Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic material feeding platform for reagent card assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The antigen test kit includes a base, test strip, and cap. During the kit's manufacturing process, these parts need to be assembled. Existing assembly methods have achieved automation. Regarding the base loading process, a loading box is installed at the beginning of the conveyor belt. Workers place a stack of bases into the loading box, with the bottom layer contacting the conveyor belt. Once the conveyor belt is running, multiple bases are laid out in a straight line on the surface and sequentially transported to the assembly equipment. However, this loading process has the following problems: the loading box consists of two separate U-shaped plates. The rectangular area enclosed by the two U-shaped plates is used for stacking the bases. The U-shaped plates are fixed to the corresponding support frame with two screws. This makes it inconvenient to change to different sized loading boxes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding platform for reagent card assembly, which changes the fixing method of the feeding box to allow for the replacement of feeding boxes of different sizes.

[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following solution is proposed:

[0005] An automatic feeding platform for reagent card assembly includes a feeding box, a conveyor, two support frames, and two locking components.

[0006] The feeding box includes two symmetrically arranged U-shaped plates. The outer wall of the U-shaped plates is provided with a horizontal extension plate. The bottom of the extension plate is provided with a mounting block. The mounting block is provided with a through groove that penetrates itself. The inner wall of the through groove is provided with a first retaining groove.

[0007] The feeding box is located between two support frames. The support frame includes an inverted U-shaped bracket and a base located on top of the U-shaped bracket. The top of the base has a groove on the side facing the feeding box, and one end of the base has a circular hole that communicates with the groove. When the mounting block is matched with the groove, the through groove is aligned with the circular hole, and the inner diameters of the two are the same.

[0008] The locking element is located in the corresponding circular hole. The locking element includes a sleeve, two fixedly installed spring pieces and two limiting posts. The sleeve has a receiving hole at a symmetrical position on its side wall. The outer end of the sleeve is provided with a pull ring and the inside is provided with a positioning seat. The first end of each of the two spring pieces is fixedly connected to the positioning seat. The limiting post is fixedly located on the outside of the second end of the corresponding spring piece. The limiting post passes through the corresponding receiving hole and is locked in the first slot. When the pull ring is pulled, it is used to disengage the limiting post from the first slot.

[0009] Furthermore, when the limiting post is engaged in the first slot, the inner end of the sleeve is tightly against the inner wall of the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on the inner wall of the circular hole. When the limiting post is locked in the second groove, the sleeve is completely disengaged from the through groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it changes the way of fixing the feeding box with screws. This utility model fixes the two U-shaped plates of the feeding box with two locking parts respectively. The locking parts have a clever structure and are easy to operate. Only two actions, pulling or pushing, are needed to unlock or lock the U-shaped plates. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 5 A schematic diagram is shown when the limiting post is engaged in the first slot. Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding platform for reagent card assembly, including a feeding box 1, a conveyor 2, two support frames 3 and two locking components 4.

[0018] Specifically, the loading box 1 is mounted on the top of the conveyor head of the conveyor table 2 via the support frame 3. The loading box 1 includes two symmetrically arranged U-shaped plates 11. The rectangular area enclosed by the two U-shaped plates 11 is used to stack the bottom shells for assembling reagent cards. There is a gap between the bottom surface of the U-shaped plate 11 and the surface of the conveyor table 2. The height of this gap is greater than the thickness of one bottom shell and less than the thickness of two bottom shells, which is used to ensure that the bottom bottom shell can be conveyed out. A certain distance is also maintained between the two U-shaped plates 11. The purpose of this distance is to facilitate the staff to place a stack of bottom shells into the loading box 1.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the U-shaped plate 11 is provided with a horizontal extension plate 12, the bottom of the extension plate 12 is provided with a mounting block 13, the mounting block 13 is provided with a through groove 14 that penetrates through itself, and the inner wall of the through groove 14 is provided with a first groove 141.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the feeding box 1 is located between two support frames 3. The support frame 3 includes an inverted U-shaped bracket 31 and a base 32 located on the top of the U-shaped bracket 31. The top of the base 32 is provided with a groove 33 on the side facing the feeding box 1. The groove 33 is used to match the mounting block 13. One end of the base 32 is provided with a circular hole 34 that communicates with the groove 33. When the mounting block 13 is matched with the groove 33, the through groove 14 is exactly aligned with the circular hole 34, and the inner diameters of the through groove 14 and the circular hole 34 are the same.

[0021] Specifically, the locking element 4 is disposed in the corresponding circular hole 34 to lock the mounting block 13, that is, to lock the U-shaped plate 11, preventing the U-shaped plate 11 from moving arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the specific implementation of the locking element 4 is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking component 4 includes a sleeve 41, two fixedly mounted spring pieces 42, and two limiting posts 43. The sleeve 41 has a receiving hole at a symmetrical position on its side wall. A pull ring 411 is provided at the outer end of the sleeve 41, and a positioning seat 412 is provided inside the sleeve 41. The first ends of the two spring pieces 42 are fixedly connected to the positioning seat 412. The limiting posts 43 are fixedly located on the outer side of the second end of the corresponding spring pieces 42. The limiting posts 43 pass through the corresponding receiving holes and are engaged in the first slot 141. When the limiting posts 43 are engaged in the first slot 141, the inner end of the sleeve 41 is tightly against the inner wall of the groove 33. Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the position of the limiting post 43 when it is engaged in the first slot 141. Note the space between the two spring pieces 42 so that the spring pieces 42 can deform when the limiting post 43 is compressed.

[0022] When it is necessary to replace the feeding box 1 with another size, the operator only needs to pull the pull ring 411 outward to complete the disassembly of the U-shaped plate 11. The principle is that when the pull ring 411 is pulled outward, the limiting post 43 will retract into the receiving hole due to compression, thereby releasing the restriction on the mounting block 13.

[0023] Once the sleeve 41 is completely disengaged from the through groove 14 of the mounting block 13, the U-shaped plate 11 can be removed. Install the U-shaped plate 11 of other sizes onto the base 32, and then push the pull ring 411. You will hear a click, which means that the limit post 43 is once again locked in the first slot 141. The operation is very convenient.

[0024] More specifically, when the pull ring 411 is pulled outward, in order to pull the sleeve 41 to a specific position, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the circular hole 34 is provided with a second groove 341. When the pull ring 411 of the sleeve 41 is pulled outward and a click is heard, it means that the limiting post 43 is stuck in the second groove 341. At this time, the sleeve 41 is completely separated from the mounting block 13 and contacts the locking of the mounting block 13.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are not intended to be unique or to limit this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions made to this utility model without departing from its scope are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
