Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sample storage, and in particular to an all-in-one post-processing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the medical industry, samples collected by medical personnel are often stored in dedicated storage refrigerators for low-temperature preservation. Typically, after sorting, sample tubes are automatically removed from the sorting equipment and transferred to the storage refrigerator by a transport mechanism, where the samples are placed on a storage tray.

[0003] However, in existing mechanical handling systems, the rotating cages within the storage refrigerators are equipped with a rotational function. During storage operations, the control system must separately drive the cage's rotation and guide the robotic arm to the refrigerator's access port. Due to the weight of the cage itself and the sample tubes it carries, the cage is heavily loaded, prone to significant deformation and rotational positioning deviations. This can cause the sample storage port on the cage to misalign with the access port, leading to unexpected collisions between the robotic arm and the cage. This poses the risk of equipment damage and sample contamination, and requires a high-energy drive motor to drive the cage, resulting in prohibitive costs.

[0004] Moreover, the current technology has a short range of robotic arms, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of long-distance transportation, limiting the improvement of transportation efficiency and affecting the overall level of automation.

[0005] Furthermore, after completing testing, several sample tubes on the testing line must undergo sorting and post-processing before entering the storage refrigerator for storage. Furthermore, depending on the testing task, samples already stored in the refrigerator must be transported back to the testing line for re-inspection or other testing. Furthermore, some sample tubes that have already entered post-processing equipment (such as those that were missed or require repeated testing) must also be returned to the testing line. To meet these diverse transport requirements, traditional post-processing equipment typically relies on multiple transport rails, resulting in a complex overall structure, large footprint, and, consequently, bulky equipment with high manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0006] Therefore, the prior art needs to be further developed. Summary of the Invention

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a post-processing integrated machine is provided. Figures 1 to 15 The post-processing integrated machine includes a storage refrigerator 10, which includes: a box body 1, a accommodating chamber 11 in the box body 1, a connecting port 12 connected to the accommodating chamber 11, a moving channel formed in the accommodating chamber 11, and the moving channel extends along a first preset direction; a storage tray 2, the storage tray 2 is arranged around the moving channel; there are multiple storage trays 2, and the multiple storage trays 2 are arranged at intervals along the first preset direction; the connecting port 12 is located on the side of the storage tray 2 away from the moving channel; a transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism includes a support frame 210 and a transfer assembly 230, the support frame 210 is rotatably arranged in the accommodating chamber 11 about the first preset direction, the transfer assembly 230 is movably mounted on the support frame 210 along the first preset direction, the transfer assembly 230 includes a transfer component 231, the transfer component 231 is used to transfer the material tray 200, and the transfer component 231 is movably arranged along a second preset direction so that the material tray 200 moves between the connecting port 12 and the moving channel, wherein the second preset direction is perpendicular to the first preset direction.

[0023] Specifically, the rotation axis of the support frame 210 extends along the first preset direction; the transfer assembly 230 includes a rotation drive component 220, which is driven and connected to the support frame 210 to drive the support frame 210 to rotate around the rotation axis; the transfer assembly 230, the transfer assembly 230 is movably connected to the support frame 210, and the transfer assembly 230 is movably arranged along the first preset direction.

[0024] Specifically, the support frame 210 is one of the core components of the entire transfer mechanism, and its rotation axis extends along a first preset direction. When the transfer mechanism is installed inside the storage refrigerator, that is, the support frame 210 extends along the length direction of the storage refrigerator, allowing the support frame 210 to rotate freely 360 degrees on the horizontal plane, thereby moving to any angle of the storage tray.

[0025] Specifically, the rotation drive component 220 is driven and connected to the support frame 210, and is used to drive the support frame 210 to rotate around the rotation axis, ensuring that the support frame 210 can accurately adjust the angle as needed, so that the transfer component 230 can be accurately positioned at the required position.

[0026] Specifically, the transfer component 230 is movably connected to the support frame 210 and is movably arranged along a first preset direction. The transfer component 231 can also move along a second preset direction (perpendicular to the first preset direction). The transfer component 231 can move in two mutually perpendicular directions, which greatly expands the operating range of the transfer component 230. This not only increases the selectivity of the transfer path, but also enables it to operate flexibly in three-dimensional space.

