In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that there is an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after it. If the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "multiple" appears, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, four, five, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4A test tube transport rack device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a support base 10, a transport bracket 20, and an anti-static assembly. The transport bracket 20 is disposed on the support base 10 and includes a bracket body 21. The bracket body 21 is made of a conductive material and has a test tube slot 211. The anti-static assembly includes a first conductive member 31, which is disposed on the support base 10 and is configured to be electrically connected to the bracket body 21.

[0040] The test tube transport rack device 100 is used to hold test tubes (not shown) and transport them via a transport bracket 20. The transport bracket 20 is detachably mounted on the support base 10. The test tube slots 211 of the bracket body 21 are used to accommodate test tubes, allowing them to be transported, stored, and stored along with the transport bracket 20. Test tubes include not only glass test tube containers in the narrow sense (such as ordinary test tubes, supported test tubes, centrifuge test tubes, etc.), but also other containers capable of holding samples to be tested, and materials such as plastic are not specifically limited herein.

[0041] In addition, the test tube conveyor rack device 100 may include at least two conveyor racks 20, each conveyor rack 20 can independently hold a test tube, and each conveyor rack 20 may have at least two test tube slots 211, and all test tube slots 211 can be arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the conveyor rack 20.

[0042] The first conductive member 31 is electrically connected to the support body 21 and can conduct static electricity carried by the support body 21 and the test tube to the outside, for example, to the support base plate 10 and further to ground, thereby achieving the purpose of static electricity removal.

[0043] In the test tube transport rack device 100, the holder body 21 is made of a conductive material, and the first conductive member 31 is used to conduct static electricity between the holder body 21 and the test tube. This effectively controls static electricity accumulation and reduces damage to electronic components caused by static electricity. Furthermore, static electricity removal helps reduce adhesion and accumulation between samples and test tubes, between test tubes and the holder body 21, and between test tubes, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the test tube transport rack device 100.

[0044] Please also refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the supporting base plate 10 has a sliding guide structure 11, and the conveying bracket 20 has a sliding fitting structure 23 that slides with the sliding guide structure 11. The conveying bracket 20 is slidably installed on the supporting base plate 10 through the sliding fitting structure 23.

[0045] One of the sliding guide structure 11 and the sliding mating structure 23 can be a chute, and the other can be a slide bar. The longitudinal directions of the two structures are aligned, and the slide bar can slide within the chute along its longitudinal direction. Specifically, the sliding guide structure 11 can be a chute, and the sliding mating structure 23 can be a slide bar. Both structures are contoured, with the inner contour of the chute being substantially the same as the outer contour of the slide bar. The slide bar can be constructed at the bottom of the conveying bracket 20. The chute has an entrance end. The conveying bracket 20 is aligned with the entrance end of the chute via the slide bar, and moves along the longitudinal directions of both structures, causing the slide bar to slide along the chute, thereby achieving sliding of the conveying bracket 20 relative to the supporting base plate 10.

[0046] In this way, the transport bracket 20 can be installed on the support base plate 10 by sliding fit and be stably supported by it. In particular, when the test tube transport rack device 100 includes multiple transport brackets 20, all transport brackets 20 can be slidably installed on the same support base plate 10 in a parallel manner without interfering with each other.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first conductive member 31 is embedded in the surface of the support base 10 facing the conveying bracket 20 and is configured to be conductively connected to the bracket body 21 when the conveying bracket 20 is in a set position.

[0048] In other words, when the conveying bracket 20 slides to the set position on the supporting base 10 and is installed in place, the first conductive member 31 is conductively connected to the bracket body 21. The surface of the supporting base 10 facing the conveying bracket 20 may have a first groove for mounting the first conductive member 31.

[0049] In this way, the operator only needs to push the conveying bracket 20 into place to complete the installation, and the first conductive member 31 will be synchronously conductively connected to the bracket body 21 to achieve static electricity removal without the need for additional operations.

[0050] In some embodiments, the transport bracket 20 further includes a base 22, on which the bracket body 21 is mounted. The static elimination assembly further includes a second conductive member 33, which is embedded in the surface of the base 22 facing the support base 10 and electrically connected to the bracket body 21. When the transport bracket 20 is in a set position, the second conductive member 33 contacts the first conductive member 31.

