Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present application are deemed equivalent replacements and fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this application, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", etc. are only used to distinguish different structures, and do not limit the number, connection relationship, etc. of specific structures; in addition, the directions or positional relationships indicated by "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting this application.

[0037] This embodiment provides a pull-out basket, such as Figures 1 to 4 Shown, including:

[0038] Vertical plate 10;

[0039] First slide rails 20, one or more first slide rails 20 are directly or indirectly fixed to one side of the vertical plate 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first slide rails 20 are indirectly fixed to one side of the vertical plate 10 through a bottom plate;

[0040] A bearing bar 30 , the bearing bar 30 being disposed on the slide rail 20 ;

[0041] The pull-out assembly 40 can drive the supporting bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20 .

[0042] The first slide rail may be implemented as a track or a slide groove, and in this embodiment, it is specifically a slide groove.

[0043] The pull-out basket provided in this embodiment can be applied to the box of an equipment, and can be pulled out from one side of the box to place items (such as materials or containers for storing materials). After that, it can be pushed into the box. Its vertical plate 10 and the side of the box can ensure that the interior of the equipment is isolated from the outside to ensure the necessary conditions within the equipment (such as temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, etc.). When the pull-out basket is pushed into the box, its pull-out assembly 40 can drive the support bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20 to push the items carried on the support bar to the appropriate position, thereby facilitating the rapid and accurate grasping of the items by a robotic arm or the like.

[0044] Regarding the combination of the pull-out basket and the equipment box, this application has no specific restrictions. For example, the existing solution can be adopted to set sliders 50 on both sides of the pull-out basket and set corresponding tracks in the equipment box to facilitate pulling out the pull-out basket.

[0045] According to the needs of the equipment, those skilled in the art can appropriately select the appropriate orientation of the first slide rail 20 on the vertical plate. In this embodiment, taking a pull-out basket used in ordinary scenes as an example, the first slide rail 20 is vertically arranged on one side of the vertical plate 10.

[0046] In order to facilitate the placement of items and accurately define the specific position of the items on the carrying bar, so that a robot arm can accurately grab the items, the carrying bar 30 is provided with a carrying position 31 for carrying items.

[0047] Regarding the form of the bearing position, this application has no specific restrictions, and those skilled in the art can make specific choices based on the appearance of the items used in the device. In this embodiment, the bearing position 31 is a hole set on the bearing bar 30, which can be set as a blind hole or a through hole as needed. Figure 4 As shown, it shows a pull-out basket that carries syringes and lotion bottles through holes.

[0048] To further facilitate automation of the device, the pull-out basket of this embodiment is also equipped with a first sensor (not shown) to detect whether items are in place on the carrying bar 30. Furthermore, when transparent containers are used to carry materials, the first sensor can also be used to detect whether the containers on the carrying bar are filled with materials. This facilitates the device to determine whether the pull-out basket is loaded with materials or whether the container is empty, thereby ensuring accurate operation of the device.

[0049] This application does not specifically limit the location and detection method of the first sensor. Persons skilled in the art will determine the appropriate method based on the specific appearance of the object. In this embodiment, a first through hole 32 is provided on the side of the support bar 30 to enable detection by the first sensor. The first sensor can utilize an existing photoelectric sensor.

[0050] When the support bar 30 slides along the first slide rail 20, the first slide rail 20 can limit the support bar 30 to move in a direction perpendicular to the first slide rail 20. However, if the first slide rail 20 is arranged horizontally, when the pull-out basket is pulled out, the support bar 30 is only subjected to the friction force of the first slide rail 20 in the horizontal direction.

[0051] Therefore, in order to ensure that the supporting bar 30 can be stably positioned on the pull-out basket when the pull-out basket is pulled out to place / take out items, a connecting piece 11 is provided on the vertical plate 10 in this embodiment, and the connecting piece 11 can be detachably connected to one end of the supporting bar 30.

[0052] “Separable connection” refers to a non-fixed connection. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the “separable connection” should not affect the pulling assembly 40 driving the support bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20 .

[0053] For example, a "detachable connection" may be a connection achieved through a force that is smaller than the force of the pull-out assembly 40 driving the support bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20. Specifically, it may be connected through an interference fit, and the connection is made of soft materials; or it may be a magnetic connection. In addition, an automated component connection may be provided, so that when the pull-out basket needs to be pulled out, the automated component locks the support bar 30, and when the pull-out assembly drives the support bar 30 to slide, the automated component unlocks the support bar 30, such as providing a groove on the side of the support bar 30, and providing a protruding component that can be inserted into the groove, and the protruding component is driven by electric / pneumatic means to extend into the groove for locking, and is pulled out of the groove for unlocking.

