Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical specimen labeling, and in particular to a labeling mechanism, a labeling method and a labeling machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, due to the significant differences in shape and volume between blood collection tubes and urine collection tubes, different labeling machines are typically used to label them. This results in hospitals or clinics having to purchase and install two different labeling machines, increasing both procurement and operating costs. For users, having two labeling machines is inconvenient, as, for example, they need to operate two separate labeling machines or, if there are too many people, they need to queue twice, reducing both labeling efficiency and user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a labeling mechanism, a labeling method and a labeling machine, which are used to solve the problem that the labeling mechanism in the prior art cannot label both urine collection tubes and blood collection tubes.

[0007] The receiving mechanism is slidably arranged below the storage bins and is used to slide back and forth just below the pipe outlets of the first and second storage bins to catch blood collection tubes or urine collection tubes that fall from the storage bins.

[0008] The clamping mechanism is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting pipe mechanism along the slide rail, and is used to laterally clamp both ends of the blood sampling tube or urine sampling tube on the connecting pipe mechanism, and radially rotate the blood sampling tube or urine sampling tube to move it toward the label printer;

[0009] The label printer is arranged above the slide rail, and the label printed by the label printer is transferred from the label outlet to the labeling station with the adhesive surface facing the blood collection tube or urine collection tube of the clamping mechanism;

[0010] The squeezing mechanism is arranged above the slide rail and is located on the side where the clamping mechanism slides over the label printer. The squeezing mechanism squeezes the middle surface of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube by means of a pressure wheel, and utilizes friction squeezing to label the rotating tube.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further comprises: a sensor disposed between the storage bin and the label printer, the sensor collecting light signals reflected from the middle surface of the blood sampling tube or urine sampling tube.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes: a control module, connected to the output end of the sensor and the clamping mechanism, respectively, for adjusting the rotation angle of the urine collection tube on the clamping mechanism according to the light signal, so that when the clamping mechanism moves to the labeling station for secondary labeling, the corresponding label position on the urine collection tube is exactly above the original label on the urine collection tube.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting pipe mechanism includes a horizontally movable support frame and a connecting pipe groove fixed to the upper end of the support frame, and the connecting pipe groove is a transversely arranged arc groove.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the squeezing mechanism is a pressing wheel assembly parallel to the blood collection tube or urine collection tube, and the pressing wheel assembly is provided with a rotatable transverse rubber pressing wheel.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention provides a labeling method, comprising:

[0018] Obtaining an operation instruction, wherein the operation instruction includes a first instruction for taking a blood collection tube and / or a second instruction for taking a urine collection tube;

[0021] The label printer prints the corresponding label according to the monitored instruction, and the label is transferred from the label outlet to the labeling station with the adhesive surface facing the clamping mechanism;

[0022] When the clamping mechanism slides the rotating blood collection tube or urine collection tube through the labeling station, the label contacts the surface of the rotating blood collection tube or urine collection tube and sticks to the tube surface, and the squeezing mechanism squeezes the label on the rotating tube to complete the labeling.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: when the monitor receives the second instruction, clamping the urine collection tube on the connecting mechanism; using a sensor to collect a light signal reflected by the urine collection tube, and adjusting the rotation angle of the urine collection tube according to the light signal, so that the label is attached to the original label of the urine collection tube to form a secondary label.

Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0047] See also Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a labeling mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and please refer to Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a labeling mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the labeling mechanism comprising:

[0048] A frame 1; and a storage bin 2, a label printer 5, a takeover mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 3 and a squeezing mechanism 6 provided on the frame;

[0049] The storage compartment 2 is arranged above the connecting mechanism 4, and includes a first storage compartment for horizontally storing blood collection tubes of corresponding sizes and a second storage compartment for horizontally storing urine collection tubes of corresponding sizes;

[0050] Among them, the first storage bin and the second storage bin are adjacent to each other and arranged in parallel, and the pipe outlets of the first storage bin and the second storage bin are located on the same horizontal line, which is conducive to the lower connecting mechanism to smoothly catch the blood collection tube or urine collection tube that falls horizontally.

