As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0041] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0042] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a blood collection tube compartment transportation mechanism, which includes:

[0043] The material frame 21 is vertically penetrated by a plurality of first material troughs 211, which are arranged linearly in the horizontal direction; a first hopper 212 is rotatably arranged in the first material trough 211; the first hopper 212 is horizontally arranged for placing blood collection tubes;

[0044] The turning assembly 22 is connected to the material frame 21 and is used to drive the first hopper 212 to turn over so that the blood collection tube falls into a designated position;

[0045] The transfer assembly is used to drive the blood collection tubes into the first hopper 212.

[0046] The blood collection tube binning and transport mechanism of this embodiment, during its specific implementation, transfers the blood collection tubes to the first hopper 212 through the transfer assembly, and then drives the first hopper 212 to flip through the flip assembly 22, causing the blood collection tubes to fall from the first hopper 212 into the silo. This achieves fully automated operation of blood collection tube binning, significantly reduces the number of manual operation steps, reduces the physical burden on operators, effectively reduces the risk of misoperation caused by manual operation, and improves the efficiency of blood collection tube binning. The first trough 211 is arranged linearly in the horizontal direction, which can accommodate more blood collection tubes at the same time, improves space utilization, and makes the blood collection tubes neatly arranged, facilitating their accurate drop into the corresponding silo, promoting the standardization and intelligence of the blood collection tube classification process, and effectively avoiding safety issues caused by manual intervention.

[0047] Specifically, the transfer component includes:

[0048] A first horizontal moving component 23 is used to drive the material frame 21 to move along a first horizontal direction;

[0049] The second horizontal moving assembly 24 is used to drive the blood collection tube to move along the second horizontal direction and enter the first horizontal moving assembly 23; the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0050] The material frame 21 only moves in the first horizontal direction, so that the first horizontal moving component 23 only needs to carry the material frame 21. Compared with the traditional method in which the material frame 21 is connected to the moving component in the first horizontal direction, the moving component in the first horizontal direction is connected to the moving component in the second horizontal direction. This greatly reduces the burden on the transfer component, extends the service life of the transfer component, and improves the stability and reliability of the transfer.

[0051] Specifically, the first horizontal movement assembly 23 includes a first fixed base 231, a first conveyor belt 232, and a first roller assembly 233. The first fixed base 231 is positioned along a first horizontal direction, the first roller assembly 233 is horizontally positioned and rotatably connected to the first fixed base 231, and the first conveyor belt 232 is sleeved on the first roller assembly 233. The material frame 21 is fixedly connected to the first conveyor belt 232. The first roller assembly 233 is positioned along the first horizontal direction following the first fixed base 231, so that the second conveyor belt is positioned along the first horizontal direction. The rotation of the first roller assembly 233 causes the material frame 21 to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0052] Specifically, the first horizontal movement assembly 23 further includes a fourth driving member 234 for driving the first roller assembly 233 to rotate. The fourth driving member 234 drives the second roller assembly 233 to rotate, and the first roller assembly 233 drives the first conveyor belt 232 to rotate. The first conveyor belt 232 drives the material frame 21 to move in the first horizontal direction.

[0053] Specifically, the first horizontal movement assembly 23 also includes a second guide rail 235 extending along a first horizontal direction, and the material frame 21 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 235. The second guide rail 235 shares the load of the first conveyor belt 232, ensuring the service life of the blood collection tube compartment transfer mechanism, while also improving the sliding smoothness and control flexibility of the material trough, thereby enhancing the transfer efficiency of the blood collection tubes.

[0054] Specifically, the second horizontal moving assembly 24 comprises a second fixed base 241, a movable frame 242, a second hopper 243, and a tilting actuator 248. The second fixed base 241 is positioned along a second horizontal axis. The movable frame 242 is slidably connected to the second fixed base 241 and vertically extends through a second trough 244. The second hopper 243 is positioned along the length of the first hopper 212 and is rotatably connected to the second trough 244 for receiving blood collection tubes. The tilting actuator 248 tilts the second hopper 243, allowing the blood collection tubes to fall into the first hopper 212. The second horizontal moving assembly 24 and the first horizontal moving assembly 23 are independent and do not interfere with each other, which helps standardize the transfer process. In practice, the trough first moves below the second horizontal moving assembly 24. The second hopper 243 is loaded with blood collection tubes. The movable frame 242 moves along the second fixed base 241 to a designated location above the first hopper 212. The tilting actuator 248 tilts the second hopper 243, allowing the blood collection tubes to fall into the first hopper 212.

