[0040] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this invention easier to understand, specific embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0041] The following description includes many specific details to fully understand the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can disseminate it in a similar manner without contradicting the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0042] Furthermore, in this specification, “an embodiment” or “an embodiment” means a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. “In an embodiment” found elsewhere in this specification does not mean that all embodiments are identical, nor does it mean that one embodiment alone is an exclusive or alternative embodiment to any other embodiment.

[0043] <Example 1> Referring to Figures 1-3, a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes an upper chamber 1, a push-up moving unit 2, and a docking unit 3, and provides a mobile upper chamber that can receive an intermediate tank by the docking unit 3 and dock it to the upper chamber 1, and can move the upper chamber 1 by the push-up moving unit 2 and dock it to a target storage tank.

[0044] Specifically, it includes an upper chamber 1, a thrusting movement unit 2, and a docking unit 3. The docking unit 3 is located below the upper chamber 1, and the docking unit 3 can receive a relay tank and dock it with the upper chamber 1. The thrusting movement unit 2 can thrust the upper chamber 1 upwards and move it.

[0045] As described above, in this invention, the intermediate tank is placed on the docking unit 3, the docking unit 3 moves the intermediate tank to dock it with the upper chamber 1, the upper chamber 1 is pushed up by the thrusting movement unit 2, then moved above the target storage tank, and then lowered to dock with the storage tank, thereby greatly improving docking efficiency.

[0046] <Example 2> Referring to Figures 1 to 7, a second embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which the movable upper chamber includes an upper chamber 1, a push-up moving unit 2, and a docking unit 3, the docking unit 3 can receive an intermediate tank and dock it with the upper chamber 1, and the push-up moving unit 2 can move the upper chamber 1 and dock it with the target storage tank.

[0047] Specifically, it includes an upper chamber 1, a thrusting movement unit 2, and a docking unit 3. The docking unit 3 is located below the upper chamber 1, and the docking unit 3 can receive a relay tank and dock it with the upper chamber 1. The thrusting movement unit 2 can thrust up and move the upper chamber 1.

[0048] Furthermore, the thrusting and moving unit 2 includes a thrusting member 21 and a moving member 22, the thrusting member 21 being able to raise and lower the upper chamber 1, and the moving member 22 being able to drive the thrusting member 21 to move.

[0049] Furthermore, the thrust member 21 includes a lifting plate 2101, a first kinetic energy panel 2102, a second kinetic energy panel 2103, and an inclined slide track 2104. The first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 are movable relative to each other, the first kinetic energy panel 2102 is provided with an A-inclined slide track 21041, and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 is provided with a B-inclined slide track 21042, and the A-inclined slide track 21041 and the B-inclined slide track 21042 are symmetrical. The A-slide push-up frame 2107 is slidably mounted on the A-slide slide track 21041, and the B-slide push-up frame 2108 is slidably mounted on the B-slide slide track 21042. The upper ends of the A-slide push-up frame 2107 and the B-slide push-up frame 2108 are connected to the lifting plate 2101, respectively.

[0050] Preferably, the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 are movable relative to each other. In this embodiment, by moving opposite or in the opposite direction, the distance between the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 increases or decreases. This structure ensures that the pushing member 21 does not obstruct the movement of the upper chamber 1 in the pushing action and non-pushing state. Furthermore, the space occupied by the structure is small in the vertical and horizontal directions, resulting in high stability and flexibility, and making it more suitable for docking the upper chamber 1 to a storage tank when storing samples.

[0051] Preferably, the movement of the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 shortens or lengthens the distance between the two panels, thereby shortening or lengthening the distance between the A-inclined slide track 21041 and the B-inclined slide track 21042 provided on them, thereby causing the A-slide push-up frame 2107 and the B-slide push-up frame 2108 to slide simultaneously from the highest point to the lowest point or from the lowest point to the highest point of the A-inclined slide track 21041 and the B-inclined slide track 21042, respectively, thereby achieving the raising or lowering of the lifting plate 2101.

[0052] Furthermore, the thrusting member further includes a lifting drive motor 2109 and a screw 2110, with a first kinetic energy panel 2102 and a second kinetic energy panel 2103 provided at both ends of the screw 2110 and both screw-connected to the screw, and the lifting drive motor 2109 drives the screw 2110.

[0053] Preferably, the screw 2110 is provided with left-hand and right-hand threads, and is screw-connected to the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103, respectively. By rotating the screw 2110 in this way, the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 are driven to move in opposition or opposite directions. The first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 may be elongated in shape, but of course, they may also be of other shapes.

[0054] Furthermore, the thrusting member 21 further includes a thrusting base plate 2111 and parallel sliding claws 2112, and the lifting plate 2101, the first kinetic energy panel 2102, the second kinetic energy panel 2103, and the inclined sliding track 2104 are all provided on the thrusting base plate 2111, and a plurality of parallel sliding claws 2112 extend downward from the lower end of the thrusting base plate 2111, and the parallel sliding claws 2112 are slidably provided on the moving member 22.

[0057] When thrusting upward, the lifting drive motor 2109 rotates the screw 2110, and the screw 2110 moves the first kinetic energy panel 2102 and the second kinetic energy panel 2103 in opposite directions. Because the inclined slide track 2104 is inclined, the A slide thrust frame 2107 and the B slide thrust frame 2108 are driven to move upward along the A inclined slide track 21041 and the B inclined slide track 21042, respectively. As a result, the lifting plate 2101 is driven to move upward, and the lifting plate 2101 thrusts upward against the bracket located below the upper chamber 1, thereby thrusting up the upper chamber 1.

[0058] The means by which the lifting plate 2101 is pushed up may be changed to other structures. For example, the lifting plate 2101 can be driven to move up and down directly by a lifting motor, or it can be moved up and down by other methods, as long as the lifting plate 2101 can be moved up and down to push up the upper chamber 1.

[0059] Furthermore, the moving member 22 includes a slide rail 221, a position sensor 222, and a drive member 223.

[0061] Preferably, the lifting plate 2101 pushes up the upper chamber 1 and then moves the upper chamber 1, and the specific steps are as follows: The drive motor 22301 rotates the gear 22302 located below it, and when the gear 22302 engages with the gear plate, the motor plate and the parallel sliding claws 2112 at the bottom of the push-up bottom plate 2111 are driven to move along the slide rail 221, and the push-up bottom plate 2111 drives the lifting plate 2101 and the upper chamber 1 to move, thereby moving the upper chamber 1 above the target storage tank.
