[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0029] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. One embodiment of this application provides a conveying mechanism including a conveying component 10 and a limiting component 20. The conveying component 10 includes a conveying frame 11 and a conveying member 12. The conveying member 12 is used to carry a container and extends along a first direction X. The conveying member 12 is movably disposed on the conveying frame 11 along the first direction X. The limiting component 20 includes a limiting member, which is movably disposed on the conveying frame 11 and has an initial state and a limiting state. When the limiting member is in the initial state, the limiting member avoids the container, and the conveying member 12 drives the container through a preset position. When the limiting member is in the limiting state, the limiting member and the container are limited and engaged at the preset position, and the limiting member and the container are relatively stationary.

[0034] Applying the technical solution of this application, a container is placed on the conveyor 12 of the conveying assembly 10. The conveyor 12 carries the container, and by moving the conveyor 12 along the first direction X, the conveyor 12 can drive the container to move along the first direction X. The container enters the conveying assembly 10 from one end, is carried by the conveyor 12, and moves along the first direction X towards the other end of the conveying assembly 10. When the limiting member is in the initial state of avoiding the container, the conveyor 12 carries the container to the other end of the conveying assembly 10. When the limiting member switches from the initial state to the limiting state, the conveyor 12 carries the container to the interaction position with the limiting member. The limiting member can cooperate with the container to limit its movement, so that the container can remain relatively stationary with the limiting member, thereby limiting the container to a specific position, facilitating precise interaction between the container and other components within the detection equipment.

[0035] In some embodiments, the limiting member can move along the second direction Y and switch between an initial state and a limiting state. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the limiting member can oscillate about an axis and switch between an initial state and a limiting state. The key is to limit the container and keep it relatively stationary.

[0036] The conveyor 12 can reciprocate along the first direction X to move the container. In other embodiments, the conveyor 12 can move only along the first direction X, as long as it can move the container. Furthermore, the conveyor 12 can move in the forward or reverse direction X, depending on the actual application scenario.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, the container can be a well plate, including PCR plates conforming to SBS standards such as 384-well plates and 96-well plates.

[0038] It should be noted that the number of limiting members is not limited. In some embodiments, there may be only one limiting member, which cooperates with the container to limit its position. In this case, the container may have a groove structure that cooperates with the limiting member. In some embodiments, the limiting member may also be designed as a clamping member that cooperates with both sides of the container for limiting.

[0039] In addition to the limit component 20, other types of auxiliary structures, including mechanical structures for clamping, pressing, lifting and other purposes, can also be installed on the conveyor frame 11.

[0040] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the conveying component of the conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 This illustration shows yet another structural schematic diagram of the conveying component of the conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application. (In conjunction with...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the limiting member includes a first clamping member 21 and a second clamping member 22, which are spaced apart along a first direction X. Both the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can switch between an initial state and a limiting state. When the limiting member switches from the initial state to the limiting state, the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can respectively engage with the opposite sides of the container for limiting. Using the above design, by engaging the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 with the sides of the container for limiting, the container is thus limited to a specific position, offering advantages such as simple structure and reliable limiting structure.

[0041] The first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can switch between the initial state and the limited state using the same movement. In some embodiments, both the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can move by oscillating about an axis. In some embodiments, one of the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can move by oscillating about an axis, while the other moves by moving along a second direction Y. This is sufficient as long as the container can be limited.

[0042] Combination Figure 1As shown, the conveying mechanism also includes a first detection element 30, which is disposed on the conveying frame 11 and used to detect the position of the container. The first detection element 30 is located between the first clamping element 21 and the second clamping element 22. The first clamping element 21 and the second clamping element 22 can switch from an initial state to a limit state based on the detection information from the first detection element 30. By detecting the position of the container through the first detection element 30, and then controlling the first clamping element 21 and the second clamping element 22 to switch from the initial state to the limit state after the container moves to the appropriate position, the container can be limited.

[0043] In another embodiment, the container is carried on the conveyor 12 and moves along the first direction X. The first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are arranged alternately along the container's moving direction. The first clamping member 21 is in an initial state, and the second clamping member 22 is in a limiting state. When the conveyor 12 carrying the container moves to the interaction position with the second clamping member 22, the second clamping member 22 engages with the container to limit its movement. At the same time, the first detection member 30 detects that the container has reached a preset position, and the first clamping member 21 switches from the initial state to the limiting state, working together with the second clamping member 22 to limit the container.

