[0002] In medical testing instruments such as blood testing, urine testing, and antigen testing, samples are usually collected using test tubes. During testing, multiple test tubes are inserted upright into a test tube rack, and samples are inspected through automated transport and scheduling to achieve sample mixing, testing, analysis, and storage in different working areas of the analytical instrument.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model proposes a transfer device 100 for transferring a test tube rack 7. The transfer device 100 includes a base 1, a driving structure 2 and two transfer components 3. The driving structure 2 is arranged on the base 1. The two transfer components 3 are slidably connected to the base 1 and are connected to the driving structure 2. Each transfer component 3 is provided with a transmission track 34, and the transmission track 34 is used to transfer the test tube rack 7; wherein the driving structure 2 drives the two transfer components 3 to move along a first direction relative to the base 1, and the transmission track 34 drives the test tube rack 7 to move along a second direction relative to the base 1, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transfer device 100 is used to transfer the test tube rack 7, that is, in a biomedical sample detection instrument, the test tube rack 7 carrying the test tube needs to be transferred to a different area to perform detection, analysis, storage and call operations on the samples in the test tube. The transfer device 100 is provided with a base 1, which is a structural support component of the transfer device 100. The base 1 can be a frame, a mounting frame or a support frame and other structures, which are not limited here. In addition, a driving structure 2 and two transfer components 3 are arranged on the base 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving structure 2 is connected to two transfer assemblies 3, and is used to drive the two transfer assemblies 3 to move on the base 1. At the same time, the two transfer assemblies 3 can be slidably connected to the base 1. The driving structure 2 can be a linear motor and is provided with two power output ends, which are respectively connected to the two transfer assemblies 3. The driving structure 2 can also be a screw structure, and the transfer assembly 3 is spirally connected to the screw structure to achieve sliding movement relative to the base 1.

[0052] At the same time, the two transfer components 3 can slide on the base 1 in the same direction or in different directions. The sliding direction of the two transfer components 3 relative to the base 1 is the first direction, that is, the direction in which the driving structure 2 drives the transfer component 3 to move is the first direction. The transfer component 3 is provided with a transmission track 34 for carrying and transferring the test tube rack 7. The direction in which the transmission track 34 transmits the test tube rack 7 is the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0053] It can be understood that the transmission track 34 formed by the transfer component 3 can perform the loading and unloading operations of the test tube rack 7, that is, the test tube rack 7 located outside can be input into the transmission track 34, and the test tube rack 7 on the transmission track 34 can be output to the external area. The transfer device 100 corresponds to different external areas for placing the test tube rack 7, such as the detection area, the placement area, etc. The driving structure 2 drives the transfer component 3 to move along the first direction, thereby driving the test tube rack 7 arranged on the transfer component 3 to move along the first direction, so that the transfer component 3 can stay in the corresponding area and transfer the test tube rack 7 located in the transmission track 34 to the corresponding detection area or placement area to realize the scheduling and transfer of the test tube rack 7. Not only does it not require a traditional mechanical gripper or pusher structure, but it also does not require the setting of multiple transmission lines. Through the cooperation of the driving structure 2 and the transfer component 3, the scheduling of the test tube rack 7 at any position in the first direction can be realized, effectively improving the efficiency of the scheduling and transfer of the test tube rack 7.

[0054] The transfer device 100 of the present technical solution is used to transfer the test tube rack 7. The transfer device 100 is provided with a base 1, and the base 1 is used to install a driving structure 2 and two transfer components 3. The two transfer components 3 are slidably connected to the base 1 and connected to the driving structure 2. Each transfer component 3 is provided with a transmission track 34. The transmission track 34 is used to transfer the test tube rack 7 to realize the loading and unloading of the test tube rack 7, wherein the driving structure 2 drives the two transfer components 3 to slide along a first direction relative to the base 1, and the transmission track 34 drives the test tube rack 7 to move along a second direction relative to the base 1, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The driving structure 2 is used to simultaneously transfer and dispatch the two test tube racks 7 arranged on the transfer components 3, so as to realize the rapid alignment of the test tube rack 7 with the corresponding placement position, effectively reduce the space occupied by the transfer device 100, and effectively improve the efficiency of transferring and dispatching the test tube rack 7.

[0055] In one embodiment, the driving structures 2 include two driving structures 2 , which extend along the first direction and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the second direction. Each transfer assembly 3 is connected to one driving structure 2 .

