[0038] The following uses specific specific examples to illustrate the implementation manners of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation manners. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 . It should be noted that the diagrams provided in this embodiment only illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner. Therefore, only the components related to the present invention are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components during actual implementation. The types, quantities, and proportions of the components during actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the component layout type may also be more complex.

[0040] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a component for taking and placing consumables with a gyroscopic buckle in the first aspect of the present invention includes a material taking module 1 and a magnetic rod module 2. A consumable connecting element is provided on the material taking module 1. The magnetic rod module 2 includes a magnetic rod array 22. A magnetic rod passing area suitable for all or part of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 to pass through is provided on the material taking module 1.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic rod module 2 is arranged to move linearly up and down through the material taking module 1. Specifically, the inside of the material taking module 1 is hollowed out, and the hollowing is sufficient to accommodate the magnetic rod module 2 to pass through therein. The internal hollowing is the magnetic rod passing area, so that all the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 pass through the magnetic rod passing area.

[0042] In another preferred embodiment, the magnetic rod array 22 in the magnetic rod module 2 is arranged to move linearly up and down through the material taking module 1. Specifically, the interior of the material taking module 1 is hollowed out, and the hollow part accommodates part of the magnetic rod array 22 to pass through it. The interior hollow part is the magnetic rod passing area, enabling some of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 to pass through the magnetic rod passing area.

[0043] The components of this embodiment are applicable to equipment that needs to achieve automatic picking and placing of consumables. Generally, the equipment should include a power mechanism and power elements. The material taking module and the magnetic rod module achieve overall spatial movement through the power mechanism, and relative movement between the material taking module and the magnetic rod module through the power elements.

[0044] A specific implementation manner can be that both the material taking module 1 and the magnetic rod module 2 are sleeved on a connecting column through connecting holes. The connecting column is connected to the moving end of the power mechanism, and the power mechanism drives the material taking module 1 and the magnetic rod module 2 to move together integrally in space. The power mechanism can be a robotic arm, such as the Fanuc M-20iA six-axis hollow wrist robotic arm. Two power element bodies are fixed on the connecting column. The power elements can be reciprocating motors, such as the DGRLT75 closed-loop servo micro electric cylinder produced by Shenzhen Darenren Technology Co., Ltd. The power outputs of the two power elements are respectively connected to the material taking module 1 and the magnetic rod module 2 to drive the material taking module and the magnetic rod module to make relative linear movement.

[0045] When the components of this embodiment are in use, the material taking module 1 and the magnetic rod module 2 are driven by the power mechanism to the upper part of the external consumable together, so that the consumable connecting element of the material taking module 1 is aligned with the connecting fitting of the consumable. Then the power element drives the material taking module 1 to move downward until the consumable connecting element on the material taking module 1 is connected to the connecting fitting of the consumable, completing the action of taking the consumable.

[0046] The consumable that matches the components of this embodiment generally should include a magnetic sleeve array. When the consumable needs to be discarded, the power mechanism moves the material taking module 1 and the consumable to the designated place for abandonment. The material taking module 1 remains stationary or moves upward, and the power element drives the magnetic rod module 2 to move downward and align with the magnetic sleeve array of the consumable. The magnetic rods in the magnetic rod module 2 pass through the magnetic rod passing area of the material taking module 1 and insert into the magnetic sleeve array of the consumable, and continue to move downward until the connecting fitting of the consumable is separated from the consumable connecting element of the material taking module 1 under force, realizing the action of automatically discarding the consumable.

[0047] In one embodiment, the length of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 is 20 - 100 mm, and the diameter is 1 - 10 mm. The implementer selects the length, diameter, and wall thickness of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 according to requirements. For example, the length can be 20 - 30 mm, 30 - 40 mm, 40 - 50 mm, 50 - 60 mm, 60 - 70 mm, 70 - 80 mm, 80 - 90 mm, and 90 - 100 mm. The diameter can be 1 - 2 mm, 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, 5 - 6 mm, 6 - 7 mm, 7 - 8 mm, 8 - 9 mm, and 9 - 10 mm.

[0048] In one embodiment, the sampling module 1 includes a sampling module body. The consumable connecting element includes a cap 14 and a fixing post 15. One end of the fixing post 15 is fixedly connected to the sampling module body, and the other end of the fixing post 15 is fixedly connected to the cap 14.

