Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of detection kit manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automatic feeder for the production of PCR molecular detection kits. Background Technology
[0002] A test kit is a tool used to detect specific components, pathogens, or molecular markers in biological samples. These kits are commonly used in fields such as medicine, scientific research, and environmental monitoring, and can provide test results through principles such as chemical reactions, immune reactions, and molecular recognition.
[0003] Currently, in the production of test kits, a feeder is needed to add raw materials into the processing equipment. However, while current feeders can transport raw materials, they still have some shortcomings. For example, due to the varying heights of the processing equipment, the feeder may be difficult to adapt to the higher equipment, affecting the supply of raw materials for test kit production. To address these issues, we propose an automatic feeder for PCR molecular diagnostic kit production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic feeder for the production of PCR molecular diagnostic kits, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic feeder for producing PCR molecular diagnostic kits includes a movable base with two sets of casters fixedly mounted on its bottom surface. A horizontal plate is positioned above the movable base, and a cylinder is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the horizontal plate. A hydraulic rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the cylinder, with its extension end fixedly mounted to the upper surface of the movable base. Two sets of sliding cylinders are formed on the surface of the horizontal plate, and a sliding rod is slidably mounted on the inner wall of each sliding cylinder. The bottom end of each sliding rod is fixedly mounted to the upper surface of the movable base. A feeding cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the cylinder, and a motor is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the feeding cylinder. A spiral conveying shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor. A discharge pipe is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder, and a set of inlets is formed on the upper surface of the cylinder.
[0007] In a further embodiment, a guide ring is fitted on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder, and the bottom surface of the guide ring is fixedly installed to the inner bottom wall of the cylinder.
[0008] In a further embodiment, two sets of limiting blocks are provided above the horizontal plate, and the bottom surfaces of the two sets of limiting blocks are fixedly installed to the top ends of the two sets of sliding rods, respectively.
[0009] In a further embodiment, a fixing seat is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod, and the bottom surface of the fixing seat is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable base.
[0010] In a further embodiment, a feed hood is provided above the cylinder, and the bottom surface of the feed hood is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cylinder.
[0011] In a further embodiment, a control switch is fixedly installed on the front of the horizontal plate, and a warning strip is fixedly installed on the front of the cylinder.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This application utilizes casters to enable the device to move, and a motor drives a screw conveyor shaft to rotate, thereby guiding the raw material inside the cylinder. As the screw conveyor shaft rises, it lifts the raw material to the discharge pipe, allowing the discharge pipe to supply material to the production equipment. Furthermore, the cooperation of a hydraulic rod, a sliding rod, and a sliding cylinder allows the sliding cylinder to move upward along the sliding rod, thus moving the cylinder and controlling the vertical movement of the discharge pipe. This allows the discharge pipe to be adjusted in height to supply material to production equipment at different heights. Attached Figure Description

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 In this utility model, an automatic feeder for the production of PCR molecular diagnostic reagent kits includes a movable base 2. Two sets of universal wheels 1 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the movable base 2. A horizontal plate 5 is provided above the movable base 2. Two sets of limiting blocks 14 are provided above the horizontal plate 5. The bottom surfaces of the two sets of limiting blocks 14 are fixedly installed to the top surfaces of two sets of sliding rods 3 respectively. By providing the limiting blocks 14, the sliding rods 3 can be limited to prevent them from falling off. A cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the horizontal plate 5. A feed hood 9 is provided above the cylinder 8. The bottom surface of the feed hood 9 is fixedly installed to the upper surface of the cylinder 8. By providing the feed hood 9, the raw materials can be guided so that the raw materials can easily enter the interior of the cylinder 8.
[0022] A guide ring 6 is fitted on the outer surface of the conveying cylinder 10. The bottom surface of the guide ring 6 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the cylinder 8. The guide ring 6 can guide the raw material so that it can be lifted upward by the screw conveyor shaft 13. A hydraulic rod 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cylinder 8. A fixing seat 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 16. The bottom surface of the fixing seat 17 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable base 2. The fixing seat 17 can reinforce the hydraulic rod 16 and prevent the hydraulic rod 16 from loosening or falling off.
[0023] The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 16 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable base 2. Two sets of sliding cylinders 4 are provided on the surface of the horizontal plate 5. A sliding rod 3 is slidably installed on the inner wall of each sliding cylinder 4.

A motor 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conveying cylinder 10. A screw conveying shaft 13 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 12. A discharge pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveying cylinder 10. A set of feed inlets 18 is provided on the upper surface of the cylinder 8. A control switch 15 is fixedly installed on the front of the horizontal plate 5. A warning strip 7 is fixedly installed on the front of the cylinder 8. The device can be controlled by the control switch 15.
[0024] The working principle of this application is:
[0025] In use, the device is pushed so that it can be moved by the casters 1 and brought closer to the production equipment. Then, the hydraulic rod 16 is activated so that it can control the cylinder 8 to move up and down, adjusting the height of the discharge pipe 11 and adding the raw material into the cylinder 8. Then, the motor 12 is started so that it drives the screw conveyor shaft 13 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw conveyor shaft 13, the raw material is lifted so that it can enter the cylinder 8 and thus the discharge pipe 11 can discharge the raw material downwards, allowing the raw material to be added into the production equipment and feeding the production equipment.