[0051] Since blood collection tubes and urine collection tubes are of different sizes, it is convenient to meet the different needs of users by storing blood collection tubes and urine collection tubes that can adapt to different sizes and specifications separately.

[0052] The receiving mechanism 4 is slidably arranged below the storage bin 2 and is used to slide back and forth just below the pipe outlets of the first storage bin and the second storage bin to catch the blood collection tube or urine collection tube dropped from the storage bin 2;

[0053] Among them, the base 9 (such as Figure 3 Or as shown in 4), the base has a hollow portion in the middle along the central axis, the connecting mechanism is installed on the base through the hollow portion, and a motor is provided below the hollow portion to drive the connecting mechanism to perform directional movement along the central axis of the hollow, and the directional position is located directly below the discharge pipe outlets of the first storage bin and the second storage bin, respectively.

[0054] Specifically, if a first instruction is received for taking a blood collection tube, the control module controls the taking over mechanism to be located directly below the pipe outlet of the first storage bin; if a second instruction is received for taking a urine collection tube, the control module controls the taking over mechanism to be located directly below the pipe outlet of the second storage bin.

[0055] The clamping mechanism 3 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting mechanism 4 along the slide rail, and is used to horizontally clamp both ends of the blood sampling tube or urine sampling tube on the connecting mechanism 4, and radially rotate the blood sampling tube or urine sampling tube to move it closer to the label printer 5;

[0056] The blood collection tube or urine collection tube moves toward the label printer 5. During the movement, the two clamping sleeves holding the ends of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube rotate in the same direction, driving the blood collection tube or urine collection tube to rotate radially clockwise or counterclockwise through friction.

[0057] The label printer 5 is arranged above the slide rail, and the label printed by the label printer 5 is transferred from the label outlet to the labeling station with the adhesive surface facing the blood collection tube or urine collection tube of the clamping mechanism 3;

[0058] Among them, the label printer adopts the existing embedded label printing module, and its label outlet is set forward, so that the label adhesive surface faces the sliding clamping mechanism, and the adhesive surface is just aligned with the middle surface of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube.

[0059] The squeezing mechanism 6 is arranged above the slide rail and is located on the side where the clamping mechanism 3 slides over the label printer 5. The squeezing mechanism 6 squeezes the middle surface of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube by means of a pressure wheel, and utilizes friction squeezing to label the label on the rotating tube.

[0060] In this embodiment, sample holding tubes for urine collection tubes and blood collection tubes are stored separately in storage bins. The connecting mechanism receives the sample holding tubes of corresponding types, and the clamping mechanism clamps both ends of the sample holding tube close to the labeling station of the label printer and sticks them on the surface of the sample holding tube. The squeezing mechanism squeezes the middle surface of the sample holding tube by means of a pressure wheel, and friction squeezing is used to label the label on the rotating tube, thereby achieving a device that is compatible with labeling blood collection tubes or urine collection tubes, which not only improves user experience but also reduces the cost of procurement, installation and maintenance for hospitals.

[0061] In other embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , further comprising: a sensor 8 disposed between the storage bin and the label printer, the sensor collecting light signals reflected from the middle surface of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube. For example, the sensor 8 may be a photosensor that converts light signals into electrical signals using a photosensor; for another example, a through-beam edge-finding sensor for detecting the scale lines along the factory label of the urine collection tube.

[0062] The system further includes: a control module, connected to the output end of the sensor and the clamping mechanism, respectively, for adjusting the rotation angle of the urine collection tube on the clamping mechanism according to the light signal, so that when the clamping mechanism moves to the labeling station for secondary labeling, the corresponding label position on the urine collection tube is exactly above the original label on the urine collection tube.

[0063] Specifically, the edge scale lines of the factory label of the urine collection tube are calibrated by the sensor, so that when the (user) patient label printed by the label printer is sent from the label outlet to the labeling station for pasting, there is a gap between the edge scale lines of the patient label and the original factory label, which can ensure that the liquid level of urine in the tube is reflected through the gap when the urine collection tube is in use.