[0049] In one embodiment, the sampling module body includes a frame 11, and the frame 11 is connected to the consumable connecting element through the fixing post 15.

[0050] In one embodiment, the diameter of the fixing post 15 is 2 - 6 mm, and the height is 2 - 15 mm. The implementer selects the diameter and height of the fixing post 15 according to requirements. For example, the diameter can be 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, and 5 - 6 mm, and the height can be 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, 5 - 6 mm, 6 - 7 mm, 7 - 8 mm, 8 - 9 mm, 9 - 10 mm, 10 - 11 mm, 11 - 12 mm, 12 - 13 mm, 13 - 14 mm, and 14 - 15 mm.

[0051] Preferably, the diameter of the fixing post 15 is 3 - 4 mm.

[0052] In one embodiment, the cap 14 is in the shape of a top.

[0053] In one embodiment, the diameter at the largest cross-section of the cap 14 is 2 - 8 mm. The implementer selects the diameter at the bottom of the buckle 14 according to requirements. For example, the diameter can be 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, 5 - 6 mm, 6 - 7 mm, and 7 - 8 mm.

[0054] Preferably, the diameter at the largest cross-section of the cap 14 is 5 - 6 mm. When the diameter at the largest cross-section of the buckle 14 is 5 - 6 mm, the sampling module 1 has the best stability in the movement for automatically picking and discarding experimental consumables.

[0055] In one embodiment, the consumable connecting element further includes a limiting spring 12 and a limiting block 13. Both the limiting spring 12 and the limiting block 13 are sleeved outside the fixing column 15. One end of the limiting spring 12 is connected to or abuts against the material taking module body, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 13. The limiting block 13 can be an annular object. After the material taking module 1 is combined with the consumable 3, the limiting hole 33 of the consumable 3 is located between the capping 14 and the limiting block 13. Under the spring force of the limiting spring 12, the limiting hole 33 is stably located between the capping 14 and the limiting block 13.

[0056] In one embodiment, the magnetic rod module 2 includes a bearing plate 21, and the magnetic rod array 22 is arranged on the bearing plate 21.

[0057] All the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod module 2 pass through the magnetic rod passing area of the material taking module 1 and are inserted into the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 of the consumable 3. Moreover, the bearing plate 21 in the magnetic rod module 2 passes through the magnetic rod passing area of the material taking module 1. When the bearing plate 21 contacts the top plate 31 of the consumable 3 and continues to move downward, the fittings of the consumable 3 and the consumable connecting element of the material taking module 1 are separated under force, realizing the action of automatically discarding the consumable 3.

[0058] As Figure 5 shown, the second aspect of the present invention provides a consumable adapted to the component described in the first aspect. The consumable 3 is provided with a magnetic sleeve array and connecting fittings. The magnetic sleeve array 32 of the consumable 3 matches the magnetic rod array 22 of the component described in the first aspect, and the connecting fittings match the consumable connecting element of the component described in the first aspect.

[0059] In one embodiment, the length of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 is 10 - 90 mm, the diameter is 3 - 15 mm, and the wall thickness is 1 - 5 mm. Implementers can select the height, diameter, and wall thickness of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 according to requirements. For example, the length can be 10 - 20 mm, 20 - 30 mm, 30 - 40 mm, 40 - 50 mm, 50 - 60 mm, 60 - 70 mm, 70 - 80 mm, and 80 - 90 mm. The diameter can be 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, 5 - 6 mm, 6 - 7 mm, 7 - 8 mm, 8 - 9 mm, 9 - 10 mm, 10 - 11 mm, 11 - 12 mm, 12 - 13 mm, 13 - 14 mm, and 14 - 15 mm. The wall thickness can be 1 - 2 mm, 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, and 4 - 5 mm.

[0060] Preferably, the length of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 is 40 - 50 mm, the diameter is 4 - 5 mm, and the wall thickness is 2 - 3 mm. When the length of the magnetic sleeve is 40 - 50 mm and the diameter is 4 - 5 mm, the manufacturing cost is the most favorable when the matching of the magnetic sleeve to the magnetic rod is consistent. The wall thickness affects the efficiency of magnetic adsorption, and 2 - 3 mm can be compatible with a variety of magnetic substances.

[0061] In one embodiment, the consumable includes a top plate 31, and the magnetic sleeve array 32 is provided on the top plate 31.

[0062] In one embodiment, the length of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 is less than the length of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22.

