As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the present application provides a consumable loading mechanism. The consumable loading mechanism of this embodiment is used to load consumables on a carrier box 1 (not shown in the figure). The consumable loading mechanism includes: a mounting frame 10, a lifting member 20 and a buffer member 30. The mounting frame 10 has a lifting channel 11, and a transfer port 12 and a loading port 13 connected to the lifting channel 11 are provided on the mounting frame 10, and the loading port 13 is located at the top of the mounting frame 10. The lifting member 20 is arranged in the lifting channel 11 and can move between the transfer port 12 and the loading port 13. The lifting member 20 can transport the carrier box 1, and the carrier box 1 can hold consumables. The buffer member 30 is arranged at the top of the mounting frame 10. When the lifting member 20 transports the carrier box 1 to the loading port 13, the buffer member 30 can buffer the consumables from the carrier box 1. The consumables are preferably reaction containers. The lifting member 20 is preferably a lifting plate driven by a belt transmission structure to achieve lifting.

By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, when the lifting member 20 carries the carrier box 1 to the loading port 13, and when the manipulator is idle, the manipulator can be used to grab the consumables to the buffer member 30, and the buffer member 30 can buffer the consumables from the carrier box 1. In this way, the consumable loading mechanism has a buffer member 30, and no additional setting is required, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the consumable loading mechanism. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of the additional buffer mechanism in the related art, which increases the manufacturing cost of the consumable loading mechanism.

In the present embodiment, the transfer port 12 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting frame 10. Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the transfer port is disposed at the side of the mounting frame.

As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in order to reduce the time it takes for the robot to grab consumables from the carrier box 1 and then place them on the cache part 30, the cache part 30 is located on the outside of the loading port 13, so that the cache part 30 is closer to the loading port 13, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the robot.

As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 6, the mounting frame 10 includes a frame body 14 and a mounting frame 15 disposed on the top of the frame body 14, a lifting channel 11 is formed inside the frame body 14, a loading port 13 is formed inside the mounting frame 15, and a buffer 30 is disposed on the frame edge of the mounting frame 15. Thus, the buffer 30 is disposed near the loading port 13, which is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the manipulator.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , in order to facilitate the cache member 30 to cache the consumables from the carrier box 1 , the cache member 30 includes a cache plate 31 , and the cache plate 31 is provided with a cache hole 311 , and the consumables are placed in the cache hole 311 .

Furthermore, the buffer plate 31 includes a connecting section 312 and a cantilever section 313, wherein the connecting section 312 is connected to the mounting frame 10, the cantilever section 313 protrudes outward from the outer side of the mounting frame 10, and the buffer hole 311 is provided on the cantilever section 313. In this way, after the bottom of the consumable passes through the buffer hole 311 from top to bottom, the mounting frame 10 will not interfere with the consumable, so that the consumable can be stably placed in the buffer hole 311.

In this embodiment, the cache hole 311 is a rectangle that matches the outer contour of the consumable, and can certainly be a circle or a square.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 , in order to prevent the edges of the consumables from interfering with the wall of the cache hole 311, a notch 314 is provided on the wall of the cache hole 311 to avoid the edges of the consumables. In this way, the wall of the cache hole 311 is in surface contact with the consumables, which can increase the stability of placing the consumables in the cache hole 311.

As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the cache holes 311 are multiple and spaced apart. When the manipulator is idle, it can grab the consumables into the multiple cache holes 311 for cache. When the lifting member 20 moves between the transfer port 12 and the loading port 13 to replace the consumables, the manipulator can grab the consumables from the cache plate 31, and wait for the lifting member 20 to move the consumables to the loading port 13 to complete the replacement. When the manipulator is idle, it grabs the consumables into the cache holes 311 for cache. Repeating the above steps can ensure that the lifting member 20 does not affect the normal loading of the consumables by the manipulator when replacing the consumables. At the same time, the number of cached consumables can be increased to reduce the requirement for the replacement speed of the consumables. The above-mentioned "multiple" refers to a number greater than or equal to two.

Specifically, in this embodiment, there are 9 cache holes 311, and the manipulator grabs a consumable every 2 seconds when working normally. At this time, the consumable replacement speed is completed within 9×2=18 seconds.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 , in order to facilitate the installation of the buffer member 30 on the top of the mounting frame 10 , the consumable material loading mechanism further includes a positioning structure 40 disposed between the top of the mounting frame 10 and the buffer member 30 .

