In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used for differentiation in description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging" and the like do not mean that the components must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is relatively more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.

[0027] In the description of the present application, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrange", "install", "connect", "connect" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements.

[0028] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] In the in-vitro diagnostic device, there are sample feeding, incubation, oscillation, sample feeding, cleaning and other steps, each step corresponds to at least one device, and multiple grippers, and the sample reaction tube is transferred between the devices through different grippers. Because the working time of each device and the time for transferring the sample reaction tube are different; for example, if there is a gripper or card placing action during incubation and oscillation, the incubation and oscillation turntable stops oscillation and waits for the gripper or card placing to be completed before oscillation again. In this way, the incubation and oscillation turntable exists constantly stop, start, stop, start, which leads to very low running efficiency. Moreover, it is not conducive to calculating the actual working time of each step, and cannot guarantee the stability and consistency of sample processing.

[0030] For example, the action time of the incubation and oscillation and the gripper component configuration is inconsistent: assuming that each sample needs to undergo 50 times of incubation and oscillation, each time 12s, and because the time of each gripper action is inconsistent, the total oscillation time after 50 times of oscillation is inconsistent.

[0031] Or during incubation and oscillation, if there is a gripper or card placing action, the incubation and oscillation turntable stops oscillation and waits for the gripper or card placing to be completed before oscillation again. In this way, the incubation and oscillation turntable exists constantly stop, start, stop, start, which leads to very low running efficiency, resulting in poor consistency of samples.

[0032] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method and device for an in-vitro diagnostic device and an electronic device, which will be described below through embodiments.

[0033] Embodiment one

[0034] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method for an in-vitro diagnostic device, which is applied to a controller of the in-vitro diagnostic device, and the in-vitro diagnostic device comprises: a controller, a plurality of turntables and a plurality of mechanical hands; referring to Figure 1The embodiment of the application shown provides a structural schematic diagram of an in-vitro diagnostic device, a plurality of rotating discs including: a sample rotating disc 1, a washing one disc 2, a washing two disc 3 and an incubation oscillation rotating disc 15, a plurality of mechanical arms including: a first mechanical arm 7, a second mechanical arm 8 and a third mechanical arm 9; the first mechanical arm 7 is used for transferring a sample on the sample rotating disc 1 to the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15, the second mechanical arm 8 is used for transferring a reaction tube between the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15 and the washing one disc 2, and the third mechanical arm 9 is used for transferring the reaction tube on the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15 to the washing two disc 3.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 The embodiment of the application shown provides a flow chart of a control method of an in-vitro diagnostic device, the control method including:

[0036] Step S102, determining an idle time length and a first action time length;

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment provided by the application, the working actions of the in-vitro diagnostic device mainly include actions of a plurality of mechanical arms and actions of a plurality of rotating discs, in order to ensure the consistency of the action time, the idle time length and the first action time length are set, for example, each rotating disc is set to rotate once every 12 seconds, and the 12 seconds are divided into the idle time length and the first action time length, and the specific division time length is determined by user experience, generally, the idle time length is set to 3 seconds, and the first action time length is set to 9 seconds.

[0038] Step S104, controlling the mechanical arm to perform a preset action in the idle time length;

[0039] Specifically, each mechanical arm performs its own action in the idle time length, for example, in the in-vitro diagnostic device provided by the embodiment of the application shown Figure 1 The action of the mechanical arm includes: the first mechanical arm 7 transfers a sample on the sample rotating disc 1 to the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15, the second mechanical arm 8 transfers a reaction tube from the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15 to the washing one disc 2, the second mechanical arm 8 moves the washed reaction tube from the washing one disc 2 to the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15, and the third mechanical arm 9 transfers the reaction tube on the incubation oscillation rotating disc 15 to the washing two disc 3; the actions of the above mechanical arms are all performed in the idle time length.

