Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sample inspection and testing equipment, and particularly relates to a system and working method for realizing rapid and automatic fixed-quantity weighing of samples. Background Art
[0002] In laboratories in the field of inspection and testing, weighing samples is the most common and necessary operation step in the laboratory. As long as quantitative analysis experimental testing work is carried out, accurately weighing a quantitative sample is the primary step to ensure the accuracy of subsequent analysis and testing data. Currently, in laboratories, electronic balances are generally used to weigh samples. For example, the commonly used electronic balance with a sensitivity of 0.1 mg in laboratories generally has functions and advantages such as internal calibration, overload alarm, weighing unit conversion, data storage and printing, wind protection and stability, and user-friendly interface. Currently, the weighing technology of electronic balances themselves has developed relatively maturely.
[0003] In geological laboratories of the natural resources system and inspection and testing laboratories of the environmental protection system, there is often a situation where the number of daily analysis and testing samples is large. On average, hundreds or even thousands of analysis and testing samples can be processed every day. There are also many analysis elements and supporting analysis methods. For example, for geochemical mapping sample analysis and testing of 76 elements, 16 analysis methods need to be supported. Each sample needs to be weighed separately 16 times. In total, thousands to tens of thousands of sample weighing workloads are generated in geological laboratories every day. Calculated according to the current situation of each person weighing 700 samples per day, dozens of people are required to keep weighing continuously in a working day. Another example is that there are dozens of detection indicators for soil in agriculture and environmental protection, and multiple analysis methods need to be supported to complete the task. Similarly, the same amount of sample weighing is required (that is: one sample is analyzed and tested for multiple elements or items. Due to the current technical level and process limitations, only multiple analysis methods can be used to complete the analysis and testing task of this sample, and this sample must be weighed separately multiple times), resulting in a large sample weighing workload in the laboratory. In addition to quantitatively weighing solid samples, sometimes liquid samples also need to be weighed. For example, the concentration unit of the standard solution in isotope ratio analysis is ng / g or μg / kg. The liquid standard configuration finally requires accurate quantitative mass, and a large amount of manpower will also be occupied when configuring multi-element isotope series standards. However, the above operations are relatively mechanical. Over time, it is easy for operators to become fatigued and make operational mistakes, resulting in a decline in work efficiency. In actual work, there is a particularly urgent need for an automatic weighing system that can quickly and accurately quantitatively weigh solid powders or liquid samples to complete the sample weighing task with high quality and high efficiency. When a large number of analysis tasks come, the weighing workload of dozens of people can be saved.
[0004] In the prior art, weighing samples still mostly relies on traditional pure manual operation and is carried out according to the operating procedures of the electronic balance in the laboratory. There are the following problems and deficiencies: 1. Sample cross - contamination. Due to the same amount of weighing, potential cross - contamination between samples may be caused by different sample - weighing personnel or the same sample - weighing personnel using the same sample - weighing spoon multiple times, which affects the quality of subsequent analysis and testing.
[0005] 2. High error rate. Since it is manual operation, incorrect operations such as mis - matching sample numbers and utensils often occur when personnel are fatigued, directly resulting in rework.
[0006] 3. When weighing samples with a fixed amount, it is difficult to judge and verify the accuracy of sample weighing on - site one by one; when weighing samples with an unfixed amount, data is generally recorded manually one by one and cannot be automatically stored immediately, with low efficiency and sometimes clerical errors.
[0007] 4. The entire sample - weighing process requires manual attendance. The operator must maintain a state of holding with both arms, which is prone to fatigue, with high labor intensity, difficult for continuous production, and low production efficiency.
[0008] 5. When weighing liquid samples, sometimes the liquid samples are toxic and harmful to the health of the sample - weighing personnel.
[0009] 6. The entire sample - weighing process is completely dependent on manual operation, with high labor costs and low economic benefits. Because a large number of sample - weighing personnel are required, the difficulty and cost of personnel management both increase.
[0010] Due to the above reasons, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically weigh samples with a fixed amount (solid powder and liquid) to liberate sample - weighing personnel for subsequent test and analysis work, so as to improve work efficiency and quality.
[0011] Patents (ZL202020000991.4 and ZL202011238713.3) have both designed vibrating fully - automatic intelligent sample - weighing instruments. Although they can achieve automatic weighing, they also have fatal defects. First, the vibration caused during vibration sampling may have an adverse impact on the accuracy of accurate weighing in the weighing part because sample weighing requires a horizontal and vibration - free environment. Second, in addition to similar particle sizes, if the specific gravity (density) between samples varies greatly, fixed - amount sample weighing cannot be achieved. Moreover, they cannot achieve quantitative sampling of liquid samples. Therefore, a system and working method for realizing rapid and automatic fixed - amount weighing of samples are designed to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy of existing fixed - amount sample - weighing equipment and the inability to weigh liquid samples. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Specifically, an indicator light and a number are provided on the container positioning seat for identification by the camera.

[0022] A working method of a system for realizing rapid automatic fixed-quantity weighing of samples includes the following steps: 1) Set the parameters for adding samples into the target sample bottles within the control system, and add different samples to the target sample bottles with different numbers. 2) Weighing of solid samples: The first robot controls the gripper to pick up the target sample bottle containing the set solid sample, pick up the target sample bottle from the target sample bottle placement slot and place it into the container placement slot, and the camera on the first robot identifies the container positioning seat number corresponding to the target sample bottle placement slot. 3) The first robot controls the gripper to pick up a 10mg spoon body, take solid sample from the corresponding solid bottle and pour it into the target sample bottle, then replace the spoon body according to the required sampling quantity until the solid sample reaches the target weight. After taring on the electronic balance and showing that it meets the weight requirement, the first robot controls the gripper to pick up the target sample bottle from the container placement slot and place it back into the original target sample bottle placement slot.

The camera assists in positioning the position of the container positioning seat. The indicator light on the placed container positioning seat lights up, indicating that the sample addition is completed, reminding the operator to take it away after the turntable rotates to the sampling area, completing one liquid sample sampling, and sequentially circulating to add the same liquid sample. 8) Before adding different liquid samples, the second robot controls the gripper to place the liquid inlet pipe into the corresponding liquid bottle. At this time, the liquid outlet pipe is still in the waste liquid pool. After 5 seconds, if liquid sample enters the waste liquid pool, the liquid sample fills the entire conveying pipeline, and then the gripper places the liquid outlet pipe into the target sample bottle in the container placement slot.
