Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of in vitro diagnosis, and in particular to a freeze-dried ball assembly device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of in vitro diagnosis, it is usually necessary to drop biological samples (such as blood, urine or tissue, etc.) into the microfluidic disc for testing to obtain diagnostic information. Before using the microfluidic disc for testing, the test reagent can be freeze-dried to make freeze-dried balls, and the freeze-dried balls can be implanted into the holes on the microfluidic disc. The freeze-dried test reagent can be stably stored at room temperature, which can not only extend the validity period of the test reagent and reduce the transportation and storage costs of the test reagent, but also directly add biological samples to the microfluidic disc when testing is needed, greatly simplifying the test operation process.

[0003] At present, the assembly process of freeze-dried balls requires multiple operation steps such as loading, ball planting, film sticking and packaging. Among the above multiple operation steps, some operation links still rely on manual completion. For example, in the ball planting operation step, the operator needs to use a manipulator and a suction cup to implant the freeze-dried ball on the microfluidic disc. In the film sticking operation step, the operator needs to accurately cover the protective film on the microfluidic disc to protect it from external contamination. In the packaging operation step, the operator needs to perform the final packaging of the processed freeze-dried balls for transportation and sales. However, completing some operations manually can easily cause fatigue to the operator and affect the accuracy of the operation steps, which not only increases the cost of personnel use, but also leads to problems such as low assembly efficiency and long assembly cycle of the freeze-dried balls.

The conveying member is used to convey a carrier, and the carrier is sequentially transported to the feeding device, the ball planting device, the film sticking device and the packaging device driven by the conveying member. The feeding device is used to load at least one disc onto the carrier. The ball planting device is used to implant freeze-dried balls into the disc holes of the disc. The film sticking device is used to apply a film to the disc with the implanted freeze-dried balls. The packaging device is used to package the disc.

[0005] In the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment of the present invention, the carrier can be moved to the loading device under the drive of the conveyor to place the disc stored in the loading device on the carrier, and then the conveyor can continue to transport the carrier with the disc to the ball planting device, the film sticking device and the packaging device. The ball planting device can implant the freeze-dried balls into the disc holes on the disc, the film sticking device can apply film to the disc with the implanted freeze-dried balls to ensure that it is not contaminated by the outside world, and the packaging device can package the disc that meets the production requirements, so as to facilitate the protection and transportation of the disc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more obvious, the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments of the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the following description, a large amount of details are provided so that the present invention can be thoroughly understood. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description only exemplarily illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented without one or more such details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described in detail.

[0044] In order to fully understand the embodiments of the present invention, detailed structures will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, a freeze-dried ball assembly device is provided, which can realize automatic operation, reduce the labor cost, improve the efficiency of freeze-dried ball assembly and reduce the assembly cycle. The following will introduce a freeze-dried ball assembly device according to an embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment includes a conveying member 1, a feeding device 2, a ball planting device 3, a film sticking device 4 and a packaging device. The conveying member 1 is used to convey the carrier 11, and the carrier 11 is transported to the feeding device 2, the ball planting device 3, the film sticking device 4 and the packaging device in sequence under the drive of the conveying member 1. The feeding device 2 is used to feed at least one disc 12 onto the carrier 11. The ball planting device 3 is used to implant the freeze-dried balls into the disc holes 121 of the disc 12. The film sticking device 4 is used to apply a film to the disc 12 implanted with the freeze-dried balls. The packaging device is used to package the disc 12.

[0047] The conveying member 1 can be specifically a conveyor belt, which can drive the carrier 11 to move along the length direction of the conveyor belt, so as to load the disc 12 at the loading device 2 and then transport it to the ball planting device 3, the film sticking device 4 and the packaging device in sequence.

[0048] The shape of the conveying member 1 can be a long strip or a rectangle, preferably a rectangle, thereby greatly saving the area and space occupied by the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment.

[0049] The carrier 11 can carry multiple discs 12 at the same time, and the multiple discs 12 can be distributed in rows and columns, so that the multiple discs 12 can be implanted, film-laminated and packaged at the same time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment.

[0050] The above-mentioned disc 12 can be specifically a microfluidic disc, and a plurality of disc holes 121 can be formed on the microfluidic disc, and each disc hole 121 can be used to place a freeze-dried ball. The plurality of disc holes 121 can be evenly distributed on the microfluidic disc, and can be specifically arranged at intervals along the circumference of the microfluidic disc, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0051] In the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment of the present invention, the carrier 11 can be moved to the loading device 2 under the drive of the conveying member 1 to place the disc 12 stored in the loading device 2 on the carrier 11, and then the conveying member 1 can continue to transport the carrier 11 with the disc 12 to the ball planting device 3, the film sticking device 4 and the packaging device. The ball planting device 3 can implant the freeze-dried balls into the disc holes 121 on the disc 12, and the film sticking device 4 can apply a film to the disc 12 with the implanted freeze-dried balls to ensure that it is not contaminated by the outside world. The packaging device can package the disc 12 that meets the production requirements, thereby facilitating the protection and transportation of the disc 12. In this way, the automated operation of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment is realized, and the possibility of errors caused by manual operation is reduced. Not only the labor cost is reduced, but also the efficiency of freeze-dried ball assembly is effectively improved and the assembly cycle is reduced.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the loading device 2 includes a material storage tray 21, multiple groups of positioning components 23 and an adjustment component 24. The material storage tray 21 has multiple loading positions 22 for stacking discs 12 to form a disc group, and the multiple loading positions 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the material storage tray 21. The multiple groups of positioning components 23 correspond to the multiple loading positions 22 one by one, and the positioning component 23 includes a first positioning portion 231 and a second positioning portion 232. The first positioning portion 231 and the second positioning portion 232 cooperate to form a storage space for storing the disc group. The first positioning portion 231 is fixedly arranged near the rotation center of the material storage tray 21, and the second positioning portion 232 is movably arranged near the outer edge of the material storage tray 21. The adjustment component 24 is respectively connected to the second positioning portions 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22. Among them, the second positioning portions 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 are driven to move synchronously by the adjustment component 24, so as to simultaneously adjust the storage space of the two adjacent loading positions 22 to adapt to different discs 12.

