[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0056] Furthermore, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in the field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0057] The present invention provides an analyzer, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the analyzer includes a sample table 1, an analysis mechanism, a return rack 14 and a transport mechanism. The sample table 1 is provided with a loading area 11 for accommodating a sample rack 15, an emergency area 12, a test area 13 and a detection area; the analysis mechanism is used to analyze the reagents in the reagent bottles in the sample rack 15 in the detection area; the return rack 14 includes a bracket body 141, the bracket body 141 is installed on the sample table 1, and the bracket body 141 is provided with a receiving position 16 for accommodating the sample rack 15, so that the user can directly take or put the sample rack 15 from the receiving position 16 without stopping the operation of the analysis mechanism; the transport mechanism is used to move the sample rack 15 in the loading area 11 or the emergency area 12 to the test area 13 or the receiving position 16.

[0058] If the user needs to deliver the sample rack to be operated from the outside of the sample table 1 to the inside of the sample table 1, generally, the sample rack 15 is placed in the test area 13 of the sample table 1, so the staff cannot directly place the sample rack to be operated in the test area 13. If the sample rack to be operated is placed in the emergency area 12 or the loading area 11, the analyzer needs to be stopped to perform related operations. By adding a bracket body 141 to the sample table 1, the sample rack to be operated can be moved to the accommodating position 16 of the bracket body 141 through a transfer mechanism or manual transportation, thereby realizing the transfer of the sample rack to be operated without stopping the operation of the analyzer. The sample rack is moved into the sample table 1; if the user needs to take out the designated sample rack to be operated from the sample table 1, the sample rack to be operated can be moved to the accommodation position 16 through the transfer mechanism, and the staff can directly take out the sample rack 15 located in the accommodation position 16 without stopping the analysis. The staff will go to the emergency area 12 or the loading area 11 to find the sample rack 15, and then take out the sample rack 15 to be taken out; therefore, the present invention realizes the operation of taking out the designated sample rack 15 from the sample table 1 without stopping the operation of the analyzer, saving manpower and ensuring the detection efficiency. It should be noted that the bracket body 141 is arranged close to the edge of the sample table 1, so that the user can easily take out or put in the sample rack 15 from the bracket body 141 without stopping the operation of the analyzer.

[0059] In one embodiment, the sample table 1 also includes a scanning area, and the return rack 14 also includes a plurality of barcode scanners, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the scanning area, the loading area 11, the emergency area 12, the test area 13 and the detection area. The sample rack 15 is provided with a barcode, and the barcode scanner is used to scan the barcode. By adding a barcode scanner and a scanning area to the sample table 1, if the sample rack to be operated needs to enter the sample table 1 from outside the sample table 1, the user manually inputs the code of the sample rack to be operated, and the analyzer obtains the preset barcode information of the sample rack to be operated according to the code, and then puts the sample rack to be operated into the scanning area for scanning, and the barcode scanner scans the barcode of the sample rack to be operated located in the scanning area to obtain the first barcode information, and the analyzer determines whether the preset barcode information and the first barcode information are consistent based on the preset barcode information and the first barcode information, so as to ensure that the sample rack 15 specified by the user is sent to the emergency area 12, the loading area 11 or the storage position 16.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the return frame 14 also includes a positioning assembly 142, and the positioning assembly 142 includes a positioning drive 1421 and a mounting frame 1422. The positioning drive 1421 is installed on the mounting frame 1422. The return frame 14 is provided with a through hole for the output shaft of the positioning drive 1421 to extend in and out. When the shipping mechanism puts the sample rack 15 into the receiving position 16, the positioning drive 1421 drives its output shaft to extend to position the sample rack 15 located in the receiving position 16, ensuring that the position of the sample rack 15 located in the receiving position 16 is accurate to facilitate the subsequent transfer mechanism to transfer it. It should be noted that the positioning drive 1421 can be a cylinder, and the output shaft of the cylinder can be provided with a plunger, and the sample rack 15 is positioned by the plunger.

[0061] In one embodiment, the accommodation position 16 is a plurality of accommodation slots, and the plurality of accommodation slots are arranged at intervals. By arranging a plurality of accommodation slots at the accommodation position 16, each accommodation slot can accommodate a sample rack 15, thereby increasing the accommodation capacity of the return rack 14.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the return rack 14 also includes a detection optical coupler 143. Each receiving slot is correspondingly provided with a detection optical coupler 143. The detection optical coupler 143 is used to detect whether a sample rack 15 is placed in the corresponding receiving slot. The sample rack 15 in the receiving slot is sent to the detection area for detection through the loading mechanism. After the sample rack 15 completes the detection, the sample rack 15 is sent back to the original receiving slot. The detection optical coupler 143 can also accurately determine the time when the sample rack 15 starts and completes the test.

[0063] In addition, the present invention also provides an analyzer scheduling method, wherein the sample table is provided with a loading area for accommodating a sample rack, an emergency area, a test area and a detection area, such as Figure 1 As shown, the analyzer scheduling method includes:

[0064] S100, obtaining instruction information, and determining, according to the instruction information, whether the sample rack to be operated is taken out from the sample stage or enters the sample stage from outside the sample stage;

[0065] By understanding the needs of the user through the instruction information, the analyzer can understand whether the user wants to take the sample rack to be operated out of the sample table or to send the sample rack to be operated from outside the sample table into the sample table for testing.

[0066] S200, if the sample rack to be operated enters the sample table from outside the sample table, obtaining parameter information of the sample rack to be operated, the parameter information including preset priority information, and obtaining priority information of each of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area, and the test area;

[0067] First, the preset priority information of the sample rack to be operated is obtained, and then the preset priority information is compared with the priority information of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area and the testing area to understand the priority order of the sample rack to be operated compared with the priority order of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area and the testing area, so that the analyzer can subsequently perform detection in order of priority according to the analysis results.

