[0013] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Embodiment: A device for automatically classifying and receiving samples.

[0015] refer to Figure 1As shown, a sample automatic classification and receiving device includes: a test tube rack conveyor belt 2, a material discharge trough 1 is provided on the left side of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2, and the left end of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2 is located below the material discharge trough 1. During actual operation, it is only necessary to place the sample test tube rack 13 to be transported in the material discharge trough 1, and then the sample can be transported over a long distance through the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. Side baffles are installed on both sides of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2 to prevent the sample test tube rack 13 from being transported on the test tube rack conveyor belt. A turntable 6 is installed on the right side of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2, and a stepper motor 7 is installed in the middle of the turntable 6 to drive the turntable 6 to rotate. During actual operation, the stepper motor 7 drives the turntable 6 to rotate steadily. The turntable 6 is provided with six test tube rack receiving slots 8 distributed in a circular array with the center of the turntable 6 as the center. The rear end of each test tube rack receiving slot 8 is correspondingly provided with a pushing cylinder 9. Five test tube rack sub-department receiving tables 10 corresponding to the test tube rack receiving slots 8 are provided on the circumferential side of the turntable 6. During actual operation, when the turntable 6 is rotating, the six test tube rack receiving slots 8 are constantly rotating. Finally, there is a test tube rack receiving slot 8 directly opposite the end of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. The other five test tube rack receiving slots 8 correspond to the five test tube rack sub-department receiving stations 10 arranged on the side of the turntable 6. In this embodiment, the five test tube rack sub-department receiving stations 10 located on the side of the turntable 6 are respectively arranged in the direction of rotation of the turntable 6 as a blood test tube rack sub-department receiving station, a stool test tube rack sub-department receiving station, a urine test tube rack sub-department receiving station, a leucorrhea test tube rack sub-department receiving station, and a saliva test tube rack sub-department receiving station. During actual operation, they correspondingly receive test tube racks of blood, stool, urine, leucorrhea, and saliva samples. Each test tube rack sub-department receiving station 10 is equipped with a gravity sensor 11 and an alarm 12, and the gravity sensor 11 and the alarm 12 are electrically connected. In actual operation, when the sample test tube rack 13 enters the corresponding test tube rack sub-department receiving platform 10, the gravity sensor 11 senses the sample test tube rack 13 and drives the alarm 12 to sound an alarm, reminding the operator to take away the corresponding sample test tube rack 13 in time.

[0016] In this embodiment, a barcode scanner 3 is installed on both the left and right sides of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. The barcode scanner 3 is electrically connected to a stepper motor 7 and a push cylinder 9, respectively. A lifting baffle 4 is installed on the right side of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2 where it meets the turntable 6. Below the lifting baffle 4 is a lifting cylinder 5 that drives the lifting baffle 4 upward and downward. The lifting cylinder 5 is electrically connected to the barcode scanner 3. In actual operation, only when the barcode scanner 3 scans the label information on the sample test tube rack 13 will it drive the lifting cylinder 5 downward, causing the lifting baffle 4 to descend, and the sample test tube rack 13, driven by the test tube rack conveyor belt 2, enter the test tube rack receiving slot 8 of the turntable 6. If the barcode scanner 3 fails to scan the label information on the sample test tube rack 13, the lifting baffle 4 will block the unscanned sample test tube rack 13.

[0017] This automatic sample classification and receiving device has a simple structure, ingenious design, and is easy to use. It can realize the automatic identification, transportation, and classification of sample test tube racks with high work efficiency. In actual operation, it is only necessary to place the collected and classified sample test tube racks 13 in the discharge trough 1, and then transport them over a long distance through the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. The labels posted on the sample test tube racks 13 are scanned by the barcode scanners 3 installed on the left and right sides of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. When the barcode scanners 3 scan the label information on the sample test tube racks 13, they will drive the lifting cylinder 5 to move downward, causing the lifting baffle 4 to descend, and the sample test tube racks 13 will enter the test tube rack receiving slot 8 of the turntable 6 under the drive of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. If the barcode scanner 3 fails to scan the label information on the sample test tube rack 13, the lifting baffle 4 will block the unscanned sample test tube racks 13 and sound an alarm to remind the operator to handle it. The scanned sample test tube rack 13 is transported to the test tube rack receiving slot 8 on the turntable 6 opposite to the end of the test tube rack conveyor belt 2. The stepper motor 7 drives the turntable 6 and the sample test tube rack 13 located in the test tube rack receiving slot 8 to rotate. The stepper motor 7 will rotate the sample test tube rack 13 to the corresponding test tube rack sub-department receiving station 10 according to the information scanned by the barcode scanner 3. Then the pushing cylinder 9 at the rear end of the test tube rack receiving slot 8 is started to push the sample test tube rack 13 in the test tube rack receiving slot 8 to the corresponding test tube rack sub-department receiving station 10. The gravity sensor 11 senses the sample test tube rack 13 and drives the alarm 12 to sound an alarm, reminding the operator to take away the corresponding sample test tube rack 13 in time, thereby realizing automatic identification, transportation and classification of the sample test tube rack, thereby improving the efficiency of sample test tube rack transportation and sorting.

[0018] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention should not be limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiment and the drawings. Therefore, any equivalent or modification completed without departing from the spirit disclosed in the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
