Application: Conveyor assembly (Patent ID: US20240077509A1)
The patent filed by Hologic Inc. describes a conveyor assembly designed to transport a carrier coupled to a receptacle to a processing station within an instrument housing. The assembly includes a buffer conveyor and a spur conveyor for moving the carrier between different sections. The spur conveyor features a rotatable diverter with recesses for receiving the carrier and a gripper to move the carrier to the processing position. The system allows for efficient and precise transportation of samples within the instrument.
The conveyor assembly consists of various components such as a host conveyor, diverter mechanisms, and grippers to facilitate the movement of the carrier along different linear paths. The design ensures that the carrier coupled to the receptacle is securely transported between the buffer conveyor, spur conveyor, and processing position. The use of grippers and diverter mechanisms enables smooth transitions and alignment of the carrier with the processing instrument, enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of the conveyor assembly within the instrument.
