[0025] Currently, existing blood collection tube sorting machines have some shortcomings in their industrial control system design. On the one hand, when the main control module directly controls each working module, it requires a large current, which not only increases the power demand of the main control module but may also lead to excessive power consumption, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment. On the other hand, when it is necessary to increase the processing capacity of blood collection tubes, the existing equipment has poor scalability and is difficult to meet actual needs.

[0026] To address the issues of high power consumption and poor scalability, this utility model provides an industrial control mechanism for a blood collection tube sorting machine. The industrial control mechanism includes multiple relay modules, each equipped with a relay, a first transistor, and a Schottky diode. The collector of the first transistor is connected to a power supply, and the emitter of the first transistor is connected to the coil port of the relay. The load port of the relay is connected to a corresponding working module. The working module is used to process the blood collection tubes. The emitter of the first transistor is also connected to the cathode of the Schottky diode, and the anode of the Schottky diode is connected to... The system includes: a temperature detection module for acquiring temperature information of the industrial control unit; a humidity detection module for acquiring humidity information of the industrial control unit; a speaker module for playing operating information and alarm information of the blood collection tube sorting machine; and a main control module, in which the temperature detection module, humidity detection module, speaker module, and each relay module are electrically connected, wherein the main control module is connected to the base of the first transistor. According to the solution provided in this embodiment, power consumption is reduced and stability is improved, and the expansion requirements of the blood collection tube sorting machine when increasing its blood collection tube processing capacity are also met.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model embodiment provides an industrial control mechanism for a blood collection tube sorting machine, comprising:

[0029] Multiple relay modules 100 are provided, each relay module 100 is equipped with a relay 110, a first transistor Q1 and a Schottky diode Q2. The collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply, the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the coil port 111 of the relay 110, the load port 112 of the relay 110 is connected to the corresponding working module, the working module is used to process the blood collection tube, the emitter of the first transistor Q1 is also connected to the cathode of the Schottky diode Q2, and the anode of the Schottky diode Q2 is grounded.

[0030] Humidity detection module 210 is used to acquire humidity information of industrial control equipment;

[0031] The speaker module 300 is used to play the working information and alarm information of the blood collection tube sorting machine.

[0032] The main control module 400, humidity detection module 210, speaker module 300 and each relay module 100 are electrically connected to the main control module 400, wherein the main control module 400 is connected to the base of the first transistor Q1.

[0033] It is understandable that the blood collection tube sorting machine includes multiple working modules, which are used to process blood collection tubes sequentially. By setting multiple relay modules 100 in the industrial control mechanism, the main control module 400 is connected to its corresponding working module through the relay modules 100. The main control module 400 controls the working module through the relay modules 100. In the relay module 100, the small current at the coil port 111 switches and controls the large current at the load port 112, thereby reducing the power supply requirement of the main control module 400 itself, which is beneficial to reducing its own power consumption and improving stability. Installing a sufficient number of relay modules 100 in the industrial control mechanism can meet the expansion needs of the blood collection tube sorting machine when increasing its blood collection tube processing capacity.

[0034] A first transistor Q1 is installed within the relay module 100. The collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply, the base is connected to the main control module 400, and the emitter is connected to the coil port 111 of the relay 110. When the main control module 400 outputs a high-level signal, the first transistor Q1 is turned on. The power supply connected to the collector of the first transistor Q1 amplifies the high-level signal, increasing the voltage value at the emitter of the first transistor Q1, thereby improving the response efficiency of the relay module 100 and further reducing the power consumption requirements of the main control module 400. In addition, a Schottky diode Q2 is installed within the relay module 100. The cathode of the Schottky diode Q2 is connected to the emitter of the first transistor Q1, and the anode is grounded. If the output voltage at the emitter of the first transistor Q1 increases sharply, the Schottky diode Q2 will short-circuit itself, thereby protecting the relay 110.

[0035] A humidity detection module 210 is installed in the industrial control mechanism to detect the humidity inside the mechanism. The humidity detection module 210 is connected to the main control module 400. When the main control module 400 determines that the humidity information inside the industrial control mechanism is abnormal, it indicates that the industrial control mechanism may be contaminated by liquid inside or outside the blood collection tube. The main control module 400 will issue an alarm through the speaker module 300 to promptly notify the staff for maintenance, which can ensure the stable operation of the industrial control mechanism and the blood collection tube sorting machine.

