The terminology used in the description of the specification herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in this description, the terms "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the present application, a mechanical storage box for storing sample bottles 100 includes a box 200, the top of which is provided with a sample bottle entry chamber 300, the top surface of which is provided with a sample bottle inlet 310, and the bottom surface of which is in contact with the surface of the box 200, and the contact surface is provided with an adjusting plate 320, which can adjust the axial direction of the sample bottle 100 from vertical to horizontal, and the sample bottle 100 with the axial direction in the horizontal direction is stored in the box 200.
[0027] The box 200 is mainly used for storing sample bottles 100, and the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is mainly used for receiving the sample bottles 100 delivered from the pipeline outlet. The sample bottle entering chamber 300 and the part penetrating through the box 200 form a turnover space. In the turnover space, the sample bottles 100 are adjusted from the vertical state when entering the sample bottle entering chamber 300 to the horizontal state when entering the box 200 by the adjusting plate 320. That is, the adjusting plate 320 can adjust the axis direction of the sample bottles 100 from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, so that the sample bottles 100 can roll to the outlet end of the box 200. The axis direction of the sample bottles 100 is the same as the width direction of the box 200, so that the sample bottles 100 can be stored in the box 200 in an orderly and neat manner, realizing the orderly and neat storage of the sample bottles 100, and avoiding the free scattering on the ground in the prior art and the need for manual collection and neat stacking in the storage box.
[0028] In use, the mechanical storage box is arranged at the outlet of the pneumatic pipeline or the air-driven sample delivery pipeline. The sample bottles 100 are vertically and freely dropped from the pipeline outlet to the sample bottle entrance 310 and then enter the sample bottle entering chamber 300. The bottom surface of the sample bottles 100 is in contact with the adjusting plate 320 on the side away from the center of gravity of the sample bottles 100, so that the sample bottles 100 are tilted towards the center of gravity side and then enter the box 200 in the horizontal state and roll to the outlet end of the box 200. In this way, the sample bottles 100 can be collected and stored mechanically without the need for power supply and automatic control equipment. The mechanical storage box disclosed in the present application can replace the workers to automatically collect and arrange the sample bottles 100, and orderly and neatly store the sample bottles 100. Meanwhile, the work efficiency of the orderly and neat storage of the sample bottles 100 is high, and the labor cost is reduced.
[0029] The adjustment of the sample bottles 100 from the vertical state when entering the sample bottle entering chamber 300 to the horizontal state when entering the box 200 is mainly realized by the adjusting plate 320. Therefore, in a more preferred embodiment, the adjusting plate 320 is arranged on the side away from the sample bottles 100 entering the box 200. As viewed from the sample bottle entrance 310, the overlapping area of the projection of the sample bottle entrance 310 and the adjusting plate 320 in the vertical direction is less than half of the area of the sample bottle entrance 310. In the present scheme, the sample bottle entrance 310 is circular, and the diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the sample bottles 100. Please refer to Figure 5 The bottom left side of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 penetrates through the box 200, the width of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is greater than the width of the box 200, the left side of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is aligned with the box 200, and the right side of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 protrudes horizontally from the box 200. The inner bottom of the protruding part is the adjusting plate 320 mentioned above, and the adjusting plate 320 is arranged on the right side of the sample bottle entering chamber 300. Figure 5In the embodiment, the sample bottle 100 is flipped to the left to enter the box 200 horizontally. Relative to the flipping direction of the sample bottle 100, that is, the direction in which the sample bottle 100 enters the box 200, the adjusting plate 320 is arranged on the right side, that is, the left side wall of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is flush with the left side wall of the box 200, and the right side wall of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 protrudes from the right side wall of the box 200. The bottom surface of the protruding part is the adjusting plate 320, and the width of the bottom surface is the width of the adjusting plate 320. When the sample bottle 100 enters the sample bottle entering chamber 300 vertically from the sample bottle inlet 310, the bottom surface of the sample bottle 100 is in contact with the adjusting plate 320. Since the area of the part of the adjusting plate 320 vertically coinciding with the sample bottle inlet 310 is less than half the area of the sample bottle inlet 310, that is, the area of the part of the bottom of the sample bottle 100 in contact with the adjusting plate 320 is less than half the area of the bottom of the sample bottle 100, the center of gravity of the sample bottle 100 is concentrated on the side not in contact with the adjusting plate 320. At this time, the sample bottle 100 tilts towards the side of the center of gravity and enters the box 200 horizontally. In this way, the center of gravity of the sample bottle 100 itself is used to achieve the change from vertical to horizontal, and the structure is simple and can be achieved without external force. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the center of gravity of the sample bottle 100 is concentrated on the left side, and at this time, the sample bottle 100 tilts towards the left side and enters the box 200 horizontally. In this way, the center of gravity of the sample bottle 100 itself is used to achieve the change from vertical to horizontal, and the structure is simple and can be achieved without external force.
