[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The sample cleaning method of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a sample detection system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sample detection system can be provided with a test area 101, a storage area 102, an equipment area 103 and a conveying device (not shown), wherein the test area 101 is used to place samples to be detected, and the samples are generally placed in test tubes, and the test tubes are placed in test tube racks. The storage area 102 is used to store samples that have been tested or to recover invalid samples. The equipment area is used to test the samples to be tested, including multiple cascaded detectors, such as a first detector 1031, a second detector 1032 and a third detector 1033. The conveying device includes multiple conveyor belts and driving devices arranged in each area, and adjacent conveyor belts are connected to each other. Photoelectric sensors and baffle motors are arranged next to the conveyor belts. The sample detection system controls the operation of the conveying device to control the transportation of the sample.

[0029] For example, the process of transporting the sample from the first detector 1031 to the second detector 1032 includes the following steps: when the photoelectric sensor located at the output port of the first detector 1031 detects the output sample, the driving device drives the conveyor belt to move the sample; when the opposing photoelectric sensor located at the input port of the second detector 1032 detects the sample, the baffle motor located at the second detector 1032 is turned on to prevent the sample from continuing to move, and then the belt of the second detector 1032 transports the sample to the second detector 1032.

[0030] It should be noted that the number of detectors is only given as an example. Specifically, different numbers and models of detectors can be configured according to actual testing needs. A manipulator or transfer device can also be configured as needed so that samples can be smoothly transported to various areas.

[0031] In addition, the sample detection system is also equipped with a terminal for storing data obtained from each area and sending operation instructions to each area, so that the detectors can not only complete tasks independently, but also work together to complete the detection projects.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a sample cleaning method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case where a sample is detected on multiple different detectors. The method can be executed by a sample cleaning device. The sample cleaning device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured in a computer device, such as a host of a sample detection system. The sample cleaning method specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] S201. For each conveyor belt, check whether there are any remaining samples on the conveyor belt.

[0035] Samples are blood, tissue or other types of samples taken from patients for testing related test items. Leftover samples are samples left on the conveyor belt due to abnormal conditions such as conveyor belt slippage and system power outage. Generally speaking, when samples are left on the conveyor belt, when other samples need to pass, they may collide with other samples or prevent the transportation of other samples. In serious cases, samples may be damaged or contaminated. Therefore, before starting to test samples, after the sample test is completed or during the test, the samples left on the conveyor belt can be checked and cleaned.

[0036] The conveyor belt transports samples through the friction between the conveyor belt surface and the samples. Each area is equipped with at least one conveyor belt, and the conveyor belts in adjacent areas can be connected to each other. The sample detection system controls the running speed and direction of the conveyor belt by controlling the operation of the driving device to control the transportation of the sample. It should be noted that the running directions of different conveyor belts can be different and will not affect each other.

[0037] A photoelectric sensor is arranged next to the conveyor belt. The photoelectric sensor is a device that converts light signals into electrical signals. When the sample passes through the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor, its light signal changes, which means that the sample can be determined to be detected. Therefore, the photoelectric sensor can be used to detect whether there are any remaining samples on the conveyor belt. If so, step S202 is executed.

[0038] S202, transport the remaining samples to the nearest first detector.

[0039] The detector refers to the instrument and equipment used to detect samples, including the required software. Generally speaking, different types of detectors are targeted at specific test items, but the inspection items targeted by different types of detectors may also overlap. Among them, the scope of the sample's test items should be within the scope of the test items targeted by the detector.

[0040] When it is detected that there are leftover samples on the conveyor belt, the leftover samples can be removed from the conveyor belt at the current position and processed. Generally speaking, the area or span of the equipment area in the entire sample detection system is generally larger. Therefore, when the leftover samples are on the conveyor belt, their position is usually closer to the equipment area. In addition, there are generally multiple detectors in the equipment area, which can simultaneously receive leftover samples on the conveyor belts at different positions. Therefore, when leftover samples are detected, the leftover samples can be transported to the first detector that is closest. This transportation method is simple and efficient, and greatly reduces the time of sample transportation.

[0041] A waiting area may also be provided in the detector, and the waiting area is used to store a preset number of samples, further increasing the number of leftover samples that the detector can accommodate.