[0053] The disc 12 may be in the shape of a sheet, and the sheet-shaped discs 12 are stacked in the vertical direction to form a disc group. By stacking the discs 12 on the storage tray 21, the three-dimensional space of the storage tray 21 can be reasonably utilized, and while ensuring that a large number of discs 12 can be stored, the volume of the storage tray 21 can be avoided to be too large.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, there are six loading positions 22 on the material storage tray 21, and the six loading positions 22 can be evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the material storage tray 21, so as to ensure the overall balance of the material storage tray 21 while maximizing the use of the space of the material storage tray 21, thereby effectively improving the rationality of the layout of the material storage tray 21.

[0055] The number of the first positioning part 231 and the second positioning part 232 of the same group of positioning components 23 can be two respectively, and the two first positioning parts 231 and the two second positioning parts 232 can enclose a storage space for storing the disk group, and the storage space can be formed with an open side on the side away from the storage tray 21, so that the disk 12 can be easily taken out through the open side. As shown in the figure, six storage spaces can be arranged on the storage tray 21 along its circumferential direction. When the disk 12 is placed in the storage space, the first positioning part 231 and the second positioning part 232 can respectively abut against the edge of the disk 12, thereby limiting the displacement of the disk 12 in the horizontal direction.

[0056] There can be multiple adjustment components 24, and the adjustment components 24 and the positioning components 23 can be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the storage tray 21. The adjustment components 24 can be connected to the second positioning parts 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 respectively, and drive the second positioning parts 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the storage space of the two adjacent loading positions 22, so that the storage space can be compatible with discs 12 of different shapes and sizes. It can be understood that when it is necessary to adjust the two second positioning parts 232 on a loading position 22 at the same time, it is necessary to adjust the two adjustment components 24 on both sides of the loading position 22 to achieve it.

[0057] In the above embodiment, a storage space for accommodating a disc group can be formed by the cooperation of the first positioning portion 231 and the second positioning portion 232 on the loading position 22, and the adjustment component 24 can drive the second positioning portions 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the storage space of two adjacent loading positions 22 at the same time. In this way, the loading device 2 can be compatible with accommodating discs 12 of different sizes and shapes, effectively reducing the volume and occupied space of the loading device 2, reducing the manufacturing cost of the loading device 2, and improving the practicality of the loading device 2.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the adjustment assembly 24 includes a transmission member 241 , and both ends of the transmission member 241 are respectively connected to the second positioning parts 232 of adjacent loading positions 22 to drive the second positioning parts 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 to move synchronously.

[0059] The shape of the transmission member 241 can be plate-shaped and long, which not only facilitates the connection with the second positioning portion 232 , but also simplifies the structure of the transmission member 241 and reduces the processing difficulty and manufacturing cost of the transmission member 241 .

[0060] In the above embodiment, a transmission member 241 can drive the second positioning parts 232 of two adjacent loading positions 22 to move synchronously, which not only effectively ensures the accuracy and synchronization of the movement of the two second positioning parts 232, but also simplifies the mechanical structure of the adjustment component 24, saves the space occupied by the adjustment component 24, and effectively ensures the rationality of the structural layout of the adjustment component 24.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ball planting device 3 includes a controller, a ball storage plate assembly 31 and a ball planting plate assembly 32. The ball storage plate assembly 31 includes a ball storage plate 311 and a first baffle assembly 314. A ball storage space 312 is formed on the ball storage plate 311. A ball replenishing channel 313 is provided in the ball storage space 312. The controller is used to control the first baffle assembly 314 to open or close the ball replenishing channel 313. The ball planting plate assembly 32 is arranged below the ball storage plate assembly 31. The ball planting plate assembly 32 includes a ball planting plate 321 and a second baffle assembly 324. A ball planting space 322 is formed on the ball planting plate 321. The ball planting space 322 is used to receive the freeze-dried balls dropped through the ball replenishing channel 313. The ball planting space 322 has a ball planting hole 323. The controller is also used to control the second baffle assembly 324 to open or close the ball planting hole 323. The disk 12 is disposed below the ball planting plate assembly 32 , and the disk hole 121 on the disk 12 corresponds to the ball planting hole 323 , and the freeze-dried balls in the ball planting space 322 fall into the disk hole 121 on the disk 12 through the ball planting hole 323 .

[0062] The controller can be built with electronic components such as digital logic circuits, or can be implemented using processor chips such as single-chip microcomputers, microprocessors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), digital signal processors (DSPs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic arrays (PLA), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and their peripheral circuits.

[0063] The shape of the ball planting space 322 can be a groove-shaped ball planting space 322, and the groove-shaped ball planting space 322 can have a first accommodating cavity, and the side of the first accommodating cavity away from the disk 12 can have an open side, and the bottom of the first accommodating cavity can be formed with a ball planting hole 323 that passes through the vertical direction. The controller can control the ball planting hole 323 to open or close, so that the freeze-dried ball can fall into the disk hole 121 of the disk 12 through the ball planting hole 323.

