[0081] The present application provides an analyzer scheduling method, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the analyzer scheduling method comprises: Figure 1

[0082] S100, obtaining a batch removal instruction;

[0083] The user can press the removal button on the device to enable the analyzer to obtain the batch removal instruction; the user can also input the relevant instruction to enable the analyzer to obtain the batch removal instruction.​​

[0084] S200, controlling the manipulator to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation site where no reagent bottle is placed;

[0085] The manipulator can operate at the idle timing of the reagent storage module, so that the process of controlling the manipulator to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation site where no reagent bottle is placed can be synchronized with the analysis process of the reagent by the analysis module, and the removal of the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module can be realized without stopping the analyzer, thereby saving manpower and ensuring the detection efficiency of the analyzer.

[0086] S300, obtaining empty bottle detection information, and removing the empty reagent bottle in each accommodation site according to the empty bottle detection information;

[0087] According to the empty bottle detection information, the empty reagent bottle in the accommodation site can be removed by the manipulator to the position specified by the user, or the empty reagent bottle can be manually removed from the accommodation site.

[0088] S400, placing the reagent bottles containing reagents in each accommodation site respectively;

[0089] The reagent bottles at the specified position can be moved to the accommodation site by the manipulator, or the reagent bottles containing reagents can be manually moved to the accommodation site.

[0090] S500, controlling the manipulator to move the reagent bottles containing reagents to the empty sites of the reagent storage module.

[0091] When the reagent storage module is at the idle timing, the manipulator is controlled to move the reagent bottles containing reagents to the empty sites of the reagent storage module, thereby realizing automatic loading of the reagent bottles, saving manpower, and ensuring the detection efficiency of the analyzer.

[0092] After obtaining the batch removal instruction, the manipulator is controlled to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation site where no reagent bottle is placed, thereby realizing automatic removal of the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module and saving manpower; then the empty reagent bottle in each accommodation site is removed according to the empty bottle detection information, and the reagent bottles containing reagents are placed in the accommodation sites respectively, and the manipulator is controlled to move the reagent bottles containing reagents to the reagent storage module, thereby realizing automatic loading of the reagent bottles, saving manpower, and not requiring the analyzer to be stopped, so that the analysis efficiency of the analyzer is improved compared with stopping the analyzer and manually removing the empty reagent bottle and manually loading the reagent bottles.

[0093] As shown in Figure 2 The step of S200 includes the following steps before the step of S200:

[0094] S110, control the buffer drive to drive the buffer rack where the reagent bottle is not placed to move, so that each accommodation position passes through the working station, and control the detection mechanism to obtain detection information of the accommodation position;

[0095] S120, according to the detection information, control the accommodation position located at one end of the buffer rack to stay at the working station.

[0096] The buffer drive is controlled to drive the buffer rack to move, so that each accommodation position passes through the working station, the detection mechanism is controlled to detect the passing accommodation position, and detection information is obtained. According to the position of each accommodation position, the buffer drive can be controlled to drive the buffer rack to move so that the accommodation position located at the left end of the buffer rack or the accommodation position located at the right end of the buffer rack stays at the working station. It should be noted that the detection mechanism includes a code scanner, which is used to scan the identification code on the reagent bottle to obtain reagent information, and the code scanner can also be used to scan the identification code on the buffer rack to obtain the position information of the buffer rack. In addition, the detection mechanism can also include a position sensor, which can obtain the position information of each accommodation position passing through the working station, and combine the position information and the reagent information to form the detection information.

[0097] As shown in Figure 3 , the steps of S200 include:

[0098] S210, obtain the empty bottle information of the reagent storage module, and control the manipulator to clamp the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module according to the empty bottle information of the reagent storage module;

[0099] S220, control the manipulator to move the empty reagent bottle to the accommodation position located at the working station, and control the manipulator to release the clamping of the empty reagent bottle.

[0100] The empty bottle information in the reagent storage module is obtained, so as to master the position of the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module. When the reagent storage module is idle, the reagent storage module rotates to move the empty reagent bottle located on the reagent storage module to a position convenient for the manipulator to grasp, or the manipulator directly moves above the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module at the idle time of the reagent storage module to grasp the empty reagent bottle, and then controls the manipulator to put the empty reagent bottle into the accommodation position located at the working station, thereby realizing automatic removal of the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module and saving manpower.