[0055] Specifically, the second horizontal movement assembly 24 further includes: a second conveyor belt 245, a second roller set 246, and a fifth driving member 247. The second roller set 246 is distributed along the second horizontal direction and is rotatably connected to the second fixed base 241. The second conveyor belt 245 is sleeved on the second roller set 246. The fifth driving member 247 is used to drive the second roller set 246 to rotate. The movable frame 242 is fixedly connected to the second conveyor belt 245. The fifth driving member 247 drives the second roller set 246 to rotate. The second roller set 246 drives the second conveyor belt 245 to rotate. The second conveyor belt 245 drives the movable frame 242 to move along the second horizontal direction.

[0056] Specifically, the first fixing seat 231 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixing seat 241. The first fixing seat 231 and the second fixing seat 241 partially overlap, saving installation space, improving space utilization, and ensuring the compactness of the blood collection tube storage and transportation mechanism.

[0057] Specifically, the first hopper 212 comprises a curved plate 2121, two side covers 2122, and a rotating shaft 2123. The two ends of the curved plate 2121 are connected to the two side covers 2122, which are connected to the rotating shaft 2123, which is rotatably connected to the material frame 21. The side covers 2122 are circular, and the curved plate 2121 is configured to correspond to the shape of the blood collection tubes. The first hopper 212 is hollow and cylindrical, adapting to the shape of the blood collection tubes and accommodating a variety of blood collection tube sizes. It also stably stores blood collection tubes during the movement of the material frame 21, preventing them from falling out of the first hopper 212 due to machine vibration, thus ensuring the reliability of the automated blood collection tube sorting process.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second hopper 243 has the same structure as the first hopper 212. It is understood that in other embodiments, the structure of the first hopper 212 or the second hopper 243 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0059] Specifically, the flip assembly 22 includes:

[0060] The second rack 221 is movably connected to the material frame 21;

[0061] A plurality of second gears 222 are provided corresponding to the first hopper 212 and fixedly connected to one end of the first hopper 212; the second gears 222 and the second rack 221 are meshed with each other;

[0062] The third gear 223 is meshed with the second rack 221;

[0063] The third driving member 224 is used to drive the third gear 223 to rotate.

[0064] All second gears 222 mesh with the second rack 221, ensuring synchronization of the tilting control of all first hoppers 212. The third drive member 224 rotates the third gear 223, which in turn moves the second rack 221. The second rack 221 rotates the second gear 222, which in turn rotates the first hopper 212. This facilitates a one-to-one correspondence between multiple first hoppers 212 and multiple silos, allowing blood collection tubes for different examinations to be stored simultaneously in their corresponding silos, achieving efficient and automated binning of multiple blood collection tubes.

[0065] Specifically, the blood collection tube bin-splitting and transport mechanism also includes a transfer assembly 25 for driving the blood collection tubes into the second horizontal moving assembly 24. The transfer assembly 25 comprises a transfer frame 251, a third conveyor belt 252, a third roller assembly 253, and a sixth drive member 254. The third roller assembly 253 is horizontally arranged and rotatably connected to the transfer frame 251, and the third conveyor belt 252 is sleeved onto the third roller assembly 253. The third conveyor belt 252 is arranged along the direction of the second hopper 243, with its top surface positioned higher than the second hopper 243. The transfer assembly 25 drives blood collection tubes from the labeling station or external locations horizontally into the second hopper 243, preventing blood collection tubes from twisting into the second hopper 243 or directly entering the moving frame 242 and becoming stuck between the second hopper 243 and the second trough 244, thus ensuring smooth bin-splitting.

[0066] In this embodiment, the plurality of first troughs 211 are linearly arranged along the second horizontal direction, the second rack 221 is disposed along the second horizontal direction, and the first hopper 212 and the second hopper 243 are disposed along the first horizontal direction. This prevents the movable frame 242 from protruding beyond the second fixed base 241 and occupying a large amount of space in the second horizontal direction. The first and second horizontal movable assemblies 23 and 24 are compact and highly space-efficient. It is understood that in other embodiments, the plurality of first troughs 211 may be linearly arranged along the first horizontal direction, the second rack 221 may be disposed along the first horizontal direction, and the first hopper 212 and the second hopper 243 may be disposed along the second horizontal direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the third driving member 224, the fourth driving member 234, the fifth driving member 247, the sixth driving member 254, and the flip driving member 248 are all motors. It is understood that in other embodiments, motors, rotary cylinders, or other driving members can be used instead of motors according to actual needs.

[0068] A blood collection tube binning and transporting mechanism of the present embodiment transfers the blood collection tubes from the previous labeling workstation to the first hopper by providing a transfer component, and drives the first hopper to flip through the flipping component, causing the blood collection tubes to fall from the first hopper into the hopper, thereby realizing fully automated operation of blood collection tube binning, greatly reducing the number of manual operation steps, alleviating the physical burden of the operator, effectively reducing the risk of misoperation caused by manual operation, and improving the efficiency of blood collection tube binning.