[0064] There may be a plurality of ball planting spaces 322 , and the plurality of ball planting spaces 322 may be distributed in rows and columns on the ball planting plate 321 . The plurality of ball planting spaces 322 may correspond one-to-one to the plurality of disks 12 on the carrier 11 .

[0065] The ball planting hole 323 can accommodate one freeze-dried ball, and the diameter of the ball planting hole 323 can be slightly larger than the diameter of the freeze-dried ball, thereby ensuring that each ball planting operation can only allow one freeze-dried ball to pass through the ball planting hole 323 smoothly, avoiding ball planting failure and waste of freeze-dried balls due to dropping of too many freeze-dried balls at one time, and effectively ensuring the success rate of ball planting.

[0066] The shape of the ball storage space 312 can be a groove-shaped, and the groove-shaped ball storage space 312 can have a second accommodating chamber. The second accommodating chamber can have an open side on the side away from the ball planting plate 321. The bottom of the second accommodating chamber can be formed with a ball replenishing channel 313 that runs through the vertical direction. When the controller controls the first baffle assembly 314 to close the ball replenishing channel 313, freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball storage space 312. When the controller controls the first baffle assembly 314 to open the ball replenishing channel 313, freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball storage space 312. When the controller controls the first baffle assembly 314 to open the ball replenishing channel 313, freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball planting space 322 through the ball replenishing channel 313.

[0067] The ball storage space 312 can be used to store a large number of freeze-dried balls, so that after the ball planting plate 321 performs a ball planting operation on the disk hole 121 on the disk 12 and there are no freeze-dried balls left in the ball planting space 322, the freeze-dried balls stored in the ball storage space 312 can be received for the next ball planting operation. Freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball storage space 312 manually or mechanically, and the present application does not specifically limit the method of adding freeze-dried balls to the ball storage space 312.

[0068] The ball replenishing channel 313 may have a larger size to ensure that a plurality of freeze-dried balls can pass through the ball replenishing channel 313 at the same time, so that a plurality of freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball planting space 322 at one time, effectively ensuring the ball replenishing efficiency of the ball storage plate 311 .

[0069] The first baffle assembly 314 may include a baffle body 3141 and a driver 3142 connected to the baffle body 3141. The baffle body 3141 may be attached to the bottom of the ball storage plate 311. The controller may be electrically connected to the driver 3142 and drive the baffle body 3141 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction through the driver 3142. A first ball dropping hole adapted to the ball replenishing channel 313 may be provided on the baffle body 3141. When the driver 3142 drives the first ball dropping hole of the baffle body 3141 to move to a position misaligned with the ball replenishing channel 313, the ball replenishing channel 313 may be closed. When the driver 3142 drives the first ball dropping hole of the baffle body 3141 to move to correspond to the ball replenishing channel 313, the ball replenishing channel 313 may be opened.

[0070] The ball storage plate 311 may be provided with through holes 315, the number of which may correspond to the number of ball planting spaces 322, and the baffle body 3141 may also be provided with observation holes corresponding to the through holes 315, so that each ball planting space 322 may be located below the through hole 315 corresponding thereto.

[0071] The baffle body 3141 and the driver 3142 may be detachably connected, and the detachable connection may include a plug connection or a snap connection, etc., to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the baffle body 3141. The present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the baffle body 3141 and the driver 3142. The driver 3142 may be a cylinder, etc., which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0072] There can be multiple ball storage spaces 312, and the multiple ball storage spaces 312 can be distributed in rows and columns on the ball storage plate 311 and correspond one-to-one to the multiple ball planting spaces 322. A multiple first ball dropping holes can be set on the baffle body 3141, and the multiple first ball dropping holes can respectively correspond to the ball replenishing channels 313 of the multiple ball storage spaces 312. The driver 3142 can drive the baffle body 3141 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, so as to quickly and simultaneously perform ball replenishing operations on the multiple ball planting spaces 322.

[0073] Of course, in some other embodiments, there may be only one ball storage space 312, and one ball storage space 312 may be used to perform ball planting operations in multiple ball planting spaces 322, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0074] In the above embodiment, when the ball planting device 3 is used to plant balls in the disk holes 121 on the disk 12, freeze-dried balls can be added to the ball storage space 312 on the ball storage plate 311, and the freeze-dried balls can slide into the ball replenishing channel 313. The controller can control the first baffle assembly 314 to open the ball replenishing channel 313, so that the freeze-dried balls in the ball replenishing channel 313 fall into the ball planting space 322 on the ball planting plate 321, and the freeze-dried balls in the ball planting space 322 can slide into the ball planting hole 323. The controller can also control the second baffle assembly 324 to open the ball planting hole 323, so that the freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323 fall into the disk hole 121 on the lower disk 12. In this way, the ball planting device 3 can realize the automatic operation of ball planting, reduce the personnel cost and the possible errors in manual operation, and effectively improve the ball planting efficiency and the success rate of ball planting.

[0075] In some embodiments, the ball planting plate assembly 32 also includes a lifting assembly 35 connected to the ball planting plate 321. The ball planting plate 321 has a ball replenishing position height and a ball planting position height set from top to bottom. The lifting assembly 35 is used to drive the ball planting plate 321 to reciprocate between the ball replenishing position height and the ball planting position height. When the ball planting plate 321 is at the ball replenishing position height, it receives the freeze-dried balls in the ball storage space 312. The freeze-dried balls fall into the disc holes 121 when the ball planting plate 321 is at the ball planting position height.