[0064] In this embodiment, the blank surface of the urine collection tube is detected by the sensor and calibrated with the edge scale line of the factory label to control the rotation angle of the urine collection tube and ensure the rotation position of the urine collection tube in the clamping mechanism, thereby adjusting the angle of the urine collection tube relative to the sensor (i.e., the rotation surface). For example, when the clamping mechanism moves to the sensor area, if no blank gap is detected on the surface of the urine collection tube, the rotation of the urine collection tube is controlled until a blank gap is detected, and then the rotation is stopped to ensure the pasting position of the secondary label. When the pasting position is good after adjustment, the label is placed close to the label printer according to this position angle for secondary labeling, so that the printed patient label can cover the original factory label, forming a staggered gap on the surface of the urine collection tube.

[0065] In other embodiments, the connecting pipe mechanism includes a horizontally movable support frame and a connecting pipe groove fixed to the upper end of the support frame, and the connecting pipe groove is a transversely arranged arc groove.

[0066] Specifically, the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove is a smooth surface, and the diameter of the arc-shaped groove is larger than the diameter of the urine collection tube or the blood collection tube, ensuring that the urine collection tube or the blood collection tube that falls horizontally from the storage bin slides stably to the lowest point of the arc-shaped groove. At the same time, the length of the arc-shaped groove is much smaller than the length of the urine collection tube or the blood collection tube, ensuring that the two ends of the urine collection tube or the blood collection tube that falls at the lowest point of the arc-shaped groove can be exposed, which is conducive to the clamping mechanism to smoothly clamp the two ends of the urine collection tube or the blood collection tube.

[0067] In other embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes a base symmetrically arranged on the slide rail and capable of synchronous sliding, and a clamping sleeve axially symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the base; each clamping sleeve is perpendicular to the base and slide rail corresponding thereto.

[0068] Specifically, the height of the clamping sleeve on the clamping mechanism is slightly higher than that of the connecting mechanism, wherein the central axes of the two clamping sleeves are on the same horizontal line as the central axis in the arc-shaped groove, and the inner diameter of the clamping sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the urine collection tube or blood collection tube, ensuring that the clamping sleeve can stably clamp both ends of the urine collection tube or blood collection tube.

[0069] In addition, the clamping sleeves are relatively arranged on the two bases, the two bases are symmetrically arranged on the slide rail, the clamping sleeves are perpendicular to the end faces of the bases, and the clamping sleeves and the slide rails are perpendicular to each other using the bases.

[0070] Among them, it should be noted that the sliding of the base can be driven by a motor or a motor as a driving mechanism, and the two bases move synchronously along the slide rail. The control module is used to control the forward or reverse rotation of the driving mechanism, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the base toward the label printer.

[0071] In other embodiments, the clamping sleeve includes an integrated connecting rod and sleeve, the sleeve is fixed to one end of the connecting rod close to the connecting mechanism, the connecting rod passes through a rotating bearing, and the rotating bearing drives the connecting rod to rotate axially, so that the two sleeves clamp the two ends of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube through the same direction movement, and the blood collection tube or urine collection tube is placed into the designated carrier box through the reverse movement.

[0072] Specifically, the interior of the sleeve is a smooth surface, and the end of the sleeve is a spherical concave surface. The rotating bearing is driven by a motor to achieve rotation. At the same time, since the connecting rod passes through the rotating bearing, the rotating bearing drives the connecting rod to move, thereby causing the blood collection tube or urine collection tube in the clamping sleeve to rotate accordingly. For example, the control module controls the clamping sleeve to move to the top of the connecting mechanism to clamp the corresponding blood collection tube or urine collection tube through a first control signal. For another example, the control module adjusts the rotation speed of the current clamping sleeve through the size of the second control signal, thereby adjusting the rotation angle surface of the clamping sleeve blood collection tube or urine collection tube.

