[0002] The pneumatic sample feeding system is a system that uses compressed air as power to convey the container containing the sample to be analyzed in the pipeline. Through the pneumatic sample feeding system, the automatic transmission of the sample to be analyzed from the process plant to the analysis plant can be realized, and the sample feeding efficiency is improved. However, for the process plant with many sending points, if the sample to be analyzed is to be transmitted to the analysis plant through the pneumatic sample feeding system, many conveying pipelines need to be arranged for the sending points to feed samples, and many receiving points are also involved, which will further increase the number of pipeline arrangements. For example, when there are three sending points, three pipelines need to be arranged at a single receiving point to be connected with the three sending points. The more the receiving points and the sending points, the more the pipelines need to be arranged, which consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

[0003] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the applicant designs a transfer equipment, and each point is connected with the transfer equipment through a pipeline. When the sample needs to be fed, one point sends the sample to be analyzed to the transfer equipment through the pipeline, and then the conveying device in the transfer equipment sends the sample to be analyzed to the pipeline of the corresponding another point, and then the sample to be analyzed is conveyed to the corresponding point through the pipeline. The transfer equipment is used to transfer and feed the material, so that the connection points of each point are the transfer equipment, and the number of pipelines to be arranged can be reduced, and the number of unnecessary pipeline design and receiving points is reduced.

[0004] Since the transfer equipment needs to be connected with multiple points, if multiple independent flow channels are arranged in the conveying device of the transfer equipment to convey the material respectively, the conveying efficiency can be further improved. During the conveying process, if the materials conveyed between the flow channels can be transferred, the materials can flow between different flow channels according to the demand, the conveying demand can be further met, and the conveying efficiency is improved.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a lane changing mechanism to enable the material to flow between different flow channels is a technical problem to be solved in the field. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

The fourth frame body 3334 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the top end is connected with the other end of the third frame body 3333, and the bottom end is connected with the top of the distribution plate 20. By this structure, the height of the third frame body 3333 can be raised, thereby further avoiding the third frame body 3333 arranged in the horizontal direction from interfering with the material in the flow channel, so that the material can smoothly flow from below the third frame body 3333.

The blocking piece 300 is arranged above the conveying line 200, and separates the first flow channel 201 and the second flow channel 202 above the conveying line 200, so that the conveying line 200 can form multiple independent flow channels to respectively convey material, thereby improving the conveying efficiency. The blocking piece 300 can block and guide the material, so that the material can be orderly conveyed. The blocking piece 300 is provided with a first gap 301, and the first gap 301 connects the first flow channel 201 and the second flow channel 202. The distribution plate 20 is arranged at the first gap 301, and the driving unit 30 is used to drive the distribution plate 20 to rotate, so that the distribution plate 20 rotates into the first flow channel 201 to block and guide the material in the first flow channel 201, so that the material in the first flow channel 201 flows into the second flow channel 202 through the first gap 301. As Figure 5As shown, at this time, the distribution plate 20 is located in the first flow channel 201, so that when the material in the first flow channel 201 flows to the distribution plate 20, the material is blocked and guided by the distribution plate 20 to the first gap 301, and then flows into the second flow channel 202 through the first gap 301, so as to switch the flow channel of the material. When the material flowing in the second flow channel 202 needs to switch the flow channel, the controller in the conveying device 100 can send a corresponding signal to the driving unit 30, so that the driving unit 30 drives the distribution plate 20 to rotate and reset, so that the distribution plate 20 is flush with the blocking piece 300, so as not to affect the subsequent flow of the material in the first flow channel 201.

[0067] Preferably, in an embodiment, the blocking piece 300 is provided with a second gap 302, and the second gap 302 communicates the first flow channel 201 and the second flow channel 202.

The guide 2021 can block and guide the material in the second flow channel 202 to the second gap 302, and then flow into the first flow channel 201 through the second gap 302, so as to guide and switch the material in the second flow channel 202 to the first flow channel 201.

[0068] Specifically, in an embodiment, the conveying line 200 is a chain plate conveying line.

[0069] Specifically, in an embodiment, the material is a carrier 400 for loading a container, and the carrier 400 is provided with a receiving hole 401. The carrier 400 can accommodate the container for loading the sample to be analyzed through the receiving hole 401. After the container is conveyed to the transfer equipment from the pipeline, the container can be sent into the carrier 400 by a grabbing device (for example, a mechanical hand), and then flows on the conveying line 200, so as to drive the container to flow and transfer the container to another pipeline. More specifically, after the container is loaded into the carrier 400, the bottom of the container is located in the receiving hole 401, and the top of the container extends out of the carrier 400, that is, a part of the container is located outside the carrier 400, so as to facilitate the grabbing device to take and place.

[0070] Specifically, in an embodiment, the conveying device 1000 can be further provided with a sensor for detecting the material, so as to output a corresponding signal to the controller of the conveying device 1000 to control the driving unit 20 to operate.

[0071] More specifically, in an embodiment, the sensor is mainly used to detect whether the carrier 400 in the first flow channel 201 is loaded with a container, and when the sensor detects that the carrier 400 is an empty carrier (not loaded with a container), a corresponding signal is output to drive the driving unit 30 to drive the distribution plate 20 to rotate to the first flow channel 201, so that the empty carrier 400 flows from the first flow channel 201 into the second flow channel 202, so as to ensure that the first flow channel 201 is transported only to the carrier 400 loaded with a container. Of course, in other embodiments, the sensor can also be used to detect other objects according to needs, and selection can be made according to actual needs.

[0072] Among them, the specific structure of the sensor can adopt two position sensors, one of which is located below to detect the carrier 400, and the other is located above to detect the container. When both position sensors detect a signal, it means that the currently detected carrier 400 is loaded with a container, otherwise it is not. In this way, the driving unit 30 is controlled to operate accordingly.

[0073] Meanwhile, in an embodiment, a transfer device is also provided, which is applied with the conveying device 1000. The transfer device can also be provided with a receiving and sending device 2000 and a grabbing device 3000. The receiving and sending device 2000 is arranged at the inlet and outlet of the pipeline to receive or send the container. The receiving and sending device 2000 can refer to CN115448033A, which will not be described here. The grabbing device 3000 is mainly used to send the container in the receiving and sending device 2000 into the conveying device 1000, or send the container in the conveying device 1000 into the receiving and sending device 2000.

[0074] The transfer device is connected with each point through a pipeline. The container sent by each point is first sent into the transfer device through the pipeline, and then transported and distributed through the transfer device. The container is then transported to the receiving point through another pipeline. Through the setting of the transfer device, the number of pipelines required to be arranged in the pneumatic sample sending system can be reduced, and the number of unnecessary pipeline designs and receiving points can be reduced.

[0075] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present application, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
