Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reagent storage and retrieval technology, and in particular relates to an automatic reagent storage and retrieval device. Background Technology

[0002] Reagent compartments are core reagent storage units in biological laboratories, clinical testing centers, chemical analysis institutions, and other settings. They are mainly used to centrally store various experimental reagents. Reagent compartments not only provide a safe storage space for reagents but also prevent their performance from being affected by external contamination, light, or temperature fluctuations.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream reagent storage is still based on manual operation, relying on staff to manually classify, label, store and retrieve reagents. When there are many types of reagents, the manual classification process is cumbersome and inefficient. In addition, the error tolerance of manual classification and storage is low, and problems such as reagents being placed in the wrong area, label confusion or information recording deviations are likely to occur, which may lead to the misuse of reagents in the experiment and interfere with the test results.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide an automated reagent storage and retrieval device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic reagent storage and retrieval device. This device automatically identifies the identification code on the reagent bottle using a barcode scanner and transmits the reagent information to a controller. The controller coordinates the longitudinal and lateral movement components. The longitudinal movement component uses a double-stroke electric actuator to move the mounting plate longitudinally along the slide rail, while the lateral movement component uses a motor-driven screw to move the sliding plate laterally. This achieves precise longitudinal and lateral movement of the reagent rack and completes automated partitioned storage and retrieval of reagents. It solves the problems of cumbersome procedures and experimental errors caused by reliance on manual operation for reagent storage and retrieval.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is an automatic reagent storage and retrieval device, including a base plate; a longitudinal moving component is provided on the top of the base plate, and three transverse moving components are provided on the top of the longitudinal moving component. A reagent rack for placing reagents is installed inside the transverse moving component, and an outer shell covering the longitudinal moving component and the transverse moving component is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The longitudinal movement assembly includes two parallel slide rails fixedly connected to the top of the base plate and a double-stroke electric actuator located between the two slide rails. Each of the two slide rails is equipped with a slide block. The top of the two slide blocks is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the double-stroke electric actuator. The lateral movement assembly includes a slide plate fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, a slide plate slidably connected inside the slide plate, and a reagent rack installed on the top of the slide plate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the slide plate. A transversely penetrating screw is rotatably connected inside the slide plate, and the connecting block is threaded onto the outside of the screw. A motor for driving the screw to rotate is fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a material inlet is provided at the top of the outer casing near the motor end, and a door covering the material inlet is rotatably connected to the top of the outer casing.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a reagent dispensing port is provided at the top horizontal center line of the door, and a sampling port for removing reagents from the reagent bottle is provided at the top of the outer shell, which is collinear with the dispensing port.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a barcode scanner for identifying the identification code on the reagent bottle is installed on the top of the door, and a controller electrically connected to the motor, the barcode scanner and the double-stroke electric actuator is installed on the outside of the housing.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the reagent rack is U-shaped, and two horizontal plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the reagent rack, and two positioning posts are fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate, and the horizontal plates are movably sleeved on the outside of the corresponding positioning posts, and the internal threads of the positioning posts are fitted with fixing bolts for fixing the reagent rack.

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1 Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model is an automatic reagent storage and retrieval device, including a base plate 100; a longitudinal moving component 200 is provided on the top of the base plate 100, and three transverse moving components 300 are provided on the top of the longitudinal moving component 200. A reagent rack 400 for placing reagents is installed inside the transverse moving component 300. A shell 500 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 100, covering the longitudinal moving component 200 and the transverse moving component 300. The three transverse moving components 300 can realize the partitioned storage of multiple sets of reagents, effectively improving the space utilization rate of reagent storage; the shell 500 can isolate the longitudinal moving component 200 and the transverse moving component 300 from the outside world, preventing external dust and impurities from contaminating the reagents, while protecting the internal mechanical components from external collision damage, ensuring the overall operational stability of the device; The longitudinal moving component 200 includes two parallel slide rails 201 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 100 and a double-stroke electric actuator 205 located between the two slide rails 201. Each slide rail 201 is equipped with a slide block 203. The top of the two slide blocks 203 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 202. The bottom of the mounting plate 202 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 204, and the fixing block 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the double-stroke electric actuator 205. The double-stroke electric actuator 205 drives the mounting plate 202 to move through the fixing block 204. The thrust is stable and the movement accuracy is high, which can realize the precise longitudinal positioning of the longitudinal moving component 200 to the transverse moving component 300, and meet the position requirements for precise storage and retrieval of reagents. The lateral movement assembly 300 includes a slide plate 301 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 202, a slide plate 302 slidably connected inside the slide plate 301, and a reagent rack 400 installed on the top of the slide plate 302. A connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the slide plate 302. A transversely penetrating screw 304 is rotatably connected inside the slide plate 301, and the connecting block 303 is threaded onto the outside of the screw 304. A motor 305 for driving the screw 304 to rotate is fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate 301. Motor 305 drives screw 304 to rotate, and the rotational motion of screw 304 is converted into the lateral linear motion of slide plate 302 through connecting block 303, so as to realize the precise lateral movement of reagent rack 400 driven by slide plate 302, ensuring that reagent rack 400 accurately reaches the picking or storage position.

