[0039] Since the present utility model is provided with a recycling bin and a grasping component, the recycling bin is used to place reagent bottles, and the grasping component is used to grasp the empty reagent bottles or mis-placed reagent bottles on the reagent tray into the recycling bin, so as to vacate the positions for placing reagent bottles on the reagent tray, facilitating the replenishment of the required reagent bottles onto the reagent tray. The recycled reagent bottles are placed in the recycling bin, which is convenient for manual screening of the reagent bottles recycled in the recycling bin and reusing the available reagent bottles, thus avoiding waste of reagents.

[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] This embodiment provides a reagent bottle recycling device 100, including: at least one base 110 disposed on the analyzer and a recycling bin 120 movably disposed on each base 110, with at least one recycling position 121 provided in the recycling bin 120; and

[0042] A gripping assembly 130 for gripping the reagent bottle from the reagent tray 140 to the recycling position 121.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base 110 is disposed on the analyzer, and the recycling bin 120 is disposed on the base 110. The recycling bin 120 is used to place the recycled reagent bottles, and the base 110 provides support for the recycling bin 120 and a connection with the analyzer. At least one recycling position 121 is provided in the recycling bin 120, and one recycling position 121 corresponds to placing one reagent bottle. Usually, multiple recycling positions 121 are provided in one recycling bin 120. The gripping assembly 130 can move between the reagent tray 140 and the recycling position 121, and is used to grip the reagent bottle from the reagent tray 140 and move the gripped reagent bottle to the recycling position 121 and place it on the recycling position 121. The gripping assembly 130 can specifically be a manipulator or other movable gripping mechanisms or devices.

[0044] One or more bases 110 can be provided on the analyzer, that is, one or more recycling bins 120 can be provided, and the specific number is set according to actual usage requirements.

[0045] Due to the provision of the recycling bin 120 and the gripping assembly 130, the recycling bin 120 is used to place the reagent bottles, and the gripping assembly 130 is used to grip the empty reagent bottles or misplaced reagent bottles on the reagent tray 140 to the recycling bin 120, freeing up the position on the reagent tray 140 for placing reagent bottles, facilitating the replenishment of the required reagent bottles onto the reagent tray 140. The recycled reagent bottles are placed in the recycling bin 120, which is convenient for manual screening of the recycled reagent bottles in the recycling bin 120, and the available reagent bottles can be reused, without causing waste of reagents.

[0046] Embodiment Two

[0047] Based on Embodiment One, a plurality of recycling positions 121 are arranged side by side in the recycling bin 120.

[0048] The multiple recycling positions 121 are arranged side by side in a compact manner, and the reagent bottles in the recycling bin 120 can be placed in sequence, facilitating the planning of the path for the gripping assembly 130 to grip and place the reagent bottles.

[0049] Embodiment Three

[0050] Based on Embodiment One, the recycling bin 120 further includes a drawer tray 122, and the recycling position 121 is provided on the drawer tray 122;

[0051] The drawer tray 122 is slidably connected to the base 110 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the recovery position 121 is set on the pull-out tray 122, and the pull-out tray 122 is slidably connected to the base 110. The base 110 is fixedly set on the analyzer. The pull-out tray 122 can slide relative to the base 110 and be pulled out of the base 110, so as to facilitate the removal of the reagent bottle placed on the recovery position 121.

[0053] Specifically, the pull-out tray 122 and the base 110 may be slidably connected by providing a sliding device (such as a slide rail, a pulley, etc.), or the pull-out tray 122 and the base 110 may be in direct contact, and friction sliding may occur.

[0054] In one embodiment, a handle 123 is provided on the pull-out tray 122, and the gripping direction of the handle 123 is consistent with the sliding direction of the pull-out tray 122, so that a person can grip the pull-out tray 122 to pull it out. The handle 123 can be a recessed or protruding handle 123, which is not limited here.

[0055] Embodiment 4

[0056] On the basis of the third embodiment, an anti-escape structure is provided on the base 110 to prevent the pull-out tray 122 from falling out.

