[0003] However, the current practice is to use multiple independent tracks to connect the pretreatment equipment and each testing equipment separately. Each time a new testing equipment is added, an additional track needs to be laid. This not only results in a messy track layout in the conveying area, but also occupies a lot of installation space, increasing the space pressure on the laboratory or production site.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a track-changing module is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 The system includes: a conveying track 1 extending along a first preset direction; a track-changing trolley 2 slidably connected to the conveying track 1, the track-changing trolley 2 being movably arranged along the first preset direction, the track-changing trolley 2 including a support platform 21 and a transport component 22 mounted on the support platform 21, the transport component 22 being used to load the material to be transferred, the support platform 21 being rotatably arranged so that the transport component 22 extends along the first preset direction or along a second preset direction, wherein there is a preset angle between the first preset direction and the second preset direction.

[0027] It should be noted that when the track-changing module is applied to the pretreatment integrated machine, the transport component 22 is used to load the test tube rack containing the test tubes. By setting the support frame, the two sides of the support frame 225 can provide some support for the test tube rack.

[0028] The track-changing trolley 2 in this embodiment has a rotatable support platform 21, which allows the support platform 21 to rotate as needed to extend the transport component 22 along a first preset direction or a second preset direction. When the transport component 22 extends along the first preset direction, it can reach the feed track of the first inspection equipment along the first preset direction. When the transport component 22 extends along the second preset direction, it can reach the feed track of the second inspection equipment along the second preset direction. The track-changing module in this embodiment realizes the conveying of materials in different directions. Through one track-changing module, the pretreatment equipment can be connected to one, two, three or more inspection equipment respectively, replacing the traditional design of multiple independent tracks. This can significantly reduce the number of tracks and layout complexity, reduce physical connection points and track length, further optimize space utilization, and solve the technical problem in related technologies where the pretreatment equipment and each inspection equipment are connected by independent tracks, occupying a large amount of installation space.

[0029] By employing the track and track-changing trolley design in this embodiment, the system can be easily integrated into existing laboratories or production lines without large-scale modifications to existing facilities. It is easily expandable or adjustable according to the specific needs of the laboratory or production site. For example, when adding a new testing device, only the path planning of the track-changing trolley needs to be adjusted. The rotating support platform 21 changes the extension direction of the transport component 22, controlling the track-changing trolley 2 to stop at the corresponding location, thereby docking with the feed track of the new equipment. This eliminates the need to re-lay tracks. Compared to traditional multi-track systems, this design reduces unnecessary hardware redundancy and simplifies the system structure.

[0030] In some embodiments, the angle between the first preset direction and the second preset direction depends on the laying angle of the feed track of the inspection equipment. The first preset direction and the second preset direction can adopt any angle according to the overall layout of the equipment, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, etc. The track changing module in this embodiment can be flexibly laid out according to actual needs.

[0031] Preferably, the first preset direction and the second preset direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0032] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The track-changing trolley 2 includes a rotary drive device, which comprises a rotary motor 231 and a rotary table 232. The input end of the rotary table 232 is driven and connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 231, and the output shaft of the rotary table 232 is driven and connected to the support platform 21. By driving the rotary table 232 with the rotary motor 231, precise positioning and steering of the support platform 21 can be achieved, which allows the support platform 21 to flexibly change direction.

[0033] Specifically, the rotary table 232 is a standard component with an internal transmission structure, and the support platform has corresponding mounting holes for connecting with the output shaft of the rotary table 232.

[0034] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 4The rotary drive device includes a connector 233, which is sleeved on the output shaft of the rotary table 232. The end of the connector 233 furthest from the rotary motor 231 is connected to the support platform 21. A rotary positioning component 241 is mounted on the connector 233. A first sensor 242 is mounted on the rotary table 232 corresponding to the rotary positioning component 241. The first sensor 242 is used to detect the position or departure status of the rotary positioning component 241. By setting the first sensor 242 to detect the position or departure status of the rotary positioning component 241, when the first sensor 242 detects that the rotary positioning component 241 is in position, it indicates that the transport component 22 has rotated to the designated position and direction. The extension direction of the transport component 22 is the same as the direction of the feed track of the inspection equipment. After the track-changing trolley 2 moves to the designated location, the transport component 22 can successfully dock with the feed track of the inspection equipment. At this time, the material on the transport component 22 can be transported to the designated equipment.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first sensor 242 is a slotted photoelectric sensor.

[0036] In some embodiments, a rotation positioning member 241 is provided at a position corresponding to the second preset direction to detect whether the carrier component 22 has rotated to the angle corresponding to the second preset direction.

[0037] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 4 The rotary motor 231 includes an encoder, which includes a scale 25 and a second sensor corresponding to the scale 25 to detect the rotation angle of the rotary motor 231. By obtaining the rotation angle of the rotary motor 231 through the encoder, the rotary motor 231 can achieve high-precision angle control, enabling the carrier component 22 to achieve accurate directional control.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second sensor is a slotted photoelectric sensor.

