Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present utility model will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present utility model, but not all embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1, a test tube feeding cup is provided at the discharge end of a plurality of guide grooves 101 arranged side by side in the prior art (the disclosure in patent publication No. CN 104943926B), and a test tube output assembly in the prior art can be provided in the guide groove 101, so that each guide groove 101 can perform a single tube blanking operation. Since the cap 32 provided at the upper end of the test tube 3 in the prior art is positioned at a lower position than the tube body 31, the test tube 3 discharged in the guide groove 101 is discharged in an inclined manner after being guided out of the guide groove 101 even if the outlet of the guide groove 101 is vertically positioned. In the prior art, because the number of the guide grooves 101 is small, the test tube 1 can enter the labeling mechanism in the vertical direction only by arranging a simple structure matched with the guide grooves in the prior art.

However, when the number of the guide grooves 101 provided side by side is large, the above-described structure will not be applicable. For this reason, the utility model provides that the test tube 3 fed from each guide groove 101 can enter the labeling mechanism in a vertical direction, and as shown in fig. 2-5, the test tube feeding cup 1 of the utility model comprises a guide groove 13 provided with a cavity through structure 18, and a guide channel 17 communicated with the cavity through structure 18 is arranged on the side wall of the guide groove 13. When the test tube feeding device is used, the guide groove 13 is vertically arranged along the through cavity direction, the guide channel 17 can enable the guide groove 13 to be of a through groove structure, the notch of the guide groove 13 which is the guide groove 13 is not communicated with the lower opening end of the guide groove 13, the test tube 3 can pass through the guide channel 17 and finally enter the through cavity structure 18, and the test tube 3 is finally fed from the lower opening end of the guide groove 13, so that whether the notch of the guide groove 13 is communicated with the lower opening end of the guide groove 13 can be set according to actual requirements.

In order to achieve the corresponding effect between the guide channel 17 and the through cavity structure 18, the guide channel 13 is of a through channel structure, guide blocks 15 protruding inwards and extending along the length direction of the guide channel 13 are respectively arranged on two side walls of the guide channel 13, the space between the two guide blocks 15 forms the guide channel 17, and the through cavity structure 18 is formed between the inner bottom of the guide channel 13 and the two guide blocks 15.

The utility model is used when: because the structure specificity of test tube 3 comprises tube cap 32 and body 31 that the external diameter is different, the interval between two guide blocks 15 that set up can be with the body 31 external diameter adaptation of test tube 3, and the body 31 of the tilting state of being convenient for passes through. Since the test tube 3 obliquely enters the guide groove 13 from the notch direction of the guide groove 13, the guide channel 17 is matched with the tube body 31, when the tube body 31 passes through the guide channel 17, the tube cap 32 of the test tube 3 passes through the upper part of the guide channel 17 and contacts with the bottom of the guide groove 13 before the tube body 31 of the test tube 3 contacts with the bottom of the guide groove 13, and after the tube cap 32 is intercepted by the guide groove 13, the tube body 31 of the test tube 3 also deflects towards the tube cap 32 of the test tube 3 under the action of falling inertia until the whole test tube 3 enters the through cavity structure 18. Because the guide channel 17 comprises the space between two guide blocks 15, the width of the guide channel 17 is smaller than the width of the through cavity structure 18, then the test tube 3 entering the through cavity structure 18 can be intercepted by the guide channel 17, the inclination of the direction of the test tube 3 is avoided, the guide groove 13 can correct the direction of the inclined test tube 3, the test tube 3 can be vertically arranged in the guide groove 101, the bottom of the test tube 3 is supported by the baffle 102 below the guide groove 13, the guide groove 13 can move to the position of the blanking port 103 under the action of the driving assembly, and the test tube 3 vertically passes through the blanking port 103 to enter the labeling mechanism for labeling. Wherein, the driving component can adopt any mechanism capable of realizing reciprocating motion in the prior art; for example, in the matching mechanism of the thread bush and the screw rod, a thread bush is fixed on the guide groove 13, the thread bush is in threaded connection with the screw rod with a servo motor, the servo motor is connected with a control unit of the whole labeling machine, and the position of the guide groove 13 opposite to that of any guide groove 101 can be realized.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in order to make the cavity structure 18 more adaptive to the structure of the test tube 3, the guide groove 13 in this embodiment is a U-shaped groove structure, and the guide channel 17 is formed by expanding from the notch of the guide groove 13 to the bottom of the guide groove 13, and at the same time, the post-expanding position of the guide channel 17 coincides with the cavity structure 18. The guiding channel 17 with the structure can limit the test tube 3 which is obliquely discharged, and can prevent the test tube 3 from entering the through cavity structure 18 to incline in the direction, so that the test tube 3 which falls into the guiding groove 13 can basically keep a vertical state and move to a discharging opening on the baffle plate 102.

