Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of centrifuge tube production equipment, and particularly to a centrifuge tube feeding and conveying anti-blocking device and centrifuge tube production equipment. Background Art

[0002] It has been widely used in the field of bioscience, especially in the research fields of biochemistry and molecular biology. Each biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory needs to prepare various types of centrifuges. When in use, centrifuge tubes can be set on the centrifuge, and the solution in the centrifuge tubes is centrifuged and prepared by the centrifuge. The solution is suspended in the centrifuge tube. Under the action of huge centrifugal force during the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge tube, the tiny particles suspended in the solution settle at a certain speed, thus separating from the solution.

[0003] Most of the centrifuge tubes used in the laboratory analysis process are of standard styles, mainly cylindrical tube bodies and centrifuge tube caps that match the tube bodies. During centrifugation, the material to be centrifuged is loaded into the centrifuge tube, the centrifuge tube cap is covered, and it is placed in the centrifugation equipment for centrifugation operation, thereby achieving the separation process of the material. Based on the cylindrical tube body structure of the centrifuge tube, in the production and transmission process of the centrifuge tube, the traditional conveyor belt uses a streamline channel for transmission, that is, a channel is formed on the conveyor belt with baffles. However, when the centrifuge tubes are continuously transmitted, it is easy to cause congestion in the channel on the conveyor belt, resulting in the obstruction of the centrifuge tube transmission. Seriously, it will lead to the stop of the transmission line. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present disclosure relates to a centrifuge tube feeding and transmission anti-blocking device. In one embodiment, the centrifuge tube feeding and transmission anti-blocking device includes a centrifuge tube transmission component and a centrifuge tube anti-blocking component; the centrifuge tube transmission component includes a centrifuge tube conveyor belt and a transmission bracket, the centrifuge tube conveyor belt is arranged on the transmission bracket, and the centrifuge tube conveyor belt has a transmission channel, and the transmission channel is used to transmit centrifuge tubes; the centrifuge tube anti-blocking component includes a first sliding tube pusher and a second sliding tube pusher that are relatively arranged, the first sliding tube pusher and the second sliding tube pusher are both movably arranged on the transmission bracket, a tube pusher channel is formed between the first sliding tube pusher and the second sliding tube pusher, and the tube pusher channel is connected to the transmission channel, wherein at least one of the first sliding tube pusher and the second sliding tube pusher is used to push a plurality of centrifuge tubes that are blocked in the tube pusher channel.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , which is a structural schematic diagram of a centrifuge tube feeding and transmission anti-blocking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0027] A centrifuge tube feeding transmission anti-blocking device 100 of one embodiment includes a centrifuge tube transmission component 110 and a centrifuge tube anti-blocking component 120. The centrifuge tube transmission component 110 includes a centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112 and a transmission bracket 114. The centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112 is arranged on the transmission bracket 114. The centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112 has a transmission channel, and the transmission channel is used to transmit centrifuge tubes. The centrifuge tube anti-blocking component 120 includes a first sliding tube pusher 122 and a second sliding tube pusher 124 arranged opposite to each other. The first sliding tube pusher 122 and the second sliding tube pusher 124 are both movably arranged on the transmission bracket 114. A tube pusher channel is formed between the first sliding tube pusher 122 and the second sliding tube pusher 124, and the tube pusher channel is connected to the transmission channel. Among them, at least one of the first sliding tube pusher 122 and the second sliding tube pusher 124 is used to push a plurality of centrifuge tubes that are blocked in the tube pusher channel.

[0028] In this embodiment, the centrifuge tubes are transmitted in the transmission channel. When multiple centrifuge tubes are blocked, the first sliding tube pusher 122 and the second sliding tube pusher 124 are both facing the tube pushing channel to push out some of the centrifuge tubes in the tube pushing channel, thereby reducing the number of centrifuge tubes in the tube pushing channel, thereby increasing the distance between the centrifuge tubes in the transmission channel, and further reducing the probability of blockage of the centrifuge tubes in the transmission channel, thereby preventing the transmission of the centrifuge tubes in the transmission channel from being blocked.

