进一步地，继续参考附图1A至图6B所述样品管准备机进一步包括一限位单元50，其中所述限位单元50包括一限位件51，其中所述限位件51能够对位于所述承接单元20的该样品管1000进行限位，以使得所述承接单元20内的该样品管1000可以准确地落入到所述标识单元30内。
所述限位件51被设置于所述承接单元20的一侧，所述承接单元20位于所述限位件51和所述传输单元10之间，并且能够在所述限位件51和所述传输单元10之间来回移动。
当一个该样品管1000位于所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200时，所述限位件51限制所述承接单元20内的该样品管1000移出所述承接单元20，直到所述承接单元20移动到适合位置。换言之，在所述承接单元20移动的过程中，所述限位件51限制该样品管1000离开所述承接单元20。
借助所述限位件51，所述承接单元20能够携带该样品管1000移动，并且在所述承接单元20移动至预设位置后，所述限位件51允许该样品管1000自动离开所述承接单元20以进入到所述标识单元30。
详细地说，所述限位件51具有一限位开口510，其中所述限位开口510被对准于所述标识单元30，该样品管1000在通过所述限位件51的所述限位开口510后能够进入到所述标识单元30。
所述限位件51的所述限位开口510和所述标识单元30的位置保持相对固定。所述承接单元20能够被移动至对准于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510，然后所述限位件51允许该样品管1000自动离开所述承接单元20，以能够通过所述限位开口510进入到所述标识单元30。
更详细地说，所述限位件51位于所述承接单元20的一侧，并且阻止位于所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200内的该样品管1000自所述承接单元20的侧部离开所述承接单元20。当所述承接单元20移动到所述限位件51的所述限位开口510位置时，所述承接单元20的所述承接出口202连通于所述限位开口510，位于所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200的该样品管1000可以离开所述承接单元20以穿过所述限位件51的所述限位开口510。优选地，该样品管1000可以自动离开所述承接单元20，然后自动进入到所述标识单元30。具体地说，所述承接单元20形成有一倾斜的承接面21，所述承接面21形成于所述承接单元20的所述承接顶面22，所述承接面21被设置为自所述承接入口201一侧朝向所述 承接出口202位置朝下倾斜的。
所述承接面21不高于所述传输通道100的一支撑面111，所述支撑面111形成于所述支撑杆11的上表面，并且和水平面呈一水平角度。
该样品管1000被支撑于所述承接单元20的所述承接面21，并且具有沿着所述承接面21朝下移动的趋势，由于所述限位件51的阻挡作用，该样品管1000无法沿着所述承接面21朝向所述标识单元30移动。
随着所述承接单元20的移动，所述承接单元20的所述承接出口202移动至对准于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510，位于所述承接单元20的该样品管1000不会被所述限位件51所阻挡，从而能够在重力作用下自动地朝向所述标识单元30移动。
进一步地，所述限位单元50还包括一传输件52，其中所述传输件52被设置于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510附近。
所述传输件52用于传输该样品管1000至所述标识单元30。所述传输件52具有一传输腔520，其中所述传输腔520被连通于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510并且所述传输腔520被对准于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510，以使得该样品管1000通过所述限位开口510后能够自动进入到所述传输件52的所述传输腔520。
具体地说，所述传输件52包括一围壁521，其中所述围壁521位于所述限位开口510的一侧，并且连接于所述限位件51。所述围壁521围绕形成所述传输腔520。
所述传输件52的所述传输腔520能够连通于所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200，并且当所述承接单元20被对准于所述限位开口510时，所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200对准并且连通于所述传输件52的所述传输腔520，该样品管1000能够在重力作用下自动落入所述传输件52的所述传输腔520。所述传输件52的所述传输腔520被连通于所述标识单元30，该样品管1000通过所述传输腔520达到所述标识单元30。
