为使本发明的目的、特征和有益效果能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附
图对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细说明。可以理解的是,以下所描述的具体实施方式仅仅用于解释本发明,而非是对本发明的限定。并且,可能省略不同实施例中相同、类似的部件的描述以及属于现有技术的部件、特征、效果等的描述。
此外,为了便于描述,附图中可能仅示出了与本发明相关的部分而非全部结构。并且,附图中可能使用相同、类似的附图标记指代不同实施例中相同、类似的部件。
参照图1至图20,本发明实施例提供一种加样机构100、一种加样器200、一种加样装置300、一种加样设备400和一种加样系统500。
本发明实施例的第一个方面在于,提供一种加样机构100。
具体而言,该加样机构100包括输送通道111、126和输送机构。其中,输送通道111、126具有与外部的容器211连通的输送通道第一开口111a、126a以允许容器211内的试剂进入输送通道111、126,以及与输送通道111、126的外部连通的输送通道第二开口111b以允许试剂离开输送通道111、126。输送机构设置于输送通道111、126内,并且适于被驱动以运动而将输送通道111、126内的试剂输送至输送通道第二开口111b,以及通过调节自身运动的速度以控制通过输送通道第二开口111b离开的试剂的质量流量。
参照图1至图3,在一些实施例中,输送通道111、126可以包括第一通道111,输送通道第一开口111a、126a可以包括第一通道第一开口111a,输送通道第二开口111b可以包括第一通道第二开口111b。相应地,输送机构包括设置于第一通道111内的至少一个第一螺杆112。
在具体实施中,至少一个第一螺杆112中的每一个第一螺杆112均适于被驱动以沿第一方向旋转而将第一通道111内的试剂输送至第一通道第二开口111b、以及通过调节自身的转速以控制通过第一通道第二开口111b离开的试剂的质量流量。
可以理解的是,通过调节第一螺杆112的转速,可以控制第一螺杆112在单位时间内输送的试剂的质量,从而控制试剂离开第一通道111的
质量流量。其中,试剂离开第一通道111的质量流量是指在单位时间内通过第一通道111的第一通道第二开口111b离开的试剂的质量。并且,当输出试剂的质量流量确定时,结合输出试剂的时间,即可获得输出试剂的质量。
采用上述技术方案,一方面,可以通过调节第一螺杆112的转速以控制取样试剂的质量流量,从而对试剂尤其是粉末试剂进行精确称量取样;另一方面,实现了试剂取样的自动化,从而避免了人工称量取样带来的称量误差和试剂污染。
在一些实施例中,各种试剂的质量流量与第一螺杆112的转速之间的关系可以通过实验获得。即可以在第一螺杆112的不同转速下,分别测量各种试剂的质量流量,进而获取各种试剂的质量流量与第一螺杆112的转速之间的关系。具体实验过程可以采用本领域中任意已知的常规技术手段实现,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,该加样机构100还可以包括第二通道113以及设置于第二通道113内的至少一个第二螺杆114。
具体而言,第二通道113具有与第一通道第二开口111b连通的第二通道第一开口113a以允许第一通道111内的试剂进入第二通道113、与外部连通的第二通道第二开口113b以允许试剂离开第二通道113、以及与容器211连通的第二通道第三开口113c以允许试剂离开第二通道113而回到容器211。
在具体实施中,第二螺杆114与第一螺杆112啮合传动连接,以在第一螺杆112的带动下沿第二方向旋转,而将第二通道113内的试剂输送至第二通道第二开口113b和第二通道第三开口113c。其中,第二方向与第一方向相反。
可以理解的是,通过调节第一螺杆112的转速,可以控制第一螺杆112在单位时间内输送的试剂的质量,从而控制试剂离开第一通道111而进入第二通道113的质量流量,进而可以控制试剂离开第二通道113的质量流量。其中,试剂离开第二通道113的质量流量是指在单位时间内通过
第二通道113的第二通道第二开口113b离开的试剂的质量。
采用上述技术方案,可以使第一通道111内的过多试剂进入第二通道113,并且通过第二通道113内的第二螺杆114送回至容器211内,从而避免了试剂在第一通道111内的积压、结块以及由试剂积压、结块可能带来的对第一螺杆112的旋转和转速的影响,进而使得试剂能够被顺利输出。
