Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal cup trays, in particular to a centrifugal cup tray for automatic transmission. Background Art
[0002] Centrifugation is a vital technology widely used in numerous scientific research and industrial production fields. In the biomedical field, centrifuges are widely used to separate and process blood samples. Automated transfer systems accurately and quickly move centrifuge cups from one workstation to another according to pre-set procedures and paths, reducing the likelihood of human error while also enabling better coordination with other automated equipment. This is where centrifuge cup trays come in handy.
[0003] The prior art discloses a centrifuge cup tray and an automated transport system with the announcement number CN220536320U, wherein the centrifuge cup tray includes a chassis, a support component, and a handle. The chassis has a flat bottom surface, and a rib is provided at the upper end of the chassis to form a receiving cavity that matches the shape of the centrifuge cup. The support component is connected to the chassis, located in the receiving cavity, and fits with the inclined surface of the bottom of the centrifuge cup. The handle is connected to the chassis, and protrudes from the upper end of the chassis for lifting the chassis. When the centrifuge cup is placed in the receiving cavity, the support component fits with the inclined surface of the bottom of the centrifuge cup, which can stably support the centrifuge cup. The rib is used to confine the centrifuge cup and prevent it from tipping over. The bottom surface of the centrifuge cup tray is flat and can be placed on a conveyor belt for transport, without the need for a specially designed conveyor belt, thereby reducing costs. The centrifuge cup tray can pass over the gap at the docking position of the conveyor belt, eliminating the risk of the centrifuge cup tipping over.
[0004] The centrifuge cup tray for automatic transmission uses a groove to form a buckle on the upper end of the vertical plate, which is convenient for the operator to pinch the vertical plate. Moreover, the groove can also be used for an automated clamp. The groove cooperates with the clamping claw of the automated clamp to automatically clamp the centrifuge cup tray to achieve transfer. However, the centrifuge cup tray does not have an adsorption component when placing the centrifuge cup, but only a limiting component for limiting connection. The centrifuge cup is not stable when placed in the tray, and the effect during use is not good, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
