[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0046] For the vaccine workstation, some vaccines are delivered in the form of a whole box, and each box of vaccines includes a plurality of vaccine boxes. Each vaccine box includes a plurality of vaccines. When using the vaccine, the whole box is generally taken out, and the remaining vaccine is stored in the refrigerator after use. The vaccine workstation provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure mainly stores the vaccines in the form of boxes. Unless otherwise specified, the vaccine in the following refers to the whole box of vaccines in the packaging box. The supplementary vaccine refers to the operation of putting the boxed vaccine back into the vaccine workstation.

[0047] In combination with Figures 1-11As shown, the vaccine workstation provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a workstation body 10, a storage module 100, a vaccine receiving module 200 and a transfer module 300. The workstation body 10 has a low-temperature storage area 11 formed inside, and the workstation body 10 is provided with a vaccine supplementing opening 12 and a vaccine outlet opening 13. The storage module 100 is arranged in the low-temperature storage area 11, and the storage module 100 comprises a plurality of vaccine storage chutes 110. The vaccine receiving module 200 is arranged in the low-temperature storage area 11 and is opposite to the vaccine supplementing opening, and the vaccine receiving module 200 is provided with a plurality of vaccine receiving chutes 210. The transfer module 300 is arranged in the low-temperature storage area 11, and the transfer module 300 comprises a movable transfer chute 301, and the vaccine inlet end of the transfer chute 301 is adapted to be docked with the vaccine receiving chute 210, and the vaccine outlet end is adapted to be docked with the vaccine storage chute 110.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the workstation body 10 of the vaccine workstation has a low-temperature storage environment formed inside. Exemplarily, the workstation body 10 can be a cold storage with a large capacity and good temperature uniformity. Exemplarily, the workstation body 10 can be a heat preservation box with a small volume and a flexible arrangement position.

[0049] The vaccine workstation further comprises the storage module 100, and the storage module 100 comprises the vaccine storage chutes 110. The chute in the embodiment of the present disclosure refers to a storage unit with an inclined slope and two side limiting baffles, and the storage material can spontaneously slide from one end to the other end to store single or single-row materials. The storage module 100 comprises a plurality of vaccine storage chutes, and can store a plurality of different vaccines. In one use mode, only one box of vaccine is stored in each vaccine storage chute. In this way, the situation of first-in last-out when storing vaccines can be avoided. In another use mode, a plurality of vaccines of the same type or vaccines with the same packaging box size are stored in each vaccine storage chute. In this way, the number of vaccines that can be stored in the storage unit can be increased.

[0050] The workstation body 10 is provided with the vaccine supplementing opening 12. The opening size of the vaccine supplementing opening is smaller than the opening size of a conventional door body, and too much cold energy will not be leaked when the vaccine supplementing opening is opened.

[0051] The vaccine workstation further comprises the vaccine receiving module 200, and the vaccine receiving module 200 is docked with the vaccine supplementing opening. The vaccine receiving module 200 comprises a plurality of vaccine receiving chutes 210. The plurality of vaccine receiving chutes 210 can simultaneously store a plurality of vaccine boxes or a plurality of different vaccines. The staff performs vaccine sorting at the vaccine receiving window, and stores the vaccines into the vaccine receiving chutes 210 at the same time. In this way, the efficiency of storing vaccines into the vaccine workstation can be improved, and the opening time of the vaccine supplementing opening can be reduced.

[0052] The vaccine workstation further comprises a transfer module 300, which comprises a movable transfer chute 301. The transfer chute 301 moves to a position in abutment with the vaccine receiving chute 210, and the vaccine in the vaccine receiving chute 210 enters the transfer chute 301. The transfer chute 301 further moves to a position in abutment with the vaccine storage chute, and the vaccine in the transfer chute 301 slides into the vaccine storage chute 110. The staff can place multiple vaccine boxes in multiple vaccine receiving chutes 210 at one time, and the transfer module 300 transfers the vaccines one by one to the storage module 100.

[0053] Using the vaccine workstation provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sorting of vaccines is completed by the staff outside the low-temperature storage area 11, which improves the working environment of the staff. The vaccine receiving module 200 is provided with multiple vaccine receiving chutes 210, which improves the speed of sorting and placing vaccines into the low-temperature storage space and reduces the opening time of the vaccine supplement port. The vaccine sequentially passes through the vaccine receiving chute 210, the transfer chute 301 and the vaccine storage chute when entering the storage module 100. The vaccine slides in multiple chutes under the action of its own gravity, and the moving speed is relatively fast, which improves the efficiency of vaccine storage. In addition, the vaccine is transferred through multiple chutes, the distance that the transfer module 300 needs to move is relatively short, and the occupied space is relatively small.

