Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of reagent kit assembly technology, and more particularly to a reagent kit assembly line and assembly production method. Background Technology

[0002] Diagnostic kits can perform qualitative and quantitative detection of substances in body fluids, blood, and other substances that reflect health status. Currently, there is a type of kit... Figure 1 The reagent kit 1 shown includes a box body 11, a cover plate 12, and a magnetic bead bottle assembly 13. The box body 11 has mounting holes 111 and multiple blind holes 112 spaced side-by-side. The cover plate 12 is welded to the blind holes 112. The magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 is installed within the mounting holes 111. The magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 includes a magnetic bead bottle body 131 and a rubber stopper 132, with the rubber stopper 132 covering the opening of the magnetic bead bottle body 121. The blind holes 112 are used to store test reagents, and the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 contains magnetic bead reagents. The bottom of the box body 11 has a snap-fit ​​mechanism on one side, and the cover plate 12 has a positioning pin on the side closest to the box body 11. The top of the box body 11 has a positioning hole on the side closest to the cover plate 12, and the positioning hole and positioning pin cooperate with each other.

[0003] The assembly of the existing reagent kit 1 is mainly completed by two separate devices. One device welds the cover plate 12 to the box body 11, and the other device assembles the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 to the box body 11. In addition, there are separate unpacking devices, detection devices, packaging devices, etc. The current method of assembling reagent kit 1 using separate devices requires a lot of manpower for transportation, feeding, etc., resulting in low automation and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a reagent kit assembly line and assembly production method with high production efficiency and high yield.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A reagent kit assembly production line includes a first conveying mechanism, a sealing detection unit, and a second conveying mechanism arranged in sequence. The first conveying mechanism is provided with a box feeding unit, a cover plate feeding unit, a welding unit, and an appearance inspection unit in sequence. The second conveying mechanism is provided with a reagent kit assembly unit. A first buffer conveyor belt is provided between the first conveying mechanism and the sealing detection unit, and a second buffer conveyor belt is provided between the sealing detection unit and the second conveying mechanism.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] The reagent kit assembly production line also includes a packaging unit and a palletizing unit. The assembled reagent kits are packaged in the packaging unit and then palletized in the palletizing unit.

[0009] The reagent kit assembly line also includes a magnetic bead bottle assembly unit, which is used to assemble the magnetic bead bottle body and the rubber stopper into a magnetic bead bottle assembly.

[0010] The reagent kit assembly production line is equipped with a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm. The first robotic arm is used to pick up the combined cup assembly from the first buffer conveyor belt to the airtightness testing unit, and the second robotic arm is used to pick up the combined cup assembly from the airtightness testing unit to the second buffer conveyor belt.

[0011] The first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are both circulating synchronous belts.

[0012] The sealing detection unit includes an airtightness detection device, which includes a pre-leakage buffer mechanism, a leak detection station, and a post-leakage conveying mechanism. The pre-leakage buffer mechanism buffers multiple combined cup components and then conveys them to the leak detection station for pressure testing. After pressure testing, the combined cup components are transferred to the post-leakage conveying mechanism.

[0013] The reagent kit assembly unit includes a reagent kit assembly device, a reagent kit assembly effect detection device, a sixth rejection device, and a reagent kit unloading device. The reagent kit assembly device is used to assemble the magnetic bead bottle assembly and the combination cup assembly into a reagent kit. The reagent kit assembly effect detection device is used to detect the assembly effect and determine whether the height difference between the detected magnetic bead bottle assembly and the upper surface of the combination cup assembly meets the preset value. If it does not meet the preset value, it is rejected by the sixth rejection device; if it meets the preset value, it is unloaded by the reagent kit unloading device.

[0014] The reagent kit assembly line also includes a magnetic bead bottle assembly unit, which includes a rotary indexing plate or turntable, with the magnetic bead bottle body mounted on the clamp of the indexing plate.

[0015] As a general inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for assembling and manufacturing a reagent kit, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1, Assemble the box and cover;

[0017] S2, Weld the box body and the cover plate together to form a combined cup assembly;

[0018] S3, Perform appearance quality inspection on the combined cup assembly. If the inspection result is unqualified, it shall be rejected; otherwise, proceed to step S4.

