[0027] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a circulation device of an immunoassay analyzer, which includes a circulation base 1, a runway-shaped track 2, a circulation installation fixture 3, a flexible transmission device 4 and a circulation positioning mechanism; the runway-shaped track 2 is installed on the circulation base 1, and the runway-shaped track 2 has two opposite straight segments 21 and two opposite arc segments 22, and the two ends of the two arc segments 22 are respectively connected by two straight segments 21; the number of the circulation installation fixtures 3 is at least two, and each circulation installation fixture 3 is slidably connected with the runway-shaped track 2; the flexible transmission device 4 is connected to each circulation installation fixture 3 and drives the circulation installation fixture 3 to move along the runway-shaped track 2; the circulation positioning mechanism is movably positioned and coordinated with each circulation installation fixture 3.

[0029] Each of the circulation installation jigs 3 of the present invention moves on the runway-shaped track 2, and the space occupied by the runway-shaped track 2 is smaller than that of the circular turntable, so that the circulation device of the immunoassay analyzer of the present invention has the advantage of occupying less space. In addition, the present invention also has a circulation positioning mechanism that cooperates with the movable positioning of each of the circulation installation jigs 3, so that the circulation installation jig 3 can be positioned at the required workstation through the circulation positioning mechanism, avoiding the flow installation jig 3 being unable to accurately move to the required workstation due to the speed difference between the flow installation jig 3 on the straight section 21 and the arc section 22 of the runway-shaped track 2.

[0030] Cooperate Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the flexible transmission device 4 adopts a synchronous belt transmission device. It should be noted that the flexible transmission device 4 can also adopt a chain transmission device, and both the chain transmission device and the synchronous belt transmission device can drive the flow installation fixture 3 to move along the runway track 2.

[0031] In an embodiment of the utility model, the circulation installation jig 3 is provided with an inner guide wheel 31 and an outer guide wheel 32 respectively slidingly connected with the inner and outer sides of the runway-type track 2, so that the circulation installation jig 3 moves more smoothly. Wherein, the circulation installation jig 3 may include a jig body 301 and a jig slide 302 slidingly connected with the jig body 301, a telescopic spring 303 is provided between the jig slide 302 and the jig body 301, the jig body 301 and the jig slide 302 are respectively connected with the inner guide wheel 31 and the outer guide wheel 32, and the elastic force of the telescopic spring 303 can drive the inner guide wheel 31 and the outer guide wheel 32 to always hold the inner and outer sides of the runway-type track 2 respectively, so that the movement of the circulation installation jig 3 is always kept stable. The inner guide wheel 31 and the outer guide wheel 32 may both have annular guide grooves that match the side walls of the runway-type track 2, thereby preventing the inner guide wheel 31 and the outer guide wheel 32 from escaping from the runway-type track 2, thereby allowing the flow installation fixture 3 to be more stably matched with the runway-type track 2.

[0032] In an embodiment of the utility model, the circulation installation fixture 3 is provided with a reaction cup installation hole 33, and the reaction cup installation hole 33 can be set on the fixture body 301 of the circulation installation fixture 3. The reaction cup installation hole 33 is used for inserting the reaction cup. The reaction cup installation hole 33 is located on the outside of the runway-type track 2, so as to avoid interference between the device for operating the reaction cup and the runway-type track 2.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, the circulation installation jig 3 is provided with a jig positioning part 34, which can be arranged on the jig body 301 of the circulation installation jig 3, and the jig positioning part 34 has a positioning slot 341; and the circulation positioning mechanism includes at least two circulation positioning devices 5, the circulation positioning device 5 includes a positioning shaft 51, a positioning drive motor 52 driving the positioning shaft 51 to rotate, and at least one positioning rod 53 arranged on the positioning shaft 51 and intersecting with the positioning shaft 51, and the positioning rod 53 is movably inserted into the positioning slot 341 of the jig positioning part 34 of the circulation installation jig 3.

[0034] In an embodiment of the utility model, the positioning slot 341 of the jig positioning portion 34 of the circulation installation jig 3 is arranged perpendicular to the runway-type track 2, so that when the positioning rod 53 of the circulation positioning device 5 is inserted into the positioning slot 341 of the circulation installation jig 3, the deflection of the circulation installation jig 3 can be reduced, which helps to protect the matching stability between the circulation installation jig 3 and the runway-type track 2. Correspondingly, the positioning shaft 51 and the positioning rod 53 of the circulation positioning device 5 are arranged perpendicular to each other, so that the rotation of the positioning shaft 51 can control the positioning rod 53 to enter and exit the positioning slot 341. The jig positioning portion 34 of the circulation installation jig 3 also has two inclined guide surfaces 342 respectively connected to the two sides of the positioning slot 341. The setting of the inclined guide surface 342 can play a role in avoiding and guiding the positioning rod 53, which is conducive to the accurate insertion of the positioning rod 53 into the positioning slot 341.