[0051] It can be understood that the first conductive member 31 is embedded in the surface of the support base 10 facing the conveying bracket 20, which means that the first conductive member 31 can be exposed on the surface of the support base 10 facing the conveying bracket 20, and the second conductive member 33 is embedded in the surface of the base 22 facing the support base 10, which means that the second conductive member 33 can be exposed on the surface of the base 22 facing the support base 10. When the conveying bracket 20 is in the set position, the exposed areas of the two at least partially overlap and form contact with each other, forming a conductive connection. The surface of the base 22 facing the support base 10 may have a second groove, which is used to mount the first conductive member 31.

[0052] In this way, the operator only needs to push the delivery bracket 20 into place and install it, and the bracket body 21 can form an electrical connection with the first conductive member 31 through the second conductive member 33 that contacts the first conductive member 31.

[0053] Furthermore, the first conductive member 31 is an elastic member and abuts the second conductive member 33 when the conveying bracket 20 slides to the set position; and / or the second conductive member 33 is an elastic member and abuts the first conductive member 31 when the conveying bracket 20 slides to the set position.

[0054] In other words, at least one of the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 33 is an elastic member, wherein the elastic member can be but is not limited to a metal spring, a metal spring, etc., and one of the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 33 as an elastic member can abut against the other through its own elastic force.

[0055] In this way, after the delivery bracket 20 is installed in place, the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 33 can be in close contact with each other by means of elastic force, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the two.

[0056] Furthermore, the transport bracket 20 is moved along the first direction (corresponding to Figure 1 The first conductive member 31 is a conductive spring with one end in the first direction being fixed and the other end being free. The fixed end is connected to the support base 10. In the first direction, the first conductive member 31 is arranged in an upward slope. The fixed end can be fixed to the support base 10 via screws.

[0057] The direction in which the conveying bracket 20 slides from the entrance end of the sliding guide structure 11 to the set position is the first direction, that is, the conveying bracket 20 is installed in place by sliding to the set position along the first direction.

[0058] It can be understood that the free end of the first conductive member 31 can move through the elastic deformation of the first conductive member 31, and is further away from the entrance end of the sliding guide structure 11 than the fixed end. The first conductive member 31 is at least partially tilted, and its free end is higher than the fixed end.

[0059] In this way, the first conductive member 31 forms an inclined guide surface. As the conveyor bracket 20 slides, the conveyor bracket 20 gradually contacts the first conductive member 31, pressing down on the first conductive member 31 and causing it to elastically deform. Under the action of the elastic force, the first conductive member 31 presses against the conveyor bracket 20 until it slides until it contacts the second conductive member 33.

[0060] In some embodiments, the transport bracket 20 further includes a connector 28, which is made of a conductive material and extends from the side of the base bracket 22 facing the support base 10 to the side of the base bracket 22 facing away from the support base 10. The bracket body 21 is connected to the side of the base bracket 22 facing away from the support base 10 via the connector 28, and the second conductive member 33 contacts the connector 28 on the side of the base bracket 22 facing the support base 10.

[0061] Specifically, the connecting member 28 passes through the second conductive member 33 and fixes it to the bottom of the base 22 . The connecting member 28 may be, but is not limited to, a screw, a rivet, or the like.

[0062] In this way, the connecting member 28 fixes the bracket body 21 and also electrically connects the bracket body 21 located above the base 22 and the second conductive member 33 located below the base 22 .

[0063] In some embodiments, each delivery bracket 20 includes at least two sets of bracket bodies 21 , and all bracket bodies 21 are disposed on the base 22 along the longitudinal direction of the delivery bracket 20 .

[0064] In this way, the length of a single bracket body 21 can be reduced, which helps to reduce the strength requirement and manufacturing difficulty of the single bracket body 21.

[0065] Furthermore, all the support bodies 21 of each transport support 20 are connected to the base 22 via connectors 28. The static electricity removal assembly further includes a third conductive member 35, which is in contact with the connectors 28 connecting two adjacent groups of support bodies 21.

[0066] Specifically, the connecting member 28 passes through the third conductive member 35 and is fixed to the bottom of the base 22 . The bottom of the base 22 may form a third groove for mounting the third conductive member 35 .

[0067] In this way, the third conductive element 35 connects all the bracket bodies 21 in series, and enables the bracket bodies 21 farther from the first conductive element 31 to be electrically connected to the first conductive element 31 through the remaining bracket bodies 21 .

