Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical testing equipment, in particular to an automatic sample delivery machine for hospitals. Background Art

[0002] The sample flow is the most important part of the laboratory's work, and no mistakes are allowed. At present, the hospital's HIS system can monitor the blood sample collection process, and the LIS system can also monitor the inspection process of samples that have been delivered to the laboratory in real time, but neither can monitor the delivery and receipt process. In actual work, it is often the case that the sample handover records are incomplete, and the delivery and receipt process cannot be traced, and sometimes even causes sample loss. In response to this situation, a fully automatic sample delivery machine has been developed to reduce human errors in the sample delivery and acceptance process, thereby avoiding the loss of samples. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above description, the utility model provides an automatic sample delivery machine for hospitals to solve the problem of easy errors in manual sample delivery and receiving in the prior art.

[0038] like Figure 1-4The shown is an automatic inspection machine for hospital samples 20, including a sample 20 entrance 2 and an exit, the sample 20 entrance 2 is connected to a first connecting belt 1, the first connecting belt 1 is a ramp inclined downward, and a lifting device is provided at the low end of the first connecting belt 1, the sample 20 enters from the sample 20 entrance 2, and rolls downward from the first connecting belt 1 until it is blocked by the lifting device, the lifting device is used to separate the samples 20 at the connection point in a single manner, and send them to subsequent operating devices in sequence for code scanning and verification, the lifting device loses the restraint and fixation on the sample 20 after lifting the sample 20 to a certain height, and a second connecting belt 7 is provided here for docking, the second connecting belt 7 is a ramp inclined downward, and is provided on the side of the lifting device away from the first connecting belt 1, for receiving the sample 20 falling from the lifting device, and the sample 20 rolls downward after entering the second connecting belt 7. A sample inspection device is provided at the lower part of the second connecting belt 7 to scan the data of the bottle body of the sample 20 to determine whether the sample 20 meets the standard, and then distinguish the samples 20 that meet the standard from those that do not meet the standard. The sample inspection device is provided at the lower end of the second connecting belt 7, and a first processing port and a second processing port 8 are provided thereon, which are used to receive the samples 20 that meet the standard and the samples 20 that do not meet the standard, respectively. After scanning, the sample 20 that meets the standard is confirmed to enter the connected third connecting belt 9 through the first processing port. The third connecting belt 9 is a ramp inclined downward. A packaging printing device 10 is connected to the lower end of the third connecting belt 9. The packaging printing device 10 packages the sample 20, heat-seals the bag, and prints the packaging bag. It can perform one or more or all of the operations, and then the sample 20 is discharged from the sample 20 outlet 11 on the packaging printing device 10 for unified collection.

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this is the first embodiment of this solution:

[0040] The lifting device includes a longitudinally arranged lifting conveyor belt 3, on which pallets 4 are equidistantly arranged. The pallets 4 form a certain angle with the surface of the lifting conveyor belt 3, and the pallets 4 maintain a certain length, so that when the pallet 4 is lifted upward from the bottom (running in a counterclockwise direction in the figure), the sample 20 can be hung and lifted. The pallets 4 of a certain width and angle can ensure that each pallet 4 can only lift one sample 20, and the excess samples 20 will roll down and accumulate until they are lifted by the subsequent pallets 4.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, this is the second embodiment of this scheme:

[0042] The lifting device includes a baffle 6 and a lifting plate 5. The lifting plate 5 moves up and down against the baffle 6, and the top surface of the lifting plate 5 forms an acute angle with the baffle 6. The baffle 6 is arranged at the bottom or side of the second connecting belt 7 to ensure that the sample 20 can fall on the second connecting belt 7. There is a driving member at the bottom of the lifting plate 5 to make it move up and down. When the lifting plate 5 falls to the lowest point, the stacked samples 20 slide onto the lifting plate 5. When the lifting plate 5 is lifted, it is limited by the angle between the lifting plate 5 and the baffle 6 and the width of the lifting plate 5. Only one sample 20 can be lifted, and the excess samples 20 will slide into the sample 20 pile to wait for subsequent lifting operations. The farther the lifting plate 5 is lifted, the deeper the depth of the equipment such as the driving member is. In order to reduce the space occupied, multiple groups of lifting plates 5 can be set to lift in a relay manner. Preferably, at least two groups of lifting plates 5 are provided, and multiple groups of lifting plates 5 relay to lift the sample 20.