[0076] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ball planting device 3 may further include a fixed seat 33, and the ball storage plate 311 and the ball planting plate 321 may be fixed on the fixed seat 33 in the vertical direction. A slide rail 34 may be provided on the fixed seat 33 so that the lifting component 35 can reciprocate along the slide rail 34 between the height of the ball replenishing position and the height of the ball planting position. The slide rail 34 can effectively ensure the stability of the lifting component 35 when driving the ball planting plate 321 to move.

[0077] The height of the ball replenishing position and the height of the ball planting position can be set in the vertical direction, and the lifting component 35 can drive the ball planting plate 321 to reciprocate between the height of the ball replenishing position and the height of the ball planting position. When the ball planting plate 321 moves upward and is at the height of the ball replenishing position, the controller can control the first baffle assembly 314 to open the ball replenishing channel 313, so that the freeze-dried balls in the ball replenishing channel 313 can fall into the ball planting space 322 on the ball planting plate 321.

[0078] When the ball planting plate 321 is at the ball planting height, there may be a certain distance between the ball planting plate 321 and the ball storage plate 311 in the vertical direction, and when the controller controls the ball planting plate 321 to move and slide the freeze-dried balls into the ball planting holes 323, the ball planting plate 321 can be prevented from colliding with the ball storage plate 311 during movement. Of course, when the ball planting plate 321 is at the ball planting height, the controller controls the first baffle assembly 314 to close the ball replenishment channel 313 and controls the movement of the ball storage plate 311, and the ball storage plate 311 can be prevented from colliding with the ball planting plate 321 during movement.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the lifting assembly 35 can drive the ball planting plate 321 to move between the height of the ball replenishing position and the height of the ball planting position, thereby avoiding the collision between the ball planting plate 321 and the ball storage plate 311 during movement, and effectively improving the rationality of the layout of the ball planting device 3. In addition, the ball planting plate 321 can receive the freeze-dried balls in the ball storage space 312 at the height of the ball replenishing position, thereby reducing the distance between the ball planting plate 321 and the ball storage plate 311 when the freeze-dried balls fall. The freeze-dried balls can fall into the disk holes 121 when the ball planting plate 321 is at the height of the ball planting position, thereby reducing the distance between the ball planting plate 321 and the disk holes 121 when the freeze-dried balls fall, thereby effectively avoiding the freeze-dried balls from being damaged due to excessive height when they fall, greatly improving the yield rate during the freeze-dried ball implantation process, and ensuring the ball planting effect of the ball planting device 3.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the ball planting device 3 also includes a shooting component 36. The shooting component 36 is arranged above the ball storage plate 311, and a through hole 315 is formed on the ball storage plate 311. The ball planting space 322 of the ball planting plate 321 corresponds to the through hole 315; the shooting component 36 is used for shooting in the direction of the ball planting plate 321. The controller is used to control the shooting component 36 to shoot and obtain a first image, the first image includes an image of the ball planting space 322 collected through the through hole 315, and judges whether the current ball planting hole 323 meets the ball planting condition according to the first image. When the current ball planting hole 323 meets the ball planting condition, the current ball planting hole 323 of the ball planting plate 321 performs a ball planting operation toward the disk hole 121 on the disk 12.

[0081] The shooting component 36 can specifically be a camera or a video camera, etc., any device that can be used to capture the first image can be used, and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0082] The shooting component 36 can be arranged just above the ball storage plate 311, and shoot in the direction of the ball planting plate 321 to clearly capture the first image including the ball planting space 322. Of course, the shooting component 36 can also be arranged obliquely above the ball storage plate 311, and any position where the first image can be captured is acceptable, and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0083] The shooting component 36 can capture the first image including the ball planting space 322 through the through hole 315 on the ball storage plate 311, effectively avoiding the blocking of the ball planting space 322 by the ball storage plate 311, and improving the accuracy of the captured first image.

[0084] Based on the first image, it can be determined whether the ball planting hole 323 meets the ball planting conditions. When the current ball planting hole 323 meets the ball planting conditions, the controller can control the second baffle assembly 324 to open the current ball planting hole 323, so that the current ball planting hole 323 can perform a ball planting operation on the disk hole 121 on the disk 12. When the current ball planting hole 323 does not meet the ball planting conditions, the controller can control the second baffle assembly 324 to keep the ball planting hole 323 closed, and control the ball planting plate 321 to move until the ball planting hole 323 meets the ball planting conditions.

[0085] The first image may include not only an image of the ball planting space 322 , but also an image of the ball storage space 312 . By taking an image once by the shooting component 36 , image information of the ball planting device 3 may be collected to the maximum extent, thereby ensuring the shooting efficiency of the shooting component 36 .

[0086] In the above embodiment, the shooting component 36 can capture a first image containing the ball planting space 322 before the ball planting operation, and the controller can accurately identify the position of the ball planting hole 323 and the condition of the freeze-dried ball in the ball planting hole 323 based on the first image. When the ball planting conditions are met, the controller can control the ball planting device 3 to perform the ball planting operation. In this way, through the cooperation of the shooting component 36 and the controller, the first image can be automatically captured and identified, reducing the need for manual operation, and automatically judging the ball planting conditions, which can reduce the possibility of errors due to human operation, effectively improve the ball planting efficiency and automation level of the ball planting device 3, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the ball planting operation.

[0087] In some embodiments, there are multiple disks 12, and the multiple disks 12 are distributed in rows and columns, and each column of disks 12 is called a column of disk groups;

[0088] There are multiple ball planting holes 323, and the multiple ball planting holes 323 are distributed in rows and columns, and each column of ball planting holes 323 is called a column of ball planting group;

[0089] The controller is also used to control the multiple ball planting holes 323 in each ball planting group to open simultaneously, so as to perform ball planting operations on the disk holes 121 at the same position of each disk 12 in the disk group.

