Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blood collection tube processing technology, and in particular to a device for capping blood collection tubes. Background Technology
[0002] Blood collection tubes are disposable medical devices used to collect a quantitative amount of blood. They are frequently used in blood sample collection and mainly consist of a tube body and a cap. The cap contains a stopper that seals the opening of the tube body. Blood collection tubes are used in conjunction with a venous blood collection needle. During blood collection, one end of the needle is inserted into a vein, and the other end pierces the stopper in the cap and extends into the tube body. Blood flows through the needle's catheter into the tube body for analysis. A crucial step in the production of blood collection tubes is assembling the cap onto the tube body.
[0003] In traditional use, capping blood collection tubes is done manually, one by one. This repetitive labor is labor-intensive, and capping multiple blood collection tubes is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we have proposed a blood collection tube capping device. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the hat storage box has a through hole, and the inner diameter of the through hole is the same as the outer diameter of the hat.
[0012] Preferably, the height of the limiting extraction slot is the same as the height of the cap inside the cap storage box.
[0013] Preferably, a rotating groove is provided on one side of the clamping frame, and the swing arm is rotatably mounted inside the rotating groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] (1) The blood collection tube capping device of this utility model, after clamping, controls the second electric telescopic rod to move the cap body to the through hole position above the cap body storage box, controls the conveyor belt to transport the blood collection tube placement rack, and places multiple blood collection tube bodies in the placement slot above the blood collection tube placement rack in sequence. A high-definition industrial camera is set above the mounting rack. When the blood collection tube body moves to the through hole position, the conveyor belt can be stopped. At this time, the first electric telescopic rod can be controlled to drive the lower capping plate to descend, so that the lower capping plate can drive the cap body to descend and assemble it above the blood collection tube body, thereby enabling the device to perform continuous processing operations, making the operation of the staff more time-saving and labor-saving, and reducing labor intensity;
[0016] (2) The blood collection tube capping device of this utility model stacks the caps inside the cap storage box. The height of the limiting take-out slot is the same as the height of the cap, so that the cap clamping plate can only take out a single cap at a time. The second electric telescopic rod is controlled to drive the fixed box and the cap clamping plate to move, so that the cap clamping plate can be moved to the other side of the cap. At this time, the third electric telescopic rod can be controlled to drive the control rod and the control plate to move. After the control plate moves, multiple connecting arms can drive the swing arm and the cap clamping plate. After the swing arm is subjected to force, it can swing around the clamping frame and let the cap clamping plate above it clamp the cap. Attached Figure Description

A cap storage box 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 7. A limiting extraction slot 9 is opened on one side of the cap storage box 8. The height of the limiting extraction slot 9 is the same as the height of the cap, so that the cap clamping plate 16 can only remove a single cap at a time. In this embodiment, a first electric telescopic rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 7. A pressing capping plate 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 7 is L-shaped. A second electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the mounting frame 7, and a fixed box 13 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 12. In this embodiment, a clamping frame 14 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the fixed box 13. Two swing arms 15 are rotatably mounted on the inner side of the clamping frame 14, and a cap clamping plate 16 is fixedly mounted on one side of the swing arms 15. In this embodiment, a third electric telescopic rod 17 is fixedly mounted on the inner right side of the fixed box 13, and a cap clamping plate 16 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the third electric telescopic rod 17. There is a control lever 18, and a control plate 19 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the control lever 18. Multiple connecting arms 20 are rotatably installed on one side of the control plate 19, and one end of the connecting arm 20 is rotatably installed on one side of the swing arm 15. The control third electric telescopic rod 17 drives the control lever 18 and the control plate 19 to move. After the control plate 19 moves, the multiple connecting arms 20 can drive the swing arm 15 and the hat body clamping plate 16. After the swing arm 15 is subjected to force, it can swing around the clamping frame 14 and allow the hat body clamping plate 16 above it to clamp the hat body.

[0030] After clamping, the second electric telescopic rod 12 is controlled to move the cap body to the through hole position above the cap body storage box 8. The conveyor belt 2 is controlled to transport the blood collection tube placement rack 3. Multiple blood collection tube bodies 5 are placed in the placement slot 4 above the blood collection tube placement rack 3 in sequence. A high-definition industrial camera is set above the mounting frame 7. When the blood collection tube body 5 moves to the through hole position, the conveyor belt 2 can be controlled to stop. At this time, the first electric telescopic rod 10 can be controlled to drive the lowering cap plate 11 to descend, so that the lowering cap plate 11 can drive the cap body to descend and be assembled above the blood collection tube body 5. This allows the device to operate continuously, making the operation more time-saving and labor-saving for the staff, and reducing labor intensity.