[0023] Specifically, a material inlet 501 is provided on the top of the outer casing 500 near the motor 305, and a door 502 covering the material inlet 501 is rotatably connected to the top of the outer casing 500. The top horizontal center line of the door 502 has a vertically penetrating inlet 505 for dispensing reagents, and the top of the outer shell 500 has a sampling port 506, which is collinear with the inlet 505, for taking out the reagents from the reagent bottle. A barcode scanner 600 is installed on the top of the door 502 to identify the identification code on the reagent bottle. A controller 700 is installed on the outside of the outer casing 500, which is electrically connected to the motor 305, the barcode scanner 600 and the double-stroke electric actuator 205. The barcode scanner 600 can quickly identify the identification code on the reagent bottle, realize the automatic entry and traceability of reagent information, and avoid information errors or omissions caused by manual recording. As the control core of the device, the controller 700 can centrally coordinate the operation of the motor 305, the barcode scanner 600 and the double-stroke electric actuator 205 to realize the automated operation of reagent storage and retrieval, reduce manual intervention, reduce the operation error rate, and at the same time, it is convenient for staff to set parameters and view the operating status through the controller 700, thus improving the ease of use of the device.

[0024] Furthermore, both sides of the inner wall of the slide plate 301 are rotatably connected with two rows of guide wheels 307, and the slide plate 302 slides between the two rows of guide wheels 307. The guide wheels 307 convert the sliding friction between the slide plate 302 and the slide plate 301 into rolling friction, reduce frictional resistance, and make the slide plate 302 move more smoothly.

[0025] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When reagents need to be stored, the staff first starts the device through the controller 700 and brings the reagent bottle to be stored close to the barcode scanner 600 on the top of the door 502. The barcode scanner 600 automatically scans the identification code and transmits the reagent information to the controller 700. The controller 700 allocates storage partitions according to the information. The partition corresponds to one of the three horizontal moving components 300. Then, the controller controls the vertical moving component 200 to run. The double-stroke electric push rod 205 drives the mounting plate 202 to move longitudinally along the two slide rails 201 through the fixing block 204. Then, the controller 700 controls the motor 305 of the horizontal moving component 300 to start. The motor 305 drives the screw 304 to rotate. Through the connecting block 303, the slide plate 302 moves laterally a certain distance along the inside of the slide plate 301, so that the storage position of the reagent rack 400 on the top of the slide plate 302 is aligned with the delivery port 505. Then, the staff puts the reagent bottle into the storage position through the delivery port 505. In this way, the reagents can be automatically classified and stored.

[0026] Example 2 Please see Figure 4 Based on the first specific embodiment, the reagent rack 400 is U-shaped, and two horizontal plates 401 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the reagent rack 400. Two positioning posts 306 are fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 302. The horizontal plates 401 are movably sleeved on the outside of the corresponding positioning posts 306. The internal threads of the positioning posts 306 are fitted with fixing bolts 402 for fixing the reagent rack 400.

[0027] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the horizontal plate 401 cooperates with the positioning column 306 to realize the quick positioning and installation of the reagent rack 400. The staff does not need to repeatedly adjust the position of the reagent rack 400, thus improving the installation efficiency. The fixing bolt 402 can firmly fix the horizontal plate 401 to the positioning column 306, preventing the reagent rack 400 from loosening or shifting during movement or use. At the same time, the detachable fixing bolt 402 facilitates the disassembly, maintenance, cleaning or replacement of the reagent rack 400 in the later stage, improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.

[0028] Example 3 Please see Figure 2 Based on specific embodiment one and specific embodiment two, an inspection port 503 is provided at one end of the outer shell 500 near the motor 305, and a cover plate 504 for sealing the inspection port 503 is detachably fixed on the outside of the outer shell 500, and multiple heat dissipation vents are provided inside the cover plate 504.

[0029] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the inspection port 503 provides the staff with a channel to directly contact the longitudinal moving component 200, the transverse moving component 300 and other components inside the housing 500, which facilitates the later inspection, maintenance or component replacement. The multiple heat dissipation vents on the cover plate 504 can timely dissipate the heat generated by the motor 305 and other components during operation.
