Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a fully automatic sample transfer and docking device. Background Technology

[0002] In some laboratories, powdered samples need to be melted at high temperatures with chemical reagents such as lithium borate flux to form glass flakes, which are then placed in specially designed metal sample boxes for compositional analysis using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The flake fabrication process is usually done manually, although fully automated systems for flake preparation are now available. However, the transfer of the flake from the fusing equipment to the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, as well as the loading and unloading of the flake into the analytical sample box, are still primarily performed by operators.

[0003] After the operator removes the fused sheet produced in the previous process, it is transferred to the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, placed into a special test sample box, and then sent to the fluorescence analyzer. After the sample is tested by the fluorescence analyzer, it is manually unloaded from the sample box.

[0004] The operators need to perform a lot of repetitive work during this process, and the process is not continuous because the X-ray fluorescence analyzer has limited buffer stations. After the sample is packed, the analysis must be completed before the sample can be changed, which consumes a lot of human resources. Utility Model Content

[0043] Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the various drawings, the same elements are indicated by the same or similar reference numerals. For clarity, the various parts in the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0044] This utility model provides a fully automated sample transfer and docking device, see [link / reference]. Figure 1 The fully automated sample transfer and docking equipment includes: a conveyor line 1, an X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, a pressing device 2, and a transfer device 3; wherein, the conveyor line 1 is used to convey a tray box 5 containing a sample fused sheet 6; the pressing device 2 is used to load the tray box 5 on the conveyor line 1 into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, or to unload the tray box 5 in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 onto the conveyor line 1; the transfer device 3 transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 from the pressing device 2 into the detection equipment, or transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 in the detection equipment onto the pressing device 2.

[0045] Specifically, the tray box 5 containing the sample fused sheet 6 is conveyed from the front end of the conveyor line 1 to the rear end of the conveyor line 1. The pressing device 2 is located on one side of the rear end of the conveyor line 1 in the width direction. After the tray box is conveyed to the pressing device 2 at the rear end of the conveyor line 1, the pressing device 2 loads the tray box from the conveyor line 1 into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 placed in the pressing device 2. The transfer device 3 is located adjacent to the pressing device 2 and on the rear side of the pressing device 2, that is, on the side of the pressing device 2 near the rear end of the conveyor line 1. The transfer device 3 can transfer the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 between the pressing device 2 and the detection equipment. In this embodiment, the detection device is an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The transfer device 3 transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, which is loaded with sample molten material in the pressing device 2, to the sample receiving station of the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Then, the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer moves the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to the detection station to perform component analysis on the sample molten material loaded in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. After the sample molten material is detected by the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer moves the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to the sample receiving station. The transfer device 3 then transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, which is loaded with the detected sample molten material, to the pressing device 2. The pressing device 2 then unloads the sample molten material from the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, the conveyor line 1 is a conveyor belt 11, which is driven by a conveyor drive motor 12. Specifically, the front and rear ends of the conveyor belt 11 are set on end rollers, and a drive housing is set below the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor drive motor 12 is mounted on the drive housing, and a drive roller is set on the output shaft of the conveyor drive motor 12. Two redirecting rollers are set on the drive housing, located on the front and rear sides above the drive rollers, respectively. The return section of the conveyor belt 11 passes around the rear redirecting roller, the drive roller, and the front redirecting roller in sequence. The conveyor drive motor 12 drives the drive roller to rotate, and the drive roller drives the conveyor belt 11 to rotate, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 11 to transport materials.

[0047] Furthermore, a stop point sensor 13 is provided above the conveyor belt 11 at the position corresponding to the pressing device 2. When the stop point sensor 13 detects the tray box 5, the pressing device 2 starts to work and loads the tray box 5 into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4.