[0027] In this way, in the post-processing all-in-one machine of this embodiment, the storage tray 2 for storing samples is kept fixed, and the transfer component 231 is rotatable, so that the transfer component 231 can realize multi-dimensional spatial operation, and the transfer component 230 can realize three kinds of movements, including linear movement along a first preset direction, linear movement along a second preset direction (perpendicular to the first preset direction), and rotational movement around the rotation axis of the support frame, allowing the transfer component 231 to move to the specified position quickly and accurately while maintaining stability. When the storage tray is fixed, the material tray 200 can also be flexibly transferred, which significantly improves the flexibility and efficiency of transfer. In the process of transferring materials (such as sample tubes), it is only necessary to control the transfer mechanism to move so that the transfer component can accurately transfer materials through the connecting port 12, reducing the risk of collision between equipment, and increasing the movement range of the transfer component 231. It solves the problem of low transfer efficiency in traditional transfer mechanisms caused by problems such as short movement range and inaccurate positioning of the robotic arm, making the transfer process more efficient and accurate, and solving the technical problem of low transfer efficiency of the transfer mechanism in the storage refrigerator of the post-processing all-in-one machine in the related art.

[0028] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 7-9The transfer component 230 includes a fixed plate 232 and a driving plate 233. The fixed plate 232 is movably connected to the support frame 210, and the driving plate 233 is movably connected to the fixed plate 232; a first driving motor 2331 is provided on the driving plate 233, and a first driving gear 2332 is provided on the output shaft of the first driving motor 2331, and a first driving rack 2321 meshing with the first driving gear 2332 is provided on the fixed plate 232; a second driving motor 2311 is provided on the transfer component 231, and a second driving gear 2312 is provided on the output shaft of the second driving motor 2311, and a second driving rack 2333 meshing with the second driving gear 2312 is provided on the driving plate 233.

[0029] Specifically, the transfer assembly 230 includes: a fixed plate 232, which is movably connected to the support frame 210; a driving plate 233, which is movably connected to the fixed plate 232 and is movably arranged along a second preset direction. The driving plate 233 is mounted with a transfer member 231, which is movably connected to the driving plate 233. Through the above arrangement, the transfer member 231 and the driving plate 233 can both move along the second preset direction. By separately controlling the driving plate 233 and the transfer member 231 to move along the second preset direction, the transfer assembly 230 can achieve two-stage extension and retraction, thereby obtaining a longer travel range.

[0030] By setting the first driving gear 2332 and the second driving gear 2312, the driving plate 233 and the transfer component 231 both complete reciprocating movement through the gear rack structure. Compared with other driving mechanisms such as belts and pulleys used in the prior art, more effective strokes can be obtained, thereby increasing the movement stroke of the robotic arm and meeting the needs of long-distance transportation.

[0031] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 6-7 One end of the transfer component 231 is provided with a supporting portion for transferring the material tray 200, and the other end of the transfer component 231 is provided with an avoidance groove 2313, which is provided corresponding to the first drive motor 2331 located on the drive plate 233. The avoidance groove 2313 is provided to avoid the first drive motor 2331.

[0032] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 6The supporting portion includes a positioning member 2314, which is protruding from the transfer member 231 and abuts against a positioning groove on the surface of the material tray 200. The positioning member 2314 includes multiple positioning members 2314. The positioning members 2314 are provided to suspend the material tray 200. When the transfer member 231 transfers the material tray 200, the transfer member 231 is inserted under the material tray 200 to scoop up the material tray 200. Simultaneously, the positioning members 2314 can be inserted into the positioning groove on the surface of the material tray 200 for positioning, ensuring the material accuracy of the material tray 200 and preventing the material tray 200 from falling.

[0033] It should be noted that the positioning members are at least correspondingly provided on two outer surfaces of the material tray, thereby ensuring that the material tray is accurately positioned and preventing the material tray from being displaced.

[0034] In some embodiments, the positioning member is a positioning pin, the supporting portion is a flat plate structure, and the positioning member 2314 is protrudingly provided on the supporting portion.

[0035] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 6 The transfer mechanism includes a drive rod 240 extending along a first preset direction and having an external thread thereon, the drive rod 240 being threadedly connected to the fixed plate 232; and a lifting drive component drivably connected to the drive rod 240 to drive the drive rod 240 to rotate. Specifically, the drive rod 240 converts rotational motion into linear motion through the threaded engagement between the external thread and the fixed plate 232, thereby driving the fixed plate 232 and the connected transfer assembly 230 to move up and down along the first preset direction.

[0036] In some embodiments, the lifting drive component includes a lifting drive seat, which is provided with an internal thread. The lifting drive seat is threadedly connected to the drive rod 240, and a fixing plate 232 is fixed on the lifting drive seat.

[0037] In some embodiments, the lifting drive component includes a lifting drive motor and a belt. A pulley is installed on the output shaft of the lifting drive motor, and a pulley is also installed on the drive rod 240. The belt is distributed and connected to the pulley on the lifting drive motor and the pulley on the drive rod 240 to drive the drive rod 240 to rotate.

