According to the embodiment of the utility model, the structural shape of the cup chamber body 110 is changed, the sensor 140 is directly arranged on the cup chamber body 110, and the two are matched with each other, so that the reaction cup is monitored from the source, and the detection precision of the reaction cup is greatly improved.

It should be noted that the type of the sensor 140 may be determined according to actual requirements, for example, an infrared correlation sensor may be adopted, which is installed on the cup chamber body 110 in pairs, one of which is a signal transmitting end, and the other of which forms a signal receiving end, when the signal transmission between the two is cut off, it may be determined that more reaction cups remain in the cup chamber structure 100, and after the signal transmission between the two is cut through, it may be determined that the remaining amount of the reaction cups in the cup chamber structure 100 is less, and at this time, related personnel may be reminded to add reaction cups.

Further, in the embodiment described above where the cup compartment wall is defined by the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 114, the third side wall 113 is disposed obliquely, and the third side wall 113 forms a cup entering inclined surface 1131 (as shown in fig. 1 and 8), and the cup entering inclined surface 1131 is connected to the guiding inclined surface 115, so that the reaction cups can better flow in the cup compartment structure 100.

In combination with the foregoing, when there are fewer reaction cups in the cup magazine structure 100, the reaction cups are gathered in the cup collecting cavity 116 through the guiding inclined plane 115, and no reaction cup is left in any place except the cup collecting cavity 116, or only reaction cups are left in a position close to the cup collecting cavity 116, and the reaction cups are located below the sensor 140, so that the sensor 140 can accurately detect the consumption of the reaction cups.

It should be noted that the size of the cup collecting cavity 116 is such that it can support the relevant person to detect that the reaction cup is consumed, and at the same time, the time taken by the reaction cup is increased, in other words, the number of the reaction cups which can be continuously conveyed and can be retained by the cup collecting cavity 116 should satisfy the corresponding buffer time, and in the buffer time, the relevant person at least needs to complete the operation of adding the reaction cup. Particularly in continuous inspection operations, the manifold chamber 116 should be designed to be appropriately large.

In addition, considering the problem that the success rate and accuracy of the cup lifting of the cup 300 may be affected when there are few reaction cups in the cup magazine structure 100, in the actual installation, the sensor 140 may be installed at a higher position, for example, at a certain distance from the cup collecting opening 117, so that the amount of the reaction cups remaining in the cup magazine structure 100 is appropriate, and the addition of the reaction cups by the operator is not delayed, and the screening action of the cup lifting of the cup 300 is not affected.

In addition, in order to further improve the monitoring effect on the reaction cups, a sensor can be further arranged on the conveying track 410, and the sensor is matched with the sensor 140 in the cup bin structure 100 to verify the mutual detection, so that the result is more reliable.

In order to form the cambered surface 4251, a layer of low-hardness material may be disposed on the inner side of the limiting structure 425, and the surface of the low-hardness material layer is the cambered surface 4251.

In another specific embodiment, the transportation rail 410 may be designed to be a clearance to enlarge the space of the buffer transition chamber 422.

It should be noted here that, in order to ensure the structural strength of the conveying track 410 and prevent the conveying of the reaction cups from being affected by the deformation of the conveying track, the conventional plate 412 is generally made of a metal material, but the friction coefficient of the metal material is relatively large, so that the reaction cups often move slowly or even get stuck when moving along the surface thereof. The plate body 412 in this embodiment adopts the mode that the low-friction guide part 413 is arranged, so that the friction force of the contact part of the plate body 412 and the reaction cup is reduced, and the reaction cup can be guided to move quickly, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the reaction cup, and meanwhile, except for the low-friction guide part 413, the rest part of the plate body 412 can still be made of a material (not limited to a metal material) with higher strength, so that the bearing capacity and the structural strength of the conveying track 410 are kept.

In other embodiments, the guide plate 4122 may be disposed inside the support plate 4121, and when it is disposed inside, it is necessary to make a sufficient space for the movement of the reaction cup, and at this time, some design of a reserved position capable of matching the shape of the guide plate 4122 may be made inside the support plate 4121, and then the guide plate 4122 is filled and mounted in the reserved position.

To achieve a fastening connection between the guide plate 4122 and the support plate 4121, the fixing of the two may be achieved by a fastening member such as a screw, an adhesive, or a combination thereof.

For example, the support plate 4121 may be provided with a first screw hole, the guide plate 4122 may be provided with a second screw hole, and the guide plate 4122 may be fixed to the support plate 4121 by the screw passing through the second screw hole and the first screw hole.

In addition to the specific shape of the guide plate 4122 described above, the guide plate 4122 may have other configurations, for example, the cross section of the guide plate 4122 may be designed to be concave so that the guide plate 4122 can be snap-fit over the top of the support plate 4121, and the stability of the guide plate 4122 on the support plate 4121 can be improved in combination with the above-described fixing.

