For example, when this is changed to another storage medium such as a wireless tag, the barcode reader E1 Of course, the control device E can be appropriately changed according to the type of the storage medium.
In this way, the type of blood collection tube to be accommodated in the blood collection tube accommodating unit 1 is registered in the storage means of the control device E in advance, and the barcode displayed in advance on the outer box of the blood collection tube to be replenished is read by the barcode reader. And the control device E performs collation to release only the lock mechanism 9 of the blood collection tube storage unit 1 that stores the same type of blood collection tube as the type of blood collection tube included in the barcode information of the outer box. By doing so, the user does not put an incorrect blood collection tube into the blood collection tube storage unit 1.
In addition, when the lock is released, the blood collection tube storage unit 1 is configured to be pushed out a little by the action of the push pin 9b, so that the user can know at a glance which blood collection tube storage unit 1 should be supplemented with the blood collection tube. Therefore, the replenishment work becomes very easy.

As shown in FIG. 4, the blood collection tube storage unit 1 configured as described above is arranged substantially horizontally in an eight-tiered manner.
A blood collection tube transfer conveyor 10 extending in the vertical direction is provided in front of the blood collection tube storage unit 1. The blood collection tube transfer conveyor 10 is provided with a large number of blood collection tube receiving bases 10a at equal intervals (only a part is shown in FIG. 4).
When the control device E drives the motor 2 of the blood collection tube storage unit 1 that stores blood collection tubes necessary for patient examination and rotates the conveyor 1c, the blood collection tube a is directly on the blood collection tube receiving table 10a from the conveyor 1c. Delivered.

(See FIG. 4 and FIG. 7).
The direction detection sensor 11b is disposed above the standby roll 11a. The sensor 11b detects the direction of the blood collection tube a on the standby roll 11a and sends the information to the printer 11c.
The printer 11c prints necessary information on the label in accordance with the direction of the blood collection tube a based on the information input from the sensor 11b. Based on information from the control device E, information necessary for blood collection of the patient is printed on the label in characters and barcode.
On the other hand, after the direction of the blood collection tube a is detected by the sensor 11b, the standby roll 11a rotates, and the blood collection tube a is dropped from the standby roll 11a onto the pressurization table 11g. The blood collection tube a is supported at three points by a pressure table 11g, a sticking roller 11f, and an auxiliary roller 11h (see FIG. 7A).
In this state, the sticking roller 11f rotates, whereby the blood collection tube a rotates, and the printed label is attached to the surface of the blood collection tube a.
When the application of the label is completed, the pressure table 11g is lowered, and the blood collection tube a is dropped on the discharge conveyor 14 below the pressure table 11g (see FIG. 7C).
The blood collection tube a dropped on the discharge conveyor 14 is transferred to the blood collection tube recovery device D via the discharge conveyors of the adjacent blood collection tube preparation devices B and C.

Next, the configuration of the blood collection tube preparation devices B and C will be described. Since the blood collection tube preparation devices B and C have the same configuration, only the configuration of the blood collection tube preparation device B will be described here.
FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the blood collection tube preparation apparatus B.
As shown in FIG. 8, the blood collection tube preparation apparatus B includes four blood collection tube storage portions 20.
The four blood collection tube storage portions 20 are stored obliquely so that the front is lowered downward. Extruding means 21 is provided at a position corresponding to the frontmost part of the accommodated blood collection tube accommodating portion 20. The pushing means 21 enters the blood collection tube storage portion 20 through an opening formed in the bottom surface of the blood collection tube storage portion 20, and pushes the blood collection tube located at the foremost portion above the blood collection tube storage portion 20, Supply to the standby roll 22.
The four blood collection tube storage portions 20 are arranged in a stacked manner, and a blood collection tube transfer conveyor 23 extending in the vertical direction is provided in front of the four blood collection tube storage portions 20. The blood collection tube transfer conveyor 23 is provided with a blood collection tube receiving table 23a.
When the control device E drives the standby roll 22 corresponding to the blood collection tube storage unit 20 that stores the blood collection tube necessary for the examination of the patient, the standby roll 22 rotates and the blood collection tube is delivered to the blood collection tube receiving table 23a. .
The blood collection tube transfer conveyor 23 transfers the received blood collection tubes to a label printing / sticking means 24 disposed above the conveyor 23.
The label printing / sticking means 24 includes a standby roll 24a, a direction detection sensor 24b, a printer 24c, a label-attached mount supply roller 24d, a mount collecting roller 24e, a sticking roller 24f, a pressurizing stand 24g, an auxiliary roller 24h, and a peeling plate (no symbol). ).
Since the operation of the label printing / sticking means 24 is the same as that of the label printing / sticking means 11 described above, a detailed description thereof is omitted here.
The labeled blood collection tube a is dropped onto the discharge conveyor 27 located below the label printing / sticking means 24 and transferred to the blood collection tube recovery device D via the discharge conveyor of the adjacent blood collection tube preparation device C. .

