DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] like Figures 1 to 8 The figure shows an automatic opening and closing cover robotic arm of a fully automatic digestion instrument, characterized in that: the robotic arm 1 forms a closed design through a sealing cover 2 to isolate acid gas, the sealing cover 2 is made of corrosion-resistant material and sprayed with Teflon coating, and the bottom of the robotic arm 1 is transmission-connected to the locking limit block 3 for movement of the locking limit block 3.

[0022] A bracket 7 is provided in the robotic arm 1, and the bracket 7 is made of aluminum alloy with Teflon coating sprayed on the surface. A slide rail 9 is provided on the bracket 7, and a slider 10 is slidably provided on the slide rail 9. The slider 10 is transmission-connected to the transmission rod of the lifting screw motor 4 for lifting and lowering the slider 10. A lifting and positioning optical coupler 8 is provided below the lifting screw motor 4 for lifting and positioning. The slider 10 is fixedly connected to the locking motor 5, and the slider 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting rod 11. The bottom end of the lifting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the locking limit block 3. A locking rod 12 is provided in the lifting rod 11, and the top end of the locking rod 12 passes through the slider 10 and is transmission connected to the locking motor 5 for the locking rod 12 to rotate. A locking positioning optical coupler 6 is provided below the locking motor 5 for rotation positioning. The bottom end of the locking rod 12 passes through the locking limit block 3 and is fixedly connected to the locking block 13. The locking rod 12 drives the locking block 13 to rotate. The locking block 13 cooperates with the test tube cover bracket hook 18 provided on the test tube cover bracket 17 for the robotic arm 1 to grab or put down the test tube cover bracket 17. A long strip of opening groove is provided on the test tube cover bracket hook 18 for the locking block 13 to slide into. The test tube cover bracket 17 is made of aluminum alloy with Teflon coating sprayed on the surface.

[0023] A first sealing ring 14 is provided at the connection between the locking rod 12 and the slider 10, a second sealing ring 15 is provided at the connection between the lifting rod 11 and the sealing cover 2, and a third sealing ring 16 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the lifting rod 11. The first sealing ring 14, the second sealing ring 15 and the third sealing ring 16 are used to isolate the acid gas.

[0024] In the embodiment, during the cover removal operation, the lifting screw motor 4 drives the slider 10 to slide downward on the slide rail 9, and the slider 10 drives the locking motor 5 and the lifting rod 11 to slide downward together. The lifting positioning optical coupler 8 is used to limit the lifting distance of the slider 10 driven by the lifting screw motor 4. When the preset descending distance is reached, that is, the locking limit block 3 is completely sleeved on the test tube cover bracket buckle 18, the lifting screw motor 4 stops operating, and the locking block 13 is inserted through the open slot on the test tube cover bracket buckle 18 at this time. The locking motor 5 drives the locking rod 12 to rotate in the lifting rod 11. The locking rod 12 drives the locking block 13 to rotate, and the locking positioning optical coupler 6 is used to limit the rotation angle of the locking rod 12 and the locking block 13. At this time, the locking block 13 rotates forward 90 degrees and is perpendicular to the opening slot, the locking motor 5 stops working, the lifting screw motor 4 starts working again, and drives the slider 10 to slide upward on the slide rail 9, and the locking block 13 drives the test tube cover bracket 17 to move upward together. When the preset rising distance is reached, the lifting screw motor 4 stops working again, the test tube cover is completely separated from the test tube, and the cover removal operation is completed.

[0025] When the lifting rod 11 is lowered, the locking block 13 is in the state of hooking the hook 18 of the test tube cover holder. When the preset lowering distance is reached, the test tube cover and the test tube are completely closed, the lifting rod motor 4 stops operating, the locking motor 5 drives the locking rod 12 to rotate in the lifting rod 11, and the locking rod 12 drives the locking block 13 to rotate. The locking block 13 rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction, and the locking motor 5 stops operating. The lifting screw motor 4 drives the slider 10 to slide upward on the slide rail 9, and the locking block 13 slides out of the open slot, and the test tube cover holder 17 remains on the test tube rack. When the preset rising distance is reached, the lifting screw motor 4 stops operating again, and the covering operation is completed.