[0101] As shown in Figure 4 , the trajectory of the reagent bottle located in the reagent storage module along with the rotation of the reagent storage module is a reagent bottle trajectory, the intersection of the boundary of the activity range of the manipulator and the reagent bottle trajectory is a loading station, and the steps of S210 include:

[0102] S211, rotating the reagent storage module according to the empty bottle information of the reagent storage module, so that the empty reagent bottle located on the reagent storage module moves to the loading station;

[0103] S212, controlling the manipulator to pick up the empty reagent bottle located at the loading station.

[0104] By controlling the reagent storage module to rotate, the position of the empty reagent bottle picked up by the manipulator is fixed, and the position of the manipulator does not need to be adjusted according to the position of the empty reagent bottle, so that the operation of the manipulator to pick up the empty reagent bottle is more simple and reliable.

[0105] As shown in Figure 5 the steps of S500 include:

[0106] S510, controlling the buffer driving member to drive the buffer rack to pass through the working station;

[0107] S520, controlling the detection mechanism to obtain the reagent information of the reagent bottle located on the buffer rack, and controlling the buffer driving member to drive the buffer rack to move according to the reagent information, so that the reagent bottle stays at the working station;

[0108] S530, controlling the manipulator to move the reagent bottle located at the working station to the empty position of the reagent storage module.

[0109] The buffer driving member is controlled to drive the buffer rack to move, so that the reagent bottles located on the buffer rack can all pass through the working station. The detection mechanism located at the working station detects the identification code on each reagent bottle passing through the working station, thereby obtaining the reagent information of the reagent bottle. If it is necessary to move the reagent bottle containing a certain reagent to the empty position of the reagent storage module, the buffer driving member can be controlled to drive the buffer rack to move according to the reagent information, so that the reagent bottle containing the reagent can be moved to the working station to be grasped by the manipulator, thereby realizing automatic loading of the reagent bottle containing the specific reagent.

[0110] The step of controlling the buffer driving member to drive the buffer rack to move according to the reagent information, so that the reagent bottle stays at the working station, includes:

[0111] controlling the buffer driving member to drive the buffer rack to move according to the reagent information, so that the reagent bottle located at one end of the buffer rack stays at the working station.

[0112] The buffer drive is controlled according to the reagent information to move the buffer rack so that the reagent bottle located at the left end of the buffer rack stops at the working position, or the reagent bottle located at the right end of the buffer rack stops at the working position.

[0113] Additionally, step S530 is followed by:

[0114] S531, Obtain the reagent bottle loading information of the buffer rack, and determine whether the buffer rack has the reagent bottle based on the reagent bottle loading information;

[0115] S5311, if so, then control the cache driver to drive the cache rack to move so that the accommodating position adjacent to the vacant accommodating position moves to the working position;

[0116] S5311', if not, then control the cache driver to drive the cache rack to move to the loading / unloading station.

[0117] The system acquires reagent bottle loading information from the buffer rack and determines whether there are still reagent bottles containing reagents on the rack. If so, it controls the buffer drive to move the buffer rack, causing the adjacent accommodating ...

[0118] like Figure 6 As shown, the buffer rack is also provided with a waste cap collection position, which is located at one end of the buffer rack. Step S520 is followed by:

[0119] S521, control the robotic arm to remove the cap of the reagent bottle located at the work station;

[0120] S522, control the robotic arm holding the bottle cap to rise so that the robotic arm is suspended above the work station;

[0121] S523, control the cache driver to drive the cache rack to move, so that the waste cap collection position moves to the working position;

[0122] S524, control the robot to put the bottle cap into the waste cap collection position, and then control the robot to hover above the working station;

[0123] S525, control the buffer driving element to drive the buffer rack to move, so that the containing position containing the reagent bottle with the removed cap moves to the working station.

[0124] The robot removes the cap of the reagent bottle at the working station, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of reagent pollution caused by misoperation in the process of manually removing the cap. After the robot removes the cap of the reagent bottle, the robot is controlled to keep clamping the cap and then rise. The buffer driving element drives the buffer rack to move, so that the waste cap collection position moves to the working station. The robot is controlled to put the cap into the waste cap collection position, thereby avoiding equipment failure caused by randomly throwing the cap. The waste cap is collected in the waste cap collection position, which is convenient for the staff to clean up.

