Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to reagent packaging equipment technical field especially, relate to a reagent tube insert device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The reagent is filled into the reagent tube by filling equipment, and the reagent tube is packaged by cover buckling, sealing and other process steps, and then is transferred to the predetermined position by the transfer device for packaging.
[0003] When packaging, the reagent tube with reagent is inserted into the cradle with multiple rows of array arranged jacks, and then the cradle with reagent tube is loaded into the packaging box for packaging. During the process of inserting the reagent tube into the cradle, the transfer device moves the reagent tube to the top of the corresponding jack in a vertical state, and vertically inserts a certain length downward, and then moves away. Then the reagent tube needs to be pressed downward manually to make the upper part of the reagent tube inserted into the jack protrude from the jack to a predetermined height, so as to facilitate the use of the reagent tube. However, manual pressing one by one has low operation efficiency. There is also a way of using auxiliary tools to improve the efficiency of pressing, such as: the worker holds a plate with the same size as the cradle in each hand, and then presses vertically downward along the top of the reagent tube. However, the worker needs to turn his body and head, and needs to look at the reagent tube to determine the depth of downward pressing according to observation to ensure the approximate position of the pressing height each time. The action is single and repetitive, and the worker is easy to be tired. In addition, the depth of the reagent tube inserted into the jack by the transfer device is shallow, which may cause the reagent tube to be inclined. Manual adjustment is needed again before inserting it into the jack, which is low in efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a reagent tube insertion device, which replaces manual operation and can automatically insert the reagent tube placed on the jack into the jack of the cradle vertically, avoiding the inclination of the reagent tube during insertion and improving the insertion efficiency.
[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of the utility model, the following scheme is adopted:
[0006] A reagent tube insertion device is arranged at the output end of the transfer device, comprising:
[0007] A conveying belt is provided with guide rails on both sides for conveying the cradle.
[0008] The pressing assembly includes a gantry frame spanning the width of the conveyor belt. The vertical parts of the gantry frame are slidably connected to guide rails. A pressing element is vertically movable on the bottom surface of the center of the horizontal part of the gantry frame. The pressing element includes a horizontal plate. The bottom surface of the horizontal plate is arrayed with inverted T-shaped rods. The T-shaped rods correspond one-to-one with the insertion holes on the bracket. The lower ends of the T-shaped rods are spaced apart with guide plates. The two ends of the guide plates are connected to the vertical part of the gantry frame. One side of the guide plate is arrayed with U-shaped blocks. The center of the concave part of the U-shaped block corresponds one-to-one with the axis of the T-shaped rod, and the opening of the U-shaped block faces the direction of the reagent tube.
[0009] Furthermore, a positioning element is provided along the width direction of the guide rail. The positioning element includes a slide rod, a positioning plate is provided at one end of the slide rod facing the conveyor belt, an arc plate is provided at one end of the slide rod positioning plate, the rear end of the arc plate is bent in the direction of the guide rail, and a spring is provided on the slide rod. One end of the spring abuts against the guide rail, and the other end abuts against the positioning plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the slide bar has a rectangular structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the two vertical sides of the portal frame are provided with sliding grooves, and the two ends of the guide plate are slidably connected to the sliding grooves respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided on one side of the slide, and a locking screw is inserted in the connecting groove. One end of the locking screw passes through the guide plate and abuts against the other side of the slide.
[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the horizontal plate is provided with vertically arranged cylinders, and the output end of the cylinders is vertically downward. The upper end of the cylinders is connected to the bottom surface of the center of the horizontal part of the portal frame.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The U-shaped blocks above the bracket, corresponding to the insertion holes, not only guide the reagent tubes when they are inserted vertically, preventing them from tilting during insertion, but also ensure that the insertion depth is consistent. At the same time, by using the collinearity between the axis of the T-shaped rod and the axis of the corresponding reagent tube, the downward pressure during insertion is kept perpendicular to the upper end of the reagent tube, thus eliminating the need for secondary adjustments and improving efficiency.

The T-shaped rods 222 are arranged in an array along one side of the horizontal plate 221 facing the conveying belt 10, and the spacing between the adjacent two T-shaped rods 222 is consistent with the spacing between the adjacent two insertion holes in the same row on the bracket 1, and the number of the T-shaped rods 222 is consistent with the number of the insertion holes.
[0026] The guide plate 23 is located below the pressing piece 22, and the opposite side of the vertical part of the door-shaped frame 21 is vertically arranged with a sliding groove 211, and the two ends of the guide plate 23 are respectively connected with the sliding groove 211 in sliding connection, and in order to adapt to the cradle 1 of different heights, a communication groove 212 is formed on one side of the sliding groove 211, a bolt screw 213 is arranged in the communication groove 212, and a screw hole is formed at both ends of the guide plate 23, so that one end of the locking bolt 213 passes through the communication groove 212 and the screw hole in turn and abuts against the other side of the sliding groove 211, so that the height of the guide plate 23 is adjusted and fixed to meet the use of the cradle 1 of different heights. The side of the guide plate 23 facing the incoming direction of the reagent tube 2 is arrayed with U-shaped blocks 231, and the concave centers of the U-shaped blocks 231 correspond to the axes of the T-shaped rods 222 one by one.
[0027] The specific operation process is as follows:
[0028] The height of the guide plate 23 is adjusted according to the height of the cradle 1, so that the lower side of the U-shaped block 231 is flush with the top surface of the cradle 1, the conveying belt 10 is started, and the conveying belt 10 conveys the cradle 1 to the direction where the transfer device 3 is located, when the center of the jack 1 of the front row of the cradle 1 corresponds to the concave center of the U-shaped block 231, the conveying belt 10 is paused, at this time the reagent tube 1 is clamped in a vertical state by the transfer device 3, and is moved horizontally along the lower end of the T-shaped rod 222 to the upper side of the jack 1 of the front row, then the reagent tube 1 is lowered vertically along the concave part of the U-shaped block 231 and inserted into the jack, then the transfer device 3 is vertically raised to the lower end of the T-shaped rod 222, and finally the next row of reagent tubes 1 is clamped and transferred.
[0029] Then the cylinder 223 is started, the cylinder 223 pushes the horizontal plate 221 to move vertically downward, so that each T-shaped rod 222 acts on the top of the corresponding reagent tube 1 to vertically push the reagent tube 1 into the jack, so as to avoid the situation that part of the reagent tube 1 is not inserted or the insertion height is inconsistent.

[0031] Preferably, in order to avoid the rotation of the sliding rod 121, the cross section of the sliding rod 121 is in a rectangular structure, so that the positioning plate 122 can stably guide the bracket 1 after the bracket 1 enters the opposite area of the positioning member 12.
