[0021] As attached Figures 1-4 The illustration shows a novel fixed rotary table for automatic sample injection in a liquid chromatograph, comprising a rotary table body 1 mounted at the bottom of the automatic sample injection device of the liquid chromatograph. A motor for driving the rotary table body 1 to rotate is mounted at the bottom of the automatic sample injection device. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotary table body 1. The interior of the rotary table body 1 has a plurality of annularly spaced through slots 2. A rotating rod 3 is inserted vertically into the middle of the rotary table body 1, and the top end of the rotating rod 3 extends to the top of the rotary table body 1 and is fixed thereon. A handwheel 4 is connected, and a gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 3 below the handwheel 4. A locking mechanism for limiting the gear 5 is connected to the top of the turntable body 1. A rotating block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 3 inside the turntable body 1. The outer wall of the rotating block 14 is connected in a ring with the same number of connecting rods 15 as the through slot 2. An arc-shaped rod 16 is fixedly connected to the end of each connecting rod 15. An arc-shaped clamping plate 17 is fixedly connected to the end of each arc-shaped rod 16 inside a through slot 2.
[0022] As attached Figures 1-2As shown, a bearing is installed on the top of the turntable body 1 at the external position corresponding to the rotating rod 3, which facilitates the stable rotation of the rotating rod 3 on the turntable body 1.
[0023] As attached Figures 1-2 As shown, the top of the rotating rod 3 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the handwheel 4, and the gear 5 is fixed to the rotating rod 3 by screws, which facilitates the connection and fixation between the handwheel 4 and the gear 5 and the rotating rod 3.
[0024] As attached Figures 1-2 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a fixed housing 6 disposed outside the gear 5. A fixed rod 10 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the fixed housing 6 and the top of the turntable body 1. A telescopic rod 7 is connected to the inner side of the fixed housing 6 near the gear 5. A locking block 8 that engages with the external teeth of the gear 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 7. A toggle rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the telescopic rod 7 near the locking block 8. A movable plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 7 inside the fixed housing 6. The interior of the fixed housing 6 corresponds to the exterior of the movable plate 11 along the waterline. A telescopic cavity 12 is provided in the horizontal direction. A spring 13 is connected between the end of the movable plate 11 and the inner wall of the telescopic cavity 12. The locking mechanism facilitates the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 7 inside the fixed shell 6 by pushing the actuating rod 9 during use, which makes it easy to adjust the distance between the locking block 8 and the gear 5. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating rod 3, the actuating rod 9 is pulled to control the locking block 8 to move away from the gear 5. After rotating to the desired position, the actuating rod 9 is released. Under the action of the spring 13, the telescopic rod 7 extends to push the locking block 8 to lock the gear 5.
[0025] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the turntable body 1 has a circular cavity inside for mounting the rotating block 14.

The second cavity 19 is connected to the first cavity 18, so that when in use, the rotating rod 3 can be rotated by turning the handwheel 4. The rotating rod 3 drives the rotating block 14 inside the turntable body 1 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 15 and the arc rod 16 to rotate. The arc rod 16 pushes the arc-shaped clamping plate 17 to move inside the through groove 2 to clamp and lock the test tube placed inside.
[0026] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the end of the arc-shaped rod 16 is welded and fixed to the arc-shaped clamping plate 17, which facilitates the connection and fixation between the arc-shaped clamping plate 17 and the arc-shaped rod 16.

The specific structure is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figures 1-4As shown, in this technical solution, the turntable body 1 is provided with a through groove 2 for placing test tubes. After the test tubes are placed, a structure for clamping, fixing, and releasing the test tubes is also designed. In specific operation, first push the lever 9 on the locking mechanism to drive the telescopic rod 7 to extend and retract inside the fixed shell 6, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the toothed block 8 and the gear 5. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating rod 3, pull the lever 9 to control the toothed block 8 to move away from the gear 5. At this time, turn the handwheel 4 to drive the rotating rod 3, the gear 5, and the rotating block 14 to rotate. When the moving block 14 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 15 and the arc rod 16 to rotate. The arc rod 16 pushes the arc-shaped clamping plate 17 to move inside the through groove 2 to clamp and lock the test tube placed inside. Then, the lever 9 is released. Under the action of the spring 13, the telescopic rod 7 extends to push the locking tooth block 8 to lock the gear 5, and the test tube is kept in a fixed position. When it is necessary to remove the test tube, the lever 9 is pulled to drive the locking tooth block 8 away from the gear 5. At this time, the handwheel 4 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 17 to disengage from the test tube.