[0063] When the consumable needs to be discarded, only some of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22 of the material taking module 1 can pass through the magnetic rod passing area. When the bearing plate 21 cannot pass through the magnetic rod passing area, since the length of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 is less than the length of the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array 22, the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod module 2 pass through the magnetic rod passing area of the material taking module 1 and insert into the magnetic sleeve array of the consumable, and the magnetic rods will contact the bottom of the magnetic sleeves. The magnetic rod module 2 continues to move downward, and the 22 magnetic rods in the magnetic rod array will apply pressure to the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 until the connection fitting of the consumable and the consumable connection element of the material taking module 1 are separated under force, realizing the action of automatically discarding the consumable.

[0064] In one embodiment, the bottom of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 is sealed.

[0065] In one embodiment, the connection fitting includes the limiting hole 33, and the limiting hole 33 penetrates through the top plate 31. The diameter of the limiting hole 33 is 2 - 8 mm, and the implementer selects the diameter of the bottom of the buckle 14 according to requirements. For example, the diameter can be 2 - 3 mm, 3 - 4 mm, 4 - 5 mm, 5 - 6 mm, 6 - 7 mm, and 7 - 8 mm.

[0066] In one embodiment, the consumable connection element includes a cap 14, the limiting hole 33 has plasticity, and the diameter of the limiting hole is less than the maximum outer diameter of the cap 14. When the material taking module 1 automatically takes the consumable 3, under the action of an external force, the buckle 14 of the material taking module 1 will pass through the limiting hole 33 of the consumable 3 as a whole. Since the diameter of the limiting hole 33 is less than the diameter of the largest cross-section of the buckle 14, after the material taking module 1 is combined with the consumable 3, they will not separate automatically.

[0067] In one embodiment, the diameter of the limiting hole 33 is 2-8 mm, and the implementer selects the diameter of the bottom of the buckle 14 according to needs. For example, the diameter can be 2-3 mm, 3-4 mm, 4-5 mm, 5-6 mm, 6-7 mm and 7-8 mm.

[0068] In one embodiment, the diameter of the limiting hole 33 is smaller than the diameter of the buckle 14 at the maximum cross section.

[0069] In one embodiment, the limiting hole 33 is circular and has a cross cutout.

[0070] Preferably, the single-direction opening length of the cross incision is 1 to 5 mm. The implementer selects the single-direction opening length of the cross incision according to the requirements, for example, the length can be 1 to 2 mm, 2 to 3 mm, 3 to 4 mm and 4 to 5 mm.

[0071] Preferably, the single-direction opening length of the cross-shaped cut is 2 to 3 mm, which is convenient for automatically discarding the experimental consumables and prevents the experimental consumables from automatically falling off due to their own gravity.

[0072] The third aspect of the present invention provides a consumable material taking and placing unit, comprising the component described in the first aspect and the consumable material described in the second aspect.

[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, when taking consumables 3, the cap 14 of the material taking module 1 is aligned with the limiting hole 33 of the consumables 3, and the material taking module 1 continues to descend until the cap 14 passes through the limiting hole 33, completing the action of taking consumables 3. When using consumables 3 for experiments, the limiting hole 33 of the consumables 3 is located between the cap 14 and the limiting block 13. Under the spring force of the limiting spring 12, the limiting hole 33 is firmly located between the cap 14 and the limiting block 13, maintaining the stable connection between the consumables 3 and the material taking module 1, and preventing the consumables 3 from shaking during the experiment. When discarding consumables 3, the material taking module 1 remains stationary, and the power element drives the magnetic rod module 2 to move downward toward the magnetic sleeve array 32 of the consumables 3. All the magnetic rods in the magnetic rod module 2 pass through the interior of the frame 11 of the material taking module 1 and are inserted into the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32 of the consumables 3, and the interior of the frame 11 is hollowed out, and the hollowed-out part is the magnetic rod crossing area. Since the length of the magnetic bars in the magnetic bar array 22 is greater than the length of the magnetic sleeves in the magnetic sleeve array 32, when the magnetic bars in the magnetic bar array 22 contact the bottom of the magnetic sleeves of the magnetic sleeve array 32 and continue to move downward, the limiting holes 33 of the consumables 3 are separated from the card caps 14 of the material collection module 1 by force, thereby realizing the action of automatically discarding the consumables 3.

[0074] In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0075] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
