing, repair, maintenance and other processes can be reduced in an effective manner.

  • Patent number: 9616398
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stirring device and gear train, the stirring device comprises at least one gear; at least one stirring tube; and at least one connecting portion connecting the gear and the stirring tube. Wherein the gear, the connecting portion, and the stirring portion are hollow, and the gear rotates the stirring tube via the connecting portion. Stirring is performed by utilizing the gear and the stirring tube in the stirring device of the present invention. Not only does the biggest flux be achieved per area, but the problem about cross contamination can also be reduced. In addition, in the gear train, the collimation of the stirring device can be increased by a specific hollow gear and a lengthened hollow bearing train forth in the gear train.
