[0002] In the medical field, sampling tubes are essential tools for collecting blood samples from patients. However, traditional methods of storing and sorting sampling tubes present some problems and challenges.

[0003] The traditional method of storing sampling tubes involves placing multiple tubes together on a tray and then manually sorting them. The disadvantages of this method are:

[0004] 1. Higher error rate in manual sorting: Due to the large number of blood test items, information needs to be repeatedly checked before blood is drawn. This method can lead to errors in the operation of doctors, which may result in medical accidents.

[0069] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0071] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0072] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0073] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a compartmentalization device, comprising: a plurality of receiving boxes 1, an actuating component 5 for pushing sampling tubes 2 from the feeding trough 3 into the conveying mechanism 4, and a conveying mechanism 4 for transferring the sampling tubes 2 to the corresponding receiving boxes 1.

[0074] In this embodiment, the sampling tube 2 is pushed into the conveying mechanism 4 by the actuating component 5, and the conveying mechanism 4 transmits the sampling tube 2 to the corresponding receiving box 1 according to the patient's identity information. This eliminates the need for doctors to perform corresponding information verification, reduces human error, and improves the efficiency of doctors' work. At the same time, the actuation of the actuating component 5 provides a time difference for separating adjacent sampling tubes 2, avoiding separation errors caused by two adjacent sampling tubes 2 being pulled out at the same time. This sampling tube 2 separation mechanism realizes the automated sorting of sampling tubes 2, improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.

[0075] In this embodiment, it also includes: a label attaching mechanism 6, a guide 7 is provided on the label attaching mechanism 6, a feeding groove 3 is provided at one end of the guide 7, and the other end of the guide 7 is close to one side of the conveying mechanism 4. The actuating component 5 can push the sampling tube 2 into the conveying mechanism 4 along the guide 7.

[0076] In this embodiment, by moving the toggle component 5 along the guide part 7, a time difference is created between two adjacent sampling tubes 2. After the toggle component 5 moves out the previous sampling tube 2, it will reset and then move out the next sampling tube 2. This is to prevent multiple sampling tubes 2 from being moved at the same time (because different sampling tubes 2 may move to different collection boxes 1 according to the patient's identity information), or to prevent the next sampling tube 2 from being moved out by the toggle component 5 and falling to the outside before the previous sampling tube 2 has been sorted.

[0077] In this embodiment, a printing mechanism 8 is also included, which is set in relation to the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3.

[0078] The printing mechanism 8 and the label bonding mechanism 6 are arranged opposite to each other. The label bonding mechanism 6 and the printing mechanism 8 can be combined to form a labeling machine. When the printing mechanism 8 prints and dispenses the label, the label bonding mechanism 6 fixes and rotates the sampling tube 2 so that the label can completely cover and bond to the tube body of the sampling tube 2. Finally, the actuating component 5 moves along the guide part 7 to transfer the sampling tube 2 to the conveying mechanism 4.

[0079] The labeling machine will be explained in detail below:

[0080] Please see Figure 3-6 The label bonding mechanism 6 includes a label bonding component 61, a movable roller assembly 62, a feeding component 63, and a fixed frame 64. The label bonding component 61 is installed inside the fixed frame 64, the movable roller assembly 62 is rotatably installed inside the fixed frame 64, the feeding component 63 is installed on the fixed frame 64, the actuating component 5 is rotatably installed on the fixed frame 64, the feeding groove 3 is disposed on the feeding component 63, and the guide part 7 is disposed on the fixed frame 64.

[0081] The label application assembly 61 includes a label application drive 611 and a label application roller 612. The label application drive 611 is mounted on the fixed frame 64. The label application drive 611 drives and connects to the label application roller 612 and can drive the label application roller 612 to rotate. The label application roller 612 contacts the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3. The label application roller 612 can drive the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3 to rotate so that the label issued by the printing mechanism 8 covers the tube body of the sampling tube 2. The label outlet of the printing mechanism 8 is directly between the label application roller 612 and the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3.

[0082] In this embodiment, the label outlet 81 of the printing mechanism 8 is located between the labeling roller 612 and the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3, and the labeling roller 612 contacts one side of the sampling tube 2. The labeling process of the label bonding component 61 is as follows: the label outlet 81 starts to dispense the label, the edge of the label is attached to one side of the tube body of the sampling tube 2, and then the labeling drive 611 is controlled to drive the labeling roller 612 to rotate. When the labeling roller 612 rotates, it drives the sampling tube 2 to rotate through friction. At this time, the entire label is completely attached to the tube body of the sampling tube 2.

[0083] In addition, a labeling gear set can be set at the bottom of the fixing frame 64 corresponding to the labeling drive 611. The labeling drive 611 drives the labeling gear set, which in turn drives the labeling roller 612. The labeling drive 611 controls the labeling gear set to rotate, which in turn drives the labeling roller 612 to rotate. The labeling roller 612 drives the sampling tube 2 to rotate through friction, so that the sampling tube 2 can complete the labeling.