[0054] Optionally, the vaccine receiving module 200 is in abutment with the top end of the vaccine supplement port 12 at the vaccine inlet end of the uppermost vaccine receiving chute 210.

[0055] The vaccine receiving module 200 comprises multiple vaccine receiving chutes 210, and the multiple vaccine receiving chutes 210 are divided into multiple rows from top to bottom, and each row comprises a vaccine receiving chute 210. From the perspective of the vaccine supplement port, the vaccine receiving module 200 presents multiple compartments. The cold air in the cold storage is located in the lower space under the action of the cold-heat density difference, and is not easy to overcome the action of gravity and escape to the outside of the low-temperature storage space against the transfer chute. In this way, the amount of cold air leakage during the supplement process can be reduced.

[0056] The vaccine receiving module 200 is in abutment with the top end of the vaccine supplement port 12 at the uppermost row of vaccine receiving chutes 210, and is in abutment with the bottom end of the vaccine supplement port 12 at the lowermost vaccine receiving chute 210. In this way, on the one hand, the utilization efficiency of the vaccine supplement port can be improved, so that the vaccine receiving module 200 can be provided with more vaccine receiving chutes 210. On the other hand, the slope of the vaccine receiving chute 210 can rely on the sealing effect of the vaccine supplement port 12, and the amount of cold air leakage in the low-temperature storage space during the supplement process can be reduced.

[0057] Optionally, the storage module 100 is higher than the vaccine supplement port 12 at the uppermost vaccine storage chute 110, and the transfer chute 301 can move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction to abut with the vaccine outlet end of any vaccine receiving chute and the vaccine inlet end of any vaccine storage chute 110.

[0058] The replenishment opening 12 is arranged at the middle of the side wall of the workstation body 10, and the storage module 100 is arranged above the uppermost storage chute 110, which is higher than the replenishment opening 12, so as to increase the utilization rate of the storage module 100 in the height direction of the low-temperature storage space, and the storage module 100 can be provided with more storage chutes 110 to store more vaccines. The transfer chute 301 can move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, so that any one of the vaccine receiving chute 210 can be indirectly connected with any one of the vaccine storage chute 110 through the transfer chute 301.

[0059] In this way, the number of vaccines stored in the vaccine workstation can be increased, and the efficiency of receiving vaccines from the outside and positioning the vaccines can be improved.

[0060] Optionally, the transfer module 300 further comprises a horizontal fixing frame 350, a horizontal driving mechanism 360, a vertical moving frame 370 and a vertical driving mechanism 380. The horizontal fixing frame 350 is arranged in the low-temperature storage area 11. The vertical moving frame 370 is slidably arranged in the horizontal fixing frame 350. The mechanical bucket 310 is slidably arranged in the vertical moving frame 370. The horizontal driving mechanism 360 is used to drive the vertical moving frame 370 to slide horizontally along the horizontal fixing frame 350. The vertical driving mechanism 380 is used to drive the mechanical bucket 310 to slide up and down along the vertical moving frame 370.

[0061] In order to realize the movement of the transfer chute 301 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, the transfer module 300 comprises a horizontal fixing frame 350 and a vertical moving frame. The horizontal fixing frame 350 comprises a horizontal moving track, and the vertical moving frame is slidably arranged in the horizontal moving track. The vertical moving frame 370 comprises a vertical moving track, and the transfer chute 301 is slidably arranged in the vertical moving track. The transfer module 300 comprises a horizontal driving mechanism 360 and a vertical driving mechanism 380. The horizontal driving mechanism 360 is used to drive the vertical moving frame 370 to slide along the horizontal moving track, so that the transfer chute 301 moves in the horizontal direction with the vertical moving frame 370. The vertical driving mechanism 380 is used to drive the transfer chute 301 to slide along the vertical moving track, so that the transfer chute 301 moves in the vertical direction. When the vaccine is taken from the vaccine receiving chute 210, the horizontal moving mechanism and the vertical moving mechanism act together to move the vaccine receiving chute 210 to the position of abutting with the vaccine receiving chute 210. After the vaccine enters the transfer chute 301, the horizontal moving mechanism and the vertical moving mechanism act together to move the vaccine receiving chute 210 to the position of abutting with the vaccine storage chute 110.

[0062] In this way, the vaccine receiving chute 210 can conveniently move in the two-dimensional plane formed by the outlet ends of the plurality of vaccine receiving chutes 210 or in the two-dimensional plane formed by the inlet ends of the plurality of vaccine storage chutes 110.

