[0029] In order to solve the technical problem that the clamping device in the prior art cannot limit the test tube 3 that needs to be rotated, the present application provides a test tube clamping device which can rotate the test tube 3 while limiting the rotating test tube 3.

[0030] It should be noted that the test tube clamping device described in the present application is used for but not limited to test tube 3 sealing, in order to facilitate the description, in the present application, only the test tube clamping device applied to the test tube 3 sealing equipment is taken as an example for description, and the principle of the test tube clamping device applied to other types of equipment is substantially the same as that applied to the test tube 3 sealing equipment, which will not be described here; It should be understood that the clamping device can also clamp other pipe materials of the type of test tube 3, and the principle is the same as that of clamping test tube 3, which will not be described here.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structure schematic view of a test tube clamping device according to an embodiment of the present application, the test tube clamping device comprises a clamping assembly 1 and a limiting assembly 2, the clamping assembly 1 has a fixing piece 11 and two clamping pieces 12 connected with the fixing piece 11, the two clamping pieces 12 can slide towards each other or away from each other; the limiting assembly 2 is connected with the fixing piece 11 or the clamping piece 12, and is arranged between the two clamping pieces 12, the limiting assembly 2 is provided with a rotating groove 2a matched with the outer diameter of the test tube 3, and can be rotatably sleeved on the test tube 3 through the rotating groove 2a.

[0032] Specifically, asFigure 1 As shown, when the test tube 3 is sealed, the sealing device clamps the test tube 3 and can drive the test tube 3 to rotate, the test tube 3 is clamped by the two clamping pieces 12, and the limiting assembly 2 is sleeved on the end of the test tube 3 away from the sealing device through the rotating groove 2a. When the test tube 3 needs to be rotated for heating, the clamping force of the two clamping pieces 12 on the test tube 3 is reduced, so that the test tube 3 can rotate relative to the two clamping pieces 12. During the rotation of the test tube 3, the limiting assembly 2 limits the test tube 3 through the limiting groove, so that the end of the rotating test tube 3 away from the sealing device is not suspended, and the test tube 3 can stably rotate, so that the test tube 3 can be uniformly heated.

[0033] When the test tube 3 is sealed, the test tube 3 is clamped by the two clamping pieces 12, and the test tube 3 is driven by the clamping device to rotate away from the sealing device. At this time, the upper half of the test tube 3 rotates, and the lower half is fixed, so that the test tube 3 is sealed and fused from the heated part, and the sealing of the test tube 3 is realized.

[0034] It should be understood that the rotating groove 2a can be a blind hole or can penetrate the limiting assembly 2. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the rotating groove 2a penetrates the limiting assembly 2.

[0035] By penetrating the test tube 3 with the rotating groove 2a, the limiting assembly 2 can be sleeved on the middle part of the test tube 3 through the rotating groove 2a, reducing the distance between the rotating section of the test tube 3 and the part sleeved by the limiting assembly 2, so that the test tube 3 can rotate more stably.

[0036] In order to facilitate the limiting assembly 2 to be sleeved on the test tube 3 through the rotating groove 2a, as shown in Figure 3 In one embodiment, a chamfer is provided inside one end of the rotating groove 2a, and the inner diameter of the chamfer of the rotating groove 2a gradually increases in the direction of the end close to the limiting assembly 2.

[0037] When the rotating assembly is sleeved on the test tube 3 through the rotating groove 2a, the side of the rotating groove 2a provided with the chamfer is sleeved on the test tube 3 first, which can guide the sleeving of the rotating assembly and avoid the rotating assembly being stuck at the bottom of the test tube 3.

[0038] It should be understood that the limiting assembly 2 can be a limiting support, a limiting strip, a limiting plate, etc. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 In one embodiment, the limiting assembly 2 includes a limiting block 21 and a connecting arm 22, the limiting block 21 is arranged between the two clamping pieces 12 and is provided with a rotating groove 2a, and the connecting arm 22 connects the limiting block 21 and the fixing piece 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the limiting block 21 can be sleeved on the test tube 3 through the rotating groove 2a, and the connecting arm 22 realizes the connection between the fixing member 11 and the limiting block 21, thereby realizing the rotational limitation of the limiting block 21 and the test tube 3.

[0040] It should be understood that the limiting block 21 and the fixing member 11 can be fixedly connected, or the connection can be achieved in other ways, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting arm 22 is detachably connected to the fixing member 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting arm 22 and the fixing member 11 are connected in a detachable manner. When the limiting block 21 is worn, the connecting arm 22 can be removed from the fixing member 11 to replace the limiting component 2.

[0046] In the embodiment, the inner wall at the notch 122a is attached to the peripheral wall of the test tube 3 when the clamping jaw 122 clamps the test tube 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamping jaw 122 and the test tube 3. Meanwhile, the notches 122a of the clamping jaws 122 located on both sides of the axis of the rotating groove 2a can be combined to form a ring-shaped structure, and the test tube 3 is sleeved in the ring-shaped structure to limit the movement of the test tube 3 relative to the clamping jaw 122.

[0048] In the embodiment, by arranging at least two clamping jaws 122 on both sides of the limiting block 21, the clamping jaw 122 can clamp the test tube 3 at both ends of the limiting block 21, so that the clamping position of the test tube 3 is at both ends of the limiting block 21, and the rotating groove 2a of the limiting block 21 cooperates to limit the test tube 3, so that the test tube 3 can be more stably clamped by the clamping jaw 122.

[0049] In order to reduce the weight of the clamping arm 121, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in one of the embodiments, the clamping arm 121 is provided with a plurality of lightening grooves 121a.

[0050] In the embodiment, by arranging the lightening grooves 121a on the clamping arm 121, the weight of the clamping arm 121 can be reduced, and the influence on the structural strength of the clamping arm 121 is minimized.

[0051] It should be understood that the clamping assembly 1 can be a pneumatic clamping jaw, a hydraulic clamping jaw, etc. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in one of the embodiments, the clamping assembly 1 is an electric clamping jaw, the fixing part 11 of the clamping assembly 1 is a driving unit of the electric clamping jaw, which includes a motor (not shown in the figure) and a speed reducer (not shown in the figure), is responsible for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, and reducing the speed to increase the torque through the speed reducer, to drive the opening and closing action of the clamping part 12, the two clamping parts 12 of the clamping assembly 1 are composed of a clamping jaw body and a transmission mechanism (not shown in the figure), which directly contacts and clamps the object, and the transmission mechanism is responsible for converting the rotary motion of the motor into the linear movement of the clamping jaw.