在一些实施例中,可以将第一通道第一开口111a设置于第一通道111的中侧部,并且与容器211连通;可以将第一通道第二开口111b设置于第一通道111的下侧部。可以将第二通道第一开口113a设置于第二通道113的下侧部,并且与第一通道第二开口111b连通;可以将第二通道第二开口113b设置于第二通道113的底端,并且与加样机构100的外部连通;可以将第二通道第三开口113c设置于第二通道113的上侧部,并且与容器211连通。
如此,可以使得过多的试剂回到容器211内,以避免试剂在加样机构100内积压,从而有利于试剂流动,进而有利于试剂通过加样机构100进行输出。
在具体实施中,第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114的螺距、直径和转速均可以基于试剂的具体情况而定制。其中,试剂的具体情况可以包括试剂的种类、试剂的粒径以及试剂的输送剂量等。
在一些实施例中,第一螺杆112与第二螺杆114之间的螺距差、直径差和转速差均大于0。如此,可以有利于试剂通过该加样机构100向外输出。
在一些实施例中,该加样机构100可以包括一个第一螺杆112和一个第二螺杆114。其中,该第一螺杆112和该第二螺杆114啮合传动连接。具体示例可参照图1和图2所示。
在另一些实施例中,该加样机构100可以包括至少二个第一螺杆112和一个第二螺杆114。其中,第二螺杆114与至少二个第一螺杆112中的一个第一螺杆112啮合传动连接。具体示例可参照图3所示,在该示例中,该加样机构100包括二个第一螺杆112和一个第二螺杆114。
在又一些实施例中,该加样机构100可以包括一个第一螺杆112和至少二个第二螺杆114。其中,第一螺杆112与至少二个第二螺杆114中的一个第二螺杆114啮合传动连接。并且至少二个第二螺杆114中的各个第二螺杆114之间同步转动连接,以通过与第一螺杆112啮合传动的第二螺杆114带动其他第二螺杆114同步转动连接。
在再一些实施例中,该加样机构100可以包括至少二个第一螺杆112和至少二个第二螺杆114。其中,至少二个第二螺杆114中的一个第二螺杆114与至少二个第一螺杆112中的一个第一螺杆112啮合传动连接,并且至少二个第二螺杆114中的各个第二螺杆114之间同步转动连接,以通过与第一螺杆112啮合传动的第二螺杆114带动其他第二螺杆114同步转动连接。
在具体实施中,同步转动的各个第二螺杆114之间可以采用本领域任意已知的方式进行连接,此处不做限定。例如,同步转动的各个第二螺杆114之间可以采用行星齿轮连接。
在一些实施例中,该加样机构100可以包括至少二个同步转动连接的第一螺杆112。
在具体实施中,同步转动的各个第一螺杆112之间可以采用本领域任意已知的方式进行连接,此处不做限定。例如,同步转动的各个第一螺杆112之间也可以采用行星齿轮连接。
如前所述,第二螺杆114与第一螺杆112啮合传动连接,并且适于在第一螺杆112的带动下沿第二方向旋转。其中,第二方向与第一螺杆112的旋转方向即第一方向相反。
参照图1至图3,在一些实施例中,啮合传动连接的第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114可以相互平行设置,并且第一螺杆112的顶端延伸至第一通道111外,第二螺杆114的顶端延伸至第二通道113外。
相应地,加样机构100包括与该第一螺杆112的顶端同轴转动连接的端面凸轮115、以及与该第二螺杆114的顶端同轴转动连接的第一齿轮116。
在具体实施中,端面凸轮115与第一齿轮116啮合传动连接。该第一螺杆112适于通过其底端被加样机构100外部的驱动机构310驱动,以使第一螺杆112沿第一方向旋转,同时带动端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转,从而带动第一齿轮116沿第二方向旋转,进而带动该第二螺杆114沿第二方向旋转。
在一些实施例中,第一方向可以是逆时针方向或者顺时针方向。相应地,第二方向可以是顺时针方向或者逆时针方向。
采用上述技术方案,通过将第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114设置为相互平行并且啮合传动连接,以使第一螺杆112在沿第一方向旋转时可带动第二螺杆114沿第二方向旋转,不但实现了给样(即试剂输出)和回样(即试剂回到容器211内)的同步进行,而且省去了用于驱动第二螺杆114的额外的驱动源、节省了产品的占用空间和成本。
可以理解的是,给样是指通过加样机构100将容器211中的试剂输出至容器211外,回样是指通过第二螺杆114将第一通道111内的试剂送回至容器211内。