[0090] The number of ball planting hole groups may correspond to the number of disk groups one by one. Of course, two rows of ball planting hole groups may correspond to one row of disk groups, thereby improving the ball planting efficiency of the ball planting device 3 .

[0091] Multiple ball planting holes 323 in a row of ball planting hole groups can respectively correspond to the disk holes 121 at the same position of each disk 12 in the disk group. When the controller controls multiple ball planting holes 323 to open at the same time, the ball planting operation can be synchronously performed on the disk holes 121 at the same position of each disk 12 in the disk group, thereby completing batch ball planting operations.

[0092] There can be multiple ball planting devices 3, and multiple ball planting devices 3 can be arranged in parallel along the conveying direction of the conveyor 1. The ball planting hole groups of each ball planting device 3 can respectively correspond to different positions of each disk 12 in the disk group. The conveyor 1 can transport the disk group to the bottom of different ball planting devices 3, so as to plant balls at different positions of each disk 12 in the disk group through multiple ball planting devices 3, thereby completing the batch ball planting operation of the disks 12.

[0093] The second baffle assembly 324 may include multiple first baffles, and the multiple first baffles correspond one-to-one to the multiple columns of ball planting hole groups. The first baffle may be provided with multiple second ball dropping holes that are compatible with the ball planting holes 323, and the number of the second ball dropping holes may be compatible with the number of ball planting holes 323 in the ball planting group. When the second ball dropping holes on the first baffle move to be misaligned with the ball planting holes 323, the ball planting holes 323 can be closed, and when the second ball dropping holes on the first baffle move to correspond to the ball planting holes 323, the ball planting holes 323 can be opened.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the ball planting hole group can simultaneously perform ball planting operations on the disk holes 121 at the same position of each disk 12 in a disk group, thereby significantly improving the ball planting efficiency of the ball planting device 3 and reducing the time required for the ball planting operation. In addition, the controller synchronously controls to ensure the consistency of the ball planting operation on the disk holes 121 of each disk 12, effectively improving the uniformity and consistency of ball planting.

[0095] In some embodiments, the ball planting device 3 further includes a position adjustment component 24 (not shown in the figure), which is used to drive the ball planting plate 321 and / or the carrier 11 for carrying the disk 12 to move, so that the ball planting holes 323 of the ball planting group and the different disk holes 121 on the disk 12 of the disk group correspond to each other;

[0096] The controller is also used to control the ball planting group to perform a ball planting operation on the second disk hole 121 on each disk 12 in the disk group after controlling the ball planting group to perform a ball planting operation on the first disk hole 121 on each disk 12 in the disk group.

[0097] A plurality of disks 12 distributed in rows and columns can be placed on the carrier 11, and the position adjustment component 24 can be connected to the ball planting plate 321 and / or the carrier 11, and drive the ball planting plate 321 and / or the carrier 11 to move in a horizontal direction, so that the ball planting hole group on the ball planting plate 321 can correspond to the different disk holes 121 of each disk 12 in the disk group on the carrier 11.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the position adjustment component 24 can accurately adjust the position relationship between the ball planting group on the ball planting plate 321 and the disk group on the carrier 11, ensuring that the ball planting holes 323 of the ball planting hole group can correspond one-to-one to the disk holes 121 on each disk 12 in the disk group, so that the ball planting operation of multiple disk holes 121 on the disk 12 can be completed using one ball planting device 3. This not only ensures the accuracy of the ball planting operation, but also reduces the number of ball planting devices 3, saving the manufacturing cost of the ball planting devices 3.

[0099] In some embodiments, the ball planting condition is that there is only one freeze-dried ball in a preset area near the ball planting hole 323 , and the freeze-dried ball is located in the ball planting hole 323 .

[0100] The ball planting hole 323 may be disposed near one end of the ball planting space 322 , and the predetermined area may be represented as an area adjacent to the ball planting hole 323 .

[0101] During the manufacturing process of freeze-dried balls, the water in the balls is removed by freeze-drying technology, so that the water content of the freeze-dried balls is extremely low, which easily causes the surface of the freeze-dried balls to be charged, thereby causing the phenomenon of electrostatic adsorption. In addition, freeze-dried balls are usually stored and preserved in a dry environment, which is prone to static electricity, resulting in the accumulation of charges on the surface of the freeze-dried balls, and then causing adsorption and agglomeration. In this way, by limiting the ball planting conditions, it can be ensured that only one freeze-dried ball falls into the disk hole 121 of the disk 12 through the ball planting hole 323 in each ball planting operation.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the ball planting device 3 may further include a static electricity removal device 37, which may be located above the ball storage plate 311 and the ball planting plate 321, respectively. The static electricity removal device 37 may neutralize the static electricity charge on the surface of the freeze-dried balls in the ball storage space 312 and the ball planting space 322, thereby reducing the mutual adsorption between multiple freeze-dried balls. The static electricity removal device 37 may specifically be a static electricity removal air curtain, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0103] When the shooting component 36 captures the first image, the controller determines based on the first image that there is only one freeze-dried ball in the ball planting hole 323, and that there are only the above-mentioned freeze-dried balls in the vicinity of the ball planting hole 323. Then, the second baffle component 324 can be controlled to open the ball planting hole 323, thereby completing the ball planting operation.

[0104] In the above embodiment, by limiting the ball planting condition to that there is only one freeze-dried ball in the preset area near the ball planting hole 323, and the freeze-dried ball is located in the ball planting hole 323, it can be ensured that only one freeze-dried ball falls through the ball planting hole 323 in each ball planting operation, thereby avoiding the situation where multiple freeze-dried balls are adsorbed on each other and fall through the ball planting hole 323 together. This not only ensures the success rate of ball planting by the ball planting device 3, but also reduces the waste and loss of freeze-dried balls.

