[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the present application proposes a temperature control system, including: a sample rack 1, a first manipulator 2, a conveyor belt 3, a second manipulator 4, a temperature control box 5, a third manipulator 6 and a sample rack 7. The sample rack 1 and the first manipulator 2 are both arranged near the starting position of the conveyor belt 3, and the first manipulator 2 is used to place the material of the sample rack 1 onto the conveyor belt 3. The second manipulator 4 and the temperature control box 5 are both arranged near the middle position of the conveyor belt 3. The temperature control box 5 is used to change the temperature of the material. The second manipulator 4 is used to place the material of the conveyor belt 3 into the temperature control box 5, and is used to put the material whose temperature is changed by the temperature control box 5 back into the conveyor belt 3. The third manipulator 6 and the sample rack 7 are both arranged near the end position of the conveyor belt 3, and the third manipulator 6 is used to place the material of the conveyor belt 3 into the sample rack 7.
[0023] Based on the above technical solution, in the temperature control system of the present application, the sample rack 1 is used to place materials, and the first manipulator 2 can automatically transport the materials on the sample rack 1 to the conveyor belt 3. As the conveyor belt 3 continues to move, the materials come to the position of the temperature control box 5, and the second manipulator 4 automatically puts the materials on the conveyor belt 3 into the temperature control box 5, and performs high-temperature or low-temperature treatment on the materials. After treatment, the second manipulator 4 can automatically put the materials back to the conveyor belt 3. When the materials come to the end of the conveyor belt 3, the third manipulator 6 can automatically remove the materials on the conveyor belt 3 and put them into the sample rack 7 for storage. Through image recognition functions such as taking photos and recording videos, automatic material identification, automatic loading, automatic opening and closing of the temperature control box 5 door, automatic setting of the temperature and time of the temperature control box 5, automatic unloading, etc. can be realized, thereby realizing full process automation, improving production and R&D efficiency, and reducing labor costs.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 3 further includes a coding device 8 and a code scanning device 9, both of which are arranged at the starting position of the conveyor belt 3. The coding device 8 is used to code the material, and the code scanning device 9 is used to scan the QR code information printed by the coding device 8. The coding device 8 and the code scanning device 9 can be used to identify the type of material, so that the second robot 4 can perform appropriate temperature treatment after grabbing and placing it into the temperature control box 5.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sample tray 10 is further included. The sample tray 10 is used to hold materials of the same type scanned by the code scanning device 9. The first manipulator 2 is used to place the sample tray 10 on the conveyor belt 3. The second manipulator 4 is used to put the sample tray 10 into or take it out of the temperature control box 5. The third manipulator 6 is used to put the sample tray 10 into the lower sample rack 7. The sample tray 10 can be used to load materials of the same type. When the manipulator takes it, it only needs to pick up the sample tray 10. This not only makes the taking operation easier, but also reduces the operation frequency of the manipulator and the temperature control box 5. Multiple materials of the same type can be processed together.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control box 5 includes a box body 51, a cylinder 52, and a door 53. The cylinder 52 is mounted on the box body 51, and the power output end of the cylinder 52 is connected to the door 53 to drive the door 53 to open or close the box body 51. The door 53 of the temperature control box 5 is opened and closed by the cylinder 52, which can realize automatic door opening and closing. The cylinder 52 is easy to use and responds quickly, making it a preferred method for opening and closing the door.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the temperature control box 5 further includes a fisheye joint 54, which is mounted on the door body 53 and connected to the end of the power output end of the cylinder 52. The fisheye joint 54 connects the door body 53 and the cylinder 52 to improve the connection strength between the two without affecting the normal opening and closing of the door body 53.
[0028] More specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the door body 53 is hingedly connected to the box body 51, and the fisheye joint 54 is spaced apart from the hinge axis. The hinged installation method of the door body 53 and the box body 51 is simple and reliable. The cylinder 52 can open and close the door body 53 with just a simple movement. At the same time, to improve the speed and efficiency of opening and closing the door, a certain distance is required between the fisheye joint 54 and the hinge axis, so that a structure similar to a labor-saving lever is formed between the cylinder 52 and the door body 53. Only a small movement of the cylinder 52 can drive a large movement of the door body 53.
[0029] More specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the cylinder 52 includes a cylinder body 521 and a connecting rod 522. The connecting rod 522 is slidably inserted into the cylinder body 521 and connected to the fisheye joint 54. The connecting rod 522 and the cylinder body 521 are connected in a sliding manner. The connecting rod 522 can perform piston motion relative to the cylinder body 521, and cooperate with the hinged connection between the door body 53 and the box body 51 to realize simple, convenient and reliable opening and closing of the door body 53.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control box 5 further includes an electromagnetic suction cup 55, which is installed on the box body 51. When the door body 53 is opened, the electromagnetic suction cup 55 is powered off and separated from the door body 53. When the door body 53 is closed, the electromagnetic suction cup 55 is powered on and connected to the door body 53. The electromagnetic suction cup 55 loses its magnetism when it is powered off and gains magnetism when it is powered on. This characteristic enables it to provide a layer of insurance for the door body 53. When the door body 53 needs to be closed, the electromagnetic suction cup 55 is powered on to adsorb the door body 53 on the box body 51 by magnetic attraction, preventing the door body 53 from being opened due to external forces or other factors. When the door body 53 needs to be opened, the door body 53 can be easily separated from the box body 51 by simply disconnecting the power supply of the electromagnetic suction cup 55. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0031] In addition, it should be noted that, in addition to using the piston cylinder 52 to control the door body 53 to open and close, the temperature control box 5 can also be controlled in other ways, such as a door opening and closing method similar to a bus, and a ball screw moving up and down method. Specifically, as the second embodiment of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the temperature control box 5 adopts the form of a bus switch door to open and close the door body 53, wherein the door body 53 is embedded in the box body 51, and the door body 53 is connected to the box body 51 through a connecting rod with both ends being rotatably connected, and the door body 53 is also connected to the power output end of the cylinder 52 through another connecting rod. The power output end of the cylinder 52 is a rod that rotates around the central axis. As the power output end of the cylinder 52 rotates, the door body 53 is separated from the slotted position of the box body 51, thereby realizing the door opening function. After the material is put into the temperature control box 5 or taken out of the temperature control box 5, the cylinder 52 is driven in reverse to close the door body 53.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple temperature control boxes 5, and the set temperatures of the multiple temperature control boxes 5 are different. Multiple temperature control boxes 5 can be set, and the use parameters of the multiple temperature control boxes 5 are different, so that they can adapt to materials with different requirements and perform appropriate temperature treatment on the materials accordingly.
[0033] In summary, in the temperature control system of the present application, the sample rack 1 is used to place materials, and the first manipulator 2 can automatically transport the materials on the sample rack 1 to the conveyor belt 3. As the conveyor belt 3 continues to move, the materials come to the position of the temperature control box 5, and the second manipulator 4 automatically puts the materials on the conveyor belt 3 into the temperature control box 5, and performs high-temperature or low-temperature treatment on the materials. After treatment, the second manipulator 4 can automatically put the materials back to the conveyor belt 3. When the materials come to the end of the conveyor belt 3, the third manipulator 6 can automatically remove the materials on the conveyor belt 3 and put them into the sample rack 7 for storage. With the help of the coding device 8 and the coding device 8, it can realize automatic identification of materials, automatic loading, automatic opening and closing of the temperature control box 5 door, automatic setting of the temperature and time of the temperature control box 5, automatic unloading and other tasks, realize full process automation, improve production and research and development efficiency, and reduce labor costs.
[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
