The reaction cuvette loading device comprises a transmission mechanism and a push mechanism, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises a baseplate and a first horizontal transmission mechanism provided on the baseplate; the push mechanism comprises a support assembly, a second horizontal transmission mechanism provided on the support assembly, and a push rod connected to the second horizontal transmission mechanism; and the push mechanism further comprises a direction guiding control block comprising a starting end provided at a terminal point of a cuvette pushing stroke of the push rod, a termination end provided at a starting point of the cuvette pushing stroke of the push rod, and a return track provided between the starting end and the termination end and bypassing the cuvette pushing stroke, and the separation distance between the starting end and termination end is not less than one vessel position and not more than two vessel positions.

An automated programmable processor-controlled system and related methods for packaging an agricultural sample such as soil which may be tested for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The packaging system includes a sample packaging apparatus which allows raw bulk sample material collected in the agricultural field to be expediently and conveniently containerized for processing and analysis. The apparatus may include a die block disposed between bulk material and sample collection chambers. A sample blade mechanism inserts a sample blade array through the bulk material chamber and die block. The sample blades extrude the sample material from the bulk material chamber through die slots in the die block, thereby forming plugs or blanks of the material collected in the sample collection chamber coupled to the sample container. A cleaning blade mechanism inserts a cleaning blade array through the die slots after the extrusion for removing residual soil or debris.

The present application discloses a test tube rotating mechanism and a production-line sample conveying system. The test tube rotating mechanism includes: a first rolling structure and a second rolling structure, where the first rolling structure and the second rolling structure are distributed along the conveying direction of a conveying track, each of the outer side surfaces of the first rolling structure and the second rolling structure has a tangent point with the peripheral wall of any test tube holder on the conveying track to limit the movement of the test tube holder, and the rolling of the first rolling structure and the second rolling structure relative to the test tube holder cause the test tube holder to rotate; and a transmission structure, where the transmission structure drives the first rolling structure and the second rolling structure to move away from and approach the conveying track.

A sample rack conveying unit 30 includes a sliding rail plate 53, a presser 66, a first guide plate 55, and a second guide plate 56. The sliding rail plate 53 has a groove portion 71 formed along a track on which a sample rack 90 slides and along which the sample rack 90 is conveyed. The presser 66 passes through the groove portion 71 and presses the sample rack 90. The first guide plate 55 is arranged on an outer side of a curved portion in a radial direction. The second guide plate 56 is arranged on an inner side of the curved portion in the radial direction.

A sample rack moving mechanism is provided for removing a sample rack loaded with one or more sample containers from a temporary storing section, and returning the sample rack loaded with the sample containers holding the tested sample to the temporary storing section. The sample rack moving mechanism may include a drive element, a cam driven by the drive element to rotate and having a curve contour, a cam follower moving following the outer contour of the cam, a guide groove corresponding to the temporary storing section, having a bottom plane of the same height as a support plane of the temporary storing section for supporting the sample rack, and capable of moving the sample rack, and a support element driven by the cam follower to move upward and downward and driving the sample rack to horizontally move between the temporary storing section and the guide groove.
