DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 As shown, an automated sample loading tray for a flow cytometer includes a flow cytometer body 1 and a placement structure 5 located on the side of the flow cytometer body 1; a movable support base 10 is located in the middle of the placement structure 5; a sample loading tray 8 is located in the middle of the movable support base 10; the sample loading tray 8 has an insertion port 9; a rubber air bladder ring 13 is located on the inner wall of the insertion port 9; a connecting vent pipe 15 is located on the side of the rubber air bladder ring 13; an inner connecting telescopic body 14 is located at the middle end of the connecting vent pipe 15; and a rotating extrusion threaded column 11 is located at the upper end of the inner connecting telescopic body 14. The column 11 is connected to the interior connecting telescopic body 14 via a rotating shaft. Rotating the threaded column 11 allows it to be rotated and connected to the sample inlet tray 8 via threads. Rotating the threaded column 11 can compress the interior connecting telescopic body 14. After being compressed, the gas inside the interior connecting telescopic body 14 will enter the rubber air bladder ring 13 along the connecting vent pipe 15, causing it to expand. The expanded rubber air bladder ring 13 will compress the cell placement tube inserted into the insertion port 9, ensuring that it is placed in the center position. At the same time, it restricts the cell placement tube from becoming skewed when the moving support chassis 10 moves, thereby effectively improving the usability of the flow cytometer's automatic sample inlet tray.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, an upper connecting rotating block 12 is provided on the upper side of the rotating extrusion threaded column 11. The upper connecting rotating block 12 and the rotating extrusion threaded column 11 are an integral structure. The upper connecting rotating block 12 provides a position for the hand to hold, making it convenient for the user to rotate the rotating extrusion threaded column 11 for corresponding adjustments.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, an upper connecting acrylic cover 7 is provided on the upper side of the placement structure 5 near the left end. The upper connecting acrylic cover 7 is connected to the placement structure 5 by a plug-in snap-fit ​​method. The upper connecting acrylic cover 7 can be used to cover the placement structure 5 when it is not in use to prevent dust from entering and affecting the subsequent testing results.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a cell analyzer upper connection cover 2 is provided on the upper side of the flow cytometer device body 1. The cell analyzer upper connection cover 2 is connected to the upper side of the flow cytometer device body 1 by a cover snap-fit ​​method. A latching groove 3 is provided on the side of the cell analyzer upper connection cover 2. The latching groove 3 has an arc-shaped structure and provides a position for the user to latch. After the cell analyzer upper connection cover 2 is removed, the staff can inspect and repair the internal components of the flow cytometer device body 1.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, a start button 4 is located on the front side of the flow cytometer device 1. The start button 4 controls the start and stop of the flow cytometer device 1. When the start button 4 starts the flow cytometer device 1, its data will be displayed on an external display device. The flow cytometer device 1 can also be operated and controlled by an external device. When the start button 4 is pressed again, the flow cytometer device 1 will be turned off, and the external device will lose the signal from the flow cytometer device 1.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a bottom connecting support leg 6 is provided at the bottom of the flow cytometer device body 1. The bottom connecting support leg 6 is connected to the flow cytometer device body 1 by rotating through a threaded post. The outer bottom surface of the bottom connecting support leg 6 is made of rubber. The rotational connection of the threaded post of the bottom connecting support leg 6 is quick and can improve installation efficiency. The rubber material on the outer bottom surface of the bottom connecting support leg 6 can increase the friction between the bottom connecting support leg 6 and the placement surface, thereby making the flow cytometer device body 1 more stable.
