Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test reagent production and filling technology, and in particular to a test reagent bottle turning and feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines and laboratory environments, efficient and accurate feeding of reagent bottles is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of experiments and production. Traditional reagent bottle feeding methods often employ simple feeding tracks or conveyor belts to transport reagent bottles from the storage area to designated operating positions. However, in scenarios involving the turning and grasping of reagent bottles, this traditional feeding method often fails to meet practical needs.

[0003] Specifically, when reagent bottles need to be switched from a horizontal to a vertical position for grasping and subsequent operations, traditional feeding methods cannot directly provide the required bottle orientation. To achieve bottle turning, additional turning mechanisms or stations are usually required, which not only increases the complexity and cost of the system but may also reduce overall transport efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional feeding methods have shortcomings in terms of the accuracy and stability of reagent bottle feeding. Due to the motion characteristics of the feeding track or conveyor belt, reagent bottles may shake or become misaligned during transportation, causing the gripping device to be unable to accurately and stably grip the reagent bottles, thus affecting subsequent experimental or production operations.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reagent bottle steering and feeding system that can work seamlessly with a steering and gripping device. This system needs to accurately transport reagent bottles from the storage area to the operating range of the gripping device, maintaining the bottles' stable posture during transport so that the gripping device can smoothly perform gripping and steering operations. Simultaneously, the system also needs to possess high flexibility and adaptability, enabling rapid adjustments and optimizations to meet different experimental or production needs.

[0006] In summary, traditional reagent bottle feeding methods have many shortcomings in scenarios involving reagent bottle turning and gripping, and cannot meet the needs of modern automated production lines and laboratories for efficient and accurate feeding. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a reagent bottle feeding system that can improve the feeding accuracy and stability of reagent bottles, simplify the system structure, reduce costs, and improve overall production efficiency and experimental accuracy.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A test reagent bottle steering feeding system includes a feeding base, a belt feeding mechanism on the feeding base, a feeding limit guide rod above the belt feeding mechanism, a cylinder bracket at the end of the feeding base along the feeding direction, and a telescopic limit cylinder on the cylinder bracket. The telescopic limit cylinder drives the positioning limit bracket to telescopically move. When the telescopic limit cylinder extends, the positioning limit bracket blocks the end of the feeding limit guide rod.

[0010] The aforementioned positioning limit bracket is L-shaped.

[0011] One side of the "L"-shaped plate of the aforementioned positioning limit bracket is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the telescopic limit cylinder and is parallel to the feeding limit guide rod, while the other side of the "L"-shaped plate is perpendicular to the feeding limit guide rod.

[0012] The aforementioned belt feeding mechanism includes feeding pulleys located at both ends of the feeding base. The two feeding pulleys are connected by a feeding belt. The feeding limit guide rod is located above the feeding belt. One of the feeding pulleys is driven by a feeding motor on one side of the feeding base.

[0013] The aforementioned feeding base is equipped with a material arrival detection switch at the end along the feeding direction. The material arrival detection switch is used to detect whether the incoming material has arrived.

[0014] The aforementioned feeding limit guide rod consists of three rods: the left rod, the right rod, and the upper rod.

[0015] The aforementioned feeding limit guide rod is fixed by a rod support plate, which is fixed to the feeding base.

[0016] The aforementioned material arrival detection switch is a photoelectric detection switch.

[0017] The aforementioned feeding motor is a stepper motor.

[0018] The present invention provides a reagent bottle diversion and feeding system, the advantages of which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0019] 1. High degree of automation, improving work efficiency:

[0020] This feeding mechanism, integrating components such as guide rods, limit brackets, and position detection switches, works in conjunction with a feeding stepper motor to achieve automatic limiting, positioning, and step-by-step feeding of reagent bottles. This automated process significantly reduces reliance on manual operation, improving the efficiency of laboratories or production lines. Simultaneously, automated operation reduces errors caused by human factors, enhancing the accuracy and stability of the work.

