Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a gas source control method, a scheduling and control system, a sample detection system, and a computer storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, testing equipment for blood samples typically uses a gas source configured for each individual device. This gas source starts automatically when the device is powered on, remaining operational as long as the device is not shut down. This prolonged operation shortens the gas source's lifespan. Furthermore, the gas source requires manual shutdown when not in use, increasing the workload for operators. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the existing technical problems, this invention provides a gas source control method, a scheduling and control system, a sample detection system, and a computer storage medium that can intelligently manage the start and stop of a gas source and extend its service life.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] Firstly, a gas source control method is provided, applied to a dispatching and control system, including:

[0006] Obtain preset gas source demand judgment conditions, and determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions;

[0007] If at least one of the detection devices requires a gas source, control the target gas source to be turned on;

[0008] If none of the detection devices require a gas source, the target gas source will be stopped.

[0009] Secondly, a gas source control method is provided for use in a sample detection system, including:

[0010] The scheduling and control system acquires the preset gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample detection system, and determines whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions.

[0011] When the scheduling and control system determines that at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement, it sends a first control command to the sample injection mechanism associated with the target gas source.

[0012] When the scheduling and control system determines that none of the detection devices require gas, it sends a second control command to the injection mechanism associated with the target gas source.

[0013] The sample introduction mechanism controls the target gas source to start according to the first control command, or controls the target gas source to stop according to the second control command.

[0014] Thirdly, a scheduling and control system is provided, including a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and when the processor runs the computer program, it executes a gas source control method applied to the scheduling and control system side.

[0015] Fourthly, a sample detection system is provided, including the scheduling and control system provided in the embodiments of this application, a gas source, detection equipment, and a sample injection mechanism.

[0016] Fifthly, a computer storage medium is provided, wherein a computer program is stored in the computer storage medium, and the computer program, when executed by a processor, is used to implement the gas source control method described in any embodiment of this application.

[0017] The gas source control method, scheduling control system, sample detection system, and computer storage medium provided in the above embodiments allow the scheduling control system to obtain gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample detection system. Based on these conditions, it determines whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement. If at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement, the target gas source is controlled to start. If none of the detection devices have a gas source usage requirement, the target gas source is controlled to stop. Thus, the scheduling control system intelligently controls the gas source to start or stop based on whether there is a current gas source usage requirement within the sample detection system. While ensuring that the gas source can respond promptly and meet all gas source usage requirements within the sample detection system, the system intelligently shuts down the gas source when it is not needed, thereby extending the service life of the gas source and reducing the operational difficulty for staff.

[0025] The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the ways in which the invention may be implemented. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] In the following description, the expression “some embodiments” is used, which describes a subset of possible embodiments. However, it should be understood that “some embodiments” can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 This is a framework diagram of a sample detection system for an optional application scenario of the gas source control method provided in this application embodiment. The sample detection system includes a scheduling and control system (CMS) 10, a data management system (DMS) 20, a detection device 31, a sample introduction mechanism 32, and a gas source 33. The scheduling and control system 10 and the data management system 20 can communicate and interact with the detection device 31 and the sample introduction mechanism 32, respectively, sending setting information or control commands to them, enabling the detection device 31 and the sample introduction mechanism 32 to perform sample allocation and detection functions according to the sent setting information or control commands. The data management system 20 may include a user-facing client program and a server program. The client program provides a reservation setting page for scheduling the usage periods of the testing equipment 31. Users can open the client program and operate on the reservation setting page to select which time periods and which testing equipment 31 need to be used to complete the scheduled power-on settings. The client program also provides a system configuration page for configuring the sample testing system. Users can open the client program and operate on the system configuration page to configure the testing equipment, injection mechanism, and gas source included in the sample testing system. The client program can be loaded onto any intelligent device with communication and storage functions, such as a smartphone, desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or other intelligent communication device with network connectivity, or it can be a control device integrated with the analyzer 31 and the injection mechanism 32.

[0029] The scheduling and control system 10 can obtain information such as the scheduled start-up settings and the sample detection system settings from the data management system 20, and control the detection equipment, sample injection mechanism, and gas source to perform corresponding start-up and detection actions in accordance with the settings.