[0084] In this embodiment, the movable roller assembly 62 includes a pressing drive 621 and a pressing component 622. The pressing drive 621 is disposed on the fixed frame 64. The pressing component 622 includes a pressing frame 6221 and a pressing roller 6222. The pressing frame 6221 is connected to the pressing drive 621, and the pressing roller 6222 is mounted on the pressing frame 6221. An elastic element 623 is provided on the side between the pressing roller 6222 and the pressing frame 6221. The pressing drive 621 can drive the pressing roller 6222 to press the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3.

[0085] In this embodiment, the pressing process precedes the labeling process. Specifically, the pressing drive 621 is controlled to drive the pressing component 622, which in turn rotates the pressing component 622 towards the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3, until the pressing roller 6222 touches and presses the sampling tube 2. This embodiment also includes an elastic component 623 for adjusting the sampling tube 2. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 6 As shown, the pressing roller 6222 is assembled inside the roller frame 6223, and the roller frame 6223 is connected to one side of the pressing frame 6221. The elastic element 623 is disposed on the pressing frame 6221 and abuts against the roller frame 6223. Since the sampling tube 2 is placed vertically in the guide part 7, when the pressing roller 6222 touches the sampling tube 2, the elastic element 623 can adapt to the direction of the sampling tube 2 to adjust the sampling tube 2. For example, when the sampling tube 2 is tilted to a certain extent in the guide part 7, it is easy to cause the sampling tube 2 to be unevenly affixed when labeling. Therefore, the elastic element 623 can adjust the pressing force of the pressing roller 6222 to keep the sampling tube 2 in a vertical state, so that the sampling tube 2 can be labeled smoothly. In order to better adjust the sampling tube 2, multiple elastic elements 623 can be arranged at intervals between the pressing frame 6221 and the roller frame 6223. Among them, the elastic element 623 can be a spring.

[0086] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, an arc-shaped guide groove 641 can also be provided on the fixed frame 64, a guide post 642 can be provided on the other side of the clamping frame 6221, and a clamping gear set can be provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 64 corresponding to the clamping drive member 621. The clamping drive member 621 drives the clamping gear set, and the clamping gear set drives the guide post 642. By controlling the clamping drive member 621 to drive the clamping gear set to rotate, the guide post 642 is driven to rotate in the arc-shaped guide groove 641. Subsequently, the guide post 642 drives the clamping roller to rotate in the direction of the sampling tube 2.

[0087] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 63 includes a feeding rack 631 and a feeding detector 632 disposed on the feeding rack 631. The feeding trough 3 is vertically disposed through the feeding rack 631 and located above one end of the guide part 7. The feeding rack 631 has an opening communicating with the feeding trough 3 at one end facing the fixing frame 64. The feeding detector 632 is used to detect whether there is a sampling tube 2 in the feeding trough 3.

[0088] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The feeding rack 631 is fixed to the fixing frame 64 with screws and is located above the end of the guide part 7 away from the receiving box 9. Specifically, the feeding rack 631 includes a feeding plate 6311 and a connecting plate 6312. The feeding plate 6311 and the connecting plate 6312 are arranged vertically. The connecting plate 6312 is fixed to the fixing frame 64 with screws. At this time, the feeding plate 6311 is located above the end of the guide part 7 away from the conveying mechanism 4. Then, a vertical through feeding groove 3 is opened on the feeding plate 6311 for placing the sampling tube 2 into the guide part 7. At the same time, an opening 6313 is provided on the side of the feeding plate 6311 facing the conveying mechanism 4 so that the sampling tube 2 after labeling can be pushed into the conveying mechanism 4 by the agitator 5. In addition, a feeding detector 632 can be set on the connecting plate 6312 to detect whether the sampling tube 2 is placed in the feeding groove 3. If so, the labeling mechanism 6 is used to label the sampling tube 2. The feed detector 632 can be an infrared reflector.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the label attaching mechanism 6 also includes an edge detector 65, which is directly opposite the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3, and is used to detect the edge of the label in the sampling tube 2 in the feed trough 3.

[0090] In this embodiment, the edge detector 65 is used to detect whether the sampling tube 2 located in the feed trough 3 contains the edge of the label that is affixed to the tube body of the sampling tube 2 after the label is printed by the printing mechanism 8. If so, the labeling drive 611 is activated to drive the labeling roller 612 to rotate, thereby driving the sampling tube 2 to rotate so that the label covers the tube body.

