[0043] Reference Figures 1-9 In the preferred embodiment, the first rack 10 is arranged on one side of the second rack 11, and the conveying belts 1 (two conveying belts 1 are driven to rotate by different motors, respectively) are arranged on the first rack 10 and the second rack 11, respectively. The reagent box feeding part 2 is arranged on the first rack 10, the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10 is used to convey the stacking tray 21, the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11 is used to convey the reagent box 22, and the reagent tube feeding part 3, the filling mechanism 4, the film sealing mechanism 5, and the labeling mechanism 7 are arranged on the second rack 11. The adsorption assembly 20 can adsorb the reagent box 22 in the stacking tray 21 to the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11. In this embodiment, the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10 and the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11 are arranged in a “T” shape, or the conveying direction of the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10 is perpendicular to (relative to perpendicular) the conveying direction of the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11, so as to avoid mutual interference and better utilize the space and reduce the length of the equipment.

[0044] Specifically, a plurality of reagent boxes 22 are placed in the stacking tray 21, and a plurality of stacking trays 21 are sequentially arranged in order on the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10 in the actual process. With the start of the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10, the stacking tray 21 moves along the conveying direction of the conveying belt 1, and the reagent box 22 in the stacking tray 21 is adsorbed by the adsorption assembly 20 to the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11. When the reagent boxes 22 in one stacking tray 21 are adsorbed, the conveying belt 1 is started again, and the empty stacking tray 21 moves to the downstream of the conveying belt 1 of the first rack 10 for recycling, and the stacking tray 21 arranged behind is adsorbed and transferred by the adsorption assembly 20 again, and so on.

[0045] Reference Figures 1-4 In the preferred embodiment, the adsorption assembly 20 includes a transverse driving part 201, a longitudinal driving part 202, and a first suction cup 203. The longitudinal driving part 202 is connected with the transverse driving part 201, and the first suction cup 203 is connected with the longitudinal driving part 202. The transverse driving part 201 can drive the first suction cup 203 to move back and forth between the stacking tray 21 and the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11, and the longitudinal driving part 202 can drive the first suction cup 203 to move up and down to adsorb the reagent box 22 to the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, the lateral drive unit 201 can adopt a linear module structure (e.g., a slider and guide rail drive method). The longitudinal drive unit 202 can be slidably connected to the guide rail of the lateral drive unit 201 via a slider, and the lateral displacement of the first suction cup 203 is achieved by a cylinder drive (the so-called lateral displacement refers to the horizontal movement from the conveyor belt 1 direction of the first frame 10 to the conveyor belt 1 direction of the second frame 11). The first suction cup 203 is preferably a vacuum suction cup. The longitudinal drive unit 202 is driven by a cylinder, and the piston rod end of the first suction cup 203 is installed with the first suction cup 203. During operation, after the lateral drive unit 201 moves the first suction cup 203 to directly above the reagent kit 22, the longitudinal drive unit 202 drives the first suction cup 203 to descend until the first suction cup 203 contacts the surface of the reagent kit 22. At this time, the vacuum generator is activated to generate negative pressure inside the first suction cup 203, and finally, under the action of negative pressure, the reagent kit 22 in the stacking tray 21 is sucked up (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the first suction cup 203 holds the reagent kit 22 to be filled. Then, the longitudinal drive unit 202 lifts the first suction cup 203 holding the reagent kit 22, and the transverse drive unit 201 moves the first suction cup 203 laterally above the conveyor belt 1 of the second frame 11, placing the reagent kit 22 onto the conveyor belt 1 of the second frame 11. The reagent kit 22 is then transported by the conveyor belt 1 of the second frame 11 to each processing station.

The positioning seat 110 is provided with a containing cavity for accommodating the reagent box 22. During the conveying process, the reagent box 22 is placed in the positioning seat 110, so that displacement of the reagent box 22 due to the operation of the conveying belt can be prevented, and the stability is better. The station of the reagent tube feeding part 3, the filling mechanism 4 and the film sealing mechanism 5 is respectively provided with a clamping piece 111, which is located on both sides of the conveying belt 1 of the second rack 11. The clamping piece 111 includes a clamping air cylinder 1110 and a clamping plate 1111. The clamping air cylinder 1110 can drive the clamping plate 1111 to move towards the positioning seat 110, so as to clamp the positioning seat 110. Specifically, during the process of filling the reagent tube with reagent solution or sealing the film, if the position of the reagent box 22 deviates, the position of the solution filling or the film sealing may also deviate. Therefore, the stability of the reagent box 22 needs to be ensured during the filling and sealing process. When the reagent box 22 reaches the filling station or the film sealing station, the two clamping pieces 111 act synchronously. The piston rod of the clamping air cylinder 1110 extends to push the clamping plate 1111 to move towards the positioning seat 110, so as to clamp the positioning seat 110 from both sides, so as to prevent the reagent box 22 from shaking easily, and the stability is improved.
