Abstract

Disclosed aspects relate to a conveyance system and method for conveying a plurality of object carriers. The conveyance system comprises at least one first conveyor lane section, and at least two second conveyor lane sections. The conveyance system further comprises a rotatabte diverting element for diverting an object carrier of the plurality of object carriers between the at least one first conveyor lane section and one of the at least two second conveyor lane sections of the conveyance system. The diverting element comprises at least one sensor element for detecting the object carrier whenthe object carrier is: being conveyed toward the diverting element, or contacting the diverting element, or being transported away from the diverting element by the conveyance system, The conveyance system further comprises an axis of rotation adjacent to the first conveyor lane section and one of the second conveyor lane sections. The axis of rotation may be between two conveyor lanes, one of which includes the first conveyor lane section and the other of which includes one of the second conveyor lane sections. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to a direction of conveyance of the first conveyor lane section and / or the two second conveyor lane sections.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field of the application is transfer equipment for moving material from one location to another. Such equipment is often referred to as a conveyor system or conveying system. More specifically, aspects of the present application relate to conveying multiple object carriers. The delivery system discussed in this application may be particularly suitable for delivery of chemical objects, medical objects or laboratory objects. For example, an object may be a tube containing a sample. A sample may be in fluid form and may contain substances such as blood or other bodily fluids. In particular, the disclosed delivery system may be used in medical laboratories to transport samples from one station to another. Background technique [0002] The conveyor system may include multiple conveyor lanes, and each conveyor lane may have multiple conveyor lane segments. It may be desirable to move object carriers from the first conveyor lane segment to ...