[0063] Optionally, the lateral fixing frame 350 is fixed to the top wall of the workstation body 10.

[0064] With such arrangement, the lateral moving frame is less likely to interfere with the seedling receiving module 200 or the storage module 100, and it is convenient for the staff to enter the low-temperature storage area 11 to operate the vaccines or maintain the functional modules. The top wall of the workstation body 10 can provide multiple fixing positions for the lateral fixing frame 350, which can improve the fixing effect of the lateral fixing frame 350 and the vertical moving frame 370 connected to the lateral fixing frame 350.

[0065] Optionally, the plurality of seedling receiving chutes 210 include multiple different widths to adapt to different specifications of vaccines, and the plurality of vaccine storage chutes 110 include multiple different widths to adapt to different specifications of vaccines; the mechanical hopper 310 includes a base plate 311, a first side plate 312 and a second side plate 314, wherein the base plate 311 forms a transfer chute 301 on the upper side; the first side plate 312 serves as one side wall of the transfer chute 301; the second side plate 314 serves as the other side wall of the transfer chute 301; the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 are relatively movable to adjust the width of the transfer chute 301.

[0066] The plurality of seedling receiving chutes 210 include different widths, which means that the plurality of seedling receiving chutes 210 have at least two and more than two widths. The seedling receiving chutes 210 of different widths can adapt to different specifications of vaccines. With such arrangement, different specifications of vaccines can be placed in the seedling receiving chutes 210 adapted thereto, avoiding the situation that the vaccines are turned over or slide unsmoothly in the seedling receiving chutes 210.

[0067] The plurality of vaccine storage chutes include different widths, which means that the plurality of vaccine storage chutes 110 have at least two and more than two widths. The vaccine storage chutes 110 of different widths can adapt to different specifications of vaccines. With such arrangement, different specifications of vaccines can be placed in the vaccine storage chutes 110 adapted thereto, avoiding the situation that the vaccines are turned over or slide unsmoothly in the vaccine storage chutes 110.

[0068] If the transfer module 300 is provided with multiple transfer chutes 301 of different widths, the transfer chutes 301 are too large in size and inconvenient to move. The transfer chute 301 is provided in a form with adjustable width. Specifically, the transfer chute 301 includes a base plate 311 and two relatively movable side plates. When transferring a wider vaccine, the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 move in opposite directions to increase the width of the transfer chute 301. When transferring a narrower vaccine, the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 move towards each other to decrease the width of the transfer chute 301.

[0069] With such a setting mode, the vaccine workstation can provide the vaccine of different specifications with the adapted vaccine receiving chute 210, the transfer chute 301 and the vaccine storage chute 110, and improve the reliability of the vaccine workstation in transferring and storing the vaccine.

[0070] The mechanical hopper 310 includes a base plate 311, a first side plate 312, a second side plate 314 and an unlocking mechanism, wherein the base plate 311 is arranged obliquely to form a sliding plane on the upper surface; the first side plate 312 is arranged on the sliding plane; the second side plate 314 is arranged on the sliding plane, and the second side plate 314 cooperates with the first side plate 312 and part of the sliding plane to define the transfer chute 301; the unlocking mechanism 320 is arranged at the vaccine inlet end of the transfer chute 301, and includes a hook 321, which, after moving upward with the base plate 311, holds the front end of the vaccine upward to make the vaccine disengage from the limiting part, and the upward contact plane of the hook 321 is smoothly connected with the sliding plane.

[0071] The mechanical hopper 310 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used to interface with the chute to transfer the vaccine. Exemplarily, the vaccine workstation includes the vaccine receiving chute 210, and the mechanical hopper 310 interfaces with the vaccine receiving chute to transfer the vaccine.

[0072] The mechanical hopper 310 includes the base plate 311, the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314, and the upper surface of the base plate 311 is arranged obliquely to form an oblique sliding plane. The first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 extend along the sliding direction to provide the left and right limiting parts for the vaccine during the sliding process.

[0073] The mechanical hopper 310 further includes an unlocking mechanism 320, which is used to make the vaccine disengage from the limiting part. Exemplarily, the end of the vaccine storage chute 110 is provided with a baffle, and the unlocking mechanism 320 is used to push the vaccine upward and beyond the baffle.

[0074] Specifically, the unlocking mechanism 320 includes the hook 321, which has an upward contact plane. The hook 321 extends outward beyond the vaccine inlet end of the transfer chute 301, and can extend into the vaccine storage chute 110 below when the vaccine receiving chute 210 and the vaccine storage chute 110 are connected at the vaccine inlet end and the vaccine outlet end.