[0068] The above-mentioned test tube conveying rack device 100 has a plurality of conveying brackets 20 for conveying test tubes, and all the conveying brackets 20 are independently slidably installed on the support base plate 10 through a sliding fitting structure 23. The conveying bracket 20 has a base 22, and at least two groups of bracket bodies 21 are provided on the base 22. The bracket bodies 21 are made of conductive material and are connected to the base 22 through conductive connectors 28. There is a first conductive member 31 on the support base plate 10. In the first direction, the first conductive member 31 is configured to be arranged with an upward slope. During the sliding process of the conveying bracket 20, the conveying bracket 20 gradually contacts the first conductive member 31 and presses down the first conductive member 31 to cause it to undergo elastic deformation. Under the action of the elastic force, the first conductive member 31 will press against the conveying bracket 20 until the first conductive member 31 slides to contact the second conductive member 33. The second conductive member 33 is fixed to the base 22 via the connector 28 and is also electrically connected to the support body 21 via the connector 28. All support bodies 21 of the same transport support 20 are connected in series via the third conductive member 35. In this way, static electricity on the test tube can be transmitted to the second conductive member 33 through the support body 21 and then discharged outward through the first conductive member 31, which is in tight elastic contact with the second conductive member 33. The first conductive member 31 can be grounded, thereby eliminating static electricity from the test tube and the support body 21. The conductive material can be a metal material, and the first conductive member 31, the second conductive member 33, the third conductive member 35, and the connector 28 can all be treated to remove the oxide layer at least in the areas where contact and electrical conduction are required.

[0069] In some embodiments, the slide bar serving as the sliding guide structure 11 is a wear-resistant, self-lubricating T-shaped slide bar formed at the bottom of the base 22. This helps improve the smoothness of pushing and pulling the delivery stent 20, reduces noise levels during entry and exit operations, and reduces the probability of the delivery stent 20 tipping over or becoming unstable. It is understood that other forms of the sliding mating structure 23 can also be made from materials such as PPA (Polyphthalamide), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), and PEEK (Poly(ether-ether-ketone)), and these are not specifically limited herein.

[0070] Furthermore, the conveying bracket 20 also has a handle 24, which can be connected to the base 22 and is located at the end of the entire conveying bracket 20, so that the operator can apply force to the conveying bracket 20 through the handle 24 to push and pull the conveying bracket 20, driving it to slide relative to the supporting base plate 10 to achieve entry, exit and disassembly.

[0071] In some embodiments, the support base 10 has at least two sliding guide structures 11, all of which are arranged parallel to each other. The test tube transport rack device 100 includes at least two transport brackets 20, all of which are slidably engaged with one of the sliding guide structures 11 and independently slidably mounted on the support base 10.

[0072] It can be understood that all the conveying brackets 20 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each sliding guide structure 11, and can be individually assembled and disassembled.

[0073] In this way, the test tube transport rack device 100 can carry more test tubes, effectively improving the efficiency of equipment use, reducing the frequency of manual operation, and making it more convenient to take out test tubes individually and multiple times.

[0074] Please also refer to Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the test tube transport rack device 100 further includes a rack cover 40 , which is replaceably disposed on the top of the bracket body 21 and has a test tube insertion hole 41 corresponding to the test tube slot 211 .

[0075] As will be appreciated, the test tube transport rack device 100 can be configured with at least two different sizes of rack covers 40, each with a different shape and / or size of the test tube insertion holes 41. The interchangeable rack cover 40 refers to a removable assembly between the rack cover 40 and the rack body 21. The rack cover 40 can be installed selectively, allowing the operator to replace the rack cover 40 with a different size and install it on top of the rack body 21 as needed. Test tubes can be inserted from the test tube insertion holes 41 of the rack cover 40 into the test tube slots 211 for transport, placement, and storage.

[0076] In this way, the operator can replace the appropriate rack cover 40 according to the size of the target test tube to be placed, so that the test tube socket 41 of the rack cover 40 can better fit the shape and size of the target test tube, thereby making the test tube transport rack device 100 compatible with test tubes of more specifications, and also making the test tube inserted into the test tube slot 211 through the test tube socket 41 more stable and less likely to tilt or deflect.

