[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 4The test tube feeding device of the utility model comprises a feeding mechanism 100 and a stirring mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism 100 comprises a silo 110 and a conveying assembly 120. The silo 110 is used to store the test tubes. The silo 110 is provided with a feeding port 111. The conveying assembly 120 comprises a driving member 130, a fixed plate 121 and a movable plate 122. The fixed plate 121 is arranged adjacent to the feeding port 111. The movable plate 122 is movably arranged at the feeding port 111. The end of the movable plate 122 can receive the test tube. The driving member 130 is used to drive the movable plate 122. The loading port 111 moves up and down to drive the test tube to roll on the wall of the fixed plate 121; the stirring mechanism 200 includes a first push plate 210 and a second push plate 220, the first push plate 210 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 122, the second push plate 220 is fixedly connected to the side of the first push plate 210 away from the movable plate 122, the angle between the second push plate 220 and the movable plate 122 is greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees, an opening 112 is provided at the bottom of the silo 110, the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 are both penetrated through the opening 112 to stir the test tube.

[0034] A loading port 111 is provided at the bottom of the silo 110, a fixed plate 121 and the loading port 111 are adjacently arranged, a movable plate 122 is movably arranged in the loading port 111, and the end of the movable plate 122 can carry a test tube, and the test tube is placed in the silo 110, and the movable plate 122 is driven to move up and down on the fixed plate 121 by the driving member 130 to drive the test tube to roll on the wall of the fixed plate 121, thereby driving the test tube to rise, so that the test tube can be output from the upper end of the fixed plate 121, and the test tubes are transported one by one. An opening 112 is provided at the bottom of the silo 110, and a first push plate 210 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 122, and a second push plate 220 is fixedly connected to a side of the first push plate 210 away from the movable plate 122, and the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 are both passed through the opening 112, and the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 are driven to move synchronously by the movable plate 122, so that the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 can move up and down in the opening 112 to stir the test tubes in the silo 110, thereby automatically adjusting the positions of the test tubes in the silo 110, solving the problem that the test tubes are easily stuck in the silo 110, facilitating the test tubes to roll to the end of the movable plate 122, and improving the loading efficiency of the test tubes.

[0035] It should be noted that the angle between the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 can be 90 degrees, so that the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 can stir the test tube from two directions, so that the axis of the test tube can quickly rotate to a direction parallel to the wall surface of the movable plate 122, so that the test tube can smoothly roll to the upper end of the movable plate 122, without manually adjusting the position of the test tube, to achieve automatic loading of the test tube. In addition, the angle between the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 can also be set to an acute angle or an obtuse angle, which can also achieve stirring of the test tube in two directions.

[0036] In addition, the width of the opening 112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the test tube, so as to prevent leakage from the opening 112 when the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 are lowered.

[0037] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The lower end of the first push plate 210 is connected with a connecting plate 211, the connecting plate 211 and the first push plate 210 are perpendicular to each other, the connecting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 122, and a gap 212 is provided between the first push plate 210 and the movable plate 122. The connecting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 122, the connecting plate 211 and the first push plate 210 are perpendicular to each other, so that the first push plate 210 and the movable plate 122 are arranged in parallel, so that the test tube can be conveniently moved from both sides of the first push plate 210, and the test tube in the silo 110 can be smoothly stirred, so that the test tube can smoothly roll to the upper end of the movable plate 122, and the feeding efficiency of the test tube is improved. In addition, a gap 212 is provided between the first push plate 210 and the movable plate 122. By providing the gap 212, the first push plate 210 can conveniently drive the test tube to move in the silo 110, thereby increasing the movement amplitude of the test tube in the silo 110, accelerating the destruction of the overlapping state of the test tube in the silo 110, facilitating the test tube to move to the upper end of the movable plate 122, and improving the loading efficiency of the test tube.

[0038] It should be noted that the width of the gap 212 is greater than twice the outer diameter of the test tube, which facilitates the test tube to roll in the gap 212, so that the test tube can move smoothly to the upper end of the movable plate 122, so that the test tube can be smoothly pushed by the movable plate 122, thereby improving the loading efficiency of the test tube.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 A guide surface 213 is provided on one side of the first push plate 210 close to the movable plate 122, and the guide surface 213 is arranged obliquely to guide the test tube to move in the direction close to the movable plate 122. The guide surface 213 is arranged at the end of the first push plate 210 away from the connecting plate 211, and the guide surface 213 is arranged on the side of the first push plate 210 close to the movable plate 122, and the guide surface 213 is arranged obliquely so that the width of the upper end of the first push plate 210 gradually decreases in the direction away from the connecting plate 211, so that when the first push plate 210 moves upward, the guide surface 213 can abut against the test tube, so that the test tube can roll on the guide surface 213, thereby guiding the test tube to move in the direction close to the movable plate 122, so that the test tube can smoothly roll to the upper end of the movable plate 122, which is convenient for the loading of the test tube and improves the loading efficiency of the test tube.

[0040] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3, the first push plate 210 is tightly fitted with the movable plate 122. By setting the first push plate 210 to fit on the movable plate 122, the movable plate 122 drives the first push plate 210 to rise, so that the test tube can roll on the upper ends of the first push plate 210 and the movable plate 122, thereby preventing the test tube from being stuck in the silo, facilitating the stirring of the test tube in the silo 110, improving the success rate of adjusting the position of the test tube, preventing the test tubes in the silo 110 from overlapping each other, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the test tube, and improving the feeding efficiency of the test tube.

