[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment manufacturing technology, specifically to an automated equipment for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tube assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical testing, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) testing is an important routine test. As a key consumable in ESR testing, the assembly quality and efficiency of ESR tubes directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent tests.

[0003] Currently, the traditional method of assembling erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tubes mainly relies on manual operation, where the tube cap and body are assembled manually. However, this method has many drawbacks. First, manual operation is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. With the increasing demand for medical testing, the inefficient assembly method limits the output of ESR tubes. Second, the consistency of manual assembly is difficult to guarantee. Different operators have different techniques and strengths, which may lead to deviations in the sealing and diameter uniformity of the assembled ESR tubes, thus affecting the accuracy of ESR test results. Therefore, this utility model proposes an automated ESR tube assembly machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated device for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tube assembly, comprising an assembly table 1, a feeding table 2 disposed on one side of the assembly table 1, and an ESR tube assembly mechanism. The feeding table 2 has a tube cap placement cavity 21 for array placement of tube caps. The ESR tube assembly mechanism includes a tube cap picking component 3 and an ESR tube body assembly component 5. The tube cap picking component 3 includes a fixing frame 31 mounted on a slide 32. The slide 32 is connected to a lead screw 33 in a guide groove of the assembly table 1, and is driven by a first motor 34 on one side of the assembly table 1 via the lead screw 33. Below, a rectangular frame 36 is connected via a second cylinder 35. The rectangular frame 36 is provided with multiple suction cups 37 that are connected to the pneumatic adsorption device 39 via suction tubes 38. The blood sedimentation tube assembly assembly 5 includes a cylindrical assembly seat 51 mounted on the assembly table 1 via a bottom movable shaft 53 and a bearing. The outer ring of the assembly seat 51 is integrally formed with a toothed ring 52. Multiple sets of toothed rings 52 of the assembly seat 51 mesh with the toothed groove at the end of the adjusting rod 54. The adjusting rod 54 is connected to a screw 55 in the slide groove of the assembly table 1 and is driven by a second motor 56 on the side wall of the assembly table 1 via the screw 55.

[0020] The automated cap-grabbing assembly 3 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tube assembly assembly 5 replace the traditional manual assembly method. The cooperation between the slide 32, lead screw 33 and the first motor 34 in the cap-grabbing assembly 3, and the coordinated operation of the adjusting rod 54, screw 55 and the second motor 56 in the ESR tube assembly assembly 5, enables the rapid grasping, movement and assembly of the cap, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of ESR tubes. Furthermore, through the coordinated transmission of the assembly seat 51, toothed ring 52, adjusting rod 54 and screw 55, the cap and tube body of each ESR tube can be accurately positioned and subjected to uniform force during assembly, thereby ensuring the sealing and uniformity of the tube diameter after assembly.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The tube cap placement cavity 21 is divided by three sets of spacing rods 23 array, and the side wall of the tube cap placement cavity 21 is provided with a push rod 24, which is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 25 on the side wall of the loading platform 2.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The rectangular frame 36 is symmetrically provided with guide posts 351 on both sides above it. The two sets of guide posts 351 pass vertically through the top of the fixed frame 31. Through the cooperation between the guide posts 351 and the top of the fixed frame 31, the rectangular frame 36 is provided with precise guidance for its up and down movement. When the second cylinder 35 drives the rectangular frame 36 to rise and fall, the guide posts 351 can limit the movement trajectory of the rectangular frame 36, ensuring that it always moves smoothly in the vertical direction and avoids tilting or deviation.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The pneumatic adsorption device 39, together with the positioning plate 391, is detachably installed on both sides of the rectangular frame 36.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The mounting plate 311 is an integral structure below the fixed frame 31. The mounting plate 311 is securely installed above the slide block 32 with bolts.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The assembly table 1 is equipped with a controller 4, which can be electrically connected to the first cylinder 25, the second cylinder 35, the first motor 34 and the second motor 56 through PLC programming control technology.

[0026] In use, the tube caps are neatly placed in the tube cap placement cavity 21. Three sets of spacing rods 23 array the tube caps to ensure a neat arrangement. Then, the controller 4 is activated, directing the first motor 34, the second cylinder 35, and the pneumatic adsorption device 39. The second cylinder 35 starts, moving the rectangular frame 36 and suction cup 37 downwards. The two sets of guide posts 351 slide vertically on the top of the fixing frame 31. When the suction cup 37 contacts the tube cap in the tube cap placement cavity 21, the pneumatic adsorption device 39 operates. It should be noted that the pneumatic adsorption device 39 is... This is a conventional equipment and technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here. The suction cup 37 generates suction through the suction tube 38, firmly holding multiple sets of tube caps in place. Then, the first motor 34 drives the lead screw 33 to rotate, causing the fixing frame 31, the rectangular frame 36, and the adsorbed tube caps to move along the guide groove of the assembly table 1, precisely transferring the tube caps to the corresponding positions above the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) tube body assembly assembly 5. The ESR tube body is pre-placed in the cylindrical assembly base 51. Multiple assembly bases 51 are mounted on the assembly table 1 via bottom movable shafts 53 and bearings. The second cylinder 35 actuates again, causing the rectangular frame 36 with the tube cap to move downwards, aligning and contacting the tube cap with the tube body in the assembly seat 51 below. Then, the second motor 56 starts, driving the screw 55 to rotate. The screw 55 drives the adjusting rod 54 to move horizontally in the slide groove of the assembly table 1. The toothed groove at the end of the adjusting rod 54 meshes with the toothed rings 52 on the outer ring of the multiple sets of assembly seats 51, causing the assembly seat 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the tube body to rotate, achieving a tight assembly of the tube cap and the tube body. After assembly, the pneumatic adsorption device 39 stops working, the suction cup 37 loses its suction force, and the assembled ESR tube remains on the assembly seat 51. Then, the staff can place the assembled ESR tube on the material plate on the assembly table 1.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
