Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 An atomic fluorescence spectrometer sample holder includes: a housing 100, with a plurality of first mounting plates 110 spaced apart along the front-to-back direction, each first mounting plate 110 having a plurality of first elastic sheets 111 spaced apart along its length, and a plurality of second mounting plates 120 movably disposed in the housing 100 along the left-to-right direction, the second mounting plates 120 being parallel to the first mounting plates 110 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second mounting plates 120 having a plurality of second elastic sheets 121 spaced apart along their length, each second elastic sheet 121 forming a clamping cavity for accommodating a sample tube with the corresponding first elastic sheet 111, the plurality of second mounting plates 120 being connected by connecting rods 122, and a limiting mechanism being provided between one of the second mounting plates 120 and the housing 100, the limiting mechanism being used to lock the position of the second mounting plate 120 after movement.

[0026] In use, the atomic fluorescence spectrometer sample holder with the above structure allows the limiting mechanism to be unlocked according to the size of the sample tube to be placed. This enables multiple second mounting plates 120 to move synchronously in the left-right direction, thereby moving multiple second elastic plates 121 closer to or further away from the corresponding first elastic plate 111. This changes the size of the clamping cavity defined by the first elastic plate 111 and the second elastic plate 121. This not only facilitates the subsequent clamping and fixing of the corresponding sample tube by the first elastic plate 111 and the second elastic plate 121, increasing the applicability of the device, but also allows for simultaneous adjustment of the size of multiple clamping cavities, reducing the workload of manual adjustment. The multiple clamping cavities are distributed in multiple rows and columns, which allows the housing 100 to hold multiple sample tubes.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes bolt rods 123 located on both sides of the second mounting plate 120. Two opposite side walls of the housing 100 have through holes through which the corresponding bolt rods 123 can pass. Each bolt rod 123 is connected to a locking nut 124, which is bolted to the bolt rod 123 and abuts against the side wall of the housing 100. Specifically, when the position of the second mounting plate 120 needs to be adjusted, one of the locking nuts 124 is loosened, allowing the second mounting plate 120 to have a displacement. Then, the second mounting plate 120 is moved so that the clamping cavity can be adapted to the installation of the sample tube. Finally, the corresponding locking nut 124 is tightened again. Thus, the two locking nuts 124 limit the position of the second mounting plate 120 after movement, making overall adjustment convenient and quick, simplifying the adjustment process. It is understood that the limiting mechanism can also be replaced by a pin and pin hole connection. The second mounting plate 120 has extension plates extending out of the housing 100 on both sides. The extension plates have multiple pin holes along their length, so that the pins are inserted into the corresponding pin holes to restrict the movement of the second mounting plate 120.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the first mounting plate 110 is provided with a plurality of oblong holes 112 spaced along its length. The oblong holes 112 extend in the left-right direction. Each second elastic piece 121 is connected to the second mounting plate 120 by a mounting rod 125, and each mounting rod 125 is slidably engaged with the oblong hole 112. Specifically, the engagement of the mounting rod 125 with the oblong hole 112 facilitates the mounting of the second mounting plate 120 on the first mounting plate 110 and also facilitates the guiding and limiting of the movement of the second mounting plate 120, allowing the second mounting plate 120 to perform a translational movement relative to the first mounting plate 110. It can be understood that the second mounting plate 120 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes. One end of the mounting rod 125 is connected to the second elastic piece 121, and the other end of the mounting rod 125 passes through the oblong hole 112 and is connected to the threaded hole, thereby facilitating the mounting of the second elastic piece 121 on the second mounting plate 120.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 2 Furthermore, the first elastic sheet 111 and the second elastic sheet 121 have concave arc surfaces with the same radius, and a clamping cavity is defined between the two concave arc surfaces, so as to better adapt to the clamping and fixing of sample tubes of different models.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the housing 100 is provided with multiple base plates 130 spaced apart along the front-to-back direction. The base plates 130 are located below the first elastic sheet 111 and are used to support the sample tubes upwards. Each base plate 130 is connected to a lifting mechanism that drives it to move vertically. It is understood that, since sample tubes of different models have different lengths, adjusting the height of the base plates 130 using the lifting mechanism facilitates adjusting the installation height of the sample tubes upwards or downwards, which helps to shorten the displacement of subsequent probes into the sample tubes, thereby reducing the sampling time. In addition, in some embodiments, after sampling of a single row of sample tubes, the height of each base plate 130 can be changed through the corresponding lifting mechanism, resulting in a staggered height arrangement of sample tubes after sampling of multiple rows, which facilitates identification and avoids misoperation.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 131 rotatably mounted on the housing 100, with a first slider 132 threadedly engaged with the screw 131. The first slider 132 is connected to the base plate 130. A rotating handle 133 is connected to the upper end of the screw 131, and the rotating handle 133 is located outside the housing 100. A guide mechanism is provided between the first slider 132 and the housing 100 to restrict the rotation of the first slider 132. Specifically, in use, the user drives the rotating handle 133 to rotate, causing the first slider 132 to move along the length of the screw 131 under the action of the screw thread, thereby causing the base plate 130 to move vertically, which is beneficial for changing the height position of the base plate 130.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rod 134, which is parallel to the screw 131. A second slider 135 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 134, and the base plate 130 is connected between the first slider 132 and the second slider 135. Specifically, the cooperation between the guide rod 134 and the second slider 135 facilitates guiding and limiting the lifting and lowering of the base plate 130, thereby enabling the base plate 130 to perform translational movement relative to the housing 100. In some embodiments, the guide rod 134 can also be replaced by a slide rail, which is parallel to the screw 131, and the second slider 135 is slidably engaged with the slide rail, similarly guiding and limiting the movement of the base plate 130.

[0033] See Figure 3Furthermore, both the first slider 132 and the second slider 135 are provided with slots, the slot openings of which are horizontally positioned. The two opposite sidewalls of the base plate 130 are respectively inserted into the corresponding slots, thereby facilitating the plug-in installation of the base plate 130 relative to the first slider 132 and the second slider 135, and also facilitating subsequent disassembly and replacement of the base plate 130. It is understood that the base plate 130 and the first slider 132, and the base plate 130 and the second slider 135, can be further locked together by bolt assemblies, which will not be detailed here.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the housing 100 has two parallel flat plates 101, a screw 131 rotatably mounted on one of the flat plates 101, and a guide rod 134 fixedly mounted on the other flat plate 101. The two flat plates 101 define a placement area for accommodating multiple sample tubes, thus facilitating the placement of multiple sample tubes from outside the housing 100 into the placement area.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
