Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of specimen detection, and more particularly to an intelligent specimen storage system. Background Art

[0002] Specimen testing, with the results of testing trace amounts, represents the quality, performance or composition of the entity or the whole; therefore, specimen testing is widely used in various fields, including processing and manufacturing, chemical industry and medical testing.

[0003] Taking the above-mentioned medical testing field as an example, by testing samples of patients' body fluids, blood, hair, etc., the patient's current physical condition data can be obtained to help doctors or other testing personnel quickly determine the patient's condition; however, various technical problems may be encountered during the sample testing process:

[0004] For example, at least one medical staff member is required to collect and transport specimens, and the medical staff member is also required to be on standby at all times and be able to move to the specimen handover area in time to take patient samples and then transport them, which is very manpower-consuming. Moreover, after the transportation, the samples that need to be sent to different sample testing processes need to be sorted and placed manually, which reduces the testing efficiency.

[0005] For example, specimens after transportation and collection are usually kept open to prevent contamination by pollutants in the atmosphere and to prevent the contents of the specimens from escaping into the air by volatilization. This increases the risk of contamination during specimen testing. At the same time, specimens stored in an open state are also at risk of being stolen or lost. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent specimen storage system which can reduce manpower consumption, improve detection efficiency, reduce the risk of specimen contamination and prevent specimen loss.

[0046] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figures 1 to 4 The intelligent specimen storage system 10 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown, which is used to store specimens, and can be specifically applied to various fields that require specimen detection steps, such as the medical field. The intelligent specimen storage system 10 includes a box body 1 with a storage cavity 11, a cover plate 12 with a delivery port 121, a first movable member 31 with at least one first storage position 33, a second movable member 41 with at least one second storage position 43, and a power device drivingly connected to the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 respectively. The first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 are both located in the storage cavity 11.

[0048] It can be understood that the box 1 accommodates the specimens through the receiving chamber 11. The cover 12 can move relative to the box 1 to open or close the receiving chamber 11. On the one hand, it can seal the internal specimens to avoid mutual contamination between the outside and the specimens inside the box 1. On the other hand, it also enables medical staff to transfer the specimens in the box 1 in batches in a timely manner at a time without being on standby at all times, saving manpower. The first movable member 31 is used to drive the specimens in the first receiving position 33 to move synchronously. Similarly, the second movable member 41 is used to drive the specimens in the second receiving position 43 to move synchronously. The power device is used to provide a force to drive the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 to move. The first receiving position 33 and the second receiving position 43 are both used to accommodate specimens. The specimen can refer to a component of a test tube, a collector or a tissue storage vessel containing an object to be tested, or it can refer to other components in the prior art that can correspond to the object to be tested.

[0049] It can also be understood that the receiving position can be defined by the hole wall of the hole body or the groove wall of the groove body, or it can be defined by the setting of a limiter or a positioning member. It can be flexibly set according to the container of the specimen. For example, if the specimen is in a test tube as a container, a hole body with a hole diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the test tube can be used to accommodate the test tube, thereby preventing the test tube from shaking in the receiving position.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 can be rotated or moved relative to the box body 1 under the drive of the power device, so that at least one first receiving position 33 and / or at least one second receiving position 43 are aligned with the delivery port 121, so that the specimen can pass through the delivery port 121 and be placed in the first receiving position 33 and / or the second receiving position 43.

[0051] It can be understood that the number of the first receiving positions 33 can be one or more, and the number of the second receiving positions 43 can be one or more. The first receiving positions 33 and the second receiving positions 43 are both used to receive specimens, and the specific number of each can be adjusted according to the space of the receiving cavity 11 or the available space on the first movable part 31 and the second movable part 41.

[0052] It can also be understood that when a specimen needs to be placed, the power device will drive the first movable member 31 and / or the second movable member 41 to move so that the empty first receiving position 33 and / or the second receiving position 43 are aligned with the delivery port 121, so that the specimen placement personnel can place the specimen through the delivery port 121 into the corresponding first receiving position 33 and / or the second receiving position 43, thereby completing the storage of the specimen by the box 1.

[0053] It should be noted that the first receiving position 33 and the second receiving position 43 can be used to receive different specimens, and the specific differences can be divided according to the type of specimen container, or according to the detection process to be adopted, or according to the sampling time of the specimen, or according to the type of content of the specimen.