[0030] Further, the adjusting plate 320 and the side wall of the box 200 connected thereto are provided with an inclined plate 330, which guides the sample bottle 100 to tilt from the sample bottle entering chamber 300 into the box 200. For specific structures, please refer to Figure 5 The connecting part of the adjusting plate 320 and the right side wall of the box 200 is provided with an inclined plate 330, which and the upper half of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 and the box 200 combine to form a flipping space. The flipping space should be able to accommodate the sample bottle 100 inside to flip from vertical to horizontal. The function of the inclined plate 330 is to increase the flipping radius of the flipping space, so as to avoid the sample bottle 100 from being stuck to the side wall of the box 200. At the same time, the inclined plate 330 can also guide and buffer the sample bottle 100.
[0031] In a more preferred embodiment, the top end of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is provided with an end cover 340, and the end cover 340 is provided with a sample bottle inlet 310. The end cover 340 can slide back and forth along the width direction of the box 200. By moving the end cover 340, the position of the sample bottle inlet 310 relative to the adjusting plate 320 can be changed, that is, the area of the part of the projection of the sample bottle inlet 310 in the vertical direction on the adjusting plate 320 can be changed. Thus, the sample bottle 100 with different center of gravity distributions under different working conditions can be adapted, so that the sample bottle 100 with different center of gravity distributions can all tilt horizontally into the box 200 under the adjustment of the adjusting plate 320.
[0032] The sample bottle 100 is vertically entered into the sample bottle entering chamber 300, if the height of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is lower than the length of the sample bottle 100, the sample bottle 100 cannot be completely accommodated, and the sample bottle 100 cannot be rotated from vertical to horizontal in the sample bottle entering chamber 300, therefore, the height of the sample bottle entering chamber 300 is greater than the length of the sample bottle 100, so that the sample bottle 100 has enough space to change direction.
[0033] Further, the width of the box 200 is greater than the length of the sample bottle 100. The length direction of the sample bottle 100 is the same as the width direction of the box 200, the sample bottles 100 are arranged side by side in the box 200, and can roll along the length direction of the box 200.
[0034] In order to accommodate more sample bottles 100 and improve the utilization rate of the space of the box 200, a guide plate 210 is arranged between the bottom surface of the box 200 and the adjusting plate 320, the guide plate 210 divides the box 200 into an upper box 230 and a lower box 240, a sample bottle channel 250 is arranged between the upper box 230 and the lower box 240, and the guide plate 210 is arranged downwardly inclined towards the sample bottle channel 250. In operation, the sample bottle 100 enters the upper box 230 from the sample bottle entering chamber 300, rolls along the guide plate 210 to the sample bottle channel 250, and then enters the lower box 240 through the sample bottle channel 250. Such arrangement can store more sample bottles 100 than the single-layer box 200. Similarly, according to actual needs, a plurality of guide plates 210 can be arranged oppositely to divide the box 200 into multiple layers, and a sample bottle channel 250 is arranged between each layer to enable the sample bottles 100 to roll between the layers, thereby forming a "Z" shaped storage space.
[0035] The mechanical storage box is not only used for storing sample bottles 100, but also serves as a transfer function. The box 200 is arranged away from the sample bottle inlet 310 and provided with a sample bottle outlet 220, and the sample bottle outlet 220 is provided with a cabinet door 221. When the sample bottle 100 needs to be taken out, the cabinet door 221 is opened to directly take out the sample bottle 100 from the sample bottle outlet 220, which does not affect the operation of the entire mechanical storage box. At the same time, a mechanical hand can be arranged at the sample outlet 220 according to needs to realize automatic grabbing of the sample bottle 110, thereby further improving the work efficiency.
[0036] Further, the bottom surface of the box 200 is arranged as an inclined surface, and the sample bottle 100 can roll along the inclined surface to the sample bottle outlet 220. When the sample bottle 100 is taken out from the sample bottle outlet 220, the sample bottles 100 inside the box 200 can automatically roll to the sample bottle outlet 220, thereby facilitating taking out.
[0037] The above embodiments only express several implementation ways of the present application, and the description is specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation to the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