在一些实施例中,本发明实施例提供的加样机构100还可以包括旋转限制机构,以限制第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114反向旋转。
参照图1至图4,在一些实施例中,该加样机构100还包括设置于第一通道111和第二通道113上方的顶盖117、以及依次位于顶盖117和端面凸轮115之间的弹性件118和凸轮配合件119。其中,弹性件118和凸轮配合件119仅适于沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向运动。
具体而言,凸轮配合件119适于在端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转时在端面凸轮115的驱动下沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向往复运动,以及在端面凸轮115沿第二方向旋转时限制端面凸轮115沿第二方向的旋转。弹性件118则适于在端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转时,在凸轮配合件119的作用下压缩以及释放压缩。
在一些实施例中,凸轮配合件119还包括设置于其侧部的导向块119c。相应地,顶盖117的侧部具有沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向延伸的导
向槽。导向槽适于接收导向块119c,并且允许导向块119c在其中沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向往复运动。
在一些实施例中,弹性件118可以包括弹簧。相应地,第一螺杆112的顶端依次穿过端面凸轮115和凸轮配合件119,并且延伸至凸轮配合件119的上方。并且,凸轮配合件119具有设置其内圈的支撑沿119d以支撑弹簧。
在具体实施中,弹簧套设于第一螺杆112的顶端外并且其两端分别与顶盖117的内端面和支撑沿119d抵接。如此,可以使得弹簧适于在凸轮配合件119沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向向上运动时被向上压缩,以及在凸轮配合件119运动至最上方时向下释放压缩而使凸轮配合件119沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向向下运动,进而使凸轮配合件119能够沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向往复运动。
参照图5和图6,在一些实施例中,端面凸轮115在其面向凸轮配合件119的一端具有一对第一斜面115a和一对第一立面115b。相应地,凸轮配合件119在其面向端面凸轮115的一端具有一对第二斜面119a和一对第二立面119b。其中,一对第一斜面115a中的两个第一斜面115a各自覆盖端面凸轮115的半圈;一对第二斜面119a中的两个第二斜面119a各自覆盖凸轮配合件119的半圈。
在一些实施例中,一对第一斜面115a中的一个第一斜面115a的高点A与另一个第一斜面115a的低点B相邻并且通过一个第一立面115b连接,同时一个第一斜面115a的低点B与另一个第一斜面115a的高点A相邻并且通过另一个第一立面115b连接。
相应地,一对第二斜面119a中的一个第二斜面119a的高点C与另一个第二斜面119a的低点D相邻并且通过一个第二立面119b连接,同时一个第二斜面119a的低点D与另一个第二斜面119a的高点C相邻并且通过另一个第二立面119b连接。
在初始状态下,第一斜面115a与第二斜面119a相对并且相接合,第一立面115b与第二立面119b相对并且相接合。并且,在第一斜面115a与
第二斜面119a相接合时,第一斜面115a的高点A与第二斜面119a的低点D相接合,第一斜面115a的低点B与第二斜面119a的高点C相接合。
当端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转时,第一立面115b会远离与其相接合的第二立面119b,第一斜面115a可相对于与其相接合的第二斜面119a旋转,并且推动凸轮配合件119沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向往复运动。同时,弹性件118在凸轮配合件119的作用下压缩以及释放压缩。
