Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of receiving device technology, specifically to a folding drawer and receiving module. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, the pretreatment integrated machine is designed to be compatible with multiple sample receiving methods, such as automatic receiving via pneumatic channels or manual placement of sample tubes into the receiving drawer, which then slides into the receiving chamber.

[0003] However, when attempting to integrate the receiving drawer and pneumatic channel into the same pretreatment unit, in order to maintain structural compactness, multiple receiving methods typically share the same receiving path. If the receiving drawer is closed and reset in the device, the closed receiving drawer will block the receiving path, preventing the sample in the upper pneumatic channel from falling smoothly into the receiving chamber below the receiving drawer. Therefore, the receiving drawer, when closed, will block the sample's falling path, causing the sample transported by the pneumatic channel to fail to reach the receiving chamber, thus affecting the normal progress of subsequent sample processing.

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

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a folding drawer and receiving module to solve the technical problem in the related art that the receiving drawer will block the falling path of the sample when it is closed, thus affecting the normal receiving of the sample tube.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a folding drawer is provided, comprising: a drawer frame, the interior of which forms a material feeding path, and an output port at the bottom of the drawer frame; a drawer body, the interior of which is used to receive materials, and the drawer body is slidably connected to the drawer frame; the drawer body is foldably configured, and has a folded state and an open state connected to the drawer frame; when the drawer body is moved to the open state, a first input port is formed on the drawer body, and the first input port is connected to the output port; when the drawer body is moved to the folded state, the first input port is closed, and the material feeding path is connected to the output port.

[0007] Furthermore, the drawer body includes a base plate for receiving materials. When the drawer body is in the open state, the base plate is tilted, and the materials entering the first input port enter the output port through the base plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the base plate includes: a first connecting plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the drawer body; a second connecting plate, the end of which is rotatably connected to the first connecting plate and the end of which is rotatably connected to the drawer frame; when the drawer body is in the open state, the extension direction of the first connecting plate and the extension direction of the second connecting plate are collinear; when the drawer body is in the folded state, the first connecting plate rotates relative to the drawer body and the second connecting plate rotates relative to the drawer frame, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate form a preset angle.

[0009] Furthermore, the drawer frame includes a fixing plate, which includes: a first fixing plate, the first fixing plate being inclined, one end of the first fixing plate being connected to the end of the second connecting plate away from the first connecting plate, and the other end of the first fixing plate extending toward the direction close to the material feeding path; and a second fixing plate, the second fixing plate being connected to the end of the first fixing plate away from the second connecting plate, and the second fixing plate extending along the extension direction of the material feeding path.

[0010] Furthermore, the drawer body includes: a front baffle, which is connected to the end of the bottom plate away from the material feeding path; a first side plate and a second side plate, which are located on both sides of the bottom plate respectively, and are connected to both ends of the front baffle respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the folding drawer includes slide rails, with slide rails installed on both the first and second side panels, and the slide rails are connected one-to-one with the slide tracks located on the drawer frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a feeding port is provided at the top of the drawer frame, which is connected to the feeding path and is positioned opposite to the output port.

[0013] Furthermore, the folding drawer includes a sensor mounted on the side of the drawer frame away from the drawer body, which is used to sense the movement position of the drawer body.

[0014] A receiving module includes: an input device, the input device including a second input port and a conveying channel communicating with the second input port, the conveying channel communicating with a feeding path; the aforementioned folding drawer; and a receiving compartment located below the folding drawer, the receiving compartment communicating with an output port.

[0015] Furthermore, the receiving module includes a baffle plate, which is located at the junction of the conveying channel and the folding drawer. The baffle plate is inclined, and its end extends toward the direction close to the unloading path.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this embodiment, the folding drawer switches between a folded state and an open state by moving the drawer body. When the drawer body is moved to the open state, it moves to the outside of the drawer frame and opens, allowing materials to be fed into it. The materials pass through the drawer body to the output port for transfer to the next process. When the drawer body is moved to the folded state, it moves to the inside of the drawer frame and closes. The foldable drawer body reduces the space occupied by the drawer body, allowing the feeding path to connect with the output port. The drawer body no longer obstructs the feeding path, ensuring that materials entering the feeding path can flow to the output port. This solves the problem of traditional receiving drawers blocking the path when closed. In this embodiment, the folding drawer does not obstruct the material's falling path when closed, ensuring normal sample reception and transfer. This solves the technical problem in related technologies where receiving drawers obstruct the sample's falling path when closed, affecting the normal reception of sample tubes.

[0018] 2. The folding drawer enables the pretreatment unit to be compatible with two material receiving methods: sample tubes can be manually delivered through the receiving drawer or automatically transported through the pneumatic transfer channel. When the receiving drawer is closed, it will not obstruct the falling path of the material, ensuring normal sample reception and transfer. This optimized design not only improves the functionality and compatibility of the equipment, but also increases the sample tube receiving efficiency of the pretreatment unit.

[0032] 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.