[0075] For example, in the process of transferring a vaccine, the vaccine is placed in the receiving chute 210, and the front end is positioned by the baffle of the receiving chute 210. The mechanical bucket 310 moves towards the storage chute with the entry end lower than the exit end of the storage chute 110, and the hook 321 extends below the storage chute. The mechanical bucket 310 moves upwards, and the entry end of the transfer chute 301 is aligned with the exit end of the storage chute 110. During this process, the hook 321 moves upwards with the mechanical bucket 310, lifts the bottom of the vaccine, and makes the front end of the bottom of the vaccine exceed the baffle. The vaccine changes from being attached to the bottom of the receiving chute 210 to being attached to the plane of the hook 321. Since the baffle is no longer limited, the vaccine slides along the plane where the contact plane of the hook 321 is located under the action of gravity. Since the contact plane of the hook 321 is smoothly connected to the sliding plane of the transfer chute 301, the vaccine smoothly slides into the transfer chute 301 under the action of gravity.

[0076] The mechanical bucket 310 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is provided with an unlocking structure, so that the corresponding storage vaccine chute does not need to be provided with a structure for releasing the vaccine, and in the case of a large number of storage vaccine chutes, the equipment cost can be reduced. The vaccine is unlocked by the hook 321 lifting the vaccine upwards, which is simple in structure and stable in function. The contact plane of the hook 321 is smoothly connected to the sliding plane where the bottom plate of the receiving chute 210 is located, and the vaccine will not overturn due to the height difference during the unlocking process, thereby improving the reliability of transferring the vaccine.

[0077] Optionally, as one embodiment of the smooth connection between the contact plane and the sliding plane, the contact plane and the sliding plane are located on the same plane.

[0078] With such a setting form, the contact plane and the sliding plane have the same slope. This is conducive to setting the slope of the mechanical bucket 310 and fixing the hook 321.

[0079] Optionally, as another embodiment of the smooth connection between the contact plane and the sliding plane, the position where the contact plane and the sliding plane are connected is smoothly transitioned.

[0080] During the process of lifting the vaccine by the hook 321, the angle between the bottom of the vaccine and the horizontal plane decreases. The contact plane and the sliding plane are smoothly transitioned, and the sliding plane can be set to have a different slope from the contact plane, so that the vaccine can return to the same angle as in the storage chute after sliding into the transfer chute. With such a setting method, it is conducive to the connection between the transfer chute 301 and the subsequent storage chute 110 or other storage units.

[0081] Optionally, the unlocking mechanism 320 further comprises a roller, and the roller is arranged on the hook 321 and beyond the contact plane arranged on the hook 321.

[0082] During the process of lifting the vaccine upward by the hook 321, the angle between the bottom of the vaccine and the horizontal plane decreases, and the component of the gravity along the contact plane decreases. In addition, compared with the vaccine receiving chute 210, the contact area between the bottom of the vaccine and the contact plane also decreases. This may cause the vaccine to be difficult to overcome the static friction and slide to the transfer chute 301. The contact plane of the hook 321 is provided with a roller, so that the friction of the vaccine sliding downward is reduced. This can make the vaccine more easily slide from the vaccine storage chute 110 to the transfer chute 301.

[0083] Optionally, the roller is an idler.

[0084] An idler is a wheel that is not provided with a driving structure. The roller is an idler, which can reduce the cost increased due to the setting of the roller.

[0085] Optionally, the unlocking structure includes a driving motor, and the driving motor is used to drive the roller to rotate. Illustratively, the driving motor is connected to the roller through a gear, and the driving motor drives the roller to rotate when the driving motor rotates.

[0086] With such a setting form, the vaccine no longer slides downward completely by its own gravity. Even if some vaccines take special packaging and have relatively large friction, the mechanical bucket 310 can still smoothly transfer the vaccine from the vaccine receiving chute to the transfer chute 301.

[0087] Optionally, the roller is made of rubber or silicone.

[0088] Rubber or silicone material has relatively large friction, and is more likely to drive the vaccine to slide downward. In addition, the roller made of rubber or silicone material also plays a role in limiting the sliding speed of the vaccine. Illustratively, in some cases, the vaccine has relatively small friction and slides relatively fast. The roller can limit the sliding speed of the vaccine from the vaccine receiving chute 210 to the transfer chute 301, so that the vaccine can slide to the transfer chute 301 at a lower speed. With such a setting form, different specifications of vaccines can be given a certain initial sliding speed by the roller, so that the mechanical bucket 310 can smoothly transfer vaccines of different specifications.

