DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Embodiment 1

[0020] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a test tube fixing mechanism proposed by the utility model includes a test tube seat 3, a test tube slot 301 and a stabilizing component; two groups of handles 202 are symmetrically arranged on the test tube seat 3; multiple groups of test tube slots 301 are arranged, and the multiple groups of test tube slots 301 are evenly distributed inside the test tube seat 3, and an installation cavity 303 is arranged on one side of the test tube slot 301 and located on the test tube seat 3; the stabilizing component is composed of a receiving unit and an abutting unit, the receiving unit is arranged at the bottom end of the test tube slot 301, and is used to abut with the bottom end of the test tube, and the abutting unit is installed in the installation cavity 303, and is used to detachably connect the top end of the test tube with the receiving unit.

[0021] Furthermore, the receiving unit includes a second spring 403 and a base 4; the second spring 403 is installed at the bottom end of the test tube slot 301; the base 4 is installed at the top of the second spring 403, and the base 4 slides and adjusts along the height direction of the test tube holder 3. A groove 401 is opened at the top of the base 4, and a buffer pad is arranged inside the groove 401.

[0022] Furthermore, multiple groups of sliders 402 are evenly arranged on the side walls of the base 4, and multiple groups of guide grooves 302 are evenly arranged on the side walls of the test tube slot 301 and on the test tube holder 3. The other end of the slider 402 is slidably connected to the corresponding guide groove 302 to prevent the base 4 from tilting inside the test tube slot 301 and jamming test tubes of different diameters, so that the base 4 can always slide and adjust along the height direction of the test tube slot 301.

[0023] Further, the abutting unit includes a screw rod 5, an adjusting tube 501 and an abutting cover 503; the screw rod 5 is installed at the inner bottom end of the installation cavity 303; the adjusting tube 501 is slidably connected to the installation cavity 303 and is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw rod 5; one end of the abutting cover 503 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the adjusting tube 501, and a rubber pad is arranged at the bottom of the other end. The rubber pad and the buffer pad on the groove 401 are both provided to reduce the vibration force received by the test tube and prevent the test tube from being clamped by the abutting cover 503 and the base 4, so as to extend the service life; an installation hole 504 is provided at one end of the abutting cover 503 away from the rubber pad, an annular seat is arranged on the inner wall of the installation hole 504, an annular groove 502 is provided on the outer wall of the adjusting tube 501, the abutting cover 503 is sleeved outside the adjusting tube 501 through the installation hole 504, and the annular seat is rotatably connected to the annular groove 502.

[0024] In this embodiment, the test tube with a test tube stopper is inserted along the test tube groove 301 until the bottom end of the test tube contacts the rubber pad on the groove 401. Then, the test tube is pressed down to an appropriate height. At this time, the second spring 403 is compressed. At the same time, the abutting cover 503 is rotated along the adjusting tube 501 until the rubber pad at the bottom end of the abutting cover 503 rotates directly above the test tube stopper. The test tube is released, and under the action of the elastic recovery of the second spring 403, the top end of the test tube is driven to abut against the rubber pad at the bottom end of the abutting cover 503. Thus, the test tube is clamped between the abutting cover 503 and the base 4. To improve the installation stability of the test tube, hold the abutting cover 503 and rotate the adjusting tube 501 so that the abutting cover 503 does not rotate with the adjusting tube 501. When the adjusting tube 501 rotates, it moves downward along the inner wall of the installation cavity 303. At the same time, the adjusting tube 501 moves downward along the screw rod 5 in a threaded manner, further driving the abutting cover 503 to press the test tube tightly against the base 4, thereby clamping the test tube to prevent it from detaching from the test tube groove 301. In this way, multiple groups of test tubes can be fixed in the corresponding test tube grooves 301.

Two corresponding groups of limiting seats 2 are symmetrically distributed. The test tube seat 3 is slidably connected to the two symmetrically distributed limiting seats 2, and the test tube seat 3 is detachably connected to the corresponding two groups of limiting seats 2.

[0027] Furthermore, two sets of sliding cavities are symmetrically formed in the test tube holder 3, the handle 202 is slidably connected in the sliding cavity, a first spring 203 is installed on the side wall of the sliding cavity, and the other end of the first spring 203 is connected to the handle 202; a slot 201 is formed in the limit seat 2, and the insertion end of the handle 202 is movably inserted into the slot 201, and the handle 202 is L-shaped.

[0028] In this embodiment, the two handles 202 on the test tube holder 3 fixedly installed with multiple groups of test tubes are slid close to each other along the sliding cavity, so that the two first springs 203 are compressed until the insertion ends of the handles 202 are retracted into the sliding cavity. Immediately, the test tube holder 3 is driven by the two handles 202 to slide and insert between the corresponding two limit seats 2 inside the box body 1 until the bottom end of the test tube holder 3 abuts against the bottom end of the box body 1. Release the restriction on the handle 202, and drive the insertion end of the handle 202 to slide along the sliding cavity until it is inserted into the slot 201 under the action of the elastic recovery of the first spring 203, then the test tube holder 3 can be stably installed with the box body 1, and further the multiple groups of test tubes can be stably connected with the box body 1, avoiding shaking during the movement process, improving the installation stability. In this way, the test tube holder 3 fixedly installed with multiple groups of test tubes can be fixedly installed in the box body 1 again. Closing the box body 1 and the box cover 101 can drive the transfer of the reagent in the test tube, avoiding the reagent from spilling due to the collision of the test tubes.