[0040] Step S106, judging whether the mechanical arm completes the preset action in the idle time length;

[0041] Specifically, theoretically, each manipulator needs to perform the above-mentioned action once after each turn of the turntable, but in practice, this is not the case. For example, when the in-vitro diagnostic device is just started, there are no reaction tubes on the incubation oscillation turntable 15 that need to be transferred to the washing one turntable 2 or the washing two turntable 3 for incubation oscillation completion, or during the operation of the device, there is no reaction tube at a certain position on the incubation oscillation turntable 15 that needs to be transferred to the washing one turntable 2 or the washing two turntable 3, so in some special cases, not all manipulators need to perform all the above-mentioned actions.

[0042] Step S108, obtaining the total number of times that all manipulators need to complete the preset action within the idle time length;

[0043] Further, the total number of times that all manipulators need to complete the preset action within the idle time length is obtained. Specifically, when each turntable in the device rotates to a new position, it is first necessary to determine the number of actions that the manipulator needs to perform at this position. If one action is counted as 1 for the manipulator, if it is detected that the first manipulator 7 needs to transfer the sample on the sample turntable 1 to the incubation oscillation turntable 15, and other manipulators have no action, then the action count is 1. If it is detected that all 4 actions of the above manipulators need to be performed, then the action count is 4, i.e. the total number of times is 4.

[0044] Step S110, determining whether the number of times that the manipulator completes the preset action is equal to the total number of times, and whether the time length of the manipulator completing the total number of times of the preset action is within the idle time length;

[0045] Further, it is determined whether the number of times that the manipulator completes the preset action is equal to the total number of times. Specifically, it is determined whether each manipulator completes the preset action within the idle time length of 3 seconds. If one manipulator does not complete one action, the action count is reduced by 1, until the action count is 0. It is considered that the manipulator has completed all the preset actions. For example, the action to be completed within the idle time length is 4, i.e. the action count is 4. If the first manipulator 7 transfers the sample on the sample turntable 1 to the incubation oscillation turntable 15 at this time, it is considered that the first manipulator 7 has completed one action, and the action count is reduced by 1. At this time, the action count is 3. If the action count is reduced to 0 within the idle time length of 3 seconds, it is considered that each manipulator has completed the preset action within the idle time length.

[0046] Step S112, if the manipulator completes the preset action within the idle time length, controlling each turntable to perform the corresponding action within the first action time length;

[0047] Specifically, after the robot is detected to complete the preset action within the idle time length in the step S106, the control of each turntable is executed within the first time length, the action of the sample turntable 1 is to rotate to the next sample position, the action of the incubation oscillation turntable 15 is to start oscillation, and the actions of the washing turntable 1 and the washing turntable 2 are to start washing the reagent in the reaction tube.

[0048] Further, if at least one robot does not complete the preset action within the idle time length, the waiting for all robots to complete the preset action is continued, and the first action time length is adjusted to ensure the consistency of the action of the equipment. For example, if the second robot 8 does not complete all actions within 3 seconds, the equipment does not start to control the action of each turntable, and the second robot 8 needs to continue to complete the preset action, and the time when all robots complete all actions is taken as the first time length. For example, when the second robot 8 completes all preset actions within 3.5 seconds, 3.5 seconds is taken as the first time length, and 8.5 seconds obtained by subtracting 3.5 seconds from 12 seconds is taken as the adjusted first action time length. In this way, within the period of 12 seconds, each robot and each turntable still maintain synchronization, and the action of each robot and each turntable in the subsequent period is not affected. The problem that the incubation oscillation turntable 15 cannot oscillate when the gripper is grasped or taken is solved, and the incubation oscillation turntable 15 closely cooperates with the gripper to leave more time for the incubation oscillation.

