Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical technology, and in particular is a device for laser printing information and bar codes on the outer wall of a blood collection tube and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Blood collection is one of the more common operations in the medical process and needs to be carried out in a certain order to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation. Before blood collection, medical staff should check the doctor's instructions and affix corresponding labels to the test tubes to ensure that the collected specimens are consistent with the patient's information.

[0003] In the prior art, paper labels are usually printed by labeling machines, which are then manually affixed to test tubes. This is inefficient and slow, resulting in long queues during peak hours and long waiting times for patients. Manual affixing is prone to angle deviation, which is inconvenient for subsequent automatic detection equipment to scan and identify. The cost of related consumables for the use of a large number of paper labels is also a large expense. Therefore, a device is needed to laser print information and barcodes on the outer wall of a blood collection tube. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for laser printing information and barcodes on the outer wall of a blood collection test tube and a method of using the device, which can perform laser printing on the test tube and improve label marking efficiency.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a device for laser printing information and barcodes on the outer wall of a blood collection test tube, comprising a base and a test tube, the test tube is prefabricated with an engraving layer, and a test tube holder and a laser engraving machine are provided on the base;

[0006] The test tube holder comprises an electric lead screw, a mounting platform is slidably connected to the electric lead screw, a cylinder is arranged on the mounting platform, an output shaft of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting plate, a driver is arranged on the rotating rod for driving the rotating rod to rotate, and a mechanical claw for grabbing the test tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod;

[0007] An electric hatch is provided on the base, and a material delivery bin and a controller for storing test tubes of various colors are provided inside the base.

[0008] The following beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above scheme: the user fills the material delivery bin with unengraved test tubes. When starting work, the electric hatch opens, the cylinder contracts to lower the mechanical claw into the material delivery bin to grab the material, and then the cylinder extends to lift the mechanical claw, take out the test tube and close it. This prevents pollutants and dust from entering the material delivery bin during engraving. The mechanical claw is moved by the lead screw, and the driver rotates the mechanical claw so that the mechanical claw faces the laser engraving machine, and the laser engraving machine engraves information on the engraving layer of the test tube. The engraving layer is applied to the test tube before leaving the factory, surrounding the test tube, and there is no need for position detection like paper labels. After engraving is completed, the mechanical claw is rotated and moved out by the lead screw. Medical staff can take the test tube for blood collection.

[0009] Compared with the existing technology, information barcodes can be printed on test tubes through automated control, reducing manual workload and improving work efficiency. The laser engraving machine does not require pasting, reducing work steps and eliminating the skew effect caused by manual pasting.

[0010] Furthermore, the driver includes a motor, a first gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, a second gear is coaxially mounted on the rotating rod via a sliding key, the second gear is rotatably connected to the mounting platform, and the first gear and the second gear are transmitted via a belt.

[0011] Beneficial effect: The motor can drive the first gear to rotate, and then the belt is used to transmit the rotation of the rotating rod, thereby changing the direction of the mechanical claw.

[0012] Furthermore, a photoelectric laser switch is provided on the base, and the photoelectric laser switch is located on both sides of the electric door.

[0013] Beneficial effect: The photoelectric laser switch can be triggered by the mechanical claw. When the engraving is completed, the electric lead screw drives the mechanical claw to move, which will trigger the photoelectric laser switch. After the photoelectric laser switch is triggered, the electric hatch will automatically open.

[0014] Furthermore, an identity recognition card reader is provided on the base.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The card reader is used to authenticate the user and verify the user's identity.

[0016] Furthermore, a test tube collection box is provided on the base.

[0017] Beneficial effect: After the engraving is completed, the mechanical claw will put the engraved test tube into the test tube collection box and start engraving the next test tube without waiting for the user to take it away from the mechanical claw, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, a test tube transport assembly is provided on the base, and the test tube transport assembly extends to the next workstation.

[0019] Beneficial effect: After engraving is completed, the robot gripper can choose to place the test tube on the transfer component, so that the test tube can flow directly to the next station, facilitating the coordination between stations.

[0020] Furthermore, the laser engraving machine is a three-axis laser engraving machine, the laser engraving machine prints in a single 120° fan-shaped range, and the laser engraving machine is preset with automatic zoom and automatic compensation programs.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The three-axis laser engraving machine can solve the problem of image distortion, adopts a single 120° sector range printing, can quickly complete information engraving, automatic zoom and automatic compensation functions, so that it can adapt to various tube diameters and reduce the workload of manual debugging.

[0022] Furthermore, the method for using the device for laser printing information and barcodes on the outer wall of a blood collection tube comprises the following steps:

[0023] Step 1: Apply a carving layer on the test tube, the carving layer surrounds the test tube, and place the coated test tube into a material delivery bin for material preparation;

[0024] Step 2: Swipe the ID card to start, the controller will read the information to be printed, generate the information barcode, and the mechanical claw will complete the test tube removal and engraving work;

[0025] Step three, after engraving is completed, the mechanical claw places the test tubes into the test tube collection box. The user can engrave the test tubes in batches and then take them out from the test tube collection box for subsequent work.

[0026] Beneficial effects: the engraving layer surrounds the test tube for a week, so there is no need to locate the label position in the circumferential direction; the test tube collection box can store the engraved test tubes, so that the engraving work can be carried out in batches to improve work efficiency.

[0027] Furthermore, in step three, blood collection and engraving are divided into two workstations. After engraving is completed, the mechanical claw transports the test tube to the operating station through the test tube conveying component for blood collection.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The engraving and blood collection work can be separated. The operation station completes the storage and use of the test tube, and the engraving station only needs to continuously input the patient information for engraving. Through the coordination of the stations, the work efficiency is improved. In the case of multiple stations, after calculating the work efficiency, one device can be used with multiple stations, and a concealed conveyor belt is used to deliver to each station, reducing equipment costs.