As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the positioning structure 40 includes a positioning column 41 and a positioning hole 42 matched with the positioning column 41, the positioning column 41 is arranged on the top of the mounting frame 10, and the positioning hole 42 is arranged on the buffer element 30. The positioning column 41 and the positioning hole 42 are positioned and matched, which can improve the installation efficiency of the buffer element 30.

Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, the positioning hole is arranged on the top of the mounting frame 10 , and the positioning column 41 is arranged on the buffer element 30 .

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , in this embodiment, the cache member 30 is fixed to the top of the mounting frame 10 by a fastener 54 .

The consumables loading device of the present application also includes an input mechanism, a recycling mechanism and a transfer mechanism. The input mechanism and the recycling mechanism are a drawer structure. When the user needs to put in a new carrier box 1 containing consumables or when the carrier box 1 needs to be recycled, the drawer can be pulled out to directly operate the input mechanism and the recycling mechanism. After the placing and recycling actions are completed, the drawer is pushed forward, and the input mechanism moves downward to transport the carrier box 1 containing consumables to the transfer mechanism. The transfer mechanism then transfers the carrier box 1 containing consumables from the input mechanism to the transfer port 12. The lifting member 20 transports the carrier box 1 containing consumables from the transfer port 12 through the lifting channel 11 to the loading port 13. After the carrier box 1 containing consumables is positioned at the loading port 13, the consumables are loaded by the manipulator to use the consumables. During the use of consumables, the manipulator becomes idle. At this time, the manipulator will transfer part of the consumables at the loading port 13 to the cache hole 311 on the cache plate 31. When the consumables on the carrier box 1 are transferred, the lifting member 20 descends and transports the transferred carrier box 1 to the transfer port 12. The transfer mechanism transfers the carrier box 1 from the transfer port 12 to the recycling mechanism for recycling, thereby completing the loading, use, caching and recycling of consumables. In this way, the consumable loading device is a structure that integrates consumable loading, storage, use and caching. The cache member 30 is directly set on the top of the mounting frame 10, which makes the structure simple. At the same time, the motion control algorithm of the manipulator when caching and grasping is simpler and time-saving.

As shown in Figures 1 to 5, in order to enable the manipulator to accurately grab the consumables on the carrier box 1 from the position of the loading port 13, the consumable loading mechanism also includes a height limiter 51, a positioning member 52 and a push-out member 53 arranged at intervals on the top of the mounting frame 10. The height limiter 51 extends above the loading port 13 to limit the distance that the carrier box 1 protrudes upward from the loading port 13. When the carrier box 1 abuts and cooperates with the push-out member 53, the positioning member 52 is positioned and cooperated with the carrier box 1. The height limiter 51 includes a height limiter block, the positioning member 52 includes a positioning seat and a circular positioning block connected to the positioning seat, the push-out member 53 includes a spring sheet, and the consumable loading mechanism also includes a guide block arranged on the top of the mounting frame 10, and the guide block is located on both sides of the push-out member 53. Among them, the height limiter block is arranged on the top of the guide block to form an integrated structural member, or the height limiter block and the guide block are arranged separately.

The specific positioning process of the carrier box containing consumables is as follows: the carrier box containing consumables rises under the action of the lifting member 20. As the carrier box enters the loading port 13, the carrier box will move toward the center plane of the loading port 13 under the action of the inclined surfaces of the two guide blocks, and the limiting surfaces of the left and right guide blocks initially realize the left and right positioning of the carrier box. As the carrier box is lifted, the carrier box will gradually be squeezed by the spring sheet, so that the positioning surface of the carrier box and the positioning seat are tightly attached together, realizing the front and back positioning of the carrier box. Subsequently, under the joint action of the circular positioning block and the spring sheet, the arc surface of the outer side of the carrier box fits with the arc surface of the circular positioning block, further realizing the left and right positioning of the carrier box. The lifting member 20 holds the carrier box so that the carrier box fits with the limiting surface of the height limiting block to achieve the limit in the up and down directions.

The present application also provides a sample analyzer, which includes a consumable loading mechanism and a manipulator, and the consumable loading mechanism is the above-mentioned consumable loading mechanism. Since the above-mentioned consumable loading mechanism can solve the problem of the additionally set cache mechanism in the related art, which increases the manufacturing cost of the consumable loading mechanism, the sample analyzer with the consumable loading mechanism can solve the same technical problem.

In the description of the present utility model, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure.