[0054] In this embodiment, a connecting hole (not shown in the figure) is specifically provided on the connecting member 11, and a connecting protrusion 34 is provided on the side of the supporting bar 30 facing the connecting member 11. The connecting hole and the connecting protrusion 34 are interference fit, and the inner side of the connecting hole and / or the outer side of the connecting protrusion 34 are made of soft material (such as a polymer material, specifically rubber, etc.) to ensure that the bonding force between the two is smaller than the force of the pulling component 40 driving the supporting bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20.

[0055] In order to ensure that the supporting bar 30 is connected to the vertical plate 10 when the pull-out basket is pulled out, the pull-out basket of this embodiment is further provided with a second sensor (not shown in the figure).

[0056] This application does not specifically limit the specific location and detection method of the second sensor. For example, a through hole can be provided in the side wall of the connector 11 provided with the connection hole, and the second sensor can detect whether the connection protrusion 34 is in place. Alternatively, a protrusion can be provided on the support bar 30, and the second sensor can detect the position of the protrusion to determine the position of the support bar 30. The second sensor can use an existing photoelectric sensor.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific solution for the pulling assembly 40, which includes: a first motion unit 41; a roller 42, the roller 42 can contact the supporting bar 30, and the first motion unit 41 can drive the roller 42 to rotate to drive the supporting bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20.

[0058] There is no specific limitation on the first motion unit 41, as long as it can drive the roller 42 to rotate. The first motion unit 41 can be, for example, a motor, a pneumatic motor, etc.

[0059] The roller 42 can drive the supporting bar 30 to slide along the first slide rail 20 through static friction contact. In order to prevent the two from sliding, the outer side of the roller 42 can be coated with rubber.

[0060] In order to ensure the stability of the contact between the roller 42 and the supporting bar 30 and ensure that the supporting bar 30 can be driven to move accurately to the predetermined position, the roller 32 is circumferentially provided with a first tooth surface (not shown in the figure), and the supporting bar 30 is provided with a second tooth surface 33 that cooperates with the first tooth surface, that is, the two are engaged through the tooth surface.

[0061] In addition, the pull-out assembly of this embodiment may further include a support wheel 43; the support wheel 43 is rotatably disposed on the side of the roller 42 away from the exit of the first slide rail 20, with its axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the support bar. Thus, when the support bar 20 extends a certain distance from the exit of the first slide rail 20, the support wheel 43 can support the extended end of the support bar 20, ensuring smooth sliding of the support bar 20 on the first slide rail 20. This also reduces wear between the support bar 20 and the first slide rail 20, thereby increasing the overall lifespan of the pull-out basket.

[0062] In the case where more than two first slide rails 20 and support bars 30 are provided on the pull-out basket, they can be specifically provided in an m×n array (for example, in m rows and n columns), where m and n are positive integers greater than or equal to 1, and at least one of them is greater than or equal to 2;

[0063] The pull-out basket further includes a first motion assembly (not shown in the figure), which can drive the pull-out assembly 40 to move to the exit side of each first slide rail 20;

[0064] The pulling assembly 40 further includes a pushing unit 44 , which can push the roller 42 to one side of the supporting bar 30 , so that the first movement unit 41 can drive the roller 42 to rotate and drive the first slide rail 20 of the supporting bar 30 to slide.

[0065] Thus, through the above technical solution, the pulling assembly 40 can be driven to different first slide rail 20 exits through the first motion assembly, and the pulling assembly 40 will not interfere with any first slide rail 20 or supporting bar 30 during movement; when the pulling assembly 40 moves to a certain first slide rail 20 exit, the first motion unit 41 can drive the roller 42 to contact the supporting bar 30, thereby driving the supporting bar to slide along the first slide rail, so that one pulling assembly 40 can be used to pull different supporting bars 30.

[0066] Regarding the form of the first motion component, specifically, if one of m and n is 1 and the other is greater than or equal to 2 (i.e., the first slide rail 20 and the support bar 30 are arranged in a single row or column), the first motion component is a single-axis linear motion unit, i.e., it can drive the pull-out component 40 to perform linear motion; if both m and n are greater than or equal to 2 (i.e., the first slide rail 20 and the support bar 30 are arranged in an array of multiple rows and columns), the first motion component is a dual-axis linear motion unit, i.e., it can drive the pull-out component 40 to move within a plane. Regarding single-axis linear motion units and dual-axis linear motion units, both can use existing solutions, such as each axis is implemented by a screw.

[0067] Regarding the pushing unit 44 , the present application has no specific limitation, and examples thereof include an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, and the like.

[0068] In order to ensure the stability of the pushing unit 44 in driving the roller 42 to move, a second slide rail 45 may be further provided so that the fixed portion of the first moving unit can slide along the second slide rail 45 .

[0069] Although the embodiments of the present application are described above, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments and application fields. The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely illustrative and instructive, and not restrictive. A person of ordinary skill in the art, guided by this specification and without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of this application, may also devise various forms, all of which fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