[0056] It is understandable that if Figure 3As described, the two driving structures 2 are both extended along the first direction, and the two driving structures 2 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the second direction. Each driving structure 2 is connected to a transfer component 3, so that each driving structure 2 can independently drive a transfer component 3 to move along the first direction, so that the two transfer components 3 are independent of each other when moving along the first direction. The two transfer components 3 can dispatch the test tube racks 7 to different areas. For example, the two driving structures 2 can simultaneously dispatch the two test tube racks 7 to different areas on the same side of the first direction, and can also independently dispatch the two test tube racks 7 to different areas on different sides of the first direction at the same time. Not only can multi-station collaborative dispatching be achieved to effectively improve the dispatching efficiency, but also the area to be dispatched can be controlled, the precise dispatching of the test tube racks 7 can be achieved, and the placement area of ​​the test tube racks 7 can be expanded.

[0057] In one embodiment, the two driving structures 2 drive the two transfer assemblies 3 to move in the same direction; or, to move away from each other in opposite directions; or, to move relative to each other in opposite directions.

[0058] It can be understood that each driving structure 2 drives a transfer component 3 to move, so that the two transfer components 3 drive the test tube rack 7 to perform independent transfer and scheduling. During the transfer process, the two driving structures 2 drive the two transfer components 3 to move in the same direction or in different directions. When moving in the same direction, each driving structure 2 drives a transfer component 3 to move in a first direction. At this time, the two transfer components 3 can move in all or part of the movable area of ​​the base 1 along the first direction, and when the two transfer components 3 transfer the test tube rack 7 to the same side of the first direction, the two transfer components 3 have a sequence of movement to avoid mutual collision. When the two transfer components 3 transfer the test tube rack 7 to both sides of the first direction respectively, the two driving structures 2 can simultaneously control the movement of the transfer components 3, and the two independently schedule the test tube rack 7 to improve the transfer efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, when the two driving structures 2 drive the two transfer assemblies 3 to move in different directions, they can move away from each other in different directions, or move facing each other in different directions. If the two transfer assemblies 3 have overlapping parts along the first direction, such as sharing the same slide rail 11 of the base 1, or the structural dimensions of the transfer assemblies 3 are large and cause motion interference, or the two transfer assemblies 3 dispatch the test tube rack 7 to the same side along the first direction, then when the two transfer assemblies 3 move in different directions, they only occupy part of the area of ​​the base 1 to dispatch the test tube rack 7, thereby avoiding motion interference or collision while ensuring the dispatching efficiency of the test tube rack 7.

[0060] In one embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a slide rail 11, the slide rail 11 extends along a first direction, and the two transfer assemblies 3 are slidably connected to the slide rail 11; it can be understood that, if Figure 3As shown, each transfer assembly 3 is provided with a slider, and each slider is slidably connected to the slide rail 11, so that two transfer assemblies 3 are slidably connected to the slide rail 11 at the same time. At this time, when the two transfer assemblies 3 slide relative to the base 1, motion interference is inevitable. Therefore, each transfer assembly 3 drives a test tube rack 7 to move only in a partial area of ​​the base 1 to transfer and dispatch the test tube rack 7.

[0061] Optionally, the two driving structures 2 are arranged on one side or both sides of the slide rail 11; in another embodiment of the utility model, when the two transfer components 3 are slidably connected to the slide rail, the length of the synchronous belt or transmission chain of the driving structure 2 is set to better match the length of the moving area of ​​the transfer component 3 along the slide rail, thereby reducing the transmission distance of the driving structure 2, improving the response speed of the driving structure 2 to the transfer component 3, and scheduling the test tube rack 7 more accurately and quickly in a smaller area.

[0062] In one embodiment, the base 1 is provided with two sliding areas 12, and each transfer component 3 is slidably arranged in a sliding area 12; each sliding area 12 is provided with a starting position 121, and the starting position 121 is located at the end of the sliding area 12 along the first direction; wherein, the transfer device 100 has a loading state for receiving the test tube rack 7 and an empty state without the test tube rack 7, and in the loading state and the empty state, the driving structure 2 drives the transfer component 3 to be located at the starting position 121.

