Detailed implementation manner

[0039] The present invention provides a conveying device for packaging medical sampling tubes as shown in Figures 1 to 5 Figure, which includes a conveying frame 1. Between the two sides inside the conveying frame 1, a first bracket 3 and a guiding frame 24 are fixed. The guiding frame 24 is arranged above the conveyor belt 2 and is fixed between the two sides inside the conveying frame 1. There is a spacing between the bottom of the guiding frame 24 and the surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0040] The conveying frame 1 is the basic framework of the entire conveying device, used to support and fix other components such as the conveyor belt 2, the guiding frame 24, and the first bracket 3. It is usually made of strong stainless steel material to ensure the stability and durability of the device.

[0041] The bottom of the conveying frame 1 is connected with a plurality of supporting legs, which are used to support the entire device and keep it stable.

[0042] The conveyor belt 2 is drivingly connected inside the conveying frame 1 and realizes continuous movement through motor drive.

[0043] Specifically, a driving roller and a driven roller are respectively rotatably connected at both ends inside the conveying frame 1. The conveyor belt 2 is drivingly connected between the driving roller and the driven roller, and the driving motor is installed at a suitable position on the conveying frame 1, usually at one end of the conveyor belt 2. The driving motor drives the driving roller to rotate. Since the conveyor belt 2 is a prior art, it will not be described in detail.

[0044] And the guiding frame 24 is arranged in a funnel shape, and a guiding mechanism 8 is rotatably connected to the narrow end of the guiding frame 24;

[0045] One end of the guiding mechanism 8 away from the guiding frame 24 is provided with four conveying channels;

[0046] Among them, the guiding mechanism 8 includes a first guide plate 10 and a second guide plate 11. A material conveying channel is formed between the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11, and a pipe body 14 is conveyed in the material conveying channel;

[0047] In the actual operation of the present invention, the pipe body 14 to be conveyed can be placed at one end of the surface of the conveyor belt 2. The pipe body 14 can be gathered through the funnel-shaped guide frame 24 and move towards the narrower end of the guide frame 24. The rotatable guiding mechanism 8 can guide the pipe body 14 output from one end of the guide frame 24 into any one of the conveying channels to complete the classified conveying.

[0048] A camera 4 is fixed at the top of the first bracket 3, and the camera 4 is arranged above the guide frame 24. The camera 4 is used to detect the shape of the conveyed pipe body 14, and the mirror surface of the camera 4 faces the pipe body 14. The camera 4 has an identification function and can transmit the captured image to the image processing system. The image processing system generally includes a computer (such as an industrial computer or an embedded computer), image processing software, and a storage device. The computer is responsible for running the image processing algorithm, the image processing software is used to analyze the image data, and the storage device is used to save the image data and the processing results. The image processing software has functions such as image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, analysis, and judgment. It can identify the appearance features of the sampling pipe, such as shape, size, color, label, etc., through algorithms, and compare them with the preset standards to judge whether the appearance of the sampling pipe is consistent.

[0049] The narrow end of the guide frame 24 and the feeding channel formed by the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11 facilitate the sequential passage of multiple pipe bodies 14 and avoid the parallel conveying of multiple pipe bodies 14 side by side. When the pipe body 14 passes through the narrow end of the guide frame 24, the camera 4 can monitor the pipe body 14. Through the image recognition function of the camera 4, the appearance and position of the sampling pipe can be monitored in real time, the appearance of the pipe body 14 can be monitored for compliance, and the accuracy and reliability of the conveying process can be ensured.

[0050] On one side of the first bracket 3 facing the partition 7, a second bracket 5 is provided. The second bracket 5 is fixed between the two inner sides of the conveying frame 1. A support plate 9 is fixed at the top of the second bracket 5, and a first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 9;

[0051] Through grooves 15 are respectively opened on the opposite sides of the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11. Rotating plates 16 are rotatably connected in the two through grooves 15. Telescopic connecting plates 19 are respectively connected to the mutually approaching ends of the two rotating plates 16. Laser infrared sensors 20 are respectively embedded on the opposite sides of the two push plates 19.

[0052] In the actual operation of the present invention, the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11 can rotate on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 driven by the first motor 6, so that the feeding channel formed between the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11 is docked with the conveying channel in the middle. The two conveying channels in the middle can convey qualified pipe bodies 14, and the conveying channels on both sides are used to convey unqualified pipe bodies 14.