[0077] In some embodiments, the top of the bracket body 21 has a first assembly structure 212 , and the side of the rack cover 40 facing the conveyor rack has a second assembly structure (not shown), and the second assembly structure can be detachably matched with the first assembly structure 212 .

[0078] Specifically, one of the first assembly structure 212 and the second assembly structure can be an assembly hole, and the other can be an assembly column. It can be understood that the assembly hole and the assembly column can be arranged along the height direction of the transport bracket 20 (corresponding to Figure 5 The frame cover 40 extends in the X direction as shown, and the frame cover 40 is disassembled and assembled by plugging and pulling the assembly column relative to the assembly hole. In other words, the frame cover 40 is disassembled and assembled by plugging and pulling relative to the bracket body 21.

[0079] In this way, when the frame cover 40 is assembled toward the bracket body 21 , the two can form a detachable connection through the cooperation between the first assembly structure 212 and the second assembly structure.

[0080] In some embodiments, the stent body 21 includes a stent bottom 213 and at least two partitions 214, all of which are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the delivery stent 20 (corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the delivery stent 20). Figure 5 The test tube slots 211 are formed between two adjacent partitions 214 (in the Y direction shown in FIG. 2 ).

[0081] Specifically, each transport support 20 may include at least three partitions 214 , and accordingly, may define at least two test tube slots 211 .

[0082] In this way, the conveying bracket 20 can be divided into the test tube slots 211 on the bottom plate through the partitions 214 . At the same time, the partitions 214 can support and limit the test tubes in the test tube slots 211 .

[0083] Furthermore, the transport bracket 20 further includes a first side plate 215 and a second side plate 216, which are arranged in the width direction of the transport bracket 20 (corresponding to the width direction of the transport bracket 20). Figure 5 In the Z direction (as shown), a first side panel 215 and a second side panel 216 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the partition 214 and, together with the partition 214, form a test tube slot 211. The first side panel 215 has a window communicating with the test tube slot 211. The window allows at least a portion of the test tube in the test tube slot 211 to be exposed, allowing observation of the test tube in the test tube slot 211.

[0084] Specifically, the first side panel 215 may include a plurality of sub-panels 2151 , and each sub-panel 2151 is connected to a corresponding partition 214 , and adjacent sub-panels 2151 are spaced apart from each other to form the above-mentioned window.

[0085] In this way, the side panels can participate in forming the test tube slots 211 and support and limit the test tubes. They can also expose the test tubes through the windows. If the test tubes are affixed with identification codes or text labels, they can also be exposed through the windows and identified.

[0086] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bracket 213 faces the surface of the test tube slot 211, that is, the bottom of the test tube slot 211 has a positioning groove 2131. The positioning groove 2131 is used to accommodate the bottom of the test tube, which can be arc-shaped and can be specifically designed to imitate the bottom of the test tube.

[0087] In this way, the positioning groove 2131 can exert a certain restraining effect on the bottom of the test tube, thereby reducing the possibility of the test tube moving at the bottom and making the test tube more stable in the test tube slot 211 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the rack cover 40 includes a cover body 43 and a clamping claw 45, the clamping claw 45 has a connecting end 451 and a clamping end 453, the connecting end 451 is connected to the cover body 43, the clamping end 453 extends into the test tube slot 211 and surrounds to form a clamping space 455, and the clamping space 455 is connected to the test tube socket 41.

[0089] As can be understood, the test tube insertion hole 41 is formed in the cover 43, and the clamping ends 453 of the clamping jaws 45 surround the test tube slot 211 to form a clamping space 455, capable of exerting a clamping force on an object contained within the clamping space 455. A test tube inserted through the test tube insertion hole 41 is at least partially contained within the clamping space 455 and is held by the clamping ends 453 of the clamping jaws 45.

[0090] In this way, the clamp 45 can fix the test tube after it is inserted, and the clamp 45 itself can also be compatible with test tubes of various diameters, adaptively holding the test tube inserted into the test tube slot 211, reducing the risk of the test tube tipping over during the movement of the transport bracket 20.

[0091] Specifically, the rack cover 40 has at least two clamping jaws 45 , and the clamping ends 453 of all the clamping jaws 45 are arranged around the circumference of the test tube slot 211 and together define a clamping space 455 .

[0092] It is understandable that the clamping ends 453 of different clamping jaws 45 can be separated from each other, and each clamping jaw 45 can be deformed so that the clamping ends 453 of different clamping jaws 45 can be moved closer to or farther away from each other. The clamping jaws 45 can be elastically deformable or have a spring.