[0039] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 4 The conveying component 22 includes: a conveyor belt 221, which is rotatably mounted; and a conveyor drive device, which includes a conveyor motor 222 and a power transmission assembly 223. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 222 is connected to the input end of the power transmission assembly 223, and the output end of the power transmission assembly 223 is drivenly connected to a pulley set 224, on which the conveyor belt 221 is wound. Through this arrangement, the conveyor motor 222 provides a power source, and in conjunction with the power transmission assembly 223, ensures that the conveyor belt 221 operates at an appropriate speed. When the material arrives at the conveying component, it can continue to receive forward momentum, thus allowing it to be smoothly transferred to the next inspection equipment.

[0040] Specifically, the carrier motor 222 is fixedly mounted on the support platform 21, and the power transmission assembly 223 includes a first power transmission wheel, a second power transmission wheel, and a power transmission belt. By setting the power transmission assembly 223, the power output by the carrier motor 222 can be transmitted to the carrier belt 221.

[0041] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The transport component 22 includes a support frame 225, on which a pulley assembly 224 and a transport drive device are mounted. The support frame 225 is fixedly mounted on the support platform 21. By setting up the support frame 225, the transport component 22 is supported.

[0042] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The conveying component 22 includes an inlet and an outlet for materials to pass through the conveyor belt 221. An inlet sensor 261 is installed at the inlet of the conveyor component 22, and an outlet sensor 262 is installed at the outlet of the conveyor component 22. By setting the inlet sensor 261 and the outlet sensor 262, the entry of materials into the conveyor belt 221 and the exit of materials from the conveyor belt 221 are detected.

[0043] Specifically, the inlet sensor 261 and the outlet sensor 262 are photoelectric sensors. The inlet sensor 261 and the outlet sensor 262 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 225. The support frame 225 has a clearance hole for the photoelectric signal to pass through. When the test tube rack reaches the inlet or outlet, it will block the photoelectric signal. Therefore, the inlet sensor 261 and the outlet sensor 262 can sense the arrival of the test tube rack, thereby controlling the conveyor belt 221 to transport the test tube rack.

[0044] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 The track-changing module includes: a slide table 3, which is slidably connected to the conveyor track 1; a conveyor belt 4, which extends along a first preset direction and is rotatably mounted; and a connecting bracket 5, one end of which is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 4, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to both the slide table 3 and the track-changing trolley 2. Thus, by connecting the conveyor belt 4 to the slide table 3 and the track-changing trolley 2, the track-changing trolley 2 can be driven to move linearly, and the slide table 3 reduces the frictional force of the track-changing trolley 2.

[0045] Specifically, the track-changing module includes a conveyor pulley and a conveyor motor. The conveyor motor drives the conveyor pulley to rotate. There are at least two conveyor pulleys. A conveyor belt 4 is wound around the conveyor pulley, so that the conveyor belt extends along a first preset direction to realize the linear conveying of the track-changing trolley 2 and the material.

[0046] Specifically, the connecting bracket 5 includes a fixing clamp for fixing to the conveyor belt 4 and a support rod connected to the fixing clamp. The support rod extends along the height direction, and a connecting platform is provided at the other end of the support rod. A rotating platform 232 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting platform. A support platform 21 is installed above the rotating platform 232. A conveying positioning component 61 is installed on the top of the connecting platform, and a slide table 3 is also installed at the bottom of the connecting platform.

[0047] In some embodiments, the track-changing module includes a frame and support legs. The conveyor track 1 and the track-changing trolley 2 are both mounted on the frame. The frame is equipped with a drag chain groove for accommodating the drag chain. The support legs are used to support the frame, and the bottom of the support legs is equipped with pulleys to facilitate the movement of the track-changing module.

[0048] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 The track-changing module includes: a conveying and positioning component 61, which is fixedly mounted on the connecting bracket 5. The conveying and positioning component 61 has a fixed plate and a positioning plate 611 connected to the fixed plate, with the positioning plate 611 perpendicular to the fixed plate; and a third sensor 62, which is fixedly mounted on the frame of the track-changing module corresponding to the positioning plate 611. The conveying and positioning component 61 is used for positioning during the linear movement of the track-changing trolley 2.

[0049] Specifically, the conveying positioning component 61 is installed on the connecting platform of the connecting bracket 5, and the positioning plate 611 extends along the height direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, the third sensor 62 is a slotted photoelectric sensor.

[0051] The track-changing module in this embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 5 The track-changing module includes a limiting component 7, which includes a limiting bracket and a limiting block 71 mounted on the limiting bracket. The limiting block 71 is disposed opposite to the connecting bracket 5. By setting the limiting component 7, the limiting block 71 and the connecting bracket 5 can be grounded, thereby limiting the track-changing trolley.

[0052] In some embodiments, the limiting component 7 includes two components, which are respectively disposed at the beginning and end of the conveying track 1 to limit the track changing trolley 2.

[0053] In some embodiments, the limiting block 71 is made of an elastic material such as rubber.

[0054] Preferably, when the transport component 22 extends along the first preset direction, the transport component 22 is parallel to the conveying track 1. At this time, the track-changing trolley moves to the location of the first inspection equipment and stops moving. After the transport component 22 docks with the feed track of the first inspection equipment, it transports the material into the first inspection equipment. When the transport component 22 extends along the second preset direction, the transport component 22 is perpendicular to the conveying track 1. At this time, the track-changing trolley moves to the location of the second inspection equipment and stops moving. After the transport component 22 docks with the feed track of the second inspection equipment, it transports the material into the second inspection equipment.