[0053] As shown Figure 3 in the figure, the four conveying channels can be successively divided into a first channel, a second channel, a third channel, and a fourth channel from left to right. The first channel and the fourth channel are used to convey unqualified pipe bodies 14, and the second channel and the third channel are used to convey qualified pipe bodies 14.

[0054] Guide marks 22 are arranged in both of the outermost two conveying channels. The guide marks 22 are arranged on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and are used to mark that the outermost two conveying channels are the channels for discharging unqualified pipe bodies 14. Even when the conveyor belt 2 is rotating, it can still play a marking role. Multiple guide marks 22 can be arranged along the length direction of the conveyor belt 2.

[0055] Second motors 12 are fixed to the tops of both the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11. A rotating shaft is fixed to one side of the tops of two rotating plates 16 close to the guide frame 24. The top of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the through groove 15. The drive shafts at the bottoms of the two second motors 12 are connected to the corresponding rotating shafts. The two second motors 12 can drive the corresponding rotating plates 16 to rotate respectively, so that the two rotating plates 16 form an angle with the corresponding first guide plate 10 and second guide plate 11.

[0056] A fixing frame 13 is fixed between the tops of the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11 on the side close to the guide frame 24. The drive shaft at the bottom end of the first motor 6 is connected to the top of the fixing frame 13. The first motor 6 is used to drive the guiding mechanism 8 to rotate so that the guiding mechanism 8 is docked with the conveying channel.

[0057] When the feeding channel is docked with the third channel, at this time, the unqualified pipe body 14 moves between the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11. The laser infrared sensor 20 can detect the approach of the pipe body 14. At this time, the second motor 12 is started to open the corresponding rotating plate 16. The end of the rotating plate 16 corresponds to the outermost partition plate 7 in the fourth channel, forming a second feeding channel. At this time, the electric push rod 18 on the other rotating plate 16 is started, and the unqualified pipe body 14 can be pushed into the second feeding channel and discharged from the fourth channel, completing the classification of the qualified and unqualified products of the pipe body 14.

[0058] After the unqualified pipe body 14 is discharged, the opened rotating plate 16 returns to its original position to facilitate the next conveying. When the detection of the unqualified pipe body 14 is not required, the rotating plate 16 can not be opened, so that the guiding mechanism 8 can be docked with any one of the conveying channels for conveying different pipe bodies 14.

[0059] On one side of the two rotating plates 16 that are away from each other, U-shaped frames 17 are fixed. The U-shaped openings of the two U-shaped frames 17 are arranged opposite to each other. Electric push rods 18 are fixed inside the two U-shaped frames 17. A push plate 19 is fixed on the side of the electric push rod 18 facing the pipe body 14. A through hole 25 for the push plate 19 to extend out is formed on the rotating plate 16.

[0060] Specifically, the corresponding push plate 19 is driven by the electric push rod 18 to extend out, driving the unqualified pipe body 14 to move out between the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11.

[0061] Similarly, when the first guide plate 10, the second guide plate 11, and the second channel are aligned, the rotating plate 16 close to the first channel will open, facilitating the formation of a channel for discharging the unqualified pipe body 14 with the first channel.

[0062] The four conveying channels include five partition plates 7. There is a gap between every two partition plates 7, and the lengths of the five partition plates 7 gradually shorten from both sides of the conveyor belt 2 towards the inside, preventing the guiding mechanism 8 from colliding with the middle partition plate 7 when rotating left and right, which may affect the docking between the channels.

[0063] Elastic ends 21 are fixedly connected to one ends of the first guide plate 10 and the second guide plate 11 close to the conveying channels, playing a role in protecting the ends.

[0064] A support frame is fixed between the two sides inside the conveying frame 1. The tops of the five partition plates 7 are fixed inside the support frame;

[0065] One ends of the five partition plates 7 away from the guiding frame 24 are arranged to incline downward, and the bottom of the downward-inclined part is connected to a bottom plate 23, facilitating the downward discharge of the pipe body 14. Four collection boxes can be placed at the bottoms of the four conveying channels for receiving the pipe bodies 14 output from different channels, preventing the pipe bodies 14 from getting stuck or piling up during the conveying process.
