Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of conveying loading containers, in particular to a track system facilitating replacement of loading containers. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the vigorous development of medical equipment automation technology, the automation degree of medical laboratories is also developing rapidly. At present, in the automated laboratory, sample loading containers are used to accommodate sample tubes. The sample loading container, also known as a tube holder, usually needs a rotating mechanism to change the movement direction of the tube holder to form a cycle. Moreover, an RFID chip is loaded in the tube holder to bind sample information, so as to realize the rapid circulation of samples on the conveying track. In actual application, due to various unavoidable factors, there is often a need to supplement normal tube holders into the automated assembly line or to take out abnormal tube holders from the assembly line. Under normal circumstances, the track of the assembly line is closed and it is not convenient to take and place the tube holders.

[0003] A medical laboratory automation assembly line variable track device is disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN112684196A, which comprises a carrier, a transportation track, a test track, a dial mechanism for changing the running track of the carrier, a dial block mechanism for limiting the running track of the carrier, a detection device for detecting the position of the carrier, a collection device for collecting the transportation information of the carrier, and a control device. The dial mechanism and the dial block mechanism are arranged at the joint of the transportation track and the test track and are distributed forward and backward along the running direction of the track. The dial mechanism comprises a turntable which can rotate in the plane of the transportation track and the test track, and the turntable is provided with a crescent groove for accommodating the carrier. The dial block mechanism can rotate in the plane to block the transportation track or the test track. The dial mechanism, the dial block mechanism, the detection device, and the collection device are connected with the control device. The track system (900) facilitating replacement of loading containers can perform variable track operation according to the actual needs of samples and carriers to quickly and flexibly perform sample distribution operation.

First, although the track can realize end rotation, it cannot controllably replace the sample loading container, resulting in inconvenience in replacing the sample loading container on the assembly line.

[0101] The track system 900 for facilitating the replacement of the loaded container is further described below with the specific application of a laboratory as an example. Specifically, in an automated laboratory, a sample loaded container containing a sample tube, i.e., the loaded container 800, usually needs a rotating mechanism to change the direction of movement of the loaded container 800, forming a cycle; At the same time, the loaded container 800 is loaded with an RFID chip for binding sample information, realizing the rapid circulation of samples on the track. At the same time, due to various unavoidable factors, there is often a need to supplement normal loaded containers 800 into the automated assembly line or remove abnormal loaded containers 800 from the assembly line. Under normal circumstances, the track of the assembly line is closed, and it is not convenient to take and place the loaded container 800.

[0102] The rail system 900 for facilitating replacement of the loading container comprises a first same-direction rail changing mechanism 100, a second same-direction rail changing mechanism 200, a rotary mechanism loading container replenishment area 910, and a failed loading container buffer area 920; wherein the first same-direction rail changing mechanism 100 comprises a first containing rotary mechanism 110 and a first rotary rail mechanism 120, and considering the function implementation, it can also be understood that the first same-direction rail changing mechanism 100 is composed of the first containing rotary mechanism 110 and the first rotary rail mechanism 120 and their corresponding readers and sensors; correspondingly, the second same-direction rail changing mechanism 200 comprises a second containing rotary mechanism 210 and a second rotary rail mechanism 220, and likewise, it can also be understood that the second same-direction rail changing mechanism 200 is composed of the second containing rotary mechanism 210 and the second rotary rail mechanism 220 and their corresponding readers and sensors.

[0103] For the rotation function of the normal loading container 810 in the loading container 800, the following is explained.