[0054] Specifically, in some embodiments, the connection relationship between the power device and the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 can be configured so that the power device drives both the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 to move simultaneously; it can also be configured so that the first movable member 31 can move alone when driven by the power device, and the second movable member 41 can also move alone when driven by the power device; it can also be configured so that the power device can drive both the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 to move simultaneously, and drive one of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 to move alone when necessary.

[0055] It can be understood that the connection and cooperation relationship between the above-mentioned power device and the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 can be achieved through a gear transmission system or other power transmission system in the prior art.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 1 may be provided with a cover driving member 122, which is drivingly connected to the cover 12. The cover 12 may rotate or slide relative to the box body 1 under the drive of the cover driving member 122, thereby opening or closing the receiving cavity 11.

[0057] It can be understood that this embodiment solves the problem that the cover 12 is inconvenient to operate manually. The solution to this problem is reflected in the process of use: the cover 12 may be too heavy due to the installation of too many components such as instruments, processors and cameras, and it is difficult to flip or move by manpower. The cover driving member 122 drives the cover 12 to close or open the receiving chamber 11, and the receiving chamber 11 can be opened without manual operation. Secondly, when the operator takes out the specimen in the box 1 and his hands are occupied and it is inconvenient to close the cover 12, the cover driving member 122 can drive the cover 12 to automatically complete the shielding of the receiving chamber 11.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to prevent the cover plate 12 from causing accidental injury to the operator, a safety grating may be provided on the box body 1. When the safety grating is blocked by the operator, the cover plate driving member 122 is controlled to stop working.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the power device 6a may include a first driving member 61a drivingly connected to the first movable member 31, and a second driving member 62a drivingly connected to the second movable member 41. When in use, the first movable member 31 can rotate or move relative to the housing 1 under the drive of the first driving member 61a, and the second movable member 41 can rotate or move relative to the housing 1 under the drive of the second driving member 62a.

[0060] It can be understood that the first driving member 61a and the second driving member 62a can be motors, cylinders or other driving components; the first driving member 61a and the first movable member 31, as well as the second driving member 62a and the second movable member 41 can be directly connected through a transmission shaft, or can be indirectly connected through a gear transmission group or a screw transmission group.

[0061] It can also be understood that the movement trajectories of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 can be flexibly set, for example, they can be set to move along a straight line, can be set to rotate in a circle, can be set to move along an arc, or can be set to move along an irregular trajectory.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the intelligent specimen storage system 10 may further include a third movable member 51 provided with at least one third receiving position 53, and the third receiving position 53 is used to receive specimens. The third movable member 51 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11, and the third movable member 51 is used to move relative to the box body 1 under the drive of the power device 6a, so that at least one third receiving position 53 corresponds to the delivery port 121.

[0063] It can be understood that the third movable member 51 is also used to carry specimens like the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41. The third receiving position 53 can be surrounded by the hole wall of the hole body or the groove wall of the groove body, or can be defined by a limiting member or a positioning member. It is preferred to be able to stably receive specimens, and is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0064] It can also be understood that, similar to the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41, the third movable member 51 can also move synchronously with the first movable member 31 or the second movable member 41 under the drive of the power device, or can move independently. When in use, the power device drives the vacant third receiving position 53 to align with the delivery port 121, so that the specimen can pass through the delivery port 121 and be placed in the corresponding third receiving position 53 and placed in the receiving chamber 11.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the intelligent specimen storage system 10 may further include a first receiving rack 32 disposed on the first movable member 31 , a second receiving rack 42 disposed on the second movable member 41 , and a third receiving rack 52 disposed on the third movable member 51 .

[0066] It can be understood that the first storage rack 32 and the first movable member 31 can be set to be detachably connected or fixedly connected; the second movable member 41 and the second storage rack 42 can be set to be detachably connected or fixedly connected; the third movable member 51 and the third storage rack 52 can be set to be detachably connected or fixedly connected. The detachable connection structure allows medical staff to directly take away the storage racks at all levels when taking away specimens, and then replace them with new storage racks, and the intelligent specimen storage system 10 can work again. Of course, the fixed connection method can prevent the storage racks at all levels from maintaining stability when the movable members move.

