Transportation Mechanism For Laterally And Intermittently Transporting A Test Tube Rack And Medical Analyzer Utilizing The Mechanism

Abstract

A transportation mechanism for transporting a test tube rack laterally and intermittently is disclosed. The transportation mechanism includes a test tube rack, one or more fingers and a driving mechanism that drives the finger to move. The finger has a loading state and an unloading state in its movement process. In the loading state, the finger extends upward and into the test tube rack and causes the rack to move laterally. In the unloading state, the finger retrieves downward and out of the test tube rack. Because the finger is driven by the driving mechanism, there is no need to use a restriction metal sheet to press down the finger. As a result, there is no mechanical collision between the finger and the restriction metal sheet, and noise is effectively reduced in the operation.