[0038] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 10The support frame 210 includes: a first support base 211 and a second support base 212, the first support base 211 and the second support base 212 are arranged at intervals along a first preset direction, and the first support base 211 and the second support base 212 are respectively rotatably connected to the box body 1; a support rod 213, the two ends of the support rod 213 are respectively connected to the first support base 211 and the second support base 212, the support rod 213 includes a first support rod 2131 and a second support rod 2132 arranged opposite to each other, the first support rod 2131 or the second support rod 2132 is hollow inside, the driving rod 240 is installed inside the first support rod 2131 or the second support rod 2132, and a moving channel is formed between the first support rod 2131 and the second support rod 2132, and the transfer component 230 is accommodated in the moving channel.

[0039] By providing a first support base 211 and a second support base 212 and arranging them at intervals along a first preset direction (usually a vertical direction or the length direction of the device), the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the support frame can be improved. A drive rod 240 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 213, and the drive rod 240 is compactly integrated inside or around the support rod 213, thereby saving space and making the overall structure more compact and efficient.

[0040] By using a double support rod design (first support rod 2131 and second support rod 2132), the mechanical strength and stability of the entire support frame can be improved. The moving channel between the first support rod 2131 and the second support rod 2132 provides a channel for avoidance and movement for the transfer component 230, making the overall layout more compact.

[0041] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 6 The rotation drive component 220 includes: a rotation drive motor, a first pulley disposed on the output shaft of the rotation drive motor; a second pulley 221 connected to the first support base 211 or the second support base 212; and a first transmission belt, which is sleeved on the first and second pulleys 221. By using the pulleys and transmission belts for power transmission, a smooth and continuous power transmission process can be achieved, driving the support frame 210 to rotate.

[0042] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 5The post-processing integrated machine includes a sorting unit 20, which includes: a sample circulation module, the sample circulation device is used to receive a single material and transport the single material to the download position 136; a cache area 3, a cache material tray is placed in the cache area 3, and the cache material tray is used to cache a single material from the download position 136; a docking area 4, the docking area 4 is used to store the material tray 200, and the docking area 4 is connected to the connecting port 12; a sorting robot arm 5, the sorting robot arm 5 is used to transfer the single material located at the download position 136 to the cache area 3, or transfer the material in the cache area 3 to the material tray 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The sorting unit 20 is connected to the detection line. A single material from the detection line, such as a single sample tube, enters the sorting unit 20 for sorting and classification. The classified material enters the buffer area 3 for temporary storage, and the sorting robot arm 5 transfers the material in the buffer area 3 to the material tray 200, and then transfers it to the storage refrigerator 10 through the transfer mechanism.

[0044] Specifically, the sample circulation device is used to receive a single material from the detection assembly line and transport the single material to the download position 136. The sorting robot arm 5 is used to transfer the single material located at the download position 136 to the cache material tray in the cache area 3 for temporary storage, and complete the classification action in this process, that is, transfer different materials to different cache material trays, and transfer the cached materials to the material tray 200 in the docking area 4 according to the storage instructions, and finally transfer the materials to the storage tray 2 at the designated position of the storage refrigerator through the transfer mechanism.

[0045] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11-15 The sample circulation module includes: an input track 110 and an output track 120, the input track 110 includes a first input end 111 and a first output end 112 arranged at intervals along the transportation direction of the input track 110, and the output track 120 includes a second input end 121 and a second output end 122 arranged at intervals along the transportation direction of the output track 120; a same-track switching component 130, the same-track switching component 130 is arranged between the first input end 111 and the first output end 112, and the same-track switching component 130 is used to intercept the material tray 100 on the input track 110 and let it pass after a preset time; a different-track switching component 140, the different-track switching component 140 is used to intercept the material tray 100 output from the first output end 112 of the input track 110 and transfer the material tray 100 to the second input end 121 of the output track 120.