[0048] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 includes: a main outer frame 41, an elastic element, and a support plate 43; wherein, the main outer frame 41 includes a bottom plate 412, a top plate 411, and two support plates 413, the bottom plate 412 and the top plate 411 are both circular plate structures, and the two support plates 413 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 412 and the top plate 411 in the radial direction, and the upper and lower ends of the two support plates 413 are respectively connected to the top plate 411 and the bottom plate 412; Two slots 401 are provided on the top plate 411 at positions corresponding to the two support plates 413. The two slots 401 pass through the top plate 411 and extend downwards by a predetermined distance on the two support plates 413 respectively. The bottom of the elastic member is disposed on the bottom plate 412, and the bearing plate 43 is connected to the top of the elastic member. The upper part of the bearing plate 43 is used to place the tray box 5. The elastic member is used to abut the tray box 5 placed on the bearing plate 43 against the top plate 411.

[0049] Furthermore, the support plate 413 is an arc-shaped plate structure, and the diameter of the outer arc surface of the support plate 413 is consistent with the outer diameter of the top plate 411 and the bottom plate 412. That is, the outer shape of the main body frame 41 formed by the support plate 413, the top plate 411, and the bottom plate 412 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which makes it easier for the material transfer device 3 to clamp. The diameter of the bearing plate 43 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner arc surface of the support plate 413, which allows the bearing plate 43 to move smoothly up and down within the main body frame 41, and also ensures that when the pressing claw 222 of the pressing device 2 moves downward through the slot 401 on the main body frame 41, it can press against the bearing plate 43 and apply downward pressure to move the bearing plate 43.

[0050] Furthermore, the elastic element is a tower-shaped spring 42, with its large end positioned on the base plate 412 and its small end connected to the support plate 43. By selecting a tower-shaped spring 42 as the elastic element, a compact layout can be achieved through its variable diameter structure. Within the same installation space, it can provide greater deformation and higher spring force, thereby reducing the overall weight and volume of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample cassette 4.

[0051] To ensure a stable connection between the tower spring 42 and the support plate 43, a support member 44 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 43, and the small end of the tower spring 42 is connected to the support member 44. The support member 44 includes a large cylindrical section 441 and a small cylindrical section 442 connected together. The diameters of both the large cylindrical section 441 and the small cylindrical section 442 are smaller than the inner diameter of the small end of the tower spring 42. The large cylindrical section 441 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 43; the small end of the tower spring 42 is fitted onto the support member 44. By configuring the support member 44 as a large cylindrical section 441 and a small cylindrical section 442 connected together, with the large cylindrical section 441 connected to the bottom of the support plate 43, the contact area with the support plate 43 is increased, providing better support for the support plate 43. The small cylindrical section 442 makes it easier for the small end of the tower spring 42 to be fitted onto the support member 44. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the support member 44 and the bearing plate 43, a screw 431 is provided at the bottom center of the bearing plate 43, and a threaded hole matching the screw 431 is provided at the center of the support member 44. The support member 44 is screwed onto the screw 431 through the threaded hole.

[0052] Furthermore, a central hole is provided at the center of the top plate 411. Specifically, the diameter of the central hole is smaller than the diameter of the tray box placed therein, so that the tray box will not fall out of the central hole when it is placed against the top plate 411 by the support plate 43. By providing a central hole at the center of the top plate 411, the sample molten sheet contained in the tray box can be positioned at the central hole. After the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is transferred to the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer can perform component analysis on the sample molten sheet in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 through the central hole.

[0053] Furthermore, the edge of the top plate 411 is provided with an upper annular retaining edge facing the bottom plate 412, and the edge of the bottom plate 412 is provided with a lower annular retaining edge facing the top plate 411. By providing the upper annular retaining edge on the top plate 411 and the lower annular retaining edge on the bottom plate 412, the bottom of the tray box and the elastic element abutting against the top plate 411 can be circumferentially limited, preventing the tray box or the elastic element from circumferentially dislodging. In addition, the upper and lower annular retaining edges can also improve the structural strength of the top plate 411 and the bottom plate 412, respectively, preventing bending deformation when subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element.