The main function of the adjusting plate 420 is to switch the positions of the cuvettes to complete the steps of sample application, etc., and after the sample application, the cuvettes need to be further transferred, generally by using a manipulator, so that the cuvettes need to be held by the manipulator.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and 10, a protrusion 4231 is disposed on the supporting seat 423 of the adjusting plate 420, and the protrusion 4231 is located on a rotation path of the receiving cavity 421.

As can be understood from the foregoing description, when the tray 424 rotates, the reaction cups are driven to rotate, and the bottoms of the reaction cups slide along the surface of the supporting seat 423, at this time, since the protrusions 4231 are disposed on the supporting seat 423, when the receiving cavity 421 rotates to be located above the protrusions 4231, the reaction cups in the receiving cavity 421 are pushed out of the receiving cavity 421 by the protrusions 4231, so that the tops of the reaction cups are exposed, and the reaction cups can be conveniently grasped by the manipulator.

In a more specific embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the boss 4231 has an ingress end 4231a, an apex 4231b and an egress end 4231c, the ingress end 4231a is connected to the apex 4231b by a low-to-high slope, and the apex 4231b is connected to the egress end 4231c by a high-to-low slope.

When the cuvette is moved to the position of the protrusion 4231, the bottom of the cuvette enters the lead-in end 4231a, and then the cuvette moves along the inclined surface to reach the top end 4231b of the protrusion 4231, and the cuvette is moved to the sample application position while leaving a space enough to be grasped by the manipulator. The projections 4231 are designed to have inclined surfaces, so that the reaction cup can smoothly transit from the support base 423 to the top ends 4231b of the projections 4231, and the reaction cup can be prevented from being damaged.

In addition, in order to reduce damage to the reaction cup, the protrusions 4231 may be designed by selecting a suitable material such that the hardness of the surface of at least the portion of the protrusions 4231 in contact with the reaction cup is lower than that of the reaction cup, thereby effectively preventing damage to the reaction cup due to friction between the reaction cup and the protrusions 4231.

In some implementations, the boss 4231 is removably mounted to the support seat 423. Taking the example shown in fig. 4 as an example, an operation opening 4253 is formed at a position of the dial 420 corresponding to the sample application position, the operation opening 4253 may be opened on the limiting structure 425, and the protrusion 4231 may be installed in the operation opening 4253 in a push-pull manner and then assembled on the supporting seat 423.

In some embodiments, a cover plate may be further disposed at the operation opening 4253 for covering the operation opening to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the dial 420, and the cover plate may be made of a transparent material to facilitate timely observation of the condition of the cuvette being jacked up by the protrusion 4231.

The bosses 4231 are detachably arranged, so that the compatible range between the dial 420 and the reaction cups can be expanded, when the reaction cups have longer length sizes, the reaction cups can meet the space required by the grabbing of a manipulator, the bosses 4231 can be detached, and when the length sizes of the reaction cups are smaller, the bosses 4231 can be installed at corresponding positions, so that the reaction cups can be jacked up by the bosses 4231.

On the other hand, referring to fig. 10, the tray 424 has a chamfer 4211 at the inlet edge of the receiving cavity 421 to facilitate the reaction cup to smoothly transition from the conveying track 410 to the adjusting plate 420. This design, together with the solution of the buffer transition chamber 422 described in the previous embodiments, further ensures a smooth transition of the reaction cups from the transport track 410 to the transfer node between the indexing disks 420.

s200, controlling the jacking sieve cup piece to shake so as to reduce the number of the reaction cups positioned on the cup receiving positions.

In this embodiment, the number of the reaction cups located on the cup receiving position can be reduced by shaking the jacking sieve cup pieces, for example, it is ensured that only one reaction cup stays on the cup receiving position as much as possible, and the problems of cup clamping, cup bouncing and the like during the conveying process of the reaction cups are avoided.

Further, the method for controlling the shaking of the jacking sieve cup piece comprises the following steps: returning from the first designated height to a second designated height and back again to the first designated height; and/or pausing at the first specified altitude for a preset length of time.

In this embodiment, the proper first designated height is beneficial to better conveying the reaction cups, and on one hand, the reaction cups on the cup receiving positions need to be prevented from colliding with the inclined edge at the upper part of the cup passing opening to generate cup ejection; meanwhile, the cup pushing mechanism is ensured to penetrate through a reaction cup area in the cup bin, namely, a reaction cup on the cup receiving position is ensured theoretically; the first designated height is not higher than the height of the opening of the sieve cup. And the preset time can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, it will typically be less than one second. Of course, the shaking times and the shaking positions of the cup pushing mechanism can be adjusted according to actual requirements, and are not specifically limited herein.

Wherein the method further comprises: and driving the jacking sieve cup piece to ascend to a third appointed height in the cup bin structure. Specifically, the jacking sieve cup piece is driven to rise to a third designated height communicated with the sieve cup opening in the cup containing bin, and the third designated height is the height parallel to the sieve cup opening.

Furthermore, the cup pushing mechanism can be controlled in various manners, for example, when the cup pushing mechanism is driven by a stepping motor, the first height, the second height and the third height can be realized by the steps of movement, the movement time and the like of the stepping motor, and the specific implementation manner can be determined according to the actual situation, which is not further limited herein.
