Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a self-contained, floor-standing, dual-station labeling device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, hospitals or health check centers need to collect human blood samples for testing or treatment purposes and analyze the samples. There are generally two methods in the current sampling and preparation process: one is for medical staff to print the patient's barcode using a barcode printer and then manually affix the label, and the other is to use labeling equipment to automatically affix the label.

[0003] Manual labeling has low accuracy and is prone to errors when the workload is large. Automatic labeling equipment is mostly single-track, and when there are many test tubes, the bottom tubes are under great pressure and are not easy to fall, which can easily cause jamming. When there are few test tubes, medical staff need to frequently move and load the tubes, which is cumbersome and affects blood collection efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a self-contained, floor-mounted, dual-station labeling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-loading, floor-standing, dual-station labeling device to solve the problems of low accuracy and easy labeling errors in manual labeling, and the fact that most automatic labeling devices use a single slide, which is prone to jamming or frequent tube loading, thus affecting blood collection efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-supporting, floor-standing, dual-station labeling device, comprising a device frame, a tray placement unit installed on the left half of the device frame, a spare tube unit installed in the middle of the right half of the device frame, and a labeling unit installed inside the device frame below the spare tube unit. The spare tube unit includes a mounting bracket, a tube drop track, a spare tube track, a spare tube baffle, a mounting base, and a solenoid valve.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray placement unit is used to place blood collection tubes, the tube preparation unit is used to place multiple sets of tubes side by side to wait for feeding, and the labeling unit is used to automatically label the tubes.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the equipment frame, and two sets of pipe drop rails are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting bracket.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the tube dropper is used to accurately deliver the test tube into the labeling unit.

[0010] Optionally, multiple sets of spare pipe slides are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame above the two sets of pipe drop slides, and the spare pipe baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the spare pipe slide.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sets of spare pipe slides are coordinated to achieve uninterrupted material feeding.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting base is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting frame, and an electromagnetic valve is installed on the lower surface of the mounting base at the position in front of the spare pipe slide.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the electromagnetic valve is used to control the discharge of test tubes. When the electromagnetic valve is closed, the test tube is blocked inside the spare tube slide. When the electromagnetic valve is open, the test tube slides down from inside the spare tube slide.

[0014] Optionally, the tray placement unit includes a support plate, a right baffle, a left baffle, a front baffle, and a test tube tray, and multiple sets of support plates are fixedly connected to the inner side of the equipment frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is used to place the test tube tray.

[0016] Optionally, the right baffle, left baffle, and front baffle are combined to form a placement groove, and the test tube tray is slidably connected to the interior of the placement groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement groove is used to position the test tube tray, thereby improving the accuracy of the test tube tray's placement.

[0018] Optionally, the labeling unit includes a detection plate, a clamping component, and a labeling component, wherein the detection plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the equipment frame.

[0019] Optionally, a clamping component is installed on the upper surface of the detection plate at the lower end of the two sets of drop pipe slides, and the labeling component is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping component.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping component is used to hold and fix the slipping test tube, while the labeling component applies a label to the surface of the test tube.

[0021] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0022] 1. This utility model utilizes a tube preparation unit to prepare test tubes. During use, multiple tube preparation slides work together to reduce the number of test tubes piled up while increasing the overall number of test tubes, thereby reducing the number of feeding operations. At the same time, when a tube preparation slide becomes stuck or lacks material, it can be immediately switched to other tube preparation slides to unload the test tubes inside other tube preparation slides, achieving uninterrupted feeding, effectively improving tube collection efficiency, and improving labeling accuracy in conjunction with a labeling unit.

[0023] 2. This utility model can simultaneously achieve dual-station labeling by cooperating with two sets of tube drop channels, further improving the efficiency of tube collection and blood sampling. In addition, the tube drop channels are funnel-shaped, which can accurately guide the test tubes inside the multiple sets of prepared tube channels into the labeling unit, further improving the labeling accuracy.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated self-supporting, floor-standing, dual-station labeling device includes a device frame 1. A tray placement unit 2 is installed on the left half of the device frame 1, and a spare tube unit 4 is installed in the middle of the right half of the device frame 1. A labeling unit 5 is installed inside the device frame 1 below the spare tube unit 4. The tray placement unit 2 includes a support plate 21, a right baffle 22, a left baffle 23, a front baffle 24, and a test tube tray 25. Multiple sets of support plates 21 are fixedly connected to the inside of the device frame 1. The right baffle 22, the left baffle 23, and the front baffle 24 are combined to form a placement groove. The test tube tray 25 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement groove.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are 12 sets of placement slots, and each set of placement slots contains a test tube tray 25. The placement slots are limited by three sides: right baffle 22, left baffle 23, and front baffle 24, which improves the stability of the test tube tray 25. The surface of the test tube tray 25 is provided with 10*10 test tubes, and the tray placement unit 2 can hold a total of 1200 test tubes.