在具体实施中,当端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转半圈时,第一立面115b沿背离第二立面119b的方向转动,第一立面115b与第二立面119b相分离,第一斜面115a相对于第二斜面119a旋转,并且由第一斜面115a的高点A与第二斜面119a的低点D相接合变化为第一斜面115a的高点A与第二斜面119a的高点C相接,从而推动凸轮配合件119沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向向上运动,同时弹性件18在凸轮配合件119的推动下被向上压缩。
在具体实施中,当第一斜面115a的高点A与第二斜面119a的低点D相接合变化为第一斜面115a的高点A与第二斜面119a的高点C相接时,凸轮配合件119由最下方运动至最上方。
当端面凸轮115沿第一方向继续旋转半圈时,第二斜面119a与第一斜面115a相脱离,施加在弹性件118上的向上作用力撤销,弹性件118向下释放其压缩并且推动凸轮配合件119沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向向下运动,直至第二斜面119a再次与第一斜面115a相接合。
端面凸轮115沿第一方向旋转一圈,凸轮配合件119完成一次沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向的上下往复运动,弹性件118完成一次压缩以及该压缩的释放。端面凸轮115沿第一方向持续旋转一圈以上时,凸轮配合件119完成一次以上沿第一螺杆119的轴线方向的往复运动,弹性件118完成一次以上的压缩及释放压缩。
由于,在初始状态下,第一斜面115a与第二斜面119a相接合,第一立面115b与第二立面119b相对并且相接合,并且第二立面119只能沿第一螺杆112的轴线方向上下运动,而不能沿第一方向或者第二方向旋转,
因此,在端面凸轮115沿第二方向旋转时,第一立面115与第二立面119b相抵接,并且第二立面119b阻挡第一立面115b沿第二方向转动,从而限制端面凸轮115沿第二方向旋转。
采用上述技术方案,可以限制第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114反向旋转。当第一螺杆112和第二螺杆114强制反向旋转时,由于凸轮配合件119的限制,第一螺杆112和/或第二螺杆114会被损坏,进而使得加样机构100被破坏。如此,使得加样机构100不能重复使用,并且一个加样机构100仅能作为一种试剂的一次性专用输送设备使用,从而避免加样机构100重复使用,进而防止因重复使用而产生的试剂交叉污染或者试剂误用等问题。
可以理解的是,当加样机构100不包含旋转限制机构时,加样机构100是可以被重复使用的。
参照图2、图3、图7至图10,该加样机构100还包括适于封闭以及打开第二通道第二开口113b的出口阀120,以有效防止加样机构100中的试剂泄露。
具体而言,出口阀120与第二通道113靠近第二通道第二开口113b的一端转动连接,并且适于被驱动以沿第三方向转动而封闭第二通道第二开口113b、以及沿第四方向转动以打开第二通道第二开口113b。其中,第四方向与第三方向相反。
在一些实施例中,第三方向可以是逆时针方向或者顺时针方向。相应地,第四方向可以是顺时针方向或者逆时针方向。
在一些实施例中,出口阀120包括封闭部121。封闭部121包括适于面向第二通道第二开口113b设置的密封件。该密封件适于在出口阀120沿第三方向转动时逐渐靠近并且面向第二通道第二开口113b以适于嵌入第二通道第二开口113b而将其封闭、以及在出口阀120沿第四方向转动时从第二通道第二开口113b脱离并且远离第二通道第二开口113b而打开第二通道第二开口113b。
在一些实施例中,该密封件可以是与第二通道第二开口113b相配合
的硅胶盖,并且适于嵌入第二通道第二开口113b而将其封闭。
在一些实施例中,该加样机构100还包括设置于第二通道113的外侧的卡勾块123。相应地,出口阀120还包括与封闭部121连接,并且相对于封闭部121弯折以适于面向第二通道113的侧部设置的卡勾部122。
具体而言,卡勾部122包括朝向卡勾块123设置的卡勾槽122a。该卡勾槽122a适于在出口阀120沿第三方向转动时朝着卡勾块123运动、并且在运动至卡勾块123时被卡勾块123限位以使密封件面向第二通道第二开口113b设置而嵌入第二通道第二开口113b,以及在出口阀120沿第四方向转动时离开卡勾块123。
在一些实施例中,当卡勾槽122a被卡勾块123限位时,卡勾槽122a与卡勾块123的底部相抵接。如此,可以限制出口阀120向上运动,从而使密封件稳定嵌入在第二通道第二开口113b内。
