The bracket 1 is detachably connected to the workbench 3, a conveyor belt 2 is arranged above the bracket 1, and a code scanner 14 is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the bracket 1; a motor 0 is arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 2 to control the operation of the conveyor belt 2, and an inclined track 11 is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 2 to connect to the sorting tray 5; a motor 1 is arranged at the lower part of the sorting tray 5 to control the rotation of the sorting tray 5, and separate storage grids 8 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the sorting tray 5 to store different specimen containers, and a turbine-shaped through groove is arranged inside each storage grid. The entrance of the vortex through groove is the same and is movably connected to the end of the inclined track 11, the center position of the storage grid entrance is rotatably connected to the dividing plate 9, and an electromagnet 15 is arranged at the entrance of the storage grid to movably connect the dividing plate 9; push plates 17 are arranged at both ends of the dividing plate 9, and electromagnets 15 are arranged on both sides of the dividing plate.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 2 is a symmetrically arranged conveyor belt, and the adjacent intervals of the symmetrically arranged conveyor belts are the same as the inner diameter of the specimen container. The motor 1 provides power to start the conveyor belt 2; the specimen 4 is placed on the conveyor belt 2 and is firmly fixed by the conveyor belt 2; the conveyor belt continuously moves the specimen 4 forward, thereby transporting the specimen 4 forward to the inclined track 11. A switch for controlling the power supply and running speed of the conveyor belt is provided on the bracket, and the conveyor belt is controlled according to different working requirements; a barcode scanner is provided on the bracket near a section of the inclined track. When the specimen is transported in front of the barcode scanner, the barcode scanner scans the QR code on the specimen bottle body, and after judging the specimen type, the electromagnet 15 is controlled to adsorb the dividing plate 9 to form a channel for the specimen to enter the storage grid; the conveyor belt 2 uses a rubber conveyor belt, which can be replaced by a plastic conveyor belt;

[0029] In this embodiment, the inclined track 11 uses an aluminum alloy medical track. When the conveyor belt 2 transports the specimen 4 to the inclined track 11, the specimen 4 moves forward under the action of gravity and slides to the entrance of the sorting tray 5. The electromagnet 15 is controlled according to the scanning result of the barcode scanner 14 to adsorb the sorting piece 9 for sorting, thereby solving the problems of low efficiency and complex sorting process in the existing technology, long sorting and transportation path, and low work efficiency.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] In this embodiment, the sorting tray 5 is disc-shaped and evenly divided into four storage compartments for storing different specimens. The storage compartments are turbine-shaped through slots. The specimens are transported by the conveyor belt 2 and the inclined track 11 to the entrance of the sorting tray. After being identified by the barcode scanner 14, the electromagnet 15 is controlled to adsorb the dividing plate 9 to form a channel for the specimen to enter the storage compartment. Two entrances to different storage compartments are symmetrically arranged, and dividing plates and push plates are provided at the entrances. After the barcode scanner 14 identifies the QR code on the bottle body of the specimen 4, the sorting tray is controlled to rotate according to different specimen types to facilitate the transfer of the specimens into the corresponding storage compartments.

[0032] In this embodiment, the dividing plate 9 is movably connected to the sorting tray 5, and the two dividing plates are symmetrically installed. A push plate 18 is movably connected to the end of the dividing plate 9. When the specimen enters the entrance of the sorting tray 5, the corresponding magnet is energized to attract the dividing plate 9, forming an on-off channel at the entrance, ensuring that the specimen 4 can normally enter the storage grid of the sorting tray 5. After the specimen enters the sorting tray 5, the current electromagnet loses power and the adjacent grid electromagnet is energized to control the rotation of the dividing plate 9. The push plate 18 at the end of the dividing plate 9 pushes the specimen entering the storage grid forward, thereby achieving rapid sorting of the specimen.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] In this embodiment, the barcode scanner is an existing technology, and for details, please refer to the Symbol DS4308-HC medical barcode scanner: this barcode scanner can scan various barcodes, including one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes, as well as electronic barcodes or barcodes printed on paper labels.

[0035] In summary, the utility model discloses an automatic sorting and classification storage device for medical test specimens. By arranging a barcode scanner on a bracket, a sorting plate is actuated in advance according to the scanning result of the barcode scanner. When the specimen arrives at the sorting tray, it can directly enter the storage compartment, which can make the sorting process more continuous and improve the sorting efficiency. After the specimen enters the channel, a push plate movably connected to the rear end of the sorting plate is used to push the specimen to move, so the sorting speed is extremely fast and the sorting accuracy is high.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to only the specific implementation methods described.
