[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the "first, second..." used in this article is merely used to distinguish names and does not represent a specific quantity or order.
[0034] Unless specifically stated or defined otherwise, the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, “fixed to” or “connected to” may mean directly fixing or connecting to an element, or indirectly fixing or connecting to an element.
[0036] It should be noted that the tube placement and transfer device C10 is mainly used for the placement and transfer operations of batch tubes C20. Specifically, the tube placement and transfer device C10 can be used for the placement of centrifuge tubes and their transfer to the next workstation. Of course, in other embodiments, the tube placement and transfer device C10 can also be used for the placement of other types of tubes C20 and their transfer to the next workstation, without any special restrictions.
[0037] The present utility model embodiment provides a pipe placement and transfer device C10, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the pipe placement and transfer device C10 includes a mounting frame C1 and a clamping assembly C2.
[0038] The mounting rack C1 is provided with a plurality of placement positions C11, and the placement positions C11 are used to place the tubes C20; wherein, the plurality of placement positions C11 can simultaneously place a plurality of tubes C20, such as a plurality of centrifuge tubes, on the mounting rack C1, and by directly transferring the mounting rack C1 with the plurality of tubes C20 placed thereon, a batch of tubes C20 can be simultaneously transferred to the next station, such as to a centrifuge or a polarization mechanism for batch centrifugation or polarization.
[0039] The clamping assembly C2 includes a first clamping member C21 and a second clamping member C22, and the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are arranged on both sides of the mounting frame C1 corresponding to the placement position C11. By arranging the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 on the mounting frame C1, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 cooperate to facilitate the external mechanical clamping arm to perform clamping transfer, wherein the shape and position of the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are adapted to the shape of the mechanical clamping arm, and are not particularly limited here, and the two clamping members are arranged on both sides of the placement position C11 to make the mounting frame C1 as a whole receive uniform clamping force, so that the mounting frame C1 with multiple pipes C20 placed thereon can be conveniently and smoothly transferred from the previous station to the next station.
[0040] In summary, the pipe placing and transferring device C10 is capable of placing batches of pipes C20 on the mounting frame C1 by providing a plurality of placement positions C11 on the mounting frame C1, and by providing the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 on the mounting frame C1, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 cooperate to facilitate clamping and transfer by an external mechanical clamping arm, thereby realizing automated transfer operations, and the two clamping members are provided on opposite sides of the placement position C11 to enable the mounting frame C1 to be uniformly clamped as a whole, thereby enabling the batch of pipes C20 to be transferred conveniently and smoothly, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame C1 is provided with a plurality of spaced placement positions C11 along its length direction, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are arranged on both sides of the mounting frame C1 corresponding to the placement positions C11 in the width direction, and the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are both located in the space between two adjacent placement positions C11. Each placement position C11 is arranged along the length direction of the mounting frame C1, that is, the mounting frame C1 is approximately in a straight line structure, specifically in an approximately rectangular parallelepiped structure, and each placement position C11 is equidistant and spaced, which has the characteristics of compact structure and space saving. Due to the I-shaped structure of the mounting frame C1, the width of the mounting frame C1 can be narrower, so that the occupied space is smaller, and the space utilization rate is improved. In order to allow the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 to have enough space to be placed without occupying excess space, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are arranged on both sides of the mounting frame C1 in the width direction corresponding to the placement position C11, and the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are both located in the interval space between two adjacent placement positions C11. The interval space between the placement positions C11 in the length direction of the mounting frame C1 can be well utilized, so that the two clamping members are fixed on the mounting frame C1, and the space occupied by the two clamping members in the width direction of the mounting frame C1 is reduced, thereby further improving the compactness of the structure and improving the space utilization rate.
[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are centrally symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the mounting frame C1 as the center. Specifically, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are centrally symmetrically arranged with the central axis z of the mounting frame C1 as the center, so as to facilitate the clamping operation of the conventional mechanical clamping arm. Specifically in this embodiment, the cross-sections of the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are both approximately trapezoidal structures, and the width of the opposite side of the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 is smaller than the width of the opposite side, which is convenient for clamping and can avoid interference with the placement of the pipe C20.
[0043] In some embodiments, the extension directions of the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 intersect and are not parallel to the length direction of the mounting frame C1, that is, the extension directions of the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are inclined relative to the length direction of the mounting frame C1, so that when multiple mounting frames C1 are placed side by side, it is convenient for the mechanical clamping arm to tilt and clamp, and effectively prevent the mechanical clamping arm from hitting the mounting frame C1 next to it.
[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping member C21 and the second clamping member C22 are both provided with a guide boss C23 on the opposite side thereof, and the guide boss C23 has four side surfaces C231, and the four side surfaces C231 are all inclined surface structures. Among them, by forming the four side surfaces C231 of the guide boss C23 into an inclined surface structure, the guide boss C23 forms an approximately trapezoidal structure, and specifically, the area of one end of the guide boss C23 away from the corresponding first clamping member C21 or second clamping member C22 is smaller than the area of one end close to the first clamping member C21 or second clamping member C22. When a mechanical clamping arm is used for clamping, even if there is a position error in the mounting frame C1, it can be automatically centered and aligned under the inclined surface guidance of the guide boss C23, so that the mechanical clamping arm can clamp accurately.

Wherein, through the arrangement of the fixing seat C24, the two clamping members can be fixed on the mounting frame C1, and by providing the connecting hole C241 on the fixing seat C24, the fixing seat C24 is prevented from interfering with the placement of the pipe C20. Specifically in this embodiment, the connecting hole C241 of the fixing seat C24 is arranged corresponding to one of the placement positions C11 and are connected to each other, and the two clamping members are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixing seat C24 corresponding to the connecting hole C241.
[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the fixing seat C24 is formed with groove bodies C242 corresponding to the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the pipe C20 on both sides of the length direction of the mounting frame C1. The groove bodies C242 are used to avoid the pipe C20 to prevent the edge of the fixing seat C24 from interfering with the placement operation of the pipe C20 in the placement position C11.

Therefore, the fixed seat C24 can be quickly positioned on the mounting frame C1 through the positioning cooperation of the first positioning member C243 and the second positioning member C12 to avoid the position deviation of the two affecting the clamping and transfer operation of the pipe C20, and then the fixed seat C24 is locked on the mounting frame C1 through the connection cooperation of the first connecting member C244 and the second connecting member C13, so that the two are relatively fixed.
[0048] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first connecting member C244 is a first threaded hole opened at the bottom of the fixing seat C24, and the second connecting member C13 is a second threaded hole opened on the mounting frame C1.
