[0028] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used herein only to describe different instances, and do not imply a relative importance or a quantity limitation. Thus, the features defined by "first" and "second" can include at least one of the features, explicitly or implicitly. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0029] In the present application, unless otherwise specifically defined and limited, the "on", "under", "above", and "over" of a first feature to a second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium.

The "under", "below", and "underneath" of a first feature to a second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or only means that the first feature is horizontally lower than the second feature.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. The use of the terms "and / or" in the description of the present application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] See Figures 2 to 4 , and Figure 7 , and Figure 8The application provides a sample recycling device 101, which comprises a sample recycling door assembly 100, a recycling box 200 and an electric control system (not shown in the figure), the sample recycling door assembly 100 comprises a sample recycling slide rail 110, a sample recycling door 120 moving along the sample recycling slide rail 110 and a driving mechanism 130, the sample recycling slide rail 110 has a recycling channel 118 communicating with the recycling box 200, the sample recycling slide rail 110 also has a sample recycling opening 112 communicating with the recycling channel 118, the driving mechanism 130 is connected with the sample recycling door 120 and is used for driving the sample recycling door 120 to open or close the sample recycling opening 112; the sample recycling opening 112 is provided with a first detection unit 111 used for detecting the blocking condition of the sample recycling opening 112, the driving mechanism 130 and the first detection unit 111 are connected with the electric control system respectively, and the driving mechanism 130 can stop moving in response to the indication of the first detection unit 111. It can be understood that when the sample recycling door 120 opens the sample recycling opening 112, the collection box can be put into the sample recycling slide rail 110 through the sample recycling opening 112 and is thrown into the recycling box 200 along the recycling channel 118. When the user's hand is placed in the sample recycling opening 112 by mistake or when the collection box is not completely put into the sample recycling opening 112 and blocks the sample recycling opening 112, the sample recycling door 120 can stop moving in response to the indication of the first detection unit 111, so that the sample recycling door 120 can stop closing, thereby avoiding that the user's hand or the collection box is clamped by the sample recycling door 120, and thus the safety of the sample recycling device 101 can be improved.

[0032] Optionally, the first detection unit 111 is configured as one or a combination of infrared reflection sensors, infrared opposite sensors and micro switches.

[0033] Exemplarily, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the first detection unit 111 is configured as an infrared opposite sensor, and the edge of the sample recycling opening 112 is provided with an infrared opening 112a corresponding to the light outlet of the infrared opposite sensor. Since the infrared detection is a diffuse light beam, the smaller the infrared opening 112a is, the more accurate the detection is, so that the diameter of the infrared opening 112a can be slightly smaller than the diameter of the light outlet, for example, the diameter of the infrared opening 112a is 0.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the light outlet.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2 the sample recycling slide rail 110 is located above the recycling box 200 along the height direction of the recycling box 200, and an included angle α is formed between the sample recycling slide rail 110 and the horizontal plane where the sample recycling opening 112 is located, and 15° < α < 90°. It can be understood that in this way, the collection box can smoothly slide to the recycling box 200 along the sample recycling slide rail 110, and damage caused by falling impact can be avoided.

[0035] The bottom of the recycling box 200 is provided with a buffer layer for further reducing the impact caused by the falling of the collection box. Optionally, the entire body of the recycling box 200 is made of PP hollow plastic, so that the recycling box 200 is well buffered, light in weight, low in cost, and easy to move by the recycling personnel.

[0036] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rework door assembly 100 further includes a mounting bracket 140, and the driving mechanism 130 is configured as a push rod motor 131 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 140. The output shaft of the push rod motor 131 extends out of the mounting bracket 140 and is connected to the rework door 120. In this way, as the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 extends or retracts, the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 can drive the rework door 120 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the rework opening 112. Specifically, when the electric control system sends an opening signal to the push rod motor 131, the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 retracts to the shortest stroke limit, so that the rework opening 112 is in a fully open state; when the electric control system sends a closing signal to the push rod motor 131, the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 extends to the maximum stroke limit, so that the rework opening 112 is in a fully closed state.

[0037] Further, the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 is provided with a mounting hole 132, and the rework door 120 is provided with a pin 122 which is movably arranged in the mounting hole 132. The pin 122 is connected with the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 without being fixed, so as to facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly of the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 and the rework door 120.

[0038] The rework door assembly 100 further includes a guide rail 150, which has a sliding groove 151 extending along the opening and closing direction of the rework door 120. The rework door 120 is provided with a sliding fitting member which is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 151. It can be understood that the guide rail 150 and the sliding fitting member cooperate to play a guiding role, thereby guiding the rework door 120 to open and close more stably.

[0039] Optionally, the sliding fitting member is configured as a roller 121, thereby facilitating the reduction of frictional resistance between the sliding fitting member and the guide rail 150. Alternatively, the sliding fitting member can also be configured as a sliding block slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 151.

