[0033] Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the application environment of the present invention is described first. The technology of the present invention is mainly applied to the field of test tube labeling technology. The present invention solves the problem that when the test tube conveying system used in the prior art transports the test tube to the labeling mechanism, the posture of the test tube discharged from the tube discharging mechanism when arriving at the labeling mechanism cannot be detected by the detection device of the labeling mechanism, resulting in the labeling mechanism being unable to perform the labeling operation, thereby causing the intelligent test tube labeling machine to discharge the unlabeled test tube.

[0034] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a tube discharging mechanism of an intelligent test tube labeling machine, comprising:

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a conveying module is used to transport a test tube 13, and the conveying module includes a driving component and a transmission component. The transmission component is provided with a limiting component 6 for resisting or hanging a tube cap; a detection component is used to detect the posture of the test tube 13, and the detection component includes a first detection element 7 and a second detection element 8. The first detection element 7 and the second detection element 8 are sequentially arranged on both sides of the limiting component 6 along the transmission direction of the conveying module, the first detection element 7 is used to detect the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 is used to detect the tube body signal of the test tube 13; a flipping component is used to flip the test tube 13, and the flipping component includes a flipping driving component 10 and a flipping component 9. The flipping component 9 is used to hold the test tube 13, and the flipping driving component 10 is used to drive the flipping component 9 to rotate so that the test tube 13 is flipped and adjusted in posture; wherein, when the first detection element 7 has a signal and the second detection element 8 has a signal, the flipping component performs a flipping action of the test tube 13.