进一步地，在本实施例中，所述传输件52位于所述承接单元20的一侧，当该样品管1000位于所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200，该样品管1000具有朝下并且朝前移动的趋势。
详细地说，所述承接单元20具有一承接高端和对应于所述承接高端的一承 接低端，其中所述承接高端靠近于所述传输单元10，所述承接低端靠近于所述限位件51和所述传输件52。
换句话说，所述传输件52位于所述承接单元20的所述承接低端一侧，由于倾斜的所述承接面21，该样品管1000能够在不被阻挡的情况下自动自所述承接高端移动至所述承接低端，并且还有继续朝下移动的趋势。
值得注意的是，该样品管1000在所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200时，不仅具有朝下移动的趋势，还具有朝前移动的趋势。换句话说，该样品管1000不仅具有在竖直方向移动的趋势，还具有在水平方向移动的趋势。
位于该样品管1000前方的所述传输件52的所述围壁521能够对于该样品管1000在水平方向的移动起到一定的阻挡作用，以使得该样品管1000能够朝前或者是朝下移动一定的距离，然后进入到所述传输件52的所述传输腔520。
进一步地，所述传输件52的所述围壁521包括一前壁5211和两个侧壁5212，其中所述前壁5211和两个所述侧壁5212围绕形成所述传输腔520，其中所述前壁5211位于该样品管1000朝前移动的方向，两个所述前壁5211被面对面设置，并且位于所述前壁5211的两侧。两个所述侧壁5212并没有合拢以使所述传输腔520能够连通于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510。
所述前壁5211能够阻挡该样品管1000朝前继续运动，从而使得该样品管1000能够落入所述传输件52的所述传输腔520，以沿着所述传输腔520在重力作用下朝下移动至所述标识单元30。
所述传输件52可以形成有一引导壁522，其中所述引导壁522被设置为自所述侧壁5212朝上并且朝外延伸而成。当该样品管1000自所述承接单元20的所述承接通道200朝向所述传输件52移动，该样品管1000能够在移动过程中和所述传输件52发生碰撞，所述引导壁522能够对于该样品管1000起到承托作用，以使得该样品管1000能够顺利地进入到所述传输件52的所述传输腔520。
详细地说，当该样品管1000被承托于所述引导壁522，由于所述引导壁522的倾斜，该样品管1000沿着所述引导壁522自然地朝向所述传输腔520移动而不会保持在所述传输件52位置。
所述引导壁522所在的位置低于所述承接单元20的所述承接面21所在位置，以使得该样品管1000能够落入到所述传输件52的所述传输腔520。
所述传输件52的所述围壁521的所述前壁5211高于所述引导壁522，以对 于该样品管1000进行阻挡，避免该样品管1000挂持于所述前壁5211位置。
值得注意的是，在本实施例中，所述传输件52位于所述承接单元20的一侧，所述标识单元30位于所述传输件52的下方。
在本发明的另一些实施例中，所述传输件52可以位于所述承接单元20的下方，所述标识单元30可以位于所述传输件52的一侧，或者是不需要所述传输件52，该样品管1000直接从所述承接单元20进入到所述标识单元30。
进一步地，所述限位件51具有一定的长度，比如说所述限位件51的长度和所述传输单元10的所述传输通道100的数目相互匹配，以使得当所述承接单元20被对准于每一个所述传输通道100以承接该样品管1000时，所述限位件51可以对于所述承接单元20内的该样品管1000起到阻挡作用，直到所述承接单元20移动到所述承接通道200被对准于所述限位件51的所述限位开口510。
所述限位件51还可以形成一观察口，其中所述观察口沿着所述限位件51的长度方向延伸。通过所述观察口，用户可以观察到被所述限位件51阻挡的位于所述承接单元20内的该样品管1000的形态。
着重参考附图6A和图6B所示，是所述样品管准备机的工作流程被阐明。所述样品管准备机进一步包括一操作单元60，其中所述阻挡单元40被可操作地连接于所述操作单元60。所述操作单元60能够操作所述阻挡单元40在所述打开状态和所述阻挡状态之间变换。
具体地说，所述阻挡单元40包括至少一可活动阻挡件41，其中所述可活动阻挡件41被设置于所述传输单元10。所述可活动阻挡件41能够在所述操作单元60的操作下移动，以在所述打开状态和所述阻挡状态之间切换。
所述可活动阻挡件41被可转动地连接于所述传输单元10，比如说所述可活动阻挡件41被可枢转地连接于所述传输单元10。