[0054] Furthermore, a bottom center hole is formed in the center of the base plate 412. A bottom baffle 45 is placed on the base plate 412, and the bottom of the tower spring 42 abuts against the bottom baffle 45. By forming a bottom center hole in the center of the base plate 412 and placing a bottom baffle 45 on the base plate 412, the installation and removal of the tower spring 42 are facilitated.

[0055] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pressing device 2 includes: a pressing bracket 21, a pressing mechanism 22, a rotary positioning mechanism 23, and a feeding mechanism 24; wherein, the rotary positioning mechanism 23 is located on one side of the pressing bracket 21 and is used to place the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and to rotate and position the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4; the pressing mechanism 22 includes a pressing cylinder 221 and a pressing claw 222, the pressing cylinder 221 is located on the pressing bracket 21, and the pressing claw 222 is located at the extension and retraction point of the pressing cylinder 221. On the rod; the pressing mechanism 22 is used to extend the pressing claw 222 to press the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 so that the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is in the material transfer state, and to retract the pressing claw 222 after placing the tray box in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 so that the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is in the material loading state; the feeding mechanism 24 is located on the other side of the pressing bracket 21, and is used to push the tray box on the conveyor line 1 into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, and to push the tray box in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 out onto the conveyor line 1.

[0056] In practice, the transfer device 3 clamps the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and places it on the rotary positioning mechanism 23. The rotary positioning mechanism 23 rotates and positions the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 so that the slot 401 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is aligned with the pressing claw 222 of the pressing mechanism 22. This allows the pressing claw 222 to enter the slot 401 and press down on the support plate 43 when the pressing cylinder 221 pushes the pressing claw 222 downward. When the pressing claw 222 presses down on the support plate 43 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and moves downward a certain distance, it stops moving. At this time, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is in the transfer state. If the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 needs to unload the sample molten sheet that has been tested, the feeding mechanism 24 pushes the tray box containing the sample molten sheet placed above the support plate 43 in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 onto the conveyor line 1. If the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 needs to load the sample molten sheet to be tested, the feeding mechanism 24 pushes the tray box containing the sample molten sheet placed above the support plate 43 in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 onto the conveyor line 1. The tray containing the sample sheet to be tested is pushed laterally into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 above the support plate 43; when the pressing claw 222 retracts, the support plate 43 in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 moves towards the top plate 411 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element, thereby abutting the tray placed above the support plate 43 against the top plate 411. At this time, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is in the material-loaded state, and the transfer device 3 can clamp the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and transfer it to the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for detection.

[0057] The mounting bracket is a vertically arranged plate-like structure with a forward-extending extension at its upper end, giving the entire mounting bracket an inverted L-shape. A pressing cylinder mounting plate 211 is vertically mounted on one side of the upper end of the mounting bracket, and the mounting cylinder is fixedly connected to the pressing cylinder mounting plate 211. Specifically, after the pressing cylinder 221 is mounted on the pressing cylinder mounting plate 211, the pressing cylinder 221 is positioned directly above the rotary positioning mechanism 23, enabling the pressing of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample cassette 4 placed on the rotary positioning mechanism 23. In a specific implementation, the bottom of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of an aluminum profile bracket (not shown in the figure) on one side of the conveyor line 1.

[0058] Furthermore, the front end of the telescopic rod of the press-fit cylinder 221 is provided with a press-fit claw fixing plate 223, and two press-fit claws 222 are fixedly mounted on the press-fit claw fixing plate 223. Specifically, the press-fit claw fixing plate 223 is a rectangular plate structure, and the two press-fit claws 222 can be vertically fixed to the press-fit claw fixing plate 223 by welding. The press-fit claw fixing plate 223 can be detachably connected to the end plate at the front end of the telescopic rod of the press-fit cylinder 221 by screw connection.

[0059] Furthermore, the pressing claw 222 is equipped with a detection sensor 2221 for detecting the presence or absence of a tray box. Specifically, the detection sensor 2221 is a reflective photoelectric sensor, which uses the reflection of a light beam to trigger a signal to determine whether a tray box is placed above the support plate 43 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. When the detection sensor 2221 detects that the tray box is in place above the support plate 43 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, it sends a command to the feeding mechanism 24, and the feeding mechanism 24 resets.

