[0020] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0021] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a filter switching assembly of a spectrophotometer comprises a cam 2, a swing lever 1, a filter disc 3 and a front cover plate 5, the front cover plate 5 is located between the swing lever 1 and the filter disc 3, the swing lever 1 comprises a correction part 11 and a rotating part 12, the rotating part 12 is connected with the filter disc 3 through a rotating shaft 6, the rotating shaft 6 penetrates the front cover plate 5, the cam 2 drives the swing lever 1 to rotate, and the swing lever 1 drives the filter disc 3 to rotate; the rotating part 12 is provided with a cam accommodating groove 121 on an opposite surface 123 of the cam 2, one end surface of the cam 2 is provided with a step 21, and the horizontal surface of the step 21 is connected with the cam accommodating groove 121; the correction part 11 is provided with a correction hole 111, the correction hole 111 is connected with one end of a spring 4, and the other end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected with a screw 51 of the front cover plate 5. The rotating part 12 is provided with a mounting hole 124, and the rotating shaft 6 is inserted into the mounting hole 124. Each step connection position of the step 21 is provided with a slope. The slope design of the step connection position can reduce the impact when the cam contacts the swing lever and improve the transmission stability. The opposite surface 123 is an inclined surface, and the cam accommodating groove 121 is arranged at the position adjacent to the highest point of the inclined surface. The swing lever 1 and the filter disc 3 are connected through the rotating shaft 6, and the filter disc switches the filter disc through the swing of the swing lever 1.
[0022] The swing lever 1 in the utility model is made of plastic material and is formed by a mold, so that the production process is more convenient than the traditional cam swing lever manufacturing, and the production cost is greatly reduced by the plastic material.
[0023] As Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the reinforcing assembly 122 comprises longitudinal reinforcing ribs and transverse reinforcing ribs, the longitudinal reinforcing ribs and the transverse reinforcing ribs are distributed on the side surface of the rotating part 12 in a staggered manner, and the strength and rigidity of the reinforcing parts are realized through the longitudinal reinforcing ribs and the transverse reinforcing ribs.
[0024] In use, the string on the sleeve cam 2 is pulled to rotate the cam 2, the cam 2 rotates to drive the swing rod 1 in contact with the horizontal surface of the step 21 to swing up and down, and drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, so that the filter disc 3 rotates. When the cam 2 runs to the interface of two steps, the vertical surface between the steps is in contact with the inclined surface (i.e. the opposite surface 123) of the swing rod 1, and the swing rod 1 is pressed downward, at this time the horizontal surface of the step 21 is out of the cam accommodating groove 121. When the cam 2 continues to rotate forward, the horizontal surface of the next step 21 will enter the cam accommodating groove 121 again, so as to complete the process of light wave switching. That is, in the use process, when the horizontal surface of the step 21 of the cam is in contact with the cam accommodating groove 121 of the swing rod, the filter disc 3 does not switch, when the horizontal surface of the step 21 of the cam begins to be out of the cam accommodating groove 121 of the swing rod, the filter disc 3 begins to switch, and when the horizontal surface of the next step enters the cam accommodating groove 121 of the swing rod 1, the whole switching process is completed.
[0025] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present application.
