Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical detection equipment, and in particular relates to a novel automatic cup arrangement system. Background Art

[0002] When the reaction cups are placed in the cup stacking bucket, they are placed in a messy manner. When used later, the reaction cup body needs to be upright with the cup mouth facing upward. If they are stacked manually, the efficiency is low and the reaction cups are easily contaminated. Therefore, an automatic cup stacking system is needed to achieve the required functions and improve efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a new automatic cup arrangement system to realize the verticality of the cup body of the reaction cup and ensure that the cup mouth faces upward, ensure the convenience of subsequent use, improve efficiency, prevent pollution, reduce the cup jam rate, and make the operation simple and easy to control.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0005] A novel automatic cup arrangement system comprises a cup arrangement bucket, a feeding structure, a feeding structure and a cup arrangement structure with a blocking material; the cup arrangement bucket, the feeding structure, the feeding structure and the cup arrangement structure with a blocking material are all arranged on a bottom plate.

[0006] A discharge port is provided at the upper end of the cup row bucket, and a loading conveyor belt is provided between the bottom of the cup row bucket and the discharge port. A discharge structure is connected to the outer side of the discharge port. The discharge structure is a discharge chute inclined from top to bottom. A material blocking cup row structure is provided in the middle of the discharge structure. The material blocking cup row structure includes cup blocking brackets located on both sides of the discharge chute and arranged perpendicularly to the discharge chute.

[0007] Furthermore, the material blocking and cup rowing structure includes a cup blocking bracket, a sliding plate and a motor. The motor is horizontally arranged, and the output end of the motor is connected to a gear. A rack is arranged under the gear, and the rack is fixedly connected to the sliding plate. A linear slide rail is arranged under the sliding plate, and two cup blocking brackets are arranged on the sliding plate. The cup blocking brackets are respectively located on both sides of the material discharge slide. The cup blocking brackets reciprocate perpendicular to the material discharge slide driven by the motor. The upper ends of the cup blocking brackets are located on the material discharge slide and the interval between them is greater than the diameter of a reaction cup and less than the diameter of 1.3 reaction cups.

[0008] Furthermore, the material unloading structure includes a material unloading chute and a material unloading baffle. The bottom end of the material unloading chute has a horizontal portion, the front end of the horizontal portion has a material baffle, the material unloading baffle is located on both sides of the material unloading chute, two groups of through holes are arranged on the material unloading baffle, and the upper ends of the two baffle cup brackets can pass through the through holes. A groove is arranged on the material unloading chute, and the width of the groove is greater than the diameter of the lower part of the reaction cup and smaller than the diameter of the baffle ring of the reaction cup.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the cup stopper bracket is fixedly arranged on the sliding plate, and the upper end of the cup stopper bracket is a baffle plate, which is perpendicular to the unloading slideway.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding structure includes a feeding conveyor belt and a driving structure, the driving structure drives the feeding conveyor belt to rotate, and partitions perpendicular to the conveyor belt surface are fixed and spaced apart on the feeding conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the cup holder is funnel-shaped.

[0012] Furthermore, three reflective optical couplers are arranged on the unloading chute, a first reflective optical coupler is arranged at the horizontal part at the bottom end of the unloading chute, a second reflective optical coupler is arranged between the two baffle cup brackets, and a third reflective optical coupler is arranged at the upper end of the unloading chute. A lower computer is also included, and the three reflective optical couplers and the motor are electrically connected to the lower computer.

[0013] The first reflective optical coupler is used to detect whether there is a reaction cup here. When there is no reaction cup, the cup blocking device is started to release a reaction cup. The distance between the second reflective optical coupler and the third reflective optical coupler is the sum of the diameters of ten reaction cups. When the third reflective optical coupler detects that there is no reaction cup, the loading structure is started to transfer the reaction cup. When there is no reaction cup in place for a long time, the second reflective optical coupler determines that there are too few reaction cups in the cup bucket or there are no reaction cups. The reflective optical coupler is connected to the alarm, and the system alarms.

[0014] Reflective optocoupler: Use model LA201, but not limited to this model.

[0015] Optocoupler: The selected model is TP805, but it is not limited to this model.

[0017] The reaction cup is placed in the cup bucket, rises along the partition on the feeding conveyor belt, and reaches the discharge port. The lower end of the reaction cup is located in the groove, and the retaining ring of the reaction cup is located on the discharge slide.

[0018] The motor drives the rack to reciprocate by gears, and then drives the sliding plate. The sliding plate is provided with a cup holder. The cup holder moves back and forth along the linear slide rail under the drive of the motor. Two opposing optical couplers are provided on the linear slide rail. The opposing optical couplers are connected to the lower computer and are used to determine the reciprocating distance of the cup holder. The upper end of the cup holder passes through the through hole to block the reaction cup. The two cup holders are set at a distance of one reaction cup along the direction of the unloading slide. When the first reaction cup reaches the cup holder, it is stopped by the front cup holder. The sliding plate drives the two cup holders to move to one side of the unloading slide. The first reaction cup reaches between the two cup holders, and the second reaction cup reaches the position of the first reaction cup. The cup holder moves to the other side of the unloading slide. The first reaction cup leaves the cup holder and continues to move down along the unloading slide to the bottom.

[0019] The first reflective optical coupler is used to detect whether there is a reaction cup here. When there is no reaction cup, the cup blocking device is started to release a reaction cup. The distance between the second reflective optical coupler and the third reflective optical coupler is the sum of the diameters of ten reaction cups. When the third reflective optical coupler detects that there is no reaction cup, the loading structure is started to transfer the reaction cup. When there is no reaction cup in place for a long time, the second reflective optical coupler determines that there are too few reaction cups in the cup bucket or there are no reaction cups. The reflective optical coupler is connected to the alarm, and the system alarms.
