[0041] Example 1

[0042] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a labeling mechanism, which includes:

[0043] Mounting block 11;

[0044] The supporting assembly 12 is connected to the mounting block 11 and is used to support or loosen the cap of the mining vessel;

[0045] The label output component 13 is used to print a label and drive the label to be attached to the blood collection tube located in the supporting component 12;

[0046] The rotating assembly 14 is connected to the mounting block 11 and is used to clamp and rotate the blood collection tube located on the supporting assembly 12 so that the label rotates and fits the tube wall of the blood collection tube.

[0047] During specific implementation, a single blood collection tube is placed into the supporting assembly 12 manually or by machine, so that the tube cap of the blood collection tube abuts against the supporting assembly 12 and the tube body of the blood collection tube is in a suspended state; the labeling assembly 13 prints the patient information and examination item information on the label, so that one end of the label adheres to the tube wall of the blood collection tube; the rotating assembly 14 clamps the blood collection tube and drives the blood collection tube to rotate to press the label against the tube wall of the blood collection tube; the rotating assembly 14 loosens the blood collection tube, and the supporting assembly 12 loosens the blood collection tube, so that the blood collection tube falls away from the labeling mechanism.

[0048] The labeling mechanism of this embodiment realizes the support and release of the blood collection tube through the support component 12. By providing the label-discharging component 13 and the rotating component 14, the label is tightly adhered to the tube wall of the blood collection tube under the action of rotation and clamping, thereby realizing automatic labeling of the blood collection tube, greatly improving work efficiency, reducing errors in manual operation, and being suitable for large-scale, high-demand medical testing environments.

[0049] Specifically, the support assembly 12 includes an opening and closing component 121 and two support plates 122. The support plates 122 are movably connected to the top of the mounting block 11. The two support plates 122 are arranged horizontally and side by side, and each side of the two support plates 122 that are close to each other is provided with an arcuate groove 1221. The opening and closing component 121 is connected to the mounting block 11 and is used to drive the two support plates 122 away from or towards each other to loosen or support the blood collection tube. The arcuate groove 1221 is configured to adapt to the wall of the blood collection tube. When the two support plates 122 are close together, the width between the two arcuate grooves 1221 is smaller than the diameter of the blood collection tube cap, allowing the two support plates 122 to support the blood collection tube cap.

[0050] Specifically, the support assembly 12 also includes: two fixed blocks 123 and at least two support shafts 124; the two fixed blocks 123 are respectively connected to the two support plates 122; the support shafts 124 are arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the length direction of the support plates 122; the support shafts 124 are sequentially inserted into the two fixed blocks 123, and both ends of the support shafts 124 are fixedly connected to the mounting block 11. In this embodiment, the length direction of the support plate 122 is the direction extending from the arcuate groove 1221 of the support plate 122 to the end away from the arcuate groove 1221. The two fixed blocks 123 slide along the support shafts 124. When the distance between the two fixed blocks 123 increases, the two support plates 122 move away from each other. When the distance between the two fixed blocks 123 decreases, the two support plates 122 move closer to each other.

[0051] Specifically, return springs (not shown) are sleeved around each end of the support shaft 124, and the two ends of the return springs respectively abut against the fixed block 123 and the mounting block 11. When the two fixed blocks 123 are subjected to external force, the two support plates 122 move away from each other, thereby releasing the blood collection tube. When the two fixed blocks 123 are not subjected to external force, the force of the return springs returns the two fixed blocks 123 to a state of being close to each other, improving the convenience of subsequent placement and labeling of the blood collection tube.

[0052] Specifically, the opening and closing component 121 includes a supporting member 1211, which is slidably connected to the top of the mounting block 11. The supporting member 1211 is located on the side of the support plate 122 away from the arcuate groove 1221 and is disposed between the two support plates 122. The supporting member 1211 is used to adjust the distance between the two support plates 122. By adjusting the distance between the two support plates 122, the supporting member 1211 changes the opening and closing state of the two support plates 122, thereby controlling the support or drop of the blood collection tube.

[0053] Specifically, the abutment 1211 comprises a tip portion 12111 and an expansion portion 12112. The expansion portion 12112 is located at the end of the tip portion 12111 away from the arcuate groove 1221, and the width of the expansion portion 12112 is greater than that of the tip portion 12111. During implementation, an external force drives the abutment 1211 into the space between the two fixed blocks 123. The tip portion 12111 or the expansion portion 12112 abuts the inner wall of the two fixed blocks 123 on the side closest to each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two fixed blocks 123. When the abutment 1211 slides until the tip portion 12111 abuts the two fixed blocks 123, the distance between the two fixed blocks 123 is reduced, allowing the cap of the blood collection tube to be supported. When the abutment 1211 slides until the expansion portion 12112 abuts the two fixed blocks 123, the distance between the two fixed blocks 123 is increased, loosening the blood collection tube and allowing it to fall and leave the labeling mechanism.

[0054] Specifically, the opening and closing component 121 further includes:

[0055] The first guide rail 1212 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 11 and extends along the length direction of the supporting plate 122;

[0056] The first movable block 1213 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 1212; the supporting member 1211 is fixedly connected to the first movable block 1213;

[0057] The first rack 1214 is fixedly connected to the side of the first movable block 1213 away from the arc-shaped groove 1221 and extends along the length direction of the supporting plate 122;

[0058] The first gear 1215 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 11; the first rack 1214 and the first gear 1215 are meshed with each other;

[0059] The first driving member 1216 is used to drive the first gear 1215 to rotate.

