Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pneumatic pipeline logistics transmission systems and medical specimen transmission systems. Specifically, it relates to a vertical specimen path distributor. Background Art

[0002] A classification multi-pipeline transmission mechanism with the smallest volume that sorts specimens into multiple categories and then directly sends them to remote detection devices through separate pipelines is the most ideal solution for one-to-many specimen transmission. Single test tubes enter a dedicated sealed pipeline in sequence, maintaining a relative distance for transmission to prevent specimens from colliding and vibrating with each other during operation.

[0003] The specimen path distribution device is a path control device in specimen multi-classification sending equipment. Currently, synchronous belts are mostly used for path transfer and distribution, which adds a lot of structures, drive motors, and control circuits in terms of structure, greatly increasing the manufacturing cost and significantly increasing the operational instability during operation. The device of the present invention controls the path distribution of specimens in the vertical direction and uses the self-weight of the specimens for position transfer, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the equipment, reducing the input of equipment power, saving manufacturing costs, reducing the occurrence of system failures, and facilitating maintenance, effectively ensuring the safety of blood sample specimen transmission during peak hours in hospitals. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a vertical specimen path distributor to control the simultaneous sending of specimens through multiple pipelines, so as to solve the problem of low existing transmission efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objective, in a first aspect, the present application provides a vertical specimen path distributor, which is arranged between a channel structure body and a specimen classification barcode scanner, and includes a frame, a rotating tube rotatably connected to the frame at the upper part, a driving device for driving the rotating tube to rotate, and a blocking structure arranged at the lower part of the rotating tube;

[0006] A plurality of specimen channels are opened on the channel structure body, and the specimen channels are distributed on a circumference centered on the rotation center of the rotating tube;

[0007] When the rotating tube is in the initial position, the rotating tube is aligned with the specimen slideway of the specimen classification barcode scanner, and the specimen slideway is inclined.

[0008] Further improved, the driving device includes a rotating tube driver arranged on the frame.

[0009] Further improved, the driving device further includes a driving force arm rotatably connected to the frame, the rotating tube is fixedly arranged on the driving force arm, and the driving shaft of the rotating tube driver is connected to the driving force arm.

[0011] Further improvement is that the blocking structure includes a cylinder block disposed on the driving force arm and a damping head fixedly disposed on the cylinder rod of the cylinder block, and a through hole for the damping head to pass through is formed in the lower portion of the rotary tube.

[0012] Further improvement is that the damping head is a rubber damping head.

[0013] Further improvement is that a limiting structure is further disposed on the frame, and the limiting structure is an origin stopper fixedly disposed on the frame. When the rotary tube faces the specimen slideway, the driving force arm abuts against the origin stopper.

[0014] Further improvement is that a recovery channel is further included. When the rotary tube faces the specimen slideway, the lower portion of the rotary tube faces the recovery channel.

[0015] Further improvement is that the limiting structure further includes a detection element, and the origin stopper is inserted into the detection element.

[0016] A vertical specimen path distributor provided by the present utility model, compared with the prior art, has the beneficial effects that it is a path control device in a specimen multi-classification sending device. The device controls the specimen path distribution in the vertical direction and uses the self-weight of the specimen for position transfer, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the device, reducing the input of device power, saving the manufacturing cost, reducing the occurrence of system failures, and facilitating maintenance, effectively ensuring the safety of blood sample specimen transmission during peak hours in hospitals.

[0027] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, a vertical specimen path distributor 70 is provided between a channel structure 73 and a specimen classification and bar code scanner 60, and includes a frame, a rotating tube 71 rotatably connected to the upper part of the frame, a driving device for driving the rotating tube 71 to rotate, and a blocking structure provided at the lower part of the rotating tube 71;

[0028] A plurality of specimen channels 75 are formed on the channel structure 73, and the specimen channels 75 are distributed on a circumference centered on the rotation center of the rotating tube 71;

[0029] When the rotating tube 71 is in the initial position, the rotating tube 71 faces the specimen slideway of the specimen classification and bar code scanner, and the specimen slideway is inclined.

[0030] Preferably, the driving device includes a rotating tube driver 76 provided on the frame. Specifically, the driving device further includes a driving force arm 72 rotatably connected to the frame. The rotating tube 71 is fixedly provided on the driving force arm 72. The driving shaft of the rotating tube driver 76 is connected to the driving force arm 72, and the rotating tube driver 76 is a driving motor.

[0031] Preferably, the blocking structure includes a cylinder body 77 provided on the driving force arm 72 and a damping head fixedly provided on a cylinder rod 771 of the cylinder body 77. A through hole for the damping head to pass through is formed in the lower part of the rotating tube 71, and the damping head is a rubber damping head 772.

[0032] Preferably, a limiting structure is further provided on the frame. The limiting structure is an origin stop block 791 fixedly provided on the frame. When the rotating tube 71 faces the specimen slideway, the driving force arm 72 abuts against the origin stop block 791.

[0033] In order to be able to recycle unqualified specimens, a recycling channel 78 is further included. When the rotating tube 71 faces the specimen slideway, the lower part of the rotating tube 71 faces the recycling channel 78.

[0034] The limiting structure further includes a detection element 79, and the origin stop block 791 is inserted into the detection element 79.

[0035] The reverse side of the rotating tube 71 and the driving force arm 72 are fixed together by standard parts. The cavity faces outward to the specimen chute of the specimen classification and scanning device. The rotating shaft position designed above the driving force arm 72 of the rotating tube 71 is docked with the motor shaft of the rotating tube driver 76. The cylinder block 77 is fixed below the driving force arm 72. A rubber damping head 772 is installed on the head of the cylinder rod 771. When the cylinder rod 771 extends, the rubber damping head 772 can prevent the specimen A in the rotating tube 71 from sliding down into the specimen channel 75. When the cylinder rod 771 contracts, the rubber damping head 772 withdraws from the rotating tube 71, and the specimen A slides out of the rotating tube 71 into the specimen channel 75 by its own weight.

[0036] An origin stopper 791 is installed below the driving force arm 72 of the rotating tube 71. The origin stopper 791 is installed on the side below the driving force arm 72. When the rotating tube 71 rotates to the origin position, the origin stopper 791 is inserted into the middle groove of the detection element 79.

[0037] The specimen channel 75 is designed with a combined structure. The channel structure body 73 is a multi-ribbed grid and is fixed and positioned by channel structure bolts 730. The rotation radius of the rotating tube 71 is smaller than the circumferential radius of the inner arc 74 of the channel. Except for the central specimen channel 75 which is vertical in shape, the channel inlets 751 on both sides are in the shape of an inner arc and outward diffusion. The specimens slide into the specimen channel 75 by their own weight. The channel outlets 752 are arranged vertically at equal intervals. The diameter of the channel outlets 752 is larger than the maximum diameter of the specimen A. The specimen A starts to enter the non-vertical specimen classification and sending channel from the channel outlet 752. Another recovery channel 78 is designed in the specimen channel 75. The recovery channel 78 is designed at the outermost origin position. The recovery channel 78 is the recovery path after the specimen A fails to be scanned.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