[0030] The data management system 10 and the scheduling control system 20 can be two physically independent systems, or they can be two logically independent but physically integrated systems. For example, the data management system 10 and the scheduling control system 20 can be a system control center integrated with the analyzer 31 and the sample injection mechanism 32.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 This application provides a gas source control method, which is applied to... Figure 1 The dispatch control system shown includes the following steps:

[0032] S101, obtain the preset gas source demand judgment conditions, and determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions.

[0033] The preset gas source demand judgment conditions can be one or more conditions pre-set by the user that characterize whether the testing equipment included in the sample testing system has a gas source usage requirement. For example, based on the settings of the scheduled power-on settings, it can be determined that the testing equipment needs to be turned on to perform testing during a scheduled time period. Therefore, the gas source usage requirement can be determined during the corresponding time period based on the settings of the scheduled power-on settings. Optionally, the dispatch control system can obtain the gas source demand judgment conditions in at least one of the following ways: the data management system obtains the setting data of the gas source demand judgment conditions based on the user's settings operation on the specified page of the client program and sends it to the dispatch control system; the dispatch control system provides a demand setting page for users to set or modify the gas source demand judgment conditions, and determines the gas source demand judgment conditions based on the user's operation on the demand setting page.

[0034] The detection equipment, sample introduction mechanism, and gas source included in the sample detection system can be selected and configured through the data management system, or automatically determined by the scheduling and control system based on the communication connection status of the detection equipment, sample introduction mechanism, and gas source within its local area network. Within the same sample detection system, one or more gas sources can be configured. One gas source can correspond to multiple detection devices, or multiple gas sources can support multiple detection devices according to preset priorities. The target gas source refers to a specific gas source to be controlled. The detection equipment associated with the target gas source refers to the detection equipment within the sample detection system that requires the target gas source to be activated to cooperate in achieving gas path control when performing detection work. There can be one or more detection devices associated with the target gas source. The scheduling and control system determines whether one or more of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement based on the gas source demand judgment conditions.

[0035] Testing equipment refers to the devices used to perform sample testing based on testing instructions. Taking blood sample testing as an example, testing equipment includes fully automated sample analyzers that automatically inject and test blood samples. The relationship between the gas source and the testing equipment can be a correspondence between the gas source's identification information and the testing equipment's identification information. The identification information of the testing equipment refers to information that uniquely identifies the equipment, such as equipment name, identifier, code, etc., or, when identifying the equipment by its location, room number, location information, etc., or, when identifying the equipment by the user's identity, username, etc. Similarly, the identification information of the gas source also refers to information that uniquely identifies the gas source, such as gas source code, identifier, etc. Testing equipment for completing a sample test includes multiple devices of different types. Before sample testing, multiple different types of devices in the testing equipment need to be powered on and started. These different types of devices in the same testing equipment are interconnected. The identification information of a testing equipment can refer to the identification information of one device in a testing equipment set, and other devices in the same testing equipment set can be identified based on the identification information of that one device. For example, a testing device includes an analyzer and a sample injection mechanism. Since the analyzer and the sample injection mechanism in the same testing device are interconnected, the identification information of the testing device can refer to the identification information of the analyzer, the identification information of the sample injection mechanism, or it can include the identification information of both the analyzer and the sample injection mechanism.

[0036] S103, if at least one of the detection devices has a gas source requirement, control the target gas source to be turned on.

[0037] When the scheduling and control system determines that one or more of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement, it controls the target gas source to turn on. In some embodiments, the turning on and off of the gas source is controlled by the sample injection mechanism. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to the sample injection mechanism to turn on the target gas source, and the sample injection mechanism controls the gas source to turn on according to the control command of the scheduling and control system. In other embodiments, the turning on and off of the gas source is synchronized with the starting and closing of the sample injection mechanism. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to the sample injection mechanism to turn on the target gas source, and the gas source is turned on simultaneously with the starting of the sample injection mechanism. Optionally, the control of the gas source can be executed independently. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to the controller that independently controls the target gas source to turn on the target gas source, thereby controlling the target gas source to turn on.

[0038] S105, if none of the detection devices require gas, control the target gas source to stop.

