Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a barcode scanning mechanism, and more particularly to a barcode scanning mechanism for the inside and outside of a cryopreservation tube storage box. Background Technology

[0002] A cryovial storage box is a box used to store cryovials. Cryovials are commonly used for cryopreservation of biological samples, cells, and bacterial strains. Storage boxes help organize, protect, and facilitate the management of cryovials, preventing damage or disarray during storage or transportation. Storage boxes generally come in different sizes and designs to hold a certain number of cryovials and may have features such as location markings for easy retrieval.

[0003] Currently, a two-dimensional barcode is typically affixed to the side of the cryovial storage box. This barcode records relevant information about the cryovials inside, such as the storage box number and storage date. Simultaneously, the bottom of each cryovial inside the storage box is coated with a QR code for easy sample identification and management. Scanning the QR code retrieves relevant sample information, such as sample number, storage time, and origin. In traditional technologies, the automated storage and retrieval of cryovial storage boxes requires multiple scans of the two-dimensional barcodes on the side of the storage box and the bottom of the cryovials, or the use of two scanning stations. This results in a complex scanning mechanism. Furthermore, reading multiple bottom QR codes on the cryovials simultaneously requires a relatively long design spacing due to depth of field (the range of distances between the subject and the image obtained from the imaging process), leading to a large space requirement for the entire scanning mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a single-scanning solution for both the inside and outside of the cryovial storage box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address this issue, this utility model provides a single-scanning mechanism for the inside and outside of a cryopreservation tube storage box, which solves the problem that traditional technologies require multiple scans of the two-dimensional barcode on the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box and the two-dimensional barcode on the bottom of the cryopreservation tube, resulting in a complex scanning mechanism that occupies a large amount of space.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a one-time scanning mechanism for the inside and outside of a cryopreservation tube storage box, including an outer shell, wherein a cryopreservation tube storage box placement station is formed on the upper surface of the outer shell, and the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station is provided with a scanning light-transmitting plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the barcode scanning mechanism inside and outside the cryopreservation tube storage box, the first barcode scanning device is fixed inside the outer shell by a barcode gun fixing plate, and the head of the first barcode scanning device faces the barcode reflector.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the scanning mechanism for the inside and outside of the cryopreservation tube storage box, the second scanning device includes a rotating base, a rotating block, and a QR code reflector; the upper part of the rotating base is formed with a U-shaped groove, and the lower part of the rotating block is hinged to the U-shaped groove by a pin; the upper part of the rotating block and the back of the QR code reflector are fixedly connected.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the one-time scanning mechanism inside and outside the cryopreservation tube storage box, the angle between the QR code reflector and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the barcode scanning mechanism inside and outside the cryopreservation tube storage box, the lower part of the second barcode scanning device is connected to a lens mounting plate. The lens mounting plate is equipped with a lens adjustment stand plate, and the lens adjustment stand plate is provided with a lens adjustment strip hole.

[0022] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model embodiment provides a one-time scanning mechanism for the inside and outside of a cryopreservation tube storage box, including an outer shell 1, a cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2 formed on the upper end surface of the outer shell 1, and a scanning light-transmitting plate 3 provided in the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2.

[0024] The outer casing 1 has a first reflective component 4 located on the rear side near the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2; a first barcode scanner 5 is located inside the outer casing 1 below the first reflective component 4; a second reflective component 6 is located inside the outer casing 1 below the barcode scanning light-transmitting plate 3; and a second barcode scanner 7 is located inside the outer casing 1 to one side of the second reflective component 6. The first barcode scanner 5 and the second barcode scanner 7 work together to scan the cryopreservation tube storage box at the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first reflective assembly 4 includes a barcode reflector mounting base 8 and a barcode reflector 9. A barcode reflector mounting opening 10 is formed inside the barcode reflector mounting base 8, and the barcode reflector 9 is fixed to the barcode reflector mounting opening 10. The angle between the barcode reflector 9 inside the barcode reflector mounting opening 10 and the horizontal plane is 45°. The outer casing 1 has a scanning port 19 formed in the viewing area of ​​the barcode reflector 9 and the first scanning device 5. The first scanning device 5 is fixed inside the outer casing 1 by a barcode gun fixing plate 20, with the head of the first scanning device 5 facing the barcode reflector 9.

