[0002] Blood collection and testing are common methods for disease diagnosis. Some patients require multiple blood tests during hospitalization.

[0043] Combination Figure 1-3 This invention provides a medical tube preparation device, comprising: a tube dropping mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2, and a labeling mechanism 3.

[0044] The tube dropping mechanism 1 is provided with multiple storage tanks 11 for storing medical tubes 5 of different specifications; the conveying mechanism 2 is used to receive the medical tubes 5 falling from any storage tank 11 and can convey them to the discharge port 41; the labeling mechanism 3 is located below the conveying mechanism 2 and can limit the falling medical tubes 5 and label the limited medical tubes 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the tube placement mechanism 1 is divided into multiple areas along the horizontal direction. Each area serves as an independent tube storage tank 11. Each tube storage tank 11 is used to place multiple medical tubes 5 of the same specification. That is, multiple tube storage tanks 11 can store medical tubes 5 of different specifications respectively. Specifically, a vision system can be set up to perform visual inspection on the tube placement mechanism 1. It can count the remaining medical tubes 5 in each tube storage tank 11 in real time, and identify whether the wrong tubes are placed based on the color of the tube caps of different specifications of medical tubes 5 through an algorithm.

[0046] In this embodiment, the medical tube 5 is dropped from the corresponding storage tank 11 in the tube dropping mechanism 1 according to the tube picking command. The medical tube 5 falls to the conveying mechanism 2 below, is conveyed to the discharge port 41 via the conveying mechanism 2, and falls to the labeling mechanism 3 below for automatic labeling.

[0047] Based on the design of this device, multiple storage tanks 11 are obtained through the multi-area division design of the tube dropping mechanism 1, so that each storage tank 11 can hold medical tubes 5 of the corresponding specification, which can avoid misplacement and can count the remaining medical tubes 5 in real time to remind manual tube replenishment in a timely manner. During use, the corresponding specification medical tubes 5 are automatically dropped according to the tube retrieval command, which has the advantage of accurate tube distribution. The labeling mechanism 3 automatically labels the medical tubes 5, which has the advantage of high labeling efficiency.

[0048] In one embodiment, the labeling mechanism 3 includes a receiving frame 31, a limiting mechanism, and a labeling machine. The medical tube falls onto the receiving frame, the limiting mechanism is movable relative to the receiving frame to restrict the movement of the medical tube, and the labeling machine labels the limited medical tube. Specifically, the limiting mechanism includes: a first moving mechanism 32, a second moving mechanism 33, a driving mechanism 34, and a detector 35; the first moving mechanism 32 is disposed on the receiving frame 31 and can abut against the bottom of the medical tube 5 to limit the medical tube 5 in the length direction of the medical tube 5; the second moving mechanism 33 is connected to the receiving frame 31 and can drive the receiving frame 31 to move, so that the medical tube 5 moves to the labeling position and limits the side wall of the medical tube 5; the driving mechanism 34 is disposed on the receiving frame 31 and can drive the medical tube 5 to rotate; the detector 35 is disposed on the receiving frame 31 and is used to identify the label edge of the medical tube 5.

[0049] In this embodiment, the automatic labeling process is as follows: First, the medical tube 5 is received at a preset position on the receiving frame 31 (corresponding to the bottom of the discharge port 41). Then, the first moving mechanism 32 is controlled to move along the length of the medical tube 5 and abut against the bottom of the medical tube 5. Then, the second moving mechanism 33 is controlled to drive the receiving frame 31 to move linearly along the radial direction of the medical tube 5, so that the medical tube 5 moves to the labeling position and is limited. Then, the driving mechanism 34 drives the medical tube 5 to rotate around the rotation axis. At the same time, the detector 35 identifies and positions the label edge of the medical tube 5 during rotation. When the label edge is identified, the driving mechanism 34 is controlled to stop. Then, the labeling mechanism 3 prints out a new label corresponding to the patient information and transmits it to the label edge of the medical tube 5. Then, the driving mechanism 34 drives the medical tube 5 to rotate again so that the new label is affixed to the body of the medical tube 5 to cover the original label on the medical tube 5 and complete the labeling work.

[0050] In one embodiment, the medical tube 5 preparation device further includes a device frame 4, on the table surface of the device frame 4, a material drop port 41 is provided; a conveying mechanism 2 is provided on the table surface of the device frame 4, a tube dropping mechanism 1 is provided on the conveying mechanism 2, and a labeling mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the device frame 4; the material drop port 41 corresponds to the tube dropping position of the conveying mechanism 2 and the preset position of the receiving frame 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the tube dropping mechanism 1, the conveying mechanism 2, and the labeling mechanism 3 are installed and distributed from top to bottom. The medical tube 5 in the tube dropping mechanism 1 falls directly onto the conveying mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 2 and the labeling mechanism 3 are separated by a platform of the device frame 4. By setting a dropping port 41 on the platform of the device frame 4, the tube dropping position of the conveying mechanism 2 corresponds to the position above the dropping port 41, and the preset position of the receiving frame 31 corresponds to the position below the dropping port 41. In this way, the medical tube 5 is conveyed to the dropping position by the conveying mechanism 2 and falls from the dropping port 41 to the preset position of the receiving frame 31.