[0039] When the scheduling and control system determines that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source require gas, it controls the target gas source to stop. In some embodiments, the opening and closing of the gas source is controlled by the sample introduction mechanism. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to stop the target gas source to the sample introduction mechanism, which then controls the gas source to stop according to the control command. In other embodiments, the opening and closing of the gas source are synchronized with the starting and closing of the sample introduction mechanism. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to stop the target gas source to the sample introduction mechanism, which simultaneously controls the gas source to stop upon starting. Optionally, the control of the gas source can be executed independently. The scheduling and control system sends a control command to stop the target gas source to a controller that independently controls the target gas source, thereby controlling the target gas source to stop.

[0040] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system intelligently controls the gas source to start or stop based on whether there is a gas source usage demand in the sample detection system. Under the premise of ensuring that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all gas source usage demands in the sample detection system, the gas source can be intelligently shut off when it is not needed, which can extend the service life of the gas source and reduce the operational difficulty for staff.

[0041] In some embodiments, step S101 involves obtaining preset gas source demand judgment conditions and determining, based on these conditions, whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand, including:

[0042] Acquire changes in the network connection status of the testing equipment;

[0043] When it is detected that at least one detection device associated with the target gas source has successfully accessed the network, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement.

[0044] When it is detected that all detection devices critical to the target gas source are disconnected from the network, it is determined that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement.

[0045] The dispatch control system determines whether a testing device requires a gas source based on its network connection status. The dispatch control system detects that at least one testing device associated with the target gas source has successfully connected to the network in several ways: the system detects that a testing device associated with the target gas source has left the network, and then one or more of these devices successfully reconnect; or the system detects that one or more new testing devices associated with the target gas source have successfully connected to the network. When a testing device successfully connects to the network, it indicates that the device is preparing to switch to the working state of analyzing the sample under test, meaning the device requires a gas source. After completing the analysis of the sample under test, if the device anticipates that there will be no further analysis work for the sample under test in the future, it can automatically leave the network, or due to network anomalies, the device may be unable to continue the analysis work and will leave the network, becoming disconnected. When a testing device is disconnected, it indicates that the device has completed the analysis task for the sample under test, or that the device is unable to perform the analysis task, meaning the device does not require a gas source.

[0046] After successfully connecting to the network, the testing equipment can report this connection success information to the dispatch control system. Based on this information, the dispatch control system determines whether the corresponding testing equipment requires gas supply. Optionally, after connecting to the network, the testing equipment can periodically send heartbeat data to the dispatch control system. The dispatch control system uses this periodically sent heartbeat data to determine whether the corresponding testing equipment is currently disconnected from the network.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system uses the network access or disconnection status of the detection equipment associated with the target gas source as the gas source demand judgment condition. In this way, it determines whether the detection equipment associated with the target gas source in the sample detection system has a gas source usage demand. Under the premise of ensuring that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all gas source usage demands in the sample detection system, the gas source can be intelligently shut off when it is not needed, which can extend the service life of the gas source and reduce the operational difficulty for staff.

[0048] In some embodiments, step S101 involves obtaining preset gas source demand judgment conditions and determining, based on these conditions, whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand, including:

[0049] Obtain the current operating status of the testing equipment;

[0050] When all the detection devices associated with the target gas source are in a dormant state, it is determined that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement.

[0051] When the detection device associated with the target gas source exits its current dormant state, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement.

[0052] The dispatch control system determines whether the testing equipment requires a gas source based on its current operating status. Specifically, if the dispatch control system detects that all testing equipment associated with the target gas source is in a dormant state, it indicates that the equipment has completed its task of analyzing the sample, or that it has no task to perform at that time, meaning it has no gas source requirement. Conversely, if the dispatch control system detects that a testing equipment associated with the target gas source is exiting its dormant state, it indicates that the equipment is preparing to switch to analyzing the sample, meaning it requires a gas source.

