[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a sample swab holder pushing mechanism includes an upper plate 1, a lower plate 2, and a swab holder 4. A guide rail 7 is provided on the lower plate 2, and a movable seat 8 is slidably connected to the guide rail 7. A driving mechanism for driving the movable seat 8 to move is provided on the lower plate 2. A connecting plate 15 is provided on the movable seat 8. The connecting plate 15 includes a main plate 15a and an extension 15b provided at the upper end of the main plate 15a. A through groove 1a corresponding to the extension 15b is provided on the upper plate 1. The extension 15b passes through the through groove 1a. A push block 16 is provided at the upper end of the extension 15b. The swab holder 4 is placed above the upper plate 1, and the push block 16 pushes the swab holder to move on the upper plate 1. The swab holder 4 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 4a.

[0019] In this invention, the swab holder 4 is connected to the movable base 8 via a connecting plate 15. The movable base 8 is driven to move by a drive mechanism, and the movable base 8 drives the swab holder 4 to move, thereby realizing the automatic pushing of the swab holder 4. The insertion hole 4a on the swab holder 4 is used to place the swab to be tested. A push block 16 is provided at the upper end of the extension 15b. The length of the push block 16 is greater than half the width of the swab holder 4. The push block 16 is not directly fixed to the swab holder 4. When the push block 16 pushes the swab holder 4 to move, the push block contacts one side of the bottom of the swab holder 4. The setting of the push block 16 increases the contact area with the bottom of the swab holder 4. The larger contact area ensures the stability of pushing the swab holder, and the swab holder is not prone to tilting during the pushing process.

[0020] This invention enables the automatic pushing function of the swab holder 4, eliminating the need for manual pushing by operators, thus saving time and effort. Furthermore, this invention has a simple and reliable structure, low manufacturing cost, and is conducive to large-scale promotion and use.

[0021] The upper plate 1 and the lower plate 2 are connected by a support column 3.

[0022] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a motor 5 and a shaft seat 9. Both the motor 5 and the shaft seat 9 are fixedly mounted on the lower plate 2. The motor 5 is mounted on the lower plate 2 via a motor mounting bracket 14. A rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the shaft seat 9. A first pulley 6 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5, and a second pulley 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 10. A transmission belt 12 is positioned between the first pulley 6 and the second pulley 11, and the transmission belt 12 is connected to the movable seat 8. The transmission belt 12 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 7. The motor 5 drives the transmission belt 12 to move, and the movement of the transmission belt 12 causes the movable seat 8 to move.

[0023] The lower plate 2 is provided with a first sensing device 17 and a second sensing device 16, and the movable seat 8 moves between the first sensing device 17 and the second sensing device 16. In this embodiment, both the first sensing device 17 and the second sensing device 16 are infrared sensors.

[0024] Both the first sensing device 17 and the second sensing device 16 are connected to the control system. When the moving seat 8 moves to the position corresponding to the first sensing device 17, the first sensing device 17 is triggered. At this time, the control system controls the motor 5 to stop running, so that the moving seat 8 and the swab holder 4 are both stationary at the current position. At this time, the swab holder 4 is in the loading position, and the operator can put the swab to be tested into the insertion hole 4a on the swab holder 4. Similarly, when the moving seat 8 moves to the position corresponding to the second sensing device 16, the second sensing device 16 is triggered. At this time, the control system controls the motor 5 to stop running, so that the moving seat 8 and the swab holder 4 are both stationary at the current position. At this time, the swab holder 4 is in the detection position, and analysis and detection are performed by the detection instrument.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper plate 1 is provided with a guide strip 13, and a protrusion 4b is provided on one side of the swab holder 4, the protrusion 4b being located between the guide strip 13 and the upper plate 1. The guide strip 13 further constrains and guides the movement of the swab holder 4, increasing the stability of the movement of the swab holder 4.

[0026] The push block 16 and the extension 15b are connected by screws. The extension has a connecting hole, and the push block 16 has a screw through hole corresponding to the connecting hole. The screw passes through the screw through hole on the push block 16 and connects with the connecting hole on the extension 15b.

[0027] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same as or similar to this application falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