[0093] In addition, the clamping end 453 of the clamping jaw 45 may also have a contraction section. In the direction close to the bottom of the test tube groove 211, the clamping ends 453 of different clamping jaws 45 approach each other at the contraction section to facilitate the insertion of the test tube and drive the clamping ends 453 to separate from each other.

[0094] In this way, when the test tube is inserted into the clamping space 455 , the clamping ends 453 of different clamping jaws 45 can be separated from each other and elastically deformed, and the elastic force generated by the clamping jaws 45 serves as a clamping force for the test tube.

[0095] Specifically, the number of the clamping jaws 45 can be 2, 3, 4, 5, or more, and all the clamping jaws 45 can be evenly distributed. In other embodiments, the clamping ends 453 of different clamping jaws 45 can also be connected by elastic members, and the frame cover 40 can also be free of clamping jaws 45, which is not specifically limited here.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first side wall 2111 of the test tube trough 211 has two ribs 2115 spaced apart and extending along the depth of the test tube trough 211. The second side wall 2113 of the test tube trough 211 has an elastic pressing piece 2117 disposed opposite the first side wall 2111, and the elastic pressing piece 2117 extends from the second side wall 2113 toward the first side wall 2111.

[0097] The distance between the two ribs 2115 may be smaller than the diameter of the test tube, and the extending direction of the two ribs 2115 is the depth direction of the test tube groove 211 , that is, the height direction of the test tube inserted into the test tube groove 211 .

[0098] The test tube inserted into the test tube slot 211 can press the elastic pressing piece 2117 located on the second side slot wall 2113 , causing it to elastically deform and generate an elastic force toward the first side slot wall 2111 .

[0099] It can be understood that the ribs 2115 and the elastic pressing pieces 2117 can both be located on the partitions 214 , and the ribs 2115 on each partition 214 are arranged corresponding to the elastic pressing pieces 2117 of the adjacent partitions 214 .

[0100] In this way, the elastic pressing piece 2117 can press the test tube against the first side groove wall 2111, so that the test tube moves toward the direction close to the first side groove wall 2111. At the same time, the two ribs 2115 on the first side groove wall 2111 can support and restrain the test tube, thereby fixing the test tube.

[0101] When the diameter of the test tube is larger than the compatible range of the clamping claws 45 of the existing rack cover 40, the conveying bracket 20 can be replaced with a rack cover 40 without the clamping claws 45, and the elastic pressing piece 2117 presses the test tube on one side, and the two ribs 2115 support and fix the test tube on the other side, so that the test tube conveying rack device 100 has better compatibility.

[0102] The test tube transport rack device 100 comprises an elastic pressing piece 2117, double ribs 2115, and a replaceable rack cover 40. By selecting the appropriate rack cover 40, a test tube is inserted into the test tube slot 211. The elastic pressing piece 2117 and double ribs 2115 enable the test tube to be adaptively aligned. Furthermore, if a rack cover 40 with clamping claws 45 is used, the clamping claws 45 can also grip the test tube, improving its stability within the test tube slot 211. Furthermore, the bottom of the test tube is restrained by a positioning groove 2131 within the test tube slot 211, reducing the possibility of the test tube moving at the bottom and ensuring greater stability within the test tube slot 211.

[0103] In some embodiments, the test tube transport rack device 100 further includes an in-place detection member 50 , which is disposed on the support base 10 and configured to detect whether the transport bracket 20 has slid to a set position.

[0104] If the conveying bracket 20 is installed in place relative to the supporting base plate 10 , it should be in a set position, and when the conveying bracket 20 slides to the set position, the position detection member 50 can be triggered.

[0105] In this way, the operator can use the position detection member 50 to determine whether the conveying bracket 20 is installed in place relative to the support base plate 10, so as to improve the accuracy of the installation of the conveying bracket 20 relative to the support base plate 10.

[0106] Specifically, the in-position detection member 50 is a through-beam optical coupler detection member, and the conveyor bracket 20 further includes a detection block 25. When the conveyor bracket 20 slides to a set position, the detection block 25 is inserted into the detection position of the through-beam optical coupler detection member. The detection block 25 can be provided at one end of the base 22 of the conveyor bracket 20.

