Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of test tube opening devices, and in particular to a throat swab test tube opening device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of medicine, biology, and chemistry, test tubes are commonly used to hold reagents that must not be contaminated, such as experimental drugs and microbial samples. During the operation, test tubes often need to be opened and closed multiple times. Traditionally, opening test tubes is usually done by laboratory personnel, which is slow, labor-intensive, and the reagents are easily contaminated. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a throat swab test tube opening device.

[0003] For example, in a prior art represented by application number CN202221538501.1, the main structure includes a bottom connecting plate, a gripper support structure, a first gripper, a first gripper finger, a sensor bracket, a diffuse reflection sensor, a module connection structure, a linear module, a gripper fixing structure, a second gripper, and a second gripper finger; the bottom connecting plate is horizontally positioned; the gripper support structure is fixed to one end of the bottom connecting plate to support the first gripper and the first gripper finger, which are used to clamp the test tube body; the diffuse reflection sensor is used to detect whether the cap opening is successful; the module connection structure is fixed to the other end of the bottom connecting plate to fix the linear module, which is used to control the vertical movement of the second gripper and the second gripper finger to open and close the cap. The test tube cap opening device shown in this application can simultaneously and automatically open multiple types of test tubes with high efficiency.

[0004] During use, it was found that some throat swab test tubes may be placed at different heights. Existing test tube opening devices are not convenient for opening test tubes of different heights at the same time, requiring manual straightening, which wastes time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a throat swab test tube opening device. Utility Model Content

[0034] Before the test tubes are clamped, motor 3 52 is stopped, and optical sensor 71 monitors whether the test tubes are in the same horizontal position. When they are in the same horizontal position, motor 3 52 is started, and clamping blocks 3 55 and 4 56 clamp the test tubes. When the test tubes are not in the same horizontal position, electric telescopic rod 61 is started, which drives the output shaft of electric telescopic rod 61 to extend and directionally lift the top material platform 62 through guide shaft 63 on conductor 64, thereby making the test tubes in the same horizontal position.

[0035] This utility model discloses a throat swab test tube opening device. During operation, the test tube is first placed between clamping blocks 3 (55) and 4 (56). The motor 3 (52) is activated, driving the bidirectional lead screw 2 (53) to rotate, causing clamping blocks 3 (55) and 4 (56) to move in opposite directions on the slide rail 54. Before clamping the test tube, the motor 3 (52) is stopped, and an optical sensor 71 monitors whether the test tube is at the same horizontal position. When they are at the same horizontal position, the motor 3 (52) is activated again, causing clamping blocks 3 (55) and 4 (56) to clamp the test tube. When the test tube is not at the same horizontal position, the electric telescopic rod 61 is activated, causing its output shaft to extend, which directionally lifts the top plate 62 via the guide shaft 63 on the guide 64, thus bringing the test tube to the same horizontal position. Then, the motor 3 (52) is activated again... Clamping blocks 3 (55) and 4 (56) clamp the test tube. Starting motor 1 (24) rotates the lead screw 25, causing the lifting platform 26 to descend directionally on the slide 1 (23), which in turn causes the connecting platform 27 to descend directionally. When the lower surface of the adsorption plate 43 is flush with the top of the test tube cap, motor 1 (24) stops. Then, starting motor 2 (31) rotates the bidirectional lead screw 32, causing clamping blocks 1 (33) and 2 (34) to move directionally on the slide 2 (28). Clamping blocks 1 (33) and 2 (34) clamp the cap of the pharyngeal swab test tube. Simultaneously, starting the air pump 41 adsorbs the pharyngeal swab test tube cap onto the adsorption plate 43. Starting motor 1 (24) rotates the lead screw 25, causing the lifting platform 26 to rise directionally on the slide 1 (23), which in turn causes the connecting platform 27 to rise directionally, completing the test tube opening operation.
