[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 4 The test tube conveying device of the utility model includes a silo 100 and a conveying mechanism 200. The silo 100 is used to store test tubes. A loading port 110 is provided at the bottom of the silo 100. A rotating shaft 120 and a stirring plate 130 are provided at the bottom of the silo 100. The rotating shaft 120 is fixedly connected to the silo 100. The stirring plate 130 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 120, and the stirring plate 130 is arranged adjacent to the loading port 110. The conveying mechanism 200 is used to drive the test tube to be output from the loading port 110. The conveying mechanism 200 includes a driving member 210 and a top block 240. The driving member 210 can drive the top block 240 to abut against the stirring plate 130 so that the stirring plate 130 rotates around the rotating shaft 120.

[0035] A loading port 110 is provided at the bottom of the silo 100, a rotating shaft 120 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the silo 100, and a stirring plate 130 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 120, so that the stirring plate 130 can rotate around the rotating shaft 120, and the top block 240 is driven by the driving member 210 to abut against the stirring plate 130, thereby driving the stirring plate 130 to rotate around the rotating shaft 120, so that the stirring plate 130 can adjust the position of the test tube in the silo 100, and then the conveying mechanism 200 drives the test tube to be output from the loading port 110, so that the movable plate 230 can smoothly drive the test tube to be output, without manually adjusting the position of the test tube, avoiding the test tube from staying in the test tube, and improving the feeding efficiency of the test tube.

[0036] It should be noted that by arranging the stirring plate 130 at the bottom of the silo 100, when the top block 240 drives the stirring plate 130 to rotate, the stirring plate 130 can stir all the test tubes in the silo 100, thereby conveniently adjusting the position of the test tubes in the silo 100, allowing the test tubes to move in the silo 100, and guiding the test tubes to move to the end of the movable plate 230, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the test tubes.

[0037] It can be understood that when the number of test tubes in the silo 100 is large, the stirring plate 130 can stir the test tubes in the silo 100 so that the test tubes can move in the silo 100, avoiding multiple test tubes from overlapping and getting stuck together, facilitating the output of the test tubes, and improving the transportation stability of the test tubes; when the number of test tubes in the silo 100 is small, the stirring plate 130 can guide the test tubes to move toward the loading port 110, avoiding the test tubes from staying in the silo 100, and there is no need to manually adjust the position of the test tubes, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the test tubes.

[0038] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The upper side of the stirring plate 130 is set as an inclined surface to guide the test tube to approach the upper material port 110. By setting the upper side of the stirring plate 130 as an inclined surface, when the stirring plate 130 drives the test tube to move in the silo 100, the test tube can move toward the direction close to the upper material port 110, so that the test tube can be smoothly output, and the test tubes are prevented from overlapping and getting stuck in the silo 100, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the test tubes.

[0039] It should be noted that by setting the upper side surface of the stirring plate 130 to be an inclined surface, when the stirring plate 130 drives the test tube to rise or fall, the test tube can simultaneously move toward the direction close to the loading port 110, which can increase the movement amplitude of the test tube, make the test tube easier to output, and improve the transportation stability of the test tube.

[0040] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 A limit block 140 is disposed below the stirring plate 130, and the limit block 140 is disposed on a side of the stirring plate 130 away from the rotating shaft 120. The limit block 140 is disposed below the stirring plate 130, and the stirring plate 130 can abut against the limit block 140 to limit the movement position of the stirring plate 130, which can increase the bearing capacity of the stirring plate 130, reduce the deformation of the stirring plate 130, and enable the test tube to be stably placed on the stirring plate 130, thereby improving the movement stability of the test tube.

[0041] Furthermore, by providing the limit block 140 , the stirring plate 130 can be prevented from colliding with the silo 100 , thereby preventing the stirring plate 130 from wearing the silo 100 , thereby improving the reliability of the silo 100 and extending its service life.

