Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a transfer component for reagent kits in a biochemical analysis system. Background Technology

[0002] Biochemical analysis systems are core equipment in modern medical diagnostics, life science research, and environmental monitoring, used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of biological samples such as blood, urine, and tissue fluid. Reagent kits, as the core carriers of reaction reagents in biochemical analysis systems, are used to react with samples in specific biochemical reactions.

[0003] Existing kits typically consist of a hollow box with a flat support surface at the bottom.

[0004] In automated biochemical analysis systems, achieving efficient, stable, and accurate automated transfer of reagent kits between different locations within the system is crucial for ensuring the continuity of the testing process, increasing equipment throughput, and guaranteeing accurate and reliable test results. Therefore, the reagent kit transfer component is an important part of the overall system automation design.

[0005] To enable rapid testing, analytical systems are typically equipped with reagent transfer components, most of which are simple conveyor belts. However, due to their inherent structural limitations, conveyor belts operate on a linear trajectory. This makes them unsuitable for the complex environments required for testing, resulting in limited applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a reagent transfer component for a biochemical analysis system that is highly applicable and has a compact structure.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A reagent kit transfer assembly in a biochemical analysis system includes a rack and a transport channel located on the rack. The transport channel comprises a first baffle, a second baffle, and a moving plate. The first baffle includes a straight transport section and an arc-shaped transition section. The second baffle includes a straight transport section. The first and second transport sections are arranged parallel to each other, forming the transport channel between the first, the transition section, and the second transport section. The assembly also includes a turntable assembly connected to the rack, with its edge located between two adjacent second transport sections. The moving plate includes a flat body and a guide block located at the lower center of the body. Both ends of the body overlap the upper parts of the first and second transport sections, respectively. The guide block is located between the first and second transport sections. When the moving plate enters the transition section, one end of the body overlaps the upper part of the transition section, and the other end overlaps the upper part of the turntable assembly.

[0008] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the first transport section and the transition section are an integrated structure.

[0009] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, one side of the main body has a convex-concave engagement part one, and the other side of the main body has a convex-concave engagement part two. In two adjacent moving plates, the engagement part two of one main body can engage with the engagement part one of the other main body.

[0010] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the guide block has a protruding head on one side and a recess that matches the protruding head on the other side. In two adjacent moving plates, the protruding head of one guide block can be inserted into the recess of the other guide block.

[0011] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the inner side of the transport section has a recessed guide groove along its length, and the guide block has a guide post that matches the guide groove, the guide post being embedded in the guide groove.

[0012] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the inner side of the second transport section has a recessed guide groove along its length direction, and the guide block has a guide post that matches the guide groove, the guide post being embedded in the guide groove.

[0013] In the reagent kit transfer assembly of the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the number of moving plates is several, and the several moving plates are arranged adjacent to each other along the length of the transport channel.

[0014] In the reagent kit transfer assembly of the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the turntable assembly includes a drive component and a wheel. The drive component is fixedly connected to the frame, and the wheel is connected to the drive component. The drive component can drive the wheel to rotate continuously. A friction ring is fixedly connected to the edge of the wheel, and the friction ring is located between two adjacent transport sections.

[0015] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the friction ring is arranged concentrically with the disk and the friction ring is made of rubber.

[0016] In the transfer assembly of the reagent kit in the above-mentioned biochemical analysis system, the main body, guide block, guide post one, guide post two, and protrusion are all integral structures.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the transfer component of the reagent kit in this biochemical analysis system can stably transport the moving plate located there during the continuous rotation of the turntable component. Since multiple moving plates are arranged adjacent to each other, all moving plates follow the movement of the moving plate at the component, ultimately achieving stable translation of the moving plate in the transport channel.

[0018] The reagent kit is placed on top of the mobile plate for stable delivery.

[0019] It can be seen that the turntable assembly can not only stably transport the reagent kit, but also ensure stable rotation of the reagent kit when the transport trajectory is L-shaped, further improving its stability.

[0020] In addition, the turntable assembly is located between two adjacent conveyor sections, so its structure is relatively compact and has high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may be interspersed with a component. When a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or may be interspersed with a component.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reagent kit transfer assembly in this biochemical analysis system includes a rack and a transport channel located on the rack, the transport channel including a baffle one, a baffle two, and a moving plate.

[0030] The first baffle includes a straight conveying section 1 and an arc-shaped transition section 2. The second baffle includes a straight conveying section 3. The first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 3 are arranged in parallel. The first conveying section 1, the transition section 2 and the second conveying section 3 form the aforementioned conveying channel. It also includes a turntable assembly connected to the frame. The edge of the turntable assembly is located between two adjacent second conveying sections 3. The moving plate 4 includes a flat body 4a and a guide block 4b located at the lower center of the body 4a. The two ends of the body 4a overlap the upper part of the first conveying section 1 and the upper part of the second conveying section 3, respectively. The guide block 4b is located between the first conveying section 1 and the second conveying section 3. When the moving plate 4 enters the transition section 2, one end of the body 4a overlaps the upper part of the transition section 2, and the other end of the body 4a overlaps the upper part of the turntable assembly.

[0031] The two ends of the movable plate 4 are supported on the upper parts of conveyor section 1 and conveyor section 3, respectively, while the guide block is located between conveyor section 1 and conveyor section 3. This structure can stably connect the movable plate 4 within the conveying channel. Of course, the movable plate 4a can also move stably within the conveying channel.