[0089] Optionally, the unlocking mechanism 320 includes an unlocking driving device 322, and the unlocking driving device 322 is arranged on the base plate 311 and connected to the hook 321. The unlocking driving device 322 is used to drive the hook 321 to move along the sliding direction of the transfer chute 301.

[0090] When the vaccine is stored in the vaccine storage chute 210 and is lifted upward by the hook 321, the vaccine needs to change from a static state to a sliding state. The static friction is greater than the sliding friction, so the vaccine may be lifted by the hook 321 but not slide downward. The unlocking driving device 322 is arranged to move the vaccine a certain distance in the direction of the transfer chute 301 after the vaccine is lifted. After the vaccine has an initial speed, the vaccine is easy to overcome the static friction under the action of inertia, and thus smoothly slides into the transfer chute 301.

[0091] Optionally, the end of the transfer chute 301 is provided with a relief gap 211, and the hook 321 is accommodated in the relief gap 211 when the hook 321 moves inward.

[0092] When the vaccine is accommodated in the relief gap 211, the vaccine is mainly received by the transfer chute 301. The vaccine is easy to continue to slide along the transfer chute 301. The relief gap 211 of the transfer chute 301 can accommodate the hook 321 and avoid the front and rear movement of the hook 321. In addition, during the movement of the mechanical hopper 310, the hook 321 is accommodated in the relief gap 211, and the hook 321 is not easy to contact other parts of the vaccine workstation.

[0093] Optionally, the hook 321 has a plurality of tines, and the upper surface of the tines forms a contact plane.

[0094] When the vaccine is lifted by the hook 321, the downward side of the vaccine is in contact with the contact plane. The hook 321 includes a plurality of tines, which can make each position of the bottom of the vaccine in contact with the contact plane, thereby reducing or avoiding the situation that the vaccine falls from the hook 321.

[0095] Optionally, the end of the transfer chute 301 is provided with a plurality of relief gaps 211, and the plurality of relief gaps 211 correspond to the plurality of tines of the hook 321.

[0096] With such a setting form, after the plurality of tines of the hook 321 are accommodated in the plurality of relief gaps 211, the hook 321 can be spliced with the plurality of relief gaps 211 of the transfer chute 301 to form a relatively complete plane. The plurality of tines and the plurality of relief gaps 211 form a certain guiding effect for the downward sliding of the vaccine, which is conducive to the smooth sliding of the vaccine.

[0097] Optionally, the slope of the contact surface of the hook 321 is smaller than the slope of the sliding plane.

[0098] When the vaccine is lifted by the hook 321, the angle between the bottom of the vaccine and the horizontal plane decreases, and the contact surface of the hook 321 tends to be the same. The slope of the contact surface is smaller than the slope of the sliding plane, and the vaccine can return to the same or close to the slope as when it is located in the receiving chute 210 when it slides to the transfer chute 301. Since the vaccine slides downward by its own gravity in both the transfer chute 301 and the receiving chute 210, the slopes of the transfer chute 301 and the receiving chute 210 are close, which is beneficial to the smooth and controllable sliding of the vaccine.

[0099] Optionally, the mechanical hopper 310 further comprises a side plate driving device 323 arranged below the base plate 311 and connected to the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314. The side plate driving device 323 can drive the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 to move towards each other or in the opposite direction to adjust the width of the transfer chute 301.

[0100] Different specifications of vaccines have different widths, and vaccines of different widths are suitable for being stored in receiving chutes 210 or storing chutes 110 of corresponding widths to arrange the vaccines in the expected direction. In order to adapt the transfer chute 301 to vaccines of different widths, the width of the transfer chute 301 is adjustable.

[0101] Specifically, the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 of the transfer chute 301 are movable. When the side plate driving device 323 drives the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 to move towards each other, the width of the transfer chute 301 decreases. When the side plate driving device 323 drives the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 to move in the opposite direction, the width of the transfer chute 301 increases. With such a setting, the transfer hopper can adapt to vaccines of different specifications. Different specifications of vaccines are constrained in the width direction in the transfer chute 301, and the vaccines are not easy to overturn, so the vaccines can be smoothly slid in the expected direction.

