Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a rotary cover-pulling mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A microfluidic reagent disc is a system that manipulates the flow of tiny volumes of fluid through microchannels. It enables sample and reagent preparation, reactions, and separations through capillary action and centrifugation. Immunofluorescence cytochemistry is based on the principle of antigen-antibody reactions. A known antigen or antibody is first labeled with fluorescein to create a fluorescent marker. This fluorescent antibody (or antigen) is then used as a molecular probe to detect the corresponding antigen (or antibody) within cells or tissues. The antigen-antibody complex formed within the cell or tissue contains fluorescein. When illuminated with excitation light, the fluorescein emits a bright yellow-green or orange-red fluorescence. The fluorescent cells or tissues can be visualized, allowing the nature and location of the antigen or antibody to be determined. Quantitative techniques can also be used to measure the fluorescence intensity to determine the concentration of the substance being tested. During the reaction process, the microfluidic reagent disc requires incubation and a constant temperature to ensure consistent reactions. The microfluidic reagent disc must be tested and run according to a specific process, requiring centrifugation at 5500 rpm and liquid distribution at 3000 rpm. The test process involves the stepper motor rotating to a specific position, followed by the forward and backward movement of the in-and-out motor and the flashing of the light path lights for testing. In the prior art, during automated testing of mixed test solutions, the soft plug in the test tube lid and the outer plastic shell may not fit securely, and during automatic lid removal, the soft plug and outer plastic shell may occasionally separate. Furthermore, the process of closing and removing the test tube lid involves sliding friction, resulting in high friction between the test tube body and the lid, which can easily lead to errors in closing and removing the lid.
[0003] Patent application number CN201710336634.8 discloses an automatic mixing and capping device for sample bottles. The device comprises a test tube rack and at least two parallel support columns. The test tube rack is provided with mounting holes that extend through the test tube rack. The mounting holes are provided with fixed claws for securing the sample bottles. The bottom of the fixed claws is connected to a motor, which is connected to a load-bearing plate. The bottom of the load-bearing plate is connected to a lifting device. The support columns are provided with through-holes located at their upper portions. A vent plate is provided between the support columns, with both ends of the vent plate being connected to the through-holes for rolling engagement. The vent plate is located directly above the test tube rack. The bottom surface of the vent plate is provided with suction holes corresponding to the mounting holes. An air pipe is connected to the center hole of one end of the vent plate. An air duct is provided within the vent plate, communicating with the suction holes and the air pipe. The other end of the air pipe is connected to a vacuum system. By arranging the test tube rack, fixed claws, and motor, and by the interaction of these components, the device achieves one-time mixing and capping of large quantities of sample bottles. However, during the uncapping process of this solution, the friction between the test tube body and the cover body is still sliding friction, which is not conducive to the test operation of automated test tube uncapping.

The test tube motor connecting plate and the compression spring connect the shouldered guide shaft and the clamping block mounting plate, converting the force of the connecting shaft motor, that is, the direct pressing force of the motor, into a spring force to compress the test tube.
[0039] In this embodiment, a pressure wheel mounting plate is provided on one side of the compression spring, and the pressure wheel mounting plate is a connecting piece for adjacent rotating cover-pulling components; a spring washer is provided on one side of the pressure wheel mounting plate. Preferably, the spring washer adopts a standard spring washer, and a bearing is provided below the spring washer. The bearing presses the test tube and rotates synchronously with the test tube, thereby limiting the dry friction generated when the test tube rotates.
[0040] In this embodiment, a driven shaft is provided below the bearing to fix the bearing, and a reduction motor, a coupling, a bearing and a bearing sleeve for fixing the bearing are provided on one side of the bearing; the lower end of the coupling sleeve is sleeved in the bearing, and the reduction motor is installed and fixed through the motor mounting plate to drive the wheel to rotate, and the force of the reduction motor is transmitted through the coupling.
[0041] In this embodiment, the test tube includes a long test tube and a short test tube. In this embodiment, preferably, the long test tube and the short test tube do not need to be used together. In order to illustrate that both the long test tube and the short test tube can be used in this mechanism, the test tube is positioned and guided by a test tube fixing block. A test tube support block is provided under the test tube to prevent the test tube from falling. A test tube fixing clamp is provided on one side of the test tube support block to fix the active wheel of the rotating cover-pulling component.

[0043] Example 2
[0044] The present embodiment provides a rotary capping mechanism, comprising a capping base plate, which is supported and positioned by a capping base plate mounting column; a rotary capping component is provided on the capping base plate, which supports and positions the rotary capping component; the rotary capping component comprises a connecting shaft motor, which is started to generate a rotational step angle to drive a bearing to press the test tube; a reduction motor is provided to act on a drive wheel, which drives the test tube to rotate under the action of rotational friction; the rotary capping mechanism comprises a manipulator, which grabs or places a test tube cap of the test tube during rotation.
[0045] In this embodiment, a test tube motor fixing plate is provided on the decapping base plate, through which the connecting shaft motor is fixed; a first slot-type optical coupler, a second slot-type optical coupler, and a diffuse reflection optical coupler are provided on the decapping base plate; the first slot-type optical coupler is a reset photoelectric device, while the second slot-type optical coupler and the diffuse reflection optical coupler are used to detect the presence of a test tube. The clamping advance and retreat block resets and triggers the first slot-type optical coupler, and the clamping advance and retreat block stops and retreats to the origin position of the rotary decapping mechanism; during the device power-on self-test, the connecting shaft motor drives the clamping advance and retreat block to reciprocate twice, twice detecting that the second slot-type optical coupler and the diffuse reflection optical coupler have no trigger signals, and feedback is given that there is no test tube in the rotary decapping mechanism. The connecting shaft motor resets to the origin position, stops, and proceeds to the next action. Furthermore, the origin position is the position where the clamping advance and retreat block triggers the first slot-type optical coupler, and the next action is for the robot arm to grab the test tube and place it into the rotary decapping mechanism.
[0046] In this embodiment, when the mechanism is activated, the connecting shaft motor moves back and forth twice to detect the presence of a test tube in the test tube holder and the space below it. If the first slotted optical coupler and the diffuse reflection optical coupler are not triggered after the advance and retreat block is tightened twice, the device determines that there is no test tube and can proceed to the next step. Otherwise, the device will alarm and the detection stops.
[0047] Furthermore, after the mechanism determines that there is no test tube, the connecting shaft motor moves backward, holding the advance and retreat block tightly and triggering the successful reset of the second slot-type optical coupler. The grabbing and mixing assembly clamp in the robotic arm then places the test tube into the hole of the test tube fixing block. The connecting shaft motor starts to rotate at a certain step angle, driving the bearing to press the test tube, and then the connecting shaft motor stops. Furthermore, the reduction motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the rolling friction generated drives the test tube assembly to rotate. During the rotation of the test tube assembly, the grabbing and mixing assembly clamp removes the rubber stopper from the test tube assembly. After the cap is removed, the sample arm assembly in the robotic arm absorbs the sample from the test tube glass tube. The reduction motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the drive wheel synchronously drives the glass test tube in the test tube assembly to rotate. During the rotation of the glass test tube, the grabbing and mixing assembly clamp replaces the previously removed cap into the glass test tube. After capping, the clamp returns the test tube assembly to its original position in the test tube rack.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
