[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The utility model provides a kind of material distribution pipe loading device, comprising:

[0040] Reference installation platform 1, reference installation platform 1 bottom one end is fixedly connected with clean material hopper 11;

[0041] The test tube arrangement mechanism 2 comprises a vertical fence 21 fixed on the top of the reference installation platform 1, and a follow-up sprocket assembly 25 is arranged on one end of the outer wall of the vertical fence 21. A servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the other end of the vertical fence 21 on the same side as the follow-up sprocket assembly 25. The driving shaft of the servo motor 22 penetrates the vertical fence 21 and is fixedly connected with a sprocket. The sprocket is meshingly connected with a chain, and the chain is externally provided with a corresponding test tube groove assembly 23.

[0042] A group of photoelectric sensors are installed on the vertical fence 21 for detecting whether the test tube is present.

[0043] In this embodiment, the test tube groove assembly 23 is a chain plate, which can also be replaced by a multi-groove synchronous belt, etc. They can be installed with the chain to facilitate the accommodation and transportation of the test tube.

[0044] The test tube arrangement mechanism 2 comprises a vertical fence 21 fixed on the top of the reference installation platform 1, and a follow-up sprocket assembly 25 is arranged on one end of the outer wall of the vertical fence 21. A servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the other end of the vertical fence 21 on the same side as the follow-up sprocket assembly 25. The driving shaft of the servo motor 22 penetrates the vertical fence 21 and is fixedly connected with a sprocket. The sprocket is meshingly connected with a chain, and the chain is externally provided with a corresponding test tube groove assembly 23.

[0045] The distribution hopper 3 comprises a back plate fixed on the top of the vertical fence 21, and a hopper motor 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the back plate. The driving shaft of the hopper motor 35 penetrates the back plate and is fixedly connected with an inlet tube wheel 31. A first lower tube wheel 32 and a second lower tube wheel 33 are arranged on one side of the back plate. The second lower tube wheel 33 is provided with a lower tube slide 34 at the bottom.

[0046] The first driven sprocket 37 and the second driven sprocket 38 are arranged on the side of the back plate corresponding to the first lower tube wheel 32 and the second lower tube wheel 33. The first driven sprocket 37 and the second driven sprocket 38 are provided with a tensioning wheel 36 at the bottom. The tensioning wheel 36, the first driven sprocket 37 and the second driven sprocket 38 are connected with the follow-up sprocket assembly 25 through the chain. The follow-up sprocket assembly 25 is connected through the chain, so that the first lower tube wheel 32 and the second lower tube wheel 33 and the test tube arrangement mechanism 2 can rotate synchronously.

[0047] The first lower tube wheel 32 and the second lower tube wheel 33 are the same shape and size, and are connected through the chain. Under the drive of the follow-up sprocket assembly 25, the first lower tube wheel 32 can be forward rotated and the second lower tube wheel 33 can be synchronously reversed. The first lower tube wheel 32 and the second lower tube wheel 33 can be integrally formed or assembled in multiple pieces.

[0048] The tube loading slide assembly 4 comprises slide vertical plates 42 and test tube sliding blocks 43, four horizontal rods are fixedly connected inside the slide vertical plates 42 and the test tube sliding blocks 43, adjacent two slide vertical plates 42 are provided with a tube falling detection assembly 41 at the bottom, and adjacent two slide vertical plates 42 are provided with a tube loading guide block 44 at the top.

[0049] The outer surface of the test tube sliding block 43 is arc-shaped, which facilitates test tube unloading, and the test tube sliding block 43 is provided with 20 test tubes, the number of which is determined according to the number of holes of the tool carrier to be loaded.

[0050] The tube falling detection assembly 41 comprises a tube rack 411 fixed to the bottom of the slide vertical plate 42, a through hole is formed in each vertical surface of the tube rack 411, and a corresponding reflection sensor is arranged at the end of the tube rack 411, so as to detect whether a test tube passes through, if a test tube is stuck during falling, the reflection sensor signal will change, and the host computer will be prompted to alarm.

[0051] Working principle: the test tubes are manually loaded into the distributing hopper 3, or are conveyed to the inlet of the tube feeding wheel 31 by other equipment, and the hopper motor 35 is started to drive the tube feeding wheel 31 to rotate and send the test tubes into the hopper.

[0052] When the hopper is loaded to a certain number and the tool carrier below the tube loading slide assembly 4 reaches the tube loading position, the servo motor 22 of the test tube arrangement mechanism 2 is started to drive the follow-up sprocket assembly 25 and the first tube wheel 32 to rotate clockwise, and the second tube wheel 33 to rotate counterclockwise, and the test tube groove assembly 23 is driven by the sprocket and chain to move from right to left.

[0053] When the first tube wheel 32 rotates clockwise, the test tubes enter the tube slide 34 due to gravity and the pushing force, at the same time, the second tube wheel 33 rotates counterclockwise to push the excess test tubes away from the tube slide 34, so that other test tubes can smoothly enter the tube slide 34, and the test tubes in the tube slide 34 fall into the test tube groove assembly 23 due to gravity and the pushing of the subsequent test tubes, and the test tube groove assembly 23 on the chain is driven by the servo motor 22 of the test tube arrangement mechanism 2 to move from right to left.

[0054] When the 20 test tubes move to the position aligned with the tube loading slide assembly 4, the servo motor 22 stops, the horizontal push cylinder 242 of the tube pushing assembly 24 drives the up-down cylinder 243 and the multi-tooth push rod 244 to move forward, and the multi-tooth push rod 244 pushes the test tubes on the test tube groove assembly 23 into the tube loading slide assembly 4.

[0055] The up-down cylinder 243 of the tube pushing assembly 24 drives the multi-tooth push rod 244 to move upward, and after avoiding the test tube groove assembly 23, the horizontal push cylinder 242 moves backward to return to the original position of pushing the tube.

[0056] After the test tubes pass through the tube loading guide block 44, they fall along the tube loading slide assembly 4, pass through the tube falling detection assembly 41, and enter the tooling carrier. If a test tube is stuck during the falling process, the signal of the reflection sensor on the tube falling detection assembly 41 will change, prompting the host computer to alarm. If the loading is successful, the previous action is repeated according to the above sequence of work processes until the tooling carrier is full.

[0057] In addition, the tube loading wheel 31 of different sizes can be replaced to quickly switch to test tubes of different diameters, such as 13 tubes and 16 tubes.

[0058] Although the utility model has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various improvements can be made and equivalent parts can be replaced without departing from the scope of the utility model. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed by the utility model can be combined in any way, and the combinations are not exhaustively described in the specification only for the purpose of saving space and resources. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