[0034] The test tube tray 25 is pre-packaged with the test tubes. During use, after the packaging film is opened, the entire tray is inserted into the placement slot to fix the test tube tray 25 and the test tubes. Then, the staff takes the test tubes and puts them into the preparation unit 4. The preparation unit 4 then feeds multiple sets of test tubes into the labeling unit 5 for labeling.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The backup pipe unit 4 includes a mounting frame 41, a pipe drop rail 42, a backup pipe rail 43, a backup pipe baffle 44, a mounting base 45, and a solenoid valve 46. The mounting frame 41 is fixedly connected to the equipment frame 1. Two sets of pipe drop rails 42 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting frame 41. Multiple sets of backup pipe rails 43 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 41 above the two sets of pipe drop rails 42. The backup pipe baffle 44 is fixedly connected to the side of the backup pipe rail 43. The mounting base 45 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting frame 41. Solenoid valves 46 are installed on the lower surface of the mounting base 45 in front of the backup pipe rail 43.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are a total of 12 sets of spare pipe slides 43. Each set of pipe drop slides 42 has 6 sets of spare pipe slides 43 on its upper side. There are also 12 sets of electromagnetic valves 46, which correspond to the 12 sets of spare pipe slides 43 respectively. The electromagnetic valves 46 use an electromagnet to control the rotation of the baffle plate to open and close the front end of the spare pipe slides 43 for material feeding.

[0037] When the spare tube unit 4 receives the labeling instruction, it selects one of the spare tube slides 43 and opens the solenoid valve 46 at its front end. At this time, the test tube at the front end of the spare tube slide 43 will slide into the inside of the drop tube slide 42. The funnel-shaped drop tube slide 42 will guide the test tube to the center and discharge it from the outlet at the bottom, so that it falls accurately into the inside of the labeling unit 5.

[0038] During the feeding process, when the test tubes inside one set of spare tube slides 43 are used up or jammed, the system immediately switches to another slide to discharge the test tubes inside the other spare tube slide 43 downwards, thereby achieving uninterrupted feeding, effectively improving the efficiency of test tube labeling and blood collection, and issuing a reminder to remind the operators to replenish materials or clean up in time.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The labeling unit 5 includes a detection plate 51, a clamping component 52, and a labeling component 53. The detection plate 51 is fixedly connected to the surface of the equipment frame 1. The clamping component 52 is installed on the upper surface of the detection plate 51 at the lower end of the two sets of pipe drop slides 42. The labeling component 53 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping component 52.

[0040] In addition, the clamping member 52 and the labeling member 53 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The initial inner diameter of the clamping member 52 is larger than the outer diameter of the test tube but smaller than the outer diameter of the test tube cap. When the test tube falls into the inside of the clamping member 52, it will be stuck inside the clamping member 52. Then the clamping member 52 locks and fixes the test tube. At this time, the labeling member 53 affixes the label to the surface of the test tube. Finally, the clamping member 52 relaxes and discharges the labeled test tube.

[0041] Furthermore, during use, the surface of the equipment frame 1 is covered with a protective cover, which seals multiple test tubes inside the protective cover to prevent the test tubes from being exposed to the outside for a long time and causing contamination.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the test tubes on the surface of the tray placement unit 2 are taken out, they are placed inside the preparation unit 4. The preparation unit 4 is used to prepare the test tubes. During use, multiple sets of preparation tube slides 43 work together to reduce the number of test tubes piled up while increasing the overall number of test tubes, thereby reducing the number of feeding times. At the same time, when a preparation tube slide 43 is jammed or short of material, it can be immediately switched to other preparation tube slides 43 to feed the test tubes inside the other preparation tube slides 43, achieving uninterrupted feeding and effectively improving the efficiency of tube collection and blood collection. Through the cooperation of two sets of tube drop slides 42, dual-station labeling can be achieved simultaneously, further improving the efficiency of tube collection and blood collection. Moreover, the tube drop slides 42 are funnel-shaped, which can accurately guide the test tubes inside the multiple sets of preparation tube slides 43 into the labeling unit 5, further improving the labeling accuracy.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