[0049] The application provides a control method of an in-vitro diagnostic equipment, which is applied to a controller of the in-vitro diagnostic equipment, and the in-vitro diagnostic equipment comprises a controller, a plurality of turntables and a plurality of robots. The control method of the in-vitro diagnostic equipment comprises the following steps: determining an idle time length and a first action time length; controlling the robots to execute preset actions within the idle time length; judging whether the robots complete the preset actions within the idle time length; if the robots complete the preset actions within the idle time length, controlling each turntable to execute a corresponding action within the first action time length. By setting the idle time length and the first action time length, the robots are controlled to execute actions within the idle time length, and each turntable is controlled to execute a corresponding action within the first action time length, so that the consistency of the action of the equipment is improved, the consistency of the oscillation incubation time of each group of samples is improved, the efficiency is improved, and the user experience is improved.

[0050] Embodiment two

[0051] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the application provides another control method of an in-vitro diagnostic equipment, which is shown in the flowchart of another in-vitro diagnostic method provided by the application. Figure 3 The flowchart of another in-vitro diagnostic method provided by the application is shown in the following figure.

[0052] In step S202, the idle time length and the first action time length are determined.

[0053] Step S204, controlling the robot to perform the preset action within the idle duration;

[0054] Step S206, determining that the number of times the robot completes the preset action is equal to the total number of times, and taking the duration of the robot completing the total number of preset actions as the first duration;

[0055] Specifically, it is necessary to determine that all robots complete their own preset actions, and the time when all robots complete all actions is taken as the first duration, for example, when all robots complete all preset actions at 3.5 seconds, 3.5 seconds is taken as the first duration, of course, the first duration can also be 2 seconds or time.

[0056] Step S208, determining whether the first duration is greater than the idle duration;

[0057] Specifically, the first duration is compared with the preset idle duration, for example, if the first duration is 2 seconds, obviously 2 seconds is less than the preset idle duration 3 seconds, then step S210 is continued; if the first duration is 3.5 seconds, at this time the first duration is greater than the idle duration, so the first action time needs to be adjusted.

[0058] Step S210, controlling each turntable to perform the corresponding action within the first action duration;

[0059] Step S212, adjusting the first action duration based on the first duration and the idle duration;

[0060] Specifically, 3.5 seconds is taken as the first duration, 12 seconds is taken as the standard detection duration, and 8.5 seconds obtained by subtracting 3.5 seconds from 12 seconds is taken as the adjusted first action duration, so within this 12-second period, each robot and each turntable still maintains synchronization and does not affect the subsequent action of each robot and each turntable.

[0061] Step S214, controlling each turntable to perform the corresponding action within the adjusted first action duration.

[0062] Further, the above method is a method for adjusting the idle duration and the first action duration in a single period, in actual production process, the first duration may exceed the idle duration frequently, therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem once and for all, therefore, after adjusting the idle duration and the first action duration, the adjusted idle duration and the first action duration are sent to each turntable, so that each turntable performs the action according to the adjusted first action time.

[0063] The embodiment of the application provides a plurality of methods for adjusting the idle time, including:

[0064] The first method, a preset number threshold is set in advance, if the number of times that the first duration is greater than the idle duration exceeds the preset number threshold, the longest first duration is taken as the adjusted idle duration. For example, the preset number can be 3 times, the idle duration is still set to 3 seconds, when there are 4 times of first duration exceeding 3 seconds, for example, the 4 times of first duration are 3.5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3.5 seconds and 5 seconds, the average of the 4 times of first duration is taken as the adjusted idle duration, i.e. 4 seconds is the adjusted idle duration. Similarly, 150 ÷ 4 = 37.5 steps, and 38 steps are taken as the action steps of the device. Generally, the total incubation time requirement is 600 seconds, and 600 ÷ 38 ≈ 15.79 seconds is taken as the standard detection duration, 15.79 - 4 = 11.79 seconds is taken as the adjusted first duration, and the adjusted total oscillation duration is 11.79 × 38 = 448.02 seconds, which has little difference with the adjusted 450 seconds, and has little effect on sample incubation oscillation.