[0105] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control the shooting component 36 to shoot before and after the ball planting operation to obtain two adjacent first images, and determine whether a ball planting abnormality occurs in the current ball planting operation based on the two adjacent first images.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the controller can control the shooting component 36 to shoot the first image in the ball planting space 322 before the ball planting operation, so as to determine that there are freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323, and then the controller can control the ball planting hole 323 to open and perform the ball planting operation on the disk hole 121 on the disk 12. When the ball planting operation is completed, the controller can control the shooting component 36 to shoot the first image in the ball planting space 322 again, so as to determine whether the freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323 have successfully fallen into the disk hole 121 on the disk 12. In this way, by comparing the two adjacent first images, it can be accurately determined whether an abnormality occurs in the ball planting operation, so that the freeze-dried balls can be cleaned up in time when an abnormality occurs in the ball planting, so as to ensure the subsequent ball planting operation, effectively improve the reliability of the ball planting operation of the ball planting device 3, and then improve the ball planting efficiency and ball planting success rate of the ball planting device 3.

[0107] In some embodiments, the photographing component 36 is used to photograph toward the ball planting plate 321 to obtain a first image including image information in all ball planting spaces 322;

[0108] The controller is also used to determine whether there are freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323 in the second first image when it is determined that there are freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323 in the first first image. If so, it is determined that the ball planting hole 323 is blocked during the current ball planting operation and the ball planting is abnormal.

[0109] There may be multiple ball planting spaces 322, which may be arranged in rows and columns on the ball planting plate 321, and each ball planting space 322 may be provided with at least two adjacent ball planting holes 323 along the row direction. The photographing component 36 may take images of all ball planting spaces 322 at one time. In other words, the first image may include image information of all ball planting spaces 322.

[0110] The controller can also control the shooting component 36 to shoot a first image before the ball planting operation. Through the first image, it can be determined that there are freeze-dried balls in the current ball planting hole 323. At this time, the controller can open the ball planting hole 323 to perform the ball planting operation on the disk hole 121 on the disk 12. After the ball planting operation is completed, the controller can control the shooting component 36 to shoot a first image again, and determine whether there are freeze-dried balls in the current ball planting hole 323 according to the first image. If there are no freeze-dried balls, it can be indicated that the freeze-dried balls have fallen into the disk hole 121 of the disk 12. If there are freeze-dried balls, it can be indicated that the ball planting hole 323 is blocked, and the freeze-dried balls are stuck in the ball planting hole 323 and cannot fall smoothly.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the controller can control the shooting component 36 to shoot the ball planting hole 323 in the ball planting space 322, and compare and analyze the shot images, so as to accurately determine whether there are freeze-dried balls in the ball planting hole 323, and then determine whether the ball planting hole 323 is blocked. Through automated image analysis, the need for manual inspection can be reduced, and the automation level of the ball planting device 3 is effectively improved.

[0112] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment also includes a suction and blocking device 8 electrically connected to the controller. The suction and blocking device 8 is arranged next to the ball planting device 3. The controller is also used to control the suction and blocking device 8 to perform a suction and blocking operation on the blocked ball planting hole 323 when it is determined that the ball planting hole 323 is blocked during the current ball planting operation and the ball planting is abnormal.

[0113] When it is determined that the ball is stuck in the ball planting hole 323, the controller can control the suction device 8 to perform a suction operation to remove the freeze-dried ball stuck in the ball planting hole 323. The suction device 8 can suck out the freeze-dried ball by vacuum adsorption. Specifically, the suction tube of the suction device 8 can move to abut against the outer wall of the freeze-dried ball, and adsorb the freeze-dried ball on the suction tube by sucking air, so as to remove the freeze-dried ball from the ball planting hole 323.

[0114] When the ball is blocked in the ball planting hole 323, the disc hole 121 on the disc 12 corresponding to the ball planting hole 323 cannot be implanted with the freeze-dried ball, so the disc 12 can be transported to the unloading device by a conveyor belt or a clamping claw or other equipment for recycling. At this time, when it is necessary to perform a ball planting operation on the disc 12 in the next disc group, the ball planting operation can be performed using other ball planting hole groups, thereby ensuring the continuity of the ball planting operation.

[0115] In the above embodiment, by automatically comparing and analyzing two adjacent first images, not only can the need for manual inspection be reduced, but also it can be accurately determined whether there is a ball blockage in the ball planting hole 323. When determining that the ball is blocked, the controller can perform a blockage suction operation, thereby effectively reducing manual intervention and improving the convenience of ball blockage processing. In addition, timely determination and removal of the blocked ball can avoid ball planting delays caused by ball blockage, effectively improving the ball planting efficiency of the ball planting device 3 and the reliability and practicality of the ball planting operation.

[0116] In some embodiments, the film-sticking device 4 includes a visual inspection device, which is used to visually inspect the disc 12 after film sticking and determine whether the disc 12 is in a normal state. When it is determined that the disc 12 is in a normal state, the disc 12 is transported to the packaging device under the drive of the conveyor 1.

[0117] The normal state can be specifically represented by the film body and the disc 12 being tightly fitted. The visual inspection device can be arranged on the side of the conveying member 1, and the conveying member 1 conveys the disc 12 after film application to the visual inspection device. When the visual inspection device determines that the disc 12 is in a normal state, the conveying member 1 can convey the disc 12 to the packaging device. When the visual inspection device determines that the disc 12 is in an abnormal state, it can be transferred by the conveying member 1 to the unloading device for recycling.