[0040] Optionally, in an embodiment, the number of guide rails 150 is configured as two, and the two guide rails 150 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the return gate 120, the sliding fitting member is configured as a roller 121, and the roller 121 is installed on both sides of the return gate 120. In this way, the left and right sides of the return gate 120 can be supported by the corresponding rollers 121 and guide rails 150. Specifically, the rollers 121 and the pins 122 on the left and right sides of the return gate 120 form a three-point support positioning, and the three-point support positioning structure is stable, thereby facilitating further improvement of the stability of the opening and closing of the return gate 120.

[0041] Further, as shown in Figure 6 the chute 151 has a first wall 151a, a second wall 151b, a third wall 151c and a fourth wall 151d; the first wall 151a and the second wall 151b are oppositely arranged and used for rolling cooperation with the wheel surface of the roller 121, and the third wall 151c and the fourth wall 151d are oppositely arranged and used for stop cooperation with both sides of the roller 121 along the thickness direction of the roller 121. In this way, the third wall 151c and the fourth wall 151d form a stop to the roller 121 along the left-right direction, so that the roller 121 can only slide along the first wall 151a and the second wall 151b, and cannot be offset to the left and right.

[0042] Optionally, the first wall 151a, the second wall 151b, the third wall 151c and the fourth wall 151d are configured as an integrally formed bending piece.

[0043] In an embodiment, the distance between the first wall 151a and the second wall 151b is L, the diameter of the roller 121 is D, and 0.5mm≤L-D≤1mm. It can be understood that by setting 0.5mm≤L-D≤1mm, the roller 121 and the first wall 151a or the second wall 151b are formed, thereby facilitating the avoidance of the return gate 120 being stuck in the chute 151. And by setting L-D≤1mm, the gap between the roller 121 and the first wall 151a or the second wall 151b can be avoided to be too large to cause the return gate 120 to swing; by setting 0.5mm≤L-D, the gap between the roller 121 and the first wall 151a or the second wall 151b can be avoided to be too small to cause the return gate 120 to be still easily stuck in the chute 151. Optionally, the value of L-D can be 0.5mm, 0.55mm, 0.6mm, 0.9mm, or 1mm, etc., which can be set according to actual needs, as long as it is within the above range, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0044] And the pin 122 is connected with the output shaft of the push rod motor 131 without being fixed, which can adapt to the swing of the return gate 120, thereby avoiding the push rod motor 131 being stuck and affecting the service life of the push rod motor 131.

[0045] For example, in one embodiment, the sample door 120 has a bottom wall 123 and two side walls 124 respectively connected to both sides of the bottom wall 123. A pin 122 is provided on the bottom wall 123. The two side walls 124 are respectively provided with corresponding slide grooves 151. Nuts are provided on the two side walls 124 respectively. A screw is provided on the roller 121. The roller 121 is installed on the side wall 124 by threading the screw to the nut.

[0046] The sample recovery device also includes a support rod 160. A mounting bracket 140 is connected to one side of the sample recovery slide rail 110 via a guide rail 150 and is set at an angle to the slide rail 110. The two ends of the support rod 160 are respectively connected to the sample recovery slide rail 110 and the mounting bracket 140. The sample recovery slide rail 110, the mounting bracket 140, and the support rod 160 together form a triangular support structure. It is understood that the triangular support structure has high strength and is not easily deformed under stress, which helps to improve the firmness of the sample recovery device 101 assembly.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the guide rail 150 is welded and fixed to the edge of the mounting bracket 140 facing the sample opening 112, and the other end of the guide rail 150 is connected to the slide rail body 114 by screws, with the guide rail 150 and the mounting bracket 140 located on the same plane. Two support rods 160 are configured, each with one end connected to the slide rail body 114 by screws and the other end connected to the mounting bracket 140 by screws.

[0048] A second detection unit is provided at one end of the sample return slide rail 110 near the recycling bin 200. The second detection unit is used to detect whether the collection box has passed through the sample return slide rail 110. Optionally, the second detection unit is configured as an infrared reflection sensor, an infrared through-beam sensor, or a micro switch.

[0049] When the second detection unit detects that the collection box has passed the sample return slide rail 110, the electronic control system sends a signal to the push rod motor to close the door. The output shaft of the push rod motor 131 extends to the maximum stroke limit, thereby making the sample return port 112 completely closed.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the slide rail 110 includes a slide rail body 114 and an upper cover 115. The upper cover 115 is detachably connected to the opening of the slide rail body 114, and the second detection unit is installed on the upper cover 115. Optionally, the upper cover 115 is connected to the slide rail body 114 by screws.

[0051] Further, the still sample slide rail 110 further comprises a connecting plate 116 welded between the two guide rails 150, and the upper cover 115 is connected to the connecting plate 116 by screws. Moreover, the bottom of the connecting plate 116 is provided with a first flange 117 extending outwardly towards the still sample port 112, and the still sample door 120 further comprises a baffle 125 connected to the bottom wall 123 by screws, and the baffle 125 is provided with a second flange 125a corresponding to the first flange 117, and the second flange 125a is used to close the still sample port 112 by abutting against the first flange 117.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 The application further provides a smart self-service device 1 comprising a cabinet 102 and the still sample device 101 described in any one of the above embodiments, the cabinet 102 has a storage space therein, the still sample device 101 is arranged in the storage space, the cabinet 102 is provided with a through hole 102a corresponding to the still sample port 112.
