Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical test specimen technology, specifically to an automatic sorting device for medical test specimens. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medical testing processes, specimen sorting (such as blood, urine, and tissue sections) is a crucial link between specimen collection and laboratory testing, directly affecting testing efficiency and result accuracy. With increasing medical demands, the volume of specimens handled by hospitals at all levels, health check centers, and third-party testing institutions has increased dramatically, often reaching thousands or even tens of thousands of specimens per day. The traditional manual sorting method is gradually revealing its insurmountable limitations.

[0003] Traditional sorting methods rely on staff to manually classify and group specimens according to the labels on the specimen containers, based on the testing items, sending departments, priorities, or types of testing equipment. This process has the following significant problems: low efficiency: manual sorting requires checking information for each specimen, which can easily create a bottleneck when the number of specimens surges, prolonging specimen turnaround time, especially hindering the rapid processing of emergency specimens; high error rate: long hours of repetitive work can easily lead to staff fatigue, potentially resulting in missorting or omissions. If a specimen is sent to the wrong place, not only does it need to be re-sorted, but it may also delay diagnosis or cause medical disputes. To address these issues, we propose an automated sorting device for medical laboratory specimens. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic sorting device for medical test specimens. This device offers the advantages of automatic sorting and solves the problem of traditional sorting methods that rely on staff manually classifying specimens according to labels on the specimen containers based on test items, sending departments, priorities, or testing equipment types. This process has the following significant problems: low efficiency: manual sorting requires checking information for each specimen, which can easily create a bottleneck when the number of specimens surges, prolonging specimen turnaround time, especially hindering the rapid processing of emergency specimens; high error rate: prolonged repetitive work can easily lead to staff fatigue, potentially resulting in missorting or omissions. If a specimen is sent to the wrong location, not only does it require re-sorting, but it may also delay diagnosis or lead to medical disputes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic sorting device for medical test specimens, comprising a worktable, a first motor fixedly connected to the central axis on the top right side of the worktable, a bracket fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, a second motor fixedly connected to the front of the bracket, a drive roller fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, a conveyor belt sleeved on the surface of the drive roller, a driven roller sleeved on the left side of the inner surface of the conveyor belt, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt, a CCD camera disposed on one side of the top of the conveyor belt, and a guide frame disposed on the left side of the top of the worktable.

[0006] Preferably, the rear side of the driving roller, the rear side of the driven roller, and the front side of the driven roller are all movably connected to the bracket via bearings, and support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the worktable.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the guide frame is fixedly connected to a support base, and the bottom of the support base is fixedly connected to the worktable.

[0008] Preferably, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable and to the left side of the central axis, a slide block is slidably connected to one side of the slide rail, and the top of the slide block is fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0009] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the CCD camera, and one side of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the support.

[0010] Preferably, limit plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the surfaces of the driving roller and the driven roller, a PLC controller is fixedly connected to the right front end of the top of the worktable, and a storage battery is fixedly connected to the right rear end of the top of the worktable.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic sorting device for medical test specimens, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] After being started by the PLC controller, the second motor drives the active roller to rotate. Through the cooperation of the conveyor belt and the driven roller, the connecting seat on the surface of the conveyor belt moves cyclically. The connecting seat is used to place the specimen container to be sorted. The limiting plate laterally limits the conveyor belt to prevent the specimen from shifting or falling during the conveying process. The first motor can drive the bracket to rotate along the slide rail and slide block, flexibly adjusting the orientation of the material conveyed by the conveyor belt to ensure that the specimen can be accurately connected to the subsequent sorting process. The bracket is connected to the active roller and the driven roller through bearings to ensure the stability and smoothness of the transmission process. When the specimen moves with the conveyor belt to the area below the CCD camera, the CCD camera supported by the fixed frame... The markings on the surface of the specimen container are quickly scanned and images are acquired. The acquired information is transmitted to the PLC controller in real time. The PLC controller uses a built-in algorithm to analyze key information such as the specimen's testing items, the department to which it is sent, and its priority, and completes the matching of specimen classification rules. Based on the recognition results, the PLC controller instructs the first motor to adjust the position of the support, so that the conveyor belt is aligned with the corresponding guide rack. The guide rack is fixed to the worktable by the support base. Different guide racks correspond to different classification targets. When the specimen reaches the designated position, the movement of the conveyor belt pushes the specimen from the connecting seat to the guide rack, and slides into the preset collection area through the inclined structure of the guide rack, completing one sorting cycle.

[0025] Working principle: After the device is started by the PLC controller 15, the second motor 4 drives the active roller 5 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 6 and the driven roller 7, the connecting seat 8 on the surface of the conveyor belt 6 moves cyclically. The connecting seat 8 is used to place the specimen container to be sorted. The limiting plate 17 provides lateral limiting for the conveyor belt 6 to prevent the specimen from shifting or falling during the conveying process. The first motor 2 can drive the bracket 3 to rotate along the slide rail 11 and the slide seat 12, flexibly adjusting the orientation of the material conveyed by the conveyor belt 6 to ensure that the specimen can be accurately connected to the subsequent sorting process.