[0091] In this embodiment, the actuation assembly 5 includes a lever drive 51 and a lever 52. The lever drive 51 drives one end of the lever 52 and can rotate the lever 52. The other end of the lever 52 can push the sampling tube 2 into the conveying mechanism 4 along the guide portion 7. Specifically, the lever 52 includes a fixed end 521 and a movable end 522. The lever drive 51 drives the fixed end 521 and can rotate the fixed end 521. The movable end 522 can rotate around the fixed end 521. The movable end 522 can push the sampling tube 2 into the conveying mechanism 4 along the guide portion 7. The lever drive 51, the labeling drive 611, and the pressing drive 621 can all be motors.

[0092] In this embodiment, the lever drive 51 is mounted on the fixed frame 64 and driven to connect with the lever 52. The lever 52 includes a fixed end 521 and a movable end 522. The lever drive 51 drives the fixed end 521 to rotate, and the fixed end 521 drives the movable end 522 to rotate, thereby pushing the sampling tube 2 from the guide part 7 into the receiving box 9.

[0093] In this embodiment, the guide part 7 is a straight groove, the fixed end 521 is located on the side of the middle of the straight groove, and the movable end 522 rotates around the fixed end 521. During the rotation, as the movable end 522 rotates around the fixed end 521, the force exerted by the movable end 522 on the sampling tube 2 gradually increases from the front to the middle of the guide part 7, so that the sampling tube 2 has a large enough pushing force to move towards the receiving box 9. At the same time, the force exerted by the movable end 522 on the sampling tube 2 gradually decreases from the middle to the rear, so as to prevent the sampling tube 2 from tipping over and breaking due to the excessive pushing force of the movable end 522 when it is pushed into the receiving box 9.

[0094] In other embodiments, the guide portion 7 can also be an arc-shaped groove, with the fixed end 521 located at the center of the arc-shaped groove. In this way, the movable end 522 rotates around the fixed end 521. During the rotation, since the movable end 522 rotates around the fixed end 521, the force exerted by the movable end 522 on the sampling tube 2 is the same from the front to the middle and then to the rear of the guide portion 7, which can make the sampling tube 2 receive a uniform force and the movement speed more stable.

[0095] The entire labeling machine's workflow is as follows: The feed detector 632 detects whether there is a sampling tube 2 at the guide section 7 of the feed trough 3. If there is, the clamping drive 621 is controlled to drive the clamping roller 6222 to approach the sampling tube 2 until the sampling tube 2 is clamped. At this time, the printing mechanism 8 dispenses the label through the label outlet 81. Then, the edge detection detector 65 detects whether the edge of the label is attached to the body of the sampling tube 2. If so, the labeling drive 611 is controlled to drive the labeling roller 612 to rotate, thereby driving the sampling tube 2 to rotate, so that the label is completely attached and covers the body of the sampling tube 2. Finally, the lever drive 51 is controlled to drive the movable end 522 of the lever 52 to move towards the receiving box 9 until the sampling tube 2 is pushed into the recycling tank 93.

[0096] The following is a detailed description of the conveying mechanism 4:

[0097] Please see Figure 9-14 The conveying mechanism 4 includes: a support 41, a compartmenting device 42, and a translation device 43. The compartmenting device 42 is horizontally slidably mounted on the support 41. The translation device 43 drives and connects to the compartmenting device 42. The compartmenting device 42 includes a lifting assembly 421 and a receiving box 9 fixed thereto. A lifting plate 91 is provided inside the receiving box 9. A medicine outlet 92 is provided on the side of the receiving box 9 facing the receiving box 1. The other side of the receiving box 9 is connected to the other end of the guide part 7. The lifting plate 91 can be raised and lowered relative to the receiving box 9. The lifting assembly 421 is drivenly connected to the lifting plate 91 to drive the lifting plate 91 to rise and fall. Multiple receiving boxes 1 are arranged side by side.

[0098] In this embodiment, by setting up a translation device 43 and a compartmentation device 42, the sampling tube 2 is moved to the corresponding receiving box 1 and the sampling tube 2 is transferred to the corresponding receiving box 1, respectively, thereby realizing the automated sorting of the sampling tube 2, reducing human error, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.

[0099] The workflow is as follows: First, determine which receiving box 1 the sampling tube 2 at the top of the container 9 needs to be sorted into. Then, the translation device 43 moves the container 9 to the corresponding receiving box 1. Then, the lifting assembly 421 drives the lifting plate 91 to rise. When the sampling tube 2 is lifted by the lifting plate 91 to the medicine outlet 92, the sampling tube 2 will slide down from the medicine outlet 92 into the receiving box 1 under its own gravity. This completes the sorting of the sampling tube 2. It should be noted that the sampling tube 2 is placed horizontally on the lifting plate 91.