[0067] Specifically, RFID identifiers can be respectively set on the first receiving rack 32 and the second receiving rack 42. Through the RFID identifiers, an association is established between the first receiving rack 32 and its corresponding setting position, and an association is established between the second receiving rack 42 and its corresponding setting position. At the same time, the first receiving rack 32 can be associated with the specimens set thereon, and the second receiving rack 42 can be associated with the specimens set thereon, so as to realize standard and rapid traceability.

[0068] Specifically, each level of the storage rack and each level of the movable parts can be connected by a plug-in structure, a magnetic structure, a snap-on structure, or a screw. Of course, fixed connection methods such as welding connection can also be used.

[0069] Specifically, radio frequency sensing components can be set on each level of the storage rack, and the information corresponding to each storage rack corresponds to a radio frequency sensing component. It can be understood that each time a new storage rack is taken out or inserted, the corresponding storage rack can be learned through the radio frequency sensing component; at the same time, during the process of inserting specimens, the information corresponding to each specimen can also be matched to the radio frequency sensing component on the corresponding storage rack, that is, each radio frequency sensing component is associated with the specimen information currently placed thereon, so as to avoid specimen confusion or loss.

[0070] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the power device 6a may further include a third driving member 63a in some embodiments. The third driving member 63a is drivingly connected to the third movable member 51, and the third movable member 51 can rotate or move relative to the box body 1 under the drive of the third driving member 63a.

[0071] It is understandable that the third driving member 63a can be a motor or a cylinder, which can directly or indirectly drive the third movable member 51. The specific moving track can be defined by the slide rail, and the specific speed can be adjusted by the transmission ratio of the third driving member 63a and the third movable member 51 through the speed regulating box.

[0072] Preferably, a position sensor may be disposed in the housing 1 to monitor the positions of the first movable member 31 , the second movable member 41 and the third movable member 51 .

[0073] It can be understood that the position sensor monitors the position of each level of movable parts in real time to ensure that the movable parts at each level can be accurately rotated to the predetermined position so that the corresponding receiving position can be aligned with the delivery port 121.

[0074] Furthermore, the first driving member 61a, the second driving member 62a and the third driving member 63a can all be arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1 to avoid the driving members occupying the distance between the movable parts of each level. Each driving member can transmit power to the corresponding movable part through a worm gear and gears, etc., and fully utilizes the space between the inner wall of the box body and the movable parts, making the box body structure more compact and reducing the space occupied by the entire storage system.

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the delivery port 121 may include a first delivery port 1211, a second delivery port 1212, and a third delivery port 1213 in some embodiments. The first delivery port 1211, the second delivery port 1212, and the third delivery port 1213 are all located on the cover plate 12, and each level of delivery port provides a space for the specimen to pass through the cover plate 12 so that the specimen can be placed in the receiving chamber 11. The first delivery port 1211 is used to align with the first receiving position 33, the second delivery port 1212 is used to align with the second receiving position 43, and the third delivery port 1213 is used to align with the third receiving position 53.

[0076] It can be understood that when in use, the specimen is placed on the first receiving position 33 through the first delivery port 1211, the specimen is placed on the second receiving position 43 through the second delivery port 1212, and the specimen is placed on the third receiving position 53 through the third delivery port 1213. The first, second, and third here do not refer to the order of spatial position or time sequence, but are only distinguished in name; of course, the size and shape of the delivery ports at all levels can be flexibly set, specifically to allow the corresponding specimens to pass through, for example, if a test tube needs to pass through, it can be set to a round shape, and if a square container needs to pass through, it can be set to a square shape.

[0077] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the delivery port 121, a baffle 123 is provided on each of the first delivery port 1211, the second delivery port 1212 and the third delivery port 1213; the baffle 123 can move relative to the cover plate 12 to open or close the first delivery port 1211, the second delivery port 1212 or the third delivery port 1213.

[0078] It can be understood that the baffle 123 serves to separate the receiving chamber 11 from the outside of the box 1. The baffle 123 can be driven to move by a motor-driven screw mechanism to open or block each placement port 121. In this way, it can be configured to open a certain placement port for a single specimen placement to prevent the specimen placement personnel from misplacing the specimen.

