[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical detection equipment, and particularly to a waste cap collection device, a waste cap treatment method, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of policy support and the continuous increase in medical insurance coverage, the annual number of medical treatment visits and physical examination visits in China has been increasing, and the automatic pipeline will become the first choice for medical laboratories. The main links of common automatic pipeline operations basically include: sample input, sample sorting, centrifugation, cap opening, analysis, capping, storage, transmission of results, confirmation, and sample re-inspection, etc.

[0003] Currently, after the trash can is pulled out in the existing cap opening device, the module must stop immediately. Otherwise, the generated waste caps will scatter inside the instrument, which is not easy to clean and may cause equipment failures. If the module stops working, the detection efficiency will be reduced.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a new waste cap collection device, a waste cap treatment method, and a readable storage medium to solve or at least alleviate the above technical defects. Summary of the Invention

One end of the buffering cap cylinder is provided with a feeding port, and the other end is provided with a discharging port. The cover plate is provided with a communication hole communicating with the discharging port and the opening; the blocking component includes a driving member and a blocking member mounted on the output shaft of the driving member. The driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract so that the blocking member blocks or releases the tube caps from discharging from the discharging port;

[0011] The detection mechanism includes a position sensor mounted on the mounting frame. The mounting frame is provided with a working station, and the position sensor is arranged corresponding to the working station for detecting whether the waste cap box is located at the working station. When the waste cap box is located at the working station, the cover plate blocks the opening. The position sensor and the driving member are both in signal connection with the controller.

[0012] In one embodiment, the detection mechanism further includes a fullness judgment sensor arranged corresponding to the communication hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the detection mechanism further includes a counting sensor mounted on the buffer cap cylinder for recording the number of the pipe caps entering the waste cap box from the buffer cap cylinder.

[0014] In one embodiment, the waste cap collection device further includes a slide rail which includes a fixed part and a sliding part in sliding fit. The fixed part is mounted on the mounting frame, and the sliding part is mounted on the waste cap box so that the bottom of the waste cap box is suspended above the ground.

[0015] In one embodiment, the waste cap collection device further includes a timing module for recording the exposure time of the opening.

[0016] In one embodiment, the waste cap collection device further includes an ultraviolet lamp mounted on the cover plate. The cover plate is provided with a light-transmitting hole for the light of the ultraviolet lamp to enter the accommodation space.

[0017] In one embodiment, the blocking member is arranged corresponding to the discharge port, and the driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract so that the blocking member covers or exposes the discharge port.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also provides a waste cap treatment method applied to the above waste cap collection device. The waste cap treatment method includes the following steps:

[0019] Obtain the in-place detection information of the in-place sensor;

[0020] Judge whether the waste cap box is located at the working station according to the in-place detection information;

[0021] When the waste cap box is located at the working station, control the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset;

[0022] When the waste cap box is not located at the working station, control the driving member to drive the blocking member to extend to block the discharge of the pipe caps from the discharge port.

[0023] In one embodiment, after the step of determining whether the waste cap box is located at the working station according to the in-place detection information, the method further includes:

[0024] Controlling the fullness detection sensor to obtain full-load detection information;

[0025] Determining whether the tube caps fill the accommodation space according to the full-load detection information.

[0026] In one embodiment, the steps of the waste cap processing method further include:

[0027] Obtaining the quantity of the tube caps recorded by the counting sensor.

[0028] In one embodiment, after the step of, when the waste cap box is located at the working station, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to extend into the buffer cap cylinder, the method further includes:

[0029] Obtaining the timing information of the timing module;

[0031] In addition, the present invention further provides a readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and the computer program is executed by a processor to perform the steps of the above waste cap processing method.

[0032] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the waste caps enter from the feed port of the self-slowing cap cylinder, are discharged from the discharge port of the self-slowing cap cylinder, and then enter the accommodation space through the communication hole communicating with the discharge port. When the accommodation space is full and the waste cap box needs to be pulled out to clean the waste caps in the waste cap box, or when the staff temporarily pulls out the waste cap box, the waste cap box leaves the working station. After the in-place sensor detects that the waste cap box has left the working station, the controller detects that the detection signal of the in-place sensor has changed, and then the controller controls the driving member to extend its output shaft so that the blocking member installed on the output shaft blocks the pipe caps entering the self-slowing cap cylinder from the feed port from being discharged from the discharge port, avoiding the phenomenon that the pipe caps discharged from the discharge port fail to enter the waste cap box and cause equipment failures; due to the blocking of the blocking member, the self-slowing cap cylinder can accommodate a certain number of pipe caps after the waste cap box is pulled out. Before the number of pipe caps in the self-slowing cap cylinder reaches the full load, the detection equipment works normally, so it will not affect the detection efficiency of the detection equipment; the staff cleans the waste cap box before the number of pipe caps in the self-slowing cap cylinder reaches the full load, and pushes the waste cap box back to the working station. When the waste cap box returns to the working station, the in-place sensor detects the waste cap box, and the controller recognizes that the signal of the in-place sensor has changed again, then the controller controls the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset, and the waste caps in the self-slowing cap cylinder lose the blocking of the blocking member and then enter the accommodation space through the discharge port, thus realizing the cleaning of the waste caps in the waste cap box without affecting the detection efficiency of the detection equipment.