[0046] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, the first input end 111 is connected to the detection pipeline, and the material after detection (such as the sample tube) enters the input track 110 through the first input end 111. The same track switching component 130 is provided with a capping position 135 and an unloading position 136. When the same track switching component 130 rotates to make the sample tube reach the capping position 135, the sample tube is capped at the capping position 135, so that the cover body and the sample tube body are combined into one. After the capping is completed, the same track switching component 130 rotates to make the sample tube reach the unloading position 136, and the sample tube is transferred to the cache tray for cache by the sorting robot arm on the sorting equipment, that is, the material tray 100 is in an empty state after passing the unloading position. After the cache tray caches a certain number of sample tubes, the certain number of sample tubes are transferred together to the storage refrigerator 10 for storage according to the storage instruction.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second output end 122 is also connected to the detection pipeline. The material tray 100 output by the output track 120 enters the detection pipeline through the second output end 122. The off-track switching component 140 intercepts the empty material tray 100 output by the first output end 112 of the input track 110. The off-track switching component 140 is provided with a loading position 143. The third turntable 141 in the off-track switching component 140 is rotated to make the empty material tray reach the loading position 143. The samples stored in the refrigerator are transferred one by one to the material tray located at the loading position 143 by the robotic arm. The third turntable 141 continues to be rotated. When the third notch 142 is connected to the output track 120, the sample tube newly transferred to the material tray is output to the detection pipeline through the output track 120.

[0048] In the post-processing integrated machine of the present embodiment, the same-track switching component 130 is arranged between the first input end 111 and the first output end 112 of the input track 110, and can intercept and temporarily store the material tray 100. For example, it can be released after completing processes such as capping and transferring of sample tubes, avoiding the need to set up separate tracks for different operations and reducing the need for branch tracks; the different-track switching component 140 is responsible for transfer between different tracks, replacing the traditional cross track or transfer mechanical structure, and does not require additional transfer tracks. The sample circulation module in this embodiment integrates the functions of multiple independent tracks required in the traditional solution into two tracks, reducing the number and complexity of the transfer tracks, and using switching components to manage the sample flow, significantly reducing the required space, reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment itself, making the entire post-processing equipment more compact, and solving the technical problem of the complex structure of the sample circulation module in the post-processing equipment in the related art.

[0049] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11The sample circulation module includes a scheduling component 150 , which is used to intercept the material tray 100 input from the first input end 111 and transfer the material tray 100 to the second output end 122 .

[0050] By setting up a scheduling component, the circulation needs of some sample tubes that need to be missed or re-inspected can be met. Urgent samples (such as priority re-inspection) can bypass the regular process and go directly to the output track. Combined with RFID scanning data, when special marked samples (such as urgent, high-risk samples) are identified, the scheduling component 150 directly transfers such sample tubes to the output track 120, directly skipping the subsequent conveying path, and there is no need to cap or enter the refrigerator for temporary storage, and there is no need to go through the complete path of the input track 110. When encountering urgent tasks or specific samples that need priority processing in the detection pipeline, the scheduling component 150 can quickly transfer them from the first input end 111 directly to the second output end 122. This design enables the system to support more diverse operating modes and improves the system's response speed and adaptability, such as directly skipping certain steps (such as capping) or directly entering specific subsequent processing steps, increasing flexibility and reducing the need for additional transmission tracks.

[0051] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11 The input track 110 and the output track 120 are spaced apart, and a slot 151 is provided on the dispatching component 150 for accommodating the material tray 100. The dispatching component 150 is rotatably disposed between the input track 110 and the output track 120. In this way, the input track 110 and the output track 120 are spaced apart, thereby meeting the emergency dispatching needs of the dispatching component 150 and facilitating the material tray to directly cross the gap between the input track 110 and the output track 120 through the dispatching component 150.

[0052] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11 The on-track switching assembly 130 includes a first turntable 131 having a first notch 133 for accommodating the material tray 100; a second turntable 132 spaced apart from the first turntable 131 and fixedly connected to the first turntable 131 via a connecting member. The second turntable 132 has a second notch 134 for accommodating material, the second notch 134 corresponding to the first notch 133; both the second turntable 132 and the first turntable 131 are rotatably arranged to move the material to the download position 136. The first turntable 131 and the first notch 133 are provided to carry the material tray 100, and the second turntable 132 and the second notch 134 are provided to support the sample tube, thereby providing more stable support for the sample tube.

[0053] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11The sample circulation module includes a capping position 135 spaced apart from the unloading position 136 and a capping positioning component 160 disposed at the capping position 135. The capping positioning component 160 includes a positioning groove 161, which is recessed and extends in the same direction as the height of the material. The material is accommodated between the positioning groove and the second notch 134. The detection component 162 is disposed in correspondence with the cap body of the material and is used to detect whether capping is completed. The positioning groove 161 is provided to support the material (such as a sample tube) during the capping process, so that the sample tube is confined between the positioning groove and the second notch 134, preventing the sample tube from tilting or falling, thereby ensuring smooth capping of the sample tube. The detection component 162 is provided to detect whether the cap body is connected to the tube body and whether capping is completed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the detection component 162 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor.