[0052] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 2 includes a synchronous belt mechanism and an arc-shaped groove 22. One end of the synchronous belt mechanism is located in the arc-shaped groove 22, forming an arc-shaped channel. The inlet of the arc-shaped channel corresponds to the transmission direction of the synchronous belt mechanism, and the outlet of the arc-shaped channel (i.e., the tube drop position) corresponds to the drop port 41. It should be understood that the outlets of the multiple storage tubes 11 are all located on the top of the synchronous belt mechanism. The medical tube 5 falls onto the synchronous belt mechanism and is conveyed by the synchronous belt mechanism, causing the medical tube 5 to rotate along the arc-shaped channel to the bottom of the synchronous belt mechanism and fall after reaching the outlet of the arc-shaped channel. It then falls through the drop port 41 to the preset position of the receiving frame 31.

[0053] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 Each storage tank 11 has an outlet at its bottom; the tube dropping mechanism 1 has a corresponding branch tube 12 at each outlet, the branch tube 12 is rotatable and when the branch tube 12 rotates, it can drive the medical tubes 5 to fall one by one to the conveying mechanism 2.

[0054] In this embodiment, the tube fitting 12 includes a tube motor 121 and a semi-circular groove rod 122. One end of the semi-circular groove rod 122 is connected to the shaft of the tube motor 121, and the tube motor 121 can drive the semi-circular groove rod 122 to rotate. The semi-circular groove rod 122 is located in the tube outlet. When the opening of the semi-circular groove rod 122 rotates to below the medical tube 5 in the storage tank 11, the medical tube 5 in the storage tank 11 falls into the semi-circular groove rod 122 under the guidance of gravity and the constricted arc edge of the tube outlet. Then, the tube motor 121 drives the semi-circular groove rod 122 to rotate again. When the opening of the semi-circular groove rod 122 rotates 180°, the medical tube 5 contained in the semi-circular groove rod 122 falls from the tube outlet to the conveying mechanism 2 below due to gravity. After being conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2, it falls to the labeling mechanism 3 for automatic labeling.

[0055] Combination Figure 3-5 The following details the process of moving medical tube 5 to the labeling position:

[0056] In one embodiment, the first moving mechanism 32 includes a first driving member and a limiting member 323; the first driving member is installed on one side of the receiving frame 31; the limiting member 323 is connected to the first driving member, and the first driving member is used to drive the limiting member 323 to move along the length direction of the medical tube 5.

[0057] In this embodiment, the receiving frame 31 can be composed of two side plates 311 connected by multiple connecting columns 312. The first driving member is installed on the side plate 311 of the receiving frame 31. The first driving member can be a combination structure of a first motor 321 and a first lead screw 322. The first motor 321 is installed on the outside of one side plate 311 of the receiving frame 31. The first lead screw 322 passes through one side plate 311 of the receiving frame 31 and is located between the two side plates 311 of the receiving frame 31. The limiting member 323 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 322 and is axially movable along the first lead screw 322. That is, by driving the first lead screw 322 to rotate by the motor, the limiting member 323 can be driven to move axially between the two side plates 311 of the receiving frame 31 along the first lead screw 322. Specifically, when the medical tube 5 falls to the preset position of the receiving frame 31, if it falls accurately, the length direction of the medical tube 5 is parallel to the axis of the first lead screw 322. That is, when the first driving member drives the limiting member 323 to move along the length direction of the medical tube 5, it can abut against the bottom end of the medical tube 5 to limit the movement of the medical tube 5 in the length direction.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second moving mechanism 33 includes a second driving member and a sliding member 333; the second driving member is installed on one side of the labeling mechanism 3; the sliding member 333 is connected to the second driving member, and one side of the receiving frame 31 is installed on the sliding member 333. The second driving member is used to drive the sliding member 333 to move the receiving frame 31 along the radial direction of the medical tube 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the labeling mechanism 3 includes a base plate 36 and fixed plates 37 on both sides of the base plate 36. The second moving mechanism 33 is disposed on the side of the base plate 36 and corresponds to one side of the receiving frame 31. The second driving component can be a combination of a second motor 331 and a second lead screw 332. The second motor 331 is fixed to the side of the base plate 36, and the sliding member 333 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 332 and slidably mounted on a track provided on the base plate 36. The sliding member 333 is also connected to the side plate 311 of the receiving frame 31. Thus, by driving the second lead screw 332 to rotate through the second motor 331, the sliding member 333 can slide on the track of the base plate 36, thereby moving the receiving frame 31. That is, by setting the direction of movement, the receiving frame 31 can be driven to move linearly along the radial direction of the medical tube 5, so that the medical tube 5 moves to the labeling position.

[0060] Understandably, the first and second driving components mentioned above can also adopt a combination structure of cylinder and push rod, both of which can realize the movement of the driving limit component 323 along the length direction of the medical tube 5 and the linear movement of the receiving frame 31 along the radial direction of the medical rod.