[0053] There can be multiple detection devices associated with the target gas source. The dispatch control system can detect a detection device exiting its current dormant state by any one of the associated detection devices, or by all of them exiting their dormant states. After completing the detection and analysis of the sample to be tested, if no new detection and analysis task is received for a preset time, the detection device can automatically switch to dormant state; alternatively, according to scheduled usage, the detection device can automatically switch to dormant state after completing a scheduled detection and analysis task. The detection device can periodically report its own working status to the dispatch control system, or report an updated working status when its working status changes. The dispatch control system determines whether the detection device associated with the target gas source is currently in dormant state based on the reported or updated working status of the detection device.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system uses whether the detection equipment associated with the target gas source is in a dormant state as a condition for judging the gas source demand. In this way, it judges whether the detection equipment associated with the target gas source in the sample detection system has a gas source usage demand. Under the premise of ensuring that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all the gas source usage demands in the sample detection system, the gas source can be intelligently shut off when it is not needed, which can extend the service life of the gas source and reduce the operational difficulty for the staff.

[0055] In some embodiments, step S101 involves obtaining preset gas source demand judgment conditions and determining, based on these conditions, whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand, including:

[0056] Obtain the scheduled power-on data for the testing equipment;

[0057] When it is determined from the scheduled power-on data that at least one detection device associated with the target gas source meets the preset power-on conditions, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement.

[0058] The dispatch and control system determines whether the testing equipment has a gas supply requirement based on user reservations. Users can reserve testing equipment in advance through the data management system's client application. This reservation allows the equipment to automatically power on and perform self-tests at the scheduled time, replacing manual power-on and self-testing, shortening the waiting time before sample testing, and enabling users to plan sample injection and testing to meet real-time testing needs in different scenarios. Based on the reservation power-on data for testing equipment, the dispatch and control system can determine which testing equipment associated with the target gas source has testing and analysis tasks within a specified time period, thus confirming the gas supply requirement of the testing equipment during that period.

[0059] Optionally, the reservation for use of the testing equipment can be set to multiple task time periods as needed. Based on the reservation start-up data, the scheduling and control system determines that the testing equipment associated with the target gas source has a testing and analysis task during the specified time period when each task time period arrives, thus determining that the testing equipment has a gas source usage requirement during the specified time period. Correspondingly, at the end of each task time period, it is determined that the testing equipment associated with the target gas source has completed the current testing and analysis task, thus determining that the testing equipment has no testing and analysis task before the next task time period arrives, thus determining that the testing equipment has no gas source usage requirement between two adjacent task time periods.

[0060] The scheduling and control system determines the corresponding time period for the testing equipment associated with the target gas source to perform analysis and testing tasks based on the reservation start-up data of the testing equipment. During the time period when the testing equipment performs the analysis and testing tasks, it means that the corresponding testing equipment has a gas source usage requirement, while outside the time period when the testing equipment completes the analysis and testing tasks, it means that the corresponding testing equipment does not have a gas source usage requirement.

[0061] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system uses the reservation usage of the detection equipment associated with the target gas source as a condition for judging the gas source demand. In this way, it determines whether the detection equipment associated with the target gas source in the sample detection system has a gas source usage demand. Under the premise of ensuring that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all the gas source usage demands in the sample detection system, the gas source can be intelligently shut off when it is not needed, which can extend the service life of the gas source and reduce the operational difficulty for staff.

[0062] In some embodiments, step S105, if none of the detection devices require a gas source, controls the target gas source to stop, including:

[0063] If none of the detection devices have a gas source requirement, return to the step of obtaining the preset gas source requirement judgment condition, and determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source requirement based on the gas source requirement judgment condition.

[0064] When it is determined that the detection equipment has no need for gas supply during the specified delay period, the target gas supply is controlled to stop.

[0065] After determining that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas supply requirement, the dispatch control system checks whether any new gas supply requirement will arise within a specified delay period. If none of the detection devices have a gas supply requirement within the specified delay period, the target gas source is stopped. The duration of the delay period can be set according to different practical applications, such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes. The dispatch control system determines whether any new gas supply requirement will arise within the delay period by either repeatedly executing the gas supply requirement judgment condition at the original frequency to determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas supply requirement, or by repeatedly executing the gas supply requirement judgment condition at a higher frequency.

[0066] In the above embodiments, by setting a delay period, the scheduling and control system ensures that the detection equipment has no demand for gas supply during the continuous delay period before controlling the target gas source to stop. This avoids controlling the opening and closing of the gas source too frequently and prevents accidental triggering.

[0067] In some embodiments, step S103, if at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement, controls the target gas source to be turned on, including:

[0068] If at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement, determine the current availability status of the target gas source;

[0069] If the target gas source is currently available, control the target gas source to be turned on;

[0070] If the target gas source is currently unavailable, control the backup gas source of the target gas source to be activated.