[0019] S4, arrange multiple qualified combination cup components so that the spacing between adjacent combination cup components is the same;

[0020] S5. Perform an airtightness test on the combined cup assembly. If the test result is unqualified, it will be rejected; otherwise, proceed to step S6.

[0021] S6, arrange multiple combination cup components so that the spacing between adjacent combination cup components is the same;

[0022] S7. Assemble the magnetic bead bottle assembly onto the combination cup assembly to obtain the reagent kit.

[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0024] Step S1 also includes unpacking and disassembling the packaged box and cover plate respectively.

[0025] Between steps S1 and S2, the assembly effect of the box and the cover is also checked. If the test result is unqualified, the box is rejected; otherwise, step S2 is executed.

[0026] The steps preceding step S1 include a box inspection step and a cover plate inspection step;

[0027] The box inspection process includes the following steps:

[0028] A1, Loading the box body;

[0029] A2, Inspect the buckles of the box;

[0030] A3, if the test result is unqualified, it will be rejected; otherwise, it will be qualified and proceed to the next process.

[0031] The cover plate inspection step includes the following steps:

[0032] B1, for loading the cover plate;

[0033] B2, Inspect the locating pins of the cover plate;

[0034] B3: If the test result is unqualified, the product will be rejected; otherwise, it will be considered qualified and proceed to the next process.

[0035] The magnetic bead bottle assembly is obtained through the following steps:

[0036] C1, Load the magnetic bead bottle body and the rubber stopper separately;

[0037] C2, assemble the magnetic bead bottle body and the rubber stopper to obtain the magnetic bead bottle assembly;

[0038] C3: Inspect the assembly effect. If the inspection result is unqualified, the product is rejected; otherwise, it is qualified.

[0039] Step S7 is followed by packaging and palletizing multiple reagent kits.

[0040] After step S7, the kit assembly effect is tested. If the test result is unqualified, the kit is discarded; otherwise, it is qualified.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] The applicant discovered that due to the high failure rate of cap welding, the common practice is to first weld the cap onto the blind hole to obtain the combined cup assembly, and then install the magnetic bead bottle assembly into the mounting hole of the combined cup assembly to obtain the reagent kit. Before and after the airtightness test of the combined cup assembly, a robotic arm directly picks up the qualified combined cup assembly for the next process. If the cap welding fails, or the welding quality test or the airtightness test fails, the unqualified combined cup assembly must be rejected, and the robotic arm picks up the qualified combined cup assembly for the next process. However, the empty spaces left by the rejected combined cup assembly can cause the robotic arm to fail to pick up the assembly, affecting the progress of the next process and resulting in low production efficiency. The reagent kit assembly production line of this invention has a first buffer conveyor belt between the sealing test unit and the appearance test unit, and a second buffer conveyor belt between the sealing test unit and the second conveying mechanism. The two buffer conveyor belts arrange multiple combined cup assemblies sequentially until the spacing between adjacent combined cup assemblies is the same, eliminating the empty spaces left by the rejected combined cup assemblies and facilitating the smooth progress of the next process.

[0043] The reagent kit assembly and production method of the present invention arranges multiple combination cup components with equal spacing between adjacent combination cup components before and after airtightness testing, eliminating empty spaces in rejected combination cup components and facilitating smooth subsequent processes. This solves the technical problem of empty spaces in rejected combination cup components affecting the next process, and also possesses the advantages of the reagent kit assembly production line of the present invention, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the present invention incorporates multiple tests during assembly, increasing the yield of the finished product. Attached Figure Description

[0055] Example 1:

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, a reagent kit assembly production line of this embodiment includes a first conveying mechanism 35, a sealing detection unit 27, and a second conveying mechanism 36 arranged sequentially. The first conveying mechanism 35 is provided with a box loading unit 21, a cover loading unit 22, a welding unit 24, and an appearance inspection unit 25 in sequence. The second conveying mechanism 36 is provided with a reagent kit assembly unit 29. A first buffer conveyor belt 26 is provided between the first conveying mechanism 35 and the sealing detection unit 27, and a second buffer conveyor belt 28 is provided between the sealing detection unit 27 and the second conveying mechanism 36. In the reagent kit assembly production line of the present invention, the first buffer conveyor belt 26 is provided between the sealing detection unit 27 and the appearance inspection unit 25, and the second buffer conveyor belt 28 is provided between the sealing detection unit 27 and the second conveying mechanism 36. The two buffer conveyor belts sequentially arrange multiple combination cup assemblies until the spacing between adjacent combination cup assemblies is the same, eliminating empty spaces of rejected combination cup assemblies and facilitating the smooth progress of the next process.

[0057] The reagent kit assembly production line also includes a packaging unit 31 and a palletizing unit 32. The assembled reagent kit 1 is packaged in the packaging unit 31 and then palletized in the palletizing unit 32.

[0058] The reagent kit assembly line also includes a magnetic bead bottle assembly unit 33, which is used to assemble the magnetic bead bottle body 131 and the rubber stopper 132 into a magnetic bead bottle assembly 13.

[0059] The reagent kit assembly line is equipped with a first robot 271 and a second robot 274. The first robot 271 is used to pick up the combined cup assembly from the first buffer conveyor belt 26 to the sealing detection unit 27, and the second robot 274 is used to pick up the combined cup assembly from the sealing detection unit 27 to the second buffer conveyor belt 28.

[0060] The box body feeding unit 21 and the cover plate feeding unit 22 are respectively used to feed the box body 11 and the cover plate 12 to the cover plate pressing unit 23. After the box body 11 and the cover plate 12 are pressed by the cover plate pressing unit 23, they are conveyed to the welding unit 24 and welded together to form a combined cup assembly.

[0061] The appearance inspection unit 25 is used to inspect and screen out qualified combination cup components. Multiple qualified combination cup components are arranged sequentially on the first buffer conveyor belt 26. The empty spaces of the rejected unqualified combination cup components are filled with qualified combination cup components to achieve the same spacing between adjacent combination cup components.

[0062] The sealing detection unit 27 is used to detect and screen out the airtightness qualified combination cup assemblies. Multiple combination cup assemblies are arranged sequentially on the second buffer conveyor belt 28. The empty spaces of the rejected unqualified combination cup assemblies are filled with qualified combination cup assemblies to achieve the same spacing between adjacent combination cup assemblies.

[0063] The reagent kit assembly unit 29 installs the magnetic bead bottle 131 onto the combination cup assembly to obtain reagent kit 1. The packaging unit 31 vacuum packs multiple reagent kits 1 together, and the palletizing unit 32 pallets them for the next step of transfer.

[0064] The reagent kit production and assembly line in this embodiment also includes a depackaging unit 34, where workers use forklifts to move stacks of materials to the depackaging unit 34 for depackaging and preparation for loading.

[0065] In this embodiment, the unpacking unit 34 includes a box destacking device 341 and a box unpacking device 342. The box destacking device 341 destackings the boxes, and the robot grabs the whole package to the box unpacking device 342. The unpacked product is then transported by the robot to the box loading unit 21.

[0066] In this embodiment, the box feeding unit 21 includes a box arranging device 211, a box conveying device 212, and a box feeding device 213. After the box arranging device 211 arranges the box 11, it is conveyed by the box conveying device 212 to the box feeding device 213. The box feeding device 213 is used to feed the box 11 to the cover plate pressing unit 23.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cover plate feeding unit 22 includes a cover plate feeding bin 221, a cover plate distributing device 222, a cover plate positioning pin detection device 223, a first rejection device 224, and a cover plate pre-assembly device 225. The cover plate 12 material is manually transported to the cover plate feeding bin 221 and then to the cover plate distributing device 222 for distributing. The cover plate 12 is picked up by a robot and sent to the cover plate positioning pin detection device 223 for positioning pin quality inspection (detecting whether the positioning pin exists, whether it is broken, or whether it is bent. If it exists and is not broken or bent, it is a good product). Defective products are rejected by the first rejection device 224, and good products are pre-assembled by the cover plate pre-assembly device 225 and the box 11 and then transported to the cover plate pressing unit 23 for pressing.