[0036] In this embodiment, the present application uses the limiting component 6 to block or hang the tube cap of the test tube 13, and uses the first detection element 7 and the second detection element 8 to cooperate to detect whether the posture of the test tube 13 when it is out of the tube meets the preset test tube 13 posture when the labeling mechanism performs the labeling operation. When the tube cap of the test tube 13 is blocked by the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 does not detect the tube body signal of the test tube 13, then it is judged that the tube posture of the test tube 13 is correct, and the test tube 13 can smoothly enter the next transportation process of the intelligent test tube labeling machine. The next conveying mechanism of the tube outlet mechanism of the intelligent test tube labeling machine extracts the test tube 13 with the correct posture on the tube outlet mechanism and conveys it to the printing and labeling mechanism for printing and labeling. The printer used by the printing and labeling mechanism proposed in this application is an RFID printer, and the label is provided with an IC chip card, and the RF The ID printer can write the diagnosis and treatment information of a specific user into the IC chip card, so that medical staff can quickly check the diagnosis and treatment information of the current user; when the cap of the test tube 13 is caught by the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 detects the cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 detects the body signal of the test tube 13, then it is judged that the test tube 13 is in the reverse position when it comes out of the tube, and at this time, the flipping drive component 10 is triggered to drive the flipping component 9 to rotate, and the flipping component 9 is used to support the test tube 13 and flip it, so as to flip the test tube 13 to the correct position when it comes out of the tube; when the first detection element 7 does not detect the cap signal, and the second detection element 8 detects the body signal, then it is judged that the current test tube 13 is a test tube 13 without a cap, and the current test tube 13 no longer performs the flipping action or enters the next transportation process, and the conveying module proposed by the present application drops the current test tube 13 from the conveying end of the conveying module. Through the technical solution of the present application, it is ensured that the posture of the test tube 13 discharged from the tube discharging mechanism when arriving at the labeling mechanism can be detected by the detection device of the labeling mechanism, and the labeling operation can be carried out smoothly. It has the beneficial effect of preventing the test tube 13 from arriving at the labeling mechanism but not being detected by the detection device of the labeling mechanism, thereby avoiding the inability to carry out the labeling operation and invalid tube discharge.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the conveying module includes a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly. The first conveying assembly includes a first driving component 1 and a first transmission component 2 , and the second conveying assembly includes a second driving component 4 and a second transmission component 5 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a fixed plate 14 for mounting a conveying module is provided on the support of the labeling machine. The first conveying assembly drives the first transmission component 2 to rotate through the first driving component 1. The first conveying assembly is used to transport the test tube 13 to the position on the fixed plate 14 where the detection component is located to detect the test tube 13 and determine whether the posture of the test tube 13 when it is out of the tube is correct. The first transmission component 2 includes a plurality of transmission wheels 3 uniformly arranged on the fixed plate 14 along the transmission direction of the transmission module. The transmission wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 14. The transmission wheel 3 includes a matching portion 301 for cooperating with the output shaft of the first driving component 1 through a belt for transmission, and a bearing portion 302 for carrying the test tube 13. The second transmission assembly includes a second driving component 4 and a second transmission component 5. The second driving component 4 is used to drive the second transmission component 5 to rotate. The second transmission component 5 includes two transmission wheels 3 uniformly arranged on the fixed plate 14 along the transmission direction of the transmission module. The transmission wheel 3 described in the second transmission component 5 has the same specifications as the transmission wheel 3 described in the first transmission component 2. The second transmission component 5 is used to drop the test tube 13 without a tube cap, that is, the abnormal test tube 13, from the conveying module into the abnormal tube recovery bucket.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the limiting component 6 is disposed between the transmission end of the first transmission component 2 and the transmission start end of the second transmission component 5 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the limiting component 6 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 14, and the limiting component 6 is arranged between the transmission end of the first transmission component 2 and the transmission start end of the second transmission component 5. An arc-shaped groove for the test tube 13 to pass through is opened on the limiting component 6, and the limiting component 6 also includes a limiting plane for resisting or hanging the cap of the test tube 13.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first driving component 1 is a stepping motor, and the first driving component 1 is used to drive the first transmission component 2 to transmit in a forward direction or a reverse direction.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first driving component 1 is a stepping motor having forward and reverse rotation functions. When the tube cap of the test tube 13 is caught by the limiting component 6, the first detecting element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detecting element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, the first driving component 1 and the second driving component 4 both stop forward rotation, the first driving component 1 starts reverse rotation and stops reverse rotation after a preset reverse rotation time. While the first driving component 1 rotates in the reverse direction, it drives the first transmission component 2 in the reverse direction through a belt. The reverse transmission of the first transmission component 2 reversely transmits the tube 13 to be tested on the first transmission component 2, and sufficient test tube 13 accommodating space is reserved on the first transmission component 2 for the current test tube 13. After the first driving component 1 stops reversing, the flipping driving component 10 drives the flipping component 9 to rotate, and the test tube 13 is flipped to the test tube 13 storage space reserved on the first transmission component 2 through the flipping component 9.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the second driving component 4 is a stepping motor, and the second driving component 4 is used to drive the second transmission component 5 to transmit in a forward direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second driving component 4 is a stepping motor, and the second driving component 4 only has a unidirectional rotation function. When the cap of the test tube 13 is caught by the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 detects the cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 detects the body signal of the test tube 13, the second driving component 4 maintains the working state of forward rotation, and the first driving component 1 stops forward rotation. When the first detection element 7 does not detect the cap signal of the test tube 13, but the second detection element 8 detects the body signal of the test tube 13, the second driving component 4 is used to drop the test tube 13 without the cap from the transmission end on the second transmission component 5 into the abnormal tube recovery bucket.