[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] At present, the number of testing items in milk is increasing, and the labor costs required are also increasing. Automation and unmanned testing have become a necessary part of achieving digital transformation. The rapid detection of animal residues and pesticide residues in milk relies on molecular biological technology, mainly using test strips for verification. At present, most test strips are stored in closed boxes, and the lid must be opened manually to take them out.

[0028] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the test paper storage device of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a test paper storage bottle 1 and a cover opening assembly 2.

[0029] Among them, the test paper storage bottle 1 includes a bottle body 11 and a cover body 12, and the cover body 12 is arranged above the bottle body 11 to seal the opening of the bottle body 11. The bottle body 11 is made of a transparent or translucent material (such as glass, high borosilicate glass or high-quality plastic) to facilitate observation of the remaining amount and status of the test paper. The bottle body 11 can be designed to be square or cylindrical, with a slightly wider bottom to increase stability, and an opening at the top for placing and removing the test paper. The cover body 12 is designed to be in a shape that fits closely with the opening of the bottle body 11, and is also made of a corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean material. A sealing pad (such as a silicone pad) can be provided on the inside of the cover body 12 to enhance the sealing effect and prevent moisture or contaminants from entering the interior of the bottle body 11.

[0030] In addition, the cover opening assembly 2 is disposed on the test paper storage bottle 1, and is configured to drive the cover body 12 to move relative to the bottle body 11 to close or open the opening. For example, the cover opening assembly 2 drives the cover body 12 to slide relative to the bottle body 11 in a depth direction perpendicular to the bottle body 11, that is, the cover body 12 slides in a horizontal direction relative to the bottle body 11. The cover opening assembly 2 drives the cover body 12 to move relative to the bottle body 11 in the depth direction of the bottle body 11, that is, the cover body 12 rises and falls in a vertical direction relative to the bottle body 11. The cover body 12 is rotatably connected to the bottle body 11 via a rotating shaft, and the cover opening assembly 2 drives the cover body 12 to rotate relative to the bottle body 11 around the rotating shaft, that is, the cover body 12 flips relative to the bottle body 11.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, the cover opening component 2 is started, and under the drive of the cover opening component 2, the cover body 12 is moved relative to the bottle body 11 until the cover body 12 is separated from the opening of the bottle body 11, thereby realizing automatic cover opening. At this time, the required number of test strips can be taken out from the opening without manually rotating or pulling out the cover body 12; after use, the cover opening component 2 is operated again to move the cover body 12 back to the opening of the bottle body 11 and seal it tightly.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the cover body 12 is slidably disposed on the bottle body 11, and the cover opening assembly 2 includes an opening and closing motor 21, which is installed on the bottle body 11 and is configured to drive the cover body 12 to slide relative to the bottle body 11 in a depth direction perpendicular to the bottle body 11.

[0033] Among them, one of the cover body 12 and the bottle body 11 is provided with a guide block, and the other is provided with a guide groove adapted to the guide block, the guide block and the guide groove are slidably matched, and the length of the guide block is less than the length of the guide groove, so that the cover body 12 can be ensured to slide in the horizontal direction relative to the bottle body 11. In addition, the size of the cover body 12 is larger than that of the bottle body 11, that is, the projected area of ​​the bottle body 11 on the surface of the cover body 12 is smaller than the surface area, so that it is convenient to set various functional components on the cover body 12.

[0034] It is particularly important to point out that the opening and closing motor 21 can be a linear motor. In this way, the linear motor is installed on the bottle body 11, and the action end of the linear motor is connected to the cover body 12 through an adapter. Driven by the linear motor, the cover body 12 moves slowly along a preset trajectory until the cover body 12 is separated from the opening of the bottle body 11, thereby realizing automatic opening of the cover.