[0063] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is provided with two sliding areas 12, and each transfer component 3 moves in one sliding area 12. At the same time, the sliding area 12 is also arranged corresponding to the placement area of ​​the test tube rack 7. When the transfer component 3 moves in the corresponding sliding area 12, the test tube rack 7 can be transferred and dispatched to the corresponding placement area, and the test tube rack 7 can be pushed to the corresponding placement area. When the two transfer components 3 move in the same direction, the two sliding areas 12 can overlap with each other. When the two transfer components 3 move in the opposite direction, the two sliding areas 12 are arranged in partitions and are adjacent to each other, so that each transfer component 3 slides correspondingly in one sliding area 12.

[0064] In this embodiment, a starting position 121 is set in each sliding area 12. When the two sliding areas 12 overlap, the two sliding areas 12 can share a starting position 121. When the two sliding areas 12 do not overlap, the starting position 121 of each sliding area 12 is at its end along one end of the first direction. The transfer device 100 has a loading state ready to receive the test tube rack 7, that is, the transfer component 3 receives the test tube rack 7 through the transmission track 34, so that the test tube rack 7 is loaded to the transfer component 3, and also has an empty state without a test tube rack 7, that is, after the transfer component 3 transfers the test tube rack 7 to the corresponding placement area in the sliding area 12, the test tube rack 7 will return to the starting position 121.

[0065] It can be understood that the distance that the transfer component 3 moves in the sliding area 12 does not exceed the length of the base 1 along the first direction. The starting position 121 is the initial position of the transfer component 3 sliding in the sliding area 12. If the two transfer components 3 move relative to each other or move away from each other in opposite directions, the starting position 121 can be respectively set at the adjacent ends of the two sliding areas 12, or can be set at the two ends of the two sliding areas 12 that are far away from each other in the first direction, which is not limited here. The starting position 121 can correspond to the device for loading materials to the transfer component 3, so that the transfer component 3 returns to the starting position 121 when receiving the test tube rack 7 or after dispatching the test tube rack 7, and performs the loading operation, which is convenient for positioning the transfer device 100.

[0066] In one embodiment, the transfer device 100 also includes an anti-collision component 4, which includes a limit block 41 and a buffer member 42. The limit block 41 is arranged on the base 1 and is located between two adjacent sliding areas 12. The buffer member 42 is arranged on the side of the transfer component 3 facing the limit block 41.

[0067] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one limit block 41 is arranged between the two sliding areas 12. The limit block 41 can be a block structure of soft material, such as rubber, silicone, etc., or a hard material, which is not limited here. At the same time, the limit block 41 can also be arranged at the edge of the base 1 along the first direction, or at the end of each sliding area 12 along the first direction.

[0068] It can be understood that a buffer 42 is provided on the transfer component 3, and the buffer 42 is a soft structure, such as rubber, etc. When the transfer component 3 slides in the sliding area 12, the limit block 41 can abut against the buffer 42 to limit the moving position of the transfer component 3, and provide a mechanical hard limit for the transfer device 100, thereby avoiding the two transfer components 3 from colliding with each other when moving.

[0069] In one embodiment, the driving structure 2 includes a driving member 21, a driven wheel 22 and a first synchronous belt 23. The driving member 21 is arranged on the base 1. The output end of the driving member 21 is provided with a driving wheel 211. The driven wheel 22 is arranged on the base 1. The driven wheel 22 and the driving wheel 211 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The first synchronous belt 23 is wound around the driving wheel 211 and the driven wheel 22. The transfer component 3 is connected to the first synchronous belt 23.

[0070] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the driving member 21 is arranged on the base 1, and the base 1 is provided with an output shaft hole, so that the output shaft of the driving member 21 can pass through the output shaft hole and extend to the other side of the base 1. On the other side of the base 1, the output shaft of the driving member 21 is provided with a driving wheel 211, and the driving wheel 211 is a synchronous belt transmission wheel. At the same time, the base 1 is also provided with a driven wheel 22 spaced apart from the driving wheel 211 along the first direction, so that the first synchronous belt 23 can be simultaneously wound around the driving wheel 211 and the driven wheel 22, and the transfer component 3 is connected to the first synchronous belt 23.

