Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present application and the above drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment containing a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0029] The following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings Figures 1-3 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 The flexible slide clamp module shown comprises a first linear track 1, a second linear track 2, two third linear tracks 3, a first driving mechanism 4, a second driving mechanism 5, a third driving mechanism 6 and a clamp 7;

[0031] The clamp 7 is slidingly arranged on the first linear track 1 for clamping the slide, the first linear track 1 extends towards the vertical direction, and the first driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the clamp 7 to move on the first linear track 1;

[0032] The second linear track 2 extends towards the horizontal direction, the second linear track 2 is slidingly arranged on the first linear track 1, and the second driving mechanism 5 is used to drive the first linear track 1 to move on the second linear track 2;

[0033] The third linear track 3 extends towards the horizontal direction, and the two third linear tracks 3 are arranged in parallel, the two ends of the second linear track 2 are respectively slidingly arranged on the two third linear tracks 3, and the third driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the second linear track 2 to move on the two third linear tracks 3.

[0034] Based on the above structure, in use, the slide is clamped by the clamp 7, the clamp 7 is driven to move on the first linear track 1 by the first driving mechanism 4, the first linear track 1 is driven to move on the second linear track 2 by the second driving mechanism 5, and the second linear track 2 is driven to move on the two third linear tracks 3 by the third driving mechanism 6, so as to complete the movement of the clamp 7 in the Z-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction, realize the flexible operation of the slide, meet the needs of different process links, and improve the efficiency of sample detection.

[0035] As Figure 3As shown, the clamp 7 comprises a mounting base 71, clamping heads 72 arranged on the two mounting bases 71, a driving member for driving the two clamping heads 72 to move towards or away from each other, and two limiting assemblies.