[0060] Further, the feeding mechanism 24 includes a feeding mounting plate 241, a pushing cylinder 242, a pushing cross plate 244, an ejecting cylinder 243, and an ejecting cross plate 245; wherein, the feeding mounting plate 241 is horizontally fixed on the pressing bracket 21; the pushing cylinder 242 is fixed on the upper surface of the feeding mounting plate 241, and the front end of the telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder 242 is provided with a pushing mounting plate 246; the pushing cross plate 244 is horizontally fixed on the pushing mounting plate 241. 46 is oriented toward the side of the push-in cylinder 242; the push-out cylinder 243 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the feeding mounting plate 241, and the front end of the telescopic rod of the push-out cylinder 243 is provided with a push-out mounting plate 247; the push-in horizontal plate 245 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the side of the push-out mounting plate 247 facing the push-out cylinder 243; the push-in horizontal plate 244 and the push-out horizontal plate 245 are arranged opposite to each other, and the push-in horizontal plate 244 and the push-out horizontal plate 245 are located on the same plane.

[0061] Specifically, the feeding mounting plate 241 is a horizontally arranged steel plate, and one side of the feeding mounting plate 241 in the horizontal direction can be fixedly connected to the pressing bracket 21 by screws. The pushing cylinder 242 and the pushing cylinder 243 can be fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the feeding mounting plate 241 by screws, respectively. The pushing mounting plate 246 and the pushing mounting plate 247 are respectively fixedly connected to the front end plate of the telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder 242 and the front end plate of the telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder 243 by screws. The pushing mounting plate 246 and the pushing mounting plate 247 extend towards the side of the rotary positioning mechanism 23, respectively. The pushing horizontal plate 244 is fixedly connected to the end of the pushing mounting plate 246 near the rotary positioning mechanism 23 by screws, and the pushing horizontal plate 245 is fixedly connected to the end of the pushing mounting plate 247 near the rotary positioning mechanism 23 by screws.

[0062] Furthermore, the opposite ends of the push-in horizontal plate 244 and the push-out horizontal plate 245 are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves that match the shape of the pallet box. By providing arc-shaped grooves that match the shape of the pallet box at the front ends of the push-in horizontal plate 244 and the push-out horizontal plate 245, the pallet box will not slide laterally to the outside of the push-in horizontal plate 244 or the push-out horizontal plate 245 when the pallet box is pushed.

[0063] Furthermore, the rotary positioning device includes a rotary disk 231 and a positioning cylinder 232; the rotary disk 231 is connected to a rotary disk drive motor, which drives the rotary disk 231 to rotate, and the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is placed on the top of the rotary disk 231; the positioning cylinder 232 is located on one side of the rotary disk 231, and the extension rod of the positioning cylinder 232 extends out and can block on the support plate 413 on the side of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to achieve positioning of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4.

[0064] Specifically, the rotary positioning mechanism 23 is mounted on an aluminum profile bracket (not shown in the figure) on one side of the conveyor belt 11. The rotary disk 231 is positioned directly below the pressing mechanism 22. The body of the rotary disk drive motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the rotary disk 231 to rotate is mounted on the lower surface of the aluminum profile bracket. The rotary disk 231 is located above the aluminum profile bracket. The output shaft of the rotary disk drive motor extends through the aluminum profile bracket to the upper surface of the aluminum profile bracket. The rotary disk 231 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary disk drive motor. The top of the rotary disk 231 is provided with a placement slot for placing the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. The placement slot is concentrically arranged with the rotary disk 231, and the diameter of the placement slot matches the diameter of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. After the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is placed in the placement slot, when the support plate 413 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is positioned by the telescopic rod of the positioning cylinder 232, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 will not shift and will remain coaxial with the center of the rotating disk 231.