[0068] S300, judging whether the priority of the sample rack to be operated is higher than the priority of each of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area and the testing area according to the preset priority information and the priority information;

[0069] According to the preset priority information and the priority information, it is determined whether the priority of the sample rack to be operated is higher than the priority of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area and the testing area, thereby determining whether the sample rack to be tested is at the first priority.

[0070] S400, if yes, moving the sample rack to be operated to the receiving position;

[0071] If the priority of the sample rack to be operated is higher than the priority of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area and the testing area, the sample rack to be operated can be moved to the accommodation position by manual handling or a transfer mechanism.

[0072] S500, controlling the transport mechanism to move the sample rack to be operated to the detection area.

[0073] When there is space in the area to be tested, the transfer mechanism can be controlled to preferentially send the sample rack to be operated into the testing area for testing.

[0074] The analyzer obtains the user's instruction information, determines whether the user wants to send the sample rack to be operated from the outside of the sample table to the inside of the sample table, or takes out the sample rack to be operated from the inside of the sample table. If the user wants to send the sample rack to be operated from the outside of the sample table to the inside of the sample table, the parameter information of the sample rack to be operated is first obtained, and the parameter information includes preset priority information. The priority information of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area, and the test area is obtained, and then the preset priority information is compared with the priority information to determine whether the priority of the sample rack to be operated is the first priority. If the priority of the sample rack to be operated is For the first priority, the sample rack to be operated is moved to the accommodating position. If there is a sample rack in the detection area that has completed the detection, the transfer mechanism is controlled to send the sample rack to be operated in the accommodating position to the detection area for the detection mechanism to detect. Therefore, without stopping the operation of the analyzer, the sample rack to be operated is sent from outside the sample table to the sample table, and the sample rack to be operated is arranged for detection according to the preset priority information of the sample rack to be operated and the priority information of the original sample rack in the sample table. Therefore, without stopping the operation of the analyzer, the sample rack to be operated is sent from outside the sample table to the sample table for detection.

[0075] Furthermore, the step of obtaining parameter information of the sample rack to be operated includes:

[0076] Obtaining the code of the sample rack to be operated;

[0077] The parameter information of the sample rack is obtained according to the code.

[0078] The code on the sample rack to be operated can be manually input by the staff so that the analyzer can obtain the code of the sample rack to be operated, and the parameter information matching the code can be queried according to the code.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, the parameter information also includes preset barcode information, the analyzer is also provided with a scanning area, and the step of S400 includes:

[0081] S420, obtaining first barcode information of the sample rack to be operated;

[0082] S430, determining whether the preset barcode information is consistent with the first barcode information;

[0083] S440: If yes, control the transport mechanism to move the sample rack to be operated to the receiving position.

[0084] The staff first places the sample rack to be operated in the scanning area, controls the barcode scanner to scan the sample rack to be operated in the scanning area, obtains its first barcode information, and compares the preset barcode information with the first barcode information to determine whether it is the sample rack specified by the user to be placed in the sample table for testing.

[0085] In addition, the steps of S500 include:

[0086] S510, acquiring detection information of the detection area, and then determining whether the reagent in the sample rack located in the detection area has completed detection according to the detection information;

[0087] S520: If yes, control the transport mechanism to move the sample rack located in the detection area to an empty space in the emergency area or the loading area, and then control the transport mechanism to move the sample rack to be operated to the detection area;

[0088] S520', if not, repeat the step of obtaining the detection information of the detection area, and then judging whether the reagent in the sample rack located in the detection area has completed the detection according to the detection information.

[0089] If there are sample racks that have completed testing in the testing area, the sample racks that have completed testing can be moved out to an empty space in the emergency area or loading area through the transfer mechanism, and then the sample racks to be operated can be moved to the testing area for testing by the testing mechanism, ensuring that the sample racks to be operated can be tested first before the sample racks in the emergency area, loading area and testing area.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, the steps of step S520' include:

[0091] 521', if not, obtaining the information to be tested of the area to be tested;

[0094] It is determined whether there is a sample rack placed in the test area. If not, the transfer mechanism is controlled to move the sample rack to be operated located in the receiving position to the test area, so that the receiving position is vacant, so that the staff can use the vacant receiving position to take out or put in the remaining sample racks to be operated as needed.

[0095] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the priority information of each of the sample racks located in the emergency area, the loading area, and the testing area includes:

[0102] S400', determining whether the barcode information to be checked matches the taken barcode information;

[0103] S500', if yes, control the transport mechanism to move the sample rack matching the removed barcode information to the receiving position.

[0104] If the user needs to take out a specified sample rack from the sample table, the user can input the code of the sample rack to be operated, and find the corresponding retrieval barcode information of the sample rack according to the code of the sample rack to be operated, control the barcode scanner to scan the barcodes of each sample rack in the emergency area and the loading area to obtain the barcode information to be checked, and compare the retrieval barcode information with the barcode information to be checked to see whether there is barcode information to be checked that matches the retrieval barcode information. If not, the staff is required to confirm the correctness of the code or that the sample rack that the user wants to take out does not exist in the emergency area and the loading area. If yes, the loading mechanism is controlled to move the corresponding sample rack to the accommodation position so that the staff can take it out from the accommodation position, thereby realizing the automatic retrieval operation of the sample rack specified by the user without stopping the analyzer, thereby ensuring the detection efficiency of the analyzer.