Because the test tube 3 falls down in-process itself and is the inclined state, and the track of falling also is the slope setting, when test tube 3 gets into guide slot 13, the tube cap 32 of test tube 3 is the slip from guide channel 17 top, in order to make test tube 3 get into logical chamber structure 18 smoothly, as shown in fig. 2, all be the inclined plane that inclines to set up by the notch of guide slot 13 to the tank bottom direction of guide slot 13 at the upper end of every guide block 15. The inclined plane is arranged to enable the test tube 3 to slide under the action of gravity, and then the test tube can smoothly enter the cavity structure 18.

As shown in fig. 2-5, in order to facilitate the blocking of the cap 32 of the test tube 3, an extension plate 12 extending outwards is disposed at the upper end of the guide groove 13 along the bottom of the groove, and a guide protrusion 11 protruding toward the notch direction of the guide groove 13 is disposed on the extension plate 12. The space in the guide slot 13 is divided into the guide channel 17 and the through cavity structure 18, so that the depth (width) of the guide slot 13 has certain requirements, the test tube 3 has the problem that the whole inclination angle of the test tube 3 is overlarge when the tube cap 32 of the test tube 3 contacts with the bottom of the guide slot 13 in the falling process, at the moment, the guide slot 13 needs to be provided with a larger space to ensure that the test tube 3 smoothly enters the through cavity structure 18 for azimuth correction, and the design size of the guide slot 13 is reduced for facilitating the whole part, so that the guide bulge 11 is arranged. The guide protrusion 11 will now contact the cap 32 of the test tube 3 and intercept the cap 32, and at this time, the inclination angle of the test tube 3 must be relatively small, so that the tube body 31 of the test tube 3 can be corrected in azimuth by slightly moving under the action of inertia, and smoothly enters the cavity structure 18, so that the receiving cup can be used in a relatively compact installation space.

In order to avoid excessive correction of the orientation of the test tube 3 (reverse offset), a projection 16 is provided in said guide groove 13, cooperating with the guide projection 11 and arranged along the length of the guide groove 13. As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 5, the projection 16 is located directly below the guide projection 11 and the distance between the end of the projection 16 and the bottom of the guide groove 13 is slightly smaller than the distance between the end of the guide projection 11 and the bottom of the guide groove 13. When the cap 32 of the test tube 3 is intercepted by the bump 16, the tube body 31 (tail end) of the test tube 3 continues to move under the action of inertia and is limited after contacting with the bump 16, and the tube body 31 is reduced in the offset angle along the vertical direction and falls into the through cavity structure 18 to be moved in a state of being kept basically vertically arranged.

In the use process, in order to avoid the condition of 'empty connection' of the test tube feeding cup 1, a mounting through hole 14 for mounting the sensor 2 can be formed on the side wall of the guide groove 13. As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, according to the length range of the test tube 3, a plurality of mounting through holes 14 are formed on both side walls of the guide groove 13, and the plurality of mounting through holes 14 are arranged in a row along the length direction of the guide groove 13. In this embodiment, the sensor 2 is a correlation infrared sensor 2, the upper, middle and lower parts of the side wall of each guide slot 13 are respectively provided with a mounting through hole 14, and the positions of the three mounting through holes 14 respectively arranged on the two side walls of the guide slot 13 are arranged in pairs, the sensor 2 arranged on the mounting through holes 14 arranged on the upper part of the guide slot 13 is mainly used for detecting whether the tube cap 32 of the test tube 3 is in place, and the sensors 2 arranged on the middle and lower parts can be arranged according to the length of the test tube 3.

The test tube feeding cup 1 provided by the utility model can correct the azimuth of the test tube 3 which is fed by the guide groove 101 in the prior art, can realize the effect of feeding by reciprocating movement of the test tube feeding cup 1 by only arranging a simple driving component and the baffle plate 102, can correct the azimuth of the test tube 3 which is fed by any guide groove 101, passes through the blanking opening 103 in a vertical feeding manner and enters the labeling mechanism, can adapt to the condition of more guide grooves 101, and can also improve the capacity of the storage rack of the whole test tube 3.