[0104] 1. The loading container 800 enters the rail system 900 for facilitating replacement of the loading container from the first rail 410 or the second rail 420, and the sixth sensor 660 or the seventh sensor 670 senses whether the loading container 800 is in place. When the above-mentioned sensor is triggered, the corresponding third reader 730 or the fourth reader 740 reads the RFID information, reports to the dispatching system, and queries the path;

[0105] 2. After confirming the path, the second containing rotary mechanism 210 and the second rotary rail mechanism 220 are rotated to the position of the corresponding loading container 800, and then the loading container 800 is transmitted to the rear end of the second rail 420, the fifth sensor 650 is triggered, and the second containing rotary mechanism 210 and the second rotary rail mechanism 220 are returned to the original position;

[0106] 3. The loading container 800 continues to move to trigger the ninth sensor 690, and the third containing rotary mechanism 530 is rotated to the position of the loading container 800;

[0107] 4. The third containing rotary mechanism 530 rotates to transport the loading container 800 to the third rail 430, the tenth sensor 691 is triggered, and the third containing rotary mechanism 530 is returned to the original position;

[0108] 5. The loading container 800 continues to move forward and triggers the first sensor 610; the first reader 710 is started to read the RFID information in the loading container 800, reports to the dispatching system, and queries the path;

[0109] 6. After confirming the path, the first containing rotary mechanism 110 and the corresponding first rotary rail mechanism 120 are rotated to transmit the loading container 800 to the third rail 430 or the fourth rail 440;

[0110] 7. Trigger the third sensor 630 or the fourth sensor 640, the first containing rotating mechanism 110 and the corresponding first rotating guide rail mechanism 120 return to the original position, and the normal loading container 810 completes the circulation in the track system 900 for facilitating the replacement of the loading container.

[0111] The output function of the faulty loading container 820 in the loading container 800 is described as follows.

[0112] 1. The faulty loading container 820 enters the track system 900 for facilitating the replacement of the loading container from the first track 410 or the second track 420. The sixth sensor 660 or the seventh sensor 670 senses whether the loading container 800 is in place. When the sixth sensor 660 or the seventh sensor 670 is triggered, the corresponding third reader 730 or the fourth reader 740 reads the RFID information. If the RFID information cannot be read, it directly enters step 2. If the RFID information is read, it is reported to the dispatching system to query the path.

[0113] 2. After confirming the path, the second containing rotating mechanism 210 and the second rotating guide rail mechanism 220 are rotated to the corresponding loading container 800 position, and then it is conveyed to the rear end of the first track 410. The eighth sensor 680 is triggered, and the second containing rotating mechanism 210 and the second rotating guide rail mechanism 220 return to the original position.

[0114] 3. When the second sensor 620 is continuously triggered, it indicates that the fault area is full of materials. The line operator can be prompted to take out the faulty loading container 820.

[0115] The supplement function of the supplementary loading container 830 in the loading container 800 is described as follows.

[0116] 1. The supplementary loading container 830 is put into the fourth track 440 from the loading container supplement area 910 by the operator, and the second sensor 620 is triggered.

[0117] 2. The second reader 720 is started to read the RFID information of the loading container 800, and it is reported to the dispatching system to query the path.

[0118] 3. After confirming the path, the first containing rotating mechanism 110 and the corresponding first rotating guide rail mechanism 120 are started to transmit the loading container 800 to the third track 430 or the fourth track 440.

[0119] 4. The third sensor 630 or the fourth sensor 640 is triggered, and the first containing rotating mechanism 110 and the first rotating guide rail mechanism 120 return to the original position. The supplementary loading container 830 enters the line.

[0120] Such design realizes the effect of facilitating the taking out of the fault sample loading container 820 by increasing the fault loading container buffer area 920, the effect of facilitating the adding of the supplementary loading container 830 by setting the loading container supplementary area 910, and the effect of changing the conveying direction by the turning and switching of the loading container 800 on the track conveying mechanism 400. In addition, the design of the rotating mechanism is given in the embodiment, so the track system facilitating the replacement of the loading container can also be called a rotating track system facilitating the replacement of the loading container.

[0121] It should be noted that other embodiments of the present application also include the track system facilitating the replacement of the loading container formed by the combination of the technical features in the above embodiments.

[0122] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, but as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist, it should be considered as the scope of the present application.

[0123] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
