[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0024] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the sampling needle structure of the automatic sampler of this embodiment includes a housing 100, a slider 110 slidably disposed in the housing 100, a sensor 120 disposed above the slider 110, and a sampling needle 130 connected to the slider 110, wherein the sensor 120 is signal-connected to the slider 110. The sampling needle 130 can be inserted into a sample bottle for sampling, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0025] 1. During the sampling process, the sampling needle 130 is aimed at the sample bottle, and the value of the sensor 120 is set to A. After finding the sampling point, the sampling needle 130 moves downward. If the value of the sensor 120 increases instantaneously and then immediately decreases to around A, it means that the sampling needle 130 has pierced through the rubber pad of the sample bottle and entered the sample bottle, and sampling can begin.

[0026] 2. During the sampling process, the sampling needle 130 is aimed at the sample bottle, and the value of the sensor 120 is set to A. After finding the sampling point, the sampling needle 130 moves downward. If the value of the sensor 120 increases instantaneously, then immediately decreases to around A, and then increases significantly, it means that the needle tip touches the bottom of the sample bottle, then an alarm will be triggered and the parameters will be reset.

[0027] 3. During the sampling process, the sampling needle 130 is aimed at the sample bottle, and the value of the sensor 120 is set to A. After finding the sampling point, the sampling needle 130 moves downward. If the value of the sensor 120 continues to increase, it means that the sampling needle 130 has pierced a hard object, an alarm starts, and the parameters are reset.

[0028] 4. During the sampling process, the sampling needle 130 is aimed at the sample bottle, and the value of the sensor 120 is set to A. After finding the sampling point, the sampling needle 130 moves downward. If the value of the sensor 120 remains unchanged at A, it means that the sampling needle 130 has not pierced the rubber pad of the sample bottle. The sample bottle may not be placed here, or the sample bottle may be in an open state and there is no sample bottle rubber pad.

[0029] In order to enable the sensor 120 to sense the force of the sampling needle 130, the sensor 120 is also connected to an adapter 140, and the adapter 140 includes a fixed end 141 and a connecting end 142 connected to the fixed end 141, wherein the fixed end 141 is fixedly connected to the sensor 120. The slider 110 is provided with a groove 111, and the connecting end 142 is sleeved with a spring 143, and the other end of the spring 143 extends into the groove 111 and abuts against the bottom of the groove 111. The adapter 140 ensures that the force of the slider 110 is transmitted to the sensor 120, that is, since the sampling needle 130 is installed on the slider 110, the force of the sampling needle 130 is transmitted to the sensor 120. The spring 143 ensures that when the sampling needle 130 is inserted into the sample bottle, the instantaneous force is prevented from being too large to damage the components.

[0030] A slide groove 150 is provided on the side wall of the housing 100, and a guide block 112 is fixedly connected to the slider 110. The guide block 112 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 150, and the length direction of the slide groove 150 is parallel to the sliding direction of the guide block 112. The guide block 112 slides in the slide groove 150, and the slide groove 150 cooperates with the spring 143 to limit the sliding stroke of the guide block 112, that is, to limit the sliding stroke of the slider 110 when the housing 100 does not move, so as to prevent excessive instantaneous force from damaging components.

[0031] A mounting groove 160 is provided on one side of the slider 110, and the mounting groove 160 is suitable for placing the sampling needle 130. A channel is provided in the slider 110, wherein the sampling needle 130 passes through the channel and extends to the outside of the housing 100. The sampling needle 130 passes through the housing 100 and reaches the bottom of the housing 100. Since a plurality of positioning holes 180 are provided on the upper part of the housing 100, so as to facilitate the transmission connection between the housing 100 and the driving mechanism, the positioning holes 180 are suitable for fixed connection with the connecting piece at the end of the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the housing 100 to move up and down, and the housing 100 drives the sampling needle 130 to move up and down.

[0032] In order to take out the liquid in the sample bottle, a connector 161 is further provided in the mounting groove 160, one end of the connector 161 is connected to the sampling needle 130, and the other end is suitable for conducting with the sampling tube. The sampling tube is aligned with the connector 161, and the liquid in the sample bottle is taken out by suction.

[0033] The sensor 120 is disposed on the housing 100 to facilitate wiring of the sensor 120 . A through hole 170 is also provided at one end of the housing 100 close to the sensor 120 to facilitate wiring of the sensor 120 .