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first detection element 7 is arranged between the transmission end of the first transmission component 2 and the limiting component 6 , and the second detection element 8 is arranged between the limiting component 6 and the transmission start end of the second transmission component 5 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the distance between the two adjacent transmission wheels 3 proposed in the present application is greater than the tube cap of the test tube 13, the first detection element 7 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 14, and the first detection element 7 is arranged between the transmission end of the first transmission component 2 and the limiting component 6, the second detection element 8 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 14, and the second detection element 8 is arranged between the two transmission wheels 3 of the second transmission component 5, the heights of the first detection element 7 and the second detection element 8 are consistent with the height of the bearing portion 302 of the transmission wheel 3, when the first transmission component transfers the test tube 13 to the test tube 13, the first detection element 7 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 14, and the second detection element 8 is arranged between the two transmission wheels 3 of the second transmission component 5, and the heights of the first detection element 7 and the second detection element 8 are consistent with the height of the bearing portion 302 of the transmission wheel 3. When the tube 13 is transported to the position where the limiting component 6 is located, if the limiting component 6 blocks the tube cap of the test tube 13, and the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 does not detect the tube body signal of the test tube 13, then the test tube 13 is in a correct posture when it comes out of the tube, and the test tube 13 is taken away from the first conveying component by the next conveying mechanism of the intelligent test tube labeling machine, and the test tube 13 enters the next conveying process; if the limiting component 6 hangs the tube cap of the test tube 13, and the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13 When the tube body signal of the test tube 13 is detected, the posture of the test tube 13 out of the tube is reversed, the first driving component 1 stops rotating, the second driving component 4 keeps rotating, the first driving component 1 starts to rotate in the reverse direction and drives the first transmission component 2 to transmit in the reverse direction. Since the distance between the transmission wheels 3 is greater than the height of the cap of the test tube 13, when the first transmission component 2 is transmitting in the reverse direction, the current test tube 13 will not be transmitted back with the first transmission component 2. The first driving component 1 stops after the preset reverse rotation time, and the first transmission component 2 reserves enough accommodation space for the current test tube 13. , the flip component starts to work, and the flip driving component 10 drives the flip component 9 to rotate, and the flip component 9 holds the tail of the test tube 13 to flip the test tube 13. After the flip component 9 stops working, the first transmission component is restarted to drive forward, and the posture of the test tube 13 is checked again. Whether it is correct; when the first detection element 7 does not detect the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, the abnormal test tube 13 without a tube cap is dropped from the transmission end of the second transmission component 5 to the abnormal tube recovery bucket through the second transmission component 5.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the flipping assembly also includes a first position detection sensor 11 and a second position detection sensor 12. The first position detection sensor 11 and the second position detection sensor 12 are both arranged on the flipping driving component 10. When the flipping component 9 is in the first position, the first position detection sensor 11 has a signal. When the flipping component 9 is in the second position, the second position detection sensor 12 has a signal.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second position detection sensor 12 is at the same level as the limit component 6, the first transmission component 2 and the second transmission component 5. The second position detection sensor 12 is fixed to the flip drive component 10 by a fastener and is arranged opposite to the limit component 6. The first position detection sensor 11 and the second position detection sensor 12 are offset in both vertical height and horizontal distance. The first position detection sensor 11 is fixed to the flip drive component 10 by a fastener. When the first position detection sensor 11 detects a signal from the flip component 9, the flip component 9 is in the first position, that is, the initial position of the flip component 9 performing the flipping action of the test tube 13. When the first detection element 7 detects the cap signal of the test tube 13 and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, the first transmission component 2 stops forward transmission and the second transmission component 5 maintains the current forward transmission working state, triggering the first drive component 1 to drive the first transmission component 2 to reverse transmission, and reserve the accommodation space for the current test tube 13 after flipping. The first drive component 1 stops after the preset time of reverse rotation, and the flip drive component 10 drives the flip component 9 to flip from the first position to the second position. The detection sensor 12 has a signal. At this time, the flip component 9 is in the second position, that is, the end position of the flip component 9 completing the flipping action of the test tube 13. The first position detection sensor 11 and the second position detection sensor 12 provide control signals to the system by detecting the position signal of the flip component 9, and the system issues a control instruction to control the flip drive component 10 to perform forward or reverse rotation.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the flipping component 9 includes a connecting portion 901 and a trustee portion 902, the connecting portion 901 is connected to the output shaft of the flipping driving component 10, the trustee portion 902 is connected to the connecting portion 901, the trustee portion 902 is used to hold the test tube 13 when the flipping driving component 10 drives the flipping component 9 to rotate, the initial position of the trustee portion 902 is located at the transmission end of the second transmission component 5, and the flipping driving component 10 is used to drive the flipping component 9 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 901 is configured as an arc-shaped sheet structure, one end of the connecting portion 901 is connected to the output shaft of the flip driving component 10, and the end of the connecting portion 901 away from the flip driving component 10 is connected to the trustee portion 902, and the trustee portion 902 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for abutting against the tube body of the test tube 13. The arc-shaped groove is provided on the trustee portion 902 so that when the flipping component 9 lifts the test tube 13 to flip, it can reduce the sliding deviation of the test tube 13 on the trustee portion 902, thereby reducing the risk of the test tube 13 falling from the trustee portion 902 during the flipping process. When the flipping component 9 is in the first position, that is, when the first position detection sensor 11 has a signal, the trustee portion 902 is located at the transmission end of the second transmission component 5. When the test tube 13 is flipped, the first position detection sensor 11 has a signal. When the test tube 13 is in an incorrect tube-out posture, that is, the tube cap of the test tube 13 is caught by the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13 and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, the tube body of the test tube 13 abuts and cooperates with the groove on the trusteeship portion 902, and the flipping drive component 10 drives the flipping component 9 to rotate from the first position to the second position, completing the flipping correction action of the incorrect posture of the test tube 13; the flipping drive component 10 is configured as a two-phase stepping motor with forward and reverse rotation functions. When rotating forward, the flipping component 9 is rotated from the first position to the second position for flipping the test tube 13, and when rotating reversely, the flipping component 9 is rotated from the second position to the first position, waiting for the next test tube 13 flipping instruction.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first transmission component 2 and the second transmission component 5 include a plurality of transmission wheels 3 evenly arranged along the transmission direction of the conveying module, and the distance between two adjacent transmission wheels 3 is greater than the cap of the test tube 13 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent transmission wheels 3 is larger than the cap of the test tube 13, which has the beneficial effect of allowing the cap of the test tube 13 that falls off the conveying module to fall out of the system during the conveying process without causing control interference to the system.