[0042] S203. Scan the barcode of the remaining sample to obtain the remaining time of the remaining sample.

[0043] Samples are usually blood, tissue, etc. Even in a sterile testing environment, samples may become invalid after being exposed to the air for a period of time, and the credibility of the test results will be reduced. Therefore, invalid samples can be recovered without testing, while valid samples can continue to be tested.

[0044] Since in the embodiment of the present invention, the inspection and cleaning of the remaining samples can be before, during and after the detection of the samples, the remaining time of the remaining samples is uncertain. Therefore, the remaining time of the remaining samples can be obtained by the detector.

[0045] A barcode is affixed to the test tube containing the sample. By scanning the barcode, you can obtain the sample information, which may include delivery time, sample number, test items, patient information, sample type, etc.

[0046] When the remaining samples are transported to the first detector, the remaining samples can be cleaned up according to the sample information of the remaining samples. Correspondingly, a scanning device is provided in the detector. When the samples are transported to the detector, the barcode of the samples is scanned by the scanning device. After obtaining the sample information of the samples, the system can obtain the remaining time of the remaining samples according to the transport time and the current time in the sample information. In addition, the detection time information item can also be set in the sample information. The detection time is the time period from the output of the sample from the test area to the current time. The detection time can be used as the remaining time of the remaining samples and can be directly obtained from the sample information.

[0047] S204: clean up the remaining samples according to the remaining time.

[0048] Among them, cleaning refers to the process of handling leftover samples by determining whether they need to be tested, and finally transporting the leftover samples to the storage area.

[0049] When the legacy time of the legacy sample is obtained, the legacy sample can be cleaned up according to the legacy time. Specifically, the time for sample failure can be preset. When the legacy time is greater than the preset sample failure time, the legacy sample is determined to be failed, and the legacy sample does not need to be tested but can be recycled. When the legacy time is less than the preset sample failure time, the legacy sample is determined to be valid, and the legacy sample can be tested to obtain the test result. This embodiment cleans up the legacy samples according to the legacy time, avoids wasting detection resources and detection time by testing failed samples, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the legacy samples.

[0050] The sample cleaning method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the sample detection system. For each conveyor belt, it is detected whether there are residual samples on the conveyor belt. If so, the residual samples are transported to the nearest first detector, the barcode of the residual sample is scanned, the residual time of the residual sample is obtained, and the residual sample is cleaned according to the residual time. The embodiment of the present invention adopts the principle of proximity, transports the residual samples to the nearest first detector and cleans them according to the residual time. There is no need to uniformly transfer the residual samples to the recovery area and then sort the residual samples, which saves the transportation time of the residual samples and improves the cleaning efficiency of the residual samples.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a sample cleaning method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is optimized on the basis of Embodiment 1. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0053] S301. For each conveyor belt, check whether there are any remaining samples on the conveyor belt.

[0054] Samples are blood, tissue or other types of samples taken from patients for testing related test items. Residual samples are samples left on the conveyor belt due to abnormal conditions such as conveyor belt slippage and system power outage that have not been fully transported.

[0055] A photoelectric sensor and a baffle motor are provided next to the conveyor belt. A photoelectric sensor is provided next to the conveyor belt. The photoelectric sensor is a device that converts light signals into electrical signals. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect whether there is a sample in its detection area. When the sample passes through the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor, its light signal changes, which means that the sample is detected. The baffle motor is used to block the transportation of the sample. The baffle motor is controlled by the sample detection system to keep the sample in the target area. For example, when the sample at A is to be transported to B, the system controls to turn on the baffle motor at B. When the sample is transported to B, even if the conveyor belt is still running, the sample will be blocked at B.

[0056] Therefore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, for each conveyor belt, it is detected whether there are any leftover samples on the conveyor belt, including: operating the conveying device to transport the leftover samples on the conveyor belt to the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor, turning on the baffle motor to make the leftover samples stay in the detection area, and for each conveyor belt, detecting whether there are leftover samples on the conveyor belt by judging whether there are leftover samples in the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor. If it indicates that there are leftover samples on the conveyor belt, execute step S302.

[0057] S302, transport the remaining samples to the nearest first detector.

[0058] The detector refers to the instrument and equipment used to detect samples, and also includes the software required.