[0065] The rotating disk 231 of the rotary positioning mechanism 23 is arranged close to the conveyor line 1, so that the pushing plate 244 and the pushing plate 245 of the feeding mechanism 24 can more easily move the tray box between the conveyor line 1 and the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. In this embodiment, a transition plate is also provided between the conveyor belt 11 and the rotating disk 231, and the upper surface of the transition plate is flush with the upper surface of the carrying section of the conveyor belt 11. By providing the transition plate, when the tray box is pushed into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 from the conveyor belt 11, or when the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is pushed out of the conveyor belt 11, the tray box can move through the transition plate, avoiding the tray box from falling off during the pushing process due to excessive gap between the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and the conveyor belt 11.

[0066] Furthermore, the rotary positioning device also includes a proximity switch 234, which is disposed on one side of the rotary disk 231, and the proximity switch 234 and the positioning cylinder 232 are arranged at a preset angle along the circumference. When the proximity switch 234 detects the support plate 413 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, the telescopic rod of the positioning cylinder 232 extends.

[0067] Specifically, the positioning cylinder 232 is mounted on the positioning cylinder mounting bracket 233, and the proximity switch 234 is mounted on the proximity switch mounting bracket 235. Both the positioning cylinder mounting bracket 233 and the proximity switch mounting bracket 235 are L-shaped structures. The bottoms of the positioning cylinder mounting bracket 233 and the proximity switch mounting bracket 235 are fixedly connected to the aluminum profile bracket on one side of the conveyor belt 11 by screws. The positioning cylinder 232 and the proximity switch 234 are respectively fixedly connected to the vertical plates of the positioning cylinder mounting bracket 233 and the proximity switch mounting bracket 235. In specific implementation, when the rotating disk 231 drives the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to rotate, the proximity switch 234 detects the support column of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and sends a signal to the positioning cylinder 232. The positioning cylinder 232 extends its telescopic rod. When the rotating disk drive motor receives the signal from the proximity switch 234, it delays for a preset time (determined according to the rotation speed of the rotating disk 231, ensuring that the support column on the other side of the proximity switch 234 can rotate past the position of the positioning cylinder 232 within the preset time) and then stops rotating. Within the preset time, the opposite support column of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 will definitely be blocked by the telescopic rod of the positioning cylinder 232. At this time, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is positioned, and the pressing mechanism 22 can perform the pressing action on the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4.

[0071] Specifically, the horizontal slide rail 321 is fixedly connected to the main body plate 311 of the transfer bracket 31 by screws. A support plate is provided on the main body plate 311 of the transfer bracket 31. The two ends of the first transmission screw 323 are rotatably connected to the support plate on the transfer bracket 31, and the first transmission screw 323 is arranged parallel to the horizontal slide rail 321. The body of the first drive motor 325 is fixedly connected to a first motor fixing plate provided at the end of the main body plate 311 of the transfer bracket 31. The output shaft of the first drive motor 325 is connected to the first transmission screw 323 via a coupling. The first drive motor 325 drives the first transmission screw 323 to rotate, causing the first transmission nut 324 to move, which in turn causes the horizontal slide table 322 connected to the first transmission nut 324 to move horizontally along the horizontal slide rail 321.

[0072] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 33 is a linear module arranged in a vertical direction. The lifting mechanism 33 includes a vertical slide rail 331, a vertical slide table 332, a second transmission screw 333, a second transmission nut 334, and a second drive motor 335; the vertical slide rail 331 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the horizontal moving mechanism 32, and the vertical slide rail 331 extends in a vertical direction; the vertical slide table 332 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 331; the second transmission screw 333 is rotatably connected to a support plate provided on the vertical slide rail 331; the second drive motor 335 is fixedly mounted on the end support plate of the vertical slide rail 331; the second drive motor 335 is drively connected to the second transmission screw 333 for driving the second transmission screw 333 to rotate; the second transmission nut 334 is sleeved on the second transmission screw 333; and the vertical slide table 332 is fixedly connected to the second transmission nut 334.