[0053] The method for detecting and processing the test tube 13 posture of the intelligent test tube labeling machine shown in the embodiment of the present application includes at least steps S110 to S130, which are described in detail as follows:

[0054] Step S110, when the first detection element 7 has a signal and the second detection element 8 has no signal, the test tube 13 is in a correct posture when it is taken out of the test tube, and the test tube 13 enters the next test tube 13 transportation process of the intelligent test tube labeling machine.

[0055] Exemplarily, when the first detection element 7 detects the cap signal of the test tube 13, but the second detection element 8 does not detect the body signal of the test tube 13, the conveying system on the intelligent test tube labeling machine removes the test tube 13 on the conveying module of the present application and enters the next test tube 13 transportation process.

[0056] Step S120, when the first detection element 7 has a signal and the second detection element 8 has a signal, the test tube 13 is in an incorrect posture when it is taken out of the tube, and the flipping assembly performs a flipping action on the test tube 13.

[0057] Exemplarily, when the tube cap of the test tube 13 is caught by the limiting component 6, and the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13 and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, the system determines that the tube outlet posture of the test tube 13 is reversed, and the first detection element 7 and the second detection element 8 provide control signals for the system, and the system issues control instructions to control the flipping component to execute the flipping action of the test tube 13, thereby realizing the flipping correction action of the wrong tube outlet posture of the test tube 13.

[0058] Step S130, when the first detection element 7 has no signal and the second detection element 8 has a signal, the test tube 13 is abnormal, and the second conveying component discharges the abnormal test tube 13, and the abnormal test tube 13 falls from the conveying end of the second conveying component.

[0059] Exemplarily, when the test tube 13 passes through the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 does not detect the cap signal of the test tube 13, but the second detection element 8 detects the body signal of the test tube 13, the system records once whether there is a test tube 13 with a cap passing through, that is, an abnormal test tube 13. The cap dropped from the abnormal test tube 13 is adjusted out of the conveying system from the distance interval between the transmission wheels 3 to avoid control interference to the system. The second transmission component drops the abnormal test tube 13 from the end of the conveying and enters the abnormal test tube 13 recovery bucket.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, when the first detection element 7 has a signal and the second detection element 8 has a signal, the test tube 13 has an incorrect posture when it comes out of the tube, and the flipping assembly performs a flipping action of the test tube 13 including at least steps S210 to S240.

[0061] Step S210: the first transmission assembly stops working, and the second transmission assembly maintains a forward transmission working state.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first conveying assembly stops working, and the second conveying assembly maintains the current forward transmission working state, so as to prevent the test tubes 13 to be inspected on the conveying system from being stacked on the tube discharging mechanism and causing control interference to the system.

[0063] Step S220, the first conveying component drives in the reverse direction, and the first conveying component stops after driving in the reverse direction for a preset time.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first conveying assembly stops after a preset time of reverse transmission, and the tubes 13 to be tested on the first conveying assembly are reversely transmitted, and storage space is reserved on the first transmission component 2 for the test tubes 13 with the current wrong posture.