[0035] Alternatively, the opening and closing motor 21 can be a rotary motor, which is connected to a rack via a transmission gear. The rotary motor and the transmission gear are arranged on the bottle body 11, and the transmission gear is arranged on the output shaft of the rotary motor. The transmission gear is meshed with the rack, and the rack is fixed to the cover body 12. In this way, the rotary motion of the rotary motor can be converted into linear motion of the cover body 12.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the lid opening assembly 2 includes an opening and closing motor 21, which is installed on the bottle body 11 and is configured to drive the lid body 12 to move relative to the bottle body 11 in the depth direction of the bottle body 11 so that the lid body 12 is close to or away from the bottle body 11.

[0037] It is particularly important to point out that the opening and closing motor 21 can be a linear motor. In this way, the linear motor is installed on the bottle body 11, and the action end of the linear motor is connected to the cover body 12. Driven by the linear motor, the cover body 12 slowly rises along a preset trajectory until it is completely separated from the opening of the bottle body 11, thereby realizing automatic opening of the cover, and slowly descends along a preset trajectory until it is completely fitted with the opening of the bottle body 11, thereby realizing automatic closing of the cover.

[0038] Alternatively, the opening and closing motor 21 can be a rotary motor, which is connected to a rack via a transmission gear. The rotary motor and the transmission gear are arranged on the bottle body 11, and the transmission gear is arranged on the output shaft of the rotary motor. The transmission gear is meshingly connected with the rack, and a part of the rack is slidably arranged on the bottle body 11, and the other part is fixed to the cover body 12. In this way, the rotary motion of the rotary motor can be converted into the linear motion of the cover body 12.

[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, the opening and closing motor 21 is started, and under the drive of the opening and closing motor 21, the cover body 12 is slowly raised along a preset trajectory until it is completely separated from the opening of the bottle body 11, thereby realizing automatic opening of the cover. At this time, the required number of test strips can be taken out from the opening without manually rotating or pulling out the cover body 12; after use, the opening and closing motor 21 is operated again to lower the cover body 12 back to the opening of the bottle body 11 and seal it tightly.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover opening assembly 2 further includes a control mainboard 22 , which is electrically connected to the opening and closing motor 21 and is configured to control the opening and closing motor 21 to start and stop according to instructions.

[0041] It should be noted that the control mainboard 22 is electrically connected to the opening and closing motor 21 through the cable 23 to achieve precise control of the opening and closing motor 21. The user or external device can send instructions to the control mainboard 22 to control the opening and closing motor 21 to start and stop, thereby realizing the automatic operation of the cover 12 of the test paper storage bottle 1.

[0042] Exemplarily, the control mainboard 22 integrates a microprocessor (such as MCU, ARM, etc.), a power management module, a communication interface (such as UART, SPI, I2C, etc.) and necessary drive circuits. The microprocessor is responsible for receiving external instructions, parsing the instruction content, and controlling the action of the opening and closing motor 21 according to the preset logic. The power management module is responsible for providing a stable power supply for the control mainboard 22 and the opening and closing motor 21 to ensure stable operation of the system. The communication interface is used for data transmission and instruction exchange with external devices (such as remote controls, touch screens, computers or smart phones, etc.).

[0043] Furthermore, the opening and closing motor 21 is electrically connected to the control mainboard 22 through the cable 23, and receives the control signal from the control mainboard 22. The cable 23 should have good insulation performance and anti-interference ability to ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission. According to the received instructions, the control mainboard 22 sends a corresponding control signal (such as voltage, current or pulse signal, etc.) to the opening and closing motor 21, drives the motor to rotate, and thus drives the cover body 12 to move relative to the bottle body 11. When the control mainboard 22 receives the opening instruction, it sends a forward drive signal to the opening and closing motor 21, so that the motor rotates and drives the cover body 12 to move upward, thereby opening the bottle body 11. When receiving a stop or close instruction, the control mainboard 22 sends a reverse drive signal or a stop signal to the opening and closing motor 21, so that the motor stops rotating or reverses, drives the cover body 12 to move downward and seals the opening of the bottle body 11.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the lid opening component 2 also includes an infrared sensor, which is arranged close to the test paper storage bottle 1, and the infrared sensor is electrically connected to the control motherboard 22; wherein, the control motherboard 22 is also configured to control the start and stop of the opening and closing motor 21 according to the output level of the infrared sensor.