[0046] And, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.

[0047] The present invention provides a waste cap collection device 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the waste cap collection device 1 includes a mounting frame 11, a waste cap box 12, a cover plate 13, a waste cap buffer mechanism 14 and a detection mechanism 15. The waste cap box 12 is provided with a receiving space for accommodating tube caps, and the waste cap box 12 is also provided with an opening 20 communicating with the receiving space. The cover plate 13 is installed on the mounting frame 11, and the waste cap box 12 can move relative to the cover plate 13 so that the cover plate 13 covers or exposes the opening 20. The waste cap buffer mechanism 14 includes a cap buffer cylinder 141 and a blocking assembly 142. The cap buffer cylinder 141 is installed on the cover plate 13. One end of the cap buffer cylinder 141 is provided with a feed inlet 17, and the other end is provided with a discharge outlet. The cover plate 13 is provided with a communication hole communicating the discharge outlet and the opening 20. The blocking assembly 142 includes a driving member and a blocking member installed on the output shaft of the driving member. The driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract so that the blocking member blocks or releases the tube cap from being discharged from the discharge outlet. The detection mechanism 15 includes a position sensor 151. The position sensor 151 is installed on the mounting frame 11. The mounting frame 11 is provided with a working station 18. The position sensor 151 is arranged corresponding to the working station 18 to detect whether the waste cap box 12 is located at the working station 18. When the waste cap box 12 is located at the working station 18, the cover plate 13 covers the opening 20. The position sensor 151 and the driving member are both signal-connected to the controller.

[0048] Among them, the pipe cap enters from the feed port 17 of the buffer cap cylinder 141, discharges from the discharge port of the buffer cap cylinder 141, and then enters the accommodation space through the communication hole communicated with the discharge port. When the accommodation space is full of pipe caps and the waste cap box 12 needs to be pulled out to clean the pipe caps in the waste cap box 12, or when the staff temporarily pulls out the waste cap box 12, the waste cap box 12 leaves the working station 18. After the in-place sensor 151 detects that the waste cap box 12 has left the working station 18, the controller detects that the detection signal of the in-place sensor 151 has changed, and then the controller controls the driving member to extend its output shaft so that the blocking member installed on the output shaft blocks the pipe cap entering the buffer cap cylinder 141 from the feed port 17 from discharging from the discharge port, avoiding the phenomenon of equipment failure caused by the pipe cap discharged from the discharge port failing to enter the waste cap box 12; due to the blocking of the blocking member, the buffer cap cylinder 141 can accommodate a certain number of pipe caps after the waste cap box 12 is pulled out. Before the number of pipe caps in the buffer cap cylinder 141 reaches the full load quantity, the detection equipment works normally, so the detection efficiency of the detection equipment will not be affected; the staff completes the cleaning of the waste cap box 12 before the number of pipe caps in the buffer cap cylinder 141 reaches the full load, and pushes the waste cap box 12 to make it return to the working station 18. When the waste cap box 12 returns to the working station 18, the in-place sensor 151 detects the waste cap box 12, and the controller recognizes that the signal of the in-place sensor 151 has changed again, then the controller controls the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset, and the pipe caps in the buffer cap cylinder 141 lose the blocking of the blocking member and then enter the accommodation space through the discharge port, thus realizing the cleaning of the pipe caps in the waste cap box 12 without affecting the detection efficiency of the detection equipment. It should be noted that the blocking member can be arranged corresponding to the discharge port, and the driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract so that the blocking member can block or expose the discharge port; in addition, an avoidance hole can also be opened on the outer wall of the buffer cap cylinder 141, and the driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract so that the blocking member extends into or withdraws from the buffer cap cylinder 141 through the avoidance hole. When the blocking member extends into the buffer cap cylinder 141, it can also play the role of preventing the pipe cap from discharging from the discharge port.