在所述阻挡状态，所述可活动阻挡件41伸出于所述传输通道100，以阻挡位于所述传输通道100的该样品管1000的下落，在所述打开状态，所述可活动阻挡件41的至少部分离开所述传输通道100或者是所述可活动阻挡件41的至少部分变为靠近于所述支撑杆11以减少对于所述传输通道100的占据，从而使得该样品管1000能够通过所述传输通道100。
在本实施例中，由于所述可活动阻挡件41被可枢转地连接于所述传输单元10的所述支撑杆11，在所述阻挡状态被切换为所述打开状态的过程中，所述可 活动阻挡件41被可绕第一轴线A转动地朝向所述支撑杆11转动以避让该样品管1000，从而使得该样品管1000可以朝前移动以离开所述传输通道100。
值得注意的是，所述可活动阻挡件41在切换至所述打开状态后，被所述可活动阻挡件41直接阻挡的该样品管1000可以自动离开所述传输通道100，后一个该样品管1000仍然被处于所述打开状态的所述可活动阻挡件41阻挡，从而无法离开所述传输通道100。
换句话说，在本实施例中，所述可活动阻挡件41能够控制该样品管1000逐个通过所述传输通道100。所述可活动阻挡件41可以控制该样品管1000通过所述传输通道100的频率。
具体地说，所述可活动阻挡件41包括一前阻挡臂411和被连接于所述前阻挡臂411的一后阻挡臂412，其中所述前阻挡臂411和所述后阻挡臂412被同步可枢转连接于所述传输单元10的所述支撑杆11。
比如说所述支撑杆11被设置有一连接轴111，其中所述可活动阻挡件41被可转动地连接于所述连接轴111，所述前阻挡臂411和所述后阻挡臂412被同步可枢转地连接于所述支撑杆11。
在本实施例中，所述第一轴线A自上而下穿过所述可活动阻挡件41和所述支撑杆11。
所述前阻挡臂411和所述后阻挡臂412之间具有一定的角度。当处于所述阻挡状态，所述前阻挡臂411伸出于所述传输通道100以阻挡该样品管1000，所述后阻挡臂412位于所述前阻挡臂411的后方，所述后阻挡臂412靠近于所述支撑杆11并且没有对于后一个该样品管1000起到阻挡作用。值得注意的是，此处的前后是相对于该样品管1000的运动方向而言的。
当处于所述打开状态，所述前阻挡臂411绕所述第一轴线A朝向所述支撑杆11转动以避让该样品管1000，所述后阻挡臂412朝向远离所述支撑杆11的方向转动以阻挡后一个所述样品管。也就是说，所述可活动阻挡件41绕所述第一轴线A转动以切换状态时，所述可活动阻挡件41的所述前阻挡臂411和所述后阻挡臂412的移动方向相反。
在所述前阻挡臂411不对于前一个该样品管1000起到阻挡作用时，所述后阻挡臂412仍然可以对于后一个该样品管1000起到阻挡作用。
在所述前阻挡臂411对于前一个该样品管1000起到阻挡作用时，所述后阻 挡臂412对于后一个该样品管1000不起到阻挡作用。
值得注意的是，所述操作单元60可以驱动所述阻挡单元40自所述阻挡状态切换至所述打开状态。
所述阻挡单元40可以自动从所述打开状态切换为所述阻挡状态。
具体地说，所述阻挡单元40进一步包括一弹性件42，其中所述弹性件42被分别连接于所述传输单元10和所述可活动阻挡件41，当所述可活动阻挡件41处于所述打开状态，所述弹性件42形变以使得所述可活动阻挡件41具有恢复到所述阻挡状态的趋势。
因此，当所述操作单元60施加作用力于所述可活动阻挡件41，以使得所述可活动阻挡件41自所述阻挡状态处于所述打开状态，所述弹性件42形变。当所述操作单元60撤回施加于所述可活动阻挡件41的作用力，所述可活动阻挡件41在所述弹性件42的作用下自动恢复到所述阻挡状态。在这个过程中，在所述打开状态被所述可活动阻挡件41阻挡的后一个该样品管1000移动在前一个该样品管1000所处的位置以被处于所述阻挡状态的所述可活动阻挡件41阻挡。前一个该样品管1000落入到所述承接单元20。
在本实施例中，所述操作单元60被可联动地连接于所述承接单元20。也就是说，所述承接单元20和所述操作单元60一同移动以对准于不同的所述传输通道100。
具体地说，所述样品管准备机还可以包括一轨道单元70和一驱动单元80，其中所述轨道单元70包括一轨道71和一滑块72，其中所述承接单元20和所述操作单元60被分别安装于所述滑块72，所述滑块72支撑于所述承接单元20和所述操作单元60沿着所述轨道71移动以相对于所述传输单元10的各个所述传输通道100移动，所述承接单元20和/或所述操作单元60被可驱动地连接于所述驱动单元80以沿着所述轨道71移动。
所述可活动阻挡件41的数目可以是多个，比如说对于一个所述传输通道100而言，一个所述可活动阻挡件41可以被设置于一个所述支撑杆11，另一个所述可活动阻挡件41可以被设置于相邻的另一个所述支撑杆11。
对于一个所述支撑杆11而言，所述支撑杆11可以被安装有两个所述可活动阻挡件41，其中所述可活动阻挡件41被安装于同一个所述连接轴111，并且可以共同一个所述弹性件42。
