Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sample sorting technology, and in particular, to a sorting system. Furthermore, this utility model also relates to a sample inspection system including the above-mentioned sorting system. Background Technology

[0002] During the transportation, testing, and storage of material samples, sample bottles loaded with samples need to be transported by conveying tools such as pneumatic pipelines. After arriving at the sorting system, the sample bottles are sorted and transported to the testing system. After testing, the sorting system transfers the sample bottles to the pneumatic pipeline for output to the storage system for sample bottle storage. However, during the process of transporting sample bottles through the pneumatic pipeline, there may be situations such as the bottle caps not sealing properly, which may lead to sample spillage. Improvements are needed.

[0003] On the other hand, existing technologies often use sample bottles of different sizes for sample storage and transportation, which is costly and requires a large storage area. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a sorting system and a sample testing system to solve the technical problems of sample spillage due to poor sealing during the transmission of existing material sample bottles and high storage costs.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a sorting system is provided for sorting sample containers, the sample containers being used to hold samples, the sorting system comprising:

[0006] Support frame, used as structural support;

[0007] Transport containers, used to hold a predetermined number of sample containers;

[0008] The conveying mechanism includes multiple conveyor belts for conveying sample containers and transport containers;

[0009] The transfer device includes a horizontal moving mechanism disposed on the support frame, a lifting mechanism disposed on the horizontal moving mechanism, and a pick-and-place mechanism disposed on the lifting mechanism. The pick-and-place mechanism is used to pick up and place sample containers or transport containers. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism to rise or fall. The horizontal moving mechanism is used to drive the lifting mechanism to move along a preset direction, thereby driving the pick-and-place mechanism to transfer to a different workstation.

[0010] A positioning mechanism, mounted on the support frame, is used to position the transport container placed on the positioning mechanism to a preset work position.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning base, a positioning gripper disposed on the positioning base, and a first detection unit disposed on the positioning base. The clamping surface of the positioning gripper matches the shape of the outer wall of the transport container. The first detection unit is used to issue a command to control the positioning gripper to clamp the transport container and thus position the transport container when it detects that the transport container is placed on the positioning base.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the positioning mechanism further includes a first telescopic mechanism disposed on one side of the positioning base. The free end of the first telescopic mechanism is provided with a guide sleeve that matches the shape of the outer wall of the sample container. The first telescopic mechanism is used to extend so that the guide sleeve is located at the inlet end of the transport container to guide the sample container into the transport container. It is also used to retract when the sample container is taken out from the transport container to avoid the transfer device.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, each of the transport containers and each of the sample containers is provided with different identification marks, and the positioning mechanism also includes an identification device for reading the identification marks on the transport containers and the identification marks on the sample containers.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the circumferential dimension of the inner cavity of the transport container matches the circumferential dimension of the sample container, the inner height of the transport container is a preset multiple of the height of the sample container, and the top of the transport container has a container lid.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the picking and placing mechanism includes a container gripper that matches the container lid and a rotating mechanism disposed in the lifting mechanism and used to drive the container gripper to rotate.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the pick-and-place mechanism includes an adsorption element connected to a gas source, with the adsorption end of the adsorption element facing downwards.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the pick-and-place mechanism further includes a second telescopic mechanism arranged along the moving direction of the lifting mechanism and a second detection unit disposed on the second telescopic mechanism. The adsorption element is disposed at the free end of the second telescopic mechanism, and the second detection unit is used to detect the pressure of the air path where the adsorption element is located.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the conveying mechanism includes at least five conveyor belts, which are used for input sample container, output sample container, input transport container, temporary storage transport container and output transport container, respectively.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, a sample testing system is also provided, which includes the sorting system described above.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The sample containers are encapsulated in transport containers, which are then transported to a pre-set position on the sorting system using existing conveying equipment such as pneumatic pipes. The transport containers provide double protection for the sample containers, preventing spillage. Once in the sorting system, a conveying mechanism transports the transport containers containing a pre-set number of sample containers to a position matched with the transfer device. A horizontal moving mechanism moves to the transport container position, while a lifting mechanism lowers the pick-and-place device to the height of the transport container. The pick-and-place device then grips the transport container. The lifting mechanism rises, and the horizontal moving mechanism moves the pick-and-place device to a positioning mechanism, which then secures the transport container. The sample container is removed from the transport container and transferred to the conveying mechanism under the coordinated action of the lowering mechanism and the pick-and-place device. The conveying mechanism transports the sample container to the testing station for testing. After the test is completed, the conveying mechanism transports the sample container to the position matched with the transfer device. The transfer device transfers the tested sample container into the transport container. The conveying mechanism outputs the transport container, which is fully loaded with the tested sample containers, to the next station. During the transportation process and storage of processes other than sorting and testing, the sample containers are all contained in the transport container. This not only protects the sample containers but also ensures that the sample containers are of uniform size. They can be stacked and stored in the transport container, avoiding the problem of large storage space occupied by a large number of sample containers.

