The pipetting equidistant conversion component is located on the side of the pipette support away from the blood collection tube grasping component, and the pipetting guide rail is located on the side of the pipetting equidistant conversion component away from the blood collection tube grasping component. The pipette is mounted on the pipetting guide rail, and the pipetting guide rail is mounted on the pipette support, driving the pipetting equidistant conversion component of the pipette assembly to move.

[0003] However, the device has some inconveniences in use. It is not easy to adjust and control the liquid transfer between two containers with different spacings. Also, it is not easy to move and adjust the device to a stable position. Utility Model Content

At the same time, it also solves the problem that the device is not easy to move and adjust and then place stably.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a variable-distance pipetting device, comprising a base, a moving mechanism on the base, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base, a column fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder rod of the cylinder, a slide fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, the slide and the column being slidably connected, a motor fixedly mounted on the upper end of the column, a slide block fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor shaft, a telescopic mechanism on the slide block, and a suction tube on the telescopic mechanism.
[0006] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a support plate, which is slidably connected to the interior of the base. A caster wheel is mounted on the lower end of the support plate, and a wedge block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate. A motor is fixedly mounted on the right end of the base, with its output end passing through the base and rotatably connected to it. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the left end of the motor's output end, rotatably connected to the base. A pressure block is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw, and slidably connected to the base. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate and the pressure block to perform threaded movement, causing the pressure block to move and press against the wedge block. This, in turn, causes the support plate to move the caster wheel up and down within the base. This facilitates clutch control between the base and the ground, making the device easy to move and stable when placed in a designated location.

The device uses a servo motor to drive a bidirectional screw to rotate and a slider to make a spiral motion, which in turn causes the slide plate to slide within the slide block. This changes the distance between the two suction tubes, allowing for liquid transfer between two containers with different distances. Furthermore, the device uses a bidirectional air pump to reverse the suction direction, allowing for alternating suction and discharge of liquid in the two suction tubes, making the liquid transfer more efficient.

[0013] 1. This utility model uses an electric motor to drive the lead screw to rotate and the pressure block to make a threaded motion, which in turn causes the pressure block to move and squeeze the inclined block, which in turn causes the pallet to drive the moving wheel to move up and down in the base, which makes it easy to control the clutch between the base and the ground, and makes the device easy to move while being able to be placed stably after being moved to the designated position.

An opening 26 is provided inside the wedge block 23, and the opening 26 is movably connected to a lead screw 25. The opening 26 prevents interference between the lead screw 25 and the wedge block 23. A motor 24 is fixedly installed at the right end of the base 1. The output end of the motor 24 passes through the base 1 and is rotatably connected to it. The left end of the output end of the motor 24 is fixed. A lead screw 25 is connected to the base 1. The lead screw 25 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A pressure block 27 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 25. The pressure block 27 is slidably connected to the base 1. The lead screw 25 is driven to rotate and the pressure block 27 is driven to make threaded movement by the motor 24. This causes the pressure block 27 to move and press the inclined block 23. This causes the support plate 21 to drive the moving wheel 22 to move up and down in the base 1. This makes it easy to control the clutch between the base 1 and the ground. This makes the device easy to move and can be placed stably after it is moved to the designated position.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The telescopic mechanism 8 includes a slide plate 81, which is slidably connected to the inside of the slide base 7. The slide plate 81 is fixedly connected to the suction tube 9. A slider 82 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide plate 81. A support plate 83 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide base 7. A servo motor 84 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the support plate 83. The drive shaft of the servo motor 84 passes through the support plate 83 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 83. A bidirectional screw 85 is threadedly connected to the slider 82. The slider 82 is slidably connected to the slide base 7. The bidirectional screw 85 drives the slider 82 to move. The right end of the drive shaft of the servo motor 84 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 85. The bidirectional screw 85 is rotatably connected to the support plate 83. A mounting plate 86 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide base 7. The mounting plate 86 is rotatably connected to the bidirectional screw 85. A bidirectional air pump 87 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate 86. A fixed tube 88 is fixedly connected to the output end of the bidirectional air pump 87. A sliding tube 89 is slidably connected inside the fixed tube 88. The fixed tube 88 and the suction tube 9 are fixedly connected.

The lower end of the fixed plate 810 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 811. The outside of the sliding rod 811 is slidably connected to a sealing block 812. The sealing block 812 is slidably connected to the suction tube 9. A spring 813 is set on the outside of the sliding rod 811.

By setting the spring 813, the sealing plate 812 can be easily reset. The servo motor 84 drives the bidirectional screw 85 to rotate and the slider 82 to make threaded movement, thereby making the slide plate 81 slide in the slide seat 7, thereby changing the distance between the two suction tubes 9. Liquid can be transferred between two containers with different distances. The bidirectional air pump 87 reverses the suction, thereby making the two suction tubes 9 alternately suck and drain liquid, making the device more efficient in liquid transfer.
[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the motor 24 is started, driving the lead screw 25 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 25 and the pressure block 27 perform a threaded motion, causing the pressure block 27 to move and press the inclined block 23, causing the inclined block 23 to move downwards. This causes the support plate 21 to drive the moving wheel 22 to move within the base 1, facilitating the separation of the base 1 from the ground and making the device easy to move. After the device moves to the designated position, the motor 24 is started in reverse, allowing the moving wheel 22 to enter the base 1, making the base 1 contact the ground. This allows the device to be stably placed after moving to the designated position. The servo motor 84 is then started, driving the bidirectional screw 85 to rotate and the slider 82 to perform a threaded motion, causing the slide plate 81 to move within the slide base 7. The sliding mechanism changes the distance between the two suction tubes 9, allowing for liquid transfer between two containers with different distances. Activating the bidirectional air pump 87 increases the air pressure in one suction tube 9 and decreases it in the other. The suction tube 9 with the decreased air pressure can then draw in the solution. The cylinder drives the column 4 to move, and the motor 6 drives the slide block 7 to rotate, enabling liquid transfer. The servo motor 84 drives the bidirectional screw 85 to rotate and the slider 82 to perform a spiral motion, causing the slide plate 81 to slide within the slide block 7. This changes the distance between the two suction tubes 9, allowing for liquid transfer between two containers with different distances. Furthermore, the bidirectional air pump 87 reverses the suction direction, causing the two suction tubes 9 to alternately draw and discharge liquid, making the device more efficient for liquid transfer.