Next, the configuration of the blood collection tube collection device D arranged side by side with the above-described blood collection tube preparation devices A to C will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blood collection tube collection device D is provided with a collection conveyor 30 that is connected in line with the discharge conveyor of the blood collection tube preparation device when arranged side by side with the blood collection tube preparation device.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, the collection conveyor 30 is driven by a motor 31, and a blood collection tube delivery roller 32 is disposed below the collection conveyor 30.
The blood collection tube a on the conveyor 30 moves along the guide 30a provided on the conveyor 30 and is disposed from the side of the conveyor 30 directly above the tray T functioning as a blood collection tube collection unit. It falls on the delivery roller 32.
The blood collection tube delivery roller 32 is configured such that when the blood collection tube a falls from the conveyor 30, the blood collection tube receiving groove 32a is displaced from the dropping position of the blood collection tube a. As a result, the blood collection tube a falling from the conveyor 30 is received by the surface of the blood collection tube delivery roller 32.
In this state, the blood collection tube a is rotated by rotating the blood collection tube delivery roller 32 left and right so that the blood collection tube a does not enter the blood collection tube receiving groove 32a. 33 reads the barcode on the label attached to the blood collection tube a. The surface of the blood collection tube delivery roller 32 can be preferably formed of a material having a high frictional resistance, such as rubber, so that the blood collection tube a can be easily rotated.
The bar code reader 33 sends the read information to the control device E, and the control device E reads the information read by the bar code reader 33 and information related to the examination of the patient output to the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C (that is, a doctor). Order information).
If there is no problem as a result of the collation, the control device E rotates the blood collection tube delivery roller 32 in a predetermined direction, puts the blood collection tube a in the blood collection tube receiving groove 32a of the blood collection tube delivery roller 32, and collects the blood. The blood vessel a is dropped onto the tray T located immediately below it.
If there is a problem as a result of the collation, that is, if the information read by the barcode reader 33 does not match the order information from the doctor, the control device E stops the processing of the entire system and prompts the user. A warning is given that the wrong blood collection tube a has been discharged. This warning method may be, for example, using a buzzer, a lamp, or displaying that fact.
Thus, not only the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C are operated by the control device E based on the order from the doctor, but also immediately before the blood collection tube a processed by the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C is placed in the tray T ( In this embodiment, by comparing with the order information from the doctor just above the tray T, there is a mistake in processing by the blood collection tube preparation apparatuses A to C and an error in putting the blood collection tube a after processing into the tray T. It can be completely prevented and more accurate preparation of blood collection tubes becomes possible.
Further, after the labeling, the blood collection tube a is transported to a position just above the tray T in the state where it is placed in the blood collection tube receiving groove 32a of the blood collection tube delivery roller 32, and placed in the tray T. The problem of the blood collection tube a jumping at T and the blood collection tube a jumping out of the tray T does not occur.

When the blood collection tube a for one patient is accommodated in the tray T, the tray T is transferred to the blood collection instruction issuing device 35 by the tray transfer conveyor 34, and at the same time, an empty tray T is removed from the empty tray accommodating portion D1. It is carried to just below the blood collection tube delivery roller 32.
Based on the information from the control device E, the blood collection instruction issuance device 35 prints and discharges the blood collection instruction S (and a manually attached label if necessary). In addition to information about the patient, information necessary for blood collection of the patient is printed in characters and a barcode on the blood collection instruction S (and a label attached by hand if necessary).
A barcode reader 36 is disposed above the instruction sheet discharge unit 35a in the blood collection instruction issuing device 35. The barcode reader 36 is provided with a blood collection instruction S (and necessary if necessary) output from the blood collection instruction issuing device 35. Read the barcode printed on the hand-applied label accordingly.
The barcode reader 36 sends the read information to the control device E, and the control device E reads the information read by the barcode reader 36 and information related to the examination of the patient output to the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C (ie, from the doctor). Order information).
If there is no problem as a result of the collation, the control device E permits the blood collection instruction issuing device 35 to continue the process, and the blood collection instruction issuing device 35 cuts the output blood collection instruction S with a cutter (not shown). Then, it is discharged onto the instruction sheet receiving stand 37.
If there is a problem as a result of the collation, that is, if the information read by the barcode reader 36 does not match the order information from the doctor, the control device E stops the processing of the entire system and prompts the user. Warning that the wrong blood collection tube has been discharged.
The above-described process is repeated until all hand-pasted labels are issued when hand-pasted labels are required.
In this manner, not only the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C are operated by the control device E based on the order from the doctor, but also immediately before the blood collection instruction (and the hand-pasted label if necessary) is placed in the tray T, By collating the order information from the doctor with the contents of the blood collection instruction (and hand-pasted label if necessary), it is possible to completely prevent misprinting by the instruction issuance device, and more accurately prepare blood collection tubes become.

