Device and method for preparing test tubes

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for preparing test tubes. The device is divided into an upper area, a middle area and a lower area as a whole, comprises a label adhesion mechanism on an upper part, a test tube recovery mechanism on a middle part and a test tube storage mechanism on a lower part, and has the functions of automatically conveying the test tubes, adhering labels, and recovering the test tubes, wherein the test tubes adhered with the labels fall onto the middle part from the upper part, and are stored in trays of the test tube recovery mechanism on the middle part; the test tube of one patient is stored in each tray, thus avoiding disorder of the test tubes; meanwhile, and the trays are located on the middle part of the device for preparing the test tubes, and proper in heights; and moreover, the device for preparing the test tubes is narrow, occupies less space, and has a small gap with a blood sampling working platform, thus facilitating blood sampling personnel to take the trays and facilitating operations.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a method and device for automatically transporting test tubes, affixing labels and recovering test tubes. Background technique [0002] Blood testing is a routine method for medical diagnosis of diseases. Usually, in hospitals, clinics and some medical-related institutions, blood collection personnel first collect blood from the testing personnel, then collect the blood into test tubes, and then put the blood collected in the test tubes. Take it out, collect it in a tray, and send it to the blood test. In the blood test, a patient will usually perform multiple tests at the same time. Depending on the blood test items, many types of test tubes need to be prepared. At the same time, in order to cope with multiple patients, it is necessary to affix a label with patient information, examination items, etc. to the test tube. During the peak period of medical treatment, there are many ...

Problems solved by technology

However, it only has the function of test tube transmission, and cannot integrate and automate the functions of test tube storage, labeling, and recycling.

CN104691880 discloses an automatic loading and unloading test tube labeling machine, which has a feeding mechanism, a labeling mechanism and an unloading cabin to realize automatic loading and unloading of the test tubes. The test tubes enter the runner along the ramp of the loading cabin, and then Enter the labeling mechanism, and then fall into the unloading compartment. However, the test tube loading compartment and unloading compartment only have one space, and the blood collection test tubes of different patients cannot be managed in separate compartments, and the tray cannot be automatically circulated after the test tube leaves the unloading compartment. The convenience is poor, and the device takes up a lot of space, and it is inconvenient to take the test tube
