Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a thin-layer chromatography spotting auxiliary device for pharmaceutical testing, including an operating table 1 and a spotting mechanism 13. The spotting mechanism 13 is used to spot samples onto a thin-layer plate. The spotting mechanism 13 includes a lifting plate 14, a rotating rod 2 rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the lifting plate 14, and a mounting frame 21 fixed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 2. The mounting frame 21 is used to support and mount spotting components 22. Spotting components 22 are arranged in an array on the outside of the mounting frame 21. The spotting components 22 include microneedles 17, which are used to spot samples onto the thin-layer plate. The sample is dispensed using a dispensing assembly 22, which includes a fixed rod 23 that is movably inserted into a mounting frame 21. A fixed plate 24 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the fixed rod 23, and a positioning assembly 25 is mounted at the bottom of the fixed plate 24. A ball 26 is fixedly mounted at the top of the fixed rod 23, and a compression spring 27 is movably sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 23. A slope 28 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the lifting plate 14. Under the action of the compression spring 27, the micro-needle 17 moves upward, causing one of the micro-needles 17 to bulge downward, facilitating sample dispensing.

[0022] The positioning component 25 includes a positioning frame 3, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 24. A threaded rod 31 is threadedly inserted into the positioning frame 3. A clamping block 32 is rotatably provided at the end of the threaded rod 31. A turntable 34 is fixedly provided at the end of the threaded rod 31 away from the clamping block 32. A micro-needle 17 is installed inside the positioning frame 3.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the micro-needle 17 can be installed through the clamping block 32, and the micro-needle 17 can be easily installed and removed, making it convenient for replacement, maintenance and cleaning.

[0024] A movable frame 11 is slidably provided at the top of the operating table 1, and a movable block 12 is slidably provided on the outside of the movable frame 11. The sampling mechanism 13 is installed on the outside of the movable block 12.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable frame 11 moves on the operating table 1 by electric drive, and the movable block 12 moves on the movable frame 11 by electric drive, thereby driving the sampling mechanism 13 to move in all directions on the operating table 1.

[0026] A soft pad 33 is fixedly provided at the end of the clamping block 32 away from the threaded rod 31, and a connector 35 is installed on the outside of the micro-needle 17.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the soft pad 33 can protect the micro-needle 17, and the connector 35 is used to connect with an external micro-pump for drug delivery.

[0028] The top of the operating table 1 is equipped with symmetrically distributed clamping components 15.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping assembly 15 can position and install the thin plate on the operating table 1. It is mainly composed of springs and pressure plates, and the pressure plate presses it onto the operating table 1.

[0030] The bottom of the control panel 1 is fixed with shock-absorbing feet 16 arranged in a rectangular array.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the shock-absorbing foot pad 16 can play the role of shock absorption and buffering for the device.

[0032] A transmission rod 4 is rotatably inserted inside the lifting plate 14. A first gear 41 is fixedly installed on the outside of the transmission rod 4, and a second gear 42 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 2. The first gear 41 and the second gear 42 mesh with each other.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission rod 4 rotates, driving the first gear 41 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 41 drives the meshing second gear 42 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating rod 2 to rotate.

[0034] A motor 43 is installed at the top of the lifting plate 14. The end of the output shaft of the motor 43 is inserted through the lifting plate 14 and fixedly connected to the transmission rod 4.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the output shaft of motor 43 rotates, driving the transmission rod 4 to rotate.

[0036] Working principle: First, four microneedles 17 are connected to four micropumps via connectors 35. Each micropump is connected to one of four different drug solutions. The thin-layer plate is placed on the operating table 1. When sample application is required, the sample is applied to the thin-layer plate through the microneedles 17. When a different drug needs to be changed, the motor 43 is started. The output shaft of the motor 43 rotates, driving the transmission rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 4 drives the first gear 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing second gear 42 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 42 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting bracket 21 to rotate. The mounting frame 21 rotates, causing the spotting assembly 22 to rotate, so that the ball 26 slides at the bottom of the lifting plate 14. As it passes the slope 28, the ball 26 moves downward along the slope 28. The downward movement of the ball 26 causes the fixing rod 23 to move downward, which in turn causes the corresponding micro-needle 17 to move downward. When the ball 26 is not disengaged from the slope 28, it moves upward under the action of the compression spring 27. This allows for automatic switching and precise positioning of multiple tubes, accurately processing multiple samples or different solvents simultaneously, significantly improving the spotting speed and consistency, increasing work efficiency, reducing human error, and thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of drug testing.

[0037] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