[0073] In other embodiments, the squeezing mechanism is a roller assembly parallel to the blood collection tube or urine collection tube, and the roller assembly includes a rotatable transverse rubber roller. For example, under the rolling pressure of the rubber roller, the patient label can be firmly affixed to the blood collection tube. After the patient label is affixed, the rubber roller continues to rotate the blood collection tube or urine collection tube within the sleeve, thereby ensuring that the patient label is completely affixed to the surface of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube.

[0074] See also Figure 5 , is a flow chart of a labeling method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0075] Step S1, obtaining an operation instruction, wherein the operation instruction includes a first instruction for taking a blood collection tube and / or a second instruction for taking a urine collection tube;

[0076] Step S2, when the first instruction or the second instruction is detected, the takeover mechanism is called to move to the corresponding storage bin outlet according to the detected instruction until the takeover mechanism receives the blood collection tube or urine collection tube dropped laterally from the storage bin; thereafter,

[0077] Step S3, using a clamping mechanism to laterally clamp the two ends of the blood collection tube or urine collection tube on the connecting mechanism, and the clamping mechanism moves along the track toward the label printer; wherein the blood collection tube or urine collection tube rotates radially in the clamping mechanism; at the same time,

[0078] Step S4: the label printer prints the corresponding label according to the monitored instruction, and the label is transferred from the label outlet to the labeling station with the adhesive surface facing the clamping mechanism;

[0079] There is no fixed order between step S3 and step S4, that is, step S3 and step S4 can be performed simultaneously, step S3 before step S4, or step S4 after step S3, which is not limited here.

[0080] In step S5, when the clamping mechanism slides the rotating blood collection tube or urine collection tube through the labeling station, the label contacts the surface of the rotating blood collection tube or urine collection tube and sticks to the tube surface, and the squeezing mechanism squeezes the label on the rotating tube to complete the labeling.

[0081] In other embodiments, the method further includes: when the monitor receives a second instruction, clamping the urine collection tube on the connecting mechanism; using a sensor to collect a light signal reflected by the urine collection tube, and adjusting the rotation angle of the urine collection tube according to the light signal, so that the label is attached to the original label of the urine collection tube to form a secondary label.

[0082] In this embodiment, by adjusting the rotation angle of the urine collection tube, the original factory label on the surface of the urine collection tube is positioned according to the calibrated edge scale line, ensuring that the original factory label-sticking area faces the labeling station, and then the printed patient label is pasted on the original label to form a secondary label, forming a surface gap on the labeled surface of the urine collection tube, or further ensuring that there is a gap between the edge scale line of the patient label and the original factory label.

[0083] In other embodiments, a labeling machine is provided, comprising the test tube labeling mechanism and a conveying mechanism provided on the inner side of the slide rail 10 and having a carrier box 7, wherein the conveying mechanism transports blood collection tubes or urine collection tubes to a discharge port by lifting the carrier box.

[0084] Specifically, the cargo box is arranged on the inner side of the slide rail and is located at the end of the slide rail, close to the squeezing mechanism. When the clamping mechanism clamps the two ends of the urine collection tube or blood collection tube and then cooperates with the squeezing mechanism, the labeling action is completed. The clamping mechanism continues to move along the slide rail until the clamping mechanism places the urine collection tube or blood collection tube on top of the cargo box. The two clamping sleeves in the clamping mechanism make reverse movement, and the urine collection tube or blood collection tube clamped laterally in the sleeve falls into the cargo box. The cargo box is raised by the conveying mechanism to transport the urine collection tube or blood collection tube in the cargo box to the discharge port, so that the user (patient) can smoothly get the labeled urine collection tube or blood collection tube through the discharge port.

[0085] In summary, the storage bins of the present invention store sample tubes for urine and blood collection tubes, respectively. A receiving mechanism receives the corresponding type of sample tubes, a clamping mechanism holds both ends of the sample tubes close to the labeling station of a label printer, and affixes the labels to the surface of the sample tubes. A pressing mechanism compresses the central surface of the sample tubes using a pressure roller, applying the labels to the rotating tubes through friction. This allows a single device to label both blood and urine collection tubes, improving user experience while reducing procurement, installation, and maintenance costs for hospitals. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and possesses high industrial value.

[0086] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