[0079] like Figure 5As shown, the intelligent specimen storage system 10 may include a power device 6b in other embodiments. The power device 6b includes a transmission mechanism 61b. The transmission mechanism 61b includes a first transmission shaft 611b connected to the first movable member 31 and a second transmission shaft 612b connected to the second movable member 41.

[0080] The power device 6b further includes a power member 62b disposed in the housing 1 and a power output gear 63b drivingly connected to the power member 62b.

[0081] When in use, the power output tooth 63b can engage with the first transmission shaft 611b or the second transmission shaft 612b when the power member 62b slides relative to the box body 1, so that the power output tooth 63b can drive the first transmission shaft 611b or the second transmission shaft 612b to rotate under the drive of the power member 62b, thereby driving the first movable member 31 or the second movable member 41 to rotate.

[0082] It can be understood that the shape structure of the power device 6b in this embodiment is different from the power device 6a in the aforementioned embodiment. In terms of structure, this embodiment adjusts the position of the power member 62b so that the power output tooth 63b can engage with the first transmission shaft 611b or the second transmission shaft 612b, so that the power output by the power member 62b can be transmitted to the first transmission shaft 611b or the second transmission shaft 612b separately. Setting a single power member 62b can achieve the purpose of driving the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 to move.

[0083] It can also be understood that the power part 62b can be driven to move by a three-axis moving mechanism, that is, the power part 62b can be driven to move to a predetermined position, so that the power output tooth 63b arranged thereon can engage with the corresponding transmission shaft, and establish a driving connection with the transmission shaft; on this basis, using a motor as the power part 62b, it is only necessary to drive the cable to move, and after bundling the cables, the occupied space can be further reduced, and the wiring harness can be prevented from being hooked with other objects.

[0084] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the power device 6b further includes a first transmission gear 6111b disposed on the first transmission shaft 611b and a second transmission gear 6121b disposed on the second transmission shaft 612b. The first transmission gear 6111b and the second transmission gear 6121b are both used to mesh with the power output gear 63b.

[0085] It can be understood that the number of teeth of the first transmission gear 6111b and the second transmission gear 6121b can be flexibly set to adjust the transmission ratio between each of them and the power output gear 63b, and then adjust the respective movement speeds.

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the power device 6b, the central axis of the first transmission shaft 611b and the central axis of the second transmission shaft 612b coincide with each other, and the central axis of the first movable member 31 and the central axis of the second movable member 41 coincide with each other.

[0087] It can be understood that the first transmission shaft 611b is used to drive the first movable member 31 to rotate, and the second transmission shaft 612b is used to drive the second movable member 41 to rotate; thus, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 will rotate around the same rotation axis.

[0088] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the power device 6b, the third transmission shaft 613b and the third transmission gear 6131b, the third transmission gear 6131b is arranged on the third transmission shaft 613b, the third movable member 51 is arranged on the third transmission shaft 613b, and the third transmission gear 6131b is used to drive the third transmission shaft 613b to rotate under the drive of external force, thereby driving the third movable member 51 to rotate.

[0089] It can be understood that the central axis of the third transmission shaft 613b, the central axis of the first transmission shaft 611b and the central axis of the second transmission shaft 612b can be arranged to coincide with each other, and the first movable member 31, the second movable member 41 and the third movable member 51 are arranged at the same level or at a similar level. In this way, it is avoided that there is an excessive vertical spacing between the movable members at each level, making the overall device more compact and convenient for storage and placement.

[0090] Specifically, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 have at least the following positions and matching relationships:

[0091] First, the first movable member 31 is set to be circular, and the second movable member 41 is set to be a ring located outside the first movable member 31; thus, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 41 can be set at the same height;

[0092] Furthermore, a third movable part 51 can be provided, and the third movable part 51 can be provided as a circular ring outside the second movable part 41. In this way, multi-stage movable parts can be provided at the same height for rotation, thereby reducing space occupancy and improving the compactness of the first movable part 31 of the intelligent specimen storage system.

[0093] Secondly, the second movable member 41 is configured as a circle, and the first movable member 31 is configured as a ring outside the second movable member 41 .

[0094] Regardless of whether the number of movable parts at each level is set to two or more than two, they can be set to a nested structure so that the movable parts at each level can rotate at the same horizontal height, avoiding interference with each other while improving the overall compactness of the equipment.

