Then rotate the screw rod so that the screw rod moves downward on the surfaces of the upper cover and the lower cover, making the bottom of the screw rod abut against the opposite end of the pressing rod and pressing the pressing rod, causing the pressing rod to move to one side in the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and making one end of the pressing rod extend to clamp the surface of the test tube in the inner cavity of the placement groove opened on the surface of the lower cover.

Then inject the stain into the test tube, and then reset the hydraulic telescopic rod through the console to make the injection head extend out of the inner cavity of the test tube, and then cover the lids on the top of the test tube in sequence;

[0019] S3. Rotation. Finally, first start the servo motor on the surface of the sleeve plate through the console, so that the output end of the servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate in the inner cavities of the first bearing and the second bearing. Then drive the clamping mechanism to rotate through the mounting plate. While rotating, start the cylinder in the inner cavity of the rotating assembly to expand and contract, so that the extending end of the cylinder is rotationally sleeved by the rotating assembly to push the second bearing to tilt to one side. At the same time, under the rotation of the pin and the sleeve plate, the rotating rod drives the clamping mechanism to tilt to 15 - 35 °C. Through the tilting and resetting operations of the clamping mechanism, the flow direction of the liquid in the test tube can be changed when the test tube rotates, and the staining of biological cells can be accelerated.

[0022] 1. For this biological cell staining device and its usage method, by starting the servo motor on the surface of the sleeve plate, the output end of the servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate in the inner cavities of the first bearing and the second bearing. Then drive the clamping mechanism to rotate through the mounting plate. While rotating, start the cylinder in the inner cavity of the rotating assembly to expand and contract, so that the extending end of the cylinder is rotationally sleeved by the rotating assembly to push the second bearing to tilt to one side. At the same time, under the rotation of the pin and the sleeve plate, the rotating rod drives the clamping mechanism to tilt to 15 - 35 °C. Through the tilting and resetting operations of the clamping mechanism, the flow direction of the liquid in the test tube can be changed when the test tube rotates, and the staining of biological cells can be accelerated.

[0023] 2. For this biological cell staining device and its usage method, by placing the test tubes containing biological cells in the inner cavity of the placement groove in sequence, and then rotating the lead screw, the lead screw moves downward on the surfaces of the upper cover and the lower cover, so that the bottom of the lead screw abuts against the opposite ends of the extrusion rods and extrudes the extrusion rods, causing the extrusion rods to move to one side in the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and one end of the extrusion rod extends out to clamp the surface of the test tube in the placement groove on the surface of the lower cover, completing simultaneous collective clamping and reducing the time for clamping one by one.

[0024] 3. The biological cell staining device and its usage method start the hydraulic telescopic rod through the console, causing the hydraulic telescopic rod to lift and lower. Thereby, the rotating disk is driven to descend through the connecting plate, enabling multiple injection heads sleeved on the surface of the rotating disk to insert into the inner cavity of the clamped test tube. Then, the staining agent is injected into the test tube. Subsequently, the hydraulic telescopic rod is reset through the console, causing the injection heads to extend from the inner cavity of the test tube.

[0038] S3. Rotation: Finally, first start the servo motor 87 on the surface of the sleeve plate 88 through the control console 7, causing the output end of the servo motor 87 to drive the rotating rod 82 to rotate in the inner cavities of the first bearing 83 and the second bearing 84. Then, drive the clamping mechanism 9 to rotate through the mounting disk 85.
