It aims to highly automate the physical operations, experimental procedures, data acquisition and analysis, and decision-making within the laboratory, significantly improving experimental efficiency, data quality, repeatability, safety, and research output.

[0003] In the automated operation of smart laboratories, existing technology platforms lack certain buffering designs during use. The impact of equipment start-up and shutdown is directly transmitted to experimental instruments, affecting the stability of liquid reactions. At the same time, as the impact force gradually increases, instruments placed on the platform surface are prone to shaking or falling, resulting in a certain waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated platform suitable for intelligent laboratories, aiming to solve the problems in the existing technology where there is a lack of buffer design during use, the impact of equipment start-up and shutdown is directly transmitted to experimental instruments, affecting the stability of liquid reactions, and as the impact force gradually increases, instruments placed on the platform surface are prone to shaking or falling, thus causing a certain waste of resources.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automation platform suitable for smart laboratories includes:

[0007] The automated platform itself;

[0008] Multiple sliding columns are fixedly connected to the lower end of the automated platform body; multiple buffer shells are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the multiple sliding columns.

[0009] Multiple sets of buffer mechanisms, each set of buffer mechanisms including:

[0010] A support base, fixedly connected to the inner surface of the buffer shell, wherein a sliding plate and a sliding rod are slidably connected to the inner surface of the support base, and the upper end of the sliding plate and the lower end of the sliding rod are fixedly connected; and

[0011] A support assembly is disposed within a buffer housing to support and limit the sliding rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each set of support components includes:

[0013] A buffer plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod. The upper end of the buffer plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding column. A spring is provided on the outer surface of the support base. The outer surface of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the buffer plate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower ends of the plurality of buffer shells are fixedly connected to threaded seats, and the outer surfaces of the plurality of threaded seats are threadedly connected to adjusting seats.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the automated platform body is fixedly connected to a limiting seat, the upper end of the limiting seat is threaded with multiple bolts, and the outer surface of the limiting seat is fixedly connected with multiple support blocks.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the automated platform body is provided with a fixing groove, the inner surface of the fixing groove is provided with a protective pad, and the lower end of the automated platform body is fixedly connected with a support frame.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the outer surfaces of the plurality of buffer shells is fixedly connected to two connecting seats, and each of the inner surfaces of the plurality of connecting seats is rotatably connected to a plurality of support plates via a rotating shaft, and the plurality of support plates are arranged in a cross shape.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the multiple adjustment seats has a mounting groove at its lower end, and a buffer pad is fixedly connected to the inner surface of each of the multiple mounting grooves.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. In this solution, when external vibration is transmitted to the buffer shell, it pushes the sliding plate to slide within the support base. The sliding plate drives the fixedly connected sliding rod to move down, compressing the spring to store energy. The spring releases energy to push the buffer plate up, offsetting the impact force. When vibration or load shift occurs, it has a certain buffer design to absorb and buffer the impact of equipment start-up and shutdown, avoiding direct transmission to the experimental apparatus, ensuring the reaction stability of the liquid inside the experimental apparatus, and solving the problem of the apparatus placed on the platform surface shaking or falling as the impact force gradually increases, thus reducing some resource waste.

[0021] 2. In this scheme, the lateral stress is dispersed by the expansion and contraction deformation of the two intersecting support plates around the pivot of the connecting seat. The residual vibration is transmitted to the buffer pad at the bottom through the adjustment seat, and the energy is further absorbed through its deformation. Attached Figure Description

[0040] In this embodiment: the buffer plate 16 is fixed to the upper end of the sliding rod 14 and connected to the lower end of the sliding column 2, so as to transmit the vibration energy to the spring 15. The spring 15 is sleeved on the outer surface of the support base 13, and its two ends are respectively connected to the support base 13 and the buffer plate 16, and absorbs the vibration energy through elastic deformation.

[0041] Please refer to the details. Figure 3Each of the multiple buffer shells 3 has a threaded seat 4 fixedly connected to its lower end, and each of the multiple threaded seats 4 has an adjusting seat 5 threadedly connected to its outer surface.

[0042] In this embodiment: the threaded seat 4 is fixed to the lower end of the buffer shell 3, and provides a threaded interface to connect the adjusting seat 5. The adjusting seat 5 achieves fine height adjustment by rotating the thread to ensure the platform is level and stable.

[0043] Please refer to the details. Figure 3 The upper end of the automated platform body 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting seat 8, and the upper end of the limiting seat 8 is threaded with multiple bolts 9. Multiple support blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting seat 8.

[0044] In this embodiment: the limiting seat 8 is fixed to the upper end of the automated platform body 1 to provide a positioning reference for the experimental instrument; the bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the limiting seat 8 to clamp and fix the experimental instrument; and the support block 10 is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting seat 8 to enhance the lateral support stability of the instrument.

[0046] In this embodiment: the fixing groove 17 is opened at the upper end of the automated platform body 1 to embed experimental instruments and prevent displacement; the protective pad 18 is attached to the inner surface of the fixing groove 17 to prevent the instruments from directly contacting the platform, and to prevent slipping and scratching; the support frame 11 is fixed at the lower end of the automated platform body 1 to enhance the overall structural rigidity.

[0047] Please refer to the details. Figure 1 Each of the multiple buffer shells 3 has two connecting seats 6 fixedly connected to its outer surface. Each of the multiple connecting seats 6 has multiple support plates 7 rotatably connected to its inner surface via a rotating shaft. The multiple support plates 7 are arranged in pairs in a cross shape.

[0048] In this embodiment: the connecting seat 6 is symmetrically fixed to the outer surface of the buffer shell 3, providing a pivot connection point for the support plate 7.

When external vibration is transmitted to the buffer shell 3, it pushes the sliding plate 19 to slide in the support seat 13. The sliding plate 19 drives the fixedly connected sliding rod 14 to move down, compressing the spring 15 to store energy. The spring 15 releases energy to push the buffer plate 16 to move up, offsetting the impact force. When there is vibration or load shift, the two intersecting support plates 7 expand and contract around the rotating shaft of the connecting seat 6 to disperse the lateral stress. The residual vibration is transmitted to the buffer pad 12 at the bottom through the adjusting seat 5, and further absorbs energy through its deformation.