[0043] Specifically, the sample inspection device includes a base plate 12, a scanning component 13 is arranged on the top of the base plate 12, and the two sides of the base plate 12 are hingedly connected so that the base plate 12 can rotate, and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the direction in which the sample 20 slides down on the second connecting belt 7. A first cylinder 14 is arranged at the bottom of one end of the base plate 12, and the first cylinder 14 can push the base plate 12 to flip so that it forms a first processing port docking with the third connecting belt 9. A second processing port 8 is arranged on the side of the base plate 12, and a second cylinder 15 is arranged on the other side of the base plate 12. The second cylinder 15 can push the substandard sample 20 into the second processing port 8. When the sample 20 rolls down the second connecting belt 7 to the bottom plate 12 and stops, the scanning component 13 above scans the information on the bottle body of the sample 20. If the information meets the standard, the first cylinder 14 is started to push the bottom plate 12 to flip, and the sample 20 on the bottom plate 12 slides from the opened first processing port to the third connecting belt 9 below, and then the second cylinder 15 is retracted. Under the supporting action of the second cylinder 15, the bottom plate 12 returns to the horizontal position. If the information of the sample 20 does not meet the standard, the second cylinder 15 is started, and the second cylinder 15 extends to push the sample 20 into the second processing port 8, and the sample 20 slides from the second processing port 8 to the waste box.

[0044] Preferably, a positioning area 16 for clamping the sample 20 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 12. The positioning area 16 may be a structure with grooves, so that the sample 20 can be embedded therein to be fixed. Since the labeling information on the surface of the sample 20 may be at the bottom after the sample 20 stops, the scanning component 13 above cannot scan it completely. In this solution, a through notch is opened on the positioning area 16, and a roller 17 is arranged in the notch. The roller 17 is driven by the corresponding driving component to continuously rotate. The notch just corresponds to some specific areas on the sample 20, such as the end of the bottle with threads or other protrusions. The rotating roller 17 drives the sample 20 to rotate and displays the information on the bottle upward. Preferably, two groups of notches are provided, and the two groups of notches are respectively located at the two ends of the positioning area 16. The two groups of rollers 17 rotate coaxially, and the sample 20 can be effectively rotated regardless of whether it falls forward or backward. A buffer belt 18 is provided on the other side of the bottom plate 12 away from the second connecting belt 7, and a stopper 19 is provided at the end of the buffer belt 18. After the sample 20 slides off the second connecting belt 7, the buffer belt 18 and the positioning area 16 can quickly stop the sample 20. Only when the bottom plate 12 is free, the lifting device will start to deliver the next sample 20 to the bottom plate 12.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the third embodiment of this scheme:

[0046] The second connecting belt is a horizontally arranged conveyor belt structure, which is placed at the landing point of the lifting conveyor belt to transfer samples. Side plates are placed on both sides of the conveyor belt to prevent the sample from sliding off the side. The end of the conveyor belt is connected to the bottom plate. The end of the bottom plate is provided with a second driving member to make it swing left and right with the conveyor belt forward direction as the axis. After the sample enters the bottom plate, the left and right swings will cause the sample to slide left and right respectively. The left and right sides correspond to two processing directions: the first processing port and the second processing port. The sample cannot enter the bottom plate completely by relying solely on the transmission of the conveyor belt. Therefore, a groove is opened on the bottom plate, and a rotating member is arranged in the groove. The rotating member is provided with a thread structure. The side of the bottom plate is provided with a first driving member that drives the rotating member to rotate. The second connecting belt relies on inertia to push the sample part into the bottom plate at its end. The rotating member that rotates can slowly pull the sample that extends into the bottom plate to the bottom plate by relying on the thread structure. A scanning component is arranged on the bottom plate. The friction of the thread can not only move the sample to the bottom plate, but also cause the sample to rotate. The process of rotation can display the label information on the sample upward for the scanning component to read. The first driving member is fixed on the bottom plate, and the second driving member is fixed on other positions, that is, the first driving member and the bottom plate form a moving whole, and the second driving member drives the bottom plate and the first driving member to swing at the same time.

[0047] In the attached drawings, whether it is the first connecting belt 1, the second connecting belt 7, the third connecting belt 9, or the bottom plate 12, the buffer belt 18, as long as the components are on the assembly line, they will be provided with blocking structures on both sides to prevent the sample 20 from falling, which is well known to those skilled in the art, so it is not fully shown in the drawings. The first connecting belt 1, the second connecting belt 7, and the third connecting belt 9 can be replaced with a transmission belt structure as long as they can play the role of transmitting the sample 20. The packaging printing device 10 is a relatively mature prior art and will not be expanded here.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