[0055] In some embodiments, multiple detection components 162 can be set according to the height types of sample tubes to detect covers at different heights. For example, if the commonly used sample tube heights are 100 mm and 75 mm, two detection components 162 can be set, and the two detection components 162 are set corresponding to the two heights of 100 mm and 75 mm respectively.

[0056] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 12 The first turntable 131 is provided with a plurality of first notches 133, which are spaced apart around the axis of the first turntable 131; and / or the second turntable 132 is provided with a plurality of second notches 134, which are spaced apart around the axis of the second turntable 132. The provision of multiple first notches 133 and multiple second notches 134 increases the number of material trays that can be transferred at a time. By rotating the track switching assembly 130, different first notches 133 or second notches 134 can be connected to the input track 110 or the capping position 135, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the material trays.

[0057] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 13 The track switching component 140 includes a third turntable 141 having a third notch 142 for accommodating the material tray 100. The third turntable 141 is rotatably arranged so that the third notch 142 is connected to the input track 110 and the output track 120. By providing the third turntable 141, the third turntable 141 can be rotated to quickly transfer the material tray 100 from the input track 110 to the output track 120, achieving efficient sample transportation. By using a single rotatable third turntable 141 instead of multiple complex transfer tracks, the layout of the entire system is more compact, reducing the required space.

[0058] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 13 The third turntable 141 is provided with a plurality of third notches 142, which are spaced apart around the axis of the third turntable 141. Providing multiple third notches 142 increases the number of material trays that can be transferred at a time. By rotating the third turntable 141, different third notches 142 can be connected to the input track 110, the output track 120, or the loading station 143, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the material trays.

[0059] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11 The input track 110 includes a rotatable input conveyor belt 171 and an input drive assembly driven and connected to the input conveyor belt 171, and the input conveyor belt 171 is used to transport the material tray 100; and / or the output track 120 includes a rotatable output conveyor belt 172 and an output drive assembly driven and connected to the output conveyor belt 172, and the output conveyor belt 172 is used to transport the material tray 100. The input conveyor belt 171 and the output conveyor belt 172 are rotatably arranged to achieve continuous and stable transportation of the material tray 100 on the track. In conjunction with their respective drive assemblies, the operating speed and start and stop status of the input and output tracks can be independently controlled. The input and output tracks adopt a modular design and are each equipped with an independent drive assembly, so that the system can flexibly adjust the operating status of different tracks according to actual needs, for example: pausing a track for sample processing; adjusting the conveying speed to match the detection rhythm; and realizing multi-task parallel processing.

[0060] In the post-processing integrated machine of this embodiment, see Figure 11 The sample circulation module includes a material detection component 180, which is disposed at the first input terminal 111 and / or the second output terminal 122.

The material detection component 180 is used to detect the presence of the sample tube and obtain the height of the material. The operating height of the manipulator is controlled based on the height of the sample tube.

[0061] In some embodiments, the material detection component 180 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor.

By providing multiple buffer areas, materials can be transferred to different buffer areas according to their types, facilitating the material sorting process and improving the sorting capacity of the sorting unit 20.

[0063] In some embodiments, the post-processing integrated machine includes a feed drawer 6 arranged on the sorting unit 20. The feed drawer 6 can be pulled out and opened manually outside the sorting unit 20 to allow sample tubes and other materials to enter the feed drawer 6, so that the materials do not need to go through the inspection line and sorting, and storage can be completed faster.

[0064] In some embodiments, the post-processing integrated machine includes a cap sorting device 7, which is used to integrate a large number of cap bodies and arrange them one by one to facilitate the capping robot 8 to grab the cap bodies, and the capping robot 8 will put the grabbed cap bodies on the sample tubes located at the capping position 135.

[0065] In some embodiments, the post-processing integrated machine includes a capping and clamping device 92 and a shaking device 91. For example, if a sample tube transferred from the storage refrigerator 10 needs to be re-inspected, the cap can be removed by the capping and clamping device 92, and shaken by the shaking device 91, and then enter the detection line for inspection, which improves the convenience of re-inspection and realizes automatic re-inspection without human intervention.

[0066] In some embodiments, the post-processing machine includes a recycling device 93 for recycling discarded sample tubes.

[0068] 2. Sample sorting: A same-track switching component 130 is provided on the input track 110, which can intercept the material tray 100, and release the material tray to continue moving forward after completing the transfer of the cap and sample tube. Then the different-track switching component 140 is responsible for transferring the material tray 100 coming out of the first output end 112 of the input track to the second input end 121 of the output track 120, so that the material tray 100 returns to the detection assembly line.