[0021] 2. Accurate material feeding ensures the quality of experiments or production:

[0022] The precise triggering of the positioning switch ensures that each reagent bottle is accurately identified and stopped when it reaches the designated position. This high-precision positioning mechanism provides a stable gripping foundation for the subsequent grasping device, thus guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the reagent bottles during transport. This is crucial for experimental or production processes requiring high-precision operation.

[0023] 3. Compact structure, saving space:

[0024] The feeding mechanism is designed with space utilization in mind. Through a rational layout and component selection, the entire mechanism is compact and occupies a small area. This is a significant advantage for environments with limited space, such as laboratories or production lines. At the same time, the compact structure also facilitates equipment maintenance and reduces operating costs.

[0025] 4. Highly adaptable and easily expandable:

[0026] The feeding mechanism is designed with versatility and flexibility, adapting to reagent bottles of different specifications and sizes. Furthermore, by adding or adjusting relevant components, it can easily achieve automatic feeding of other types of materials. This strong adaptability allows the mechanism to perform well in various application scenarios. At the same time, its easily expandable design facilitates future upgrades and modifications.

[0027] 5. Improve safety and reduce operational risks:

[0028] The automated feeding process reduces the chances of direct human contact with reagent bottles, thereby lowering safety risks caused by improper operation or bottle breakage. Furthermore, the organization has ensured the stability and durability of the equipment through rational design and material selection, further enhancing safety during use.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a test reagent bottle steering feeding system includes a feeding base 2, a belt feeding mechanism on the feeding base 2, a feeding limit guide rod 5 above the belt feeding mechanism, a cylinder bracket 6 at the end of the feeding base 2 along the feeding direction, a telescopic limit cylinder 7 on the cylinder bracket 6, the telescopic limit cylinder 7 drives the positioning limit bracket 8 to perform telescopic movement, and when the telescopic limit cylinder 7 extends, the positioning limit bracket 8 blocks the end of the feeding limit guide rod 5.

[0036] The aforementioned positioning limit bracket 8 is L-shaped.

[0037] One side of the “L”-shaped plate of the aforementioned positioning limit bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the telescopic limit cylinder 7 and is parallel to the feeding limit guide rod 5, while the other side of the “L”-shaped plate is perpendicular to the feeding limit guide rod 5.

[0038] The aforementioned belt feeding mechanism includes feeding pulleys 3 located at both ends of the feeding base 2. The two feeding pulleys 3 are connected by a feeding belt 4. The feeding limit guide rod 5 is located above the feeding belt 4. One of the feeding pulleys 3 is driven by a feeding motor 10 on one side of the feeding base 2.

[0039] The aforementioned feeding base 2 is provided with a material arrival detection switch 11 at the end along the feeding direction. The material arrival detection switch 11 is used to detect whether the material has arrived.

[0040] The aforementioned feeding limit guide rod 5 consists of three rods: a left rod, a right rod, and an upper rod, which limit the left, right, and upper sides of the bottle, respectively.

[0041] The aforementioned feeding limit guide rod 5 is fixed by the rod support plate 9, which is fixed on the feeding base 2.

[0042] The aforementioned material arrival detection switch 11 is a photoelectric detection switch.

[0043] The aforementioned feeding motor 10 is a stepper motor.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] During feeding, the reagent bottle is conveyed by the stepper feeding motor according to the feeding limit guide rod 5. When the arrival detection switch 11 detects that the reagent bottle is in place, it controls the extension limit cylinder 7 to extend, so that the arrival limit bracket 8 limits the reagent bottle. At this time, the pulley continues to move, but the reagent bottle remains in the gripping position. At this time, the gripping device grips the reagent bottle. When the reagent bottle is gripped, the extension limit cylinder 7 retracts to avoid interference with the gripping direction. The above action is repeated after the next reagent bottle is in place, so as to realize the continuous feeding and gripping of reagent bottles.