[0068] In this embodiment, the pre-assembled box body 11 and cover plate 12 are installed on the positioning fixture of the first conveying mechanism 35 and are sequentially conveyed to the cover plate pressing unit 23, welding unit 24 and appearance inspection unit 25 for their respective processes.

[0069] The first conveying mechanism 35 and the second conveying mechanism 36 are respectively circulating (rotary) synchronous belts. The cover plate pressing unit 23, welding unit 24, and appearance inspection unit 25 are arranged along the movement direction of the circulating synchronous belt, which effectively utilizes space. In some embodiments, multiple welding units 24 and appearance inspection units 25 can be set at the same time to improve production efficiency. Compared with the straight synchronous belt, the setting of the circulating synchronous belt makes more effective use of the factory area, greatly increases production capacity when the production space is limited, and can produce more products in the same amount of time.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 35 is a circulating synchronous steel belt, and the second conveying mechanism 36 is a circulating synchronous belt. The circulating synchronous steel belt has higher motion accuracy than the circulating synchronous belt, which is more conducive to the precision welding of the subsequent welding unit 24.

[0071] In this embodiment, the box conveying device 212 is a conveyor belt.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cover plate pressing unit 23 includes a pressing device 231, a pressing effect detection device 232, and a second rejection device 233. The pressing device 231 presses the pre-installed cover plate 12 and the box body 11 together. The pressing effect detection device 232 detects the pressing effect (whether the cover plate 12 is pressed to the preset position of the box body 11, and whether there is a situation where it is not pressed in. If the cover plate 12 is pressed in and reaches the preset height position of the box body 11, it is a qualified product). Unqualified products are rejected by the second rejection device 233, and qualified products are transported to the welding unit 24 for welding.

[0073] The welding unit 24 is used for ultrasonic welding of qualified combined cup assemblies. In this embodiment, three welding units 24 are arranged in parallel at the first conveying mechanism 35 to facilitate faster welding of multiple combined cup assemblies.

[0074] After ultrasonic welding, the combined cup assembly undergoes welding quality inspection in the appearance inspection unit 25. The appearance inspection unit 25 includes a visual inspection device 251, a third rejection device 252, and a good part unloading device 253. The visual inspection device 251 performs CCD inspection on the welding effect (inspecting whether the cover plate 12 is cracked, whether the contact between the cover plate 12 and the box body 11 is cracked, and whether the weld line of the cover plate 12 is white. If none of these are found, the product is qualified). The third rejection device 252 rejects defective welded parts, and the good part unloading device 253 unloads the good parts onto the first buffer conveyor belt 26.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first buffer conveyor belt 26 is a buffer mesh belt.

[0076] The sealing detection unit 27 includes a first robotic arm 271, an airtightness detection device 272, a fourth rejection device 273, and a second robotic arm 274. The first robotic arm 271 picks up the welded good products on the first buffer conveyor belt 26 and feeds them to the airtightness detection device 272. The fourth rejection device 273 rejects the airtightness defective products. The good products are picked up by the second robotic arm 274 and placed on the second buffer conveyor belt 28 for buffering and sorting.

[0077] In this embodiment, the airtightness testing device 272 includes a pre-test buffer mechanism 2721, a leak testing station 2722, and a post-test conveying mechanism 2723. The pre-test buffer mechanism 2721 buffers the required number of welded good products before conveying them to the leak testing station 2722 for pressure testing. After pressure testing, the products are transferred to the post-test conveying mechanism 2723, where a second robotic arm 274 picks up defective products and places them into a fourth rejection device 273. Good products are picked up and placed into a second buffer conveyor belt 28 for buffering and sorting. The side-leakage station 2722 performs pressure testing on multiple products at once. The pre-test buffer mechanism 2721 and the pre-test buffer conveyor belt 2722 are used to buffer multiple products at once, ensuring that the products are in a full state when entering the side-leakage station 2722, thus improving utilization.