[0022] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The present utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0037] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the sorting system of this embodiment is used to sort sample containers 2, which are used to hold samples. The sorting system includes:

[0038] Support frame 1 is used as a structural support;

[0039] Transport container 7, used to hold a predetermined number of sample containers 2;

[0040] The conveying mechanism 8 includes multiple conveyor belts for conveying the sample container 2 and the transport container 7;

[0041] The transfer device includes a horizontal moving mechanism 6 mounted on a support frame 1, a lifting mechanism 4 mounted on the horizontal moving mechanism 6, and a pick-and-place mechanism 5 mounted on the lifting mechanism 4. The pick-and-place mechanism 5 is used to pick up or place the sample container 2 or the transport container 7. The lifting mechanism 4 is used to drive the pick-and-place mechanism 5 to rise or fall. The horizontal moving mechanism 6 is used to drive the lifting mechanism 4 to move along a preset direction, thereby driving the pick-and-place mechanism 5 to transfer to a different workstation.

[0042] The positioning mechanism 3 is mounted on the support frame 1 and is used to position the transport container 7 placed on the positioning mechanism 3 to the preset work position.

[0043] The support frame 1 is preferably constructed using aluminum profiles; the conveyor belt is based on the transmission belt in the prior art, preferably a belt transmission belt; the horizontal moving mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 can be implemented using position-controllable linear motion mechanisms such as electric cylinders, electric lead screws, and electric slides in the prior art, and there are no restrictions on them;

[0044] The working principle of this sorting system is as follows: Sample containers 2 are contained in transport containers 7, allowing the samples to be sealed within them. Existing transmission equipment, such as pneumatic pipes, transport containers 7 are conveyed to a preset position on the sorting system. The transport containers 7 provide double protection for the sample containers 2, preventing spillage. After arriving at the sorting system, the transport mechanism 8 conveys the transport containers 7, containing a preset number of sample containers 2, to a position matched with the transfer device. The horizontal moving mechanism 6 moves to the position of the transport containers 7, and the lifting mechanism 4 controls the pick-and-place device to descend to the height of the transport containers 7. The pick-and-place device then grips the transport containers 7. The lifting mechanism 4 rises, and the horizontal moving mechanism 6 moves the pick-and-place device to the positioning mechanism 3, which then fixes the transport containers 7 horizontally. With the coordinated action of the moving mechanism 6, the lifting mechanism 4, and the picking and placing device, the sample container 2 is taken out from the transport container 7 and transferred to the conveying mechanism 8. The conveying mechanism 8 transports the sample container 2 to the testing station for testing. After the test is completed, the conveying mechanism 8 transports the sample container 2 to the position matched with the transfer device. The transfer device transfers the tested sample container 2 into the transport container 7. The conveying mechanism 8 outputs the transport container 7, which is fully loaded with the tested sample container 2, to the next station. During the transportation process and storage of processes other than sorting and testing, the sample container 2 is contained in the transport container 7. This not only protects the sample container 2, but also makes the sample container 2 uniform in size. It can be stacked and stored in the transport container, avoiding the problem of large storage space occupied by a large number of sample containers.

