[0015] 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. 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0017] Example 1: An automatic spotting and positioning device for thin-layer chromatography plates includes a threaded cylinder 1 and a mounting frame 2. First grooves 8 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 2. An electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 2. A mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9. Slide rods 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 10. A second groove 12 is formed on the side of the mounting plate 10 away from the electric telescopic rod 9. A stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 10 via a bracket. A gear 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 13. A rack plate 15 is meshed with the lower end of the gear 14. A sliding plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the rack plate 15 closest to the second groove 12. The sliding plate 16 is slidably connected within the second groove 12, and the lower end of the rack plate 15 is fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 1. The slide rods 11 extend into the first groove 8 from the side away from the mounting plate 10, and are slidably connected within the first groove 8.

[0018] In use, when it is necessary to position moving points in different directions, the electric telescopic rod 9 is started by an external power source. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 pushes the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 moves stably under the force and with the sliding limit action of the first sliding groove 8 and the sliding rod 11, thereby adjusting the position in the first direction. At the same time, the stepper motor 13 is started by an external power source. The output end of the stepper motor 13 drives the gear 14 to rotate. When the gear 14 rotates, it meshes and drives the rack plate 15. The rack plate 15 moves in the second direction under the force and with the sliding limit action of the second sliding groove 12 and the sliding plate 16, thereby adjusting the positioning of the moving points in different directions.

[0019] Example 2: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 1, is as follows: the end of the threaded cylinder 1 away from the opening is fixedly connected to the first magnetic block 3, the lower end of the first magnetic block 3 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic block 4, the lower end of the second magnetic block 4 is rotatably connected to the elastic telescopic rod 5 through a bearing, the output end of the elastic telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the screw 6, the screw 6 is threaded inside the threaded cylinder 1, and the lower end of the screw 6 is fixedly connected to the sampling head 7.

[0020] When using the sample head 7, first insert the screw 6 into the threaded cylinder 1 through the sample head 7. When the screw 6 rises, it drives the second magnetic block 4 to magnetically connect to the first magnetic block 3 through the elastic telescopic rod 5, thereby initially limiting the position of the sample head 7. At this time, rotate the screw 6. Under the threaded fastening action of the screw 6 and the threaded cylinder 1, the screw 6 rises continuously through the thread. When the screw 6 is inside the threaded cylinder 1, it continuously compresses the elastic telescopic rod 5 under the action of the bearing, thereby quickly limiting the position of the sample head 7 for installation and use.

[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art 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 appended claims and their equivalents.