[0078] In this embodiment, the second buffer conveyor belt 28 is a buffer mesh belt. The good reagent kits, buffered by the second buffer conveyor belt 28, are assembled in the magnetic bead bottle assembly unit 29 and the combination cup assembly.

[0079] In this embodiment, the combined cup assembly is mounted on the clamp of the second conveying mechanism 36 and is transported by the loading robot to the positioning clamp on the second conveying mechanism 36 and then to the reagent kit assembly unit 29.

[0080] The reagent kit assembly unit 29 includes a reagent kit assembly device 291, a reagent kit assembly effect detection device 292, a sixth rejection device 293, and a reagent kit unloading device 294. The reagent kit assembly device 291 assembles the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 and the combination cup assembly into a reagent kit 1. The reagent kit assembly effect detection device 292 detects the assembly effect and checks whether the height difference between the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 and the upper surface of the combination cup assembly meets the preset value. If it does not meet the preset value, it is rejected by the sixth rejection device 293. If it meets the preset value, the reagent kit unloading device 294 unloads it to the third buffer conveyor belt 30.

[0081] In this embodiment, the reagent kit assembly production line also includes a magnetic bead bottle assembly unit 33. The magnetic bead bottle assembly unit 33 includes a magnetic bead bottle hopper 331, a magnetic bead bottle dispensing device 332, a magnetic bead bottle feeding device 333, a magnetic bead bottle assembly device 334, a stopper hopper 335, a stopper dispensing device 336, a stopper feeding device 337, a height detection device 338, and a fifth rejection device 339. The magnetic bead bottle body 131 is manually transported to the magnetic bead bottle hopper 331. The magnetic bead bottle dispensing device 332 (vibrating bucket) then transports the magnetic bead bottle body 131 to the magnetic bead bottle feeding device 333, and finally to the magnetic bead bottle assembly device 334. Similarly, the rubber stopper 132 is manually transported to the rubber stopper hopper 335. The rubber stopper 132 is then conveyed to the rubber stopper feeding device 337 via the rubber stopper dispensing device 336 (vibrating bucket), and then to the magnetic bead bottle assembly device 334 and the magnetic bead bottle body 131 for assembly. After assembly, the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 is transferred to the height detection device 338 for height detection (if the upper surface of the rubber stopper 132 of the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 is 0.2mm lower than the bottle mouth of the magnetic bead bottle body 131, it is considered qualified). Defective products are picked up and rejected by the fifth rejection device 339 (robotic arm), and good products are conveyed to the reagent kit assembly unit 29 for the next process.

[0082] In this embodiment, the magnetic bead bottle assembly unit 33 further includes a rotary indexing plate or turntable, and the magnetic bead bottle body 131 is mounted on the clamp of the indexing plate. The indexing plate has higher conveying efficiency than the conveyor belt.

[0083] In this embodiment, the reagent kit assembly production line also includes a third buffer conveyor belt 30. The third buffer conveyor belt 30 includes a finished product buffer device 301, a single-row aligning buffer device 302, and a multi-row aligning buffer device 303. After the assembled reagent kits are unloaded, they are buffered in the finished product buffer device 301 and conveyed to the single-row aligning buffer device 302. When the single-row aligning buffer device 302 is full, the single-row material is conveyed to the multi-row aligning buffer device 303 for integration to the required quantity, and then the entire board is transferred to the packaging unit 31. The reagent kits 1 in the finished product buffer device 301 travel in the length direction of the reagent kits 1, and three of them move forward side by side. The reagent kits 1 in the single-row aligning buffer device 302 travel in the width direction of the reagent kits 1, and the reagent kits 1 in the multi-row aligning buffer device 303 travel in the width direction of the reagent kits 1.

[0084] The packaging unit 31 includes a bagging device 311 and a vacuum heat sealing device 312. The bagging device 311 performs the bagging process. After bagging, the bag is conveyed to the vacuum heat sealing device 312 for vacuuming inside the bag and then heat sealing. The entire plate of material is then picked up by a robot and placed into the palletizing unit 32 for palletizing. After palletizing, the entire pallet of material is moved by a person or AGV forklift to a temporary material storage location to await the next transfer.