[0071] The sample testing system can be configured with one or more gas sources. In cases where the system has multiple gas sources, some can be designated as backup sources to replace the target gas source when it becomes unavailable. The target gas source may become unavailable in several ways: the target gas source is faulty, or the target gas source cannot meet the gas supply requirements of the current testing equipment. When the scheduling and control system determines that at least one of the testing equipment associated with the target gas source has a gas supply requirement, it first checks the current availability of the target gas source. If the target gas source is unavailable, it then activates the backup gas source.

[0072] In the above embodiments, by setting up a backup gas source, the scheduling and control system can selectively control the target gas source or the backup gas source to be turned on according to the gas source usage demand in the current sample detection system, so as to ensure that the gas source can meet the working task requirements of the sample detection system under different application scenarios.

[0073] Optionally, the detection equipment associated with the target gas source includes multiple detection devices. Determining whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement includes: judging whether there is a gas source usage requirement among the multiple detection devices associated with the target gas source; if one or more detection devices have a gas source usage requirement, then it is determined that at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement; if none of the multiple detection devices have a gas source usage requirement, then it is determined that none of the detection devices have a gas source usage requirement; or...

[0074] The detection equipment associated with the target gas source includes a detection device. The step of determining whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement includes: determining whether there is a gas source usage requirement among the detection devices associated with the target gas source; when the detection device has a gas source usage requirement, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement; when the detection device does not have a gas source usage requirement, it is determined that none of the detection devices have a gas source usage requirement.

[0075] When there are multiple detection devices associated with the target gas source in the sample detection system, the scheduling control system determines that at least one of the multiple detection devices has a gas source usage requirement if one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement, and multiple detection devices have a gas source usage requirement; the scheduling control system determines that the detection device does not have a gas source usage requirement if none of the multiple detection devices have a gas source usage requirement. When there is only one detection device associated with the target gas source in the sample detection system, the scheduling control system determines that at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement if the corresponding detection device has a gas source usage requirement; the scheduling control system determines that the detection device does not have a gas source usage requirement if the corresponding detection device does not have a gas source usage requirement.

[0076] The dispatch and control system accurately determines whether there is a demand for gas supply within the sample testing system based on the number of testing devices associated with the target gas source. This enables precise control over the opening and closing of the gas source, ensuring that the gas source can respond promptly and meet all gas supply needs within the sample testing system. When the gas source is not needed, it can be intelligently shut off, extending the service life of the gas source and reducing the operational difficulty for staff.

[0077] In another aspect of the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 A gas source control device is provided, including an acquisition module 11, used to acquire preset gas source demand judgment conditions, and determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions; and a control module 12, used to control the target gas source to start when at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage demand, and to control the target gas source to stop when none of the detection devices have a gas source usage demand.

[0078] Optionally, the acquisition module 11 is specifically used to acquire changes in the network connection status of the detection devices; when it is detected that at least one detection device associated with the target gas source has successfully accessed the network, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement; when it is detected that all the detection devices critical to the target gas source are in a network disconnected state, it is determined that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement.

[0079] Optionally, the acquisition module 11 is specifically used to acquire the current working status of the detection device; when all detection devices associated with the target gas source are in a dormant state, it is determined that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source usage requirement; when the detection device associated with the target gas source exits the current dormant state, it is determined that at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement.

[0080] Optionally, the acquisition module 11 is specifically used to acquire the reservation power-on data for the use of the testing equipment; when it is determined from the reservation power-on data that at least one testing equipment associated with the target gas source meets the preset power-on conditions, it is determined that at least one of the testing equipment associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage requirement.

[0081] Optionally, the control module 12 is specifically used to return to the step of obtaining the preset gas source demand judgment condition when none of the detection devices have a gas source demand, and to determine whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source demand based on the gas source demand judgment condition; and to control the target gas source to stop when it is determined that none of the detection devices have a gas source demand within a specified delay period.

[0082] Optionally, the control module 12 is specifically used to determine the current availability status of the target gas source when at least one of the detection devices has a gas source usage requirement; if the target gas source is currently available, control the target gas source to be turned on; if the target gas source is currently unavailable, control the backup gas source of the target gas source to be turned on.