[0102] Optionally, the side plate driving device 323 comprises a side plate driving motor 324, a rotating shaft 325, a first base 326 and a second base 327. The side plate driving motor 324 is arranged below the base plate 311. The rotating shaft 325 is rotatably arranged below the base plate 311 and is drivingly connected to the side plate driving motor 324. The first base 326 is penetrated by the rotating shaft 325, and the first side plate 312 is connected to the first base 326 through the base plate 311. The second base 327 is penetrated by the rotating shaft 325, and the second side plate 314 is connected to the second base 327 through the base plate 311. The first base 326 and the second base 327 are both threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 325. The thread direction of the rotating shaft 325 and the first base 326 is opposite to that of the rotating shaft 325 and the second base 327. When the rotating shaft 325 rotates, the first base 326 and the second base 327 move towards each other or in the opposite direction.

[0103] The axial direction of the rotating shaft 325 is along the width direction of the transfer chute 301. The two ends or the middle of the rotating shaft 325 are fixed to the lower side of the base plate 311 through bearings. The part of the rotating shaft 325 close to the first end has a first direction thread, and the part of the rotating shaft 325 close to the second end has a second direction thread. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first base has a first internal thread matched with the first thread, and the second base has a second internal thread matched with the second thread. The first side plate 312 is connected to the first base, and the second side plate 314 is connected to the second base. The side plate driving motor 324 is connected to the rotating shaft 325. When the driving motor rotates, the rotating shaft 325 rotates. When the rotating shaft 325 rotates, the first base and the second base move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 325. Since the first thread and the second thread are in opposite directions, the first base and the second base move in opposite directions along the width direction of the transfer chute 301. When the first base and the second base move in opposite directions, the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 move towards each other or move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the width of the transfer chute 301.

[0104] With such a setting, the center line of the transfer chute 301 is always in the same position during the adjustment of the width of the transfer chute 301, which is beneficial for the mechanical hopper 310 to position the transfer chute 301 so as to accurately dock with the seedling receiving chute 210 or the seedling storing chute 110. In addition, by moving the two side plates through one rotating shaft 325, the number of driving structures is less, which is beneficial for reducing the weight of the mechanical hopper 310 and reducing the cost of the mechanical hopper 310.

[0105] Optionally, the first side plate 312 is connected to the first base 326 through a first connecting piece 328, and the first connecting piece 328 includes a vertical connecting part and a transversely extending part connected to each other, the bottom end of the vertical connecting part extends to the first base 326, and the end of the transversely extending part is connected to the outer side wall of the first side plate 312. Mirror image, the second side plate 314 is connected to the second base 327 through a second connecting piece 329, and the second connecting piece 329 includes a vertical connecting part and a transversely extending part connected to each other, the bottom end of the vertical connecting part extends to the second base 327, and the end of the transversely extending part is connected to the outer side wall of the second side plate 314.

[0106] In this case, the first side plate 312 is located closer to the center line of the transfer chute 301 than the first base 326. In order to avoid the movement of the first connecting piece 328, an avoidance slot is opened in the base plate 311 above the first base. In this way, the avoidance slot is located away from the center line of the transfer chute. Even if the transfer chute 301 is adjusted to a relatively wide width, the avoidance slot is not easy to be located on the sliding route of the vaccine.

[0107] Adopting such a setting mode, the vaccine sliding blockage caused by the avoidance groove can be reduced or avoided.

[0108] Optionally, the mechanical hopper 310 further comprises a release mechanism 330 arranged at the emergence end of the transfer chute 301. The release mechanism 330 comprises a release cylinder 331 arranged below the base plate 311, and a release baffle 332 connected to the release cylinder 331. The release baffle 332 is in a stop state after being moved upward, and is in a release state after being moved downward.

[0109] The release mechanism 330 of the mechanical hopper 310 comprises the release cylinder 331 of the release baffle 332. The release cylinder 331 drives the unloading baffle to open and close. The release baffle 332 moves up and down relative to the transfer chute 301, and is not easy to interfere with other components of the vaccine workstation.

[0110] Optionally, the first side plate 312 is configured with a first hollow groove 313 at the emergence end of the transfer chute 301, and the second side plate 314 is configured with a second hollow groove 315 at the emergence end of the transfer chute 301. The mechanical hopper 310 further comprises a sensor comprising a receiving end 341 and a transmitting end 342. The transmitting end 342 is located outside the first hollow groove 313, and the receiving end 341 is located outside the second hollow groove 315. The transmitting end 342, the first hollow groove 313, the second hollow groove 315 and the receiving end 341 are located on the same straight line.

[0111] When there is vaccine at the emergence section of the transfer chute 301, the vaccine is located between the first hollow groove 313 and the second hollow groove 315. The signal emitted by the transmitting end 342 is blocked, and the receiving end 341 cannot receive the signal. When there is no vaccine at the emergence end of the transfer chute 301, the signal emitted by the transmitting end 342 is received by the receiving end 341. Adopting such a setting mode, whether the vaccine is in place in the transfer chute 301 can be accurately determined. The receiving end 341 and the transmitting end 342 are respectively located outside the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314, and will not affect the sliding of the vaccine.