[0057] The pull-out tray 122 is slidably connected to the base 110, and an anti-slip structure is provided on the base 110 to prevent the pull-out tray 122 from being completely separated from the base 110, and to prevent the pull-out tray 122 from tipping over due to the pull-out tray 122 suddenly slipping out of the base 110. Specifically, the anti-slip mechanism may be a position-limiting convex, a magnetic attraction mechanism, a position-limiting pull rope, or other common anti-slip structures.

[0058] Embodiment 5

[0059] On the basis of the third embodiment, a first positioning component is provided on the pull-out tray 122;

[0060] A second positioning component is disposed on the base 110;

[0061] When the drawer tray 122 is installed in place on the base 110 , the first positioning component and the second positioning component form a constrained connection.

[0062] Constrained connection refers to the mutually constrained and limited connection relationship between objects. When the constrained connection is established, the relative position relationship between the objects will not change without external interference. After the constraint connection is released, the relative position relationship can change. For example, when the buckle is buckled into the buckle, the constraint connection between the buckle and the buckle is established; for another example, when the positive and negative poles of a magnet are attracted together, the constraint connection between the positive and negative poles is established.

[0063] Since the path for the grasping component 130 to grasp and place is preset, if the drawer tray 122 and the base 110 are not installed in place, it will cause the grasping component 130 to be unable to accurately place the reagent bottle on the recycling position 121 when placing the reagent bottle, which may cause the reagent bottle to tip over. The first in-place component is arranged on the drawer tray 122, and the second in-place component is arranged on the base 110. When the first in-place component and the second in-place component form a constrained connection, it indicates that the drawer tray 122 is installed in place on the base 110, and the placement position of the grasping component 130 for placing the reagent bottle is aligned with the recycling position 121. At the same time, after the constrained connection is established, there is no relative displacement between the drawer tray 122 and the base 110.

[0064] In one embodiment, a sensing device is arranged on the first in-place component and / or the second in-place component. When the constrained connection between the first in-place component and the second in-place component is disconnected, the sensing device emits a signal to control the analyzer from being powered on.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first in-place component is a first magnetic attraction component, and the second in-place component is a second magnetic attraction component that magnetically cooperates with the first magnetic attraction component.

[0066] The first magnetic attraction component is arranged on the drawer tray 122, and the second magnetic attraction component is arranged on the base 110, and the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component are arranged opposite to each other, and the magnetic poles of the opposite sides of the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component are opposite. Specifically, it can be that when the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component are attracted together, the drawer tray 122 is installed in place on the base 110; it can also be that a limiting block is arranged on the base 110, and the first magnetic attraction component approaches the second magnetic attraction component under the action of magnetic force until it is blocked by the limiting block, and the drawer tray 122 is installed in place on the base 110.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first in-place component and the second in-place component are a buckle and a clasp respectively.

[0068] The buckle (clasp) is arranged on the drawer tray 122, and the clasp (buckle) is arranged on the base 110. The buckle (clasp) and the clasp (buckle) are arranged opposite to each other on both sides in the buckling direction. The buckle (clasp) approaches or moves away from the clasp (buckle) following the movement of the drawer tray 122. When the buckle and the clasp are buckled, the drawer tray 122 is installed in place on the base 110.

[0069] Embodiment Six

[0070] Based on Embodiment One, a plurality of reagent positions are circumferentially arranged on the reagent tray 140;

[0071] The recycling bin 120 is arranged above the reagent tray 140, and a plurality of recycling positions 121 are arranged in the recycling bin 120, and at least one of the recycling positions 121 is a sample placement position;

[0072] The reagent recovery device further includes a sampling position, which is arranged side by side with the sample placing position and is opposite to a target reagent position on the reagent tray 140.

[0073] The grasping assembly 130 includes: a horizontal track 131, a vertical track 132, and a grasping assembly 130 for grasping the reagent bottle on the reagent tray 140 to the sample placing position. The grasping assembly 130 is arranged on the vertical track 132 and moves along the vertical track 132, and the vertical track 132 is arranged on the horizontal track 131 and moves along the horizontal track 131.

[0074] The horizontal track 131 extends along the arrangement direction of the sample placing position and the sampling position, and the horizontal track 131 passes through the sample placing position and the sampling position.