[0073] Specifically, the driving end of the horizontal moving mechanism 32 is provided with a lifting mounting plate 3221, and the lifting mechanism 33 is disposed on the lifting mounting plate 3221. In this embodiment, the driving end of the horizontal moving mechanism 32 is a horizontal slide table 322, and the lifting mounting plate 3221 is disposed on the horizontal slide table 322. The lifting mounting plate 3221 is used to install the lifting mechanism 33. In the lifting mechanism 33, the vertical slide rail 331 can be fixedly connected to the lifting mounting plate 3221 disposed on the horizontal slide table 322 by screws.

[0074] It is understandable that the horizontal moving mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism 33 can also be other types of transmission mechanisms, such as gear and rack transmission, hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, synchronous belt transmission, etc.

[0075] Furthermore, the driving end of the lifting mechanism 33 is provided with a feeding plate 35 extending horizontally. The feeding plate 35 is parallel to the horizontal moving mechanism 32, and the clamping mechanism 34 is located on the feeding plate 35 at one end away from the lifting mechanism 33. Specifically, the feeding plate 35 is a strip steel plate with a certain width. The feeding plate 35 is parallel to the horizontal slide rail 321 of the horizontal moving mechanism 32. The first end of the feeding plate 35 is fixedly connected to the vertical slide table 332 of the lifting mechanism 33 by screws, and the clamping mechanism 34 is provided at the second end of the feeding plate 35. By providing a feeding plate 35 extending horizontally at the driving end of the lifting mechanism 33, when the horizontal slide table 322 in the horizontal moving mechanism 32 moves to the end of the horizontal slide rail 321, the clamping mechanism 34 at the end of the feeding plate 35 can penetrate into the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, facilitating the movement of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 clamped by the clamping mechanism 34 to the sample receiving position of the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

[0076] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 34 includes a pneumatic gripper 341 and two clamping rods 342.

[0077] Specifically, the two clamping rods 342 are respectively fixedly connected to the two jaws of the pneumatic gripper 341 by screws. The pneumatic gripper 341 is connected to a compressed air source through an air pipe. The pneumatic gripper 341 is vertically arranged so that its two jaws are vertically downward; the two clamping rods 342 are horizontally opposite each other and vertically connected to the two jaws of the pneumatic gripper 341. In this embodiment, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 has a cylindrical structure, and the clamping groove 3421 on the clamping rod 342 is an arc-shaped groove that matches the shape of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. Preferably, a rubber anti-slip pad can be provided in the clamping groove 3421 to increase friction when clamping the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and ensure safety when clamping and moving the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. Preferably, the clamping rod 342 is provided with a detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the clamped item. This detection sensor can be a photoelectric sensor or a micro switch.

[0078] Furthermore, the material transfer bracket 31 is provided with a cable chain groove, in which a cable chain 36 is disposed. The fixed end of the cable chain 36 is connected to the cable chain groove, and the movable end of the cable chain 36 is connected to the lifting mechanism 33. Cables and air pipes are arranged in the cable chain 36. In this embodiment, the cable chain groove is located on the side of the main body plate 311 of the material transfer bracket 31 facing away from the horizontal moving mechanism 32, and the movable end of the cable chain 36 is connected to the lifting mechanism 33 through a horizontal connecting plate. By providing the cable chain 36, the cables connecting the horizontal moving mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism 33, as well as the air pipes connected to the clamping mechanism 34, can be protected from wear, pulling, and entanglement during the horizontal or vertical movement of the clamping mechanism 34, while maintaining a neat wiring layout.

[0079] The specific procedure for sample transfer and docking using the fully automated sample transfer and docking equipment described above is as follows:

[0080] In the forward transmission step, the conveyor line 1 transports the tray containing the sample sheet to be tested to the pressing device 2.

[0081] Specifically, in this embodiment, the front-end device loads the prepared sample molten sheet into a tray box, and the tray box containing the sample molten sheet to be tested is placed on the conveyor belt 11 and conveyed to the pressing device 2 position via the conveyor belt 11.

