[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: An easy-to-maintain spectrophotometer, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a spectrophotometer body 1, a light source chamber 2 with a right opening structure is opened at the right end of the spectrophotometer body 1, a cabinet door 201 is provided at the opening of the light source chamber 2, and the cabinet door 201 is hinged to the spectrophotometer body 1; a lamp holder 3 is provided in the light source chamber 2, and the lamp holder 3 includes a rotating shaft 301 rotatably arranged in the light source chamber 2, and a rotation drive device is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 301, and the rotation drive device is used to drive the rotating shaft 301 to rotate. For technicians in the relevant field, the rotation drive device is a well-known technology, so it will not be described in detail. A rotating base 302 is fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom end of the rotating shaft 301, and a plurality of socket holes are provided on the top of the rotating base 302, which are evenly distributed along its circumferential direction, and a hollow cathode lamp 4 extending upward is inserted into the socket hole.

[0024] The rotating base 302 is provided with a clamping mechanism 5, which is used to clamp and fix the hollow cathode lamps 4 to prevent the multiple hollow cathode lamps 4 from loosening during rotation and switching. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a rotating plate 501 rotatably arranged on the top of the rotating base 302, and the rotating plate 501 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 301. The rotating plate 501 is provided with a plurality of arc grooves 502 uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. A first arc groove 502 extending upward is fixed in the arc groove 502. A clamping plate 503, a plurality of second clamping plates 504 are fixedly provided on the rotating base 302, the second clamping plates 504 are passed through a plurality of arc grooves 502, the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 are arranged opposite to each other, and the socket hole is located between the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504, and the rotating plate 501 can drive the first clamping plate 503 to move by rotation so as to clamp and fix the bottom of the hollow cathode lamp 4 between the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504.

[0025] A spring mechanism 6 is provided on the rotating base 302, and the spring mechanism 6 is used to generate a thrust on the rotating plate 501 to push the rotating plate 501 to rotate and clamp and fix the hollow cathode lamp 4. Specifically, the rotating base 302 is provided with a plurality of grooves 601 spaced apart along its circumferential direction, and the grooves 601 extend along the circumferential direction of the rotating base 302. The spring mechanism 6 includes a slider 602 slidingly arranged in the groove 601, and the slider 602 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating plate 501. The slider 602 is located at one end of the groove 601, and a spring 603 is provided between the slider 602 and the other end of the groove 601. The spring 603 can push the rotating plate 501 to rotate through the slider 602, so as to clamp and fix the hollow cathode lamp 4.

[0026] By rotating the rotating plate 501, multiple first clamping plates 503 can be separated from the second clamping plates 504 at the same time, which is convenient for staff to replace and maintain multiple hollow cathode lamps 4 at the same time, simplifying the maintenance process; after loosening the rotating plate 501, the rotating plate 501 can automatically reset through the slider 602 under the action of the spring 603 to clamp the hollow cathode lamp 4, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

[0027] In order to facilitate the staff to rotate the rotating plate 501 to separate the first clamping plate 503 from the second clamping plate 504 so as to insert the hollow cathode lamp 4, a plurality of protrusions 7 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction are fixedly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating plate 501.

[0028] Sponge strips 8 are fixed on opposite sides of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504. The sponge strips 8 can prevent the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504 from directly contacting the hollow cathode lamp 4, reducing damage to the object during clamping. At the same time, the surface energy of the sponge strips 8 increases the clamping force, further preventing the hollow cathode lamp 4 from sliding during the clamping process.

[0029] Since the socket hole is located between the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504, it is not convenient to see the depth of the hollow cathode lamp 4 inserted into the socket hole during use. In order to determine the insertion depth of the hollow cathode lamp 4 to ensure that the hollow cathode lamp 4 can be powered on, and at the same time avoid excessive force during insertion, which may cause damage to the pins of the hollow cathode lamp 4, a limit ring 9 is fixed on the outer surface of the hollow cathode lamp 4, and when the limit ring 9 rests against the top of the first clamping plate 503 and the second clamping plate 504, the bottom of the hollow cathode lamp 4 fits against the rotating base 302.

[0030] A fixing ring 10 is fixed on the rotating shaft 301, and a plurality of U-shaped clips 11 are fixed on the fixing ring 10 and are evenly distributed along its circumferential direction. The U-shaped clips 11 are made of plastic and have certain elasticity and toughness. The hollow cathode lamp 4 is clamped in the U-shaped clips 11. The U-shaped clips 11 can support the hollow cathode lamp 4 to prevent the hollow cathode lamp 4 from tilting during rotation.

[0031] Working principle: When replacing the hollow cathode lamp 4, rotate the rotating plate 501 and separate the multiple first clamping plates 503 from the second clamping plates 504 at the same time, then pull out the hollow cathode lamp 4 to be replaced from the socket hole of the rotating base 302, and insert the new hollow cathode lamp 4 into the socket hole of the rotating base 302, then loosen the rotating plate 501, and the rotating plate 501 automatically resets through the slider 602 under the action of the spring 603 to clamp the hollow cathode lamp 4.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. It is intended that all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