[0118] In the above embodiment, the visual inspection device can realize non-contact automatic inspection, reduce the cost of manual inspection and the possibility of misjudgment in manual operation, and effectively improve the assembly efficiency and assembly quality of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment.

[0119] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the freeze-dried ball assembly device also includes a packaging bag loading device 52 arranged beside the packaging device, and the packaging bag loading device 52 includes a material rack 51 and a material taking component 52 arranged below the material rack 51. The material rack 51 has a accommodating chamber 511 for stacking packaging bags, and the lower end of the accommodating chamber 511 has a discharge port 512. The material taking component 52 has a rotating component 521 and an adsorption component 522. The rotating component 521 can rotate between a first angle position and a second angle position relative to the material rack 51, and the adsorption component 522 is connected to the rotating component 521 so as to rotate with the rotating component 521. Among them, the adsorption component 522 has a first state and a second state. When the rotating component 521 rotates to the first angle position, the adsorption component 522 is in the first state to adsorb the packaging bag through the discharge port 512. When the rotating component 521 rotates to the second angle position, the adsorption component 522 is in the second state to release the packaging bag.

[0120] like Figure 6As shown, the material rack 51 can be tilted to facilitate users to add packaging bags to the accommodating cavity 511 of the material rack 51. In addition, there can be two material racks 51, which are arranged in parallel. The outlet 512 of each material rack 51 can be provided with a corresponding adsorption component 522, and the rotating component 521 can drive the two adsorption components 522 to rotate to simultaneously adsorb the packaging bags in the two material racks 51, thereby greatly improving the loading speed of the packaging bag loading device 52.

[0121] The first angle position can be specifically represented by the position when the rotating component 521 drives the adsorption component 522 to rotate to the discharge port 512 of the material rack 51. The second angle position can be specifically represented by the position when the rotating component 521 drives the adsorption component 522 to rotate to the position where the packaging bag can be placed.

[0122] The first state and the second state can respectively represent different usage states of the adsorption component 522. Specifically, the first state can be represented as the adsorption state of the adsorption component 522. In the first state, the adsorption component 522 can adsorb the packaging bag by generating negative pressure. The second state can be represented as the release state of the adsorption component 522. In the second state, the pressure inside the adsorption component 522 will change, thereby balancing the internal and external pressures of the adsorption component 522, thereby eliminating the adsorption force and releasing the packaging bag.

[0123] The adsorption component 522 may be a suction cup. The suction cup is used to adsorb the packaging bag, which not only makes it convenient to take the packaging bag, but also prevents the packaging bag from being damaged.

[0124] In the above embodiment, a plurality of packaging bags can be stacked in the accommodating chamber 511 of the material rack 51. When the rotating component 521 rotates to the first angle position, the adsorption component 522 can rotate with the rotating component 521 and adsorb the packaging bag through the discharge port 512 of the accommodating chamber 511. After the adsorption of the packaging bag is completed, the rotating component 521 can be rotated to the second angle position, at which time the adsorption component 522 can release the packaging bag. In this way, automatic loading of packaging bags is realized, replacing the traditional manual loading method, greatly reducing the dependence on operators and the consumption of labor costs, and effectively improving the loading efficiency of the packaging bag loading device 52. When the packaging bag loading device 52 is applied to packaging equipment, it can effectively improve the speed and efficiency of packaging.

[0125] In some embodiments, the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment further includes a labeling device, which is disposed downstream of the packaging device along the conveying direction of the conveyor 1 , and is used to label the packaged discs 12 .

[0126] When the conveyor 1 conveys the disc 12 to the labeling device, the labeling component can move toward the conveyor 1 to label the disc 12. The label can be used to mark the specific information of the disc 12, thereby facilitating the operator's distinction and management.

[0127] In the above embodiment, labeling the disc 12 by a labeling device can not only reduce the use of manpower and improve the automation level of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment, but also ensure the consistency of the labeling operation, effectively improving the labeling effect of the labeling device.

[0128] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a flipping device 6 is also provided beside the labeling device, and the flipping device 6 includes two flipping assemblies 61 and a synchronous moving assembly 62. The two flipping assemblies 61 can move between an initial position 612 close to each other and a marking position 613 away from each other, and the flipping assembly 61 has a carrier 611 for carrying the disc 12. The synchronous moving assembly 62 is respectively connected to the two flipping assemblies 61, and is used to simultaneously drive the two flipping assemblies 61 away from each other or close to each other. Among them, the carrier 611 is constructed as follows: when the flipping assembly 61 is located at the marking position 613, it reciprocates along the first direction to obtain the disc 12, and rotates along the second direction to drive the disc 12 to flip.

[0129] The initial position 612 may be indicated as the position of the flip assembly 61 when it does not cause the disk 12 to flip, and the marking position 613 may be indicated as the position of the flip assembly 61 when it causes the disk 12 to flip. When labeling is performed on the front side of the disk 12, the flip assembly 61 may be located at the initial position 612 to avoid interfering with the labeling operation. When labeling is required on the back side of the disk 12, the flip assembly 61 may move to the marking position 613 and move in the vertical direction to pick up the disk 12. After picking up the disk 12, the disk 12 may be driven to flip so that the back side of the disk 12 is exposed.

[0130] The synchronous moving component 62 can be disposed between the two flipping components 61 , and can drive the two flipping components 61 to move from the initial position 612 to the marking position 613 , or from the marking position 613 to the initial position 612 at the same time through the synchronous moving component 62 .

