Detailed implementation mode

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] The present invention provides a technical solution: As Figures 1-4 shown, in this embodiment, a test tube clamp for a liquid nitrogen tank includes a fixed rod 1, a mounting bracket 6 and an anti-slip grip 9. A displacement rod 2 is slidably connected inside the fixed rod 1. One end of the displacement rod 2 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 3. A displacement groove 10 is opened inside the fixed plate 3. The mounting bracket 6 is slidably connected inside the displacement groove 10. A clamping plate 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 6. A clamping mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the fixed plate 3.

An anti-slip grip 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed rod 1. A rubber pad 5 is arranged on one side of the clamping plate 4.

[0022] First, pull the displacement rod 2 according to the depth of different liquid nitrogen tanks to extend the length of the device. After the displacement rod 2 moves to an appropriate length, the displacement rod 2 can be automatically fixed and limited through the limiting mechanism, avoiding the problem of detachment during use, thereby increasing the applicability of the device and further increasing the practicality of the device. Then, hold the anti-slip grip 9 and insert one end of the clamping plate 4 into the liquid nitrogen tank. Then, start the clamping mechanism to operate, so as to drive the mounting bracket 6 to slide inside the displacement groove 10 and drive the two clamping plates 4 to clamp the outside of the test tube at the same time. Then, the rubber pad 5 can increase the friction between the clamping plate 4 and the test tube, and also avoid the problem of the clamping plate 4 damaging the outside of the test tube. In this way, the test tube can be conveniently taken out from the liquid nitrogen tank, thereby further increasing the practicality of the device.

[0023] As Figures 1-4As shown, the clamping mechanism includes two first vertical plates 11, and the two first vertical plates 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 3. A bidirectional lead screw 12 is rotatably connected between the two first vertical plates 11. One side of one of the first vertical plates 11 is fixedly installed with a motor 15, and one end of the output shaft of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 12. The clamping mechanism further includes a displacement block 13, and the displacement block 13 is threadedly connected to the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 12. The top of the displacement block 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 6. Two second vertical plates 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 3, and a slide bar 14 is fixedly connected between the two second vertical plates 16. The inside of the displacement block 13 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide bar 14.

[0024] When clamping the test tube, by starting the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 15 to drive the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 12 and at the same time drive the displacement block 13 to slide on the outside of the slide bar 14. The slide bar 14 can guide the movement of the displacement block 13. Then the displacement block 13 moves to drive the mounting bracket 6 to slide inside the displacement groove 10 and at the same time drive the clamping plate 4 to approach the outside of the test tube, so as to clamp and fix the outside of the test tube, thereby increasing the practicability of the device.

[0025] As Figures 1-4 shown, the limiting mechanism includes a slider 19. The slider 19 is slidably connected inside the fixed bracket 8. A clamping block 20 is slidably connected inside the fixed rod 1. One end of the clamping block 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 19. A spring 17 is fixedly connected between the top of the slider 19 and the inside of the fixed bracket 8. The top of the displacement rod 2 is equidistantly provided with clamping grooves 7. One end of the clamping block 20 extends into the inside of the clamping grooves 7. The limiting mechanism further includes a limiting groove 18. The limiting groove 18 is opened on the outside of the fixed bracket 8. A limiting rod 21 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 18. One end of the limiting rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 19. One end of the clamping block 20 is provided with an inclined surface.

[0026] When extending the length of the displacement rod 2, by pulling the displacement rod 2 to drive the inner wall of the clamping groove 7 to abut against the inclined surface of the clamping block 20. Thus, the clamping block 20 moves to drive the slider 19 to move and at the same time compress the spring 17. Then when the displacement rod 2 moves to an appropriate length, by the reaction force of the spring 17 to drive the slider 19 to move and at the same time drive the clamping block 20 to enter the inside of the clamping groove 7 to complete automatic fixation. Then when shortening the length of the displacement rod 2, by moving the limiting rod 21 to drive the slider 19 to move and at the same time drive the clamping block 20 to disengage from the inside of the clamping groove 7. At this time, the displacement rod 2 can be retracted into the inside of the fixed rod 1, thereby increasing the convenience of the device.

[0027] The utility model provides a test tube clamp for a liquid nitrogen tank, and the specific working principle is as follows: first, according to the depth of different liquid nitrogen tanks, the displacement rod 2 is pulled to drive the inner wall of the card slot 7 to contact the inclined surface of the card block 20, so that the card block 20 moves and drives the slider 19 to move and compress the spring 17 at the same time, and then when the displacement rod 2 moves to a suitable length, the reaction force of the spring 17 drives the slider 19 to move and drives the card block 20 to enter the interior of the card slot 7 to complete automatic fixation, and then when the length of the displacement rod 2 is shortened, the fluctuation limit rod 21 drives the slider 19 to move and drives the card block 20 at the same time After disengaging from the interior of the card slot 7, the displacement rod 2 can be retracted into the interior of the fixed rod 1, thereby increasing the convenience of the device. Next, when clamping the test tube, the output shaft of the starting motor 15 drives the bidirectional screw rod 12 to rotate and drives the displacement block 13 to slide on the outside of the slide rod 14. The slide rod 14 can guide the movement of the displacement block 13, and then the movement of the displacement block 13 drives the mounting frame 6 to slide inside the displacement slot 10 and drives the clamping plate 4 to approach the outside of the test tube, thereby clamping and fixing the outside of the test tube, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.