[0095] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent specimen storage system 10 may further include a control device 7 in some embodiments, and the control device 7 serves as an electrical component for controlling the intelligent specimen storage system 10. In some embodiments, the control device 7 may include a scanning component 71 disposed on the box body 1 or the cover plate 12, a controller 72 disposed on the box body 1, and a display control component 73 disposed on the box body 1 or the cover plate 12. The controller 72 is electrically connected to the power device 6a, and the controller 72 is used to receive control instructions and control the power device to work.

[0096] It can be understood that when in use, the user can align the barcode on the specimen with the scanner 71. After the scanner 71 recognizes the barcode, the controller 72 obtains the current specimen information, matches the current specimen information with the corresponding storage position of the specimen, and the controller 72 controls the power device to drive the corresponding movable part to rotate to a predetermined position, so that the predetermined storage position is aligned with the delivery port 121, and the user places the specimen in the box 1 through the delivery port 121. Of course, an identification code can also be set on the box 1, and the user can scan the identification code through a terminal such as a mobile phone, so as to establish a communication connection between the mobile phone and the intelligent specimen storage system 10 corresponding to the current specimen storage system, specifically, to establish a connection with the controller 72. The user enters the information of the current specimen to be stored through the applet or application software on the mobile phone, and the controller 72 controls the power device to drive the corresponding movable part to rotate to a predetermined position, so that the predetermined storage position is aligned with the delivery port 121, and the user places the specimen in the box 1 through the delivery port 121.

[0097] It can also be understood that the scanner 71 can be an infrared scanner for scanning barcodes, etc., or an RFID identification element for identifying the RFID element on the corresponding specimen; specifically, the controller 72 can identify the information corresponding to the current specimen and determine the storage position where the current specimen should be placed. The identification code can be displayed on the display screen to adjust the image corresponding to the identification code; it can also be set as a fixed and non-changeable image. The specific setting and adjustment shall be based on the actual application requirements.

[0098] Specifically, the display control component 73 in some embodiments includes a bracket 731, a mounting plate 732, a display screen 733 and a control board 734. The bracket 731 is arranged on the box body 1, and the bracket 731 plays the role of installing and fixing the mounting plate 732. The mounting plate 732 is arranged on the bracket 731, and the mounting plate 732 plays the role of fixing the bracket.

[0099] The display screen 733 is disposed on the mounting plate 732, the display screen 733 is electrically connected to the controller 72, and the display screen 733 is used to display corresponding data information. The control board 734 is disposed on the mounting plate 732, the control board 734 is electrically connected to the controller 72, and the control board 734 is used to issue instructions to the controller 72, and the controller 72 controls the corresponding components to perform corresponding work after receiving the instructions.

[0100] It can be understood that the bracket 731 can be composed of a plurality of parts that play a supporting and connecting role, and the parts can be relatively movable, so that the mounting plate 732 can be adjusted to a suitable use position relative to the box 1, thereby improving the convenience of operation. The mounting plate 732 can also be connected to the bracket 731 through a hinge, a rotating shaft or other rotating structure to further improve the flexibility of the mounting plate 732, so that the mounting plate 732 can drive the display screen 733 and the control panel 734 to tilt together toward the predetermined operation direction, thereby further improving the convenience of operation.

[0101] It is also understandable that the display screen 733 can be a screen component capable of displaying images in the prior art, and can also be further configured as a screen component with a touch function. The control board 734 can be a liquid crystal touch panel or a mechanical key or other components capable of having a key function in the prior art.

[0102] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the control device 7 may further include a voice playing module, which may be disposed on the box body 1 or the cover plate 12 , or may be disposed on the mounting plate 732 ; the voice playing module is electrically connected to the controller 72 .

[0103] It can be understood that the controller 72 can control the voice playback module to issue a predetermined segment, which can be used to guide the operator to perform operations, for example, voice prompts the corresponding delivery port of the current specimen, voice prompts the current storage quantity of specimens, or voice prompts the current number of specimens that can be added.

[0104] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the control device 7 may also include a camera disposed on the mounting plate 732 . The position of the camera is higher than the cover plate 12 in the closed state, and the camera is also connected to the controller 72 .