参照图9和图10,在一些实施例中,该加样机构100还包括适于至少部分地收纳第一通道111和第二通道113的通道外壳124。第一通道111和第二通道113至少部分地套设于通道外壳124内。并且,通道外壳124的下侧部具有适于面向通道外壳124外部的感应机构316设置的触发部125。感应机构316与出口阀120连接,并且适于在其与触发部125接触时触发出口阀120沿第三方向运动以封闭第二通道第二开口113b、以及在其与触发部125脱离接触时触发出口阀120沿第四方向运动以打开第二通道第二开口113b。
在一些实施例中,该加样机构100还包括分别与出口阀120和感应机构316连接的出口阀电机317。感应机构316与触发部125接触时,触发出口阀电机317控制出口阀120沿第三方向运动;感应机构316与触发部125脱离接触时,触发出口阀电机310控制出口阀120沿第四方向运动。
在一些实施例中,感应机构316可以采用微动开关。
在一些实施例中,出口阀电机317可以采用舵机。
在一些实施例中,当加样机构100同时包括顶盖117和通道外壳124时,顶盖117可以安装于通道外壳124的顶端。
参照图11,在另一些实施例中,输送通道111、126包括第三通道126,输送通道第一开口111a、126a包括第三通道第一开口126a,输送通道第二开口111b包括第三通道第二开口。
相应地,输送机构包括设置于第三通道126内的传送带127;传送带126适于被驱动以传动,以及在传动过程中接收来自第三通道第一开口126a的试剂并且将试剂输送至第三通道第二开口。
在具体实施中,传送带126包括连续变化的第一传送段126a和第二传送段126b。其中,第一传送段126a适于将试剂输送至第三通道第二开口;第二传送段126b适于将未通过第三通道第二开口离开的试剂送回至第三通道126。
可以理解的是,传送带126为环形的,并且传送带126中的任意一段在传动过程中都是持续产生位移变化的,因此,适于将试剂输送至第三通道第二开口的第一传送段126a在传送带126上的位置时连续变化的,适于将未通过第三通道第二开口离开的试剂送回至第三通道126的第二传送段126b在传送带126上的位置也是连续变化的。
在一些实施例中,第三通道126包括与容器211连通的第三通道第三开口,以允许未通过第三通道第二开口离开的试剂回到容器211内。
在具体实施中,第三通道第一开口126a可以设置于第三通道126的中侧部,并且与容器211连通以接收容器211内的试剂;第三通道第二开口可以设置于第三通道的底部,并且与加样机构100的外部连通以将试剂输出;第三通道第三开口可以设置于第三通道的上侧部,并且与容器211连通以使第三通道126内的试剂可以回到容器211内。
如此,有利于容器211内的试剂进入第三通道126,并且通过设置于第三通道126内的传送带127被输送至容器211的外部以及再次回到容器211内,从而有利于试剂通过加样机构100进行分配输送。
在一些实施例中,还可以在传送带127上设置若干沟槽127c以便于传送带127接收以及输送试剂。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,输送通道的体积及其各个开口的
尺寸均可定制,并且输送通道内输送机构的运动速度也可以调节,因此,该加样机构100对于大、小剂量的试剂取样均适用。
此外,目前现有技术中的加样器械对于10毫克以下剂量的取样均需要人工多次少量操作,而且取样结果精度低、误差大。
而采用本发明实施例提供的加样机构100,经试验测试,对于2毫克及以下剂量的试剂也可以实现精准的取样。
本发明实施例的第二个方面在于,提供一种加样器200。
参照图12,该加样器200包括容器211和加样机构100。其中,容器211适于容纳试剂。加样机构100至少部分地设置于容器211内并且与容器211的外部连通,以将容器211内的试剂输送至容器211外。
在具体实施中,该加样机构100可以包括本发明实施例的第一个方面提供的加样机构100。
参照图12和图13,在一些实施例中,容器211与加样机构100之间可以通过接口机构220连接。
具体而言,容器211包括容器口。接口机构220包括沿容器口的轴线方向贯通的接口221、以及依次套设于接口221内的支撑件222和轴承件223。
在具体实施中,加样机构100穿设于轴承件223内;接口221可拆卸地套设于容器口的外周;接口221和支撑件222之间具有间隙以接收容器口的侧壁211a。
进一步地,支撑件222与轴承件223之间、以及支撑件222与容器口的侧壁211a之间还分别设置有第一密封圈224和第二密封圈225,以使接口机构220分别与加样机构100和容器口密封连接。