[0085] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a reagent kit assembly and production method according to this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0086] S1, Assemble the box body 11 and the cover plate 12;

[0087] S2, weld the box body 11 and the cover plate 12 together to form a combined cup assembly;

[0088] S3, Perform appearance quality inspection on the combined cup assembly. If the inspection result is unqualified, it shall be rejected; otherwise, proceed to step S4.

[0089] S4, arrange multiple qualified combination cup components so that the spacing between adjacent combination cup components is the same;

[0090] S5. Perform an airtightness test on the combined cup assembly. If the test result is unqualified, it will be rejected; otherwise, proceed to step S6.

[0091] S6, arrange multiple combination cup components so that the spacing between adjacent combination cup components is the same;

[0092] S7. Assemble the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 onto the combination cup assembly to obtain reagent kit 1.

[0093] The reagent kit assembly and production method of this embodiment arranges multiple combination cup components with equal spacing between adjacent combination cup components before and after the airtightness test, eliminating empty spaces in rejected combination cup components and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent processes. This solves the technical problem of empty spaces in rejected combination cup components affecting the next process, and also possesses the advantages of the reagent kit assembly production line of this invention, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the multiple tests incorporated during the assembly process of this invention increase the yield of the finished product.

[0094] Step S1 also includes unpacking and disassembling the packaged box 11 and cover plate 12 respectively.

[0095] Between steps S1 and S2, the assembly effect of the box 11 and the cover plate 12 is also checked. If the inspection result is unqualified, the box is rejected; otherwise, step S2 is executed.

[0096] Before step S1, there are also box inspection steps and cover plate inspection steps;

[0097] The box inspection process includes the following steps:

[0098] A1, Load the material into box 11;

[0099] A2, Inspect the latches of box 11;

[0100] A3, if the test result is unqualified, it will be rejected; otherwise, it will be qualified and proceed to the next process.

[0101] The buckles on box 11 facilitate subsequent clamping. If the buckles are not present, it will be impossible to clamp effectively for the next process. Therefore, the box needs to be inspected.

[0102] The cover plate inspection process includes the following steps:

[0103] B1, Loading material onto cover plate 12;

[0104] B2, Inspect the locating pins of cover plate 12;

[0105] B3: If the test result is unqualified, the product will be rejected; otherwise, it will be considered qualified and proceed to the next process.

[0106] The locating pins of cover plate 12 facilitate subsequent assembly. If there is a problem with the locating pins, it will lead to poor assembly results and have an adverse effect on welding.

[0107] The magnetic bead bottle assembly 13 is obtained by the following steps:

[0108] C1, Load the magnetic bead bottle body 131 and the rubber stopper 132 respectively;

[0109] C2, assemble the magnetic bead bottle body 131 and the rubber stopper 132 to obtain the magnetic bead bottle assembly 13;

[0110] C3: Inspect the assembly effect. If the inspection result is unqualified, the product is rejected; otherwise, it is qualified.

[0111] Step S7 is followed by packaging and palletizing multiple reagent kits 1.

[0112] After step S7, the assembly effect of reagent kit 1 is tested. If the test result is unqualified, the kit is discarded; otherwise, it is a qualified product.

[0113] Example 2:

[0114] like Figure 5 As shown, the reagent kit assembly line in this embodiment is largely the same as that in Example 1, with the main difference being:

[0115] 1. In this embodiment, there is no first robotic arm 271 and second robotic arm 274. Instead, a first pushing component 275 and a second pushing component 276 are used to replace the robotic arms. The first pushing component 275 is used to push the combined cup assembly from the first buffer conveyor belt 26 to the sealing detection unit 27, and the second pushing component 276 is used to push the combined cup assembly from the sealing detection unit 27 to the second buffer conveyor belt 28.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first pushing component 275 and the second pushing component 276 are pushing cylinders.

[0117] 2. In this embodiment, the third buffer conveyor belt 30 includes a finished product buffer device 301 and a multi-column buffer device 303. The reagent kit 1 in the finished product buffer device 301 travels in the width direction of the reagent kit 1, and the reagent kit 1 in the multi-column buffer device 303 travels in the length direction of the reagent kit 1.
