In the embodiment of the invention, the lock tongue is arranged in the first groove of the driving shaft body, the part of the lock tongue extends out of the first groove under the action of the spring, and the rotor is locked on the driving shaft body in the axial direction; external force exerts horizontal effort to the spring bolt through the second through-hole on the spring bolt for the spring bolt reverse compression spring, the spring bolt is retracted and is reached first recess, and the rotor is followed the unblock on the drive shaft body, and is easy and simple to handle effective, and the reliability is high, has alleviateed experimenter's operation burden, has avoided the condition because of locking not in place emergence incident.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a drive shaft according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a drive shaft according to an embodiment of the present invention. For centrifugation, the tube (not shown) containing the biological sample to be centrifuged is placed in a rotor (not shown) which is then locked to a drive shaft which is rotated to effect centrifugation.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the driving shaft includes a driving shaft body 1, a latch 2, and a spring 3. The outer surface of the drive shaft body 1 includes a cylindrical surface 13 and a truncated conical surface 14. A first groove 11 is formed in the side face and the cylindrical surface 13 of the driving shaft body 1, and the bolt 2 and the spring 3 are accommodated in the first groove 11. The two ends of the spring 3 are respectively connected with the inner wall of the driving shaft body 1 and the bolt 2. Alternatively, it may be an adhesive fixed connection. When no external force is applied, the bolt 2 partially extends out of the first groove 11 under the action of the spring 3 to clamp the rotor matched with the driving shaft, the cylindrical surface 13 is positioned between the bolt 2 and the truncated cone surface 14, and the bolt 2 and the truncated cone surface 14 lock the rotor on the driving shaft body 1 in the axial direction. In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the bolt 2 extending out of the first groove 11 is configured as an arc surface or an inclined surface. The central shaft of rotor is overlapped on the drive shaft by the experimenter, and when the rotor contacted with this cambered surface or inclined plane, its gravity reversely pressed the spring bolt 2 back to first recess 11, in the drive shaft got into the central shaft of rotor, when the spring bolt 2 stretched out first recess 11 again under the effect of spring 3 and got into the recess of rotor central shaft, can send "clatter"'s locking prompt tone, showed that rotor and drive shaft have been in the locking state. The locking operation is simple, convenient and effective, and the experimenter is not easy to miss or neglect in the operation.

However, the projections of the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 21 in the axial direction of the drive shaft body 1 at least partially overlap in the range of movement. Preferably, the axis of the first through hole 12 passes through the second through hole 21 when the rotor and the drive shaft are locked. External force transversely acts on the bolt 2 through the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 21, and the bolt 2 reversely compresses the spring 3 under the action of the external force and retracts to the first groove 11.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the movement of the bolt 2 to extend out of the first groove 11 and retract into the first groove 11 is a translational movement. The bolt 2 partially translates and extends out of the first groove 11 under the action of the spring 3; the spring 3 is reversely compressed under the action of external force, and is horizontally retracted to the first groove 11, so that the whole structure is simple, and the requirement on the processing precision of parts is not high.

The spring 3 is arranged to remain in compression in the locked condition of the rotor and the drive shaft so that the extent to which the bolt 2 protrudes out of the first recess 11 is determined by the difference in diameter between the first pin 4 and the third through hole 22. When the bolt 2 stretches out of the first groove 11 to lock the rotor, the spring 3 still provides large locking force, so that the bolt 2 is not easy to reversely compress the spring 3 due to centrifugal operation after clamping the rotor, and mistaken unlocking is caused. Meanwhile, only the spring 3 needs to be placed between the inner wall of the driving shaft body 1 and the bolt 2, and the installation of the spring 3 is simplified.
In an embodiment of the invention, the drive shaft further comprises a second pin 5 fixed to the drive shaft body 1. The second pin 5 and the first pin 4 are uniformly arranged about the axis of the drive shaft body 1. The first pin 4 and the second pin 5 protrude from the top surface of the drive shaft body 1. When the rotor is locked to the driving shaft, the first pin 4 and the second pin 5 are inserted into the grooves in the top of the central shaft of the rotor, so that the rotor and the driving shaft are prevented from moving relatively, the rotor and the driving shaft can be guaranteed to rotate integrally, and the positioning of the rotating direction is guaranteed.