[0105] Understandably, the camera can record the operation process of the person who puts in the specimen, the person who takes out the specimen, and the person who uses the specimen, so that when an error occurs during the specimen transfer process, the source can be traced in time through video information.

[0106] Furthermore, the mounting plate 732 and the bracket 731 can be rotatably connected via a damping mechanism, so that the display screen 733 and the control panel 734 can be rotated to a predetermined angle driven by the mounting plate 732, for example, the display screen 733 and the control panel 734 are tilted toward the delivery port, and the user can deliver the specimen while operating the display control member 73.

[0107] Furthermore, the number of delivery ports 121 can be multiple. During the process of storing a single specimen, only one delivery port 121 can be opened to prevent the user from placing the specimen incorrectly and improve the placement accuracy.

[0108] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the residual germs or microorganisms in the box 1 from contaminating the specimen, the control device 7 in some embodiments also includes a disinfection component 74, which is disposed in the box 1 and connected to a power source.

[0109] It can be understood that the disinfection component 74 can be an ultraviolet disinfection lamp or other components that can perform disinfection functions. According to the set disinfection frequency, the disinfection component 74 is started regularly to disinfect and sterilize the internal space of the box to avoid pollution to the environment and contamination of the specimens placed subsequently by residual pathogens or microorganisms, ensure the accuracy of detection and avoid nosocomial infection; in the medical field, avoid mutual contamination between specimens and the environment to prevent nosocomial infection; specifically, the first movable member 31, the second movable member 41 and the third movable member 51 can rotate at a uniform speed during the disinfection process to fully disinfect the product.

[0110] It can also be understood that during use, when the disinfection component 74 is in the working state, the cover 12 can be controlled to be in a closed and locked state to avoid accidental opening.

[0111] In some embodiments, a plurality of universal wheels may be provided at the bottom of the box 1 to facilitate the movement of the box 1 and improve the convenience of use. For example, when the box 1 needs to be moved for cleaning, the universal wheels can improve the convenience of movement.

[0112] In some embodiments, the control device 7 may further include an alarm module, which is electrically connected to the controller 72 and serves as a warning and alarm.

[0113] It is understandable that the alarm module can be configured as follows: if the specimen transfer personnel miss any specimen during the specimen transfer process, the alarm module will sound an alarm to notify the operator to take away the missed specimen and transfer it. If the specimen is in a full state and cannot further accommodate the specimen, the alarm module works to remind the staff to take away and transfer the specimen. The alarm module can send an alarm message to the communication terminal through the controller 72, remotely prompting the staff to send the sample for inspection in time. More specifically, the alarm message can be sent as a text message, or it can be sent as a reminder for inspection through an APP in the communication terminal.

[0114] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the intelligent specimen storage system 10 may further include a transfer device 8, which is used to transfer and transport specimens in the box. The transfer device 8 may include a lifting mechanism 81, a rotating mechanism 82, a clamping mechanism 83 and a sliding mechanism 84. The lifting mechanism 81 is used to drive the predetermined mechanism or parts to move up and down relative to the box 1. The rotating mechanism 82 is used to drive the predetermined mechanism or parts to rotate relative to the box 1. The clamping mechanism 83 is used to clamp the specimen. The sliding mechanism 84 is used to drive the remaining mechanisms or parts to slide along a predetermined trajectory.

[0115] It can be understood that the lifting mechanism 81, the rotating mechanism 82, the clamping mechanism 83 and the sliding mechanism 84 can be flexibly combined to perform different functions, such as moving the specimen to a predetermined position along different trajectories, and moving parts or mechanisms with certain functions to a predetermined position along different trajectories.

[0116] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the transfer device 8, the lifting mechanism 81 may include a lifting drive 811, a lifting seat 812 and a lifting support plate 813. The lifting drive 811 is disposed in the box body 1, and the lifting drive 811 is used to provide power to the lifting seat 812. The lifting seat 812 is connected to the lifting drive 811 in a driving manner, and is used to drive the lifting support plate 813 to move synchronously. The lifting support plate 813 is used to install other mechanisms or components.

[0117] It should be noted that the lifting drive member 811 can be a motor, and can also drive the lifting seat 812 to move by means of a screw drive. The lifting seat 812 and the lifting support plate 813 can be made in an integrated manner, or can be connected by bolts, buckles or magnetic attraction after being separately processed and formed.