[0100] The lifting assembly 421 includes a lifting base 4211, a lifting drive 4212, and a lifting component 4213. The translation device 43 drives and connects to the lifting base 4211. The lifting base 4211 is horizontally slidably mounted on the bracket 41. The lifting base 4211 is fixedly connected to the receiving box 9. The lifting drive 4212 is fixedly connected to the lifting base 4211. The lifting component 4213 is vertically slidably mounted on the lifting base 4211. One end of the lifting drive 4212 and the lifting component 4213 are connected to drive the lifting component 4213 to lift. The other end of the lifting component 4213 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 91.

[0101] When it is necessary to sort the sampling tubes 2 in the container 9, the lifting base 4211 is driven to move horizontally on the support 41 by the translation device 43. When the container 9 is aligned with the corresponding receiving box 1, the lifting drive 4212 drives the lifting component 4213 to rise, thereby driving the lifting plate 91 fixed to the lifting component 4213 to rise. When the sampling tube 2 is lifted to the medicine outlet 92 by the lifting plate 91, the sampling tube 2 will slide from the medicine outlet 92 into the receiving box 1 under its own gravity, thus completing the sorting of the sampling tubes 2.

[0102] In this embodiment, a rack 42131 is vertically arranged at one end of the lifting member 4213, and a drive gear 42121 is arranged at the output end of the lifting drive member 4212. The drive gear 42121 meshes with the rack 42131. The meshing design of the rack 42131 and the drive gear 42121 ensures stability during the lifting process. The cooperation between the rack 42131 and the drive gear 42121 makes the lifting process smoother, avoiding swaying or swinging, thereby ensuring stability and safety in use. Due to the meshing design of the rack 42131 and the drive gear 42121, precise control can be achieved. By adjusting the speed and direction of the drive gear 42121, the height and position of the lifting member 4213 can be precisely controlled.

[0103] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 11-13 The lifting component 4213 is provided with a lifting slider 42132, and the lifting base 4211 is provided with a vertical lifting slide rail 42111, with the lifting slider 42132 slidably disposed within the lifting slide rail 42111; or, the lifting component 4213 is provided with a vertical lifting slide rail 42111, and the lifting base 4211 is provided with a lifting slider 42132, with the lifting slider 42132 slidably disposed within the lifting slide rail 42111.

[0104] For details, please refer to Figure 15-17 The lifting slider 42132 is provided with a groove 42133, and a protrusion 42134 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 42133. The lifting slide rail 42111 is provided with a slide groove 42112, and the protrusion 42134 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 42112. The groove 42133 on the lifting slider 42132 cooperates with the slide groove 42112 on the lifting slide rail 42111, so that the lifting slider 42132 can slide smoothly on the lifting slide rail 42111. The protrusion 42134 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 42112, which not only prevents the lifting slider 42132 from disengaging from the lifting slide rail 42111, but also enhances the stability of the lifting slider 42132, so that it will not shake or deviate during the sliding process.

[0105] Furthermore, protrusions 42134 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the groove 42133, and corresponding grooves 42112 are provided on both sides of the lifting slide rail 42111. The protrusions 42134 are slidably disposed within the grooves 42112. Due to the arrangement of two protrusions 42134 and grooves 42112, the contact area between the lifting slider 42132 and the lifting slide rail 42111 is larger, which can effectively improve the load-bearing capacity of the entire structure, thereby enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity of the medicine box. Compared to the case with only one lifting slider 42132 and groove 42112, this design can better distribute the load, avoid stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the entire structure.

[0106] In some embodiments, the lifting slider 42132 can be configured as a sleeve, and the lifting slide rail 42111 as a cylindrical rod. The medicine box is installed by fitting the lifting slider 42132 onto the lifting slide rail 42111. This design allows the medicine box to slide easily, thus improving push-pull efficiency. Simultaneously, the tight fit between the lifting slider 42132 and the lifting slide rail 42111 ensures the stability of the medicine box, effectively reducing offset during movement. This installation method provides convenience for users and also ensures the stable operation of the medicine box.

[0107] Furthermore, multiple lifting slide rails 42111 and lifting sliders 42132 are provided, with each lifting slider 42132 correspondingly mounted on one lifting slide rail 42111; and / or, multiple lifting sliders 42132 are provided, with all multiple lifting sliders 42132 mounted on lifting slide rails 42111. By providing multiple lifting sliders 42132 and lifting slide rails 42111, the load-bearing capacity of the entire structure can be increased. Compared to the case of only one lifting slider 42132 and lifting slide rail 42111, this design can better distribute the load, avoid stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the entire structure; the setting of multiple lifting sliders 42132 and lifting slide rails 42111 can also enhance the stability of the entire structure. Due to the increased number of lifting sliders 42132 and lifting slide rails 42111, the lateral offset or sway that may occur during the sliding of the lifting slider 42132 can be better offset, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0108] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The lifting base 4211 is provided with a first trigger 42113, and the lifting component 4213 is provided with a first sensor 42135; or, the lifting base 4211 is provided with a first sensor 42135, and the lifting component 4213 is provided with a first trigger 42113. The first trigger 42113 and the first sensor 42135 are mainly used to confirm the position of the lifting component 4213, thereby avoiding over-driving of the lifting drive component 4212, which would cause the lifting component 4213 to collide with other components, thus avoiding collision damage between the lifting component 4213 and other components. At the same time, it can also avoid damage to the lifting drive component 4212 itself caused by over-driving, and it can also prevent the lifting component 4213 from moving excessively in one direction and losing the transmission connection with the lifting drive component 4212, thereby preventing the entire device from being unable to sort the sampling tube 2.