[0033] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a folding drawer is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 11 The system includes: a drawer frame 1, with a material feeding path 11 inside the drawer frame 1 for material to pass through, and an output port 12 at the bottom of the drawer frame 1; a drawer body 2, with a material receiving area inside the drawer body 2, and the drawer body 2 is slidably connected to the drawer frame 1; the drawer body 2 is foldable and has a folded state and an open state connected to the drawer frame 1; when the drawer body 2 is moved to the open state, a first input port 3 is formed on the drawer body 2, and the first input port 3 is connected to the output port 12; when the drawer body 2 is moved to the folded state, the first input port 3 is closed, and the material feeding path 11 is connected to the output port 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the folding drawer switches between a folded state and an open state by moving the drawer body 2. When the drawer body 2 is moved to the open state, it moves to the outside of the drawer frame 1 and opens, allowing materials to be fed into it. The materials pass through the drawer body 2 to the output port 12 for transfer to the next process. When the drawer body 2 is moved to the folded state, it moves to the inside of the drawer frame 1 and closes. The foldable nature of the drawer body 2 reduces the space it occupies, allowing the feeding path 11 to connect with the output port 12. The drawer body 2 no longer obstructs the feeding path 11, ensuring that materials entering the feeding path 11 can flow to the output port 12. This solves the problem of traditional receiving drawers blocking the path when closed. In this embodiment, the folding drawer does not obstruct the material's falling path when closed, ensuring normal sample reception and transfer. This solves the technical problem in related technologies where the receiving drawer blocks the sample's falling path when closed, affecting the normal reception of sample tubes.

[0035] It is understandable that when the drawer body 2 is in the open state, since the drawer body 2 moves to the outside of the drawer frame 1, the feeding path 11 is still connected to the output port 12. That is, when the folding drawer in this embodiment is applied to the pre-processing integrated machine, when the folding drawer is in the open state, two methods can be used to receive sample tubes at the same time.

[0036] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The drawer body 2 includes a base plate 21 for receiving materials. When the drawer body 2 is in the open state, the base plate 21 is inclined, and the materials entering the first input port 3 enter the output port 12 through the base plate 21. Specifically, the inclined base plate 21 utilizes gravity to allow the materials to slide naturally to the output port 12, reducing the need for additional power or complex mechanical transmission devices to transfer materials.

[0037] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 11 The base plate 21 includes: a first connecting plate 211, one end of which is rotatably connected to the drawer body 2; and a second connecting plate 212, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first connecting plate 211 near the first connecting plate 211, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the drawer frame 1 away from the first connecting plate 211. When the drawer body 2 is in the open state, the extension direction of the first connecting plate 211 and the extension direction of the second connecting plate 212 are collinear. When the drawer body 2 is in the folded state, the first connecting plate 211 rotates relative to the drawer body 2, and the second connecting plate 212 rotates relative to the drawer frame 1. The first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 form a preset angle.

[0038] Specifically, one end of the first connecting plate 211 is hinged to the drawer body 2, the second connecting plate 212 is hinged to the first connecting plate 211, and the second connecting plate 212 is hinged to the drawer frame 1.

[0039] Specifically, the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 achieve state switching through rotational connection. When the movable drawer body 2 switches from the folded state to the open state, the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 rotate relative to each other. The first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 gradually change from the folded state to the collinearity of their extension directions. The first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 form a continuous and smooth material transmission path, ensuring that the material can smoothly slide from the first input port 3 to the output port 12. When the movable drawer body 2 switches from the open state to the folded state, as the drawer body 2 moves towards the drawer frame 1, the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 rotate relative to each other. The first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 gradually change from the collinearity to the presence of a preset angle between them. The space occupied by the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 also gradually decreases. In the folded state, the bottom plate 21 no longer participates in material transmission, thereby avoiding obstruction of the material feeding path 11.

[0040] Preferably, in the folded state, the extension direction of the second connecting plate 212 is parallel to the material feeding direction, so that the material can pass smoothly through the second connecting plate 212 and prevent the material from being blocked or entering the drawer body 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the drawer body 2 is provided with a tray, which is located below the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212, and is used to support the first connecting plate 211 and the second connecting plate 212 when the drawer is open.

[0042] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5The drawer frame 1 includes a fixing plate 13, which comprises: a first fixing plate 131, which is inclined and has one end connected to the end of a second connecting plate 212 away from the first connecting plate 211, and the other end extending towards the material feeding path 11; and a second fixing plate 132, which is connected to the end of the first fixing plate 131 away from the second connecting plate 212 and extends along the extension direction of the material feeding path 11. By setting the first fixing plate 131 as a transition section, gravity is utilized to allow the material passing through the bottom plate 21 to slide down the first fixing plate 131 to the output port 12. The first fixing plate 131 and the second connecting plate 212 are directly connected, forming a continuous transmission path, thus avoiding material jamming or accumulation caused by sudden angle changes or path breaks.

[0043] Specifically, the second fixing plate 132 is arranged along the extension direction of the feeding path 11, which further strengthens the guiding and restraining effect on the material, ensuring that the material can flow along the predetermined path and preventing the material from scattering or entering the non-feeding path area.