[0029] In one embodiment, the push tube channel and the transmission channel at least partially overlap. In this embodiment, the push tube channel and the transmission channel are interconnected, and centrifuge tubes are transmitted in the push tube channel and the transmission channel, and the push tube channel is directly opposite to the first sliding push tube member and the second sliding push tube member. Part of the push tube channel overlaps with the transmission channel, so that the push tube channel and the transmission channel have a common transmission part. When the centrifuge tubes are blocked in the push tube channel or the transmission channel, only part of the centrifuge tubes in the push tube channel need to be pushed out, so that the spacing between the centrifuge tubes on the centrifuge tube conveyor belt can be increased to reduce the blockage of the centrifuge tubes during the transmission process.

[0030] Furthermore, the push tube channel is located in the transmission channel. Specifically, the push tube channel completely overlaps with the transmission channel. At this time, the push tube channel is a part of the transmission channel. When the centrifuge tube passes through the push tube channel, the centrifuge tube is also transmitted in the transmission channel. When the centrifuge tube is blocked, the first sliding push tube member and the second sliding push tube member push out the centrifuge tube in the push tube channel to increase the spacing between the centrifuge tubes at other positions in the transmission channel, so that the probability of blockage of the centrifuge tube is further reduced.

[0031] In one of the embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , the first sliding push tube member 122 includes a first push tube cylinder 1222 and a first push tube plate 1224. The first push tube cylinder 1222 is connected to the transfer bracket 114. The output end of the first push tube cylinder 1222 is connected to the first push tube plate 1224. The first push tube plate 1224 is used to push the centrifuge tube in the push tube channel. In this embodiment, the first push tube cylinder 1222 is disposed on the transfer bracket 114. Specifically, the first push tube cylinder 1222 is located on one side of the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112. The first push tube plate 1224 moves under the drive of the first push tube cylinder 1222. When the centrifuge tubes on the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112 are blocked, the first push tube plate 1224 faces the push tube channel. For example, the output end of the first push tube cylinder 1222 drives the first push tube plate 1224 to enter and exit the push tube channel, facilitating the first push tube plate 1224 to push some centrifuge tubes away from the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112, so as to increase the spacing between the centrifuge tubes in the transfer channel, thereby reducing the probability of material blockage.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , the second sliding push tube member 124 includes a second push tube cylinder 1242 and a second push tube plate 1244. The second push tube cylinder 1242 is connected to the transfer bracket 114. The output end of the second push tube cylinder 1242 is connected to the second push tube plate 1244. The second push tube plate 1244 is disposed opposite to the first push tube plate 1224. A push tube channel is formed between the second push tube plate 1244 and the first push tube plate 1224. In this embodiment, the second push tube cylinder 1242 is disposed on the transfer bracket 114. Specifically, the second push tube cylinder 1242 is located on one side of the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112, and the second push tube cylinder 1242 is disposed opposite to the first push tube cylinder 1222. The second push tube plate 1244 moves under the drive of the second push tube cylinder 1242. When the centrifuge tubes on the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112 are blocked, both the first push tube plate 1224 and the second push tube plate 1244 face the push tube channel. For example, the output end of the first push tube cylinder 1222 drives the first push tube plate 1224 to enter and exit the push tube channel, and the output end of the second push tube cylinder 1242 drives the second push tube plate 1244 to enter and exit the push tube channel, facilitating the first push tube plate 1224 and the second push tube plate 1244 to jointly clamp the centrifuge tube, so as to facilitate pushing some centrifuge tubes away from the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112, so as to increase the spacing between the centrifuge tubes in the transfer channel, thereby further reducing the probability of material blockage.

[0033] In another embodiment, the second push tube plate 1244 and the first push tube plate 1224 are flush with both sides of the transmission channel respectively. Specifically, the space between the second push tube plate 1244 and the first push tube plate 1224 is the push tube channel. Moreover, the ends of the second push tube plate 1244 and the first push tube plate 1224 are docked with the ends of the transmission channel, so that the second push tube plate 1244 and the first push tube plate 1224 are jointly embedded in the transmission channel.