[0026] Specifically, the barcode reflector mounting port 10 of the barcode reflector mounting base 8 faces the cryopreservation tube storage box. The barcode reflector 9 inside the barcode reflector mounting port 10 can image the two-dimensional barcode on the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2, so that the first scanning device 5 can read the two-dimensional barcode imaged by the barcode reflector 9 through the scanning port 19. The angle between the barcode reflector 9 and the horizontal plane is designed to be 45°, so that the first scanning device 5 is below the barcode reflector 9, reducing the depth of field of reading the barcode while effectively reading the two-dimensional barcode.

[0027] In this embodiment, the second scanning device 7 includes a rotating base 11, a rotating block 12, and a QR code reflector 13; a U-shaped groove 14 is formed on the upper part of the rotating base 11, and the lower part of the rotating block 12 is hinged to the U-shaped groove 14 by a pin; the upper part of the rotating block 12 is fixedly connected to the back of the QR code reflector 13; the angle between the QR code reflector 13 and the horizontal plane is preferably 45°.

[0028] Specifically, by rotating block 12, the QR code reflector 13 can rotate relative to the U-shaped groove 14 of rotating base 11, thereby adjusting the imaging angle of the QR code at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube in the QR code reflector 13, and then cooperating with the second scanning device 7 to read the QR code at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube. When the angle between the QR code reflector 13 and the horizontal plane is adjusted to 45°, the QR code can be read effectively, and the depth of field distance for reading the QR code can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower part of the second scanning device 7 is connected to a lens mounting plate 15. The lens mounting plate 15 is equipped with a lens adjustment stand plate 16. The lens adjustment stand plate 16 is provided with a lens adjustment strip hole 17. The side of the lens mounting plate 15 is formed with a mounting plate fixing hole 18. The lens adjustment strip hole 17 and the mounting plate fixing hole 18 are fixed to the lens mounting plate 15 by means of fixing bolts.

[0030] Specifically, the mounting plate fixing hole 18 on the side of the lens mounting plate 15 can move up and down relative to the lens adjustment strip hole 17, and can also be tilted. After the position of the lens mounting plate 15 is determined, a fixing bolt is passed through the lens adjustment strip hole 17 and screwed into the mounting plate fixing hole 18, thereby fixing the second scanning device 7 above the lens mounting plate 15, so that the second scanning device can effectively read the QR code image in the QR code reflector 13.

[0031] In summary, the upper surface of the outer shell 1 of this utility model forms a cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2, and the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2 is provided with a barcode scanning light-transmitting plate 3; a first reflective component 4 is provided on the rear side of the outer shell 1 near the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2; a first barcode scanning device 5 is provided inside the outer shell 1 below the first reflective component 4; a second reflective component 6 is provided inside the outer shell 1 below the barcode scanning light-transmitting plate 3, and a second barcode scanning device 7 is provided inside the outer shell 1 on one side of the second reflective component 6; the first barcode scanning device 5 and the second barcode scanning device 7 together scan the cryopreservation tube storage box at the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2. The barcode reflector mounting port 10 of the barcode reflector mounting base 8 faces the cryopreservation tube storage box. The barcode reflector 9 inside the barcode reflector mounting port 10 can image the two-dimensional barcode on the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box placement station 2, so that the first scanning device 5 can read the two-dimensional barcode imaged by the barcode reflector 9 through the scanning port 19. The angle between the barcode reflector 9 and the horizontal plane is designed to be 45°, so that the first scanning device 5 is below the barcode reflector 9, reducing the depth of field of the barcode while effectively reading the two-dimensional barcode. The rotating block 12 can make the two-dimensional barcode reflector 13 rotate relative to the U-shaped groove 14 of the rotating base 11, thereby adjusting the imaging angle of the two-dimensional barcode at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube in the two-dimensional barcode reflector 13, and then cooperate with the second scanning device 7 to read the two-dimensional barcode at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube. When the angle between the QR code reflector 13 and the horizontal plane is adjusted to 45°, the QR code can be effectively read, and the depth of field distance for reading the QR code can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied. The mounting plate fixing hole 18 on the side of the lens mounting plate 15 can move up and down relative to the lens adjustment strip hole 17, and the tilt angle can also be adjusted. After the position of the lens mounting plate 15 is determined, the fixing bolt is passed through the lens adjustment strip hole 17 and screwed into the mounting plate fixing hole 18, thereby fixing the second scanning device 7 above the lens mounting plate 15, so that the second scanning device can effectively read the QR code image in the QR code reflector 13. This utility model can simultaneously scan the QR code on the side of the cryopreservation tube storage box and the QR code on the bottom of the cryopreservation tube. Only one station is needed for the scanning device to read. The structure is simple. The first reflector component 4 and the second reflector component 6 can reduce the depth of field distance for reading the code and occupy little space.

Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