[0112] Optionally, the receiving end 341 and the transmitting end 342 of the sensor are fixed to the base plate 311.

[0113] In this way, the transmitting end 342 and the receiving end 341 of the sensor will not interfere with the movement of the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314 along the width direction of the transfer chute 301, and will not cause signal dislocation due to the movement of the first side plate 312 and the second side plate 314.

[0114] Optionally, the seedling discharge end of the seedling receiving chute 210 is provided with a baffle, and the bottom of the seedling receiving chute 210 is provided with a clearance notch 211 that allows the vaccine to be lifted upward and exceed the baffle; the hook 321 of the mechanical bucket 310 lifts the vaccine upward through the notch 211 so that the vaccine slides into the transfer chute 301.

[0115] The vaccine receiving module 200 is used to temporarily store vaccines. The vaccine receiving module 200 includes a vaccine receiving chute 210. The vaccine dispensing end of the vaccine receiving chute 210 is provided with a baffle and a notch 211, and a hook 321 moves upward from the notch 211 to allow the vaccine to pass through the baffle.

[0116] The vaccine transfer method provided in this embodiment includes the mechanical bucket 310 described above, and since it has the same technical effects as the mechanical bucket 310 described above, it will not be described again here.

[0117] Optionally, the picker hook 321 includes multiple forks, and the bottom of the seedling receiving chute 210 has multiple notches 211 corresponding to the multiple forks.

[0118] With this setup, the vaccine is supported at various points on the bottom during the transfer from the receiving chute 210 to the pick hook 321, resulting in better stability and making it less likely to fall off the pick hook 321.

[0119] Optionally, the inward-facing side of the baffle is provided with a shock-absorbing element.

[0120] With this configuration, the shock absorber can absorb the impact energy when the vaccine slides to the dispensing end of the receiving module 200, reducing the noise of vaccine movement and mitigating or preventing the vaccine from being ejected from the transfer chute 301. Furthermore, due to the shock absorber, the baffle only needs to be set at a lower height to block the vaccine, which facilitates the mechanical bucket 310 picking the vaccine out of the receiving chute 210.

[0121] Optionally, the damping element includes a damping plate, which is connected to the inward side of the baffle by a compressible elastic material.

[0122] When the vaccine slides into the bottom of the inoculation chute 210, the impact kinetic energy is converted into the elastic potential energy of the elastic material. When the elastic material releases its elastic potential energy, the damping plate will only move slightly.

[0123] Optionally, the angle between the inward-facing side of the damping plate and the bottom plate of the seedling receiving chute 210 is less than 85°.

[0124] When the vaccine slides down, it first makes direct contact with the top of the shock-absorbing plate, and then the elastic material is compressed by the shock-absorbing plate. During this process, even if the shock-absorbing plate rotates slightly, it can still maintain good contact with the forward side of the vaccine. This design reduces or avoids the situation where the vaccine is thrown forward out of the vaccination chute 210 due to deformation of the shock-absorbing plate.

[0125] Optionally, the vaccine workstation further comprises a heating device 410, which is arranged along the circumference of the replenishment port 12.

[0126] When the replenishment port is opened, condensation may occur near the replenishment port and the vaccine inlet end of the receiving chute 210 due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the low-temperature storage space. The condensation may change the friction of the receiving chute 210 and affect the receiving of the vaccine by the receiving chute 210. In addition, the condensation may also wet the packaging box of the vaccine. In addition, the staff working near the replenishment port may also feel uncomfortable due to the low temperature. By arranging the heating device 410 near the replenishment port, the temperature near the replenishment port can be increased in a targeted manner. On the one hand, the working environment of the staff is improved, and on the other hand, the condensation near the replenishment port and the receiving module 200 is reduced, so that the vaccine can slide down the receiving chute 210 more smoothly and will not be wetted by the condensation.

[0127] Optionally, the vaccine workstation further comprises a control box 630, which is arranged outside the low-temperature storage area 11 and near the replenishment port.

[0128] The control box 630 is arranged near the replenishment port and outside the low-temperature storage area 11, so that the staff can intervene in time when the transfer module 300 malfunctions, press the emergency stop button, or take over the subsequent operation of the transfer module 300.

[0129] Optionally, the vaccine workstation further comprises a fluent shelf 420, which is arranged in the low-temperature storage area and avoids the receiving module 200, the transfer module 300, and the storage module 100. The fluent shelf 420 is suitable for storing whole boxes of vaccines.