[0049] Moreover, the detection mechanism 15 further includes a fullness judgment sensor 152, and the fullness judgment sensor 152 is arranged corresponding to the communication hole. By adding the fullness judgment sensor 152, it is used to assist the staff in judging whether the waste cap box 12 is full of pipe caps, without the staff having to pull out the waste cap box 12 from the working station 18 to confirm whether the accommodation space is full of pipe caps. According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the fullness judgment sensor 152 detects that the waste cap box 12 is full of pipe caps, the controller detects that the signal of the fullness judgment sensor 152 has changed, and the controller controls the buzzer to alarm or prompt the staff in other ways that the waste cap box 12 is full of pipe caps and needs to be cleaned in time.

[0050] In addition, the detection mechanism 15 further includes a counting sensor 153, which is installed on the buffer cap cylinder 141 to record the number of tube caps entering the waste cap box 12 from the buffer cap cylinder 141. By adding the counting sensor 153 to record the number of tube caps entering the buffer cap cylinder 141, the waste cap collection device 1 has a counting function, so that the staff can understand the number of tube caps in the waste cap box 12. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the counting sensor 153 is electrically connected to the controller. When the number of tube caps recorded by the counting sensor 153 exceeds a preset value, the controller controls the driving member to extend, so that the blocking member blocks the tube caps from continuing to enter the accommodation space from the discharge port. At the same time, the controller controls the buzzer alarm to work to notify the staff to clean the tube caps in the waste cap box 12.

[0051] In addition, the waste cap collection device 1 further includes a slide rail 16. The slide rail 16 includes a fixed part and a sliding part that are slidably matched. The fixed part is installed on the mounting frame 11, and the sliding part is installed on the waste cap box 12, so that the bottom of the waste cap box 12 is suspended above the ground. By adding the slide rail 16, the waste cap box 12 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 11 by means of the slide rail 16. Compared with directly placing the waste cap box 12 on the ground, the waste cap box 12 is suspended above the ground by the slide rail 16, and the waste cap box 12 can slide relative to the mounting frame 11 through the sliding fit of the fixed part and the sliding part, so that it is more labor-saving to pull the waste cap box 12.

[0052] Furthermore, the waste cap collection device 1 further includes a timing module for recording the exposure time of the opening 20. When the waste cap box 12 leaves the working station 18 and the opening 20 is exposed, the controller controls the timing module to start timing. If the time recorded by the timing module exceeds the preset time, the controller controls the detection device to stop running, avoiding the tube caps overflowing from the buffer cap cylinder 141 when the detection device continues to run after the buffer cap cylinder 141 is full, so that the buffer cap cylinder 141 cannot play its due role, and at the same time avoiding possible equipment failures caused by the overflowing tube caps.

[0053] Moreover, the waste cap collection device 1 further includes an ultraviolet lamp 19, which is installed on the cover plate 13. The cover plate 13 is provided with a light-transmitting hole for the light of the ultraviolet lamp 19 to enter the accommodation space. The light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 19 enters the accommodation space from the light-transmitting hole to disinfect the tube caps placed in the accommodation space and the inner wall of the waste cap box 12, thus ensuring the life and health of the staff.

[0054] Among them, the blocking member is arranged corresponding to the discharge port, and the driving member drives the blocking member to expand and contract, so that the blocking member covers or exposes the discharge port. Compared with inserting the blocking member into the buffer cap cylinder 141 to block the discharge of the tube caps from the discharge port, the blocking member is arranged corresponding to the discharge port, and the buffer cap cylinder 141 can accommodate more tube caps, leaving sufficient time for the staff to clean the tube caps in the waste cap box 12.

[0055] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for treating waste caps. Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the process of the first embodiment of the waste cap treatment method of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a waste cap treatment method of the present invention, which is applied to the waste cap collection device mentioned above. The waste cap treatment method comprises the following steps:

[0056] S100, obtaining the in-place detection information of the in-place sensor;

[0057] By setting an in-place sensor, the in-place detection information of the waste cap box is obtained. The in-place detection information helps the staff to understand the position of the waste cap box and whether the waste cap box is in the correct position.

[0058] S200, judging whether the waste hat box is located at the working station according to the in-place detection information;

[0059] Whether the waste cap box is in the working position can be determined based on the in-place detection information, and the staff can determine whether the waste cap box is successfully moved to the working station based on the in-place detection information to ensure that the pipe caps can smoothly enter the storage space of the waste cap box by the cap barrel.

[0060] S210, when the waste cap box is located at the working station, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset;

[0061] When the waste cap box is located at the working station, the controller controls the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset, so that the pipe caps entering from the feed inlet can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port of the slow cap barrel into the accommodating space.

