The box placing slot is arranged horizontally relative to the conveyor belt, and one end of the box placing slot is provided with an inlet and outlet for the test reagent box to enter and exit, and the other end is adapted to the small end of the test reagent box.

[0004] However, the structural arrangement of the above device has the following problems during use:

[0005] The above-mentioned device transports the test kit through a conveyor carrier, and the conveyor carrier array is set on the conveyor belt. In order to improve the structural strength of the conveyor carrier and facilitate the subsequent filling and packaging of the test kit in the conveyor carrier, the conveyor carrier is generally made of metal. However, during the transportation of the metal conveyor carrier, two adjacent conveyor carriers will collide, and the collision of the metal conveyor carriers will make noise, especially when multiple conveyor carriers in the entire production line collide, the sound is relatively noisy, causing noise pollution.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vehicle that can ensure structural strength and avoid noise pollution. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the present disclosure is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a split carrier and a reagent kit transporting device for transporting a reagent kit that can ensure structural strength and avoid noise pollution.

[0008] The purpose of this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, a more comprehensive description of the present disclosure will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure.

[0028] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation methods.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this disclosure are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] The present disclosure provides a split carrier for transporting a test kit, comprising a carrier body, wherein the carrier body comprises a plastic base and a metal upper base, wherein the metal upper base is detachably connected to the plastic base, wherein the metal upper base is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the test kit, wherein the periphery of the plastic base protrudes from the periphery of the metal upper base so that the plastic base contacts an adjacent carrier when the carrier body is transported; wherein a friction strip is protruding from the bottom of the plastic base for contacting a conveyor belt, and wherein both ends of the friction strip are provided with an inclined surface structure.

[0031] The above-mentioned split carrier for transporting the test kit has a metal upper seat with a receiving groove for receiving the test kit, and the periphery of the plastic base protrudes from the periphery of the metal upper seat. In this way, when the carrier body is transported by the conveyor belt, if two adjacent carrier bodies collide, the two plastic bases will contact first. Since the plastic base is made of non-metallic material, there will be no crisp sound when two adjacent plastic bases collide, thus reducing noise pollution. At the same time, the metal upper seat ensures the structural strength of the carrier body. Since the metal upper seat and the plastic base are detachably connected, the metal upper seat and the plastic base are easy to disassemble and assemble, so that when the plastic base is greatly worn, the replacement and installation of the plastic base are more convenient. Furthermore, the base of the carrier body is made of plastic material, which effectively reduces the weight of the carrier body compared to the traditional metal base, and a friction strip is provided at the bottom of the plastic base, and an inclined surface structure is provided at both ends of the friction strip to increase the friction between the plastic base and the conveyor belt, so as to better transport the carrier body.

[0032] In order to better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a split carrier 10 for transporting reagent kits in one embodiment includes a carrier body 100, which includes a plastic base 110 and a metal upper base 120. The metal upper base 120 is detachably connected to the plastic base 110. The metal upper base 120 is provided with a receiving groove 121 for receiving the reagent kit. The periphery of the plastic base 110 protrudes from the periphery of the metal upper base 120, that is, the plastic base 110 surrounds and covers the metal upper base 120, so that the plastic base 110 contacts the adjacent carriers during transportation. Furthermore, a friction strip 112 is protruded from the bottom of the plastic base 110. The friction strip 112 is used to contact the conveyor belt. Both ends of the friction strip 112 are provided with an inclined surface structure 113. The inclined surface structure 113 is adapted to the conveyor belt structure. The friction strip 112 abuts against the conveyor belt to increase the friction between the friction strip 112 and the conveyor belt.

[0034] In this embodiment, the metal upper seat 120 is provided with a receiving groove 121, which is used to receive the reagent chamber 121. The metal upper seat 120 is made of metal to ensure the structural strength of the upper seat during the processing of the reagent chamber. The plastic base 110 is made of plastic, and the periphery of the plastic base 110 is protruding from the periphery of the metal upper seat 120, that is, the plastic base 110 surrounds and covers the metal upper seat 120. In this way, when the conveying device is conveying multiple carrier bodies 100, if two adjacent carrier bodies 100 collide, the two adjacent plastic bases 110 will contact first, that is, the two adjacent metal upper seats 120 will not collide. Since the plastic base 110 is made of non-metallic material, no crisp sound will occur when the two adjacent plastic bases 110 collide, thereby avoiding noise pollution caused during production line transportation.