[0059] When it is detected that there are leftover samples on the conveyor belt, the leftover samples can be removed from the conveyor belt at the current position and processed. Generally speaking, the area or span of the equipment area in the entire sample detection system is generally larger. Therefore, when the leftover samples are on the conveyor belt, their position is usually closer to the equipment area. In addition, there are generally multiple detectors in the equipment area, which can simultaneously receive leftover samples on the conveyor belts at different positions. Therefore, when leftover samples are detected, the leftover samples can be transported to the first detector that is closest. This transportation method is simple and efficient, and greatly reduces the time of sample transportation.

[0060] A waiting area may also be provided in the detector, and the waiting area is used to store a preset number of samples, further increasing the number of leftover samples that the detector can accommodate.

[0061] S303. Scan the barcode on the remaining sample to obtain the delivery time of the remaining sample.

[0062] Since in an embodiment of the present invention, the inspection and cleaning of leftover samples can be carried out before, during and after the start of sample testing, and the time when the samples enter the sample testing system is different, the transportation time of the leftover samples from the test area is also uncertain. Therefore, the transportation time of the leftover samples can be obtained by the detector to determine the length of time the leftover samples remain in the sample testing system.

[0063] A barcode is affixed to the test tube containing the sample. The sample information can be obtained by scanning the barcode with a scanning device in the detector. The sample information may include delivery time, sample number, test item, patient information, sample type, etc.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, an IC card is further provided on the test tube rack, and the IC card is used to store the test tube rack information, the test tube rack information includes the test tube rack number, sample type, etc., and the test tube rack information and the sample information are stored in association in the system terminal, that is, if one of the information is known, the other information associated with it can be queried. Correspondingly, an RFID and a scanning device can be provided at the output port of the test area, the RFID can read the test tube rack information in the IC card, and the scanning device can scan the sample test tube to obtain the sample information. Therefore, when the sample is output from the test area, the RFID and the scanning device located at the output port of the test area can respectively obtain the test tube rack information and the sample information, that is, the transportation time in the sample information can be obtained through the above two types of information.

[0065] S304: Use the interval between the current time and the delivery time as the legacy duration of the legacy sample.

[0066] The delivery time when the sample enters the sample detection system is used as the starting time, and the moment when the scanner obtains the delivery time of the sample is used as the current time, and the interval between the current time and the delivery time can be used as the legacy time of the legacy sample. Of course, the sampling time when the sample is collected from the patient can also be obtained from the sample detection system, and the sampling time can be used as the starting time for calculating the legacy time. The present invention is not limited to this.

[0067] S305: Determine whether the remaining time is less than the preset time.

[0068] Samples are usually of the type of blood, tissue, etc. Even in a sterile testing environment, samples may become invalid after being exposed to the air for a period of time, and the credibility of the test results will be reduced. Therefore, for legacy samples that are determined to be invalid, they can be recovered without testing, while for legacy samples that are still valid, testing can continue.

[0069] The preset duration is a time period set to determine whether the legacy sample is valid. Therefore, whether the legacy sample is valid can be determined by determining whether the legacy duration is less than the preset duration. If so, execute steps S306-S308, otherwise execute step S308.

[0070] S306: Determine whether there are any unfinished test items for the remaining samples.

[0071] When the legacy time is less than the preset time, it means that the legacy sample is valid, and the sample can be tested. First, it can be determined whether there are any unfinished test items in the legacy sample.

[0072] The test items are relevant test contents formulated according to the patient's condition, such as blood routine, urine routine, liver function, etc. Generally speaking, in order to accurately and comprehensively judge the patient's condition, the number of test items may be one or more.

[0073] The remaining samples may be samples that have been tested, or samples that have not been tested or have only been tested for some of the test items. Therefore, before testing the remaining samples, the unfinished test items of the remaining samples can be obtained first. If there are unfinished test items, after the test items are tested, they are transported to the storage area, and steps S307-S308 can be executed: after the test items are tested, the remaining samples are transported to the storage area; if the test items have been completed, no further testing is required, and step S308 can be executed: transport the remaining samples to the storage area.

[0074] S307, testing the test items.

