For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] As attached Figures 1 to 6As shown, the utility model provides a one-to-one specimen conveying device, including a frame 1 and a hopper 2 arranged on the frame 1, a plate elevator 3, an industrial computer controller, a barcode scanning lens 4, a specimen rolling device 5, a specimen steering device 6 and a conveying pipeline 7, wherein the specimen rolling device 5 is arranged on one side of the plate elevator 3, and the plate elevator 3 is used to lift the specimen in the hopper 2 to the specimen rolling device 5, and the barcode scanning lens 4 is arranged above the specimen rolling device 5; the specimen steering device 6 includes a first motor 61, a first cylinder 62, a first clamp 63 and a second clamp 64, and the The first cylinder 62 is connected to the driving shaft of the first motor 61 through a connecting piece, the first clamp 63 is connected to the body of the first cylinder 62, the second clamp 64 is connected to the output shaft of the first cylinder 62, and the first clamp 63 and the second clamp 64 have grooves 65 on opposite sides. The specimen 100 is scanned by the scanning lens 4 on the specimen rolling device 5 to extract information, and then the state of the specimen is adjusted by the specimen steering device 6, and finally the specimen is transmitted to the target customer through the transmission pipe 7, which can achieve the purpose of automatic feeding, scanning and transmitting the specimen to the target inspection department.

[0023] Specifically, the plate elevator 3, industrial computer controller and barcode scanning lens 4 are all existing technologies, that is, the above three devices can be purchased on the market and directly assembled for use. The barcode scanning lens 4 is communicated with the industrial computer controller. The industrial computer controller is installed with a control program, that is, a program for controlling the plate elevator 3, the barcode scanning lens 4, the specimen rolling device 5, the specimen steering device 6 and the power source drive. These programs are also conventional existing control programs and will not be elaborated here.

[0024] The working sequence of the device is that the specimen (test tube) in the hopper 2 is first lifted to the rolling device by the plate elevator 3. In order to facilitate the barcode scanning lens 4 to smoothly scan the barcode or QR code on the specimen, the rolling device rotates the specimen. After the barcode scanning lens 4 successfully scans the barcode and uploads the information to the industrial computer controller, the specimen is transmitted to the specimen steering device 6. Specifically, the initial state of the specimen steering device 6 is that the output shaft of the first cylinder 62 drives the second clamping jaw 64 to the maximum stroke of the first cylinder 62, and the first clamping jaw 63 and the second clamping jaw The groove 65 on 64 is in a straight state, so that the specimen can flow smoothly into the groove 65 on the first clamp 63. The first cylinder 62 drives the second clamp 64 to move relative to the first clamp 63, so that the first clamp 63 and the second clamp 64 clamp the specimen. Finally, the first motor 61 drives the first cylinder 62 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the specimen is in a vertical state. Finally, through the suction force in the transmission pipe 7, when the second clamp 64 is released, the specimen is sucked into the transmission pipe 7 until the specimen is driven to the target department; in this way, a specimen scanning and transmission is completed.

[0025] Preferably, it further comprises a second cylinder 66 connected to the frame 1 , and the second cylinder 66 is arranged below the specimen turning device 6 .

[0026] Since the specimen turning device 6 needs to rotate to adjust the position of the specimen, and the specimen is clamped by the first clamping jaw 63 and the second clamping jaw 64, it is impossible for the conveying pipe 7 to be seamlessly connected with the grooves 65 on the first clamping jaw 63 and the second clamping jaw 64. When the driving device is driven, the gap between the conveying pipe 7 and the first clamping jaw 63 and the second clamping jaw 64 will leak air, which will increase the load of the driving device and sometimes fail to smoothly convey the specimen to the target department. For this reason, an auxiliary device is provided, namely, the embodiment of the present invention The second cylinder 66 in the example; its working process is: first, the output shaft of the second cylinder 66 is lowered to the lowest position. When the specimen is clamped in a vertical state by the first clamp 63 and the second clamp 64, the specimen is supported by the output shaft of the second cylinder 66 below. The first cylinder 62 works to make the second clamp 64 move away from the first clamp 63, and the specimen will not fall out of the groove 65. Then, the specimen is pushed into the conveying pipe 7 by the output shaft of the second cylinder 66. In this way, the specimen can be smoothly conveyed to the target department using the driving device.

[0027] Preferably, the specimen rolling device 5 includes a second motor 51, a gantry 52, a rolling bracket 53, an active roller 54, a driven roller 55 and a third cylinder 56, the gantry 52 is connected to the frame 1, the second motor 51 is connected to the gantry 52, the active roller 54 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 51, the driven roller 55 is connected to the rolling bracket 53, and the driven roller 55 is arranged parallel to the active roller 54, the third cylinder 56 is connected to the frame 1, and the output shaft of the third cylinder 56 is connected to the rolling bracket 53.

[0028] It is understandable that when the specimen is lifted to the scanning position by the plate lift 3, the barcode scanning lens 4 may not be able to smoothly scan the barcode or QR code on the specimen. Therefore, the specimen rolling device 5 is needed to roll the specimen so that the barcode scanning lens 4 can smoothly scan the barcode on the specimen. The principle is that in the initial state, the distance between the active roller 54 and the driven roller 55 is smaller than the diameter of the specimen, and the specimen is supported between the active roller 54 and the driven roller 55. The second motor 51 drives the active roller 54 to rotate, thereby driving the specimen to rotate. After the barcode scanning lens 4 successfully scans the code, the rolling bracket 53 is driven by the third cylinder 56 to drive the driven roller 55 away from the active roller 54. The specimen falls from between the active roller 54 and the driven roller 55, and is guided by the guide plate to roll the specimen into the groove 65 on the first clamp 63.

[0029] Preferably, the specimen rolling device 5 also includes a first group of reference optical fibers 57, which are arranged on the two side plates of the gantry 52; the reference optical fibers 57 are used to sense whether there is a specimen between the active roller 54 and the driven roller 55. If so, the plate elevator 3 will stop working; if not, the plate elevator 3 will work to lift a specimen between the active roller 54 and the driven roller 55 to prevent two or more specimens from being placed at the rolling device, which would cause confusion in the lens scanning.

[0030] Preferably, the transmission pipeline 7 includes an equipment section 71 and a building section 72, and a partition plate driven by a fourth cylinder 73 is provided between the equipment section 71 and the building section 72; wherein the equipment section 71 is a pipeline at one end provided on the equipment, and the building section 72 is a pipeline arranged between buildings and extending from the equipment to the target department; when it is necessary to block the transmission pipeline 7, the partition plate is driven by the fourth cylinder 73 to extend between the equipment section 71 and the building section 72, otherwise, the partition plate is driven by the fourth cylinder 73 to withdraw from between the equipment section 71 and the building section 72.

[0031] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the utility model, and all these changes or substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the claims attached to the utility model.