在一些实施例中,接口221与容器口的外周之间可以采用螺纹连接。
在一些实施例中,加样机构100还包括适于至少部分地收纳第一通道111和第二通道113的通道外壳124,并且通道外壳124的外侧还设置有限位块124a,以限定加样机构100穿设在接口机构220中的位置,从而限定
加样机构100与容器211的连接位置。
在一些实施例中,轴承件223的上端面可以相对于支撑件222的上端面向下凹陷,并且适于接收以及容纳限位块124a。同时,第一密封圈224可以设置于限位块124a与轴承件223的上端面之间。
如此,不但可以限定加样机构100穿设在接口机构220中的位置,以限定加样机构100与容器211的连接位置,而且还可以使加样机构100稳定地固定于接口机构220,从而使加样机构100与容器211之间稳定连接。
在具体实施中,限位块124a可以设置于通道外壳124的中部,并且位于第一通道第一开口111a的下方,以免影响容器211内的试剂通过第一通道第一开口111a进入第一通道111。
在一些实施例中,第一螺杆112适于被驱动以第一速度沿第一方向旋转。同时,容器211也适于被驱动以第二速度沿第一方向旋转。其中,第二速度小于第一速度。
如此,可以使容器211内的试剂流动起来以防止积压,从而有利于容器211内的试剂顺利通过第一通道第一开口111a进入第一通道111,进而有利于试剂通过加样机构100顺利输出。
本发明实施例的第三个方面在于,提供一种加样装置300。
参照图14至图18,在一些实施例中,该加样装置300包括加样器200和驱动机构310。其中,加样器200包括容器211和加样机构100;容器211适于容纳试剂;加样机构100包括相互啮合传动的第一加样机构和第二加样机构,第一加样机构适于将容器211内的试剂输送至第二加样机构,第二加样机构适于将试剂输送至容器211的外部和内部;驱动机构310与第一加样机构连接,并且适于驱动第一加样机构沿第一方向旋转,同时通过第一加样机构带动第二加样机构沿第二方向旋转;第二方向与第一方向相反。

可以理解的是,第二齿轮312与驱动电机311同轴连接表示第二齿轮312与驱动电机311同步转动连接;第一螺杆112与第三齿轮313同轴连接表示第一螺杆112与第三齿轮313同步转动连接。
如前所述,在一些实施例中,还可以设置有至少二个第一螺杆112。在此情形下,至少二个第一螺杆112之间可以同步转动连接,例如可以采用行星齿轮同步转动连接,并且至少二个第一螺杆112中的一个第一螺杆112与第三齿轮313同轴连接,以通过驱动电机311驱动该第一螺杆112沿第一方向旋转,从而通过该第一螺杆112带动其他第一螺杆112沿第一方向旋转。
进一步地,与第三齿轮313同轴连接的第一螺杆112还可以与第二螺杆114啮合传动连接。
如前所述,在一些实施例中,还可以设置有至少二个第二螺杆114。在此情形下,至少二个第二螺杆114之间可以同步转动连接,例如可以采用行星齿轮同步转动连接,并且至少二个第二螺杆114中的一个第二螺杆114与同轴连接第三齿轮313的第一螺杆112啮合传动连接,以通过该第一螺杆112驱动该第二螺杆114沿第二方向旋转,从而带动其他第二螺杆114沿第二方向旋转。
如前所述,在一些实施例中,第一螺杆112适于被驱动以第一速度沿第一方向旋转。容器211也适于被驱动以第二速度沿第一方向旋转。其中,第二速度小于第一速度。
在此情形下,驱动机构310还可以包括与第二齿轮312啮合传动连接
的第四齿轮314。并且,第四齿轮314与容器211同轴连接。其中,第三齿轮313与第四齿轮314的直径比等于第二速度与第一速度的速度比。
在具体实施中,第二齿轮312适于在驱动电机311的驱动下旋转并且驱动第三齿轮313带动第一螺杆112以第一速度沿第一方向旋转、以及驱动第四齿轮314带动容器211以第二速度沿第一方向旋转。
采用上述技术方案,通过同一驱动机构310可以同时驱动容器211与加样机构100旋转,不但节省驱动源,而且节省产品的占用空间和成本。
在一些实施例中,本发明实施例的第二个方面提供的加样器200也可以包括该驱动机构310。如此,可以在驱动第一螺杆112以第一速度沿第一方向旋转时,同时驱动容器211以第二速度沿第二方向旋转。
在一些实施例中,驱动机构310还可以包括适于收纳驱动电机311、第二齿轮312、第三齿轮313和第四齿轮314的驱动外壳315。并且,驱动外壳315可以具有与接口机构220相配合的敞口以连接接口机构220,并且通过接口机构220连接容器211、加样机构100以及驱动机构310。
在一些实施例中,驱动外壳315的敞口可以具有与接口211的外周相配合的尺寸,以接收接口211,从而通过接口机构220连接容器211、加样机构100以及驱动机构310。