[0109] Furthermore, the lifting base 4211 is provided with a first trigger element 42113, and the lifting element 4213 is provided with a plurality of first sensors 42135 arranged vertically at intervals; or, the lifting base 4211 is provided with a plurality of first sensors 42135 arranged vertically at intervals, and the lifting element 4213 is provided with a first trigger element 42113; or, the lifting base 4211 is provided with a first sensor 42135, and the lifting element 4213 is provided with a plurality of first trigger elements 42113 arranged vertically at intervals; or, the lifting base 4211 is provided with a first sensor 42135, and the lifting element 4213 is provided with a plurality of first trigger elements 42113 arranged vertically at intervals.

[0110] Multiple first trigger elements 42113 or first sensors 42135 can achieve precise control over the lifting movement of the lifting member 4213. Due to the presence of multiple first trigger elements 42113 or multiple first sensors 42135, the system can more accurately sense the position of the lifting member 4213, thereby controlling its ascent or descent more precisely. This method avoids lifting errors caused by inaccurate position sensing, improving the system's stability and accuracy.

[0111] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The specific structure of the lifting base 4211 being horizontally slidably mounted on the bracket 41 is as follows: a translation slider 411 is mounted on the bracket 41, and a translation rail 42114 is horizontally mounted on the lifting base 4211, with the translation slider 411 slidably mounted within the translation rail 42114; or, a translation rail 42114 is horizontally mounted on the bracket 41, and a translation slider 411 is mounted on the lifting base 4211, with the translation slider 411 slidably mounted within the translation rail 42114.

[0112] The translation slider 411 and the lifting slider 42132 have similar structures, and the translation slide rail 42114 and the lifting slide rail 42111 have similar structures. This embodiment will not elaborate further on these aspects.

[0113] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 The translation device 43 includes a translation drive 431, a drive wheel 432, a driven wheel 433, and a conveyor belt 434. The drive wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433 are respectively disposed at both ends of the bracket 41. The lifting assembly 421 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 434. The drive wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433 are connected by transmission through the conveyor belt 434. The translation drive 431 is connected by transmission to the drive wheel 432. When it is necessary to align the receiving box 9 with the corresponding receiving box 1, the translation drive 431 drives the drive wheel 432 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 432 drives the conveyor belt 434 to rotate. The rotation of the conveyor belt 434 drives the lifting assembly 421 fixedly connected to it to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the lifting assembly 421 drives the receiving box 9 fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 421 to move horizontally, thereby aligning the receiving box 9 with the corresponding receiving box 1.

[0114] Furthermore, both the driving wheel 432 and the driven wheel 433 have teeth 4321 on their outer surfaces (e.g., Figure 20As shown in the figure, the conveyor belt 434 is provided with meshing teeth (not shown) that mesh with the gear teeth 4321; the meshing of the gear teeth 4321 and the meshing teeth can ensure the accuracy of transmission, avoid slippage and sliding, thereby providing stable traction, while reducing wear on the conveyor belt 434, the driving pulley 432 and the driven pulley 433, and extending the service life of the conveyor belt 434, the driving pulley 432 and the driven pulley 433; the meshing of the gear teeth 4321 and the meshing teeth can also provide a larger bearing surface, thereby providing better bearing capacity, so that the translation device 43 can withstand a larger load.

[0115] In this embodiment, a second trigger element 435 is provided on the translation device 43 (e.g., Figure 11-13 As shown), the lifting assembly 421 is equipped with a second sensor 4214 (as shown). Figure 21 (as shown); or, the translation device 43 is provided with a second sensor 4214, and the lifting assembly 421 is provided with a second trigger 435. The second trigger 435 and the second sensor 4214 are mainly used to confirm the position of the lifting assembly 421, thereby avoiding over-driving of the translation drive 431 and causing the lifting assembly 421 to collide with other components, thus avoiding collision damage between the lifting assembly 421 and other components. For example, when the lifting assembly 421 moves to the position of the driven wheel 433, if the translation drive 431 continues to drive, it will cause a collision between the lifting assembly 421 and the driven wheel 433, thereby damaging the lifting assembly 421 and the driven wheel 433. At the same time, it can also avoid damage to the translation drive 431 itself caused by over-driving.

