- the entire arrangement of the two vessel holders can be pivoted via the rotating arm, which is rotatably arranged via an axis (47) become.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows the perspective view of a further embodiment, with which an increased throughput of vessels can be achieved.
- Single components this second embodiment are shown separately in FIGS. 5 to 8.
- the device in FIG. 4 has a left and a right tripod leg (50, 51). Between A conveyor belt (52) runs on these tripod legs, on which racks with sample vessels can be transported. The conveyor belt is arranged so that the in a frame located vessels successively moved below the vessel receiving device become. The conveyor belt (52) can be controlled so that it stops when a sample vessel is located below the closure holder.
- a gripper (53) which is used to remove vessels from a rack or for lifting a vessel in the rack.
- the gripper (53) is located, for example, on a spindle with which it moves up and down can be.
- the gripper (53) moves to feed a closure to the closure holder so high that it is above the holding jaws (54) of the vessel holding device. In this Position hold the vessel holding jaws (54) the vessel.
- the height at which the gripper (53) Vessel lifts is chosen so that the closure holding device (10) hold the closure can.
- FIG 4 schematically shows a closure holding device (10) with a rotatable mounted nut (55), which carries recesses on its outer peripheral surface. In these recesses the plunger (56) can engage and thus prevent the nut (55) from rotating.
- the lock retainer (10) in this embodiment is powered by a motor (58) driven by a toothed belt (57).

- the locking device (10) is located here, as in the first embodiment, on a threaded rod or screw (21).
- the nut (55) is rotatably mounted in ball bearings (71).
- the nut (55) has depressions on its outer circumferential surface, for example, analogous to the teeth of a gear, so that in these recesses Plunger (56) can engage.
- the plunger (56) is moved by a lifting magnet (72). In its rest position, the plunger (56) is largely within the Solenoid (72) and does not engage in the recesses of the nut (55). At Activation of the solenoid (72), the plunger (56) into a recess of the nut (55) emotional.
- the threaded rod (21), on which the holding device (10) is located, is driven via a motor (73) via a toothed belt (57).
- the toothed belt (57) runs over first gear (74) located on the axis of the motor (73) and a second Gear (75), which is firmly connected to the threaded rod (21).
- the lock receiving device (10) is rotated without a superimposed linear movement. This can be used to advantage if before removal the closure, the entire sample vessel is to be rotated, for example for Reading a barcode on the vessel or for level determination. Will the Nut (55), however, prevented from rotating by the plunger (56), so the Rotation of the threaded rod (21) partially converted into a linear movement and the Locking device (10) carries out a linear and a rotary movement simultaneously.
- the benefits of removing closures using this form of movement have been already described in connection with the first embodiment.
- FIG. 6 shows an improved embodiment of the vessel holding device. It has found that it is necessary for the proper functioning of the vessel holding device Crucial is the position of the vessel axis with each hold cycle is precisely defined and does not shift between individual holding cycles. Therefore, it is advantageous to use a single motor (80) for driving the vessel holding device, which transfers its rotary motion to the two vessel holding jaws (54). On the A damping element (81), which is too large, is attached to the axis of the motor (80) prevents mechanical stress on the vessels when the vessel holding device is closed.
- This damping element (81) is a flexible material, in usually a plastic that is located between two metal discs that are firmly attached are connected to the respective part of the drive axle.
- Figure 7 shows a gripper (53), which has a relatively simple structure.
- the Both gripper jaws (90) each have a thread that is on a threaded rod (91) runs, the threaded rod has two oppositely oriented threads.
- the threaded rod (91) is with the Axis connected to a motor (92).
- the gripper jaws are turned by rotating the motor axis (90) moved towards or away from each other depending on the direction of rotation.
- a damping element (81) are provided to one To prevent destruction of vessels may be between the axis of the Motor and the threaded rod (91).
- the function of the gripper is that of grasping a vessel and the closure holding device suitable feed. It has proven to be advantageous if the gripper (53) first a vessel with the gripping jaws (90) firmly and then by a counter-rotating Movement of the motor slightly loosens the handle. The vessel can now are moved along the axis of the vessel between the gripping jaws (90) without sideways fall out. If the gripper (53) moves upwards, the vessel slides along the Longitudinal axis through the gripping jaws (90) until the edge of the vessel or the closure on the Gripping jaws (90) rests. Due to the position of the gripper jaws known to the device can now determine the position of the closure with sufficient accuracy become. It is therefore no longer necessary to separately detect the closure.
- FIG. 8 shows a further improvement of the device with which one Disposal of twisted closures is easy and contamination-free.
- Lever (60) is firmly connected on one side to the axis of a motor (93) and can be pivoted by the engine.
- the lever carries one on the other side annular opening that opens into a hose (61).
- lever Flag (95) attached, which can be detected by light barriers (94).
- the functioning of the collecting device is that after unscrewing a closure from a vessel the annular opening of the lever under the closure holder (10) is moved, the shutter holding device releases the shutter so that it falls through the annular opening of the lever into the hose (61). After the catch process the lever (60) is moved out of the area of the locking device, in order not to impair subsequent process steps.
- the lever must therefore can assume at least two positions, the first being below the closure holding device and the second is outside of this area. For reliable detection these positions are used by light barriers.
- the hose (61) of the collecting device can, for example, be made of a plastic or also consist of a fabric material.
- the hose should be dimensioned so that closures, that slide through it fall into a containment zone in which it operates do not interfere with the device and do not cause contamination.
