[0028] Further, the gravity-triggered clamping mechanism includes a plurality of evenly distributed spring pieces 12 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the middle tube 13, a support sheet 11 for supporting the test tube 3 is fixedly placed on the top of the plurality of spring pieces 12, and the bottom surfaces of the test tube holders 8 on both sides of the middle tube 13 are fixedly connected with vertical vertical sliding shafts 25, one end of the horizontal lifting shaft 35 is slidably connected to the vertical sliding shaft 25, and a slider 26 is slidably connected to the upper side, and the front side of the slider 26 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 33 through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the second connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the middle tube 13 The outer end of the mounting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the wall, and the rear side surface of the slider 26 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 30 through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the first connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 31 through the rotating shaft, and the connecting rod 31 is slidably connected to the through hole opened in the side wall of the middle tube 13, and the end of the connecting rod 31 in the middle tube 13 is fixedly connected with a stop block 10, and the stop block 10 is integrally formed into a curved structure matching the outer periphery of the test tube 3, and the inner bottom of the middle tube 13 is also provided with a trigger component for lifting the lifting shaft 35 when the test tube 3 is under weight.

[0034] Furthermore, an annular guide rail is fixedly connected to the circumference of the upper surface of the lifting plate 7, and a ball 23 is rollingly connected to the annular guide rail.

The test tube holder 8 is also provided with a limiting mechanism for temporarily positioning it with the lifting plate 7 after it is rotated to the desired position.
[0035] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a plurality of vertical through holes around the test tube holder 8 for the clamping screw 32 to pass through, and a threaded tube 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the through hole corresponding to the upper surface of the test tube holder 8, and a clamping screw 32 is threadedly connected in the threaded tube 24.