[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning base 31, a positioning gripper 32 disposed on the positioning base 31, and a first detection unit 33 disposed on the positioning base 31. The clamping surface of the gripper on the positioning gripper 32 matches the shape of the outer wall of the transport container 7. The first detection unit 33 is used to issue a command to control the positioning gripper 32 to clamp the transport container 7 and thus position the transport container 7 when the transport container 7 is detected to be placed on the positioning base 31. The first detection unit 33 can be implemented using a distance sensor of the prior art. When the transport container 7 is placed on the positioning base 31, it detects a change in distance sensing, that is, it determines that the transport container 7 has been placed on the positioning base 31. Then, according to the signal, the control system can control the positioning gripper 32 to clamp the transport container 7, thereby keeping the transport container 7 in a fixed position. Then, the transport container 7 can be operated by the transfer device, such as taking out and putting in the sample container 2. The structure and action are simplified, and the cost of modifying the existing sorting system is low.

[0046] It should be understood that the control system is based on the existing electrical control system technology, which will not be elaborated on. In this embodiment, the positioning gripper 32 is a pneumatic gripper, which controls the air circuit through a solenoid valve and thus controls the movement of the pneumatic gripper. In other embodiments, it can also be an electric gripper or other structures, and there are no restrictions on it.

[0047] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 3 also includes a first telescopic mechanism 34 disposed on one side of the positioning base 31. The free end of the first telescopic mechanism 34 is provided with a guide sleeve 35 that matches the shape of the outer wall of the sample container 2. The first telescopic mechanism 34 is used to extend so that the guide sleeve 35 is located at the inlet end of the transport container 7 to guide the sample container 2 into the transport container 7. It is also used to retract when the sample container 2 is taken out from the transport container 7 to avoid the transfer device. The first telescopic mechanism 34 can be implemented by telescopic mechanisms such as electric cylinders and pneumatic cylinders in the prior art. In this embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder is used as an example.

[0048] In this embodiment, each transport container 7 and each sample container 2 are provided with different identification marks. The positioning mechanism 3 also includes an identification device 36 for reading the identification marks on the transport container 7 and the sample container 2. Preferably, identification marks are provided at the bottom of the transport container 7 and the bottom of the sample container 2. The identification marks can be identification codes or identification chips. The identification device 36 is a barcode reader. Barcode readers are provided on one side of the guide sleeve 35 and the bottom surface of the positioning base 31 to identify the sample container 2 and the transport container 7 and associate their information to ensure that the sample container 2 can be matched after sampling and after being put back into the transport container 7. The specific structure, principle and application of the identification device 36 and the identification marks are all based on existing technology.

[0049] In this embodiment, the circumferential dimension of the inner cavity of the transport container 7 matches the circumferential dimension of the sample container 2, the inner cavity height of the transport container 7 is a preset multiple of the height of the sample container 2, and the top of the transport container 7 has a container lid, that is, the sample container 2 is stacked in the transport container 7 and can be picked up and put in vertically, which makes it easier to control; considering all aspects such as transportation, clamping, and use, both the transport container 7 and the sample container 2 are cylindrical.