[0045] It should be noted that the infrared sensor is installed near the test paper storage bottle 1 to ensure that changes near the storage bottle can be accurately detected. The infrared sensor is connected to the control main board 22 to transmit the detection signal. The control main board 22 is configured to receive output level signals from the infrared sensor. These signals represent the environmental conditions detected by the infrared sensor. The control main board 22 has a built-in logic judgment program to determine whether to send a control signal to the opening and closing motor 21 based on the output level of the infrared sensor.

[0046] Specifically, when the infrared sensor detects that an object (such as a user's hand or a test paper taking device) is close to the test paper storage bottle 1, it will send a specific level signal to the control main board 22. After receiving this signal, the control main board 22 will send an opening signal to the opening and closing motor 21 after logical judgment to open the lid. When the object leaves the storage bottle area, the infrared sensor sends a signal to the control main board 22 again, and the control main board 22 sends a stop signal to the opening and closing motor 21 to close the lid.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the cover opening assembly 2 further includes a test paper quantity detection module electrically connected to the control main board 22 . The test paper quantity detection module is disposed on the inner wall of the opening and is used to obtain the quantity of the test paper in the bottle body 11 .

[0048] Among them, the test paper quantity detection module includes a through-beam photoelectric sensor arranged on the inner wall of the opening, so that when the test paper passes through the opening, the signal generated by the through-beam photoelectric sensor will be blocked and interrupted, thereby generating an interrupt signal and sending it to the control main board 22, so that the number of interrupt signals is equal to the number of times the test paper is discharged, so that the control main board 22 can determine the number of test papers.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the cover opening assembly 2 further includes a human-computer interaction module, which is electrically connected to the control mainboard 22 , and the human-computer interaction module is at least configured to receive instructions input by a user.

[0050] The human-computer interaction module is electrically connected to the control mainboard 22, and is responsible for receiving commands input by the user and transmitting these commands to the control mainboard 22 for processing. Through the human-computer interaction module, the user can conveniently control the opening and closing of the cover 12 of the test paper storage bottle 1, achieving more flexible and convenient operation.

[0051] Specifically, the human-computer interaction module mainly includes input devices and display devices (if necessary). Input devices can be buttons, touch screens, remote controls, etc., which are used to receive user operation instructions; display devices (such as LCD screens, LED indicators, etc.) are used to display device status information or operation prompts to users.

[0052] The human-machine interaction module and the control mainboard 22 are electrically connected (such as cables 23, buses, etc.) to perform data transmission and command exchange. The command input by the user through the input device is transmitted to the control mainboard 22, and the control mainboard 22 parses the command and controls the action of the opening and closing motor 21; at the same time, the control mainboard 22 can also transmit the status information of the device to the display device so that the user can understand the current status of the device (the number of test strips, etc.).

[0053] When the user inputs a command through the input device of the human-computer interaction module (such as pressing the "open" button), the command is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the control mainboard 22. After receiving the command, the control mainboard 22 analyzes and processes it, and controls the action of the opening and closing motor 21 according to the content of the command. The control mainboard 22 can also feed back the status information of the device (such as whether the cover 12 is open, whether the battery power is sufficient, etc.) to the user through the display device of the human-computer interaction module.

[0054] For example, when the cover 12 is successfully opened, the control mainboard 22 may send a signal to the display device to light up the LED indicator light or display the word "opened" on the LCD screen.

