Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of experimental apparatus for the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to an experimental consumables storage and loading / unloading module. Background Technology

[0002] Pretreatment of Chinese herbal medicines is a crucial step in Chinese herbal medicine research and quality control, and its effectiveness directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the analytical results.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine analysis pretreatment processes mainly rely on manual operation, which is inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to design automated experimental devices for Chinese medicine analysis pretreatment to improve experimental efficiency.

[0004] The automated experimental device for pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine analysis has effectively improved experimental efficiency, but it has also increased the consumption of experimental consumables (such as volumetric flasks and conical flasks). Therefore, it is necessary to design a consumable rack for storing experimental consumables and a loading and unloading component for loading and unloading experimental consumables.

[0007] An experimental consumables storage and loading / unloading module includes at least one consumables rack for storing experimental consumables and at least one loading / unloading mechanism for removing or placing experimental consumables from the consumables rack.

[0008] The consumable rack is movably equipped with multiple consumable trays. One end of the bottom of each consumable tray is connected to a guide groove, and the top is provided with a consumable hole for placing the corresponding experimental consumables.

[0009] The loading and unloading mechanism includes a loading and unloading bracket that can move along the X, Y, and Z directions and a shovel plate disposed in the X direction of the loading and unloading bracket, and the guide groove is used for the shovel plate to pass through and be inserted.

[0010] Optionally, the guide groove is provided with a hook groove, and the end of the shovel plate near the consumable rack is provided with an upward-flipping barb, and the hook groove is used for the barb to hook.

[0011] Optionally, the consumable rack includes a frame and multiple support plates disposed within the frame. Multiple partitions are disposed at equal intervals on the support plates, and adjacent partitions form a space for placing the consumable tray.

[0012] Optionally, the frame is provided with indicator lights for indicating the status of the consumable trays in the corresponding space.

[0013] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: by setting up a consumable rack for placing sample consumables and a loading and unloading mechanism used in conjunction with it, this application adapts to the needs of large consumption of experimental consumables and automatic loading and unloading in the automated experimental device for pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine analysis.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are one embodiment of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0019] This embodiment provides a module for storing and loading / unloading experimental consumables.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An experimental consumables storage and loading / unloading module includes at least one consumables rack 1 and at least one loading / unloading mechanism 2, wherein the consumables rack 1 and the loading / unloading mechanism 2 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0021] The consumables rack 1 is equipped with a consumables tray 3 for placing various experimental consumables (including sample bottles (conical flasks, volumetric flasks, extraction flasks, chromatography bottles, etc.), funnels, evaporating dishes, etc.). The consumables rack 1 includes a frame 11 and a multi-layer support plate 12 disposed within the frame 11. Multiple partitions 121 are vertically arranged at equal intervals on the support plate 12. The space between adjacent partitions 121 is formed for placing the consumables tray 3, and when the consumables tray 3 is placed on the support plate 12, there is a certain gap between the consumables tray 3 and the upper support plate 12.

[0022] The frame 11 is equipped with indicator lights 111 for indicating the status of the consumable tray 3 in the corresponding space. Different colors of the indicator lights 111 are used to indicate different statuses of the consumable tray 3. For example, red can be set to indicate a warning fault, yellow to indicate that it cannot be moved out during operation, green to indicate that it can be replaced, and green to indicate that it has been completed.

[0023] In order to separate the experimental consumables on the consumable tray 3 and avoid mutual interference between the experimental consumables, the top of the consumable tray 3 is provided with consumable holes 31 for placing the corresponding experimental consumables.

[0024] The loading and unloading mechanism 2 includes a loading and unloading bracket 21 that can move along the X, Y, and Z directions and a shovel plate 22 disposed in the X direction of the loading and unloading bracket 21.

[0025] The bottom of the consumable tray 3, near the end of the loading / unloading mechanism 2, is connected to a guide groove 32. The guide groove 32 is used for the shovel plate 22 to pass through and insert, so as to realize the connection between the shovel plate 22 and the consumable tray 3 when the loading / unloading mechanism 2 loads and unloads materials, facilitating loading and unloading. In order to further improve the connection stability between the shovel plate 22 and the consumable tray 3 during loading and unloading, a hook groove 321 is provided in the guide groove 32. The end of the shovel plate 22 near the consumable rack 1 is provided with an upward flipping hook 221, and the hook groove 321 is used for the hook 221 to hook.

[0026] When loading and unloading experimental consumables, the shovel plate 22 is first moved to the coaxial position of the guide groove 32 of the corresponding consumable tray 3 by the Y and Z direction motion components. Then, the X direction motion component drives the shovel plate 22 to insert into the guide groove 32. When the barb 221 is located in the hook groove 321, the Z direction motion component drives the shovel plate 22 to move upward and make the barb 221 hook into the hook groove 321. Then, the X direction motion component drives the shovel plate 22 to move away from the consumable rack 1, so that the consumable tray 3 is disengaged from the consumable rack 1. At this time, the loading and unloading operation of experimental consumables can be realized. The loading operation of experimental consumables is similar to the loading and unloading operation, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0027] In this application, the movement of the loading and unloading mechanism 2 along the X, Y, and Z directions can be achieved by common structures such as ball screws / trapezoidal screws, synchronous belts / toothed belts, gear racks, hydraulic cylinders, and pneumatic cylinders.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
