Problems solved by technology

[0007] As a background, especially in a sample transport system using a test tube rack loaded with only one test tube, the transport destination of each test tube rack can be flexibly selected and changed according to the system situation, thereby shortening the processing time and responding to various application, but may occupy the conveyor line in order to transport multiple test tube racks

Embodiment Construction

[0029] in figure 1 Represents the transport model of the specimen transport system. In addition, in Figure 5 Shows the overall system diagram of a specific specimen transport system.

[0030] The specimen transportation system of this embodiment is connected with a plurality of preprocessing units 1, 2, and 3. The specimen loaded on the test tube rack is transported to each pretreatment unit through the transport line 11 and the joining line 12, and necessary processing is performed. Through the combination of the conveying line 11 and the joining line 12, a confluence point 13 and a branch point 14 are generated.

[0031] In addition, with figure 1 The main transport line 11 that transports the specimen from left to right, and the return line that transports the processed specimen from right to left. Assume that the confluence point is in any line, and it is set upstream of the branch line.

[0032] If the confluence point 13 accepts the sample subject to group management, the l...

Abstract

The present invention is mainly characterized in that a management unit (100), which maintains the state of an entire specimen transportation system and specimen information in order to connect multiple carriers together so as to transport and control the carriers, generates group information for which multiple simultaneous processes are to be implemented from sample attributes and request information, and units (1, 2, 3) comprising a transport lines (11), connection lines (12) and processing unit (15) control receiving carriers at merging points (13) on the basis of the group information, enabling the carriers to be controlled in groups. According to this configuration, the specimen transport system: achieves group control, and a mechanism capable of connecting and transporting multiple specimens together, even if carriers capable of carrying multiple containers are not used, in order to process multiple specimens, which have been collected for the purpose of being processed in the same manner, as a single lot; and improves processing efficiency by performing simultaneous processing of multiple specimens. Furthermore, line occupancy rates are minimized due to group control, processing efficiency is ensured, and processing time is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention mainly relates to a specimen transport system, especially in a specimen transport system using a test tube rack (carrier) that can load test tubes containing blood, urine, and other test samples one by one. The control method for multiple examination samples collected by one patient is a high-capacity sample delivery system that processes multiple test tubes at the same time. Background technique [0002] Due to the popularization of the examination reservation system, the sample collection volume is automatically calculated based on the number of examination orders registered by the doctor in charge, and the number of test tubes collected from the patient is determined. In these collected test tubes, multiple samples of the same specimen are sometimes collected for the same processing, which is generally called a multi-sample specimen, and the same specimen barcode ID is pasted. The collection of these multiple specimens is also in o...