[0055] In addition, a speech synthesis chip and a speaker are added to the human-computer interaction module to realize the voice prompt function. When the device is in a specific state (such as low power, the cover 12 is not closed properly, etc.), a prompt can be given to the user through voice. If a touch screen is used as an input device, gesture recognition technology can also be integrated to allow the user to control the operation of the device through gestures. A remote control interface (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) is provided for the human-computer interaction module, so that the user can control and monitor the test paper storage device through remote devices such as smart phones or computers.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the cover body 12 includes a shielding portion and a sealing portion, the shielding portion has a contact surface, the sealing portion is arranged on the contact surface, the sealing portion is adapted to the opening, and when the contact surface is in contact with the top of the bottle body 11, the sealing portion extends into the opening and is sealed with the opening.

[0057] Among them, the shielding part is in direct contact with the top of the bottle body 11. It provides sufficient strength and stability to ensure that the cover body 12 can be firmly fixed on the bottle body 11. The shielding part is usually designed as a ring-shaped or disc-shaped structure with a certain thickness, and its outer edge can fit closely with the top edge of the bottle body 11. The lower surface (i.e., the abutment surface) of the shielding part is the part that directly contacts the top of the bottle body 11, and needs to have good flatness and wear resistance. The sealing part is to ensure the sealing between the cover body 12 and the bottle body 11. It fits tightly at the opening of the bottle body 11 to prevent air, moisture or other contaminants from entering the bottle. The sealing part is arranged on the abutment surface of the shielding part and extends downward until it is in close contact with the inner wall of the opening of the bottle body 11. The shape and size of the sealing part are adapted to the opening of the bottle body 11 to ensure a good sealing effect. The sealing part is usually made of soft and elastic materials, such as silicone, rubber or soft plastic. These materials can deform when subjected to pressure, thereby filling the tiny gap between the bottle body 11 and the cover body 12 and improving the sealing performance.

[0058] Furthermore, the first sealing ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sealing portion. The outer periphery of the second sealing ring is attached to the inner wall of the opening, and the outer periphery of the first sealing ring is sealed and matched with the inner periphery of the second sealing ring.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the test paper storage bottle 1 further includes a test paper holder 13, which is disposed inside the bottle body 11. The test paper holder 13 is provided with a slot adapted to the test paper, and the notch of the slot faces the opening.

[0060] In order to more conveniently manage and use the test paper, a test paper holder 13 is added inside the test paper storage bottle 1. The test paper can be placed in the bottle body 11 in an orderly manner, which is convenient for users to quickly take it out, and can effectively prevent the test paper from moving or scattering in the bottle body 11.

[0061] Specifically, the test paper holder 13 is arranged inside the bottle body 11, usually located in the middle and lower part of the bottle body 11 or adjusted appropriately according to the size and number of the test papers. It can be firmly mounted on the inner wall of the bottle body 11 by snaps, screws or other fixing methods. The test paper holder 13 is provided with a plurality of slots adapted to the test papers. The shape, size and arrangement of these slots are designed according to the specific type and usage requirements of the test papers to ensure that the test papers can be firmly placed in the slots. The notch of the slot faces the opening direction of the bottle body 11, so that the user can easily insert or remove the test paper through the opening. At the same time, the depth and width of the slot also need to be adjusted according to the thickness and width of the test paper to ensure that the test paper can be fully inserted and firmly fixed in the slot.

[0062] By adding the test paper holder 13, the test paper storage bottle 1 of this embodiment realizes orderly management and convenient access to the test paper. The slot design on the test paper holder 13 allows the test paper to be firmly placed in the bottle body 11, avoiding the problem of movement or scattering of the test paper. At the same time, the notch of the slot faces the opening direction, further improving the convenience of taking the test paper. This design not only improves the user experience, but also ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the test paper.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the test paper holder 13 is detachably disposed inside the bottle body 11 , and the test paper holder 13 is configured to be able to enter or leave the inside of the bottle body 11 through the opening.

[0064] In order to further improve the flexibility and maintainability of the test paper storage bottle 1, the test paper holder 13 is detachably arranged inside the bottle body 11. The user can easily take out or put in the test paper holder 13 from the bottle body 11 as needed, which is convenient for replacing, cleaning or adjusting the storage method of the test paper.