The instruction sheet receiving stand 37 is disposed right above the tray T. The instruction sheet receiving stand 37 is formed of a comb-like plate member as shown in FIG. 9 and is configured to be moved back and forth along the frame 39 by a rack and pinion mechanism 38. A restriction plate 40 is provided on the frame 39.
The instruction sheet receiving stand 37 configured as described above is positioned at the forefront before the instruction sheet is issued (see FIGS. 10A1 and 10A2).
Then, after the blood collection instruction issuance device 35 discharges the blood collection instruction S (and a label attached by hand if necessary) onto the instruction reception stand 37 (see FIGS. 10 (b1) and (b2)), the rack and pinion It is moved backward along the frame 39 by the mechanism 38. While the blood collection instruction sheet receiving table 37 is moving backward, the blood collection instruction sheet S (and the hand-pasted label as necessary) is restricted from moving backward by the restriction plate 40 (FIGS. 10 (c1) and (c2)). Reference), by moving the instruction sheet receiving table 37 further rearward, the instruction sheet receiving table 37 disappears from the lower side of the blood collecting instruction sheet S (and the hand-pasted label if necessary), and the blood collecting instruction sheet S is used as the instruction sheet receiving table. It is released from 37 and falls into the tray T located directly below (see FIGS. 10 (d1) and (d2)).
In this way, blood is not collected directly from the blood collection instruction issuance device 35 into the tray T, but the blood is collected at the instruction receiving stand 37 provided directly above the tray T. After receiving the instruction sheet S (and hand-pasted label if necessary), the instruction sheet receiving table 37 is lowered to release the blood collection instruction sheet S from the instruction sheet receiving table 37 and dropped onto the tray T. By configuring, it is possible to reliably drop the blood collection instruction S (and a manual label if necessary) into the tray T, and the blood collection instruction S (and a manual label if necessary). Will not tip over in Tray T. Further, the blood collection instruction S (and the hand-pasted label if necessary) is dropped at the same position for every tray T. Thereby, the problem that the blood collection instruction S issued from the blood collection instruction issuance device 35 (and the hand-pasted label if necessary) does not enter the tray T as planned is solved. Since the blood collection instruction S (and the hand-pasted label if necessary) is always placed in the same position and face up, the blood collection operator can easily handle the blood collection instruction.
The tray T on which the blood collection instruction S (and the hand-pasted label if necessary) is placed is extruded onto the processed tray transfer conveyor 50 and stored in the processed tray storage portion D2 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). ).

Finally, the operation of the entire blood collection tube automatic preparation system configured as described above will be briefly described.
This automatic blood collection tube preparation system is controlled by the control device E based on blood collection order information from a doctor.
The control device E stores in advance the types of blood collection tubes stored in the blood collection tube storage units 1 and 20 of the blood collection tube preparation devices A to C, and when receiving blood collection order information from a doctor, The blood collection tube preparation apparatuses A to C that house the blood collection tube a necessary for the examination are operated.
The necessary blood collection tube a is taken out from the blood collection tube storage unit 1 or 20 of the blood collection tube preparation apparatus A to C which accommodates the blood collection tube a necessary for the examination of the patient, and the label collection of the blood collection tube preparation apparatuses A to C is performed.・ Send to pasting means.
In the label printing / pasting means, information on the patient and information on blood collection of the patient are printed on the label in the form of characters and barcodes, and then the printed label is pasted on the transported blood collection tube a. 14 and 27 are transferred to the blood collection tube collecting device D.
In the blood collection tube collection device D, the barcode barcode attached to the transported blood collection tube a is read by the barcode reader 33 immediately before being put into the tray T, and the read information is read from the doctor by the control device E. Matched with order information.
The blood collection tube a that has been verified is put into the tray T via the blood collection tube delivery roller 32.
The above process is repeated until all the blood collection tubes a necessary for one patient are placed in the tray T. After all the blood collection tubes a necessary for the patient are placed in the tray T, the tray T issues a blood collection instruction. It is transferred to the device 35.
The blood collection instruction issuance device 35 receives blood collection order information from the control device E, and based on the information, prints information on the patient and information on blood collection of the patient on the blood collection instruction S in the form of characters and barcodes. Output.
The barcode printed on the outputted blood collection instruction S is read by the barcode reader 36, and the read information is collated with the order information from the doctor by the control device E.
After the collation confirmation is obtained, the blood collection instruction S is disconnected from the blood collection instruction issuing device 35 and discharged onto the instruction reception stand 37. Next, the instruction reception stand 37 is moved and the blood collection instruction S is transferred to the tray T. Put in.