[0131] The flipping device 6 may further include a slide groove, the two ends of which may be respectively arranged corresponding to the initial position 612 and the marking position 613 , and the flipping component 61 may be slidably connected to the slide groove and reciprocate along the slide groove between the initial position 612 and the marking position 613 .

[0132] In the above embodiment, the synchronous moving component 62 can drive the two flipping components 61 to reciprocate between the initial position 612 and the marking position 613 at the same time. When the flipping component 61 moves to the marking position 613, the flipping component 61 can pick up the disc 12 and drive the disc 12 to flip, so that the back of the disc 12 can be flipped upward, and then the front and / or back of the disc 12 can be labeled by the labeling device. In this way, the time required for flipping the disc 12 is greatly reduced, and the labeling speed and efficiency of the disc 12 are effectively improved. In addition, the use of a synchronous moving component 62 can drive the movement of two flipping components 61 at the same time, which effectively simplifies the mechanical connection structure of the flipping device 6 and reduces the manufacturing cost of the flipping device 6.

The winding shaft 71 includes at least two movably connected winding bodies. The driving assembly 72 drives at least two winding bodies to move away from each other to be in a film wrapping state or to move closer to each other to be in a film removal state. In the film wrapping state, the first winding shaft 71 formed by at least two winding bodies has a first outer peripheral wall with a first outer diameter, and the waste film is wound on the first outer peripheral wall; in the film removal state, the second winding shaft 71 formed by at least two winding bodies has a second outer peripheral wall with a second outer diameter, and the waste film is separated from the second outer peripheral wall, and the first outer diameter is greater than the second outer diameter.

[0134] The winding shaft 71 may be cylindrical in shape, and at least two winding bodies may enclose the cylindrical winding shaft 71. The first winding shaft 71 and the second winding shaft 71 may respectively represent different states of the winding shaft 71, and at least two movably connected winding bodies may form the first winding shaft 71 when they are away from each other, and form the second winding shaft 71 when they are close to each other.

[0135] When the driving assembly 72 drives at least two movably connected winding bodies away from each other, the at least two movably connected winding bodies can form a first peripheral wall with a larger diameter, and the waste film can be wound on the first peripheral wall. When the driving assembly 72 drives at least two movably connected winding bodies closer to each other, the at least two movably connected winding bodies can form a second peripheral wall with a smaller diameter, and a movable gap can be formed between the second peripheral wall and the inner wall of the waste film, so that the waste film can be removed from the winding shaft 71.

[0136] In the above embodiment, the driving component 72 can make at least two movably connected winding bodies of the winding shaft 71 move away from each other and form a first peripheral wall, and the waste film can be wound on the first peripheral wall. When the waste film is wound, the driving component 72 can make at least two movably connected winding bodies of the winding shaft 71 move closer to each other and form a second peripheral wall, and the wound waste film can be separated from the second peripheral wall, so that the waste film can be quickly and conveniently removed, which greatly simplifies the operation steps of cleaning the waste film and effectively improves the convenience and efficiency of cleaning the waste film.

[0137] In some embodiments, the ball storage plate assembly 31 also includes the first driving member 316, and the ball planting plate assembly 32 also includes the second driving member 325. The controller is used to control the first driving member 316 and / or the second driving member 325 to move in a swinging manner when the ball planting plate 321 is at the ball planting position height.

[0138] The first driving member 316 can be connected to one end of the ball storage plate 311 and drive the other end of the ball storage plate 311 to swing. Similarly, the second driving member 325 can be connected to one end of the ball planting plate 321 and drive the other end of the ball planting plate 321 to swing.

[0139] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first rotating shaft 38 may be provided above the ball storage plate 311, and one end of the ball storage plate 311 may be sleeved on the first rotating shaft 38. When the first driving member 316 drives the first rotating shaft 38 to rotate, the other end of the ball storage plate 311 may be driven to swing. Similarly, a second rotating shaft 39 may be provided below the ball planting plate 321, and one end of the ball planting plate 321 may be sleeved on the second rotating shaft 39. When the second driving member 325 drives the second rotating shaft 39 to rotate, the other end of the ball planting plate 321 may be driven to swing.

[0140] In the above embodiment, the controller can control the first driving member 316 and / or the second driving member 325 to move in a swinging manner, so that the freeze-dried balls in the ball storage space 312 can be quickly slid into the ball replenishing channel 313, or the freeze-dried balls in the ball planting space 322 can be quickly slid into the ball planting hole 323. This can simplify the operating steps of the first driving member 316 and the second driving member 325, thereby further improving the ball planting speed of the ball planting device 3.

[0142] When the shape of the conveyor member 1 is rectangular, the rectangular conveyor member 1 will form a closed area in the middle position thereof. By providing a first conveyor section and a second conveyor section with a height difference on the conveyor member 1, a part of the conveyor member 1 can be door-shaped, thereby facilitating operators to enter the closed area to perform maintenance and repair on the various devices in the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment.

[0143] The number of lifting devices may be two, and the two lifting devices may be arranged along the diagonal edges of the rectangular conveyor member 1 . This ensures the conveying efficiency of the conveyor member 1 and greatly facilitates the entry and exit of operators.

[0144] In the above embodiment, an entrance to a closed area can be formed on the conveyor 1 by having a first conveying section and a second conveying section with a height difference, and the operator can directly reach the area that needs maintenance through the entrance without disassembling or moving the various components of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment, which effectively saves maintenance time and improves maintenance efficiency. The lifting device can drive the carrier 11 to move between the first conveying section and the second conveying section to avoid the influence of the above-mentioned height difference on the conveying efficiency of the conveyor 1, further improving the practicality of the freeze-dried ball assembly equipment.