[0044] To automate the testing equipment, a controller can be set up. When the first detection element 30 detects the container, it can transmit the container's position information to the controller. The controller can then issue a control signal based on the container's position information, causing the first clamping element 21 and the second clamping element 22 to move.

[0045] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the limiting component of the conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 20 also includes a mounting plate 23, which is disposed on the conveyor frame 11. The first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are both swayably disposed on the mounting plate 23. By adopting the above design, by disposing the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 on the mounting plate 23, it is beneficial to improve the integration of the limiting component 20, thereby facilitating the integration of the limiting component 20 and the conveyor component 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first detection element 30 includes a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter being disposed on the mounting plate 23 and the receiver being disposed on the side of the conveyor 11 away from the mounting plate 23.

[0047] Combination Figure 4As shown, the limiting assembly 20 also includes a first driving member 24, which is disposed on the mounting plate 23. The first driving member 24 is drivenly connected to the first clamping member 21, so that the first clamping member 21 swings about an axis extending in the second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. Using the first driving member 24 to drive the first clamping member 21 to swing results in a simple structure and easy control.

[0048] The limiting assembly 20 also includes a second driving member 25, which is disposed on the mounting plate 23. The second driving member 25 is drivenly connected to the second clamping member 22, so that the second clamping member 22 swings about an axis extending in the second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. Using the second driving member 25 to drive the second clamping member 22 to swing results in a simple structure and easy control.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first drive unit 24 includes an encoder motor, and the second drive unit 25 includes an encoder motor. The encoder motor enables semi-closed-loop control, and the microstepping control of the encoder motor enables precise clamping and positioning of the clamping component.

[0050] In other embodiments, other power mechanisms such as push-pull cylinders, rotary cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electromagnets, or servo motors can be used as driving components to drive the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 to swing. However, using a cylinder requires a compressed air source, and using a hydraulic cylinder requires a hydraulic oil source. Using an encoder motor, on the other hand, does not require an additional power source; only electrical energy needs to be converted into the motor's mechanical energy.

[0051] Furthermore, the encoder motor can automatically control the motor's rotation angle, speed, and movement time, thereby automatically controlling the movement time and state of the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22. Simultaneously, the torque feedback during motor shaft rotation can be used to adjust the clamping force to prevent container deformation. The motor rotation can be considered uniform motion, preventing overshoot.

[0052] In some embodiments, both the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are clamping arms, and the style of the clamping arms can be selected to adapt to containers of different types and materials.

[0053] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the conveying mechanism also includes a first sensor 40, which can detect the position information of the first clamping member 21, so that the first clamping member 21 returns to and remains in its initial state. The conveying mechanism also includes a second sensor 50, which can detect the position information of the second clamping member 22, so that the second clamping member 22 returns to and remains in its initial state. With the above design, when the conveyor 12 moves the container, the first sensor 40 can detect the position information of the first clamping member 21, and the second sensor 50 can detect the position information of the second clamping member 22, so that the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 remain in their initial states, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the container.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism also includes an abutment 60, which is disposed on the conveyor frame 11. The abutment 60 and the first clamping member 21 are located on opposite sides of the conveyor frame 11. Both the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are provided with abutment ramps. The abutment ramps of the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 can abut against the container, so that the abutment 60 abuts against the container. With the above design, during the process of clamping the container by the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22, the abutment ramps of the two clamping members can generate a pushing force on the container, thereby causing the container to move towards the abutment 60. Thus, the abutment 60, the first clamping member 21, and the second clamping member 22 work together to fix the container, making the container more secure.

[0055] Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing the docking of two conveying components of the conveying mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 5 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes multiple conveying components 10, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction X. A docking structure 16 is provided between adjacent conveying components 10, allowing them to connect. By docking two conveying components 10, container logistics can be transported over long distances, expanding the application scenarios of the conveying mechanism.

[0056] It should be noted that the conveying component 12 of each conveying assembly 10 can be autonomously controlled in terms of movement direction, and has strong compatibility when conveying PCR plates / containers that meet SBS standards, such as 384-well plates and 96-well plates, to meet the application of multi-station operation. Through program control, it can effectively support both sequential and reverse operation of multi-stations in the detection process.