[0060] The first driving member 1216 drives the first gear 1215 to rotate, the first gear 1215 drives the first rack 1214 to move along the length direction of the support plate 122, the first rack 1214 drives the first movable block 1213 to move along the first guide rail 1212, and the first movable block 1213 drives the supporting member 1211 to move along the length direction of the support plate 122, so that the tip 12111 or the expansion part 12112 of the supporting member 1211 abuts against the two fixed blocks 123, and the two fixed blocks 123 drive the two support plates 122 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0061] Specifically, the rotating assembly 14 includes:

[0062] The first roller 141 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting block 11 and is located on the side of the arc-shaped groove 1221 close to the opening and closing component 121;

[0063] The second driving member 142 is used to drive the first roller 141 to rotate;

[0064] The second movable block 143 is slidably connected to the mounting block 11 and is located on a side of the arc-shaped slot 1221 away from the coupling member 121 .

[0065] During implementation, the second movable block 143 moves toward the first roller 141 and cooperates with the first roller 141 to press against the blood collection tube from both sides. The second driving member 142 drives the first roller 141 to rotate, causing the blood collection tube to rotate under the friction of the first roller 141. The blood collection tube rotates to the labeling position directly opposite the label output assembly 13 and stops rotating. The label output assembly 13 prints the label and attaches it to the tube wall. The second driving member 142 drives the first roller 141 to rotate, allowing the label to enter between the first roller 141 and the tube wall. The first roller 141 presses the label tightly against the tube wall. The label is pressed against the tube wall by the first roller 141, achieving automated labeling of the blood collection tube.

[0066] Preferably, the second movable block 143 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 1212 and is connected to the first movable block 1213. The second movable block 143 and the first movable block 1213 share the first guide rail 1212 and the first driving member 1216, which saves the cost of the labeling mechanism, makes the labeling mechanism compact, and improves the space utilization of the mounting block 11.

[0067] Specifically, the rotating assembly 14 also includes two second rollers 144, which are arranged in parallel and rotatably connected to a second movable block 143. The second movable block 143 moves closer to or further from the first roller 141, allowing the first roller 141 and the two second rollers 144 to clamp or release the blood collection tube. The two second rollers 144 provide a stable triangular clamping space for the blood collection tube, preventing uneven force on the tube during rotation that could cause it to eccentrically attach, ensuring consistent label placement and improving labeling quality. The second rollers 144 enhance the tube's rotational flexibility, reduce rotational resistance, and improve labeling efficiency to a certain extent. Furthermore, they reduce friction between the tube wall and the second movable block 143, preventing damage to the tube and ensuring the reliability and safety of medical testing. It is understood that in other embodiments, rollers, bearings, or other friction-reducing structures may be used in place of the second rollers 144, depending on actual needs.

[0068] Specifically, the labeling mechanism also includes an edge detector 15 for detecting the edge of the original label on the blood collection tube, allowing the label dispensing assembly 13 to actuate a new label to attach and overlay the original label. Preferably, the edge detector 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 11 and located on the side of the second movable block 143 away from the first roller 141. The second movable block 143 is provided with a central hole extending therethrough, and the output end of the edge detector 15 is positioned corresponding to the central hole. In practice, the rotating assembly 14 rotates the blood collection tube, causing the edge detector 15 to detect the edge of the original label. The edge detector 15 then sends a signal to the label dispensing assembly 13, causing it to print a label and attach it to the edge of the original label. The rotating assembly 14 then overlays the original label.

[0069] Specifically, the labeling mechanism also includes an infrared detector 16 for detecting the presence of a blood collection tube on the support assembly 12. The infrared detector 16's transmitting and receiving ends face directly above the arcuate slot 1221. When the infrared detector 16 detects the presence of a blood collection tube on the support assembly 12, it sends a signal to the rotating assembly 14 and the edge-finding detector 15, which perform an edge-finding operation on the original label to facilitate subsequent labeling operations.

[0070] In this embodiment, the label output component 13 is an existing label printing structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Specifically, the labeling mechanism also includes a transfer assembly 25, which is used to drive the blood collection tubes horizontally away from the labeling mechanism. 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 transfer frame 251 is positioned below the mounting block 11, the third roller assembly 253 is horizontally mounted and rotatably connected to the transfer frame 251, and the third conveyor belt 252 is sleeved onto the third roller assembly 253. When the blood collection tubes are dropped from the labeling mechanism, they are in a vertical position. When the bottom of the blood collection tubes contacts the rotating third conveyor belt 252, the inertia causes the tubes to fall and are then transported by the third conveyor belt 252 to the next station.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first driving member 1216, the second driving member 142, and the sixth driving member 254 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.

[0073] A labeling mechanism of this embodiment realizes the support and release of the blood collection tube through the support component. By providing a label-discharging component and a rotating component, the label is tightly adhered to the tube wall of the blood collection tube under the action of rotation and clamping, thereby realizing automatic labeling of the blood collection tube, greatly improving work efficiency, reducing errors in manual operation, and being suitable for large-scale, high-demand medical testing environments.

[0074] The above examples are merely used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention for easier understanding by the reader. However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention.