[0116] Furthermore, the translation device 43 is provided with a second trigger element 435, and the lifting assembly 421 is provided with a plurality of second sensors 4214 at horizontal intervals; or, the translation device 43 is provided with a plurality of second sensors 4214 at horizontal intervals, and the lifting assembly 421 is provided with a second trigger element 435; or, the translation device 43 is provided with a second sensor 4214, and the lifting assembly 421 is provided with a plurality of second trigger elements 435 at horizontal intervals; or, the translation device 43 is provided with a second sensor 4214, and the lifting assembly 421 is provided with a plurality of second trigger elements 435 at horizontal intervals.

[0117] Multiple second triggers 435 or second sensors 4214 can achieve precise control over the horizontal movement of the lifting assembly 421. Due to the presence of multiple second triggers 435 or multiple second sensors 4214, the system can more accurately sense the position of the lifting assembly 421, thereby controlling its horizontal movement more precisely. This approach avoids horizontal movement errors caused by inaccurate position sensing, improving the system's stability and accuracy.

[0118] In this embodiment, as Figure 22 As shown, the receiving box 9 is provided with a recycling trough 93 of predetermined length along the direction of the guide 7, so that the sampling tube 2 enters the recycling trough 93 in a tilted position.

[0119] In this embodiment, a recycling groove 93 of predetermined length is provided on the receiving box 9 to recycle the sampling tube 2 in a tilted position. The top of the recycling groove 93 is open, and the slot of the recycling groove 93 facing the guide part 7 is connected to the other end of the guide part 7, so that the lever 52 can push the vertical sampling tube 2 from the guide part 7 into the recycling groove 93, and gradually tilt it from the vertical position until it enters the recycling groove 93 in a tilted position. The predetermined length of the recycling groove 93 should provide enough space for the sampling tube 2 to remain in a tilted position.

[0120] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 94 is provided at the bottom of the end of the container 9 facing the guide section 7, and the height of the baffle 94 is higher than the bottom of the sampling tube 2 inside the guide section 7.

[0121] In this embodiment, when the lever 52 pushes the sampling tube 2 into the recovery tank 93, the baffle 94 is higher than the bottom of the sampling tube 2 (see reference). Figure 3 At this time, the bottom of the sampling tube 2 is blocked outside the recycling tank 93, and the head of the sampling tube 2 enters the recycling tank 93 first, which then drives the bottom of the sampling tube 2 into the recycling tank 93, so that the sampling tube 2 enters the recycling tank 93 in a tilted state.

[0122] In one embodiment, the height of the end of the lifting plate 91 near the guide 7 is higher than the height of the end away from the guide 7. When the lever 52 pushes the sampling tube 2 into the recycling tank 93, the height of the recycling tank 93 gradually decreases, and the sampling tube 2 can be held in the recycling tank 93 in an inclined posture under the action of the lifting plate 91.

[0123] The baffle 94 allows the sampling tube 2 to enter the recycling tank 93 in a tilted position. The lifting plate 91 keeps the sampling tube 2 in a tilted position and also acts as a buffer to prevent the sampling tube 2 from breaking due to excessive impact force when it is tilted against the bottom of the recycling tank 93.

[0124] The entire workflow of the conveying mechanism 4 is as follows: First, it determines which receiving bin 1 the uppermost sampling tube 2 in the receiving box 9 needs to be sorted into. Then, the translation drive 431 drives the drive wheel 432 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 432 drives the conveyor belt 434 to rotate. The rotation of the conveyor belt 434 drives the lifting assembly 421 fixed to it to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the lifting assembly 421 drives the receiving box 9 fixed to it to move horizontally, thereby aligning the receiving box 9 with the corresponding receiving bin 1. When the receiving box 9 is aligned... After the corresponding receiving box 1, the lifting drive component 4212 drives the drive gear 42121 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 42121 drives the rack 42131 meshing with it to rise, thereby driving the lifting component 4213 to rise. The rise of the lifting component 4213 drives the lifting plate 91 fixedly connected to the lifting component 4213 to rise. When the sampling tube 2 is lifted by the lifting plate 91 to the drug outlet 92, the sampling tube 2 will slide from the drug outlet 92 into the receiving box 1 under its own gravity, thus completing the sorting of the sampling tube 2.

[0125] The following is a detailed description of receiving box 1:

[0126] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 23-25 It also includes a frame 10, a labeling machine, a conveying mechanism 4 and a receiving box 1, all of which are installed inside the frame 10. A discharge port 101 is provided on one side of the frame 10. The receiving box 1 includes a medicine box assembly 11 and a drive device 12. One end of the drive device 12 is connected to the frame 10 and the other end is connected to the medicine box assembly 11. The drive device 12 is used to pull the medicine box assembly 11 into or out of the discharge port 101.