[0035] The above-mentioned split carrier 10 for transporting the test kit has a metal upper base 120 with a accommodating groove 121, which is used to accommodate the test kit. The periphery of the plastic base 110 protrudes from the periphery of the metal upper base 120. In this way, when the carrier body 100 is transported by the conveyor belt, if two adjacent carrier bodies 100 collide, the two plastic bases 110 will contact first. Since the plastic base 110 is made of non-metallic material, the collision of two adjacent plastic bases 110 will not make a crisp sound, thereby reducing noise pollution. At the same time, the metal upper base 120 ensures the structural strength of the carrier body 100; since the metal upper base 120 and the plastic base 110 are detachably connected, the disassembly and assembly of the metal upper base 120 and the plastic base 110 is facilitated, so that when the plastic base 110 is severely worn, the replacement and installation operations of the plastic base 110 are more convenient. Furthermore, the base of the carrier body 100 is made of plastic, which effectively reduces the weight of the carrier body 100 compared to the traditional metal base, and a friction strip 112 is provided at the bottom of the plastic base 110, and an inclined structure 113 is provided at both ends of the friction strip 112 to increase the friction between the plastic base 110 and the conveyor belt, so as to better transport the carrier body 100.

[0036] In one embodiment, the metal upper base is an aluminum upper base. In this embodiment, the metal upper base is made of aluminum to ensure the structural strength of the metal upper base. Of course, in other embodiments, the metal upper base can also be made of other metal materials such as copper and iron.

[0037] In one embodiment, the plastic base is a polyoxymethylene base. In this embodiment, the plastic base is made of polyoxymethylene material, also known as "Saigang" in the industry, which is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer with advantages such as high hardness, strong heat resistance, high corrosion resistance, and easy processing.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the carrier body 100 further includes a fastener (not shown). The plastic base 110 is provided with a first connection hole 111, and the metal upper base 120 is provided with a second connection hole (not shown). The first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole are correspondingly arranged. The fastener passes through the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole in sequence to secure the plastic base 110 and the metal upper base 120 via the fastener. In this embodiment, the fastener is a screw, which passes through the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole in correspondence, so that the plastic base 110 and the metal upper base 120 are screwed together for easy assembly and disassembly. In other embodiments, the fastener may also be a pin.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple fasteners, multiple first connection holes 111 and multiple second connection holes, and each fastener passes through each first connection hole 111 and each second connection hole. In this embodiment, multiple first connection holes 111 are spaced apart around the periphery of the plastic base 110, and correspondingly, multiple second connection holes are spaced apart around the periphery of the metal upper base 120. Each fastener passes through each first connection hole 111 and each second connection hole, thereby making the connection between the metal upper base 120 and the plastic base 110 more stable.

[0040] In another embodiment, the bottom of the metal upper base is provided with a protruding engaging post, and the plastic base is provided with an engaging groove, wherein the engaging post is embedded in the engaging groove to engage the metal upper base with the plastic base. In this embodiment, the metal upper base is engaged with the engaging groove via the engaging post, and the engaging post is in interference fit with the groove wall of the engaging groove, thereby engaging the metal upper base with the plastic base, thereby facilitating assembly and disassembly of the metal upper base and the plastic base.

[0041] In one embodiment, there are a plurality of the clamping posts and a plurality of the clamping slots, and the clamping posts and the clamping slots are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. It is understood that the plurality of clamping posts are spaced apart around the periphery of the metal upper base, and correspondingly, the plurality of clamping slots are spaced apart around the periphery of the plastic base, with each clamping post interferingly snapping into a corresponding clamping slot to further secure the connection between the metal upper base and the plastic base.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the metal upper seat 120 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart retaining openings 122 on its periphery. The retaining openings 122 are connected to the receiving groove 121 and are used to allow the working end of the assembly equipment to pass through. It is understood that the conveying device transports the reagent kits in the jig to various workstations for assembly, filling, and packaging. The working end of the assembly equipment acts on the reagent kits through the retaining openings 122 to complete the operation of each process.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the friction strips 112 is multiple, and the multiple friction strips 112 are spaced apart along the length direction of the plastic base 110. In this embodiment, the multiple friction strips 112 are spaced apart along the length direction of the plastic base 110 to further increase the friction between the plastic base 110 and the conveyor belt, thereby better conveying the carrier body 100.

[0044] The present application also provides a reagent kit delivery device, comprising the split carrier 10 for delivering the reagent kit as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0046] The split carrier 10 for transporting the test kit has a metal upper base 120 with a receiving groove 121 for receiving the test kit. The periphery of the plastic base 110 protrudes from the periphery of the metal upper base 120. In this way, when the carrier body 100 is transported by the conveyor belt, if two adjacent carrier bodies 100 collide, the two plastic bases 110 will contact first. Since the plastic base 110 is made of non-metallic material, the collision of two adjacent plastic bases 110 will not produce a crisp sound, thus reducing noise pollution. At the same time, the metal upper base 120 ensures the structural strength of the carrier body 100. Since the metal upper base 120 and the plastic base 110 are detachably connected, the metal upper base 120 and the plastic base 110 are easy to disassemble and assemble, so that when the plastic base 110 is severely worn, the replacement and installation of the plastic base 110 are more convenient. Furthermore, the base of the carrier body 100 is made of plastic material, which effectively reduces the weight of the carrier body 100 compared to traditional metal bases.

[0047] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present disclosure. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art could make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
