[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 A sample rail changing device is used to change the feeding direction of a sample adapter 12 on a first conveyer belt 81, comprising a driving mechanism and a handle 1.

[0040] The driving mechanism is arranged opposite to the fixed end of the first conveyer belt 81 and is used to drive the handle 1 to move in a first direction or reciprocate in the first direction, and the first direction is different from the feeding direction of the first conveyer belt 81.

[0041] When the sample adapter 12 on the first conveying belt 81 contacts the handle 1, the handle 1 can drive the sample adapter 12 to feed in the first direction, and the sample adapter 12 is separated from the handle 1 when the handle 1 moves in the reverse direction of the first direction.

[0042] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism adopts a motor as a driving source to drive the handle 1 to rotate. When the handle 1 is at at least one stroke point, the handle 1 is above the first conveying belt 81. When the sample adapter 12 on the first conveying belt 81 needs to change direction, the motor can drive the handle 1 to rotate, drive the handle 1 to contact the sample adapter 12, and drive the sample adapter 12 to change the original movement direction and move synchronously with the handle 1 until the sample adapter 12 is separated from the first conveying belt 81.

[0043] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism adopts a linear motor to drive the handle 1 to move linearly, and the movement direction is different from the feeding direction of the first conveying belt 81, so that the handle 1 can drive the sample adapter 12 that needs to change direction to change the original movement direction and move in the first direction with the handle 1 until the sample adapter 12 is separated from the first conveying belt 81.

[0044] In some embodiments, the sample rail changing device further comprises a linear guide rail 6, and the feeding direction of the linear guide rail 6 is the same as the first direction.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 The mounting base 5 is fixedly arranged on the side of the frame of the first conveying belt 81, the linear guide rail 6 is fixedly arranged on the mounting base 5 along the first direction, and the handle 1 is fixedly connected with the sliding end of the linear guide rail 6, so as to ensure that the handle 1 can move along the predetermined track and ensure the consistency of the track of multiple movements.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sample rail changing device further comprises a position detection module 7, which comprises a sensing recognition body 73 and a plurality of groups of sensors. The sensors are fixedly arranged opposite to different stroke points on the linear guide rail 6, and the sensing recognition body 73 is fixedly arranged opposite to the handle 1.

[0048] When the sensing recognition body 73 is in the recognition range of at least one sensor, the handle 1 is above the first conveying belt 81 and can grasp the sample adapter 12 on the first conveying belt 81.

[0049] When the sensing recognition body 73 is in the recognition range of the remaining sensors, the handle 1 is away from the first conveying belt 81.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1,Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the two ends of the linear guide rail 6 are used as the two stroke end points of the handle 1, and the first inductor 71 and the second inductor 72 are respectively arranged at the stroke end point positions, and the inductive recognition body 73 is arranged on the handle 1, when the inductive recognition body 73 is close to the inductor, the inductor can recognize the inductive recognition body 73 to confirm that the handle 1 is at the stroke end point position corresponding to the inductor;

[0051] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 When the second inductor 72 senses the inductive recognition body 73, it indicates that the handle 1 is at the first stroke end point, that is, above the first conveying belt 81, and can be combined with the sample adapter 12 on the first conveying belt 81 to change the original movement direction;

[0052] When the first inductor 71 senses the inductive recognition body 73, it indicates that the handle 1 is at the second stroke end point, that is, the handle 1 is at the position of the original first conveying belt 81, and at this time it cannot be combined with the sample adapter 12.

[0053] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 4 and a connecting rod mechanism 3, the driving motor 4 is fixedly arranged opposite to the fixed end of the first conveying belt 81, and the connecting rod mechanism 3 includes a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32 which are hingedly connected to each other, the first connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 4, and the second connecting rod 32 is hingedly connected with the sliding end of the linear guide rail 6.

[0054] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The connecting rod mechanism 3 is used to convert the rotary motion of the driving motor 4 into linear motion along the linear guide rail 6, so that the handle 1 can move along the designed track in the first direction, and the sample adapter 12 which needs to change direction can change the original movement direction along the designed path;

[0055] In some embodiments, a sliding block 2 is arranged at the sliding end of the linear guide rail 6, and the handle 1 and the output end of the connecting rod mechanism 3 are fixedly installed with the sliding block 2, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the handle 1 and the connecting rod mechanism 3.

[0056] In some embodiments, the handle 1 is L-shaped, one side of the handle 1 is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the first conveying belt 81, and the extension direction of the other side is opposite to the feeding direction of the first conveying belt 81.

[0057] As shown in the figure, Figure 1As shown, the handle 1 adopts an L-shaped structure. The long arm is fixedly connected to the drive mechanism, and the short arm extends in the opposite direction to the feeding direction of the first conveyor belt 81. When the handle 1 is at the end of the first stroke, the sample adapter 12 will be intercepted by the long arm when it reaches the corresponding position of the handle 1. When the handle 1 moves in the first direction, the short arm will push the sample adapter 12 to move synchronously until the sample adapter 12 reaches the end of the second stroke with the handle 1. At this time, the handle 1 moves in the opposite direction to the first direction, and the sample adapter 12 disengages from the handle 1.