[0075] The reagent tray 140 is used to hold the reagent bottles for detection. Usually, the reagent tray 140 is in a disc shape, which is convenient for the reagent tray 140 to rotate around the axis without affecting the equipment or structure outside the reagent tray 140. A plurality of reagent positions are circumferentially arranged on the reagent tray 140, and one reagent bottle can be correspondingly placed in one reagent position.

[0076] The recovery bin 120 is arranged above the reagent tray 140. At least one of the recovery positions 121 in the recovery bin 120 is a sample placing position. The grasping mechanism 133 takes out the reagent bottle to be replaced from the reagent tray 140 and places it on the sample placing position. A sampling position is arranged side by side with the sample placing position and is opposite to a target reagent position on the reagent tray 140. The target reagent position is the position on the reagent tray 140 where the reagent bottle needs to be taken away. As the reagent tray 140 rotates, the target reagent position can correspond to different reagent positions, and the relative position between the target reagent position and the recovery bin 120 is always fixed. One sampling position corresponds to one target reagent position.

[0077] The grasping assembly 130 is used to place the reagent bottle to be replaced onto the reagent tray 140. The grasping assembly 130 includes a horizontal track 131, a vertical track 132, and a grasping mechanism 133. The grasping mechanism 133 is used to grasp or release the reagent bottle. When the grasping mechanism 133 clamps the reagent bottle, the reagent bottle moves with the grasping mechanism 133. The grasping mechanism 133 is slidably connected to the vertical track 132 and slides vertically along the vertical track 132, and the vertical track 132 is slidably connected to the horizontal track 131 and slides horizontally along the horizontal track 131. The grasping mechanism 133 can drive the reagent bottle to move in two directions: horizontally and vertically. The grasping assembly 130 can specifically be a clamping jaw, a suction cup, etc.

[0078] The extending direction of the horizontal track 131 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the sample placing position and the sampling position, and the horizontal track 131 passes through the sample placing position and the sampling position to ensure that the grasping assembly 130 can pass through the sample placing position and the sampling position.

[0079] During use, the grasping mechanism 133 grasps the reagent bottle to be replaced from the target reagent position of the reagent tray 140 at the sampling position, moves along the vertical track 132, takes out the supplementary reagent bottle from the sample placement position, and then the vertical track 132 moves along the horizontal track 131, driving the grasping assembly 130 to move to the sample placement position. Subsequently, the grasping assembly 130 moves along the vertical track 132, places the reagent bottle to be replaced at the recycling position 121 of the recycling bin 120, and completes the replenishment of the reagent bottle.

[0080] In this embodiment, since the recycling bin 120 is arranged above the reagent tray 140, the distance between the recycling bin 120 and the reagent tray 140 is short, saving the time required for placing the reagent bottle. Moreover, the grasping assembly 130 can complete the grasping and placement of the reagent bottle by making horizontal and vertical movements under the limitation of the horizontal track 131 and the vertical track 132. The structure is simple, the movement trajectory is concise, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost, reducing the equipment failure rate, and improving the efficiency of reagent replenishment.

[0081] In one embodiment, a grasping part adapted to the bottle body of the reagent bottle is arranged on the grasping assembly 130, which is convenient for clamping the bottle body of the reagent bottle. Grasp the bottle body to avoid contacting the bottle mouth position of the reagent bottle and avoid contaminating the reagent.

[0083] On the basis of Embodiment One, a receiving groove for accommodating the reagent bottle is arranged at the recycling position 121, and the inner wall of the receiving groove is adapted to the outer wall of the reagent bottle.

[0084] The receiving groove is adapted to the outer wall of the reagent bottle, and the reagent bottle is placed in the receiving groove more stably, not prone to shaking, and even less likely to tip over.

[0085] In one embodiment, the receiving groove is detachably connected to the drawer tray 122. This facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the receiving groove on the drawer tray 122.

[0086] Embodiment Eight

[0087] This embodiment further includes an analyzer 200, which includes the reagent bottle recycling device 100 according to any one of Embodiments One to Seven.

[0088] The other implementation manners and beneficial effects of the analyzer 200 in this embodiment are equivalent to the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned reagent bottle recycling device 100, and will not be elaborated here.

[0089] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