[0036] In some specific implementations, the load port 112 of the relay 110 is connected to the power supply and the enable terminal of the working module, respectively. That is, when the main control module 400 needs to control one of the working modules, the main control module 400 outputs a high-level signal, and the power supply and the enable terminal of the working module are connected in the relay module 100, thereby enabling the working module to operate.

[0037] In addition, the load port 112 of the relay module 100 can also be connected to the power supply and the power supply terminal of the working module respectively. When the main control module 400 outputs a high-level signal, the power supply and the power supply terminal of the working module are connected. When the main control port controls the base of the first transistor Q1 to be at a low level, the power supply and the power supply terminal of the working module are disconnected, thereby stopping the operation of the working module.

[0038] In addition, the industrial control mechanism also includes a 485 communication module 700, and the main control module 400 is connected to the working module through the 485 communication module 700.

[0039] The main control module 400 is connected to each working module through the 485 communication module 700 and the corresponding 485 communication port. The main control module 400 sends control commands to the working modules through the corresponding 485 communication module 700. The working modules can also send feedback information to the main control module 400 through the corresponding 485 communication module 700. The main control module 400 and the working modules can support either half-duplex or full-duplex communication.

[0040] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the industrial control mechanism further includes a temperature detection module 220, which is electrically connected to the main control module 400 and is used to acquire the temperature information of the industrial control mechanism.

[0041] The temperature detection module 220 detects the temperature inside the industrial control mechanism. When the main control module 400 determines that the temperature inside the industrial control mechanism is abnormal, the main control module 400 will issue an alarm through the speaker module 300 to notify the staff to carry out maintenance and repair.

[0042] In addition, the temperature detection module 220 and the humidity detection module 210 can also be installed on each working module. The temperature detection module 220 and the humidity detection module 210 are used to detect the temperature and humidity on each working module respectively. When the temperature or humidity information on the working module is abnormal, the main control module 400 controls the base of the first transistor Q1 in the corresponding relay module 100 to be at a low level, thereby controlling the load port 112 of the relay 110 to be disconnected.

[0043] Additionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the industrial control mechanism further includes a display module 500, which is electrically connected to the main control module 400. The display module 500 is used to display the temperature information obtained by the temperature detection module 220, the humidity information obtained by the humidity detection module 210, and the working information of the blood collection tube sorting machine.

[0044] Specifically, the display module 500 is equipped with an OLED screen (not shown in the figure), and the main control module 400 collects the working information and working status of each working module, such as the number and location of blood collection tubes, detection type, detection target and detection process, etc. The main control module 400 performs visualization processing on the above data and displays it on the OLED screen.

[0045] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the display module 500 is also equipped with a digital tube 501. The temperature detection module 220 and the humidity detection module 210 detect analog signals related to temperature and humidity respectively and input them into the main control module 400. The main control module 400 converts the analog signals into digital signals to obtain specific temperature and humidity values. The main control module 400 drives the digital tube 501 to display the real-time temperature and humidity values.

[0046] Additionally, refer to again Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the industrial control mechanism further includes a program download module 610 and a storage module 620. The program download module 610 and the storage module 620 are electrically connected to the main control module 400. The main control module 400 downloads and updates the program through the program download module 610 and updates the working module through the update program. The main control module 400 stores the built-in program and update program of the working module in the storage module 620.

[0047] Specifically, staff can download the new update program to the industrial control unit through the program download module 610. The main control module 400 updates itself or installs the update program into the corresponding working module. The main control module 400 also saves the current update program and the original program in the working module before the update to the storage module 620.

[0048] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, the industrial control mechanism is also provided with a reset circuit (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the main control module 400. When the power is turned on or a system failure occurs in the working module of the blood collection tube sorting machine, the operator activates the trigger on the reset circuit. The main control module 400 initializes the working module that has failed and reinstalls the latest updated program in the storage module 620 into the working module. If the working module fails again within a preset time, the main control module 400 resets the working module and installs the original program stored in the storage module 620 into the working module.

[0049] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, the industrial control mechanism also includes a waterproof housing (not shown in the figure), and the relay module 100, temperature detection module 220, humidity detection module 210 and main control module 400 are all disposed inside the waterproof housing.

[0050] Understandably, by housing the entire industrial control mechanism within a waterproof enclosure, the risk of the internal circuitry getting wet during the operation of the blood collection tube sorting machine can be reduced, thus ensuring the stable operation of the industrial control mechanism.

[0051] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