[0127] In this embodiment, by setting up a drive device 12, one end of the drive device 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 10 and the other end is fixedly connected to the medicine box assembly 11, thereby realizing the automatic pushing and pulling of the medicine box assembly 11 without manual operation, saving labor costs. At the same time, the drive device 12 has a fast pushing and pulling speed, which improves work efficiency.

[0128] In this embodiment, the driving device 12 can be a linear motion device such as an electric push rod, a cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0129] Please see Figure 26 In this embodiment, the receiving box 1 is provided with an inclined part 13 near the drug outlet 92. When the sampling tube 2 slides into the receiving box 1 from the drug outlet 92, it will first slide down to the inclined part 13 and slide into the receiving box 1 along the inclined part 13. The inclined part 13 is to adjust the angle at which the sampling tube 2 slides into the receiving box 1, thereby adjusting the speed at which the sampling tube 2 slides into the receiving box 1, so as to avoid the sampling tube 2 sliding into the receiving box 1 too quickly and colliding with each other with a great force, thereby causing damage to the sampling tube 2 and the receiving box 1.

[0130] Furthermore, one end of the drive unit 12 is detachably connected to the frame 10, and the other end is detachably connected to the medicine box assembly 11. The detachable connection makes the installation and disassembly of the entire dispensing mechanism more convenient, while improving the disassembly speed during maintenance, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. The detachable connection also means that if one of the drive unit 12, the frame 10, and the medicine box assembly 11 is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, without the need to replace the other parts, thus saving replacement costs.

[0131] For details, please refer to Figure 27 and Figure 28 The driving device 12 includes a sleeve 121, a motor 122, and a push rod 123. The sleeve 121 is fitted onto the push rod 123. The motor 122 is connected to the push rod 123 to drive the push rod 123 to move linearly relative to the sleeve 121. One of the sleeve 121 and the push rod 123 is connected to the bottom of the medicine box assembly 11, and the other is connected to the frame 10. When the motor 122 drives the push rod 123 to move linearly, the relative position between the push rod 123 and the sleeve 121 changes. Since the connection between the driving device 12 and the frame 10 is always fixed, the position of the connection between the driving device 12 and the medicine box assembly 11 changes continuously under the drive of the motor 122, thereby realizing the pushing out or pulling in of the medicine box assembly 11.

[0132] Please see Figure 24 To enable the medicine box assembly 11 to slide on the frame 10, in this embodiment, the bottom of the medicine box assembly 11 is provided with a dispensing slide rail 111, and the frame 10 is provided with a dispensing slider 102, which is slidably disposed on the dispensing slide rail 111; or, the bottom of the medicine box assembly 11 is provided with a dispensing slider 102, and the frame 10 is provided with a dispensing slide rail 111, which is slidably disposed on the dispensing slide rail 111.

[0133] The sliding connection structure between the discharge slide rail 111 and the discharge slider 102 is similar to the sliding connection structure between the lifting slide rail 42111 and the lifting slider 42132 in the conveying mechanism 4, and their functions are also similar, so we will not go into too much detail about them.

[0134] Please see Figure 24 The medicine box assembly 11 includes a medicine box 112 and a support member 113. One side of the support member 113 is connected to the medicine box 112, and the other side of the support member 113 is slidably disposed on the frame 10.

[0135] For further details, please refer to Figure 29The support member 113 is provided with a first receiving part 1131 and a second receiving part 1132. The medicine box 112 is installed in the first receiving part 1131, and the driving device 12 is located in the second receiving part 1132. The design of the first receiving part 1131 and the second receiving part 1132 makes it possible to install the medicine box 112 and the driving device 12 simply by placing them in the corresponding positions. This achieves quick installation of the medicine box 112 and the driving device 12 and improves installation efficiency.

[0136] In this embodiment, a positioning part 1133 (e.g., ...) is provided on the support member 113. Figure 30 As shown), the medicine box 112 is provided with a mating part 1121 that mates with the positioning part 1133 (as shown). Figure 31 and Figure 32 (As shown), or, the medicine box 112 is provided with a positioning part 1133, and the support member 113 is provided with a mating part 1121 that cooperates with the positioning part 1133; when the positioning part 1133 is inserted into the mating part 1121, the support member 113 and the medicine box 112 are installed and positioned. The positioning part 1133 and the mating part 1121 can ensure the positioning accuracy of the support member 113 and the medicine box 112 during installation. When the positioning part 1133 is inserted into the mating part 1121, the support member 113 and the medicine box 112 can achieve accurate installation and positioning.