[0075] When there are unfinished test items for the remaining samples, the test items can be tested. Since each detector is generally only for one or more specific test items, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, testing the test items of the valid remaining samples includes the following steps:

[0076] S401, determining whether there is a first detection item in the detection items that matches the first detection instrument.

[0077] Since each detector is generally only for one or more specific detection items, when the legacy sample is in the first detector, it is possible to first determine whether there is a first detection item matching the first detector among the detection items of the legacy sample, that is, a detection item that can be detected in the first detector, to determine whether the first detector can be used to detect at least one detection item of the legacy sample. If so, execute S402-S404, if not, execute S403-S404.

[0078] S402, testing the first test item of the remaining sample.

[0079] If there is a first detection item matching the first detection instrument in the detection items, the first detection item can be detected by the first detection instrument.

[0080] S403: Determine a second inspection item other than the first inspection item.

[0081] Since the first test may only be for testing some test items of the remaining samples, the other test items are second test items. After testing the first test items, the second test items need to be tested. Therefore, the remaining second test items can be confirmed.

[0082] When the number of the first detection items is 0, the second detection items are all the detection items of the remaining samples.

[0083] S404: transport the remaining sample from the first detector to a second detector for detecting a second detection item, so as to detect the second detection item.

[0084] The number of second detection items may be one or more, and the number of detection instruments that can be used to detect the second detection items may also be one or more. Therefore, it is possible to first determine the detection instrument that can be used to detect the second detection item, and then transport the remaining samples from the first detection instrument to the second detection instrument used to detect the second detection item for testing. This can not only complete the testing of all detection items, but also save transportation time.

[0085] This embodiment detects the first detection items that can be matched with the first detection instrument, and then transmits the remaining second detection items to the second detection instrument used to detect the second detection items for detection, thereby achieving efficient and orderly detection of unfinished detection items and improving the efficiency of cleaning up residual samples.

[0086] In this step, when the first detection item is all the detection items, there is no need to determine the second detection item and detect the second detection item, that is, there is no need to implement steps S403-S404, but in most cases, the first detector can only detect some detection items of the remaining samples. Therefore, the above steps S403-S404 are to meet the detection needs in most cases, but cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0087] S308, transport the remaining samples to the storage area.

[0088] The storage area is used to store samples after testing, so that operators can centrally process the remaining samples after testing. It also provides smooth transportation convenience for the detectors and transportation channels, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning up the remaining samples.

[0089] On the one hand, when the carryover time is greater than the preset time, it indicates that the carryover sample is invalid, and there is no need to test the sample. The carryover sample can be recycled, that is, the carryover sample is transported from the first detector to the storage area.

[0090] On the other hand, after confirming that all test items of the remaining samples have been completed, the remaining samples can also be transported to the storage area. The completion of all test items here is divided into two situations. One is that the test of the remaining samples has been completed when the remaining samples are detected, and the other is that all test items have been completed after the unfinished test items of the remaining samples are tested.

[0091] Since there may be multiple left-over samples at the same time and adjacent conveyor belts are interconnected, the left-over samples on the conveyor belts farther away from the storage area need to pass through the conveyor belts closer to the storage area when returning to the storage area. Therefore, in the process of transporting the left-over samples to the storage area, although the positions of the left-over samples are different, the time when they are transported from the first detector may be different. During the transportation process, they may meet in the transportation channel and collide, etc. Therefore, the order in which the left-over samples are transported to the storage area can be set.

[0092] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, for each first detector, the distance from the first detector to the storage area is obtained, and the order of conveying the remaining samples is obtained according to the distance, and the remaining samples in the first detector are conveyed to the storage area according to the conveying order. The remaining samples can be conveyed to the storage area efficiently and orderly, reducing accidents caused by sample collision.

[0093] The sample cleaning method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to the sample detection system. For each conveyor belt, it is detected whether there are residual samples on the conveyor belt. If so, the residual samples are transported to the nearest first detector, the barcode on the residual sample is scanned, the residual time of the residual sample is obtained, and the residual sample is cleaned according to the residual time. By transporting the residual samples to the nearest first detector and cleaning them according to the residual time, there is no need to uniformly transfer the residual samples to the recycling area and then sort the residual samples, and the invalid residual samples are directly recycled, avoiding wasting time on the detection of invalid samples, saving the transportation time and detection time of the residual samples, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the residual samples.
