[0057] In order to improve the launching efficiency of the specimen tube 8, the launching outlet is preferably provided with at least two, and each launching outlet is connected with one launching pipeline 2. Figures 3 to 6The specimen tube launching device provided with double launching outlets is shown. The launching channel seat 1 is provided with three channels, including two launching outlets and one feeding opening 11. The moving block 3 moves relative to the launching channel seat 1, so that the material channel 31 can be connected with the launching outlet and the feeding opening 11 respectively.

In addition, the number of the material channels 31 can also be multiple. In this way, when one of the material channels 31 is aligned with the feeding opening 11 to put the specimen tube 8 into the material channel 31 from the feeding opening 11, the other material channels 31 can be used to align with the air inlet and the launching outlet to blow the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 into the launching pipeline 2 by compressed air, so as to realize the synchronization of “putting the specimen tube 8 into the material channel 31” and “blowing the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 into the launching pipeline 2”, and also realize the simultaneous sending of multiple different specimen tubes 8, so as to improve the launching efficiency.

The second opening and closing mechanism 7 is preferably an electromagnetic switch to realize quick opening or closing action. When the second opening and closing mechanism 7 is closed, the specimen tube 8 outside the feeding opening 11 does not interfere with the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31. After the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 is launched, the second opening and closing mechanism 7 can be opened to directly load other specimen tubes 8 waiting for launching outside the feeding opening 11 again, so as to further improve the launching efficiency of the specimen tube 8.

[0059] The use process of the specimen tube launching device in the embodiment is as follows:

[0060] When the specimen tube 8 needs to be put into the specimen tube launching device, the second opening and closing mechanism 7 is opened, and the first opening and closing mechanism is in a closed state at this time. The baffle 52 makes the return opening closed. The extension end of the electric cylinder 4 drives the moving block 3 to move relative to the launching channel seat 1, so that the upper end of the material channel 31 is connected with the feeding opening 11. The specimen tube 8 put into the feeding opening 11 first enters the material channel 31 on the moving block 3. Then the extension end of the electric cylinder 4 is extended, and the moving block 3 is driven to move relative to the launching channel seat 1, so that the upper end of the material channel 31 is connected with the launching outlet, and the lower end of the material channel 31 is connected with the air inlet. The compressed air is blown into the material channel 31 through the air inlet nozzle 12, so as to blow the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 into the launching pipeline 2.

[0061] When the specimen tube 8 has a problem (such as failure in the previous process of scanning and identifying the specimen tube 8), the extension end of the electric push rod 51 is shortened, and the baffle 52 is driven to move relative to the launching channel seat 1, so that the return opening is opened. The specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 enters the return pipeline 14 from the return opening and returns.

[0064] The specimen tube launching device of the embodiment is compact in structure, high in efficiency and accuracy. The moving block 3 is driven to slide relative to the launching channel seat 1 by the push driving mechanism of the specimen tube launching device. When one end of the material channel 31 is aligned with the feeding port 11, the specimen tube 8 fed into the feeding port 11 will enter the material channel 31 on the moving block 3, and the push driving mechanism continues to drive the moving block 3 to slide. When the two ends of the material channel 31 are aligned with the air inlet and the launching outlet respectively, the compressed air blown in by the air inlet nozzle 12 will blow the specimen tube 8 in the material channel 31 into the launching pipeline 2, and the specimen tube 8 is launched into the pipeline quickly and stably. Subsequently, the compressed air will continue to blow, and finally the specimen tube 8 will be transported to the destination. Compared with the slow transmission mode of the traditional medical logistics transmission system, the transmission efficiency is greatly improved, and the strict requirement of the blood collection tube and other specimen tubes 8 on the timeliness of transmission is met.

[0065] In addition, the specimen tube launching device also has a flexible material returning mechanism.