[0083] It should be noted that the gas source control device provided in the above embodiments, when realizing intelligent management of the gas source, is only illustrated by the division of the above-described subsystem program modules. In practical applications, the above processing can be assigned to different subsystem program modules as needed, thus dividing the internal structure of the gas source control device into different subsystems or integrating them into a whole system to complete all or part of the processing described above. Furthermore, the gas source control device provided in this embodiment and the aforementioned gas source control method embodiments belong to the same concept; its specific implementation process is detailed in the method embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0084] Please see Figure 4 This application also provides a gas source control method for a sample detection system, comprising the following steps:

[0085] S201, the scheduling and control system obtains the preset gas source demand judgment conditions in the sample detection system, and determines whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions.

[0086] The preset gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample testing system can be one or more conditions pre-set by the user that characterize whether the testing equipment included in the sample testing system requires gas. Optionally, the dispatch control system obtains the gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample testing system in at least one of the following ways: the data management system obtains the setting data of the gas source demand judgment conditions based on the user's settings on the gas source demand condition setting page of the client program and sends it to the dispatch control system; the dispatch control system provides a demand setting page for users to set or modify the gas source demand judgment conditions, and determines the gas source demand judgment conditions based on the user's operations on the demand setting page. The gas source demand judgment conditions can be added, modified, or deleted by the user through the client page of the data management system or the dispatch control system, which facilitates the user to improve the control strategy for intelligent start or stop of gas source according to different application situations of the sample testing system, thereby improving accuracy.

[0087] S203, when the scheduling and control system determines that at least one of the detection devices has a gas source requirement, it sends a first control command to the sample injection mechanism associated with the target gas source.

[0088] S205, when the scheduling and control system determines that none of the detection devices require gas, it sends a second control command to the sample injection mechanism associated with the target gas source.

[0089] Optionally, the gas source is turned on and off via the sample injection mechanism. When the scheduling and control system determines that one or more of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source requirement, the scheduling and control system sends a first control command to the sample injection mechanism to turn on the target gas source. When the scheduling and control system determines that none of the detection devices associated with the target gas source have a gas source requirement, the scheduling and control system sends a second control command to the sample injection mechanism to turn on the target gas source.

[0090] S207, the sample introduction mechanism controls the target gas source to start according to the first control command, or controls the target gas source to stop according to the second control command.

[0091] The sample introduction mechanism controls the target gas source to start according to the first control command or the second control command sent by the scheduling and control system.

[0092] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system intelligently controls the gas source to start or stop based on whether there is a gas source usage demand in the sample detection system. Under the premise of ensuring that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all gas source usage demands in the sample detection system, the gas source can be intelligently shut off when it is not needed, which can extend the service life of the gas source and reduce the operational difficulty for staff.

[0093] In some embodiments, the scheduling and control system acquires preset gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample detection system, including at least one of the following:

[0094] The dispatch and control system acquires the network connection status parameters of the detection equipment associated with the target gas source;

[0095] The dispatch and control system acquires the current operating status parameters reported by the detection equipment associated with the target gas source;

[0096] The dispatch control system obtains the scheduled start-up data for the testing equipment reported by the data management system.

[0097] Multiple gas source demand judgment conditions can be set simultaneously. When any one of the gas source demand judgment conditions is met and it is determined that there is a gas source usage demand within the sample detection system, the target gas source is controlled to start. Conversely, when all the set gas source demand judgment conditions are met and it is determined that there is no gas source usage demand within the sample detection system, the target gas source is controlled to stop. The network connection status parameters of the detection equipment can include parameters indicating that the detection equipment has successfully connected to the network and parameters indicating that the detection equipment has exited the network and is in a network disconnected state. The current working status parameters reported by the detection equipment can include parameters indicating that the detection equipment has switched from wake-up state to sleep state and parameters indicating that it has exited sleep state and switched back to wake-up state. The reserved power-on data for the detection equipment can include the reserved power-on time, the reserved time period for using the detection equipment, and the multiple task time periods for the reserved use of the detection equipment to perform multiple detection and analysis tasks. Based on the network connection status of the detection equipment, the current working status of the detection equipment, and the reserved usage of the detection equipment, the scheduling and control system controls the target gas source to start when any one of the gas source demand judgment conditions is met and it is determined that there is a gas source usage demand within the sample detection system.

