[0056] As Figures 10 - 11The shown cantilever support part 5 has an L-shaped mounting plate 51, an upper support bearing 52, a lower support bearing 53, a side support bearing 54 and a support unit. An upper support bearing 52 is arranged on the side surface at the intersection of the horizontal section and the vertical section of the L-shaped mounting plate 51. A lower support bearing 53 is arranged below the upper support bearing 52. The top of the horizontal section of the L-shaped mounting plate 51 is fixedly connected to one end of a connecting plate. At the bottom of the other end of the connecting plate, there are two vertically arranged side support bearings 54. The rolling surfaces of the side support bearings 54 and the upper support bearing 52 are perpendicular to each other. Among them, the lower part of the vertical section of the L-shaped mounting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the cantilever end of the Y-axis linear slide 3.

[0057] The support unit has an L-shaped support plate 55 and a support bar 56. The support bar 56 has a plurality of uniformly distributed vertical oblong holes.

The rolling surface of the upper support bearing 52 presses on the upper surface of the support bar 56. However, there is a certain distance between the upper support bearing 52 and the lower support bearing 53. Generally, the rolling surface of the lower support bearing 53 does not contact the lower surface of the support bar 56. And the lower support bearing 53 has multiple mounting points on the L-shaped mounting plate 51 to prevent the support bar 56 from deforming and jamming, which affects the normal operation of the device. Moreover, during the sampling process, under the action of the force generated when the sampling part 6 rises, the lower support bearing 53 will contact the lower surface of the support bar 56, and at the same time, it will react on the lower sampling part 6 below to ensure that there is no deformation in the Z direction due to the cantilever during sampling. The outer side surface of the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 55 contacts the rolling surfaces of the two side support bearings 54. The two side support bearings 54 move in the X direction following the Y-axis linear slide 3. When the Y-axis linear slide 3 stops moving in the X direction, it can support the cantilever end. At the same time, it can absorb the yaw amount of the cantilever end of the Y-axis linear slide 3, ensuring that the yaw amount of the cantilever end is greatly reduced, so that the sampling part 6 can perform sampling work quickly and stably, avoiding affecting the normal operation of the device. Among them, the support unit with the L-shaped support plate 55 and the support bar 56 is arranged in parallel with the X-axis linear slide 2. Adjusting bolts 57 are arranged at both upper ends above the support bar 56 on the outer side surface of the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 55. The adjusting bolts 57 are fixed on the outer side surface of the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 55 through a fixing block. By adjusting the height of the adjusting bolts 57, the levelness of the support bar 56 is adjusted to ensure the smooth movement of the Y-axis linear slide 3 in the X-axis direction.

[0058] Among them, the support unit is fixed on the frame 1 through the horizontal plate of the L-shaped support plate 55.

The sensing head is between the sensors 67 for detecting the presence or absence of the TIP head 66. When there is a TIP head 66, the sensing head is between the sensors 73. When there is no TIP head 66, the TIP head sensor 68 moves downward under the action of the elastic force, and the sensing head is below the sensor 73; the lower port of the adapter 65 is connected to the TIP head 66. Under the action of the two protruding rings 71 at the lower port of the adapter 65, a sealed connection is formed between the adapter 65 and the TIP head 66; the plunger pump 63, the sampling connector 64, the adapter 65, and the TIP head 66 form a sealed channel. Under the action of the plunger pump motor 62, the plunger in the plunger pump 63 makes an up-and-down reciprocating motion, generating a pressure difference in the cavity of the plunger pump 63, thereby enabling the TIP head 66 to complete the sampling action.

[0060] A brief description of the working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0061] The movement of the sampling part 6 in the X-axis direction is realized by the X-axis linear slide 2;

[0062] The movement of the sampling part 6 in the Y-axis direction is realized by the Y-axis linear slide 3;

[0063] The movement of the sampling part 6 in the Z-axis direction is realized by the Z-axis linear slide 4;

[0064] During the movement of the sampling part 6 in the X-axis direction, the yaw amount at the cantilever end of the Y-axis linear slide 3 is supported and absorbed by the cantilever support part 5, ensuring that the yaw amount at the cantilever end is greatly reduced, so that the sampling part 6 can perform the sampling work quickly and stably, avoiding affecting the normal operation of this device;

[0065] Under the action of the plunger pump motor 62, the plunger in the plunger pump 63 reciprocates up and down, generating a pressure difference in the cavity of the plunger pump 63, so that the TIP head 66 completes the sampling action;

[0066] Step 1: The control system sends action signals to the X-axis drive motor 24, Y-axis drive motor 34, Z-axis drive motor 44 and plunger pump motor 62. The X-axis drive motor 24, Y-axis drive motor 34, Z-axis drive motor 44 and plunger pump motor 62 act to move the TIP head 66 to a specified position to aspirate liquid.

[0067] Step 2: The control system sends action signals to the X-axis drive motor 24, Y-axis drive motor 34, Z-axis drive motor 44 and plunger pump motor 62. The X-axis drive motor 24, Y-axis drive motor 34, Z-axis drive motor 44 and plunger pump motor 62 act to move the TIP head 66 to a specified position to drip liquid, completing the sampling process.

[0068] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: there are two side support bearings 54 provided on the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 55, and the two side support bearings 54 move in the X direction following the Y-axis linear slide 3. When the Y-axis linear slide 3 stops moving in the X direction, it can support the cantilever end, and at the same time can absorb the yaw amount of the cantilever end of the Y-axis linear slide 3, ensuring that the yaw amount of the cantilever end is greatly reduced, so that the sampling part 6 can perform sampling work quickly and stably, avoiding affecting the normal operation of the device; adjustment bolts 57 are provided at both ends of the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 55, and the levelness of the support bar 56 is adjusted by adjusting the height of the adjustment bolts 57 to ensure the smooth movement of the Y-axis linear slide 3 in the X-axis direction; a lower support bearing 53 is provided on the L-shaped mounting plate 51, and the rolling surface of the lower support bearing 53 generally does not contact the lower surface of the support bar 56, and there are multiple mounting points of the lower support bearing 53 on the L-shaped mounting plate 51 to prevent the support bar 56 from being deformed and jammed, affecting the normal operation of the device; by using one TIP head 66 for one sample and discarding it after use, cross-contamination between samples is avoided and experimental errors are increased; moreover, during the sampling process, under the action of the force when the sampling part 6 rises, the lower support bearing 53 at the lower end will contact the lower surface of the support bar 56, and at the same time react on the sampling part 6 below to ensure that the Z direction does not deform due to the cantilever during sampling, ensuring the rapid and stable progress of the sampling process.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present invention, the present invention also provides a fully automatic genital tract secretion detector, as Figure 1 shown, including the three-axis motion sampling mechanism of the present invention, which realizes the movement in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions and automatic sampling.
