[0052] This invention proposes a track conveyor line and a fully automated sample analysis system, aiming to solve the problem that the connection and positioning of the conveyor tracks in existing track conveyor lines are unreliable.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The track conveyor line includes a conveying component 1, a conveying drive component 2, and multiple track mounting components 3. The conveying component 1 includes multiple conveying tracks 11 arranged at intervals in sequence. The conveying drive component 2 is used to drive the conveying tracks 11 to convey materials. Multiple track mounting components 3 are arranged at intervals below the conveying tracks 11 along the conveying direction of the conveying tracks 11. Each track mounting component 3 includes a mounting base 31 and multiple mounting bases 32 connected to the mounting base 31. The number of mounting bases 32 of each track mounting component 3 is the same as the number of conveying tracks 11 and they are connected one-to-one. The top of the mounting base 32 is provided with a track mounting groove 325 for the conveying track 11 connected to it to be inserted. The mounting base 31 is provided with multiple base mounting grooves 311. The number of base mounting grooves 311 is the same as the number of mounting bases 32 and they are connected one-to-one. The bottom of the mounting base 32 is inserted into the corresponding base mounting groove 311.

[0054] The track conveyor line of the present invention includes a conveying component 1, a conveying drive component 2, and a plurality of track mounting components 3. The conveying component 1 includes a plurality of conveying tracks 11 arranged at intervals in sequence. Materials can be placed on the conveying tracks 11. The conveying drive component 2 drives the conveying tracks 11 to convey materials. The plurality of track mounting components 3 are arranged at intervals in sequence below the conveying tracks 11 along the conveying direction of the conveying tracks 11. The track mounting components 3 include a mounting base 31 and a plurality of mounting bases 32, each connected to the mounting base 31. The number of mounting bases 32 of each track mounting component 3 is the same as the number of conveying tracks 11 and they are connected one-to-one. The top of the mounting base 32 is provided with a track mounting groove 325 for the conveying track 11 connected to it to be inserted. The length direction of the mounting base 31 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying track 11. A plurality of base mounting grooves 311 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting base 31. The number of base mounting grooves 311 is the same as the number of mounting bases 32 and they are connected one-to-one. The bottom of the mounting base 32 is inserted into the corresponding base mounting groove 311. The track conveyor line of the present invention can simultaneously convey materials through multiple conveying tracks 11, thereby improving the material conveying efficiency. Moreover, the multiple conveying tracks 11 are all mounted on the same mounting base 31 through corresponding mounting bases 32, making the connection between the conveying tracks 11 reliable and easy to assemble and disassemble. Furthermore, since the mounting base 32 is provided with a track mounting groove 325 and the mounting base 31 is provided with a base mounting groove 311, the positioning of the conveying tracks 11 can be simple and reliable.

[0055] In one embodiment, three conveying tracks 11 are connected by two track mounting assemblies 3. Each track mounting assembly 3 includes three mounting bases 32 and one mounting base 31. The mounting bases 32 have track mounting grooves 325, and the groove walls of the track mounting grooves 325 serve as limiting surfaces. The conveying tracks 11 are inserted into the track mounting grooves 325 and abut against the groove walls. When installing the tracks, first assemble the mounting bases 32 with the three conveying tracks 11 respectively, connecting each end of each conveying track 11 to a mounting base 32. Then assemble the mounting base 31 with the mounting bases 32. The conveying tracks 11 can be vertically inserted into the track mounting grooves 325 and mounted on the mounting bases 32. The mounting bases 32 can be vertically inserted into the base mounting grooves 311 and mounted on the mounting base 31. When disassembling the conveying tracks 11, first pull the conveying tracks 11 horizontally to both sides, then lift them upwards.

[0056] In this regard, please combine Figure 2In one embodiment, among the plurality of mounting bases 32, the mounting bases 32 located on both sides are outer mounting bases, and the remaining mounting bases 32 are inner mounting bases. The two outer sidewalls of the outer mounting bases extending along the conveying direction are both first sidewalls 321, and the two first sidewalls 321 respectively abut against the two groove sidewalls of the corresponding base mounting grooves 311. The two outer sidewalls of the inner mounting bases extending along the conveying direction are both second sidewalls 322, and there is a gap between the two second sidewalls 322 and the groove sidewalls of the corresponding base mounting grooves 311. The two outer sidewalls of the outer mounting bases extending perpendicular to the conveying direction are third sidewalls 323, and the two outer sidewalls of the inner mounting bases extending perpendicular to the conveying direction are fourth sidewalls 324. One of the third sidewalls 323 and one of the fourth sidewalls 324 abut against the groove sidewalls of the corresponding base mounting grooves 311. During installation, the conveying rails 11 are first connected to the mounting bases 32 respectively, and then the mounting bases 32 are connected to the mounting base 31 in sequence. The two first sidewalls 321 of the outer mounting base 32 abut against the groove sidewalls of the corresponding rail mounting grooves 325. The two second sidewalls 322 of the inner mounting base have gaps between them and the groove sidewalls of the corresponding rail mounting grooves 325, so that the inner conveying rail 11 can slide along its conveying direction, providing space for the disassembly of the conveying rail 11. The conveying rail 11 can be removed without disassembling the short rail assembly, making maintenance convenient. The third sidewall 323 of the outer mounting base away from the conveying rail 11 abuts against the groove sidewall of the corresponding base mounting groove 311, and the fourth sidewall 324 of the inner mounting base away from the conveying rail 11 abuts against the groove sidewall of the corresponding base mounting groove 311.