[0065] The second method, the same preset number threshold is set in advance, if the number of times that the first duration is greater than the idle duration exceeds the preset number threshold, the longest first duration is taken as the adjusted idle duration. For example, the preset number can be 3 times, the idle duration is still set to 3 seconds, when there are 4 times of first duration exceeding 3 seconds, for example, the 4 times of first duration are 3.5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3.5 seconds and 5 seconds, the average of the 4 times of first duration is taken as the adjusted idle duration, i.e. 4 seconds is the adjusted idle duration. Similarly, 150 ÷ 4 = 37.5 steps, and 38 steps are taken as the action steps of the device. Generally, the total incubation time requirement is 600 seconds, and 600 ÷ 38 ≈ 15.79 seconds is taken as the standard detection duration, 15.79 - 4 = 11.79 seconds is taken as the adjusted first duration, and the adjusted total oscillation duration is 11.79 × 38 = 448.02 seconds, which has little difference with the adjusted 450 seconds, and has little effect on sample incubation oscillation.

[0066] The third method, a idle duration correction set is established in advance, the set includes a plurality of correction idle durations, the correction idle duration can be the value of the measured first duration greater than the idle duration, or an experienced value set by the technician according to the past data, the correction set can also include the rotation steps corresponding to each correction idle duration, of course, the rotation steps can also be calculated according to the adjusted idle duration.

[0067] For example, the same preset number threshold is set, if the number of times that the first time length is greater than the idle time length exceeds the preset number threshold, the first time length with the longest time length is taken as the adjusted idle time length. For example, the preset number can be 3, and the idle time length is still set to 3 seconds. When the first time length exceeds 3 seconds for 4 times, for example, the first time length is 3.5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3.5 seconds and 5 seconds respectively, the average value of the above-mentioned 4 first time lengths is taken as the second average value, and the second average value is taken as the reference value for searching the corrected idle time length. In the correction set, the corrected idle time length close to the second average value is searched as the adjusted idle time length. Further, the adjusted first action time length and the action step number can be calculated according to the method in method one and method two, or the adjusted first action time length can be calculated according to the preset step number in the idle time length correction set.

[0068] The fourth method, like the third method, the idle time length correction set is pre-established in the same way. The difference between the third method is that the first time length with the longest time length in the plurality of first time lengths is taken as the reference value, and the corrected idle time length close to the first time length with the longest time length is searched in the pre-established idle time length correction set as the adjusted idle time length.

[0069] It should be emphasized that in the third method and the fourth method, the corrected idle time length greater than the reference value is generally selected as the adjusted idle time length. In this document, close means that the absolute value of the difference between two parameters is minimum.

[0070] Further, the sum of the idle time length and the first action time length is the standard counting time length. The adjusted idle time length, the adjusted rotation step number and the adjusted first action time length are sent to each turntable. After the current time incubation oscillation turntable in all the reaction cups is processed, the adjusted standard counting time length is executed.

[0071] Further, in the actual production process, if it is detected that the first time length idle time length is less than the idle time length in a plurality of cycles (which can be set to 100 cycles) of device operation, the idle time length can be appropriately reduced to improve efficiency.

[0072] Further, the fourth mechanical hand 10 transfers the sample from the washing two disc 3 to the interpretation module 13, and the interpretation time of the interpretation module is 36s. The placement of the reaction tube on the sample turntable 1, the incubation oscillation turntable 15, the washing one disc 2 and the washing two disc 3 is interval placement, that is, one position of adjacent positions has a reaction tube, and one position is empty.

[0073] Further, the washing second disc 3 rotates counterclockwise, the position of the fourth mechanical arm 10 is set in front of the operating position of the third mechanical arm 9, the washing second disc 3 rotates to the position of the fourth mechanical arm 10 first, the sample to be judged is taken away, and a position is emptied, when rotating to the position of the third mechanical arm 9, the reaction tube is taken out from the incubation oscillation turntable 15 and placed in the empty position, thereby improving the use efficiency of each empty position.
