Abstract:
In a conventional conveyor line, an empty specimen rack conveyor line is provided separately from a specimen rack conveyor line having a specimen mounted thereon. However, crossing of the conveyor lines leads to the decrease in processing speed. Also, when a specimen rack conveyor line and an empty specimen rack conveyor line are configured on two stages, a vertical movement mechanism needs to be added in order to connect the upper-stage conveyor line and the lower-stage conveyor line, and there is a possibility that the system is complicated and the cost thereof is increased. In the present invention, by connecting an empty holder conveyor line and a main conveyor line disposed up and down on two stages via one conveyor line having a horizontal part and an inclined part, crossing of the conveyor lines can be eliminated and an inexpensive structure can be achieved.
Abstract:
A specimen transfer device having high flexibility is implemented, where a specimen can be transferred between carriers purposed for different kinds of conveyance without decreasing processing speed for the specimen. A plurality of trays that can retain specimen carriers of a transfer destination is provided, and these trays can be freely grouped, and therefore, while a carrier is fed from a tray, a specimen is automatically executed to a carrier in a different tray.
Abstract:
Proposed is a sample transport apparatus including at least one transport line stage including first and second transport lines each configured to transport sample holders each capable of holding at least one sample along a side wall of a housing along a long-side direction, a drive mechanism configured to transport the sample holders along the first and second transport lines, and wires accommodated in the housing and connected to at least the drive mechanism, in which the first transport line and the second transport line of the transport line stage are arranged in parallel along a long-side side face of the housing, and a first distance between the first transport line and the long-side side face that is adjacent the first transport line is shorter than a second distance between the first transport line and the second transport line.