[0034] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the centrifugal tube feeding and transmission anti-blocking device 100 further includes a blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130. The blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 is arranged on the transmission bracket 114. The blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 is located on one side of the transmission channel. The blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 is used for transmitting the centrifugal tubes ejected from the transmission channel. In this embodiment, the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 is arranged on the side of the centrifugal tube conveyor belt 112. Moreover, the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 faces the push tube channel, so that the starting end of the transmission of the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130 faces the push tube channel. After the centrifugal tube in the push tube channel is ejected, the centrifugal tube is pushed onto the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130, which is convenient for recovering the centrifugal tubes in the push tube channel through the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , the centrifugal tube feeding and transmission anti-blocking device 100 further includes a recovery sliding plate 140. One end of the recovery sliding plate 140 corresponds to the side of the transmission channel, and the other end of the recovery sliding plate 140 is located on the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130. In this embodiment, the recovery sliding plate 140 is located between the centrifugal tube conveyor belt 112 and the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130. The recovery sliding plate 140 is inclined. Specifically, the end of the recovery sliding plate 140 close to the centrifugal tube conveyor belt 112 is higher than the end of the recovery sliding plate 140 close to the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130, which is convenient for quickly pouring the centrifugal tubes ejected from the push tube channel onto the blocked tube recovery conveyor belt 130.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3, the centrifuge tube feeding and conveying anti-blocking device 100 further includes a dust cover 150. The dust cover 150 includes a cover body 152, an anti-blocking observation plate 154, and a handle 156. The cover body 152 is connected to the conveying support 114. The cover body 152 covers the pushing tube channel. The cover body 152 is provided with an observation hole 102. The anti-blocking observation plate 154 is clamped in the observation hole 102. The handle 156 is connected to a side of the anti-blocking observation plate 154 facing away from the centrifuge tube conveyor belt 112. In this embodiment, the cover body 152 corresponds to the pushing tube channel, and the cover body 152 covers the area above the pushing tube channel to reduce the dust falling into the pushing tube channel. The anti-blocking observation plate 154 is located in the observation hole 102. The anti-blocking observation plate 154 is taken out of the observation hole 102 through the handle 156, which is convenient for observing the conveying situation of the centrifuge tubes in the pushing tube channel through the observation hole 102, so as to facilitate determining whether the centrifuge tubes in the pushing tube channel are pushed out when blocked.

[0037] In one embodiment, the present disclosure also relates to a centrifuge tube production device, including the centrifuge tube feeding and conveying anti-blocking device described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the centrifuge tube feeding and conveying anti-blocking device includes a centrifuge tube conveying assembly and a centrifuge tube anti-blocking assembly; the centrifuge tube conveying assembly includes a centrifuge tube conveyor belt and a conveying support. The centrifuge tube conveyor belt is arranged on the conveying support. The centrifuge tube conveyor belt has a conveying channel for conveying centrifuge tubes; the centrifuge tube anti-blocking assembly includes a first sliding pushing member and a second sliding pushing member arranged opposite to each other. The first sliding pushing member and the second sliding pushing member are both movably arranged on the conveying support. A pushing tube channel is formed between the first sliding pushing member and the second sliding pushing member. The pushing tube channel is communicated with the conveying channel. Among them, at least one of the first sliding pushing member and the second sliding pushing member is used to push a plurality of blocked centrifuge tubes in the pushing tube channel. The centrifuge tubes are conveyed in the conveying channel. When a plurality of centrifuge tubes are blocked, the first sliding pushing member and the second sliding pushing member are both facing the pushing tube channel, and part of the centrifuge tubes in the pushing tube channel are pushed out, so that the number of centrifuge tubes in the pushing tube channel is reduced, thereby increasing the distance between the centrifuge tubes in the conveying channel, and further reducing the probability of blockage of the centrifuge tubes in the conveying channel, achieving the effect of preventing blockage of the centrifuge tubes in the conveying channel.