[0061] Combination Figure 3-5 The following details the process of labeling the medical tube 5 after it has been moved to the labeling position:

[0062] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 34 includes a third drive member 341 and a rotating shaft 342; the third drive member 341 can be a drive motor, and the third drive member 341 is installed on one side of the receiving frame 31; the rotating shaft 342 is connected to the third drive member 341 and is located on one side of a preset position and abuts against the side wall of the medical tube 5, and the third drive member 341 is used to drive the rotating shaft 342 to rotate and drive the medical tube 5 to rotate.

[0063] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 4 relatively Figure 3 Some obstructions are removed to reveal the abutment 38 and the limiting rod 313. Two parallel limiting rods 313 are provided between the two side plates 311 of the receiving frame 31. The gap between the two limiting rods 313 is smaller than the diameter of the medical tube 5. The position between the two limiting rods 313 forms a preset position for receiving the medical tube 5. When the medical tube 5 is lowered to the preset position, the side wall of the medical tube 5 also abuts against the rotating shaft 342.

[0064] Specifically, the labeling mechanism 3 also includes a retaining member 38, with both ends of the retaining member 38 connected to the fixing plates 37 on both sides. The retaining member 38 is located on one side of the labeling position. When the medical tube 5 moves to the labeling position, the side wall of the medical tube 5 also abuts against the retaining member 38; that is, the side wall of the medical tube 5 abuts between the retaining member 38 and the rotating shaft 342. Thus, the rotating shaft 342 is driven to rotate by the third driving member 341. Under the action of friction, the rotating shaft 342 drives the medical tube 5 to rotate. The edge of the label on the medical tube 5 can be detected by the sensor. When the edge of the original label on the medical tube 5 is detected, the third driving member 341 is controlled to stop rotating. Then, the labeling mechanism 3 is started to convey the printed new label to the edge of the label on the medical tube 5. Then, the third driving member 341 is controlled to rotate again, so that the new label is abutted to the body of the medical tube 5 under the pressure of the rotating shaft 342 and the retaining member 38, thereby completing the automatic labeling work.

[0065] This invention also provides an adaptive tube labeling method, applied to the above-mentioned medical tube 5 preparation device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the method includes steps S601 to S605;

[0066] S601, Receive pipe-retrieving command;

[0067] S602. Obtain the tube body information of the TCM tube in the tube retrieval command, wherein the tube body information includes length information and tube diameter information;

[0068] S603. Control the corresponding storage tank 11 of the pipe dropping mechanism 1 to drop the pipe according to the pipe retrieval command;

[0069] S604, The control conveying mechanism 2 conveys the medical tube 5 to the discharge port 41;

[0070] S605, The labeling mechanism 3 controls the current medical tube 5 to be positioned and labels it according to the tube information.

[0071] In this embodiment, based on the above steps S601 to S605, the tube dropping mechanism 1 is controlled by the tube retrieval command to drop the medical tube 5 of the corresponding specification. Compared with the method of manually preparing different specifications of medical tubes 5 as needed, this avoids uncertainty and misoperation, and has the advantage of accurate tube distribution.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, step S605 includes:

[0073] S701. Calculate the first moving distance based on the length information and the preset length information, and calculate the second moving distance based on the pipe diameter information and the preset width information;

[0074] S702, the control limiting mechanism moves a first moving distance to abut the bottom end of the medical tube 5, and moves a second moving distance to abut the side wall of the medical tube 5;

[0075] S703. When the first moving distance and the second moving distance meet the preset conditions, control the labeling mechanism 3 to start labeling.

[0076] In this embodiment, the preset length information can be the length information of a preset position. That is, the empty length of the medical tube 5 at the preset position can be calculated based on the length information of the medical tube 5 and the length information of the preset position, and this is used as the first moving distance. The preset width information can be the distance from the preset position to the labeling position. That is, the distance from the body of the medical tube 5 to the labeling position can be calculated based on the tube diameter information of the medical tube 5 and the distance from the preset position to the labeling position, and this is used as the second moving distance. Based on this, controlling the limiting mechanism to move the first moving distance to abut the bottom end of the medical tube 5 and to move the second moving distance to abut the side wall of the medical tube 5 can position and limit the medical tube 5 at the labeling position. Then, after the detector 35 detects the edge of the label on the medical tube 5, the labeling is performed, which has the advantage of automatic labeling to improve efficiency.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, step S702 includes:

[0078] S801, Control the first moving mechanism 32 to move a first moving distance along the length direction of the medical tube 5 and abut against the bottom end of the medical tube 5;

[0079] S802, control the second moving mechanism 33 to move a second moving distance along the radial direction of the medical tube 5 and drive the medical tube 5 to the labeling position so that the side wall of the medical tube 5 abuts against the abutment member 38.

[0080] In this embodiment, controlling the first moving mechanism 32 to move a first moving distance and abut against the bottom end of the medical tube 5 can restrict the medical tube 5 from moving in the length direction; controlling the second moving mechanism 33 to move a second moving distance in the radial direction of the medical tube 5 so that the medical tube 5 moves to the labeling position. At this time, the abutment member 38 abuts against the side wall of the medical tube 5, which can limit the medical tube 5 to maintain stability, and facilitate the subsequent rotation detection of the label edge and labeling work.

[0081] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
