Automatic specimen feeding system and control method therefor

Abstract

The present invention relates to an automatic specimen feeding system and a control method therefor, the automatic specimen feeding system comprising: a main frame installed adjacent to a carbon measuring apparatus, having a space with an open upper portion, and being provided with an input hole for inputting a specimen into the carbon measuring apparatus; a specimen seating unit which reciprocates horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the carbon measuring apparatus while moving up and down with respect to the main frame, and on which a plurality of specimens can be seated; a specimen lift unit which is installed under the specimen seating unit and can lift one of the plurality of specimens seated on the specimen seating unit; and a specimen input unit which is installed lengthways in the direction towards the carbon measuring apparatus to grip specimens lifted by the specimen lift unit and to input the specimens into the carbon measuring apparatus. Therefore, a plurality of specimens can be automatically input into the carbon measuring apparatus and used specimens can be discarded without using manpower, and thus user convenience can be improved. In addition, processes of inputting specimens can be minimized to noticeably reduce the time taken to automatically measure carbon by using specimens.
