Abstract

A automated test tube cap removal apparatus includes: a cap remover (11) with a cap removing position (P1) for test tubes (20) contained sample; a test tube rack (19) which holds a plurality of capped test tubes (20) upright in a row, and loads to cap removing position (P1); a clamping mechanism (87) which is disposed in the cap removing position (P1) and clamps the plurality of test tubes (20); and a cap removal unit (112) disposed in the cap removing position (P1) and configured to move upward to remove caps (23) from some of a plurality of test tubes (20) and move upward to remove caps (23) from the remaining test tubes (20), and the caps (23) moves upward in meshing and supporting method for removing caps (23) from other test tubes (20). The cap removal unit includes engaging members (121), a lift mechanism (108), a cap guide member (117).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automated test tube cap removal device for automatically removing caps from test tubes containing samples such as blood. Background technique [0002] In a known device for removing caps from test tubes, for example as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-228379, the cap of each test tube is supported by engaging the distal end of the pull-out arm , in such a way that the test tubes are held in one-to-one correspondence by the test tube holders. Then, by actuating the lift cylinder with the cap supported by engagement, the pull-out arm is raised in the cap-pull-out direction to automatically pull the cap out of the test tube. [0003] The pull-out arm has a cap engaging pawl at its distal end and is configured to, together with the tilt guide, swing the arm supporting the cap around its axis through a predetermined angular range when the arm is pulled upward by the lift cylinder. [0004] Anothe...