[0071] It can be understood that the driving member 21 realizes the rotation of the first synchronous belt 23 by driving the active wheel 211 to rotate, and the transfer component 3 is provided with a synchronous belt pressure plate, which can be meshed and connected with the synchronous teeth on the surface of the synchronous belt, so that the transfer component 3 moves together with the first synchronous belt 23, so as to realize the driving structure 2 driving the transfer component 3 to move along the first direction, and the driving structure 2 drives the transfer component 3 to drive the transfer component 3 to any specified position within the transmission length range of the first synchronous belt 23, so as to realize the stepless movement of the transfer component 3, so that the test tube rack 7 arranged on the transfer component 3 can reach any specified position, thereby effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of the scheduling of the test tube rack 7.

[0072] In one embodiment, the transfer assembly 3 includes a slide 31, a transmission module 32 and two baffles 33. The slide 31 is slidably connected to the base 1. The transmission module 32 is arranged on the slide 31. The transmission module 32 is provided with a second synchronous belt 321. The second synchronous belt 321 is extended along the second direction. The two baffles 33 are arranged on both sides of the second synchronous belt 321 along the second direction so that the two baffles 33 and the second synchronous belt 321 are enclosed to form a transmission track 34.

[0073] It is understandable that if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each transfer assembly 3 is provided with a slider, each slider is slidably connected to the slide rail 11, and at the same time, each slide 31 is connected to a slider, a transmission module 32 and a baffle 33 are arranged on the slide 31 to slide along the slide rail 11 with the slide 31, the transmission module 32 includes a driving member 21 and a synchronous belt module, the synchronous belt module includes a plurality of synchronous pulleys and a second synchronous belt 321, one of the plurality of synchronous pulleys is connected to the driving member 21, the second synchronous belt 321 is wound around the plurality of synchronous pulleys, so that the driving member 21 can drive the second synchronous belt 321 to rotate, and the second synchronous belt 321 is transmitted along the second direction, and the second synchronous belt 321 and the two baffles 33 together form a transmission track 34 to transmit the test tube rack 7, realize the loading and unloading of the test tube rack 7, and realize the transfer of the test tube rack 7.

[0074] In one embodiment, the transfer device 100 also includes an identification component 5, which includes a photoelectric sensor 51 and a controller 52. The photoelectric sensor 51 is arranged on the transfer component 3, and the photoelectric sensor 51 is used to detect whether there is a test tube rack 7 on the transmission track 34. The controller 52 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor 51, and the controller 52 is electrically connected to the driving structure 2 and the transfer component 3.

[0075] It is understandable that if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the photoelectric sensor 51 is arranged on the transfer assembly 3. When the photoelectric sensor 51 recognizes that a test tube rack 7 enters the transmission track 34, the photoelectric sensor 51 transmits the identification information to the controller 52, and the controller 52 controls the driving member 21 of the transfer assembly 3 to stop transmission so that the test tube rack 7 is on the transmission track 34. At the same time, the controller 52 controls the driving member 21 of the driving structure 2 to start moving, driving the transfer assembly 3 and the test tube rack 7 to move in the sliding area 12, and dispatching the test tube rack 7 to the required placement area.

[0076] Furthermore, when the driving structure 2 drives the transfer assembly 3 and the test tube rack 7 to the corresponding placement area, the transfer assembly 3 transfers the test tube rack 7 to the outside of the transmission track 34, and the photoelectric sensor 51 recognizes that there is no test tube rack 7 in the transmission track 34 at this time, and then controls the driving structure 2 through the controller 52 to drive the transfer assembly 3 back to the starting position 121, waiting for a new test tube rack 7 to be loaded into the transmission track 34. In addition, the photoelectric sensors 51 on the two transfer assemblies 3 can independently identify and independently control the movement of the transfer assembly 3 and the driving structure 2 through the controller 52 to realize the transfer and scheduling of test tube racks 7 with different functions, thereby improving the scheduling efficiency.

[0077] Optionally, the transfer device 100 further includes a barcode scanner 6, which is disposed on the transfer assembly 3 and is used to scan information of the test tube rack 7 located on the transfer track 34. It can be understood that Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the barcode scanner 6 is used to scan the barcode on the test tube rack 7 to obtain the test tube rack 7 information or sample information. By changing the position of the barcode scanning component of the test tube rack 7, such as setting it in the middle area, end, etc. of the transfer component 3, the transfer component 3 can be compatible with the transmission of ten-racks and five-racks, and can also be compatible with the scanning of the rack on the left or right side, so as to improve the flexibility and versatility of the transfer device 100 and improve the scheduling efficiency.
