But this medical pneumatic pipeline logistics transmission system has the following limitations or hidden dangers: 1. The theoretical transmission speed is fast, and the actual comprehensive operation efficiency is not high; the theoretical delivery speed of the system can reach 6-8 meters per second, and the pneumatic pipeline logistics transmission system The working principle is to use
compressed air as the power to transport the transport
bottle containing the items through a special pipeline. The prerequisite is that the pipeline and the mouth of the transport
bottle must be sealed, that is, when a transport
bottle is transported in a section of the pipeline. The other ports of the pipeline must be sealed tightly. If other transmission bottles pass through this section of the pipeline, they must wait for the transmission bottles in transit to pass through before they can pass one by one. They cannot be sent in parallel. As far as the system is concerned, a large amount of
waiting time for transportation is added, and its overall transmission efficiency is very low. Especially when the transportation volume of the
station increases, the more bottles need to be transported, the lower the system transportation efficiency will be.
2. The transport bottle of the system needs to ensure the airtightness of the transportation, so it is designed as a cylinder, and because the power of the
compressed air is limited, the volume of the transport bottle and the weight of the items that can be transported are limited. At present, the medical pneumatic pipeline The logistics transmission system can only transport items with a weight of 5kg or less. If according to the requirements of use, considering the space occupied by auxiliary materials such as anti-damage and directional packaging of the items in the transmission bottle, the
actual weight of the medical supplies that can be sent in the transmission bottle is far less than 5kg. , the logistics needs of the hospital to transport several tons or even dozens of tons of medical materials every day are tantamount to a drop in the bucket; in addition, because the volume of the transmission bottle is very limited, there are few categories that can cover the transmission of hospital medical materials, which further limits the The overall effectiveness of the system
3. The pneumatic transmission system still has certain risks in the transportation of blood samples and other laboratory samples; blood samples and other laboratory samples have certain requirements for transportation conditions due to their particularity. If the transportation is improper, the concentration of the sample components will change, which will affect the
laboratory results. great influence
Defects when the pneumatic transmission system transports such items: 1). Due to the limitation of volume and shape, the gravity rotation level (a device that keeps the
test tube horizontal and stable with the
horizon during transportation) cannot be used for the transport bottle, It is inevitable that the
test sample will be turned over in the
test tube during transportation
2). The characteristic of the pneumatic pipeline logistics transmission system is that the transmission speed of a single transmission bottle is fast, but the speed is the most taboo when transporting blood and other samples, and there will be severe vibration during the transportation, especially when the pipeline bends, the speed of the transmission bottle will be faster. The faster the
centrifuge, the greater the centrifugal effect, and at the same time, the sharper the turn and the more violent the vibration, the change of the
sample composition will directly affect the test results of blood and other samples.
The problems of this kind of medical box-type logistics transportation structure are: 1. Its vertical transportation equipment still adopts the more traditional traction
elevator lifting mode, and the
operating speed is relatively slow. Generally, the vertical lifting speed is 1.5m / s-1.8m / s; , in a logistics shaft, when there is a turnover box lifting operation, other floor logistics stations connected to the logistics shaft, even if there is a turnover box sending task, must wait for the vertical conveying equipment in the logistics shaft to deliver the current sending task to the designated The next distribution task can only be carried out after the logistics
station on the floor. The lifting and handling mode of one well and one object is similar to the serial
operation mode of pneumatic pipeline logistics; in addition, the
overall efficiency is not high due to the
bottleneck of vertical transmission of one well and one object
2. Although the volume of the turnover box adopted is larger than that of the pneumatic transfer bottle and the rail trolley, it still cannot meet the needs of inpatients in the hospital, such as clothes, meals, and large infusions, etc. Transmission and handling needs
