Manual operation is not only low in efficiency, but also difficult to meet the increasing demand for grain detection, and is greatly affected by human factors. When the cap is twisted, the torque control is uneven, which can cause reagent leakage, sample pollution or cap damage. When the pipe is moved and the sample is transferred, the positioning accuracy is insufficient, which can cause sample quantity deviation and directly affect the accuracy of the detection result. At the same time, the operator needs to directly contact harmful substances such as fungal toxins and chemical reagents, which poses a health and safety risk.

Under the manual operation mode, the switching and alternating process of these is tedious and time-consuming, which seriously restricts the high-throughput advantage of the detection, and it is difficult to adapt to the integrated needs of multiple reagents, multiple containers and multiple steps in the fungal toxin detection.

The arc-shaped groove on the inner side wall of the clamping jaw 920 can be fitted with the outer peripheral contour of the cylindrical container, increasing the contact area between the clamping jaw 920 and the container, reducing local pressure concentration while increasing friction, avoiding slipping and deviation of the container during clamping or transfer, and ensuring stable posture of the container, laying a foundation for precise execution of subsequent cap screwing and container moving operations.

[0066] In some embodiments, the upper end of the mandrel 800 is provided with a connecting seat 820, the connecting seat 820 has a receiving hole 822; a limiting disc 830 is arranged in the receiving hole 822, and the limiting disc 830 is located on the inner side of the lower end of the receiving hole 822; a flange bushing 840 can be rotatably fitted in the lower end of the receiving hole 822, and the flange of the flange bushing 840 is located on the outer side of the lower end of the receiving hole 822; a connecting bolt 850 passes through the center holes of the limiting disc 830 and the flange bushing 840 and is threadedly connected with the end of the mandrel 800; the side surface of the connecting seat 820 is provided with a lateral assembly groove 821.

[0067] It can be understood that the connecting seat 820 at the upper end of the mandrel 800 can form precise axial positioning of the mandrel 800 through the cooperation of the receiving hole 822, the limiting disc 830 and the flange bushing 840. The limiting disc 830 is limited on the inner side of the lower end of the receiving hole 822, and the flange of the flange bushing 840 abuts on the outer side of the lower end of the receiving hole 822. The two cooperate with the connecting bolt 850 to limit the axial movement of the mandrel 800, ensuring that the mandrel 800 only stably rotates in the preset direction, and providing a structural basis for precise transmission of the mandrel 800 driving the opening and closing of the clamping jaw 920.

[0068] The lateral assembly groove 821 on the side of the connecting seat 820 can provide a tool operating space for assembly or maintenance. The overall structure is rigidly connected by connecting bolts 850 and cooperates with the limiting disc 830 and the flange bushing 840, which can ensure the connection strength of the mandrel 800 and the connecting seat 820, and can ensure the stability of the movement of the mandrel 800 and the reliability of the transmission through the cooperation of the rotatable fitting and the axial positioning, thereby providing key support for the precise action of the detection arm end gripper 920.

[0069] To facilitate the installation of the connecting seat, the hollow support seat 400 can be connected to the telescopic execution end 320 through an intermediate support structure, wherein the intermediate support structure includes an upper plate connected to the telescopic execution end 320, and the upper plate is connected to the hollow support seat 400 through a plurality of columns, gaps are provided between the columns, and a plurality of columns are surrounded by a shell.

[0070] In some embodiments, the upper end of the intermediate sleeve 500 is provided with a counterbore 520, and a compression spring 540 is arranged in the counterbore 520. One end of the compression spring 540 abuts against the bottom wall of the counterbore 520, and the other end abuts against the flange bushing 840.

[0071] It can be understood that the compression spring 540 in the counterbore 520 at the upper end of the intermediate sleeve 500 can continuously apply an elastic pushing force to the flange bushing 840 by abutting against the bottom wall of the counterbore 520 and the flange bushing 840 at both ends, thereby pushing the flange bushing 840 to tightly fit the relevant fitting components of the mandrel 800, eliminating the gap between the transmission, such as gear meshing, avoiding the idle stroke caused by the gap during transmission, and ensuring that the axial sliding of the mandrel 800 can be accurately transmitted to the gripper 920, thereby ensuring the synchronicity and precision of the opening and closing action of the gripper 920 and preventing the gripper 920 from deviating from the clamping position due to the transmission idle stroke.

[0072] Meanwhile, the reverse elastic force provided by the compression spring 540 acts on the mandrel 800 through the flange bushing 840, so that the mandrel 800 always has a pre-tightening trend in the direction of clamping the gripper 920, thereby allowing the gripper 920 to maintain a stable clamping trend. Even in the case of slight loosening trend of the mandrel 800, load fluctuation trend or vibration environment, the pre-tightening force of the compression spring 540 can maintain the clamping state of the gripper 920 on the container, thereby avoiding the container from slipping or falling off. The continuous and precise clamping requirement of the telescopic device 300 can be reduced. Even if the telescopic device 300 does not apply clamping force, reliable clamping can still be achieved through the elastic force of the compression spring 540, thereby simplifying the design of the transmission structure and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, when the transmission components or other components are slightly worn, the elastic force of the compression spring 540 can maintain the close fit of the components, thereby avoiding the expansion of the wear gap and causing the clamping force to decrease, prolonging the service life of the overall structure and reducing the maintenance frequency.

[0073] In some embodiments, the lower section of the mandrel 800 has a rack section 860, both sides of which are provided with driving toothed portions 810 for engaging with the second gear 20.

[0074] The rack section 860 at the lower end of the mandrel 800 is engaged with the second gear 20 through the engagement teeth provided on both sides, which can increase the engagement contact area between the mandrel 800 and the first gear 10, so that the driving force generated by the axial sliding of the mandrel 800 is evenly transmitted to the first gear 10 through the engagement teeth on both sides, avoiding the force concentration of the first gear 10 caused by the traditional unilateral engagement, reducing the local wear of the tooth surface of the first gear 10, and preventing the first gear 10 from appearing to be deflected due to unilateral force, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission process and avoiding the transmission jamming or tooth surface damage caused by uneven force. The engagement transmission between the rack section 860 and the first gear 10 has a fixed transmission ratio, which can accurately convert the axial linear motion of the mandrel 800 into the rotational motion of the first gear 10, and the mandrel 800 can drive the first gear 10 to rotate by a fixed angle every time it slides by a fixed distance, thereby enabling the clamping jaw 920 to obtain a precise opening and closing amplitude. Even if the mandrel 800 has a slight radial deviation due to assembly or use, the engagement teeth on both sides can ensure effective engagement with the first gear 10, maintain the continuity of the transmission, avoid the risk of disengagement caused by the deviation of the mandrel 800 when engaged unilaterally, and further ensure the reliability of the action of the clamping jaw 920, thereby providing stable transmission support for the precise execution of the clamping operation at the end of the detection arm.