[0032] Specifically, when the moving plate 4a enters the transition section 2, one end of the main body 4a overlaps with the transition section 2, and the other end of the main body 4a overlaps with the turntable assembly. During the rotation of the turntable assembly, it pushes the main body 4a. Since multiple main bodies 4a are arranged adjacent to each other in the conveying channel, the turntable assembly can push multiple moving plates 4a to move stably within the conveying channel.

[0033] It can be seen that the power required for the movement of the movable plate 4 is provided by the turntable assembly. Since multiple movable plates 4 are arranged adjacent to each other, when the movable plate 4 at the turntable assembly moves, it will push the adjacent movable plates 4 to move together.

[0034] The conveying section 1 and the transition section 2 are an integral structure.

[0035] This effectively improves structural compactness.

[0036] One side of the body 4a has a convex-concave engagement portion 4a1, and the other side of the body 4a has a convex-concave engagement portion 4a2. In two adjacent movable plates 4, the engagement portion 4a2 of one body 4a can engage with the engagement portion 4a1 of the other body 4a.

[0037] In two adjacent moving plates 4, the meshing part 4a1 of one body 4a is engaged with the meshing part 4a2 of the other adjacent body 4a. This structure can ensure that all moving plates 4 can move stably and will not be deflected during the movement.

[0038] The guide block 4b has a protruding head 4b1 on one side and a recess 4b2 on the other side that matches the protruding head 4b1. In two adjacent movable plates 4, the protruding head 4b1 of one guide block 4b can be inserted into the recess 4b2 of the other guide block 4b.

[0039] In two adjacent moving plates 4, the protrusion 4b1 of one guide block 4b is embedded in the recess 4b2 of the other adjacent body 4a. This structure can further ensure that all moving plates 4 can move stably and will not cause any offset during the movement.

[0040] The inner side of the conveying section 1 has a recessed guide groove 1a along its length direction, and the guide block 4b has a guide post 4b3 that matches the guide groove 1a. The guide post 4b3 is embedded in the guide groove 1a.

[0041] The inner side of the conveying section 2 3 has a recessed guide groove 2 3a along its length direction, and the guide block 4b has a guide post 2 4b4 that matches the guide groove 2 3a. The guide post 2 4b4 is embedded in the guide groove 2 3a.

[0042] The guide block 4b has protruding guide post 1 4b3 and guide post 2 4b4 on both sides. Since guide post 1 4b3 is embedded in guide groove 1a and guide post 2 4b4 is embedded in guide groove 2 3a, the entire moving plate 4 can move more stably along the conveying channel.

[0043] The number of movable plates 4 is several pieces, and the several movable plates 4 are arranged adjacent to each other along the length of the conveying channel.

[0044] When the movable plate 4 at the turntable assembly is pushed, since several movable plates 4 are arranged adjacent to each other, all the movable plates 4 will move together.

[0045] The turntable assembly includes a drive component 5 and a wheel 6. The drive component 5 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the wheel 6 is connected to the drive component 5. The drive component 5 can drive the wheel 6 to rotate continuously. A friction ring 7 is fixedly connected to the edge of the wheel 6, and the friction ring 7 is located between two adjacent conveying sections 3.

[0046] The driving component 5 is a motor. As the motor drives the wheel 6 to rotate continuously, it enables the moving plate 4 to move stably within the conveying channel.

[0047] The friction ring 7 is arranged concentrically with the wheel 6 and is made of rubber.

[0048] Because the friction ring 7 is made of rubber material with relatively high frictional resistance, there is relatively high frictional resistance between the friction ring 7 and the end of the body 4a of the moving plate 4. Therefore, as the wheel 6 rotates, the friction ring 7 will drive the moving plate 4 to move smoothly in the conveying channel.

[0049] The main body 4a, guide block 4b, guide post one 4b3, guide post two 4b4 and protrusion 4b1 are all integral structures.

[0050] This effectively improves the structural compactness of the movable plate 4. Of course, the entire movable plate 4 is made of plastic, and existing injection molding processes allow it to be molded in one piece.

[0051] In this biochemical analysis system, the transfer component of the reagent kit can stably transport the moving plate located there during the continuous rotation of the turntable assembly. Since multiple moving plates are arranged adjacently, all moving plates follow the movement of the moving plate at the component, ultimately achieving stable translation of the moving plate in the transport channel.

[0052] The support surface at the bottom of the reagent kit rests on the upper part of the moving plate, allowing for stable delivery of the reagent kit. Naturally, the reagent kit moves at a relatively slow speed during delivery to effectively prevent it from slipping off the plate due to excessive speed. In this embodiment, the reagent kit moves at a speed of 1 meter per minute.

[0053] As can be seen, the turntable assembly not only provides stable delivery of the reagent kits, but also ensures stable rotation of the kits at the L-shaped bend when the delivery trajectory is L-shaped, further improving its stability. Of course, because the moving plate moves relatively slowly, the reagent kits on the moving plate move with it, effectively preventing them from slipping when the moving plate turns.

[0054] In addition, the turntable assembly is located between two adjacent conveyor sections, so its structure is relatively compact and has high practical value.

[0055] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