[0125] Further, the steps after S400 include:

[0126] S410, remove the cap of the reagent bottle at each containing position.

[0127] After the reagent bottle containing reagent is put into the containing position, the operation of removing the cap of the reagent bottle is directly performed. The operation can be performed by the robot or manually.

[0128] Further, the empty bottle information includes reagent storage module empty bottle information, and the steps of S300 include:

[0129] S310, obtain the reagent storage module empty bottle information, and determine whether the empty reagent bottle is placed in the reagent storage module according to the reagent storage module empty bottle information;

[0130] S311, if yes, repeat the step of controlling the robot to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the containing position without the reagent bottle;

[0131] S311', if no, remove the empty reagent bottle at each containing position.

[0132] According to the reagent storage module empty bottle information, it is determined whether the empty reagent bottle is in the reagent storage module. If yes, the removal operation of the empty reagent bottle is continued. If no, even if the containing position is not full, the buffer driving element is controlled to drive the buffer rack to move to the loading and unloading station, so that the staff can empty the empty reagent bottle at the containing position.

[0133] As Figure 7 shown, the empty bottle information further includes buffer rack empty bottle information, and the step S311 includes:

[0134] S3111, if yes, buffer rack empty bottle information is acquired, and it is judged according to the buffer rack empty bottle information whether each accommodation position is placed with the empty reagent bottle or not; if yes, the empty reagent bottle in each accommodation position is removed; if not, the step of moving the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation position without placing the reagent bottle is repeated.

[0135] If there is still an empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module, it is judged according to the buffer rack empty bottle information whether the buffer rack is placed with the empty reagent bottle or not, if yes, it is proved that there is no empty accommodation position on the buffer rack to continue placing the empty reagent bottle of the reagent storage module, so the buffer driving member can be controlled to drive the buffer rack to move to the loading and unloading station, so that the staff can empty the empty reagent bottle in the accommodation position, thereby realizing the batch removal of the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module.

[0136] It should be noted that, compared with moving one empty bottle in the reagent storage module to the buffer rack, and then moving the reagent bottle with reagent on the buffer rack to the empty position of the reagent storage module, the present application adopts batch removal of the empty bottle in the reagent storage module, and then batch placing the reagent bottle with reagent into the empty position of the reagent storage module, which separates the two tasks of empty reagent bottle removal and reagent bottle with reagent loading, simplifies the automatic loading process of the reagent bottle, and improves the automatic loading efficiency of the reagent bottle; and the user does not need to check in advance how many empty bottles in the reagent storage module need to be replaced, but can directly determine the number of new reagent bottles according to the number of empty reagent bottles on the buffer rack, thereby improving the user experience.

[0137] According to an embodiment of the present application, the step of if not, repeating the step of controlling the mechanical hand to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation position without placing the reagent bottle includes:

[0138] if not, the buffer driving member is controlled to drive the buffer rack to move, so that the accommodation position adjacent to the empty reagent bottle moves to the working station, and then the step of controlling the mechanical hand to move the empty reagent bottle in the reagent storage module to the accommodation position without placing the reagent bottle is repeated.

[0142] S311'', if no, repeating the step of moving the empty reagent bottles in the reagent storage module to the accommodation positions in which the reagent bottles are not placed.

[0143] determining whether the accommodation positions of the buffer rack are filled with empty reagent bottles, wherein if the buffer rack is provided with waste cap collection positions, the waste cap collection positions are equivalent to accommodation positions, and if each of the accommodation positions is placed with an empty reagent bottle, the buffer driving member is controlled to drive the buffer rack to move to the loading and unloading station, so that the worker removes the empty reagent bottles in each of the accommodation positions.

[0144] As shown in Figure 8 the empty bottle information further includes reagent storage module empty bottle information, and the S311'' includes:

[0148] If there are still empty accommodation positions, it is determined according to the reagent storage module empty bottle information whether there are still empty reagent bottles in the reagent storage module, and if no, the buffer driving member is directly controlled to drive the buffer rack to move to the loading and unloading station, so that the worker removes the empty reagent bottles in each of the accommodation positions, thereby achieving batch removal of the empty reagent bottles in the reagent storage module.