[0065] In practical applications, the test paper holder 13 is detachably connected to the bottle body 11. This can be achieved by snap-fitting, threaded connection or other designs suitable for quick disassembly and assembly. The test paper holder 13 should be stable and reliable during normal use, and can be easily disassembled when needed.

[0066] In addition, the size and shape of the test strip holder 13 are designed to be able to enter or leave the interior of the bottle body 11 through the opening of the bottle body 11. This means that the size and shape of the opening need to be large enough to accommodate the test strip holder 13 and the test strip thereon.

[0067] At present, some laboratories that have realized automated testing of test strips rely on robotic arms for the process of taking test strips. After receiving and placing the sample, the robotic arm needs to pick up the lid, place it in the designated area, pick up the test strip from the tank, temporarily store the test strip in the designated place, and finally pick up the lid and put it back on the tank to complete the closing of the test strip storage tank. This process requires the robotic arm to complete four steps, which is time-consuming and affects the detection efficiency. At the same time, there is a risk of reagent contamination when the tank lid and test strips are temporarily stored in a certain area, which needs to be improved.

[0068] To this end, an embodiment of the utility model further provides a test paper taking and placing system, comprising: a mechanical arm and the above-mentioned test paper storage device.

[0069] The robot arm is configured to enter the interior of the bottle body 11 through the opening to grab the test paper in the bottle body 11 when the cover body 12 is away from the bottle body 11 , and leave the interior of the bottle body 11 through the opening.

[0070] As mentioned above, the test paper storage device includes a bottle body 11, a cover body 12, a test paper holder 13 and other components. The cover body 12 can be opened and closed to expose or close the opening of the bottle body 11, and the test paper holder 13 is arranged inside the bottle body 11 for fixing and storing the test paper.

[0071] The robot arm serves as an actuator for automatically picking up and placing the test paper. It is configured to enter the interior of the bottle body 11 through the opening when the cover body 12 is away from the bottle body 11 (that is, when the cover body 12 is open), grab the test paper inside the bottle body 11, and leave the bottle body 11 from the opening.

[0072] The three-dimensional moving mechanism is the core part of the robot arm, which is responsible for controlling the movement of the robot arm in three-dimensional space. The three-dimensional moving mechanism usually includes multiple joints and drivers (such as motors, cylinders, etc.), and the precise movement of the robot arm in the three directions of X, Y, and Z is achieved by controlling the rotation or extension of these joints. The three-dimensional moving mechanism needs to be able to accurately position the end of the robot arm (i.e., the clamping mechanism) at the opening of the bottle body 11, and penetrate into the bottle body 11 to the specified position. The clamping mechanism is a component of the robot arm used to grab the test paper. The clamping mechanism usually includes two or more relatively movable jaws or suction cups, and the clamping and release of the test paper are achieved by controlling the opening and closing of these jaws or suction cups.

[0073] In the case where the test paper picking and placing system is applied to the testing workstation, the testing workstation includes a PLC controller. After the PLC controller completes the sample acceptance in the previous process, the testing workstation sends an instruction to the control main board 22 through the PLC controller. The control main board 22 controls the cover 12 of the test paper storage device to open through the cover opening component 2 to expose the opening of the bottle body 11. The control main board 22 sends an instruction to the PLC controller, and then the PLC controller controls the three-dimensional moving mechanism of the robot arm to start, move the clamping mechanism to the opening of the bottle body 11, and slowly extend it into the bottle body 11. When the clamping mechanism reaches the specified position, it controls the clamping claw or suction cup to close and clamp the test paper. After grabbing the test paper, the robot arm moves in the opposite direction, takes the test paper out of the bottle body 11, and moves it to the specified position (such as the testing area, the waste area, etc.) through the three-dimensional moving mechanism. At the specified position, the robot arm controls the clamping claw or suction cup to open and release the test paper. After the robot arm takes the test paper out of the bottle body 11 , the PLC controller sends a command to the control main board 22 to control the cover body 12 of the test paper storage device to close, thereby sealing the opening of the bottle body 11 .