[0118] It can be understood that the lifting mechanism can be configured to be used alone and independently perform a certain function. For example, a through hole is opened in each receiving position for the lifting tray to pass through. When working, the lifting tray passes through or out of the receiving position driven by the lifting seat. Finally, the lifting tray can push the specimens in the receiving position out of the box, so as to achieve the purpose of taking out the corresponding specimens without opening the cover. This function provides the convenience of timely transportation for special small quantities of specimens. For the internal environment of the box for constant temperature storage, it can also avoid large-area heat exchange caused by opening the cover and avoid sudden temperature changes.

[0119] Furthermore, a thermostat can be provided in the box 1, and the thermostat is used to adjust the temperature in the box 1 to a predetermined temperature range. It can be various types of thermostats or temperature adjustment devices in the prior art, for example, the temperature in the box 1 can be kept constant at about 18 degrees Celsius by the thermostat to ensure the preservation freshness of the specimen.

[0120] On the other hand, it can also receive the specimens put in from the delivery port 121 and drive the specimens to reset so that the specimens are placed in the receiving position, thereby preventing the specimens from falling directly into the receiving position at too high a height and causing excessive vibration, thereby improving the receiving and moving stability of the specimens.

[0121] Furthermore, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the lifting mechanism 81 in some embodiments may also include at least one lifting limit member 814 arranged on the lifting support plate 813. The lifting limit member 814 is used to fix the specimen on the lifting support plate 813 to prevent the specimen from rolling, tilting, etc. on the lifting support plate 813, thereby playing a role in positioning the specimen.

[0122] It can be understood that the number of lifting limit members 814 can be set to multiple, and multiple lifting limit members 814 together define a space for accommodating specimens. The specimens located between the lifting limit members 814 can be limited from all directions, thereby preventing the specimens from rolling or tilting.

[0123] It can also be understood that the shape and structure of the lifting limit members 814 can be flexibly set. For example, for specimens whose containers are long cylindrical containers such as test tubes, each lifting limit member 814 can be set to a long strip shape, and each long strip lifting limit member 814 is distributed in a circle, and the interval between two adjacent lifting limit members 814 is equal; in this way, the test tube can be limited from all directions to ensure the stability of the test tube during movement.

[0124] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the lifting limiter 814 may be provided with a placement guide chamfer 8141 at the end.

[0125] It can be understood that when the specimen is inserted between the various lifting limit members 814, the outer wall of the specimen will be aligned with the predetermined position under the guidance of the placement guide chamfer 8141, so that the specimen container can accurately fall into the space surrounded by the various lifting limit members 814, preventing the specimen from shaking or colliding during the transfer process.

[0126] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 82 may include a rotating driving member 821 and a rotating seat 822. The rotating seat 822 is drivingly connected to the rotating driving member 821, and the rotating seat 822 is used to drive other mechanisms or parts to rotate in the original direction when the rotating driving member 821 drives.

[0127] It is understandable that the rotating drive member 821 can be a motor or a cylinder. The rotating seat 822 can be provided with screw holes or buckles and other structures for the predetermined parts or mechanisms to be installed and fixed. Of course, the parts and other mechanisms can also be fixed to the rotating seat 822 by welding.

[0128] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding mechanism 84 may include a sliding drive 841 and a sliding seat 842. The sliding seat 842 is drivingly connected to the sliding drive 841, and the sliding seat 842 can slide along a predetermined direction under the drive of the sliding drive 841.

[0129] It can be understood that the sliding drive member 841 can be a motor or a cylinder. When a motor is used as the sliding drive member 841, the sliding drive member 841 can drive the sliding seat 842 to slide through a screw drive structure; when a cylinder is used as the sliding drive member 841, the sliding seat 842 can be directly connected to the cylinder telescopic shaft of the sliding drive member 841. In this way, the sliding seat 842 can be driven to slide in a predetermined direction.

[0130] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 83 may include a clamping drive 831 and a clamping jaw 832 ; the clamping drive 831 is drivingly connected to the clamping jaw 832 , and the clamping jaw 832 is used to clamp the specimen under the drive of the clamping drive 831 .