[0107] In addition, the support base 10 is further provided with an indicator 13, which is electrically connected to the in-position detection member 50 and is configured to emit an indication signal when the transport bracket 20 slides to a set position. The indicator 13 can be, but is not limited to, an in-position indicator light, and accordingly, the indication signal is the lighting of the indicator light.

[0108] In this way, when the conveying bracket 20 slides to the set position, it will trigger the through-beam optical coupler detection component, at which time the signal changes, and an indication signal is sent through the indicator 13 of the supporting base plate 10 to indicate that the conveying bracket 20 in the slot is in place.

[0109] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the in-place detection member 50 can also be other optical switches, contact switches or relays, etc., as long as it can detect whether the delivery bracket 20 is in place, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0110] In some embodiments, the transport rack 20 slides along its longitudinal direction with the sliding guide structure 11. The test tube transport rack device 100 further includes a barcode scanner 61 located on one side of the transport rack 20 in the longitudinal direction. The transport rack 20 has a barcode position 26, which is configured to pass through the barcode scanner 61 during the process of the transport rack 20 being slidably mounted on the support base 10.

[0111] It can be understood that the barcode scanner 61 is a barcode scanning device, which can be set on the supporting base plate 10 or at other locations outside the supporting base plate 10. It only needs to be located on one side of the entire conveying bracket 20 in the longitudinal direction.

[0112] The barcode position 26 is used to attach a barcode, which is recognized by the barcode scanner 61 and used to obtain information. In addition to the barcode position 26, the test tube itself can also be attached with a barcode and exposed from the window.

[0113] The barcode position 26 is located on the side of the conveying bracket 20 facing the barcode scanner 61, and the barcode scanner 61 is located at the entrance end of the slide groove of the supporting base plate 10. In this way, when the conveying bracket 20 is slidably installed relative to the supporting base plate 10 from the entrance end of the slide groove, the barcode positions 26 facing the barcode scanner 61 pass through the barcode scanner 61 one by one and are scanned by it.

[0114] In this way, the barcode scanner 61 cooperates with the barcode pasted on the barcode position 26 to improve the orderly management of the test tubes by the test tube transport rack device 100 and help to grasp the test tube information.

[0115] In some embodiments, the barcode position 26 includes a first barcode position 261 . The first barcode position 261 is located on a side of the transport support 20 facing the barcode scanner 61 and is arranged corresponding to the test tube slot 211 .

[0116] The first barcode positions 261 may be formed on the surface of the first side plate 215 and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the test tube slots 211 , that is, each test tube slot 211 has a corresponding first barcode position 261 .

[0117] In this way, each first barcode position 261 can record or represent information of its corresponding test tube slot 211 , so that an operator can manage the test tubes in each test tube slot 211 according to the information.

[0118] In some embodiments, the barcode position 26 includes a second barcode position, which is located on a side of the conveying bracket 20 facing the barcode scanner 61 and at one end of the conveying bracket 20 in the longitudinal direction.

[0119] The second barcode position may be located at the front end or the rear end of each delivery bracket 20 , and each second barcode position corresponds to one delivery bracket 20 .

[0120] In this way, the second barcode can record or indicate the information of the delivery bracket 20 in which it is located, so that the operator can manage different delivery brackets 20 according to the information.

[0121] Specifically, each conveyor rack 20 has 20 test tube slots 211, and 21 barcode positions 26 are designed on the conveyor rack 20, 20 of which are first barcode positions 261, which are used to mark the test tubes placed in the 20 test tube slots 211. The end of the conveyor rack 20, that is, the end of the handle 24, has a second barcode position for marking the conveyor rack 20.

[0122] In some embodiments, the plane where at least some of the barcode positions 26 are located intersects with the longitudinal direction of the delivery bracket 20 .

[0123] Specifically, the planes where all the first barcode positions 261 are located intersect with the longitudinal direction of the conveying bracket 20 , and the direction of the barcode scanner 61 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the conveying bracket 20 .

[0124] The surface of each sub-plate 2151 of the first side plate 215 forms a first barcode position 261, and all sub-plates 2151 are inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the conveying bracket 20, that is, the surfaces of all sub-plates 2151 forming the first barcode position 261 intersect with the longitudinal direction of the conveying bracket 20.

