Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reaction cup transfer technology, and in particular to a track-type anti-jamming cup transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] Chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers offer advantages such as high accuracy, high sensitivity, short detection time, wide detection range, and no contamination, and are currently widely used in laboratory research and hospital clinical diagnosis. The reaction cup transport system is used to move reaction cups to different locations to complete corresponding detection tasks. However, during the transport of reaction cups, especially when there are simultaneous X, Y, and Z-axis positional differences between the initial and target positions, problems such as cup jamming and damage can easily occur, severely affecting the equipment's working efficiency and overall stability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a track-type anti-jamming cup transfer device, which can be implemented using the following technical solution:
[0004] The track-type anti-jamming cup transfer device of this utility model includes a receiving cavity composed of a support tray and a top cover; the top cover is provided with a reaction cup placement hole and a first spiral guide groove connected thereto, and a floating cup pressing mechanism is provided near the outlet of the first spiral guide groove; the support tray is provided with a second spiral guide groove and a reaction cup discharge hole, the second spiral guide groove is corresponding to the first spiral guide groove, and the starting end of the second spiral guide groove corresponds to the floating cup pressing mechanism, and the second spiral guide groove terminates at the reaction cup discharge hole; a motor-driven rotating cup transfer plate is provided in the receiving cavity, and the cup transfer plate is provided with multiple radial sorting grooves; the reaction cup located in the radial sorting groove rotates along the support tray and the second spiral guide groove under the action of the first spiral guide groove and the floating cup pressing mechanism until it leaves the receiving cavity from the reaction cup discharge hole.
[0005] The floating pressure cup mechanism includes a pressure block inserted into a first spiral guide groove. Linear bearings are provided on both sides of the pressure block, and the linear bearings are slidably connected to a guide rod provided on the upper cover.
[0006] The bottom of the pressure block is a first inclined surface that gradually descends along the direction of movement of the reaction cup. The starting end of the second spiral guide groove is a second inclined surface with the same slope as the first inclined surface. The area between the second inclined surface and the discharge hole of the reaction cup is a planar structure with the same height as the end of the second inclined surface.

[0012] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0013] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the track-type anti-jamming cup transfer device of this utility model includes a receiving cavity composed of a tray 1 and a top cover 2.
[0014] The upper cover 2 is provided with a reaction cup placement hole 3 and a first spiral guide groove 4 connected thereto. A floating pressure cup mechanism 5 is provided near the outlet of the first spiral guide groove 4.
[0015] The tray 1 is provided with a second spiral guide groove 6 and a reaction cup discharge hole 7. The second spiral guide groove 6 is provided in correspondence with the first spiral guide groove 4, and the starting end of the second spiral guide groove 6 corresponds to the floating pressure cup mechanism 5. The second spiral guide groove 6 ends at the reaction cup discharge hole 7.
[0016] A transfer plate 8 is provided inside the receiving cavity. The transfer plate 8 is driven to rotate by a motor 9 located below the support tray 1. Multiple radial sorting grooves 10 are evenly arranged on the transfer plate 8. The top of the reaction cup located in the radial sorting groove 10 is connected to the first spiral guide groove 4 and the bottom is connected to the support tray 1. It is fed in through the reaction cup placement hole 3, rotates along the first spiral guide groove 4, and leaves the receiving cavity through the reaction cup discharge hole 7.
[0017] The aforementioned floating cup pressing mechanism 5 includes a pressing block 51 inserted into the first spiral guide groove 4, and linear bearings 52 are provided on both sides of the pressing block 51. The linear bearings 52 are slidably connected to the guide rod 53 provided on the upper cover 2.
[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressure block 51 is a first inclined surface m1 that gradually falls along the direction of movement of the reaction cup, the starting end of the second spiral guide groove 6 is a second inclined surface m2 with the same slope as the first inclined surface m1, and the second inclined surface m2 and the reaction cup discharge hole 7 are a planar structure n with the same height as the end of the second inclined surface m2.
[0019] During operation, the reaction cup is fed into the radial sorting groove 10 through the reaction cup placement hole 3. As the cup transfer plate 8 rotates, the reaction cup moves along the first spiral guide groove 4 on the support tray 1 under the action of centrifugal force. When it enters the second spiral guide groove 6, the reaction cup falls along the second inclined plane m2. Under the action of gravity, the pressure block 51 moves down along the guide rod 53 and always presses on the top of the reaction cup, so that its bottom can be in close contact with the second spiral guide groove 6, and continues to move forward along the second spiral guide groove 6 until it leaves the receiving cavity from the reaction cup discharge hole 7.
[0020] This invention requires fewer parts and is easy to assemble. Only one motor is needed to provide driving force to realize the transfer and up-and-down movement of the reaction cup from the inside to the outside, and the whole process consumes less energy. Through the cooperation of the floating cup pressing mechanism and the second inclined surface on the second spiral guide groove, the reaction cup can smoothly leave the receiving cavity from the reaction cup discharge hole without the occurrence of cup jamming, damage or other adverse phenomena, which effectively improves the operational stability of the equipment.
[0021] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
