DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In view of this, the core of the present invention is to provide a sample tube transfer robot to improve the versatility of the sample tube transfer robot.
[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a sample tube transfer robot, including a gripping mechanism 100 , a lifting mechanism 200 and a moving mechanism 300 .
[0032] The gripping mechanism 100 includes a gripping power device 101, a gripping mounting plate 102, a cam 103, a gripper 104, a first guide member 105 and a first elastic element 106. The gripping power device 101 is arranged on the gripping mounting plate 102, the cam 103 is arranged on the output shaft of the gripping power device 101, the gripper 104 includes a first clamping jaw 1041 and a second clamping jaw 1042 slidably arranged on the first guide member 105, and the cam 103 is located between the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 and is attached to the first clamping jaw. 1041 is in contact with the second clamping jaw 1042, and the first elastic element 106 is arranged between the outer wall of the first clamping jaw 1041 and the grabbing mounting plate 102 and between the outer wall of the second clamping jaw 1042 and the grabbing mounting plate 102; the lifting mechanism 200 is connected to the grabbing mounting plate 102, and can drive the grabbing mechanism 100 to perform lifting and lowering movements through a synchronous toothed belt transmission; the lifting mechanism 200 is arranged on the moving mechanism 300, and the moving mechanism 300 can drive the lifting mechanism 200 to rotate by rotating the connecting shaft 303.
[0033] When the sample tube transfer manipulator provided by the present invention is used, since the cam 103 is arranged on the output shaft of the grasping power device 101, the grasping power device 101 can drive the cam 103 to rotate; since the gripper 104 includes a first clamping jaw 1041 and a second clamping jaw 1042 slidably arranged on the first guide member 105, the cam 103 is located between the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 and contacts the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042, and the outer wall of the first clamping jaw 1041 is in contact with the grasping mounting plate The first elastic element 106 is disposed between the outer wall of the first clamping jaw 1041 and the outer wall of the second clamping jaw 1042 and the grabbing mounting plate 102. Therefore, as the cam 103 rotates, when the polar diameter of the contact position between the cam 103 and the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 gradually increases, the cam 103 pushes the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042, so that the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 overcome the compression force of the first elastic element 106 and slide along the first guide member 105 toward the two sides of the cam 103, thereby achieving the grabbing. The gripper 104 opens so as to open to allow the sample tube 400 to pass through; when the diameter of the contact position between the cam 103 and the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 gradually decreases, the compression force of the first elastic element 106 pushes the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 to slide along the first guide member 105 toward the center of the cam 103, thereby realizing the clamping action of the gripper 104, so as to facilitate the clamping of the sample tube 400; after the gripper 104 has clamped the sample tube 400, the gripper 104 is lifted up by the lifting device connected to the gripping mounting plate 102. The lowering mechanism 200 drives the gripping mechanism 100 to perform lifting and lowering movements, so that the sample tube 400 clamped by the gripper 104 of the gripping mechanism 100 performs lifting and lowering movements; since the lifting mechanism 200 is arranged on the moving mechanism 300, and the moving mechanism 300 can drive the lifting mechanism 200 to perform rotational movement, the moving mechanism 300 can drive the gripping structure to perform rotational movement through the lifting mechanism 200, so that the gripper 104 of the gripping mechanism 100 drives the sample tube 400 to perform rotational movement, thereby realizing the transfer of the sample tube 400. It can be seen that the sample tube transfer manipulator provided by the present invention can adjust the distance between the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second clamping jaw 1042 by rotating the cam 103, so that the gripper 104 can adapt to sample tubes 400 of different diameter specifications, so that the gripper 104 can grasp sample tubes 400 of various diameter specifications, thereby improving the compatibility of the sample tube transfer manipulator with the sample tube 400 and improving the versatility of the sample tube transfer manipulator.
[0034] It should be noted that the first elastic element 106 may be a spring, a colloid airbag or a rubber block, etc., and any type that can meet the use requirements belongs to the protection scope of the present invention; preferably, the embodiment of the present invention adopts a spring, which has a simple structure and is easy to install.
[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the gripping mechanism 100 also includes a transmission member 107 disposed between the cam 103 and the first clamp 1041 and the second clamp 1042, so as to reduce the friction between the cam 103 and the first clamp 1041 and between the cam 103 and the second clamp 1042, reduce the wear on the cam 103, and extend the service life of the sample tube transfer robot.

The first gripping finger 1041-a can also be connected to the first clamping jaw 1041 through an integrated rubber coating process, and the second gripping finger 1042-a can be connected to the second clamping jaw 1042 through a rubber coating process, so as to realize the integration of the first gripping finger 1041-a and the first clamping jaw 1041, and realize the integration of the second gripping finger 1042-a and the second clamping jaw 1042. As long as the first gripping finger 1041-a can be set in the first clamping jaw 1041 and the second gripping finger 1042-a can be set in the second clamping jaw 1042, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] Furthermore, the sample tube transfer robot provided by the present invention can be used for, but not limited to, the transfer of sample tubes 400, and can also be used for the transfer of automotive parts, electronic parts, or packaged food, etc. Therefore, the present invention does not specifically limit the application scope of the sample tube transfer robot. In actual applications, the first gripping finger 1041-a and the second gripping finger 1042-a can be adaptively replaced according to the shape of the object to be transferred.

[0044] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 200 also includes a lifting position sensor 208 arranged on the lifting mounting plate 201, so as to detect whether the lifting mechanism 200 lifts the grabbing mounting plate 102 into position, thereby judging whether the gripper 104 of the grabbing mechanism 100 is lifted into position, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the sample tube transfer robot.
