The first clamping portion 3141 moves towards the clamping groove body to clamp the reagent bottle; the second clamping portion 3116 moves towards the receiving groove 3111 to clamp the sampling container 321;

[0041] The jaw can tighten or loosen the cap of the reagent bottle on the processing table 314, and the jaw can also tighten or loosen the cap of the sampling container 321 on the container support 311.

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention drives the container support 311 to move towards the processing table 314 by adopting the container moving mechanism 312, and realizes the clamping of the reagent bottle in the clamping groove body and the clamping of the sampling container 321 in the receiving groove 3111 by making the first clamping portion 3141 and the second clamping portion 3116 abut against each other. The clamped reagent bottle and sampling container 321 can realize the tightening or loosening of the caps of the reagent bottle and sampling container 321 through the rotatable jaw in the manipulator. Furthermore, the automation of the entire device is realized, and the detection efficiency is greatly improved.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first sliding groove 3144 and the second sliding groove 3117 are parallel. In this way, when the first clamping portion 3141 and the second clamping portion 3116 abut against each other, the first clamping portion 3141 and the second clamping portion 3116 will respectively abut against the inside of the clamping groove body and the receiving groove 3111 in opposite directions.

[0044] In one embodiment, the clamping groove body includes a first accommodation groove 3143 and a second accommodation groove 3148. The processing table 314 is further provided with a third sliding groove 3145 and a third clamping portion 3142. The first sliding groove 3144 communicates with the first accommodation groove 3143, and the third sliding groove 3145 communicates with the second accommodation groove 3148. The first sliding groove 3144 and the second sliding groove 3117 extend in the same direction. The container moving mechanism 312 can drive the container bracket 311 to abut against the processing table 314, and the second clamping portion 3116 simultaneously abuts against the first clamping portion 3141 and the third clamping portion 3142, so that the first clamping portion 3141 abuts against the first accommodation groove 3143 along the first sliding groove 3144, and the third clamping portion 3142 extends along the second sliding groove 3117 to the second accommodation groove 3148. It should be noted that by providing the first accommodation groove 3143 and the second accommodation groove 3148, two reagent bottles can be accommodated simultaneously, and the opening treatment of the two reagent bottles can be continuously performed, improving the overall processing efficiency.

The arrangement of the guiding groove and the guiding post is beneficial to the movement of the second clamping portion 3116 along the extension direction of the guiding groove, and the elastic member can enable the second clamping portion 3116 to automatically reset, so that the sampling container 321 can be taken out.

[0047] In order to facilitate the temporary storage of the cover body, the processing table 314 is further provided with a cover body storage groove 3146 and a cover body storage convex portion 3147. The cover body storage groove is recessed downward in the height direction, and the cover body storage convex portion 3147 extends upward in the height direction. It should be noted that the cover body of the sampling container 321 is larger, while the cover body of the reagent bottle is smaller. The cover body storage groove 3146 is used to store the cover body of the sampling container 321, and the cover body storage convex portion 3147 is used to store the cover body of the reagent bottle.

[0050] However, the present design is not limited thereto. A fifth detection hole 3112 is further formed on the side wall of the container support 311. The fifth detection hole 3112 communicates with the accommodation groove 3111. The sampling container pretreatment device includes a fifth sensor, and the fifth sensor is disposed facing the fifth detection hole 3112; when the fifth sensor senses that the sampling container 321 is accommodated in the container support 311, the container moving mechanism 312 can drive the container support 311 to abut against the processing table 314 so that the first clamping portion 3141 abuts against the second clamping portion 3116.

[0051] Further, the container moving mechanism 312 includes a lead screw mechanism extending in the transverse direction. However, the present design is not limited thereto.
