[0031] An electric slide rail 208 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the rotating plate 207. The electric slide rail 208 is aligned with the length direction of the extrusion plate 212, and an electric slider 209 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the electric slide rail 208. An extension rod 210 is fixedly installed on the front of the electric slider 209, and a hoop 211 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extension rod 210. Extrusion rods 213 are slidably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the hoop 211.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model:

[0035] The conveyor belt 101 is installed inside the synchronous belt linear slide module. When the conveyor belt 101 moves, it drives the storage rack 103 to move in a straight line, thereby moving the tested pipette to below the clamp ring 211. Then, the electric cylinder 204 drives the connecting frame 205 to descend through its extension end. The clamp ring 211 is fitted onto the outside of the pipette. Then, the electric slider 209 moves down along the inner side of the electric slide rail 208, and the end of the squeezing rod 213 moves to the inclined surface of the squeezing plate 212, thereby pushing the squeezing rod 213 towards the inner side of the clamp ring 211. The clamping block 214 approaches the outside of the pipette. The pipette is then clamped, and then the first electric cylinder 204 retracts, causing the clamp 211 to lift the pipette and separate it from the storage tank 104. The output shaft of the motor 206 rotates 180 degrees, thereby aligning the clamp 211 with the collection box 202. At this time, the extension end of the second electric cylinder 217 extends and pushes the eject button on the top of the pipette through the push plate 218, so that the pipette tip falls off and into the collection box 202. After the above operation, the clamp can reinstall the pipette into the storage tank 104. After the conveyor belt 101 moves, it clamps another pipette.
