[0031] The working principle or structural principle of the automatic rapid spectrum analysis system of samples of this structure:

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown: the sample box 15 containing the sample is transported to the receiving and dispatching cabinet 11 through the receiving and dispatching cabinet and pipeline in front of the furnace (not marked in the figure, which does not affect the disclosure of the technical solution). The first robot 13 grabs the sample box 15 in the receiving and dispatching cabinet 11 through the first clamp 14, opens the lid of the decapping machine 12, pours the sample into the loading port 31 of the middle conveyor line, and then puts it into the decapping machine 12 to cover the lid, and then returns the empty sample box to the front of the furnace through the receiving and dispatching cabinet 11.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown: the sample is placed in the loading port 31 and transported to the first blocking and positioning component 34 through the conveying line 33, and the first detection switch 32 feeds back the material information status to the host computer 5.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown: the second robot 23 in the spectral analysis system 2 takes the sample from the middle conveyor line 3 through the second clamp 24 and puts it into the milling machine 22. After the milling machine 22 is processed, the second robot 23 takes the sample from the milling machine 22 through the second clamp 24 and puts it into the spectrum analyzer 21. After the analysis is completed, the sample is placed on the unloading conveyor line 41.

The laser coder 44 then codes the sample according to the information sent by the host computer 5. The vertical guide plate lifting cylinder 45 is initially at the upper limit and does not function, and the sample flows into the last collection tank 46. When the sample needs to flow into a specific collection tank 46, the host computer 5 controls the vertical guide plate lifting cylinder 45 to drive it downward. The sample flows into the corresponding collection tank 47 when the vertical guide plate lifting cylinder 45 stops and switches to the lower position. The second detection switch 42 feeds back the material information status to the host computer 5.