[0065] Step S230, the flip driving component 10 drives the flip component 9 to rotate forward and lift the test tube 13 to flip from the first position to the second position and stop.

[0066] Exemplarily, the flipping drive component 10 starts forward rotation, driving the flipping component 9 to rotate from the first position to the second position, thereby realizing the flipping correction action of the incorrect tube-out posture of the test tube 13. After the flipping component 9 flips to the second position and the second position detection sensor 12 has a signal, the flipping drive component 10 stops forward rotation.

[0067] Step S240: the flip driving component 10 drives the flip component 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the flip component 9 flips from the second position to the first position and stops.

[0068] Exemplarily, the second position detection sensor 12 provides a control signal to the system, and the system issues instructions to control the flipping drive component 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the flipping component 9 rotates in the opposite direction from the second position to the first position. That is, when the first position detection sensor 11 has a signal, the flipping drive component 10 stops rotating in the opposite direction, and the flipping component waits for the next flipping operation.

[0069] Working principle: the present application transmits the test tube 13 to the position where the detection component is located through the first transmission component to detect whether the tube outlet posture of the test tube 13 is correct. When the test tube 13 is transported to the limiting component 6, the test tube 13 with the tube cap is blocked by the limiting component 6 or the tube cap of the test tube 13 is hung. When the tube cap of the test tube 13 is blocked by the limiting component 6, the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 does not detect the tube body signal of the test tube 13, then it is judged that the current tube outlet posture of the test tube 13 is correct, and the transmission system of the intelligent labeling machine takes away the test tube 13 on the tube outlet mechanism transmission module proposed in the present application, and enters the next test tube 13 transportation process. The transmission system transmits the test tube 13 to the printing and labeling mechanism for The printing and labeling operation is performed. The printer used by the printing and labeling mechanism proposed in the present application is an RFID printer. An IC chip card is provided on the label. The RFID printer can write the diagnosis and treatment information of a specific user into the IC chip card, so that medical staff can quickly check the diagnosis and treatment information of the current user; when the tube cap of the test tube 13 is hung by the limiting component 6, and the first detection element 7 detects the tube cap signal of the test tube 13, and the second detection element 8 detects the tube body signal of the test tube 13, it is determined that the current test tube 13 is out of the tube in the reverse position, and the first drive component 1 and the second drive component 4 both stop forward rotation, and the first drive component 1 starts reverse rotation, and the first transmission component 2 is driven to reversely transmit through the reverse rotation of the first drive component 1, The remaining test tubes 13 to be tested on the first transmission component 2 are driven in the reverse direction to reserve a storage space for the current test tube 13 after flipping and adjusting. The first driving component 1 stops rotating in the reverse direction after a preset time of the reverse rotation system, and the flip assembly starts working. The flip driving component 10 rotates forward to drive the flip component 9 to rotate from the first position to the second position. After the flip component 9 signal is detected by the second position detection sensor 12, the flip driving component 10 stops rotating forward, that is, the flipping action of the test tube 13 is completed. The second position detection sensor 12 provides a control signal to the system, and the system issues a control instruction to control the flip driving component 10 to rotate in the reverse direction. The flip driving component 10 drives the flip component 9 to rotate in the reverse direction from the second position. When the first detection element 7 does not detect the cap signal of the test tube 13 and the second detection element 8 detects the body signal of the test tube 13, it is determined that the current test tube 13 is a test tube 13 without a cap, and the limiting component 6 will not resist or hang the test tube 13. The test tube 13 falls from the transmission end of the second transmission component 5 into the abnormal test tube 13 recovery bucket. The test tube 13 cap of the abnormal test tube 13 that falls on the transmission module falls out of the system through the distance interval set between the transmission wheels 3, and does not cause control interference to the system.Through the technical solution of the present application, it is ensured that the posture of the test tube 13 discharged from the tube discharging mechanism when arriving at the labeling mechanism can be detected by the detection device of the labeling mechanism, and the labeling operation can be carried out smoothly. It has the beneficial effect of preventing the test tube 13 from arriving at the labeling mechanism but not being detected by the detection device of the labeling mechanism, thereby avoiding the inability to carry out the labeling operation and invalid tube discharge.
