[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. This utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic sample feeding device for sample cups 311 in an oil spectrometer includes: a housing 100, a first connecting frame 200, a placement frame 300, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and a transfer mechanism; the housing 100 has an internal cavity 101, and an opening 102 is provided on the side wall of the housing 100, the opening 102 communicating with the cavity 101; the first connecting frame 200 is disposed on the side wall of the cavity 101, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are both disposed on the first connecting frame 200, the first driving mechanism is used to drive the placement frame 300, a plurality of placement seats 310 are movably placed on the placement frame 300, each placement seat 310 can hold a plurality of sample cups 311, the second driving mechanism is used to drive any one of the placement seats 310; the transfer mechanism is disposed on the side wall of the cavity 101, and the transfer mechanism is used to transfer any one of the sample cups 311.
[0026] Specifically, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving motor 410, a first lead screw 420, and a first slider 430. The first driving motor 410 is disposed on the first connecting frame 200, and the output shaft of the first driving motor 410 is connected to the first lead screw 420. The first slider 430 is slidably disposed on the first lead screw 420, and the placement frame 300 is disposed on the first slider 430. The second driving mechanism includes a second drive motor 510, a second lead screw 520, a second slider 530, a insert plate 540, an adjusting wheel 550, and a moving block 560. The second drive motor 510 is mounted on the first connecting frame 200, and the output shaft of the second drive motor 510 is connected to the second lead screw 520. The second slider 530 is slidably mounted on the second lead screw 520, the moving block 560 is slidably mounted on the second slider 530, the insert plate 540 is mounted on the moving block 560, and the adjusting wheel 550 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting frame 200 and is used to adjust the position of the moving block 560. Each placement seat 310 has a slot, and the insert plate 540 is movably inserted into any of the slots. A limiting block 541 is rotatably mounted on the insert plate 540, and a limiting groove 542 is provided on the limiting block 541. A limiting block 543 is protruding from the insert plate 540, and the limiting block 543 is movably located within the limiting groove 542. A spring is provided on the moving block 560, and the spring is connected to the insert plate 540.
[0027] In one embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes a second connecting frame 610, a third drive motor 620, a drive base 630, a gripper 640, and an identifier 650. The second connecting frame 610 is disposed on the side wall of the cavity 101, the third drive motor 620 is disposed on the second connecting frame 610 and is used to drive the drive base 630, the gripper 640 is disposed on the drive base 630, and the identifier 650 is disposed on the second connecting frame 610. Further, each sample cup 311 has a QR code at its bottom, and the identifier 650 is used to identify any of the QR codes. It is worth noting that the gripper 640 is a clamp cylinder, and the identifier 650 is a barcode scanner.
[0028] In other words, this sample cup 311 automatic sample feeding device needs to be used with an external oil spectrometer. That is, the housing 100 can be rotatably mounted on the external oil spectrometer, and all the wires are electrically connected to the oil spectrometer to ensure that the entire device can operate normally.
[0029] In use, the output shaft of the second drive motor 510 rotates, driving the second lead screw 520 to rotate, which in turn causes the second slider 530 to slide, that is, to move the moving block 560 towards the adjusting wheel 550. Finally, the limiting block 541 on the insert plate 540 will abut against the adjusting wheel 550. Then, as the moving block 560 continues to move under the drive of the second lead screw 520, since the limiting block 541 can no longer move laterally after abutting against the adjusting wheel 550, but the limiting block 541 is rotatably set on the insert plate 540, it can only rotate, that is, it gives a force to the entire insert plate 540, causing the entire insert plate 540 to move away from the placement rack 300. At this time, the entire insert plate 540 will compress the spring, causing it to deform. Meanwhile, the staff can select a placement seat 310 on the placement rack 300 according to specific needs, so that this placement seat 310 and the insertion plate 540 are on the same horizontal plane. That is, the output shaft of the first drive motor 410 rotates, driving the first lead screw 420 to rotate, which in turn drives the first slider 430 to slide up and down, thus moving the placement rack 300 up and down, adjusting the vertical position of the placement rack 300 according to specific needs. In other words, after adjustment, the selected placement seat 310 and the insertion plate 540 are on the same horizontal plane. At this time, the second drive motor 510 reverses, causing the moving block 560 to start moving away from the adjusting wheel 550, so that the adjusting wheel 550 will not eventually abut against the limit block 541. Then, because the spring needs to return to its initial position, it will push the insertion plate 540 to move closer to the placement rack 300, and then the insertion plate 540 will be inserted into the socket. Then, the placement seat 310 corresponding to the insertion port of the insertion plate 540 will also move, that is, the placement seat 310 will move outward from the placement rack 300. At this time, the third drive motor 620 is started, and the third drive motor 620 drives the drive seat 630 to rotate, so that the clamp 640 located above can move towards the sample cup 311 placed on the placement seat 310. The clamp 640 clamps the sample cup 311 and continues to rotate until the sample cup 311 is above the identifier 650. That is, by scanning the QR code below the sample cup 311 by the identifier 650, the control system of the oil spectrometer will automatically obtain all the information of the sample contained in the sample cup 311. After the scan is completed, the third drive motor 620 reverses, driving the entire clamp 640 to move the sample cup 311 towards the oil spectrometer, and finally move it to the detection position to conduct experimental detection on the sample in the sample cup 311.
[0030] After the test is completed, simply clamp the sample cup 311 back onto the placement seat 310 and put it down. Then, repeat the above steps as needed to test the next sample cup 311.
[0031] In summary, the above embodiments are not limiting embodiments of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art based on the substantive content of this utility model are within the technical scope of this utility model.