[0057] Furthermore, the mounting base 32 is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 311 by a second bolt. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 311 has a first connecting hole 312 for the second bolt to pass through, and the mounting base 32 has a second connecting hole 326 for the second bolt to be screwed into. The first connecting hole 312 and the second connecting hole 326 are correspondingly provided. The mounting base 32 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 311 can be detachably connected by the second bolt. During assembly, the second bolt can be passed through the first connecting hole 312 on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 311 and screwed into the second connecting hole 326 on the mounting base 32, thereby fixing the mounting base 32 in the mounting groove 311.

[0058] In another embodiment, the conveying assembly 1 further includes a locking shaft and a track connecting plate 12. Each end of any two adjacent conveying tracks 11 is connected to a corresponding side of the track connecting plate 12. One end of the track connecting plate 12 is exposed at the end of the conveying track 11 and has a locking hole through which the locking shaft passes. Any two adjacent track connecting plates 12 are connected by the locking shaft. To make the connection of the conveying tracks 11 more secure and improve the structural performance of the conveying assembly 1, track connecting plates 12 can be provided at both ends of the conveying tracks 11. Each end of any two adjacent conveying tracks 11 has a pair of track connecting plates 12. The locking shaft passes through the locking holes on the paired track connecting plates 12, and the locking nut is screwed onto the locking shaft, thereby locking the paired track connecting plates 12. This allows the conveying tracks 11 to be connected sequentially via their sides.

[0059] In this configuration, a track connecting cover plate 13 is connected to the top of both ends of any two adjacent conveying tracks 11. To further enhance the connection of the conveying tracks 11 and improve the structural performance of the conveying assembly 1, track connecting cover plates 13 can be installed at the top of both ends of the conveying tracks 11. In any two adjacent conveying tracks 11, the top end of one conveying track 11 is connected to one end of the track connecting cover plate 13, and the top end of the other conveying track 11 is connected to the other end of the track connecting cover plate 13, thereby connecting the conveying tracks 11 sequentially through the top surface of the conveying tracks 11.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to achieve multiple functions, the conveying track 11 includes a connecting beam 111 and a long rail conveyor belt 112 movably mounted on the connecting beam 111. The connecting beam 111 extends along the conveying direction. The track mounting assembly 3 is located below the connecting beam 111. The number of mounting bases 32 is consistent with the number of connecting beams 111 and corresponds one-to-one. The connecting beam 111 is inserted into the corresponding track mounting groove 325 and connected to the bottom wall of the track mounting groove 325. Both side walls of the connecting beam 111 abut against the side walls of the track mounting groove 325. The conveying drive assembly 2 is used to drive the long rail conveyor belt 112 to move relative to the connecting beam 111 to convey materials. In this embodiment, the long rail conveyor belt 112 is movably mounted on the connecting beam 111. The connecting beam 111 is provided with a conveying shaft. The long rail conveyor belt 112 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the conveying shaft. The conveying drive assembly 2 can be mounted on the connecting beam 111 and drives the long rail conveyor belt 112 to move relative to the connecting beam 111 and convey materials. Both ends of the connecting beam 111 are inserted into the track mounting groove 325 and connected to the mounting base 32. Both side walls of the connecting beam 111 abut against the side wall of the track mounting groove 325.

