Apparatus for supplying test tube and label attaching system for using thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus for supplying test tubes and a label attaching system for using thereof. Through improving space configuration of a test tube supply unit and a transfer unit of a carrying structure on the apparatus for supplying test tubes, and improving structure of each unit, compact, lightweight, and excellent movability is realized. The invention provides an apparatus for supplying test tubes. The apparatus comprises at least more than one test tube supply units in which a plurality of test tubes are stacked, a shifting unit, and a transfer unit. After the shifting unit moves below each test tube supply unit, the test tubes supplied by the test tube units are supplied to a label attaching unit. The transfer unit transfers the shifting unit to the lower part of each test tube supply unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a test tube supply device, in particular to a test tube supply device for attaching labels printed with various relevant information to test tubes used in hospitals, research institutes, universities, etc., and a labeling system using the device. Background technique [0002] When storing various samples such as blood, copper, plant samples, and chemical compounds, long tubular test tubes with one side closed are used. This type of test tube is used in the state where the label recording the information of the contained sample is attached, so the work efficiency can be improved. [0003] In particular, in medical institutions such as hospitals, various test tubes are used for blood collection depending on the amount of blood collected and the inspection status of the blood collection. The test tube displays personal information such as the date and time of blood collection, the name, gender, and age of the blood collec...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, there are still problems in the existing test tube supply device, the transfer unit includes the test tube supply unit, its mechanical structure is complicated, the equipment volume is too large, and the required manufacturing cost and installation cost are relatively high, so that it is limited to large-scale hospitals , research institutes and other environments where the use of test tubes is large

[0008] Another problem is that the test tube supply device needs to rely on the test tube supply unit mounted on the test tube to ensure that the test tubes are discharged sequentially through the discharge port, but when making the discharge port, the diameters of the test tube body and head are not considered, causing the test tube Mutual collision and jamming occur, resulting in discharge delay
