SAMPLE RACK CONVEYING APPARATUS, PIPELINE AND CONVEYING METHOD USING SAME
First Claim
1. A sample rack conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a track comprising an outer track and an inner track parallel to the outer track, wherein the inner track defines at least two analysis areas;
a detector provided at a side of the analysis areas for detecting whether there is a test tube or not; and
dual-channel track switching areas defined at two ends of the track and at a position between the analysis areas;
wherein the dual-channel track switching areas comprise two parallel connecting channels, the parallel connecting channels are capable of moving along a direction perpendicular to the track between the inner track and the outer track, the parallel connecting channels are capable of connecting with the inner track and the outer track at the same time.

Abstract
The present application provides a sample rack conveying apparatus, a sample rack conveying pipeline, and a sample rack conveying method. The sample rack conveying apparatus includes a track, a detector and dual-channel track switching areas. The detector provided at an outside of the analysis areas to detect whether there is a test tube or not. The dual-channel track switching areas are defined at two ends of the track and positions between every two analysis areas. The track includes an outer track and a parallel inner track. The inner track defines at least two analysis areas. The dual-channel track switching areas include two parallel connecting channels. The connecting channels are moved along a direction perpendicular to the track to transfer the tracks between the inner track and the outer track.