[0061] In addition, in the above embodiment, the connecting beam 111 is connected to the bottom wall of the track mounting groove 325 by a first bolt. The bottom wall of the track mounting groove 325 has a third connecting hole 327 for the first bolt to pass through, and the connecting beam 111 has a fourth connecting hole 1112 for the first bolt to be screwed into. The third connecting hole 327 and the fourth connecting hole 1112 are correspondingly arranged. The mounting base 32 has a recessed groove on the side opposite to the track mounting groove 325 to accommodate the bolt head of the first bolt. The connecting beam 111 and the bottom wall of the track mounting groove 325 can be detachably connected by the first bolt. During installation, the first bolt can be passed through the third connecting hole 327 on the track mounting groove 325 and screwed into the fourth connecting hole 1112 on the connecting beam 111 to achieve reliable installation of the connecting beam 111.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The track conveyor line also includes driven components 4 with driven wheels 41. A driven component 4 is provided at each end of the connecting beam 111. The long rail conveyor belt 112 cooperates with the driven wheels 41 of the two driven components 4. The conveyor drive component 2 is used to drive the long rail conveyor belt 112 to move relative to the connecting beam 111, and to drive the driven wheels 41 to rotate relative to the connecting beam 111. To adjust the conveying reliability of the long rail conveyor belt 112, driven components 4 can be provided at both ends of the connecting beam 111. The driven wheels 41 on the driven components 4 cooperate with the long rail conveyor belt 112. When the conveyor drive component 2 drives the long rail conveyor belt 112, the driven wheels 41 at both ends of the connecting beam 111 can provide support for the long rail conveyor belt 112. The driven components 4 can be assembled as a whole, making coaxiality easy to ensure and disassembly simple. Furthermore, when the tracks are spliced, the track connecting plate 12 can be installed on the driven wheel 41 assembly.

[0063] Furthermore, the driven assembly 4 also includes a driven seat, which is connected to the end of the connecting beam 111. Each driven assembly 4 includes two driven wheels 41, which are spaced apart from top to bottom and are rotatably connected to the driven seat. The long rail conveyor belt 112 is sequentially wound around the outer periphery of the two driven wheels 41, wherein the outer periphery of the middle part of any one driven wheel 41 is larger than the outer periphery of its two ends. In one embodiment, each driven component 4 includes two driven wheels 41 spaced apart from top to bottom. The outer circumference of the middle part of the upper driven wheel 41 is larger than that of its two ends. It can adopt a three-section structure, that is, three rotating shafts are coaxially connected. The three rotating shafts can be an integral structure. The diameter of the rotating shaft in the middle is larger than that of the rotating shafts at both ends. This design can play a role in automatically correcting the deviation of the long rail conveyor belt 112. When the long rail conveyor belt 112 is tightened, the force exerted on the long rail conveyor belt 112 by the middle part of the upper driven wheel 41 is greater than that at the two ends of the driven wheel 41. Thus, the main force point is located in the middle position of the driven wheel 41, which can automatically correct the deviation of the belt. In addition, the two driven wheels 41 can be set closer together to prevent the two driven wheels 41 from competing with each other. The driven wheel 41 located below plays an auxiliary role and does not participate in the correction of the long rail conveyor belt 112.

[0064] Additionally, please combine Figure 1 The conveyor drive assembly 2 includes a drive base 21, a conveyor drive component 22, and a conveyor transmission component 23. The drive base 21 is detachably connected to the connecting beam 111. The conveyor drive component 22 is mounted on the drive base 21. The conveyor transmission component 23 is movably connected to the drive base 21 and cooperates with the long rail conveyor belt 112. The conveyor drive component 22 drives the conveyor transmission component 23 to move the long rail conveyor belt 112 relative to the connecting beam 111. The drive base 21 and the connecting beam 111 can be detachably connected by bolts. The conveyor transmission component 23 can be in the form of a drive shaft. The conveyor transmission component 23 cooperates with the long rail conveyor belt 112. The conveyor drive component 22 is mounted on the drive base 21 and drives the conveyor transmission component 23 to rotate relative to the connecting beam 111, thereby driving the long rail conveyor belt 112 to move relative to the connecting beam 111 to convey materials. The conveyor drive assembly 2 can be installed as a whole on the connecting beam 111. The belt is easy to disassemble from the motor assembly and is convenient to maintain.