在一些实施例中,当通过驱动机构310同时驱动容器211旋转时,驱动外壳315的敞口与接口211的外周之间采用转动连接,例如可以采用轴承转动连接。
在另一些实施例中,当容器211不旋转时,驱动外壳315的敞口与接口211的外周之间可以采用固定连接,例如可以采用螺纹连接。
在本发明实施例中,容器211与加样机构100之间、以及加样器200(包括容器211和加样机构100)与驱动机构310之间均可以通过接口机构220进行方便地安装和拆卸,不但有利于快速更换容器211、加样机构100以及加样器200,以便于在需要称取多种试剂的情形下可以快速更换试剂、省时省力,而且可以避免多种试剂采用同一称量器具称量取样时可能带来的试剂污染以及清洗称量器具的麻烦。
可以理解的是,采用本发明实施例提供的技术方案,不同种类的试剂既可以采用不同的容器211和加样机构100分别进行称量取样,也可以采用同一个容器211和加样机构100进行称量取样。但采用同一个容器211和加样机构100进行不同试剂的称量取样时,需要在容器211中更换不同的试剂,并且每次更换试剂前需及时清理容器211和加样机构100内的残留试剂。
在具体实施中,加样机构100的下部适于插入驱动外壳315内以使第一螺杆112与第三齿轮313同轴连接、以及使容器211与第四齿轮314连接。
在一些实施例中,第一螺杆112的底端具有插头。相应地,第三齿轮313具有与第一插头相配合的插孔。通过插头紧密嵌入插孔以连接第一螺杆112和第三齿轮313。

方向运动以打开第二通道第二开口113b。
在一些实施例中,该加样装置300还包括分别与出口阀120和感应机构316连接的出口阀电机317。感应机构316与触发部125接触时,触发出口阀电机317控制出口阀120沿第三方向运动;感应机构316与触发部125脱离接触时,触发出口阀电机310控制出口阀120沿第四方向运动。

相应地,锁紧机构320还包括设置于加样机构100的外侧的接收槽以及位于接收槽两侧的接收孔,例如可以是通道外壳124的外侧的接收槽以及位于该接收槽两侧的接收孔。
在一些实施例中,接收槽和接收孔可相对于加样机构100的外侧(例如可以是通道外壳124的外侧)向内凹陷,以使加样机构100的外侧(例如可以是通道外壳124的外侧)平整,以利于美观。
在具体实施中,接收槽适于接收并且容纳抵接件323的延伸部323a。接收槽两侧的两个接收孔分别适于接收第一弹簧324a和第二弹簧324b。第一弹簧324a的两端分别连接于抵接件323的一端内侧和一个接收孔内,第二弹簧324b的两端分别连接于抵接件323的另一端内侧和另一个接收孔内。
在一些实施例中,抵接件323的两端可以分别称为开启端323b和关闭端323c,并且沿开启端323b指向关闭端323c的方向,抵接件323的宽度逐渐增加。
在具体实施中,第一弹簧324a连接于开启端323b的内侧,第二弹簧324b连接于关闭端323c的内侧。
当加样机构100插入驱动外壳315时,凸轮322可以抵接于抵接件323的开启端323b的外侧。当向抵接件323的关闭端323c所在方向拨动拨动件321时,凸轮322围绕凸轮轴322a转动并且自抵接件323的开启端323b的外侧运动至抵接件323的关闭端323c的外侧。
由于,抵接件323的关闭端323c的宽度较厚,当凸轮322运动至抵接件323的关闭端323c的外侧并且与其相抵接时,凸轮322驱动抵接件323的延伸部323a嵌入接收槽内,同时第一弹簧324a和第二弹簧324b被压缩,而将加样机构100锁紧,以防止加样机构100在驱动外壳315内晃动。
当加样机构100被锁紧时,第一弹簧324a和第二弹簧324b的压缩程度相同,从而使得第一弹簧324a和第二弹簧324b抵抗压缩的弹性恢复力并不能驱动凸轮322转动,进而使加样机构100可以被稳定地锁紧。
当向抵接件323的开启端323b所在方向拨动拨动件321时,凸轮322围绕凸轮轴322a转动并且自抵接件323的关闭端323c的外侧运动至抵接件323的开启端323b的外侧。
由于,抵接件323的开启端323b的宽度较薄,当凸轮322运动至抵接件323的开启端323b的外侧并且与其相抵接时,第一弹簧324a和第二弹簧324b在弹性恢复力的作用下伸长以恢复压缩,同时带动抵接件323的延伸部323a离开接收槽,以解除对加样机构100的锁紧,从而便于加样机构100从驱动外壳315内顺利抽出。
需要说明的是,为了便于示意锁紧机构320的结构,在图16中仅示意了凸轮322与抵接件323在抵接件323的关闭端323c的抵接状态,并未完全示意出锁紧机构320在对加样机构100锁紧时的实际状态。
本发明实施例的第四个方面在于,提供一种加样设备400。