[0125] In this way, the barcode position 26 of the conveying bracket 20 is set to a certain deflection angle to reduce the influence of light reflection on the signal received by the scanner 61.

[0126] In some embodiments, the barcode scanner 61 has a zoom function. The test tube transport rack device 100 further includes a rangefinder 63 located on one side of all transport racks 20 in the longitudinal direction and configured to detect the distance between the rangefinder 63 and the transport rack 20 toward which the barcode scanner 61 is directed.

[0127] It can be understood that the rangefinder 63 can be connected to the scanner 61 for communication, and the distance measured by it and the conveying bracket 20 can represent the distance between the scanner 61 and the conveying bracket 20 that the scanner 61 is facing, thereby helping the scanner 61 with zoom function to focus.

[0128] The communication connection may be a direct communication connection between the rangefinder 63 and the barcode scanner 61 , or an indirect communication connection through other data processing modules, controllers, etc. The connection method may be wired or wireless.

[0129] In this way, when different conveyor racks 20 are installed, the code scanner 61 can use the distance measurement of the rangefinder 63 combined with its own zoom to align with the conveyor racks 20 at different distances, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of recognition. In addition, with the help of the rangefinder 63, different conveyor racks 20 can also be distinguished.

[0130] In some embodiments, the test tube transport rack device 100 further includes a mounting cover plate 65 , which is located on one side of the supporting base plate 10 and is used to mount a barcode scanner 61 and a rangefinder 63 .

[0131] In some embodiments, the handle 24 is formed with a code scanning avoidance space 241 . After the delivery bracket 20 is installed in place, the code scanner 61 faces the code scanning avoidance space 241 .

[0132] It can be understood that after the conveying bracket 20 is installed in place, its code scanning avoidance space 241 can avoid the direction of the code scanner 61 and does not block the code scanner 61.

[0133] In addition, the handle 24 is ergonomically designed and does not interfere with adjacent components. Specifically, it can be a "U"-shaped or "L"-shaped structure.

[0134] In this way, the transport bracket 20 installed in place avoids the barcode scanner 61 through the barcode scanning avoidance space 241 to avoid blocking it and affecting the scanning of barcodes on other transport brackets 20.

[0135] In addition to the barcode scanner 61 and rangefinder 63, the test tube transport rack device 100 can also utilize a positioning and identification management system using a chip embedded in the transport rack 20 or a visual positioning and identification management system using a camera. The operator can freely place a test tube into any test tube slot 211 of any transport rack 20, and the device accurately determines the test tube's position using the barcode scanner 61 and rangefinder 63. Combining the barcode scanner 61's recognition of the barcode at barcode position 26 with the installation process of pushing the transport rack 20 into place eliminates the need for a second scan after removing the test tube, thereby improving the efficiency and success rate of code scanning.

[0136] In some embodiments, the conveying bracket 20 further includes a positioning structure 27 , and the supporting base plate 10 has a positioning matching structure 15 . When the conveying bracket 20 slides to a set position, the positioning structure 27 engages with the positioning matching structure 15 .

[0137] It can be understood that after the positioning structure 27 is engaged with the positioning matching structure 15 , a limit can be generated in the sliding direction of the conveying bracket 20 .

[0138] Thus, when the operator pushes the transport rack 20 for installation and feels the positioning structure 27 engage with the positioning and mating structure 15, it indicates that the transport rack 20 has reached the set position and is properly installed. In other words, the positioning structure 27 and the positioning and mating structure 15 effectively position the transport rack 20 in the correct position, ensuring that the test tube is analyzed in the correct position and making it easier to access the transport rack 20. Furthermore, once the transport rack 20 is properly installed, the engagement of the positioning structure 27 and the positioning and mating structure 15 ensures that the transport rack 20 remains stably in the set position.

[0139] Specifically, the positioning structure 27 is a snap-fit groove provided at the top of the detection block 25, and the positioning and matching structure 15 is a ball plunger. After the delivery rack 20 is installed in place, the ball plunger snaps into the snap-fit groove. The ball plunger positioning also has an anti-collision effect, which can reduce the probability of collision of the delivery rack 20, better protect the safety of the test tube, and prevent it from slipping out and falling.

[0140] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the conveying bracket 20 may also be positioned relative to the supporting base plate 10 using positioning pins or other positioning clamps.