[0065] Furthermore, please combine Figure 5 , 6The track conveyor also includes an identification component 5, which includes a fixed upper card seat 51, a fixed lower card seat 52, and an identification card 53 for identifying materials. A card seat mounting groove 1111 is provided on the connecting beam 111. The fixed upper card seat 51 is installed in the card seat mounting groove 1111, and the fixed upper card seat 51 and the groove wall of the card seat mounting groove 1111 form a slot. The slot opening is located on one side of the connecting beam 111. The identification card 53 is connected to the fixed lower card seat 52 to form an insert, which is inserted into the slot. To identify material information for further control of material conveying and loading, an identification component 5 can be set up. The identification component 5 includes a fixed upper card holder 51, a fixed lower card holder 52, and an identification card 53. The identification card 53 can be an RFID card. The fixed upper card holder 51 is fixed in the card holder mounting groove 1111 on the connecting beam 111 by screws, and forms a slot with the groove wall of the card holder mounting groove 1111. After the fixed upper card holder 51 is securely connected to the connecting beam 111, the top of the fixed upper card holder 51 is flush with the top of the connecting beam 111. The fixed lower card holder 52 is connected to the identification card 53 by screws to form a pluggable insert. The insert is inserted into the slot and fixed to the fixed upper card holder 51 by screws. When removing, the insert can be taken out of the slot without removing the long rail conveyor belt 112 or any other hanging parts. It is easy to disassemble and assemble. Moreover, the identification card 53 is located in the slot and is protected by the fixed upper card holder 51 and the fixed lower card holder 52.

[0066] Additionally, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the conveying track 11 further includes guide plates 113. A guide plate 113 is connected to each side of the connecting beam 111, and a long rail conveyor belt 112 is located between the two guide plates 113. The guide plates 113 have clearance holes corresponding to the slot openings of the slots and allowing the lower mounting bracket 52 to pass through. To facilitate material conveying, a guide plate 113 can be provided on each side of the connecting beam 111, and the long rail conveyor belt 112 is located between the two guide plates 113. The material on the long rail conveyor belt 112 is guided by the guide plates 113 on both sides of the long rail conveyor belt 112, thereby accurately conveying it to the destination position. Furthermore, to make the removal of the insert more convenient, clearance holes for the insert can be provided on the guide plates 113, with the clearance holes corresponding to the slot openings of the slots, so that the guide plates 113 do not need to be removed when removing or assembling the insert.

[0067] In this regard, please combine Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The conveying assembly 1 also includes an upper cover plate 14. The length direction of the connecting beam 111 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying track 11, and an upper cover plate 14 is provided on each opposite side of the connecting beam 111 extending along its length direction. The upper cover plate 14 covers the top of the long rail conveyor belt 112, and a guide channel 141 extending along the conveying direction and allowing materials to pass through is formed between the two upper cover plates 14. In order to cover the splicing gaps on the conveying assembly 1 and make the conveying track 11 look aesthetically pleasing, upper cover plates 14 can be provided above both sides of the connecting beam 111. The upper cover plates 14 extend along the length direction of the connecting beam 111, and a guide channel 141 for materials to pass through is formed between the two upper cover plates 14 above the connecting beam 111. The materials are conveyed by the long rail conveyor belt 112, and the materials can be smoothly guided to the destination position in the guide channel 141. In addition, a support for carrying materials can be provided. The support has a guide groove for the upper cover plate 14 to be inserted. Under the action of the upper cover plate 14, the support can be prevented from moving up and down and getting off the conveying track 11.

[0068] Furthermore, please combine Figure 4 , Figures 10 to 14 In order to achieve multiple functions, the rail conveyor line also includes a functional mechanism 6. The conveyor rail 11 is provided with a hanging plate 15, and the hanging plate 15 is provided with a hanging groove 151 extending in the vertical direction. The functional mechanism 6 includes multiple fixed seats 61 and multiple functional components 62. The fixed seat 61 includes a seat body 611 and an abutment body 612 connected to the top of the seat body 611. Each seat body 611 is equipped with a functional component 62. The seat body 611 is inserted into the hanging groove 151, and the abutment body 612 abuts against the top of the hanging plate 15. To facilitate quick assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the functional mechanism 6, all functional components 62 can be connected to the conveyor track 11 using a consistent connection method. For example, a hanging plate 15 is installed at the corresponding position on the conveyor track 11 where the functional component 62 needs to be installed. The functional component 62 is hung on the hanging plate 15 via a fixing seat 61. The seat body 611 of the fixing seat 61 is connected to the functional component 62. When the seat body 611 of the fixing seat 61 is inserted into the hanging groove 151 of the hanging plate 15 from top to bottom, the abutment body 612 of the fixing seat 61 abuts against the top of the hanging plate 15, and can be connected to the hanging plate 15 by bolts. When it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the functional component 62, simply remove the bolts between the abutment body 612 and the hanging plate 15, and remove the fixing seat 61 from bottom to top. It should be noted that the connection between the mounting plate 15 and the connecting beam 111 can be made by bolts. In one embodiment, the mounting plate 15 has two through holes and the connecting beam 111 has two corresponding threaded holes. The mounting plate 15 is inserted into the mounting groove of the connecting beam 111 and fixed with screws.