[0058] In some embodiments, the handle 1 adopts a T-shaped structure, with the horizontal arm of the handle 1 perpendicular to the feeding direction of the first conveyor belt 81, and the extension direction of the vertical arm opposite to the feeding direction of the first conveyor belt 81.

[0059] When the vertical arm of handle 1 is on the left side of the first conveyor belt 81 during operation, the right half of the horizontal arm of handle 1 can intercept the sample adapter 12, and the right side of the vertical arm can push the sample adapter 12 to move to the right and change direction.

[0060] When the vertical arm of handle 1 is on the right side of the first conveyor belt 81, the left half of the horizontal arm of handle 1 can intercept the sample adapter 12, and the left side of the vertical arm can push the sample adapter 12 to move to the left and change direction.

[0061] When the horizontal arm of handle 1 is completely disengaged from the first conveyor belt 81, it will not affect the transmission of sample adapter 12 on the first conveyor belt 81.

[0062] In summary, this enables the sample adapter 12 to perform reversal operations in different directions.

[0063] In addition to the sample track-changing device disclosed in the above embodiments, this utility model also provides a sample sorting and conveying device including the above sample track-changing device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the sample sorting and conveying device further includes a label recognition module 11, which is fixedly arranged relative to the first conveyor belt 81 and located upstream of the sample track changing device, for recognizing the label in the sample adapter 12 to control the sample track changing device to perform a set action.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, by adding a tag identification module 11, such as an RFID signal reader, the tag information in the sample adapter 12 is read first, and it is determined whether the direction needs to be reversed based on the information content. Then, the drive mechanism is controlled to execute the corresponding instructions, thereby controlling the handle 1 to act according to the preset logic, so as to realize the automated reversing and conveying of the sample.

[0066] In some embodiments, the sample sorting conveying device further comprises an adapter stopper 9, which is arranged opposite to the first conveying belt 81 and is located on the upstream side of the sample rail changing device, and is used to selectively intercept the sample adapter 12 in the first conveying belt 81. When the previous group of sample adapters 12 is being changed, the adapter stopper 9 can intercept the next group of sample adapters 12, so as to prevent the sample adapters 12 from passing through the sample rail changing device during the time when the handle 1 moves to the second stroke end point.

[0067] In some embodiments, the third conveying belt 83 is arranged in parallel and close to the first conveying belt 81, the third conveying belt 83 is opposite to the feeding direction of the first conveying belt 81, and the handle 1 has at least two stroke end points, and the two end points are respectively above the first conveying belt 81 and the third conveying belt 83.

[0068] With the layout of two conveying belts arranged in parallel and close to each other, when the sample adapter 12 is separated from the first conveying belt 81, it can be received by the third conveying belt 83 and transported in a new direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, the feeding direction of the third conveying belt 83 is the same as the first direction, and the sample adapter 12 can also be transported in the reverse direction.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second conveying belt 82 and the third conveying belt 83 are further included, and the first conveying belt 81, the second conveying belt 82 and the third conveying belt 83 are arranged in an H shape, and the feeding direction of the second conveying belt 82 is from the first conveying belt 81 to the third conveying belt 83.

[0071] The handle 1 has at least two stroke end points, and the two end points are respectively above the first conveying belt 81 and the second conveying belt 82.

[0072] The H-shaped conveying belt group 8 is composed of three conveying belts, one side of which is the first conveying belt 81, and the first direction of the handle 1 is the same as the feeding direction of the second conveying belt 82 located in the middle. Therefore, when the handle 1 changes the moving direction of the sample adapter 12, the sample adapter 12 can enter the range of the second conveying belt 82 and be fed along with the second conveying belt 82 until it is fed to the conveying range of the third conveying belt 83 and is fed along with the third conveying belt 83 to realize the final rail changing transmission.

[0073] As shown in Figure 3 When the handle 1 is at the first stroke end point, it is in the conveying range of the first conveying belt 81, and when the sample adapter 12 passes through, it will be intercepted by the handle 1 and move synchronously with the handle 1.

[0074] As shown in Figure 4As shown, under the action of the drive mechanism, the handle 1 moves to the second stroke end point. At this time, the handle 1 is within the conveying range of the second conveyor belt 82. That is, when the handle 1 moves from the first stroke end point to the second stroke end point, it can drive the sample adapter 12 from the conveying range of the first conveyor belt 81 to the transport range of the second conveyor belt 82, thus realizing the track-changing transport of the sample adapter 12.

[0075] When the sample adapter 12 is continuously fed to the end by the second conveyor belt 82, the sample adapter 12 can enter the conveying range of the third conveyor belt 83 to complete the track change and direction change of the sample adapter 12.

[0076] In some embodiments, a baffle 10 is provided on the side of the third conveyor belt 83 away from the first conveyor belt 81 to prevent the sample adapter 12 from detaching from the side where the baffle 10 is located on the third conveyor belt 83.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 10 is provided on one side of the third conveyor belt 83, which is the same as that of the first conveyor belt 81. When the sample adapter 12 enters the third conveyor belt 83 under the action of the handle 1 or the second conveyor belt 82, it can be blocked by the baffle 10 to prevent the sample adapter 12 from separating from the third conveyor belt 83.

[0078] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
