Robot sample storage cabinet system

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot sample storage cabinet system. The robot sample storage cabinet system comprises a robot module, more than one docking platform and more than one sample storage module,wherein the docking platforms are used for realizing docking between each sample storage module and external equipment, and the robot module is used for opening or/and closing the sample storage modules, taking and placing sample bottles and driving the sample bottles to circulate between each sample storage module and each docking platform. The robot sample storage cabinet system has the advantages of being simple in structure, simple and convenient to store samples, high in intelligent level, high in space utilization rate, high in adaptability, high in expandability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of sample collection and storage equipment, in particular to a robot sample storage cabinet system. Background technique [0002] For the sampling, processing and analysis of material (such as coal samples, ore) samples, each country has mandatory standards, and sampling, processing, analysis and testing must be carried out in accordance with the standards. The principle of the sample collection and analysis work process is to gradually reduce the particle size and quality of the collected samples on the premise of not destroying the representativeness of the sample, until it meets the requirements of the laboratory test on the particle size and quality (weight) accuracy of the sample. Requirements, and then carry out relevant experimental analysis on the samples that meet the requirements. During this process, there can be no loss of samples, and no physical or chemical changes can occur in the samp...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. The structure is complex, the cost is high, and it is not easy to maintain

Part of the existing sample storage system adopts a single cabinet structure, and the sample storage is realized through the coordinated action of XYZ manipulators. The structure is complex, the cost is high, and the maintainability is poor and the positioning accuracy is low.

[0006] 2. The sample storage control program is complex and the work efficiency is low

Some existing sample storage systems store one or more samples in each bin. If you want to take out the samples on the inside, you need to take out the outer samples one by one and transfer them to other bins, then take out the required samples, and then transfer the transferred samples again. Putting back one by one, the sample taking and placing control process is complicated, the taking and placing path is long, the taking and placing time is long, and the work efficiency is low; at the same time, it is very easy to make mistakes during the sample transfer process

[0007] 3. Storage space utilization is not high

The placement space of some existing sample storage systems is unreasonable, resulting in a small number of samples, low space utilization, and a small number of storage units per unit volume

[0008] 4. The storage method is single, and there are restrictions on samples (sample bottles)

Some existing sample storage systems have relatively fixed structural dimensions of the storage bins, and have limited requirements on the outer diameter of storage vials, resulting in poor adaptability

[0009] 5. The structure is single and the applicability is poor

Some existing sample storage systems use single cabinets placed in a row, which not only leads to a large footprint, but also has poor adaptability to the use and site of the cabinets, which is not conducive to use under changing site conditions

[0010] 6. Single interface with external systems, which is not conducive to individual needs

Some existing sample storage systems are low in intelligence, cannot be smoothly connected with other external equipment, and cannot have the functions of automatic sample loading and unloading and sample disposal at the same time; and do not have the docking interface with the pneumatic transmission system, automatic inspection system, and automatic sample preparation system

[0011] 7. Low modularity

Some existing sample storage systems have a low degree of modularity, and cannot flexibly increase or decrease functional modules according to the actual needs of customers, which cannot well meet the actual needs of customers, increase the cost of use, and reduce market competitiveness

[0012] 8. Low degree of intelligence

Some of the existing sample storage systems are not intelligent enough to complete the inventory of sample information at any time and quickly, and even sampling errors are prone to occur when taking and placing samples, which seriously affects the development of subsequent sample testing work