对于一个该样品管1000而言，该样品管1000在左右两侧分别被一个所述可活动阻挡件41阻挡。当该样品管1000需要离开所述传输通道100，所述操作单元60移动至所述传输通道100并且朝后推动两个所述可活动阻挡件41，以使得所述阻挡单元40从所述阻挡状态切换至所述打开状态。
值得注意的是，所述可活动阻挡件41的所述前阻挡臂411具有一定的高度，以使得至少部分所述前阻挡臂411高出于该样品管1000，从而为所述操作单元60提供可施加作用力的区域。
所述操作单元60所在位置高于该样品管1000，高于所述承接单元20，以使得所述操作单元60的操作不会对于该样品管1000的移动造成影响。
可选地，所述可活动阻挡件41被对称地设置于所述传输通道100的两侧。
进一步地，所述样品管准备机包括一检测单元90，其中所述检测单元90用于检测该样品管1000的状态。所述检测单元90包括一操作检测模块91和一报错检测模块92，其中所述操作检测模块91被设置于所述操作单元60或者是所述承接单元20，所述操作检测模块91用于检测所述传输通道100的该样品管1000的位置，以使得所述承接单元20能够基于所述操作检测模块91获得的数据移动至对准于所述传输通道100，以使得所述操作单元60能够基于所述操作检测模块91获得的数据移动至所述传输通道100对应的所述阻挡单元40，以在后续的步骤中对于所述阻挡单元40进行操作。
所述报错检测模块92被设置于所述承接单元20或者所述限位单元50的所述限位件51或者所述传输件52。
所述报错检测模块92用于检测该样品管1000是否落入所述承接单元20，或者是该样品管1000是否自所述承接单元20离开以落入所述传输件52。
可以理解的是，所述操作检测模块91和所述报错检测模块92分别可以包括至少一个检测器，所述检测器的类型可以是多样的。
所述样品管准备机进一步包括一报错单元93，当基于所述报错检测模块92检测到的信息，发现该样品管1000没有按照预期前进至所述标识单元30，所述报错单元93将发出一报错信号以提示用户。

所述标识单元30可以通过一打印机将纸质标签贴附于该样品管1000。当然，本领域技术人员应当理解的是，所述标识单元30也可以通过雕刻、涂覆等方式对于该样品管1000进行标识。
标签的方式可以是但是并不限制于记载了明文信息的纸质标签、二维码标签、条形码标或者是芯片标签。
当该样品管1000在所述标识通道300内标识完毕，该样品管1000可以在重力作用下自动下落以离开所述标识单元30。在这之前，该样品管1000可以被暂时截留于所述标识通道300，比如说通过在该样品管1000的下方设置一个可活动挡板的方式。
当该样品管1000的数目是多个，类型不一时，所述样品管准备机可以通过以下两种方式工作。
第一种工作方式是将该样品管1000根据样品管的类型不同实现分类，比如说用于检测项目A的该样品管1000的该管帽1002的颜色为红色，用于检测项目B的该样品管1000的该管帽1002颜色为绿色。那么在放置该样品管1000时，就根据该管帽1002颜色的不同将属于同一种颜色的该样品管1000放置在一个所述传输通道100。所述承接单元20可以是将位于同一个所述传输通道100的该样品管1000传输完毕后，然后移动到对准于另一个所述传输通道100。所述承接单元20也可以是承接一个所述传输通道100的一个该样品管1000后，移动到对准于另一个所述传输通道100，以承接另一个传输通道100的一个该样品管1000。
第二种工作方式是直接将不同类型的该样品管1000任意地放置在所述传输通道100。所述检测单元90能够对于该样品管1000的类型进行识别，所述标识单元30被可通信地连接于所述检测单元90，以基于该样品管1000类型的不同，对于该样品管1000进行不同的标识。
参考附图7所示，是根据本发明的上述较佳实施例的所述样品管准备机的另一种应用方式被阐明。
所述样品管准备机进一步具有一快速通道400，其中所述快速通道400被直 接连通于所述标识单元30的所述标识通道300。
用户在需要准备该样品管1000时，不需要从所述传输单元10传输该样品管1000，而是可以从所述快速通道400投入该样品管1000，以使得该样品管1000直接通过所述快速通道400后到达所述标识通道300。具体地说，所述快速通道400位于所述传输件52的上方，所述快速通道400被可连通地连接于所述传输件52的所述传输通道520。
在本发明的另一些实施例中，所述快速通道400的下方直接就是所述标识单元30。具体地说，在一般情况下，该样品管1000需要从所述传输单元10经过所述承接单元20，然后进入到所述标识单元30。因此所述快速通道400一般情况下没有被对准于所述标识单元30的所述标识通道300。在使用所述快速通道400时，所述快速通道400需要先被对准于所述标识单元30的所述标识通道300。
可选地，在本实施例中，所述标识单元30的所述标识通道300位于竖直方向，所述快速通道400位于竖直方向并且能够被对准于所述标识通道300。
