The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4 FIG. 1 shows an integrated system for blood sample mixing and code scanning in one embodiment of the present invention, comprising a multi-directional moving device 100, a support 200 connected to the multi-directional moving device 100, and a code scanning component 300 and a mixing component 400 disposed on the support 200. The multi-directional moving device 100 is used to drive the support 200 to perform reciprocating motion in multiple directions, so that the code scanning component 300 and the mixing component 400 move closer to or away from the test tube.

[0033] The barcode scanning assembly 300 includes a clamping member 310, a flexible rotating member 320, and a barcode scanner 330. The first portion 311 of the clamping member 310 is used to clamp the test tube. The second portion 312 of the clamping member 310 is connected to the flexible rotating member 320. At least a portion of the flexible rotating member 320 extends beyond the edge of the second portion 312 and into the first portion 311. When the first portion 311 clamps the test tube, part of the flexible rotating member 320 abuts against part of the side wall of the test tube.

[0034] The scanning port of the code scanner 330 is used to face the test tube. By rotating the flexible rotating member 320, part of the side wall of the flexible rotating member 320 drives the test tube to rotate, so that the code scanner 330 scans the target information on the test tube.

[0035] In an embodiment, by integrating the mixing component 400 and the code scanning component 300 into one system, when the test tube is mixed, the target information on the test tube can be scanned in time by the code scanning component 300, so that the test tube can be mixed without holding the test tube and the code scanning gun, and the target information on the test tube can be scanned after the mixing is completed. Compared with the operation method of mixing and scanning the test tube in the prior art, the integrated system of blood sample mixing and code scanning provided by the utility model can realize the completion of two operations at the same time in one functional position, greatly improving the efficiency of automatic mixing and code scanning, and reducing the operational failure rate.

[0036] Specifically, when mixing the test tube, the test tube is first mixed by the mixing component 400 in this embodiment, and it should be noted that when the test tube is in the mixing process, the test tube will be clamped by the clamping member 310 first, and during the clamping process, part of the side wall of the test tube will squeeze the side wall of the flexible rotating member 320, then by rotating the flexible rotating member 320, the flexible rotating member 320 drives the test tube to rotate, and the barcode scanner 330 can scan the target information on the test tube.

[0037] It should be noted that in the prior art, the target information on the test tube, specifically the identity barcode that records the patient information on the test tube, is specifically in the shape of a long strip, and in order to facilitate clamping the test tube, the first part 311 in this embodiment can be a C-shaped opening and have a certain elastic function.

[0038] See also Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate mixing of the test tubes, in this embodiment, the bracket 200 includes a fixed frame 210 and a mounting support 220 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 210, wherein the code scanning component 300 is arranged on the mounting support 220, the fixed frame 210 is connected to the multi-directional moving device 100, and the mixing component 400 includes a first driving member 410, and at least two transmission members 420 that are connected to each other, and the two transmission members 420 are respectively connected to the fixed frame 210 and the mounting support 220, and the first driving member 410 is connected to a transmission member 420 away from the mounting support 220, so as to drive the transmission member 420 close to the mounting support 220 to drive the mounting support 220 to rotate.

[0039] When driving the test tube to mix, a transmission member 420 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 410, and the other transmission member 420 will drive the mounting support 220 to rotate relative to the fixed frame 210. Since the code scanning component 300 in this embodiment is arranged on the mounting support 220, that is, the clamping member 310 is also located on the mounting support 220, the test tube is mixed by the overall rotation of the mounting support 220. It should be noted that in some preferred embodiments, the first driving member 410 can be a servo motor in the prior art, that is, through the first driving member 410, the mounting support 220 can be in a state of shaking left and right.

[0040] In some other preferred embodiments, the shaking speed of the test tube can be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the first driving member 410, so that the mixing component 400 provided in this embodiment can mix any blood sample to improve the practicality of the system, and the two transmission members 420 in this embodiment can use the method of driving gear and driven gear to transmit the power source.

[0041] See also Figure 4 In order to facilitate driving the test tube to rotate, the first part 311 of the clamping member 310 is provided with rollers 313 relative to the two inner walls, and the code scanning component 300 also includes a second driving member 340, the second driving member 340 is arranged on the bracket 200, and the output end of the second driving member 340 is connected to the flexible rotating member 320 for driving the flexible rotating member 320 to rotate.

[0042] That is, in this embodiment, the roller 313 can assist the test tube in rotating, and the second driving member 340 can also be a servo motor. That is, when the test tube is mixed, the second driving member 340 is started to rotate the test tube, so as to complete the scanning of the target information.

[0045] Specifically, the first movable assembly 110 includes a first fixed seat 111, a transmission rod 112 rotatably connected to the first fixed seat 111, and a first sliding block 113 transmission-connected to the transmission rod 112, wherein the first sliding block 113 is connected to the second movable assembly 120, and by rotating the transmission rod 112, the first sliding block 113 reciprocates along the length direction of the transmission rod 112 to drive the second movable assembly 120 to move radially.

[0046] The second moving assembly 120 includes a second fixed seat 121, a transmission belt 122 rotatably connected to the second fixed seat 121, and a second sliding block 123 connected to the transmission belt 122; the second fixed seat 121 is connected to the first fixed seat 111, and the transmission belt 122 is used to drive the second sliding block 123 to move along the axial direction, wherein the second sliding block 123 is connected to the fixed frame 210

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the components in the first movable component 110 and the second movable component 120 do not limit the structure of the first movable component 110 and the second movable component 120. Other structures may be adopted. For example, the components in the first movable component 110 and the components in the second movable component 120 can be replaced with each other.

[0048] Specifically, the transmission rod 112 and the first sliding block 113 in this embodiment can be composed of a screw slider in the prior art.

[0049] Through the first moving component 110 and the second moving component 120, the mixing component 400 and the code scanning component 300 provided in this embodiment can be moved in real time according to actual conditions, and the mixing component 400 and the code scanning component 300 and the bracket 200 provided in this embodiment can be installed in external automation equipment.