[0041] It should be noted that in order to improve the efficiency of the first push plate 210 in stirring the test tubes, the thickness of the first push plate 210 can be increased to reduce the possibility of the first push plate 210 extending into the gaps between the test tubes, thereby improving the efficiency of stirring the test tubes.

[0042] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The number of fixed plates 121 and movable plates 122 is set to three, and the three fixed plates 121 and the three movable plates 122 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the fixed plates 121 and the movable plates 122 are arranged in a staggered manner in the horizontal direction, and the first push plate 210 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 122 located below. The three movable plates 122 are driven to rise synchronously by the driving member 130, so that the movable plate 122 can drive the test tube to roll on the wall surface of the fixed plate 121, so that the test tube can move to the end of the fixed plate 121 and abut against the wall surface of the previous movable plate 122, and then the driving member 130 drives the three movable plates 122 to descend synchronously, so that the test tube can roll from the wall surface of the movable plate 122 to the upper end of the movable plate 122, so that the test tube can move to the end of the previous movable plate 122, and through the cooperation of multiple fixed plates 121 and multiple movable plates 122, the test tube can be driven to automatically output upward. The first push plate 210 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 122 located below, so that when the movable plate 122 located below rises, it can drive the first push plate 210 and the second push plate 220 to move synchronously, thereby facilitating the stirring of the test tubes in the silo 110 and improving the loading efficiency of the test tubes.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed plate 121 and the movable plate 122 are both arranged at an angle. The movable plate 122 is driven to move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 121, so that after the movable plate 122 drives the test tube to rise, the test tube can smoothly abut against the wall surface of the fixed plate 121, and can guide the test tube to smoothly roll from the wall surface of the fixed plate 121 to the upper end of the fixed plate 121, which is convenient for the movement of the test tube and improves the loading stability of the test tube.

[0044] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The feeding mechanism 100 further includes a detection assembly 140, which includes a controller, a transmitter 141 and a receiver 142. Through holes 113 are provided on both sides of the silo 110. The transmitter 141 and the receiver 142 are respectively arranged in the two through holes 113. The transmitter 141 is used to transmit a signal to the receiver 142 to detect the test tube. The transmitter 141, the receiver 142 and the driving member 130 are all electrically connected to the controller. Through holes 113 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the silo 110. The transmitter 141 and the receiver 142 are respectively arranged in the two through holes 113. The transmitter 141 is used to transmit a signal to the receiver 142, and the signal can pass through the two through holes 113. When the test tube is placed in the silo 110, the test tube can be blocked between the two through holes 113, so that the receiver 142 cannot receive the signal sent by the transmitter 141, and the controller controls the driver 130 to start, so that the movable plate 122 can move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 121; when there is no test tube in the silo 110, the signal sent by the transmitter 141 can be received by the receiver 142, and the controller controls the driver 130 to close. This realizes automatic feeding of the test tube, reduces manual operation, and improves the feeding efficiency of the test tube.

[0045] The transmitter 141 and the receiver 142 can be photoelectric sensor components or ultrasonic sensor components, as long as they can sense the test tube. The controller can be a single chip microcomputer, a programmable logic controller, or an industrial computer, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] It should be noted that the shape of the bottom of the silo 110 is convex outward, so that the inner wall of the bottom of the silo 110 is arranged inclined, so that the test tubes in the silo 110 can roll along the inclined direction of the bottom wall, which is convenient for the detection component 140 to detect the test tubes.

[0047] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving member 130 includes a bottom plate 131, a motor 132, a belt 133, a driving wheel 134 and a driven wheel 135. The driving wheel 134 and the driven wheel 135 are both rotatably connected to the bottom plate 131. The driving wheel 134 and the driven wheel 135 cooperate to tighten the belt 133. The movable plate 122 is fixedly connected to the belt 133. The motor 132 is used to drive the driving wheel 134 to rotate so as to drive the belt 133 to move. The driving wheel 134 and the driven wheel 135 are both rotatably connected to the bottom plate 131. The driving wheel 134 and the driven wheel 135 cooperate to tighten the belt 133. The movable plate 122 is fixedly connected to the belt 133. The driving wheel 134 is driven to rotate by the motor 132, so that the belt 133 can drive the movable plate 122 to move in a straight line, thereby driving the movable plate 122 to move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 121, so as to realize automatic feeding of the test tube and improve the feeding efficiency of the test tube.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving member 130 further includes a guide rail 136 and a slider 137. The guide rail 136 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 131, the slider 137 is slidably connected to the guide rail 136, and the movable plate 122 is fixedly connected to the slider 137. The guide rail 136 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 131, and the slider 137 is slidably connected to the guide rail 136, and the movable plate 122 is fixedly connected to the slider 137, so that the movable plate 122 can be guided to move along the length direction of the guide rail 136, thereby improving the movement stability and accuracy of the movable plate 122, so that the movable plate 122 can smoothly move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 121, and improve the feeding stability of the test tube.

[0049] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The fully automatic sample processing system of the second aspect of the utility model includes the test tube loading device of the first aspect of the utility model. Since it has all the technical features of the test tube loading device of the first aspect of the utility model, it also has the beneficial effects of all the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0050] It should be noted that the fully automatic sample processing system includes the test tube loading device of the first aspect of the utility model, which can realize automatic loading of test tubes and can stir the test tubes to facilitate the loading of test tubes, reduce manual participation, reduce labor intensity, and improve work efficiency.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
