[0073] Sensor 206, sensor 3207 and sensor 4208 are fixed on baffle 209 and used to detect sample arrival;

[0074] The baffle 209 is fixed to the mounting base plate 201 via the driven wheel mechanism 205 and the support plate 210.

[0082] The blowing mechanism 2 detects the sample position through sensor 206, sensor 307 and sensor 408, and drives the synchronous belt 211 to transport the sample through stepper motor mechanism 202.

[0083] The pneumatic feeding assembly 3 blows the sample into the target module without contact via air blowing mechanism 302 or air blowing mechanism 305.

[0084] Suitable for sample tubes of different lengths;

[0085] Specifically, the automatic conveying device achieves a fully automated process of sorting samples from disorder to order, removing superimposed samples without contact, scanning and correcting errors online, and accurately feeding samples through the coordinated work of sorting component 1, air blowing mechanism 2 and friction plate 3.

[0086] Material sorting process:

[0087] The sorting component 1, driven by the stepper motor mechanism 108, pushes disordered samples horizontally to a designated position via pusher plate 109 and pusher plate 213. During the pushing process, sensor 105 detects whether the samples are stacked in real time. If stacking is detected, the blowing mechanism 102 is immediately activated to blow the upper sample away from the pusher plate in a non-contact manner, ensuring that only a single sample is pushed at a time. At the same time, barcode scanners 106 and 107 scan the samples online to obtain sample information and transmit it to the control system for subsequent sorting.

[0088] Conveying process:

[0089] After the sample is sorted, it falls into the blowing mechanism 2. After the second sensor 206 and the third sensor 207 detect that the sample is in place, the stepper motor mechanism 202 drives the synchronous belt 211 to rotate and transport the sample backward. After the fourth sensor 208 detects that the sample has reached the predetermined position, the control system determines the target module according to the barcode information and starts timing to ensure that the sample is accurately transported to the corresponding position of the friction plate 3.

[0090] Pneumatic feeding process:

[0091] When a sample is transported to a target module such as a pneumatic sample transfer module or a four-compartment sample sorting module, the air blowing mechanism 302 or the air blowing mechanism 305 is activated to blow the sample into the target module in a non-contact manner, completing the sorting or collection. The entire process does not require mechanical contact with the sample, avoiding sample damage. At the same time, the coordinated work of sensors and barcode scanners ensures the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.

[0092] Using air blowing to remove stacked materials and unload them reduces mechanical contact and improves sample safety;

[0093] Online barcode scanning is linked with sensors to achieve real-time collection and error correction of sample information;

[0094] The modular design simplifies the structure, adapts to sample tubes of different lengths, and improves versatility and work efficiency.

[0095] Working principle: Material sorting: The pusher plate horizontally pushes the disordered samples to the designated position. When the sensor detects the stacking, the air blowing mechanism 102 automatically blows the upper layer of samples to ensure single-layer arrangement. The barcode scanner scans the sample information and transmits it to the control system. Conveying and detection: The sorted samples enter the conveyor belt. The sensor detects the position and starts the conveyor. The system determines the target sorting module based on the barcode information. Pneumatic unloading: After the sample reaches the target position, the air blowing mechanism 302 blows the sample into the corresponding module (such as the sorting bin or the transmission channel) without contact.