[0098] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system can integrate multiple gas source demand judgment conditions to determine whether there is a gas source usage demand within the sample detection system, so as to ensure that the gas source can respond in a timely manner and meet all gas source usage demands within the sample detection system, thereby achieving intelligent management of the gas source.

[0099] In some embodiments, before the scheduling and control system acquires preset gas source demand judgment conditions within the sample detection system, and determines whether at least one of the detection devices associated with the target gas source has a gas source usage demand based on the gas source demand judgment conditions, the process includes:

[0100] The data management system obtains configuration data based on the user's configuration operations on the sample detection system and sends the configuration data to the scheduling and control system.

[0101] The scheduling and control system obtains the correspondence between the target gas source, the injection mechanism, and the detection equipment within the sample detection system based on the configuration data.

[0102] The data management system provides a configuration interface for users to configure the detection equipment, injection mechanisms, and gas sources included in the sample detection system. Based on the user's configuration operations, the data management system obtains configuration data and sends it to the scheduling and control system. The scheduling and control system, based on the configuration data, obtains the correspondence between the target gas source and the injection mechanism / detection equipment within the sample detection system. The scheduling and control system then determines the detection equipment associated with the target gas source based on this correspondence. The correspondence between the target gas source and the injection mechanism / detection equipment can refer to the mapping relationship between the gas source's identity information and the injection mechanism's identity information and the detection equipment's identity information. The target object's identity information refers to relevant information that uniquely identifies the target object, such as name, identifier, code, etc., or, when determining the target object based on its location, room number, location information, etc., or, when determining the target object based on its user identity, username, etc. Here, the target objects refer to the target gas source, injection mechanism, and detection equipment, respectively.

[0103] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system determines the detection equipment associated with the target gas source based on the user's configuration of the sample detection system, which makes it convenient for users to configure or adjust the composition of the sample detection system according to the needs of different application scenarios and meet more personalized usage requirements.

[0104] To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the gas source control method provided in the embodiments of this application, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The following example uses a fully automated testing device for testing blood samples to illustrate the gas source control method of this application. The gas source control method includes the following steps for initiating the gas source process:

[0105] S11, The scheduling and control system obtains information that any testing device in the sample testing system has successfully connected to the network;

[0106] S12, The scheduling and control system obtains information that any detection device in the sample detection system has exited the sleep state;

[0107] S13, The scheduling and control system obtains information on the reservation of any testing equipment;

[0108] S14, The dispatch and control system determines the current gas supply demand based on the above information;

[0109] S15, The dispatch and control system notifies the sample injection mechanism to start the gas source;

[0110] S16, the gas source for the sample injection mechanism is activated.

[0111] Please see Figure 6 In the gas source control method, the gas source shutdown process includes the following steps:

[0112] S21, The scheduling and control system determines that all testing equipment in the sample testing system is in a network disconnected state;

[0113] S22, The scheduling and control system determines that all testing equipment in the sample testing system is in a dormant state;

[0114] S23, The scheduling and control system determines that none of the testing equipment in the sample testing system has scheduled testing tasks based on the reservation usage of the testing equipment.

[0115] S24, The dispatch and control system determines that there is currently no demand for gas supply based on the above information;

[0116] S25, the dispatch control system notifies the sample injection mechanism to stop the gas supply;

[0117] S26, the gas source of the sample injection mechanism is turned off.

[0118] In the above embodiments, the scheduling and control system acts as the central hub for gas source control, actively turning the gas source on or off according to the needs of instruments and equipment using the gas source. The automatic sampler, as a connection device to the gas source, receives start and stop commands from the scheduling and control system to control the gas source's on / off state, and actively turns on the gas source under the scheduled start-up function. The detection equipment, as a user of the gas source, connects to the scheduling and control system via a network, informing the system of its status and needs. The scheduling and control system then determines whether to notify the automatic sampler to turn the gas source on or off based on the current status of all equipment. Under the premise of ensuring normal use of the gas source by the equipment, the automatic control of the gas source's start and stop extends the service life of the gas source equipment, eliminates the need for manual operation by the user, saves user time, and improves work efficiency.