[0131] It is understandable that the clamping drive 831 can be configured as a clamping cylinder to drive the clamping jaw 832, and the cylinder has the advantage of being easy to install. The clamping drive 831 can also be configured as a motor to drive the clamping jaw 832. When the motor is working, it takes up less space together with the cables required for its work, and can drive the clamping jaw 832 to move with higher precision. The clamping opening of the clamping jaw 832 can be flexibly adjusted. When working, the clamping drive 831 drives the clamping jaw 832 to close or open, thereby clamping or releasing the specimen.

[0132] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the clamping mechanism 83, two relatively disposed arc-shaped clamping members 833 may be provided on the clamping jaw 832. The arc-shaped clamping members 833 are used to connect with the outer wall of the specimen to increase the effective area of ​​the clamping force applied by the clamping jaw 832 to the specimen, thereby avoiding damage to the specimen during the clamping process.

[0133] It is understandable that the arc-shaped clamping member 833 can be made of flexible materials such as flexible rubber, sponge, etc. The arc of the arc-shaped clamping member 833 is adapted to the outer wall contour of the specimen, further increasing the area of ​​action of the clamping force on the specimen.

[0134] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the transfer device 8, the clamping mechanism 83 has at least the following implementation modes:

[0135] First, the clamping driving member 831 is disposed on the lifting support plate 813 of the lifting mechanism 81 , and the lifting support plate 813 drives the clamping driving member 831 to move to a predetermined height, so that the clamping claw 832 can clamp the specimen at the predetermined height.

[0136] Second, Figure 8 In the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 83 is disposed on the rotating seat 822 of the rotating mechanism 82, and the rotating seat 822 drives the clamping driving member 831 to rotate to a predetermined angle, so that the clamping claw 832 can clamp specimens at different angles.

[0137] Thirdly, the clamping mechanism 83 is disposed on the sliding seat 842 of the sliding mechanism 84, and the sliding seat 842 drives the clamping driving member 831 to slide to a predetermined position, so that the clamping claw 832 can clamp the specimen at a farther distance in the same direction.

[0138] Fourth, Fig. 9 In the figure, the clamping mechanism 83 is arranged on the sliding seat 842 of the sliding mechanism 84, and the sliding drive member 841 is arranged on the lifting support plate 813. In this way, the lifting mechanism 81 and the sliding mechanism 84 can respectively drive the clamping mechanism 83 to move in two directions, that is, the movable range of the clamping claw 832 is expanded in two directions, which effectively improves the flexibility of specimen transfer.

[0139] Fifth, the clamping mechanism 83 is disposed on the sliding seat 842 of the sliding mechanism 84, and the sliding driving member 841 is disposed on the rotating seat 822. Thus, the rotating mechanism 82 serves to adjust the angle of the clamping jaw 832, and the sliding mechanism 84 serves to extend the movable range of the clamping jaw 832 in a directional manner.

[0140] Of course, the connection relationship between the clamping mechanism 83 in the transfer device 8 and other mechanisms also has other implementations, which can be adjusted specifically depending on the movement range that the clamping claw 832 needs to meet and the space available for movement inside the box.

[0141] Furthermore, the various mechanisms within the transfer device 8 can also be set on the side wall or outside of the box. If it is set outside, it can prevent the transfer device 8 from colliding or interfering with the contents of the box 1. If it is set inside, the various mechanisms can be protected to prevent the box 1 and its contents from occupying too much space as a whole.

[0142] The intelligent specimen storage system of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0143] The intelligent specimen storage system of the present invention relates to the technical field of specimen detection. A cover plate with a delivery port is provided on a box body, a first receiving position is provided on a first movable part, and a second receiving position is provided on a second movable part, and the first movable part and the second movable part are further driven by a power device to rotate or move to a predetermined position, so that the first receiving position and the second receiving position are aligned with the delivery port. In this way, on the one hand, the specimen can be directly placed on the first movable part or the second movable part through the cover plate, so that medical staff can regularly and quantitatively take away the specimens located in the box body, without the need for separate medical staff to be on standby at any time or to sort and place the specimens, thereby reducing manpower consumption and improving detection efficiency. The cover plate and the box body are adapted to each other to avoid exposure of the specimen, reduce the risk of contamination of the specimen, and avoid the theft and loss of the specimen.

[0144] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