[0069] Furthermore, please combine Figure 4Among them, some functional components 62 are short rail conveying components 621. The short rail conveying components 621 are located between two adjacent conveying rails 11. The short rail conveying components 621 include short rail drive components, short rail transmission components and short rail conveying belts. The short rail drive components are installed on the base 611. The short rail transmission components are movably connected to the base 611 and cooperate with the short rail conveying belts. The short rail drive components are used to drive the short rail transmission components to move relative to the base 611 and drive the short rail conveying belts to convey materials. To enable materials to be transported between any two adjacent conveying tracks 11, a short rail conveying assembly 621 can be installed between any two adjacent conveying tracks 11. The short rail conveying assembly 621 includes a short rail drive member installed on a base 611, a short rail transmission member movably connected to the base 611, and a short rail conveyor belt that cooperates with the short rail transmission member. When it is necessary to transport materials from one conveying track 11 to an adjacent conveying track 11, the materials can be transported through the short rail conveying assembly 621 located between the two conveying tracks 11. The short rail drive member drives the short rail transmission member to move relative to the base 611, and the movement of the short rail transmission member drives the short rail conveyor belt to transport materials, so that the materials are transferred from one conveying track 11 to another adjacent conveying track 11.

[0070] Furthermore, some functional components 62 are track-changing components 622. Track-changing component 622 includes a track-changing drive and a track-changing component. The track-changing drive is mounted on the base 611, and the track-changing component is movably mounted on the base 611. The track-changing drive drives the track-changing component to move relative to the conveying track 11, and the track-changing component abuts against the material, causing the material to change track from the conveying track 11 to the inlet end of the short-track conveyor belt. To cooperate with the short-track conveyor component 621 in transporting materials, the track-changing component 622 can be positioned on the conveying track 11 near the short-track conveyor component 621. The track-changing drive is connected to the base 611, and the track-changing component is movably mounted on the base 611 and can be rotatably connected to the base 611. When it is necessary to transfer material from the conveying track 11 to the short-track conveyor component 621, the track-changing drive drives the track-changing component to move relative to the base 611, causing the track-changing component to abut against the material, thus changing track from the conveying track 11 to the inlet end of the short-track conveyor belt.

[0071] Furthermore, please combine Figure 4 , Figure 6A steering plate 16 is provided on the conveyor track 11. The steering plate 16 has a steering sidewall corresponding to the outlet end of the short rail conveyor belt. The steering sidewall is used to abut against the material output from the short rail conveyor belt to change the material's track onto the conveyor track 11. The steering plate 16 is located on the conveyor track 11 near the short rail conveyor assembly 621. When material from the short rail conveyor assembly 621 arrives on the conveyor track 11, the material abuts against the steering sidewall, which guides the material, allowing it to smoothly change track onto the conveyor track 11 and preventing material accumulation on the conveyor track 11. In addition, the steering sidewall can adopt an arc-shaped structure, which can further facilitate smoother material guidance.

[0072] Furthermore, please combine Figure 13 Among them, part of the functional component 62 is a braking component 623. The braking component 623 includes a braking drive and a braking component. The braking drive is mounted on the base 611, and the braking component is movably mounted on the base 611. The braking drive is used to drive the braking component to move relative to the conveying track 11, and to stop the material by contacting it with the material, or to release the material by disengaging the braking component from contact with the material. When it is necessary to pick up or put down the material on the conveying track 11, the braking component 623 can be set at the pick-up or put-down position. The braking drive of the braking component 623 is mounted on the base 611, and the braking component is movably mounted on the base 611 and can be rotatably connected to the base 611. When it is necessary to stop the material, the braking drive drives the braking component to move relative to the base 611, so that the braking component contacts the material to stop the material. When it is necessary to release the material, the braking drive drives the braking component to move relative to the base 611, so that the braking component disengages from contact with the material to release the material.

[0073] In one embodiment, the conveying track 11 has three tracks: a return track for rotating the holder, an operation track for the main module robot to manipulate the sample of the holder, and a main track for the holder to rotate and transfer to the operation track. When the holder runs on the main track to the braking component 623, the holder will pause briefly due to the action of the braking component 623. At this time, according to the needs of the main module, the optical coupler is used for identification to transfer the holder to the operation track or continue to release it. If the holder is transferred to the operation track, the track changing component 622 will change the direction of the holder for the first time. When the holder is close to the operation track, the steering plate 16 will change the direction for the second time. If it is not necessary to transfer to the operation track, the braking component 623 will release the holder directly.

[0074] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a fully automated sample analysis system, which includes the track conveyor line described above. The specific structure of the track conveyor line in this fully automated sample analysis system is as described in the above embodiments. Since this fully automated sample analysis system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.
