[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a detection device, which includes a clamping device 100, a detection table 200, a test tube rack 300 and a manipulator 400. The test tube rack 300 for holding test tubes can be placed on the detection table 200, the manipulator 400 is installed on the detection table 200, and the manipulator 400 can move in a three-dimensional space. The clamping device 100 is installed on the manipulator 400, and the clamping device 100 is used to clamp the test tube rack 300. The test tube rack 300 includes a rack body 301 and a flange 302. The rack body 301 holds the test tube, and the flange 302 is convexly arranged on the rack body 301. The manipulator 400 drives the clamping device 100 to move in a three-dimensional space to transfer the test tube rack 300 to a specified position. The clamping device 100 can clamp the rack body 301 and the flange 302 of the test tube rack 300 at the same time, thereby increasing the clamping area, making the clamping more stable, reducing the risk of the test tube rack 300 falling and breaking, and ensuring the smooth progress of the test.

[0041] Among them, Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the clamping device 100 includes an electric clamping jaw 1, a clamping member 2 and an adjustment assembly 3. The electric clamping jaw 1 has two clamping blocks 11 that can move relative to or away from each other. A clamping member 2 is installed on each clamping block 11. An adjustment assembly 3 is provided on each clamping member 2. The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment block 31 and an elastic member 32. The adjustment block 31 is pivotally connected to the clamping member 2. One end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the clamping member 2, and the other end is connected to the adjustment block 31. The inclination angle of the adjustment block 31 and the clamping member 2 is adjusted by the elastic member 32 so that the adjustment block 31 is clamped on the rack body 301 and the flange 302 of the test tube rack 300 respectively. Since the flange 302 is protruding from the rack body 301, a step is formed between the flange 302 and the rack body 301. When the adjustment block 31 is clamped on the rack body 301, the step will squeeze the lower part of the adjustment block 31, compressing the elastic member 32 and causing the adjustment block 31 to slightly tilt on the clamping member 2 to adjust the inclination angle of the adjustment block 31 and the clamping member 2, so that the adjustment block 31 is clamped on the side of the rack body 301 and the side of the flange 302 at the same time, thereby increasing the clamping area, making the clamping more stable, reducing the risk of the test tube rack 300 falling and breaking, and ensuring the smooth progress of the detection.

[0042] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment block 31 includes an integrally formed pivot portion 311 and an adjusting portion 312 . The pivot portion 311 is pivotally connected to the clamping member 2 , and the other end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the adjusting portion 312 .

[0043] Furthermore, the pivoting portion 311 is protruded from the adjusting portion 312 to form an activity space 313 , and the elastic member 32 is disposed in the activity space 313 to adapt to the step formed between the frame body 301 and the flange 302 .

[0044] Furthermore, the clamping member 2 includes a clamping body 21 , the pivoting portion 311 is pivotally connected to the clamping body 21 , and one end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the clamping body 21 .

[0045] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 3 also includes a pivotal member 33, and the pivotal portion 311 is pivotally connected to the clamping body 21 through the pivotal member 33. The setting of the pivotal member 33 facilitates the fine adjustment of the angle of the adjustment block 31 around the pivotal member 33, so that the adjustment block 31 is clamped on the side of the rack body 301 and the side of the flange 302 at the same time, increasing the clamping area, making the clamping more stable, reducing the risk of the test tube rack 300 falling and breaking, and ensuring the smooth progress of the test.

[0046] Furthermore, a first pivot hole 314 is defined on the pivot portion 311 , a second pivot hole 211 is defined on the clamping body 21 , and the pivot member 33 passes through the first pivot hole 314 and is pivotally connected to the second pivot hole 211 .

[0047] Furthermore, the electric clamp 1 further comprises a clamp seat 12 , and the two clamp blocks 11 are arranged on the clamp seat 12 so as to be able to move relative to or away from each other.

[0048] It should be noted that the electric clamp 1 can be directly purchased from the market and is a prior art. Therefore, the power source for the two clamping blocks 11 to move relative to or away from each other will not be described in detail.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping device 100 further includes an elastic pad 4, and the elastic pad 4 is provided on the side of the adjustment block 31 facing the test tube rack 300, and the elastic pad 4 can be respectively pressed against the rack body 301 and the flange 302 of the test tube rack 300. The provision of the elastic pad 4 can prevent the adjustment block 31 from rigidly contacting the test tube rack 300, play a certain protective role on the test tube rack 300, and prevent the test tube rack 300 from being clamped and damaged.

[0050] Specifically, an elastic pad 4 is provided on one side of the adjusting portion 312 facing the test tube rack 300 .

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping member 2 further includes a gasket 23 , and the gasket 23 is arranged between the clamping body 21 and the adjustment block 31 .

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamping member 2 further includes a mounting tube 22 , which is mounted on the side of the clamping body 21 facing the test tube rack 300 , and one end of the elastic member 32 is mounted in the mounting tube 22 .

[0053] In order to prevent the installation tube 22 from interfering with the compression and extension of the elastic member 32 , the length of the installation tube 22 should not be too long, as long as one end of the elastic member 32 can be easily installed in the installation tube 22 .

[0054] In other embodiments, in order to prevent the installation tube 22 from interfering with the compression and extension of the elastic member 32 , the installation tube 22 may also be telescopically disposed on the clamping body 21 .

[0055] Although the utility model has been described in detail above by means of general description, specific implementation methods and tests, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the utility model. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
