Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transmission equipment technology, specifically to the field of reagent kit delivery mechanism technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern medical testing, reagent kits are crucial diagnostic tools, and their quality directly affects the accuracy of test results and the reliability of clinical judgment. Therefore, during the production and packaging of reagent kits, full inspection is usually required to ensure that each product meets relevant standards and specifications.

[0003] Due to the special nature of medical devices, the entire testing process must strictly avoid human contact to prevent contamination or cross-infection. The industry commonly uses automated visual inspection systems for full inspection of reagent kits. The image acquisition stage largely relies on industrial cameras to photograph and identify the reagent kits as they move continuously on a conveyor belt, which is currently the mainstream testing method.

[0004] Therefore, the reagent kit must maintain stable and uniform movement during transport to reduce problems such as image blurring and positioning deviation. However, the traditional belt conveyor mechanism widely used today is susceptible to factors such as uneven belt tension and roller eccentricity during operation, which can cause slight displacement or even jumping of the reagent kit during transport, affecting the stability of image acquisition. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes a reagent kit delivery mechanism that aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional belt drive structures in terms of operational stability, speed consistency, and positioning accuracy through high-precision transmission, making it more suitable for reagent kit testing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A reagent kit delivery mechanism includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail arranged in parallel and spaced apart, a belt arranged longitudinally along the first guide rail and the second guide rail, and a driving wheel and a driven wheel;

[0008] It also includes a drive shaft that can synchronously rotate the drive wheels of the first guide rail and the second guide rail, and a reduction motor disposed at one end of the drive shaft. The upper end of the belt is provided with a detection plate that spans across the belts of the first guide rail and the second guide rail, and the detection plate is fitted between the first guide rail and the second guide rail.

[0009] A synchronously driven belt is installed on both sides of the guide rail, and a detection plate is installed above the belt that can fit between the first and second guide rails. At this time, the detection plate moves relatively stably between the guide rails, and is also synchronously driven on both sides, so that the overall detection plate maintains a relatively stable state during movement, which facilitates the imaging and identification of the reagent kit on its upper end.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the driving wheel is located below the first and second guide rails, and a tensioning wheel is also located on the opposite side of the driven wheel.

[0011] In some possible implementations, guide wheels are also provided between the driving wheel and the tensioning wheel, and between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are profile structures, each having an upper mounting groove and a lower mounting groove, respectively. The tension wheel and the driven wheel are disposed in the upper mounting groove, and the guide wheel is disposed in the lower mounting groove.

[0013] In some possible implementations, anti-reverse blocks are provided between the tension wheel and the driven wheel.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the first and second guide rails are provided with a support plate at the bottom of the belt on the side above the driven wheel, and the belt is clamped between the support plate and the top of the first and second guide rails.

[0015] In some possible implementations, guide ramps extending outward are provided at both ends between the first guide rail and the second guide rail. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this case based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 In this application, a reagent kit conveying mechanism 100 is used to transport reagent kits 200. Non-contact 100-fold inspection of the reagent kits 200 is required. A mature method is to use an industrial camera 300 to photograph all reagent kits 200 passing through the inspection area. However, a key consideration is maintaining the stability of the reagent kits 200 as they pass through the inspection area. Reagent kits 200 are relatively lightweight, and conventional conveying methods utilize belt drives, which are cost-effective and easy to maintain. However, long-distance transport can lead to insufficient stability, affecting the photographic quality. Therefore, this application provides a reagent kit conveying mechanism 100 in the inspection area to photograph and inspect the reagent kits 200 passing through it.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 The reagent kit delivery mechanism 100 of this application includes a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12 arranged in parallel intervals, which are on the same horizontal plane. The main inventive point of this application is a stable delivery method, so the support leg part is not shown. Similarly, the installation structure of the industrial camera 300 is not shown. Its installation structure can be a gantry or the like. Support legs and gantry are common technical means of automated equipment, and will not be described in detail.

[0027] At this point, a belt 2, a drive pulley 31, and a driven pulley 32 are respectively arranged longitudinally along the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12. Here, the longitudinal direction is the direction of the reagent kit 200's flow movement, and the drive pulley 31 and driven pulley 32 are the devices that drive the belt 2 to rotate. At this point, the drive pulleys 31 on the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 are in a symmetrical state. The drive shaft 4 can be used to make the drive pulleys 31 on both sides rotate synchronously, and a reduction motor 5 is set at one end.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some preferred embodiments, to make the belt 2 transmission more stable, the driving pulley 31 is located below the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, and a tensioning pulley 33 is provided on the opposite side of the driven pulley 32. The opposite side is the longitudinal side as described above, which can tension the belt 2.

[0029] Furthermore, guide wheels 34 are provided between the driving wheel 31 and the tensioning wheel 33, and between the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32. This allows for further adjustment of the tension and makes the transmission of the belt 2 more balanced at both ends. Specifically, the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 are profile structures, each with an upper mounting groove 13 and a lower mounting groove 14. The upper mounting groove 13 and the lower mounting groove 14 are through grooves arranged longitudinally. The tensioning wheel 33 and the driven wheel 32 are located in the upper mounting groove 13, the guide wheel 34 is installed in the lower mounting groove 14, and the driving wheel 31 is located at its lower end. During transmission, the tensioning wheel 33 and the driven wheel 32 are structures subjected to the force transmitted by the assembly line reagent kit 200. Therefore, anti-slip blocks 35 are provided between the tensioning wheel 33 and the driven wheel 32 to prevent them from slipping with the upper mounting groove 13.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 As a stabilizing device for the belt 2, a support plate 15 is provided above the driven pulley 32 on the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, that is, at the bottom of the belt 2 which is above during transmission. Furthermore, the belt 2 is clamped between the support plate 15 and the tops of the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12. That is, a groove is provided above the support plate 15 to accommodate at least part of the belt 2, thus clamping the belt 2 between the bottom support plate 15 and the tops of the guide rails, enabling more stable transmission.

[0031] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 A detection plate 6 is provided at the upper end of the belt 2, spanning the belt 2 positioned between the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12. The reagent kit 200 is placed on the detection plate 6. Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 At this time, the detection plate 6 is fitted between the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12. Furthermore, between the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, guide ramps 16 extending outward are respectively provided at both ends, so that the detection plate 6 can be smoothly connected to the front and rear production lines.

[0032] Thus, belts 2, which can be synchronously driven, are provided on both sides of the guide rails, and a detection plate 6, which can be fitted between the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12, is provided above the belts 2. At this time, the detection plate 6 makes relatively stable guided movement between the guide rails, and is also synchronously driven on both sides, so that the overall detection plate 6 maintains a relatively stable state when moving, which is convenient for taking pictures and identifying the reagent kit 200 at its upper end.

[0033] As stated above, this case protects a reagent delivery mechanism, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