[0057] When multiple conveying components 10 are used in combination, a certain degree of height deviation is allowed between the conveying components 10 in the second direction Y, which does not affect the transfer of containers between different conveying components 10.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the docking structure 16 includes a docking post 161 and a docking hole 162 that fit together, and the docking post 161 and the docking hole 162 are respectively disposed on two adjacent conveying assemblies 10. The docking structure 16 described above is simple in structure and easy to operate.

[0059] Each conveying component 10 is provided with a docking post 161 and a docking hole 162 at both ends, so that any conveying component 10 can be successfully docked during the docking process.

[0060] In other embodiments, other forms of docking structure 16 may also be used. For example, a magnetically engaged docking structure 16.

[0061] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 10 also includes a fixing seat 17. The conveying frame 11 has fixing seats 17 at both ends along the first direction X. The docking post 161 and the docking hole 162 are respectively located on the fixing seats 17 at both ends of the conveying frame 11. By adjusting the relative positions of the fixing seats 17 and the conveying frame 11, the relative positions of the docking structure 16 and the conveying frame 11 can be adjusted, thereby improving the success rate of alignment between the two conveying assemblies 10 and increasing alignment efficiency.

[0062] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly 10 also includes a driving wheel 111 and a driven wheel 112, which are spaced apart along a first direction X on the conveying frame 11. The conveying component 12 includes a conveyor belt, which is rotatably fitted onto the driving wheel 111 and the driven wheel 112. With the above design, the driving wheel 111 and the driven wheel 112 drive the conveyor belt to rotate, resulting in a simple structure and high reliability.

[0063] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 10 further includes a motor and a drive shaft 19 connected to the output shaft of the motor. The drive wheel 111 is sleeved on the drive shaft 19 to achieve rotation. In addition, a tension wheel 113 is provided on the rotation path of the conveyor belt to provide tension to the conveyor belt and prevent the conveyor belt from falling off the drive wheel 111 and the driven wheel 112.

[0064] The conveyor belt can be a flat belt, a V-belt, or other types of belt.

[0065] Combination Figure 2As shown, the conveying assembly 10 also includes a support member 15, which is disposed on the conveyor frame 11. The support member 15 can cooperate with the conveyor belt to provide support for the container. By using the support member 15 to provide support for the conveyor belt, the support force can be provided to the container. This can be applied to scenarios where the container has a large weight, making the container more stable on the conveyor belt when moving.

[0066] In some embodiments, the conveyor frame 11 is provided with two conveyor belts spaced apart along the third direction Z, and each conveyor belt is supported by a support member 15.

[0067] Furthermore, both ends of the drive shaft 19 are fitted with drive wheels 111, each drive wheel 111 corresponding to a conveyor belt. At the other end of the conveyor frame 11, two driven wheels 112 are respectively mounted on the conveyor frame 11, and there is no transmission structure between the two driven wheels 112. The space between the two driven wheels 112 can interact with pallet-type mechanical transfer devices.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly 10 also includes guide members 18, which are disposed on the conveying frame 11. Guide members 18 are provided on both sides of the conveying assembly 12 along the third direction Z, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. Guide ramps are provided at both ends of the guide members 18 along the first direction X. With this design, the guide ramps can guide the container, reducing the offset of the container on different conveying assemblies 10 during transport, allowing the container to be held in an appropriate position on the conveyor belt and move along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt.

[0069] Another embodiment of this application provides a testing device, which includes a frame and a conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism is disposed on the frame and includes the conveying mechanism provided above. Using the above-described testing device, a container is carried by a conveyor 12. By moving the conveyor 12 along a first direction X, the conveyor 12 can drive the container to move along the first direction X. At this time, the limiting member is in an initial state of avoiding the container. When the limiting member switches from the initial state to the limiting state, the limiting member can cooperate with the container to limit its movement, allowing the container to remain relatively stationary with respect to the limiting member, thereby limiting the container to a specific position, facilitating precise interaction between other components within the testing device and the container.

[0070] In the testing equipment, the installation direction of each conveying component 10 is not limited to horizontal installation; it can also be installed on the side of the frame.

[0071] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