[0042] In addition, the driving member 210 drives the top block 240 to rise, so that the top block 240 can drive the stirring plate 130 to move in the direction away from the limit block 140, so that the test tube in the silo 100 can rise, and then the top block 240 is reset, and the stirring plate 130 abuts against the limit block 140, thereby stirring the test tube in the silo 100, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the test tube, and enabling the stirring plate 130 to move accurately, avoiding the test tube from being stuck between the stirring plate 130 and the silo 100, and enabling the test tube to be stably output.

[0043] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the number of the rotating shaft 120 and the stirring plate 130 are both provided with two, and the two rotating shafts 120 and the stirring plates 130 are respectively arranged on both sides of the loading port 110. By arranging two rotating shafts 120 on both sides of the loading port 110, the top block 240 can synchronously drive the two stirring plates 130 to rotate, so that the test tubes in the silo 100 can be stirred from two directions, increasing the movement amplitude of the test tubes, reducing the possibility of the test tubes being stuck in the silo 100, and allowing the test tubes to move smoothly, which is convenient for the test tubes to be output.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two rotating shafts 120 can be arranged on both sides of the silo 100 away from the loading port 110, or can be arranged on both sides of the silo 100 close to the loading port 110. By arranging the stirring plate 130 to rotate on the rotating shaft 120, the stirring plate 130 can drive the test tube in the silo 100 to move, so as to facilitate the test tube to move to the end of the loading port 110, facilitate the test tube output, and improve the transportation stability of the test tube.

[0045] It can be understood that the number of the rotating shaft 120 and the stirring plate 130 can also be set to 1, and the corresponding positions of the rotating shaft 120 and the stirring plate 130 can be set in the middle of the silo 100, or can be set on one side of the silo 100. The stirring plate can rotate the rotating shaft to stir the test tube in the silo 100 to avoid the problem of the test tube getting stuck.

[0046] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The conveying mechanism 200 is provided with a connecting frame 241, and the number of the top blocks 240 is set to two. The connecting frame 241 extends to both sides away from the feeding port 110, and the two top blocks 240 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting frame 241, and the top blocks 240 are connected to the connecting frame 241 through fasteners. The fasteners are inserted into the top blocks 240 and connected to the connecting frame 241. By providing the fasteners, the installation or disassembly of the top blocks 240 can be facilitated, the difficulty of assembly can be reduced, the convenience of maintenance can be improved, and the maintenance cost can be reduced. In addition, the two top blocks 240 are arranged on both sides of the connecting frame 241. By providing the connecting frame 241 to extend to both sides away from the feeding port 110, the two top blocks 240 can be close to the rotating shaft 120, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the stirring plate 130 and increasing the movement range of the test tube.

[0047] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 4 The conveying mechanism 200 includes a fixed plate 220 and a movable plate 230. The fixed plate 220 is arranged adjacent to the loading port 110. The movable plate 230 is movably arranged at the loading port 110. The end of the movable plate 230 can receive the test tube. The driving member 210 is used to drive the movable plate 230 to move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 220. The top block 240 is connected to the movable plate 230. The driving member 210 drives the movable plate 230 to move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 220 to drive the test tube to roll on the wall of the fixed plate 220, thereby driving the test tube to rise, so that the test tube can be output one by one from the loading port 110, and the top block 240 is connected to the movable plate 230 so that the top block 240 and the movable plate 230 move synchronously, which is convenient for stirring the test tube in the silo 100 and improving the output efficiency of the test tube. In addition, by connecting the top block 240 to the movable plate 230, the movable plate 230 and the top block 240 can move synchronously without adding an additional power mechanism, thereby simplifying the structure of the test tube transport device and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top block 240 is provided with an elongated hole 242, which is arranged along the length direction of the top block 240, and the fastener is inserted into the elongated hole 242, and the fastener is threadedly connected to the connecting frame 241. The fastener is inserted into the elongated hole 242, and the fastener is threadedly connected to the connecting frame 241, and the elongated hole 242 is arranged along the length direction of the top block 240. By setting the fastener to slide in the length direction of the elongated hole 242, the position of the top block 240 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the top block 240 can move in a direction close to or away from the silo 100, so that the rotation angle of the stirring plate 130 can be adjusted, which is convenient for the test tube to be output from the silo 100 and improves the smoothness of the movement of the test tube.