[0130] Some vaccines are delivered in whole boxes, and the whole boxes of vaccines can be stored in the fluent shelf 420. The fluent shelf 420 is arranged in a position avoiding the receiving module 200, the transfer module 300, and the storage module 100, so that the fluent shelf 420 will not affect the transportation of the vaccines by the transfer module 300 when the vaccines are stored through the replenishment port.

[0131] As an optional implementation, the workstation body 10 is provided with a refrigeration door, and the staff can open the refrigeration door to manually supplement or remove the whole boxes of vaccines from the fluent shelf 420.

[0132] Optionally, the receiving module 200 further comprises a whole-box chute, and the vaccine outlet end of the transfer module 300 is further adapted to be connected to the vaccine inlet end of the fluent shelf 420.

[0133] With such an arrangement, the whole boxes of vaccines can also be supplemented into the fluent shelf 420 of the low-temperature storage space from the outside of the vaccine workstation, further facilitating the use of the user.

[0134] Optionally, the vaccine workstation further comprises a seedling emergence module 500, the seedling emergence module 500 is connected to the emergence end of the seedling storage chute 110, and the seedling emergence module 500 is used to transfer the vaccine stored in the seedling storage chute to the emergence port 13.

[0135] The seedling emergence module 500 comprises a seedling storage chute, the emergence end of the seedling storage chute is adapted to be connected to the emergence end of the seedling storage chute 110, and the emergence end of the seedling emergence module 500 is adapted to be connected to the emergence port 13.

[0136] With such a setting mode, the vaccine of the vaccine workstation can be automatically discharged through the seedling emergence module 500, which is convenient for users to use. The seedling emergence module 500 is arranged in the seedling storage chute, which improves the speed of the seedling emergence module 500 to transfer the vaccine. Compared with the mode of using a conveying belt, the use of space is reduced; compared with the mode of using a mechanical hand, the cost of the vaccine workstation is reduced.

[0137] Optionally, the vaccine workstation further comprises an operation table 600, a code scanning device 610 and a control device, wherein the operation table 600 is arranged outside the low-temperature storage area 11 corresponding to the seedling supplement port 12; the code scanning device 610 is arranged on the operation table 600; and the control device is configured to allocate the seedling receiving chute 210 and the seedling storage chute to the vaccine according to the information of the code scanning device 610.

[0138] The operation table is arranged, which facilitates the staff to count and sort the vaccine before discharging. The code scanning device 610 is arranged, which provides a hardware basis for the full automation of the vaccine workstation. Taking a use scenario as an example, after the vaccine is scanned at the operation table 600, the control device allocates the corresponding seedling receiving chute 210 and seedling storage chute 110 to the vaccine, and controls the transfer chute 301 to adjust to the appropriate width. The user puts the vaccine into the corresponding seedling receiving chute 210 according to the prompt of the control device. The vaccine slides to the emergence end of the seedling receiving chute 210 under the action of gravity. The control device sends an instruction to the transfer module 300, and the horizontal driving device and the vertical driving device act to make the transfer chute 301 connected to the seedling receiving chute 210. The unlocking structure of the transfer module 300 acts to make the vaccine in the seedling receiving chute 210 slide to the transfer chute 301. The vaccine slides to the emergence end in the transfer chute 301. The horizontal driving device and the vertical driving device act to make the emergence end of the transfer chute 301 connected to the emergence end of the seedling storage chute 110. The release mechanism 330 acts, and the vaccine slides into the seedling storage chute 110. It should be noted that the user can put the vaccine into the corresponding seedling receiving chute 210 after scanning, and does not need to wait for the transfer module 300 to complete the transfer action. After the transfer module 300 transfers one box of vaccine, the next box of vaccine is automatically transferred.

[0139] With such a setting mode, the user is further facilitated to use, and the automation degree of the vaccine workstation is improved, and the efficiency of storing the vaccine is improved.

[0140] Optionally, the plurality of vaccine receiving chutes 210 are each provided with an indicator light; the control device is further configured to control the indicator light of the vaccine receiving chute 210 corresponding to the vaccine to light up after the vaccine code is scanned.

[0141] After the staff scans the vaccine code, the control device allocates a vaccine receiving chute 210 for the vaccine, and controls the indicator light of the vaccine receiving chute 210 to light up. The staff can accurately and quickly identify the allocated vaccine receiving chute 210 according to the indication of the indicator light, thereby improving the efficiency of the staff in sorting the vaccines.