[0050] Specifically, the pick-and-place mechanism 5 includes a container gripper 51 that matches the container lid and a rotating mechanism 52 located on the lifting mechanism 4 and used to drive the container gripper 51 to rotate. The container gripper 51 is implemented using a gripper cylinder and a fixture as in the prior art, and the rotating mechanism 52 is implemented using a motor as in the prior art. The container gripper 51 is used to hold the container lid, and the positioning mechanism 3 clamps the outer wall of the transport container 7. The container lid can be held by the container gripper 51 to transfer the transport container 7. When the positioning mechanism 3 clamps and positions the transport container 7, the rotating mechanism 52 drives the container gripper 51 to rotate circumferentially, thereby causing the container lid to be screwed out of the transport container 7 to open the lid. Similarly, the container lid can also be tightened to realize the opening and closing operation of the lid. This transfer device can realize the transfer of the transport container 7 and can be used with the positioning mechanism 3 to realize the opening and closing operation of the container. The structure is simple and reasonable, with small space occupation and low cost. The cost and difficulty of improving the original system are low.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pick-and-place mechanism 5 further includes an adsorption element 53 connected to a gas source. The adsorption end of the adsorption element 53 is arranged downwards. The adsorption element 53 is a suction nozzle or suction cup in the prior art. By controlling the adsorption element 53 to descend, the adsorption element 53 contacts the sample container 2 in the transport container 7 to achieve adsorption of the sample container 2. By controlling the adsorption element 53 to rise, the sample container 2 is lifted out of the transport container 7 and then moved horizontally to achieve transfer. Preferably, the pick-and-place mechanism 5 also includes a second telescopic mechanism 54 arranged along the moving direction of the lifting mechanism 4 and a second detection unit 55 disposed on the second telescopic mechanism 54. It should be understood that the second telescopic mechanism 54 is disposed on one side of the container gripper 51, the adsorption element 53 is disposed on the free end of the second telescopic mechanism 54, and the second detection unit 55 is used to detect the pressure of the gas path where the adsorption element 53 is located. The second telescopic mechanism 54 controls the lifting and lowering of the adsorption element 53, avoiding interference from the container gripper 51 when the lifting mechanism 4 controls the lifting and lowering. In this embodiment, the pick-and-place mechanism 5 is implemented by a suction cup cylinder, that is, the suction cup in the suction cup cylinder is disposed on the free end of the telescopic rod and passes through the telescopic rod. The connection to the air path is maintained during the extension and retraction process, avoiding interference caused by the movement of the external air tube. The integrated structure of the two components simplifies the overall design, and the extension rod of the suction cylinder is easier to match and extend into the transport container 7. On the other hand, the suction cylinder in the prior art has a built-in magnetic ring. Based on the depth of the transport container 7, the stroke of the suction cylinder is matched. When there is no sample container 2 in the transport container 7, the suction cylinder can extend to the limit position and give a limit position signal based on the magnetic ring. Based on this, it can be determined that the sample container 2 in the transport bottle has been completely removed, without the need for additional sensors. The structure has a high degree of integration and is more intelligent. The second detection unit 55 is implemented using an existing air path pressure detection sensor. It determines whether the sample container 2 has been adsorbed by detecting the pressure change in the air path where the adsorption component 53 is located, so as to conduct testing and debugging and ensure stable transport during operation. It can also report an error when the sample container 2 is abnormally detached during transport. In other embodiments, the second detection unit 55 can also be an infrared distance sensor set on one side of the suction cylinder. After the sample container 2 is adsorbed, there is a distance sensing within its detection range, which can also realize adsorption detection.

[0052] It should be noted that the reference Figure 3 The conveying mechanism 8 in this embodiment includes at least five conveyor belts, for example... Figure 3The conveyor belts in the middle, from left to right, are used for input sample container 2, output sample container 2, input transport container 7, temporary transport container 7, and output transport container 7, respectively. The transport container 7 loaded with sample container 2 is input via the corresponding conveyor belt and transferred by the transfer device to the positioning mechanism 3. After the identification device 36 of the positioning mechanism 3 identifies the identification mark of the transport container 7, it clamps the transport container 7. The pick-and-place mechanism 5 clamps the container lid and rotates to open the lid. The suction cylinder of the pick-and-place mechanism 5 moves to above the opening of the transport container 7 and opens the solenoid valve of the suction cylinder to extend the suction cylinder to suck up the sample container 2. According to the sensing of the second detection unit 55, after sucking up the sample container 2, the solenoid valve works to retract the suction cylinder and move the sample container 2 out. When there is no sample container 2 in the transport container 7, the suction cylinder extends to the limit position. According to the magnetic ring signal, it is determined that there is no sample container 2, and the subsequent steps are executed. The transfer device carries the sucked sample container 2 to Another identification device 36 identifies the identification mark of sample container 2, and then transfers sample container 2 to the conveyor belt to output sample container 2 for testing; after sample container 2 is taken out of transport container 7, it is closed by the pick-and-place mechanism 5, the positioning mechanism 3 is released, and the transfer device transfers the transport container 7 to the conveyor belt for temporary storage, waiting for sample container 2 to complete the test; the sample container 2 that has completed the test is input to the sorting position by the input sample container 2 conveyor belt, and the transfer device transports it to the top of the open transport container 7 on the positioning mechanism 3, the second telescopic mechanism 54 extends, and the sample container 2 below the pick-and-place mechanism 5 falls into the sample container 2 along the guide sleeve 35. After the system counts until the number of sample containers 2 placed in the transport container 7 reaches the upper limit, it closes the cover and transfers the transport container 7 to the output transport container 7 conveyor belt, and transports it to the storage system; among them, the storage system, testing system, etc. are implemented based on existing technology, and will not be described in detail.

[0053] On the other hand, a preferred embodiment of the present invention also provides a sample testing system, which applies the above-mentioned sorting system.
