[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.
[0028] To address the issues of low efficiency and frequent errors in tube replacement during labeling in existing technologies, this specification provides a blood collection tube selection and labeling system.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the blood collection tube labeling system includes: a tube replacement device 100, a test tube holding device 200, and a labeling device 300.
[0030] The pipe repair device 100 includes a first housing 101, a second housing 102, and a sliding assembly 103; the second housing 102 can slide relative to the first housing 101 via the sliding assembly 103.
[0031] The test tube receiving device 200 includes a first receiving groove 201; the width of the first receiving groove 201 is greater than the width of the tube replenishing device 100, and when the tube replenishing device 100 is placed into the test tube receiving device 200, the test tubes in the tube replenishing device 100 fall into the test tube receiving device 200.
[0032] like Figure 3 The labeling device 300 includes: a conveying device (not shown), a labeling device 301, and a receiving tank 302 for storing the test tube receiving device 200.
[0033] The blood collection tube labeling system of this specification includes a tube replenishment device, a test tube holding device, and a labeling device. By setting a sliding component 103, the width of the tube replenishment device can be changed relative to the first box 101 and the second box 102 to accommodate test tubes of different sizes. The tube replenishment device and the test tube holding device work together to realize the rapid boxing of blood collection test tubes. The test tube holding device and the labeling device work together to improve the efficiency of test tube labeling.
[0034] In some embodiments, the tube replenishment device 100 further includes a first engaging portion 104, and the test tube receiving device 200 further includes a second engaging portion 202. When the tube replenishment device 100 is placed into the test tube receiving device 200, the first engaging portion 104 and the second engaging portion 202 engage. The first engaging portion 104 and the second engaging portion 202 can play a positioning role, preventing improper placement of the tube replenishment device 100 from causing the test tubes to not be able to be quickly packed.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 104 is a protrusion, and the second engaging portion 202 is a slot structure, wherein the first engaging portion 104 can be embedded in the second engaging portion 202; or, the first engaging portion 104 is a slot structure, and the second engaging portion 202 is a protrusion, wherein the second engaging portion 202 can be embedded in the first engaging portion 104.
[0036] In a specific implementation, the sliding component 103 may include a slide groove and a slider. The slide groove is fixed on the first box 101, and the slider is fixed on the second box 102. The slider slides in the slide groove, which can change the relative position of the first box 101 and the second box 102, and change the width of the tube filling device 100 to accommodate test tubes of different lengths.
[0037] In some embodiments, the pipe-filling device 100 further includes a sensor, a controller, and a drive motor (not shown in the figure).
[0038] A sensor can be installed on the upper part of the tube filling device 100 to sense the size of the test tube to be placed in the tube filling device 100. The sensor can be a CCD camera, a range sensor, an infrared sensor, etc., and this application is not limited to this.
[0039] The sensor collects dimensional information and sends it to the controller. The controller generates control commands based on the dimensional information and transmits the control commands to the drive motor. The drive motor drives the slider of the sliding component 103 to slide in the groove, thereby moving the second box 102 and changing the width of the pipe repair device.
[0040] The controller can be a microcontroller (MCU), PLC, etc., which can output control commands to the drive motor based on the received size information. The function of the controller is conventional technology in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, one end 105 of the tube replenishment device 100 is a movable structure. When the tube replenishment device 100 is placed into the test tube holding device 200, the test tube in the tube replenishment device 100 leaks into the test tube holding device 200 through the end 105.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the movable structure includes a rotating structure 106 and a locking structure. The end 105 can be rotated by the rotating structure 106. When one side a of the end 105 contacts the side b of the side wall of the pipe repair device 100, the locking structure can fix side a and side b.
[0043] The engaging structure includes a hook 107 and a protrusion 108. When one side a of end 105 contacts side b of the side wall of the tube replenishment device 100, the hook 107 is hooked onto the protrusion 108. When it is necessary to place the test tube into the test tube receiving device 200, the hook 107 can be removed from the protrusion 108, allowing the test tube in the tube replenishment device 100 to leak into the test tube receiving device 200 through this end.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the movable structure includes a rotating structure 106 and a magnetic adsorption structure. The end 105 can be rotated by the rotating structure 106. When one side a of the end 105 contacts the side b of the side wall of the pipe repair device 100, the side a and side b can be fixed by the magnetic adsorption structure.
[0045] The magnetic adsorption structure includes a first adsorption part 109 and a second adsorption part 110. When one side a of end 105 contacts the side b of the side wall of the tube replenishment device 100, the first adsorption part 109 and the second adsorption part 110 adsorb each other. When it is necessary to put the test tube into the test tube holding device 200, the first adsorption part 109 and the second adsorption part 110 can be separated, allowing the test tube in the tube replenishment device 100 to leak into the test tube holding device 200 through this end.
[0046] The first adsorption section 109 and the second adsorption section 110 can be separated manually or by the pressure of the test tube.
[0047] In some embodiments, the labeling device 300 includes a conveyor belt and a lifting mechanism (not shown in the figure). The conveyor belt may include a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, and there may be multiple first conveyor belts, which may be arranged corresponding to the receiving slots 302.
[0048] The conveyor belt and lifting mechanism can be set at the rear of the labeling device 300. After the test tube receiving device 200 is placed in the receiving groove 302 of the labeling device 300, the test tubes in the test tube receiving device 200 can be conveyed to the lifting mechanism through the corresponding conveyor belt. The lifting mechanism can lift the test tubes to the corresponding height of the labeling device 301, and then send them into the labeling device 301 through the second conveyor belt.
[0049] In some embodiments, the conveying device of the labeling device 300 includes a robotic arm (not shown). After the test tube receiving device 200 is placed into the receiving slot 302 of the labeling device 300, the robotic arm can pick up the test tubes to be labeled from each test tube receiving device 200 and transfer them to the labeling device 301.
[0050] In some embodiments, the labeling device 300 further includes a transport channel 303 for leading the labeled test tubes out of the labeling device 301 and a recycling device 304 for recycling the labeled test tubes. The labeled test tubes recycled in the recycling device 304 can be used for blood collection or other purposes.
