It is worth mentioning that, in the application of the present invention, the property of the sample tube 100 is limited by the specimen contained in the sample tube 100. In other words, the samples contained in the sample tubes 100 are different, and the properties of the sample tubes 100 are also different.
With continued reference to fig. 1A to 5, the sorting station includes an assembly top 50, wherein the assembly top 50 is disposed on top of the supporting body 10 to allow the assembly top 50 to be held on top of the sorting space 200, wherein the sorting part 30 is suspended from the assembly top 50 to allow the sorting part 30 to be held in suspension in the sorting space 200, thus ensuring flexibility in sorting and transferring the sample tubes 100 from the sorting space 200 to the sorting part 30.
Specifically, the sorting part 30 is a robot arm having a mounting end 301 and a holding end 302 corresponding to the mounting end 301, wherein the mounting end 301 of the sorting part 30 is mounted on the assembling top 50, and the holding end 302 of the sorting part 30 is configured to hold the sample tube 100, so that the sorting part 30 can sort and transfer the sample tube 100 to different processing parts 20 in the sorting space 200.
More specifically, the sorting part 30 includes a mounting block 31, a clamping head 32 and a joint frame 33, opposite ends of the joint frame 33 are rotatably mounted to the mounting block 31 and the clamping head 32, respectively, wherein the mounting block 31 is used to form the mounting end 301, and the mounting block 31 is mounted to the assembling top 50, and correspondingly, the clamping head 32 is used to form the clamping end 302, and the clamping head 32 is used to clamp the sample tube 100.

Alternatively, unlike the sorting station shown in fig. 1A to 5, in this modified example of the sorting station shown in fig. 6, the mounting block 31 of the sorting section 30 is mounted to the processing platform 20 to allow the sorting section 30 to be held in the sorting space 200, and the sorting section 30 to be allowed to sort and transfer the sample tubes 100 in the sorting space 200.
With continued reference to fig. 1A to 5, the sorting station further comprises an identification part 60, the identification part 60 is arranged at the gripping head 32 of the sorting part 30, wherein the identification part 60 is arranged to acquire the data related to the sample tube 100 for identifying the property of the sample tube 100, the sorting part 30 is connected to the identification part 60 for acquiring the property of the sample tube 100 from the identification part 60, and the sorting part 30 is arranged to sort and transfer the sample tube 100 to different processing parts 40 in the sorting space 200 according to the property of the sample tube 100.
