[0013] 1. In this utility model, the anti-slip layer is fixedly connected to several circular slots arranged in a ring array on the lower wall of the chuck in the snap-fit ​​assembly. This design effectively solves the problem that the sample placement area of ​​traditional ELISA readers is smooth, and the sample is prone to displacement due to vibration or improper operation. During instrument operation, the anti-slip layer provides strong friction to ensure stable sample placement and avoid the detection optical path from being unable to accurately align with the sample due to sample displacement, which greatly improves the reliability of the detection results. At the same time, several slots on the outer surface of the chuck are precisely snapped into several snap-fit ​​blocks arranged in a ring array on the inner wall of the turntable, with their positions and dimensions corresponding one-to-one.

When it is necessary to lock the sample position, the handle is released, and the elastic restoring force of the tension spring drives the fixing plate to accurately engage with the front tooth groove of the gear block, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating rod and fixing the sample position. This process is simple and efficient, avoiding the tedious steps of multiple manual fine adjustments in the traditional method. Moreover, the resistance layer fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixing plate increases the friction between it and the tooth groove of the gear block, preventing the fixing plate from accidentally coming off due to external force vibration and other factors, ensuring the stability and reliability of sample positioning, ensuring the accuracy of sample position during long-term detection by the ELISA reader, and effectively solving the problem of insufficient fixing force of traditional fixing devices.