[0082] In the sample loading step, the pressing device 2 loads the tray containing the sample sheet to be tested from the conveyor line 1 into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4.

[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the tray containing the sample sheet to be tested is conveyed to the pressing device 2 via the conveyor belt 11, the stop point sensor 13 above the conveyor belt 11 detects that the tray has reached its position and sends a signal to the feeding mechanism 24 of the pressing device 2. At this time, the pushing cylinder 242 of the feeding mechanism 24 is activated, driving the pushing plate 244 to push the tray from the conveyor belt 11 to the center position of the support plate 43 in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4. Before pushing the tray into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, the pressing claw 222 of the pressing mechanism 22 first presses the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to put it in a material transfer state. After the tray is pushed into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, the pressing claw 222 of the pressing mechanism 22 retracts, and the elastic element in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 lifts the support plate 43, placing the tray against the top plate 411 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, so that the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is in a material loading state.

[0084] In the forward transfer step, the transfer device 3 transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, which is loaded with the sample molten sheet to be tested, from the pressing device 2 to the detection equipment for detection.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 34 of the transfer device 3 clamps the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, and moves the clamping mechanism 34 through the lifting mechanism 33 and the horizontal moving mechanism 32 to transfer the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to the sample receiving station in the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer moves the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to the detection station to perform component analysis on the sample molten sheet. After the detection is completed, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 automatically exits and moves to the sample receiving station.

[0086] In the reverse transfer step, after the detection equipment has completed the detection of the sample molten sheet, the transfer device 3 transfers the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 containing the detected sample molten sheet from the detection equipment to the pressing device 2.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 34 of the transfer device 3 clamps the sample box 4 for X-ray fluorescence analysis, and moves the clamping mechanism 34 through the horizontal moving mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism 33 to transfer the sample box 4 for X-ray fluorescence analysis onto the rotating disk 231 of the rotating positioning mechanism 23 in the pressing device 2.

[0088] In the sample unloading step, the pressing device 2 unloads the tray containing the tested sample molten sheet from the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 and moves it onto the conveyor line 1.

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the clamping rod 342 of the clamping mechanism 34 releases the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, the detection sensor 2221 on the clamping rod 342 sends a signal to the rotary disk drive motor. The rotary disk drive motor starts to drive the rotary disk 231 to rotate, thereby causing the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to rotate horizontally. At the same time that the rotary disk 231 drives the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 to rotate, when the proximity switch 234 detects one of the support plates 413 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4, it sends a signal to the positioning cylinder 232. The positioning cylinder 232 extends its telescopic rod. After receiving the signal from the proximity switch 234, the rotary disk drive motor stops rotating after a preset time. During this preset time, the other support plate 413 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 will definitely be blocked by the telescopic rod of the positioning cylinder 232. At this time, the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box 4 is positioned. After the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample cassette 4 is positioned, the telescopic rod of the positioning cylinder 232 retracts, and the magnetic switch of the positioning cylinder 232 sends a positioning signal to the controller. The pressing mechanism 22 then begins to operate, and the pressing claw 222 compresses the support plate 43 of the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample cassette 4 downwards into place. Then, the ejection cylinder 243 of the feeding mechanism 24 is activated, driving the ejection cross plate 245 to move and push the tray containing the tested sample flake in the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample cassette 4 onto the conveyor belt 11.

[0090] In the reverse transfer step, the conveyor line 1 transports the tray containing the tested sample molten sheet to the next station.

[0091] In this embodiment, after the ejection cylinder 243 in the feeding mechanism 24 is ejected into place, the magnetic switch sends a signal to the controller, and the conveyor belt 11 starts to rotate in the reverse direction. The tray box containing the tested sample molten sheet is conveyed to the next station via the conveyor belt 11.

[0092] In summary, the fully automated sample transfer and docking equipment provided by this utility model can automatically transport the tray containing the sample fused sheet, load it into the X-ray fluorescence analysis sample box, and transfer it to the detection equipment. The entire process requires no human intervention, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.