[0044] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 6 The drawer body 2 includes: a front baffle 22, which is connected to the end of the bottom plate 21 away from the material feeding path 11; a first side plate 23 and a second side plate 24, which are respectively located on both sides of the bottom plate 21 and are respectively connected to both ends of the front baffle 22. Thus, the connection between the front baffle 22 and one end of the bottom plate 21, and the first side plate 23 and the second side plate 24 located on both sides of the bottom plate 21 and connected to both ends of the front baffle 22, form a stable frame structure, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the drawer body 2. By pulling the front baffle 22 from outside the device, the drawer body 2 can be moved, allowing the drawer body 2 to switch between an open and folded state.

[0045] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 2 The folding drawer includes slide rails. Slide rails are installed on both the first side panel 23 and the second side panel 24, and the slide rails are connected one-to-one with the slide tracks located on the drawer frame 1. The design of the slide rails and slide tracks allows the drawer body 2 to be pushed and pulled very smoothly, reducing friction. Users can easily open and close the drawer with less force, allowing the drawer body 2 to easily switch between folded and open states.

[0046] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 2 and 6The top of the drawer frame 1 has a feeding port 4, which is connected to the feeding path 11 and is positioned opposite to the output port 12. This arrangement of the feeding port 4 allows it to be connected to other devices for receiving materials, enabling materials to enter the feeding port 4 and then pass through the feeding path 11 into the output port 12. This allows the device to be compatible with multiple receiving methods simultaneously.

[0047] Understandably, adding a receiving port to the side panel of drawer frame 1 allows for normal material reception without being blocked by the folding drawer, thus enabling compatibility with more receiving methods.

[0048] In the folding drawer of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The folding drawer includes a sensor installed on the side of the drawer frame 1 away from the drawer body 2. The sensor is used to sense the movement position of the drawer body 2. The sensor can monitor the specific position of the drawer body 2 in real time and can detect whether the drawer body 2 is fully open or closed, avoiding operational inconvenience caused by not being fully open or safety hazards caused by not being fully closed.

[0049] In the receiving module of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The receiving module includes: an input device 10, which includes a second input port and a conveying channel 101 connected to the second input port, the conveying channel 101 being connected to the unloading path 11; the aforementioned folding drawer; and a receiving compartment 20, which is located below the folding drawer and is connected to the output port 12.

[0050] In the receiving module of this embodiment, the input device 10 is designed to be flexible and compatible with different input methods, such as manual material placement and pneumatic conveying. The material is guided to the discharge port 4 through the conveying channel 101 and then enters the discharge path 11, adapting to the needs of different experimental or production scenarios. The conveying channel 101 is connected to the discharge path 11, and the receiving chamber 20 is connected to the output port 12, ensuring that the material can smoothly reach the target location.

[0051] Preferably, the input device 10 is located above the folding drawer, making full use of the vertical space and facilitating the entry of materials into the feeding path 11.

[0052] Specifically, when the drawer body 2 is moved to the open state, materials can be fed into the drawer body 2, and materials can also be received simultaneously through the input device 10. When the drawer body 2 is moved to the folded state, the drawer body 2 moves into the drawer frame 1, the drawer body 2 is closed, and the drawer body 2 can be folded, compressing the space occupied by the drawer body 2. Therefore, the feeding path 11 can be connected to the output port 12, and the materials input by the input device 10 will not be blocked by the drawer body 2. Materials can be received independently through the input device 10, and the materials are guided to the receiving chamber through the conveying channel 101 and the feeding path 11. This solves the technical problem in the related technology that the receiving drawer will block the falling path of the sample when it is closed, affecting the normal reception of sample tubes.

[0053] In the receiving module of this embodiment, see Figure 4 The receiving module includes a baffle plate 5, which is located at the junction of the conveying channel 101 and the folding drawer. The baffle plate 5 is inclined, and its end extends towards the material discharge path 11. By setting the baffle plate 5, the material discharge direction is guided, allowing the material to smoothly enter the discharge port 4 and preventing the material from entering the drawer body 2.

[0054] Applying the folding drawer and receiving module of this embodiment to a pre-processing integrated machine, the drawer body 2 can be switched between a folded and an open state. When the drawer body 2 is in the open state, the user can deposit sample tubes into it, and at the same time, the input device 10 can receive materials. When the drawer body 2 is in the folded state, the drawer body 2 moves into the drawer frame 1, and the sample tubes input by the input device 10 are not blocked by the drawer body 2. The sample tubes can be received by the input device 10 alone, which solves the technical problem in related technologies where the receiving drawer blocks the falling path of the sample when it is closed, affecting the normal reception of sample tubes. This solution enables the pre-processing integrated machine to be compatible with two material receiving methods: sample tubes can be manually deposited through the receiving drawer, or sample tubes can be automatically transported through the pneumatic transmission channel. The receiving drawer does not block the falling path of the material when it is closed, ensuring the normal reception and transfer of samples. This optimized design not only improves the functionality and compatibility of the equipment, but also improves the sample tube receiving efficiency of the pre-processing integrated machine.
