[0055] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 - 30 The present invention provides a cascade sample rack transmission device, including: a bottom plate 10, a support plate 11 arranged above the bottom plate 10, a turning component 4, a sample loading component 5, a feeding component 6, a sample discharging component 7, a cascade conveying component 8, a sample rack detection system, a first information reading component 12, and a second information reading component 13; the support plate 11 is divided into: a sample loading area 14, a sample discharging area 15, a feeding area 16, and a cascade conveying area, and the cascade conveying area is divided into: a transition area 17, a front area 18, a middle area 19, and a rear area 20, and the transition area 17, the front area 18, the middle area 19, and the rear area 20 are connected in sequence; the sample loading area 14 is arranged on one side of the front area 18, the feeding area 16 is arranged on one side of the sample discharging area 15, and the sample discharging area 15 is arranged on one side of the rear area 20; a plurality of first movable slots 21 are arranged in the cascade conveying area, a plurality of first movable paddles 22 are arranged on the cascade conveying component 8, and the first movable paddles 22 pass through the first movable slots 21; a plurality of second movable slots 23 are arranged in the sample loading area 14, a plurality of second movable paddles 24 are arranged on the sample loading component 5, and the second movable paddles 24 pass through the second movable slots 23; a plurality of third movable slots 25 are arranged in the feeding area 16, a plurality of third movable paddles 26 are arranged on the feeding component 6, and the third movable paddles 26 pass through the third movable slots 25; a plurality of fourth movable slots 27 are arranged in the sample discharging area 15, a plurality of fourth movable paddles 28 are arranged on the sample discharging component 7, and the fourth movable paddles 28 pass through the fourth movable slots 27; the first information reading component 12 is arranged on one side of the sample loading area 14, and the second information reading component 13 is arranged on one side of the feeding area 16; the front area 18 is arranged between the turning component 4 and the sample loading area 14.

[0057] When the sample rack 90 transported by the upper-level instrument runs to the transition area 17 of the cascaded conveying area, it will be detected by the sample rack detection system, and then the first information reading component 12 is activated to read the information of the sample rack 90. At the same time, the cascaded transportation component starts to convey the sample rack 90 to the left until it reaches the front area 18, and the sample rack 90 will also be detected by the sample rack detection system; at this time, it is judged whether the sample carried by the sample rack 90 needs to enter this machine for testing according to the information of the sample rack 90 fed back by the first information reading component 12. If it needs to enter this machine for testing, the cascaded conveying component 8 is stopped. At the same time, it is judged whether there is a vacant position for loading the sample rack in the sample injection area 14I according to the information fed back by the sample rack detection system. If there is a vacant position, the turning component 4 is activated to turn the sample rack 90 in the front area 18 to the sample injection area 14. Otherwise, it waits until there is a vacant position for loading the sample rack in the sample injection area 14 and then the turning component 4 is activated to turn the sample rack 90 in the front area 18 to the sample injection area 14 (during the waiting process, the upper-level instrument will no longer transmit new sample racks 90 into this machine); if it is judged according to the information of the sample rack 90 fed back by the first information reading component 12 that the sample carried by the sample rack 90 does not need to enter this machine for testing, the cascaded conveying component 8 continues to convey the sample rack 90 to the left until the sample rack 90 enters the lower-level instrument. After the sample rack 90 enters the sample injection area 14, the sample injection component 5 pushes the sample rack 90 to a suitable vacant position according to the vacant position situation of the sample rack in the sample injection area 14 fed back by the sample rack detection system. If the sample rack detection system detects the sample rack 90 at the innermost side of the sample injection area 14, the feeding component 6 is driven to feed horizontally to the left to convey the sample rack 90 to the feeding area 16 for the main machine to perform operations such as shaking, puncturing, and sampling on the sample on the sample rack 90. When the sample rack 90 enters the innermost side of the sample output area 15 and is detected by the sample detection system, the sample output component 7 pushes the sample rack 90 to a suitable vacant position according to the detection of whether there is a vacant position for the sample rack in the sample output area 15 and the rear area 20 by the sample rack detection system. If there is no suitable vacant position, the feeding component 6 stops feeding new sample racks 90, and at the same time the lower-level instrument continues to run until the cascaded conveying component 8 empties the rear area 20 for the sample output component 7 to push out the currently waiting sample rack 90. During the process of the cascaded conveying component 8 emptying the sample racks 90 in the cascaded area, if the sample rack 90 entering the front area 18 is judged by the first information reading component 12 that the sample rack 90 needs to enter the sample injection area 14 for testing, the turning component 4 is allowed to turn the sample rack 90 to the sample injection area 14 and then continue to execute the process of emptying the sample racks 90 in the rear area 20.

[0058] The turning component 4 includes: a turning drive mechanism and a turning transmission mechanism; the turning drive mechanism mainly includes: a motor mounting plate 29 mounted on the base plate 10, a turning motor 30 mounted on the motor mounting plate 29, and a turning belt pulley 31 connected to the output shaft of the turning motor 30; the turning transmission mechanism includes: a rotating shaft fixing plate 32 mounted on the base plate 10, a turning rotating shaft 33 mounted on the rotating shaft fixing plate 32, and a turning block 34 fixedly connected to the turning rotating shaft 33; the turning belt pulley 31 drives the turning rotating shaft 33 to rotate through a belt.

[0059] When the turning motor 30 operates, it drives the turning belt pulley 31 to rotate, thereby driving the turning rotating shaft 33 to rotate, and then driving the turning block 34 to rotate, so that the sample rack 90 in the front area 18 can be pushed to the sampling area 14.

[0060] The turning transmission mechanism further includes: a turning optocoupler bracket 35 mounted on the rotating shaft fixing plate 32, a turning optocoupler sensor 36 mounted on the turning optocoupler bracket 35, and a turning optocoupler stop piece 37 fixedly connected to the turning block 34; the turning optocoupler bracket 35 is provided with a limiting edge 38 that limits the rotation of the turning block 34 within a range of 90 degrees, and the moving range of the turning optocoupler stop piece 37 overlaps with the sensing area of the turning optocoupler sensor 36.

[0061] Therefore, the turning optocoupler sensor 36 also obtains the position of the turning block 34 by sensing the turning optocoupler stop piece 37, and the limiting edge 38 is used to limit the rotation range of the turning block 34.
