[0030] As described in the background art, the test tube rack in the above patent protects the test tubes by covering the surfaces of the test tubes with a cover plate. However, since there are many types of test tubes, it is difficult for shorter test tubes to come into contact with the cover plate when covering different test tubes, resulting in the test tubes shaking up and down, thus affecting the stability of the device.

[0031] To solve this technical problem, the present utility model provides a test tube rack, which is applied to food inspection and testing.

[0032] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , the test tube rack specifically includes:

[0033] A base 1, a partition 2, a covering mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4, and a first test tube groove 5. A partition 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper part of the base 1. A covering mechanism 3 for covering test tubes of different heights is arranged outside the partition 2. A clamping mechanism 4 for fixing test tubes of different sizes is arranged on the surface of the base 1. A plurality of first test tube grooves 5 are vertically opened on the surface of the partition 2;

[0034] The covering mechanism 3 includes a fixing frame 6, a top plate 7, a connecting head 8, a rotating head 9, a positioning component, and a lifting component. Fixing frames 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the partition 2 above the base 1. A top plate 7 is arranged above the fixing frames 6. A connecting head 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the top plate 7. A rotating head 9 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing frame 6 at a position corresponding to the connecting head 8, and the rotating head 9 is snap-connected to the connecting head 8.

[0035] For the test tube rack provided by the present utility model, through the structural design of the covering mechanism 3, when in use, the test tubes to be fixed can be placed inside the first test tube grooves 5. When the top plate 7 covers the tops of the test tubes, the movable seat 10 below the test tubes will push the test tubes upward, thus ensuring that the tops of the test tubes are always in contact with the top plate 7, and further preventing the test tubes from shaking up and down, effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Embodiment 1:

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , a test tube rack, which includes: a base 1, a partition 2, a covering mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4, and a first test tube groove 5. A partition 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper part of the base 1. A covering mechanism 3 for covering test tubes of different heights is arranged outside the partition 2. A clamping mechanism 4 for fixing test tubes of different sizes is arranged on the surface of the base 1. A plurality of first test tube grooves 5 are vertically opened on the surface of the partition 2;

[0039] Specifically, the covering mechanism 3 includes a fixing frame 6, a top plate 7, a connecting head 8, a rotating head 9, a positioning component and a jacking component. Above the base 1 and at both ends of the partition 2, there are fixing frames 6 fixedly connected. Above the fixing frame 6, there is a top plate 7. On the outside of the top plate 7, there is a connecting head 8 fixedly connected. On the outside of the fixing frame 6 and at a position corresponding to the connecting head 8, there is a rotating head 9 rotatably connected. The rotating head 9 is snap-connected to the connecting head 8.

[0040] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a pressing plate 16, a threaded rod 17 and a first knob 18. Inside the rotating head 9, there is a pressing plate 16 slidably connected.

In the middle of the rotating head 9, there is a threaded rod 17 rotatably connected. The pressing plate 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 17. On the outside of the rotating head 9, there is a first knob 18 rotatably connected. The first knob 18 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 17.

[0041] It can be seen that during use, the first knob 18 can be rotated to drive the threaded rod 17 to rotate and separate the pressing plate 16 from the connecting head 8, thereby releasing the position limit of the connecting head 8 and the rotating head 9. Then, by flipping the rotating head 9 outwards, the top plate 7 can be removed.

[0042] Furthermore, the jacking component includes a movable seat 10, a spring 11, a first chute 12 and a sliding rod 13. On the outside of the partition 2 and at a position corresponding to the first test tube slot 5, there is a movable seat 10. On the outside of the movable seat 10, there is a sliding rod 13 fixedly connected. On the surface of the partition 2 and at a position corresponding to the sliding rod 13, there is a first chute 12 opened. The sliding rod 13 is slidably connected to the first chute 12. Below the movable seat 10, there is a spring 11. The upper and lower ends of the spring 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the movable seat 10 and the base 1.

[0043] It can be seen that during use, first remove the top plate 7, and place the test tube into the device along the direction of the first test tube slot 5 and make contact with the movable seat 10. At this time, reinstall the top plate 7 through the positioning component. At this time, the test tube will move upwards along the first chute 12 under the elastic push of the spring 11 below the movable seat 10, and then make contact with the top plate 7, ensuring that the top of the test tube is always in contact with the top plate 7, thereby preventing the test tube from shaking up and down and effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] Further optimize the test tube rack provided in Embodiment 1. Specifically, as Figures 3 - 8As shown in the figure, further, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a sliding bar 14, a second chute 15, a second test tube slot 19, a guiding component and a driving component. Sliding bars 14 are horizontally arranged on both sides of the partition plate 2. Second chutes 15 are provided on the surface of the fixing frame 6 at positions corresponding to the sliding bars 14. The ends of the sliding bars 14 are slidably connected to the fixing frame 6 through the second chutes 15. Second test tube slots 19 are provided at positions corresponding to the first test tube slot 5 on the surface of the sliding bars 14.

[0046] Further, the guiding component includes a third chute 20, a connecting rod 21 and a traction rod 28. A connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected below the end of the sliding bar 14. The connecting rod 21 extends downward into the interior of the base 1. A third chute 20 is provided on the surface of the base 1 at a position corresponding to the connecting rod 21. The connecting rod 21 is slidably connected to the base 1 through the third chute 20. One end of the connecting rod 21 extending into the interior of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a traction rod 28.

[0047] Further, the driving component includes a rotating shaft 22, a second knob 23, a worm 24, a worm gear 25, a swing rod 26, a guiding groove 27 and a convex column 29. A rotating shaft 22 is horizontally rotatably connected inside the base 1. A second knob 23 is rotatably connected to the outside of the base 1 at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft 22. The second knob 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 22. A worm 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 22. Worm gears 25 are arranged on both sides of the worm 24. The worm gears 25 are rotatably connected to the base 1. A swing rod 26 is fixedly connected to the outside of the worm gears 25. A guiding groove 27 is provided on the surface of the swing rod 26. A convex column 29 is slidably connected to the inside of the guiding groove 27. The convex column 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the traction rod 28 away from the connecting rod 21.

[0048] It can be known that after the test tube is placed inside the first test tube slot 5, the second knob 23 can be rotated to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and then the worm 24 rotates synchronously, causing the swing rod 26 fixed thereto to rotate. While the swing rod 26 rotates, it drives the convex column 29 inside the guiding groove 27 to pull the traction rod 28 and the connecting rod 21 through the cooperation of the guiding groove 27. Thus, the guiding groove 27 together with the sliding bar 14 fixed thereto moves along the directions of the second chute 15 and the third chute 20, so that the second test tube slot 19 on the surface of the sliding bar 14 contacts the test tube inside the first test tube slot 5 and clamps and fixes it, effectively improving the practicability and working efficiency of the device.
