[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The utility model provides an embodiment: an immunoassay microplate sample loading auxiliary device, including a sample storage box 1, in which samples can be stored, a cover plate 2 is arranged on the top of the sample storage box 1, and the cover plate 2 can be used for protection, and a microplate body 34 is arranged on the inner wall of the sample storage box 1, and the microplate body 34 can be used to carry samples or reagents, and a dispersion component is arranged on the inner wall of the sample storage box 1, and the dispersion component includes a guide frame 32, and the guide frame 32 can drive the guide rod 39 and the microplate body 34 to move, and a slide groove 2 38 is opened on the left side of the guide frame 32, and the slider 37 slides in the slide groove 2 38 to support the microplate body 34 to prevent the microplate body 34 from rotating.

[0034] Furthermore, a slide groove 1 33 is provided on the left side of the guide frame 32 near the bottom of the slide groove 2 38. The movement of the guide frame 32 can drive the movement of the slide groove 1 33, thereby driving the guide rod 39 and the microwell plate body 34 to move. A limiting groove 310 is provided on the front surface of the guide frame 32. The limiting rod 31 slides into the limiting groove 310 to limit the guide frame 32. The guide frame 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sample storage box 1, and the guide frame 32 is supported by the sample storage box 1. The top of the guide frame 32 is fixedly connected with a pull rod 3, and the guide frame 32 is driven to move by the pull rod 3. The inner wall of the slide groove 1 33 is slidably connected with a guide rod 39, and the guide rod 39 can drive the microwell plate body 34 to move.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 A support assembly is provided at the bottom end of the cover plate 2, and the support assembly includes a positioning frame 21, the positioning frame 21 supports a spring 23 and a pressing plate 22, and the positioning frame 21 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the bottom end of the cover plate 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The front surface of the sample storage box 1 passes through and is slidably connected to a limit rod 31, and a guide rod 39 is fixedly connected to the right side of the microplate body 34. The microplate body 34 can be driven to move by the guide rod 39. A guide groove 35 is provided on the right inner wall of the sample storage box 1. The guide groove 35 is provided with a plurality of groups corresponding to the number of the microplate bodies 34. At the same time, the plurality of groups of guide grooves 35 are arranged in an inclined state of spreading outward, so that the guide rod 39 can slide in the guide groove 35 to make the plurality of groups of microplate bodies 34 spread outward, thereby increasing the distance between the plurality of groups of microplate bodies 34, which is convenient for sample addition operation, and the guide rod 39 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 35.

[0037] Furthermore, the limiting rod 31 is elastically connected to the sample storage box 1 via a spring 2 36. The limiting rod 31 slides on the inner wall of the limiting groove 310, and can drive the limiting groove 310 to move when the guide frame 32 is moved upward. When the microplate body 34 is moved to the top, the guide frame 32 squeezes the inclined surface of the limiting rod 31, causing the limiting rod 31 to move inward and outward to stretch the spring 2 36. The reverse force of the stretched spring 2 36 can make the limiting rod 31 slide into the limiting groove 310, thereby limiting the guide frame 32. At this time, the microplate body 34 can be limited, which is convenient for sample loading.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The bottom end of the inner wall of the positioning frame 21 is slidably connected with a pressing plate 22, and the pressing plate 22 and the positioning frame 21 are elastically connected by a spring 23. The microporous plate body 34 is supported and limited by the pressing plate 22, and at the same time, with the elastic performance of the spring 23, the pressing plate 22 can always limit the microporous plate body 34 and play a buffering role, thereby protecting the microporous plate body 34.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 5 A slider 37 is fixedly connected to the right side of the microplate body 34 near the top of the guide rod 39. The microplate body 34, the guide rod 39, and the slider 37 are provided in multiple groups. The multiple groups of microplate bodies 34, the guide rod 39, and the slider 37 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the sample storage box 1 as the axis of symmetry. Multiple groups are set to correspond to multiple groups of microplate bodies 34, so that the multiple groups of microplate bodies 34 can be moved, which is convenient for sample addition. The slider 37 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 38. The sliding of the slider 37 on the inner wall of the second slide groove 38 can increase the stability of the microplate body 34 and prevent the possibility of rotation when it is moved only by the guide rod 39, thereby increasing stability. There are two groups of guide frames 32. The two groups of guide frames 32 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the sample storage box 1 as the axis of symmetry. The two groups of guide frames 32 increase the stability of movement.

[0040] Working principle: when in use, by opening the fixed plate-cover plate 2, the shift block positioning frame 21, the limit block spring 23, and the positioning block-pressing plate 22 are driven to rotate, and the limit of the microporous plate body 34 is released. At this time, the fixed plate second pull rod 3 can be moved upward to drive the guide frame 32 to move upward, and the guide frame 32 moves upward to drive the guide rod 39 and the slider 37 to move upward, and the guide rod 39 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 33 and the inner wall of the guide groove 35. At the same time, the guide groove 35 is set to an inclined shape, so that the guide rod 39 can move upward and move outward along the inclined guide groove 35 at the same time, and the microporous plate body 34 can be moved upward and outward at the same time by the guide rod 39 moving upward and outward at the same time, so that multiple groups of microporous plate bodies 34 and multiple groups of guide grooves 35 can make multiple groups of microporous plate bodies 34 move upward and disperse from each other at the same time, thereby increasing the distance between multiple groups of microporous plate bodies 34.

[0041] Furthermore, the guide frame 32 moves to contact the inclined surface of the limit rod 31 and squeezes the limit rod 31, so that the limit rod 31 moves outward to stretch the second spring 36. The reverse force of the stretched second spring 36 can drive the limit rod 31 to reset and slide into the limit groove 310 to limit the guide frame 32. At this time, the distance between the microplate bodies 34 can be increased, which can make sample addition more convenient, reduce sample contamination during sample addition, and improve sample addition efficiency. At the same time, the slider 37 sliding in the second slide groove 38 can increase the stability of the microplate body 34.

[0042] When the sample addition is completed, pull the limit rod 31 to slide out of the limit groove 310 to release the limit of the guide frame 32. At this time, move the fixed plate and the second pull rod 3 downward to drive the guide frame 32 to move downward so that multiple groups of microplate bodies 34 are reset and stored in the bracket sample storage box 1. At this time, the fixed plate and the cover plate 2 can be rotated to drive the shift block positioning frame 21, the limit block spring 23, and the positioning block and the pressing plate 22 to rotate. When the positioning block and the pressing plate 22 are rotated to contact the microplate body 34, the microplate body 34 can be supported and limited by the positioning block and the pressing plate 22 and the limit block spring 23, thereby improving the stability of the microplate body 34 and the safety of the microplate body 34 when the bracket sample storage box 1 is moved.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