[0137] In this embodiment, signal transmitters 1122 (e.g., ...) are respectively provided on opposite sides of the medicine box 112. Figure 31 (as shown) and signal receiver 1123 (as shown) Figure 33 As shown, the signal transmitter 1122 and signal receiver 1123 are mainly used to detect whether there is medicine stored in the medicine box 112. The signal transmitter 1122 emits a signal, and the signal receiver 1123 checks whether it receives the signal to determine if medicine is stored in the medicine box 112. If medicine is present in the medicine box 112, the signal emitted by the transmitter 1122 will be blocked by the medicine, and the receiver 1123 will not receive the signal. Therefore, it can be determined that medicine is stored in the medicine box 112. Conversely, if no medicine is present, it can be determined that no medicine is stored in the medicine box 112. This design not only facilitates the storage and management of medicines for users but also ensures the safe use of medicines.

[0138] Furthermore, multiple signal transmitters 1122 and signal receivers 1123 can be arranged at intervals from head to tail on the bottom of opposite sides of the medicine box 112, thereby enabling the detection of the medicine storage in the entire medicine box 112.

[0139] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 24 and Figure 34The medicine box assembly 11 is provided with a third trigger 114, and the frame 10 is provided with a third sensor 103; or, the frame 10 is provided with a third trigger 114, and the medicine box assembly 11 is provided with a third sensor 103. The third trigger 114 and the third sensor 103 are provided to control the start and stop of the drive device 12. When the third sensor 103 senses the third trigger 114, it indicates that the medicine box assembly 11 has reached the predetermined position (the predetermined position when it is pushed out or the predetermined position when it is pulled in). The drive device 12 then stops driving further, thereby avoiding over-driving that could cause the medicine box assembly 11 to collide with other equipment in the frame 10, thus avoiding damage to the medicine box assembly 11 and other equipment in the frame 10, and also avoiding damage to the drive device 12 caused by over-driving, thereby improving the service life of the entire device.

[0140] Specifically, the medicine box assembly 11 is provided with a third trigger 114, and the frame 10 is provided with two third sensors 103; or, the frame 10 is provided with a third trigger 114, and the medicine box assembly 11 is provided with two third sensors 103, with the two third sensors 103 set in predetermined positions, that is, the two third sensors 103 are respectively set in the positions after being pushed out and pulled in.

[0141] In this embodiment, it also includes: multiple cable chains 14 (such as...) Figure 9 As shown, the cable chain 14 is mainly used to protect wires and cables from wear or tangling. The cable chain 14 is a flat chain that moves with the cabinet to protect the internal wires and cables from being stretched, bent, or otherwise damaged.

[0142] Please see Figure 35 This embodiment also provides a sampling tube compartmentation method, including:

[0143] S101: Scan the patient's wristband to obtain identification information;

[0144] S102: Control the actuating component to transfer the sampling tube from the feed trough to the conveying mechanism;

[0145] S103: Control the conveying mechanism to move the sampling tube to the corresponding receiving box according to the identity information.

[0146] This method automates sorting, avoiding the impact of human factors on sorting accuracy and improving sorting precision and efficiency.

[0147] Specifically, the patient's wristband is scanned to obtain identification information; then, the feeding component 63 is used to detect whether there is a sampling tube 2. If so, the printing mechanism 8 is controlled to print a label. Then, the edge detection detector 65 is used to detect whether the edge of the label is attached to the body of the sampling tube 2. If so, the movable roller assembly 62 is controlled to rotate and press the body of the sampling tube 2. Then, the movable roller assembly 62 is controlled to rotate and drive the sampling tube 2 to rotate. When the label is completely attached to and covers the body of the sampling tube 2, the actuating component 5 is controlled to move the sampling tube 2 towards the receiving box 9. Then, it is determined which receiving box 1 the uppermost sampling tube 2 in the receiving box 9 needs to be sorted into. Then, the translation device 43 is controlled to translate and align the receiving box 9 with the corresponding receiving box 1. When the receiving box 9 is aligned with the corresponding receiving box 1, the lifting component 421 is controlled to lift and drive the lifting plate 91 to rise. Then, the sampling tube 2 slides down into the receiving box 1 under its own gravity.

[0148] Before the sampling tube 2 is moved to the corresponding receiving box 1 by the control conveying mechanism 4 according to the identity information, the control toggle component 5 is reset.

[0149] In this embodiment, by controlling the reset of the toggle component 5, a time difference can be maintained between two adjacent sampling tubes 2. After the toggle component 5 pulls out the previous sampling tube 2, it will reset and then pull out the next sampling tube 2. This is to prevent multiple sampling tubes 2 from being pulled out at the same time (because different sampling tubes 2 may be moved to different collection boxes 1 according to the patient's identity information), or to prevent the next sampling tube 2 from being pulled out by the toggle component 5 and falling to the outside before the previous sampling tube 2 has been sorted.

[0150] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably.
