[0009] Preferably, a guiding groove is formed between the circuit board on the adjustment base and the pipette body, and the range adjustment button slides up and down along the guiding groove and the button guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the guide groove and the button guide groove are arc-shaped, and an arc-shaped limit plate is fixedly provided on the inner side of the range adjustment button to slide along the guide groove.

[0011] Preferably, a shaft sleeve is sleeved on the central shaft, the shaft sleeve rotates along the shaft, a torsion spring baffle is arranged inside the range adjustment button to abut against the shaft sleeve, and the rotation of the range adjustment button drives the shaft sleeve to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic reset member is a bidirectional torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft sleeve, with both ends of the bidirectional torsion spring clamped between the rotating shaft sleeve and the torsion spring baffle of the range adjustment button, and the ends of the bidirectional torsion spring are installed on two limit columns.

[0013] Preferably, the two limit columns are respectively provided with torsion spring slots, and the ends of the torsion spring are respectively correspondingly clamped in the torsion spring slots.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0020] Example: Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, a new type of range adjustment mechanism for an electric pipette includes a pipette main body 12. A button guide groove 121 is provided on the pipette main body. A central rotating shaft 161 is provided inside the pipette main body. A rotating shaft sleeve 111 is sleeved on the central rotating shaft. A range adjustment button 11 that moves along the button guide groove is provided in the button guide groove. A torsion spring retaining piece 112 is provided inside the range adjustment button and presses against the rotating shaft sleeve. The range adjustment button rotates around the central rotating shaft through the rotating shaft sleeve for adjustment.

[0021] An adjustment base 16 and a circuit board 13 are sleeved outside the rotating shaft sleeve. The adjustment base and the circuit board are fixed inside the pipette main body by screws. A magnet 14 is fixedly installed on the range adjustment button. Hall sensors 131 are respectively provided on the circuit board corresponding to the two extreme positions on both sides of the button guide groove when the range adjustment button is adjusted. Through the rotation of the range adjustment button, the magnetic flux sensed by the Hall sensor changes, and the changed magnetic flux is stepped and subdivided to correspond to the adjustment of different values of the units, tens, and hundreds of the range, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the pipette range.

[0022] Two limit posts are respectively provided on the adjustment base corresponding to the two extreme positions on both sides of the button guide groove when the range adjustment button is adjusted. Torsion spring clamping grooves 162 are respectively provided on the two limit posts. A bi-directional torsion spring 15 is sleeved on the rotating shaft sleeve. Both ends of the bi-directional torsion spring are clamped between the rotating shaft sleeve and the torsion spring retaining piece of the range adjustment button. The end of both ends of the bi-directional torsion spring is correspondingly stuck in the torsion spring clamping groove. When the finger rotates the range adjustment button, the torsion spring retaining piece presses against one leg of the torsion spring, and the torsion spring rotates and compresses. After letting go, the torsion spring resets, the torsion spring leg presses against the torsion spring retaining piece, driving the range adjustment button to rotate. When the torsion spring leg touches the torsion spring clamping groove, the torsion spring stops rotating, and the range adjustment button resets to complete.

[0023] When the present utility model is in use, turning the range adjustment button clockwise increases the pipette range; turning the range adjustment button counterclockwise decreases the pipette range. Through the rotation of the range adjustment button, the magnetic flux sensed by the Hall sensor changes, and the changed magnetic flux is stepped and subdivided to correspond to the adjustment of different values of the units, tens, and hundreds of the range, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the pipette range. After letting go, the torsion spring resets, and the range adjustment button resets.

[0024] The above-described embodiments are only a preferred solution of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. There are other variants and modifications without exceeding the technical solutions recorded in the claims.