[0049] Among them, the number of elongated holes 242 can be set to multiple, the number of fasteners can also be set to multiple, and the elongated holes 242 and the fasteners correspond one to one, and multiple elongated holes 242 are arranged side by side. By setting fasteners to pass through the elongated holes 242, the top block 240 can be easily positioned on the connecting frame 241, thereby reducing the position shaking of the top block 240 and improving the position accuracy of the top block 240.

[0050] It should be noted that the fasteners may be bolts or screws, and any fasteners that can fix the top block 240 on the connecting frame 241 are not described in detail here.

[0051] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The number of fixed plates 220 and movable plates 230 is set to three, and the three fixed plates 220 and the three movable plates 230 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the fixed plates 220 and the movable plates 230 are arranged in a staggered manner in the horizontal direction, and the top block 240 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 230 located below. The three movable plates 230 are driven to rise synchronously by the driving member 210, so that the movable plate 230 can drive the test tube to roll on the wall surface of the fixed plate 220, so that the test tube can move to the end of the fixed plate 220 and abut against the wall surface of the previous movable plate 230, and then the driving member 210 drives the three movable plates 230 to descend synchronously, so that the test tube can roll from the wall surface of the movable plate 230 to the upper end of the movable plate 230, so that the test tube can move to the end of the previous movable plate 230, and through the cooperation of multiple fixed plates 220 and multiple movable plates 230, the test tube can be driven to automatically output upward. The top block 240 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 230 located below, so that when the movable plate 230 located below rises, it can drive the stirring plate 130 to rotate around the rotating shaft 120, so as to stir the test tubes in the silo 100 and improve the transportation efficiency of the test tubes.

[0052] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixed plate 220 and the movable plate 230 are both arranged at an angle. By setting the fixed plate 220 and the movable plate 230 to be arranged at an angle, after the movable plate 230 drives the test tube to rise, the test tube can smoothly abut against the wall surface of the fixed plate 220, and can guide the test tube to smoothly roll from the wall surface of the movable plate 230 to the upper end of the movable plate 230, which facilitates the movement of the test tube and improves the transportation stability of the test tube.

[0053] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8The driving member 210 includes a bottom plate 211, a motor 212, a belt 213, a driving wheel 214 and a driven wheel 215. The driving wheel 214 and the driven wheel 215 are both rotatably connected to the bottom plate 211. The driving wheel 214 and the driven wheel 215 cooperate to tighten the belt 213. The movable plate 230 is fixedly connected to the belt 213. The motor 212 is used to drive the driving wheel 214 to rotate to drive the belt 213 to move. The driving wheel 214 and the driven wheel 215 are both rotatably connected to the bottom plate 211. The driving wheel 214 and the driven wheel 215 cooperate to tighten the belt 213. The movable plate 230 is fixedly connected to the belt 213. The driving wheel 214 is driven by the motor 212 to rotate, so that the belt 213 can drive the movable plate 230 to move in a straight line, thereby driving the movable plate 230 to move up and down on one side of the fixed plate 220, so as to realize the automatic transportation of the test tube and improve the transportation efficiency of the test tube.

[0054] 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 conveying device of the embodiment of the utility model, it also has the beneficial effects of all the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] It should be noted that the fully automatic sample processing system includes the test tube transport device of the first aspect of the utility model, which can realize automatic transport of test tubes and stir the test tubes to facilitate the transport of test tubes, reduce manual participation, reduce labor intensity, and improve work efficiency.

[0056] 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.
