Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory testing technology, and in particular to a fully automatic observation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, laboratory testing of hot-sanded samples typically requires placing them in a refrigerator at 2-8°C and observing the tissue state of the samples in the test tubes daily, allowing them to stand for over 72 hours—meaning the samples need to be observed three times during the entire experiment. Due to the excessively long observation time, operators are prone to forgetting observation points, and the frequent observations cause temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator after multiple openings, making it impossible to maintain constant temperature and humidity conditions during the experiment. Furthermore, each time a sample is observed, it needs to be removed and then placed back into the refrigerator, a process that is not only cumbersome but also highly susceptible to sample contamination, leading to inaccurate experimental results. Therefore, how to effectively avoid repetitive manual operations, simplify the observation process, reduce the risk of sample contamination, and further improve testing efficiency and the accuracy of experimental results is a problem that researchers in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solution of this embodiment will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figures 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a fully automatic observation device, including a housing 100 and a support component 10 and a camera 20 disposed within the housing 100. The support component 10 is used to place several sample tubes, and the camera 20 is located above the support component 10 for photographing the sample tubes. The support component 10 can drive the sample tubes to move toward or away from the camera 20. A control system is provided on the housing 100 for controlling the raising or lowering of the support component 10, the opening and closing of the camera 20, and the temperature and humidity inside the housing 100.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a support component 10 supports and clamps several sample tubes, and a camera 20 above the support component 10 captures images of the sample tubes. This avoids the need for operators to repeatedly handle samples for observation, allowing them to observe and analyze the image data captured by the camera 20. This effectively avoids repetitive manual operations, simplifies the observation process, and significantly reduces the risk of sample contamination. Furthermore, the support component 10 can drive the sample tubes to move towards or away from the camera 20, ensuring the clarity of the monitoring and capturing images and the accuracy of data acquisition. Optionally, the raising or lowering of the support component 10, the opening and closing of the camera 20, and the temperature and humidity inside the housing 100 can all be controlled by a control system. This effectively ensures that the housing 100 remains in a constant temperature and humidity state, thereby controlling the experimental environment, improving the accuracy of the experiment, and, through its automated operation, effectively improving the overall detection efficiency.

[0029] The specific structure of the fully automatic observation device in this embodiment will be described below.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the fully automatic observation device in this embodiment includes a housing 100, a support component 10, a camera 20, a lighting lamp 30, a control system, a loudspeaker 60, and a mobile device. Specifically, the support component 10, camera 20, and lighting lamp 30 are all located inside the housing 100, the loudspeaker 60 is located outside the housing 100, the control system is located on the front side of the housing 100, and the mobile device is communicatively connected to the fully automatic observation device. Thus, under the support and fixation of the support component 10, several sample tubes for the experiment can be stably placed and can move upward or downward under the drive of the support component 10. The camera 20 and lighting lamp 30 are both located above the support component 10, so that the sample tubes can move towards or away from the camera 20. When it is necessary to observe the situation inside the sample tube during the experiment, the support component 10 and the lighting lamp 30 can ensure that the camera 20 can clearly capture the situation inside the sample tube.

[0031] Furthermore, the control system can control and monitor the raising or lowering of the support component 10, the activation and deactivation of the camera 20 and the lighting 30, as well as the temperature and humidity inside the housing 100. This ensures that the sample tubes inside the housing 100 are always in a constant temperature and humidity state during testing, guaranteeing accurate and reliable test parameters. Simultaneously, after the test, a voice reminder can be given via the loudspeaker 60, allowing operators to promptly handle the sample tubes. Specifically, the mobile device communication connection and fully automatic observation device allow operators to remotely view the test situation and download test reports, thereby achieving intelligent and automated testing and avoiding repeated monitoring of the test process by operators.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, three sets of support components 10 are provided, and the three sets of support components 10 are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction and spaced apart within the housing 100. This ensures that there is no intersection or contact between the support components 10, thus ensuring the stable placement of the sample tubes. Furthermore, each set of support components 10 is provided with at least 10 workstations for placing sample tubes, ensuring that no two adjacent sample tubes will contact each other, avoiding mutual interference during the experiment, and also facilitating one-to-one handling of sample tubes.