[0062] S220, when the waste hat box is not located at the working station, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to extend into the slow hat barrel.

[0063] When the waste cap box leaves the working station, the controller detects that the detection signal of the in-place sensor changes, and then the controller controls the driving member to extend its output shaft, so that the blocking member installed on the output shaft blocks the pipe caps entering the slow cap barrel from the feed inlet from being discharged from the discharge outlet, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the pipe caps discharged from the discharge outlet fail to enter the waste cap box and cause equipment failure.

[0064] In the above embodiments of the present invention, when the accommodation space is filled with the buffer cap cylinder and the waste cap box needs to be pulled out to clean the tube caps in the waste cap box, or when the staff temporarily pulls out the waste cap box, causing the waste cap box to leave the working station, after the in-place sensor detects that the waste cap box has left the working station, the controller detects a change in the detection signal of the in-place sensor, and then the controller controls the driving member to extend its output shaft so that the blocking member installed on the output shaft blocks the tube caps entering the buffer cap cylinder from the feed port from discharging from the discharge port, avoiding the occurrence of equipment failures caused by the tube caps discharged from the discharge port failing to enter the waste cap box; due to the blocking of the blocking member, the buffer cap cylinder can accommodate a certain number of tube caps after the waste cap box is pulled out. Before the number of tube caps in the buffer cap cylinder reaches the full load, the detection equipment works normally, so it will not affect the detection efficiency of the detection equipment; the staff completes the cleaning of the waste cap box before the number of tube caps in the buffer cap cylinder reaches the full load, and pushes the waste cap box back to the working station. When the waste cap box returns to the working station, the in-place sensor detects the waste cap box, and the controller recognizes that the signal of the in-place sensor changes again, then the controller controls the driving member to drive the blocking member to reset, and the tube caps in the buffer cap cylinder lose the blocking of the blocking member and enter the accommodation space through the discharge port, thus achieving the cleaning of the tube caps in the waste cap box without affecting the detection efficiency of the detection equipment.

[0065] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic flow chart of the third embodiment of the waste cap processing method of the present invention. After the step of S200, it further includes:

[0066] S201, controlling the fullness sensor to obtain the full load detection information;

[0067] S202, judging whether the tube caps fill the accommodation space according to the full load detection information.

[0068] In the above embodiments of the present invention, by adding a fullness sensor to assist the staff in judging whether the waste cap box is filled with tube caps, it is not necessary for the staff to pull out the waste cap box from the working station to confirm whether the accommodation space is filled with tube caps.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the tube caps fill the accommodation space, the controller notifies the staff to clean the waste cap box by buzzer alarm or other means; if the tube caps do not fill the accommodation space, step S202 is repeated.

[0070] According to another embodiment of the present invention, if the tube caps fill the accommodation space, the controller controls the driving member to drive the blocking member to extend to block the tube caps from discharging from the discharge port; at the same time, the controller notifies the staff to clean the waste cap box by buzzer alarm or other means; if the tube caps do not fill the accommodation space, step S202 is repeated.

[0071] And, the steps of the waste cap processing method further include:

[0072] S001, obtaining the quantity of the tube caps recorded by the counting sensor.

[0073] In the above embodiments of the present invention, by adding a counting sensor to record the quantity of the tube caps entering the slow cap cylinder, the waste cap collection device has a counting function, so that the staff can understand the number of tube caps in the waste cap box. Specifically, the size of the waste cap box is 350*240*270mm, and the volume is about 2.268*107mm 3 , considering the gap between the tube caps in the accommodation space and the effective utilization rate of the volume of the waste cap box, the safety factor is taken as 1.5, and the volume of the largest blood collection tube cap is about 4578mm 3 , and through calculation, it can be obtained that this bucket can store 3300 waste caps.

[0074] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 , which is a schematic flowchart of the fourth embodiment of the waste cap processing method of the present invention. After the step of S220, it further includes:

[0075] S300, obtaining the timing information of the timing module;

[0076] S400, controlling the opening-closing manipulator to continue or stop carrying the tube caps according to the timing information.

[0077] In the above embodiments of the present invention, if the timing information is less than the preset time information, step S300 is repeated; if the timing information is greater than the preset time information, the manipulator is controlled to stop by the controller, so as to avoid equipment failure caused by the overflow of the tube caps from the slow cap cylinder.

[0078] In addition, the present invention also provides a readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and the computer program is executed by a processor to perform the steps of the above waste cap processing method.

[0079] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