[0141] The above-mentioned test tube conveyor rack device 100 includes a conveyor rack 20, a rack cover 40, a support base 10, an in-place detection member 50, an indicator 13, a barcode scanner 61 and a rangefinder 63. In addition, the test tube conveyor rack device 100 may also include an end vertical plate 70 and a board support plate 80, wherein the end vertical plate 70 can be used to install the in-place detection member 50 and the ball plunger, and the card support plate is used to install the board. The conveyor rack 20 is installed into the support base 10 through a T-slot-shaped sliding guide structure 11. During the installation process, the corresponding barcode information on the conveyor rack 20 is read by the barcode scanner 61 and the rangefinder 63. The in-place detection and positioning of the conveyor rack 20 are completed by the ball plunger, the in-place detection member 50, etc. The detection block 25 of the conveyor rack 20 is inserted into the detection position of the in-place detection member 50, causing the signal to change, and the indicator 13 on the support base 10 indicates that the corresponding conveyor rack 20 is in place. At the same time, the conveyor rack 20 engages with the ball plunger on the end plate 70 through the locking groove on the detection block 25, effectively securing the conveyor rack 20 and ensuring that the test tube is correctly positioned for analysis. The zoom scanner 61 and rangefinder 63 work together to insert the slider of the conveyor rack 20 into the slot. This process, combined with the scanning function of the scanner 61, reduces the need for re-scanning test tubes after removal, thereby improving the safety of test tube storage. To improve the success rate of barcode scanning, the barcode position 26 of the conveyor rack 20 is set with a certain deflection angle to reduce the impact of light reflection on the signal received by the scanner 61. Furthermore, the rangefinder 63 reads the corresponding test tube slot and distinguishes the information of different test tubes in different slots. To secure the test tubes, the rack cover 40 includes a cover body 43 and four clamping jaws 45. These four clamping jaws 45 are symmetrically arranged within the test tube slot 211, compatibility with test tubes of various diameters, and good versatility. Furthermore, the operator can replace the rack cover 40 according to the different test tube diameters to make the test tube transport rack device 100 more compatible. If the test tube diameter is larger than the compatible range of the rack cover with the clamping jaws 45, the rack cover 40 without the clamping jaws 45 can be replaced. The test tube can then be secured by using a single-sided compression with an elastic pressure piece 2117 on one side and a double rib 2115 on the other side for support.

[0142] The sliding fit structure 23 is a wear-resistant, self-lubricating T-shaped slide made of POM (Polyformaldehyde). This helps improve the smoothness of pushing and pulling the delivery rack 20, reduces noise levels during sample loading and unloading operations, and prevents the delivery rack 20 from tipping over or becoming unstable. Furthermore, the delivery rack 20 features a comfortable, ergonomic handle 24. The "7"-shaped handle 24 has a clear space 241 for scanning QR codes. The extended handle design does not obstruct the indicator 13 and does not interfere with adjacent components.

[0143] A single transport rack 20 of the test tube transport rack device 100 integrates 20 test tube slots 211, which can hold 20 PCS of samples at a time, effectively improving the efficiency of equipment use and reducing the frequency of manual operation. Secondly, the test tube placement position is designed with a rack cover 40 with a clamp 45. After the test tube is placed, the test tube can be adaptively clamped to reduce the risk of tipping over during the movement of the transport rack 20. At the same time, when the test tube diameter is too large, the transport rack 20 can also be supported and fixed by the elastic pressing piece 2117 and the double ribs 2115, thereby improving its compatibility. In addition, 21 barcode positions 26 are designed on the transport rack 20, 20 of which are used to mark the 20 test tubes placed, and the last barcode near the handle 24 is used to mark the transport rack 20. In this way, the operator can arbitrarily place the test tube into any test tube slot 211 of any transport rack 20, and the device can accurately determine the position of the test tube through the barcode scanner 61 and the rangefinder 63. Furthermore, the test tube rack device 100 can also remove static electricity from the rack body 21 and the test tubes within it through a static elimination component. This improves the convenience of using the test tube rack device 100 for multiple test tubes, reduces the risk of test tubes tipping over, and allows for more organized test tube management in experiments where multiple test tubes are used simultaneously.

[0144] The present application also provides a detection device, including the above-mentioned test tube conveying rack device 100. Specifically, the detection device can be, but is not limited to, a luminescent immunoassay analyzer.

[0145] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0146] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