[0033] Optionally, the support assembly 10 includes a telescopic rod 11, a motor 12, a support frame 13, and a fixing frame 14. Specifically, the telescopic rod 11 is arranged vertically, and the support frame 13 is located at the top of the telescopic rod 11, thereby enabling the support frame 13 to move up and down by extending and retracting the telescopic rod 11 in the vertical direction. For example, the support frame 13 extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the telescopic rod 11. Further, the fixing frame 14 is detachably connected to the support frame 13 and is located at the top of the support frame 13 away from the telescopic rod 11. Sample tubes are inserted into the fixing frame 14 to ensure stable installation of the sample tubes. The detachable connection allows for the installation of different types of fixing frames 14 on the support frame 13, thus accommodating sample tubes of different sizes and expanding the applicability of the device.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the motor 12 and the telescopic rod 11 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the motor 12 is used to drive the telescopic rod 11 to extend or retract, so as to ensure the power source of the telescopic rod 11. Furthermore, the support frame 13 and the fixed frame 14 are connected by magnetic attraction, which not only simplifies the connection and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the fixed frame 14, but also accommodates diverse laboratory experimental needs and ensures a stable connection between the support frame 13 and the fixed frame 14 during the experiment, thus ensuring the stability of the sample tube. Furthermore, the fixed frame 14 has several stations along its length, and each station is equipped with an elastic gripper. The sample tube is inserted into the elastic gripper, thereby adaptively gripping sample tubes of different sizes to ensure stable installation. Furthermore, each elastic gripper is equipped with a pressure sensor. Based on the feedback from the pressure sensor when the elastic gripper grips sample tubes of different diameters, the gripping force and radius of the elastic gripper can be adjusted to avoid excessive gripping that could damage the sample tube, or excessive loose gripping that could cause the sample tube to fall off. For example, the mounting bracket 14 is provided with 10 workstations. In this embodiment, the bearing assembly 10 is provided with three sets, so the housing 100 is provided with 30 workstations to enable 30 sample tubes to be tested simultaneously. For example, each workstation is assigned a number, such as 1-10, to ensure that samples are not confused and can be tracked in a directional manner.

[0035] Optionally, in this embodiment, two cameras 20 are provided, and the two cameras 20 are respectively located on opposite sides of the top of the housing 100. This allows the imaging area of ​​the two cameras 20 to completely cover the interior area of ​​the housing 100, avoiding blind spots. For example, in this embodiment, a heating element is provided on the camera 20 to heat the lens of the camera 20, preventing fogging that could affect the shooting effect. Optionally, in this embodiment, the illumination directions of the two cameras 20 are perpendicular to each other; that is, the camera 20 closer to the control system shoots downwards, while the other camera 20 shoots horizontally, to avoid blind spots and thus record the state of the sample tissue from all angles. For example, both cameras 20 are rotatably mounted inside the housing 100, and their rotation angle can be set by the control system, ensuring that the image of the sample tube can be adjusted as needed. Furthermore, an illumination lamp 30 is provided between the two cameras 20, and the illumination lamp 30 is only turned on when the camera 20 is shooting, to ensure sufficient light during shooting, ensuring clear imaging of the sample tube, saving energy, and avoiding waste from continuous operation. For example, the lens of camera 20 is made of an anti-fog lens.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control system includes a first control system 40 and a second control system 50. The support component 10, camera 20, and lighting 30 are all communicatively connected to the first control system 40. The first control system 40 can control the raising or lowering of the support component 10, the dwell time after raising or lowering, and the activation and deactivation of the camera 20 and lighting 30. This allows the sample tube to be raised and held for a preset settling time to facilitate camera 20 recording, i.e., video recording and photography, achieving simultaneous dynamic and static capture of sample tissue. Specifically, the motor 12 in the support component 10 is electrically connected to the first control system 40, allowing control of the motor 12's activation and deactivation to extend or compress the telescopic rod 11. For example, after the sample tube is raised to the target position, it remains for 30 seconds for camera 20 to capture the image. The captured material can be transmitted to a computer for storage via Bluetooth or viewed remotely on a mobile device via communication connection. For example, a typical test takes 3 days, and after 3 days, a voice announcement is made via loudspeaker 60 to remind the operators to take out the sample tubes in time.

[0037] Furthermore, the second control system 50 is connected to the compressor, which is used to change the temperature and humidity inside the housing 100. Specifically, the second control system 50 can detect the temperature and humidity inside the housing 100 in real time, record them as actual temperature and humidity, compare them with preset temperature and humidity to obtain the difference, and determine whether to drive the compressor to work based on the difference, thereby achieving precise control so that the inside of the housing 100 is always in a constant temperature and humidity state, ensuring the test environment of the sample tube. For example, the second control system 50 can cool the inside of the housing 100 and keep the temperature inside the housing 100 at 2-8℃, and is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors and air pressure sensors to ensure dynamic adjustment of cooling and maintain it in a constant temperature and humidity environment.

[0038] For example, AI algorithms can be used for system control in the fully automated observation device. This enables real-time analysis of image data captured by camera 20, and automatic generation of trend reports based on changes in sample state, such as sedimentation or stratification, which are then sent to mobile devices for operators to view. Furthermore, a fault self-diagnosis system can be installed in the fully automated observation device to automatically detect the entire device. In case of equipment malfunctions, such as motor 12 jamming or camera 20 shifting and causing the sample to leave the frame, an alarm can be triggered via remote software control on the mobile device, allowing operators to resolve the problem promptly.

[0039] Therefore, the fully automated observation device in this embodiment not only reduces the number of times personnel need to observe, saving labor costs, but also allows for photo recording for easy review later. Simultaneously, the data can be transmitted to remote software on a mobile device, enabling real-time analysis of image data, recording changes in sample state, and generating trend reports. This effectively avoids the cumbersome operation of repeatedly opening the device and observing the experiment multiple times. Furthermore, voice prompts via the speaker 60 effectively prevent operators from forgetting the time when test results are available due to prolonged experiment time. The automatic fault diagnosis system allows for continuous monitoring of the device's operation, ensuring stable experiment execution. Moreover, the heating element effectively prevents the camera 20 from fogging in low-temperature environments, thus maintaining image clarity.