参照图19,在一些实施例中,该加样设备400包括加样器200和升降转动机构410。其中,加样器200可以包括容器211和加样机构100;容器
211适于容纳试剂;加样机构100至少部分地设置于容器211内并且与容器211的外部连通,以将容器211内的试剂至少输送至容器211外;升降转动机构410至少与加样机构100连接,以控制加样机构100的高度和角度,而使加样机构100在输出试剂时适于对准接收试剂的试剂瓶。
可以理解的是,在进行试剂的称量取样时,需要在第二通道113的第二通道第二开口113b的下方放置试剂瓶以接收试剂。通过设置升降转动机构410控制加样机构100的高度和角度,可以使第二通道第二开口113b顺利对准试剂瓶的瓶口,以便于其接收试剂。
在具体实施中,该加样设备400中的加样机构100可以包括本发明实施例的第一个方面提供的加样机构100。
在具体实施中,该加样设备400中的加样器200可以包括本发明实施例的第二个方面提供的加样器200。
在一些实施例中,该加样设备400还包括驱动机构310。该驱动机构310与加样机构100连接,以驱动加样机构100输送试剂。例如,可以通过驱动机构310驱动加样机构100中的第一螺杆112沿第一方向旋转,并带动第二螺杆114沿第二方向旋转。
在具体实施中,驱动机构310可以包括本发明实施例的第三个方面提供的驱动机构310。
在一些实施例中,由于容器211、加样机构100可以通过接口机构220与驱动外壳315连接,由此,升降转动机构410还可以与驱动外壳315连接,并且适于调节驱动外壳315的高度和角度,从而控制加样机构100的高度和角度。
在本发明实施例中,升降转动机构410可以采用本领域中任意已知的技术手段实现。
例如,升降转动机构410可以采用气压或者液压的方式控制加样机构100或者驱动外壳315进行升降以及升降的高度。
又例如,升降转动机构410可以包括支架,并且可以通过加样机构
100或者驱动外壳315与支架之间的安装角度控制加样机构100的角度。
本发明实施例的第五个方面在于,提供一种加样系统500。
参照图20,在一些实施例中,该加样系统500可以包括加样机构100、天平510和控制器520。其中,加样机构100适于将外部容器211内的试剂输送至容器211外的试剂瓶内;天平510设置于试剂瓶下方,并且适于称量输送至试剂瓶内的试剂的质量;控制器520分别与天平510和加样机构100连接,并且适于基于天平510称量的质量调节输送机构运动的速度。
在具体实施中,该加样系统500中的加样机构100可以包括本发明实施例的第一个方面提供的加样机构100。
在一些实施例中,输送机构可以包括传送带127。在此情形下,控制器520可以与传送带127的驱动机构连接,并且通过该驱动机构调节传送带127的传动速度。
在另一些实施例中,输送机构可以包括第一螺杆112。在此情形下,控制器520可以与第一螺杆112的驱动机构310连接,并且通过该驱动机构310调节第一螺杆112的转速。
在一些实施例中,当输送至试剂瓶内的试剂的质量还没有接近试剂的目标质量时,可以使第一螺杆112以较高的转速旋转,从而使试剂快速被输送至试剂瓶内。而当输送至试剂瓶内的试剂的质量接近试剂的目标质量时,可以使第一螺杆112以较低的转速旋转,从而使试剂缓慢被输送至试剂瓶内,以防止试剂快速输送而导致输送试剂过量的问题产生。
可以理解的是,试剂的目标质量表示期望称取的试剂的质量。
采用上述技术方案,通过结合称量反馈来调节加样机构100中的第一螺杆112的转速,可以控制输出试剂的质量流量,从而更好地实现试剂的精确称量取样。
经大量试验证明,采用本发明实施例提供的加样机构100、加样器200、加样装置300、加样设备400、加样系统500,输出试剂的质量流量
可控并且在给样速度不变时保持恒定,如此可以有效地保证取样的精度。
尽管上文已经描述了本发明的具体实施方案,但这些实施方案并非要限制本发明公开的范围,即使仅相对于特定特征描述单个实施方案的情况下也是如此。本发明公开中提供的特征示例意在进行例示,而非限制,除非做出不同表述。在具体实施中,可根据实际需求,在技术上可行的情况下,将一项或者多项从属权利要求的技术特征与独立权利要求的技术特征进行组合,并可通过任何适当的方式而不是仅通过权利要求书中所列举的特定组合来组合相应权利要求的技术特征。
虽然本发明披露如上,但本发明并非限定于此。任何本领域技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与修改,因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。
