Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostics, and more particularly to a display method, a sample processing apparatus, and a storage medium containing an executable program. Background Technology

[0002] In the slide staining machine, slide baskets are needed to collect stained blood smears and transport them to a designated location. Therefore, a slide basket conveying module is needed to transport empty slide baskets to the slide loading position, complete the slide collection action, and then transport the slide baskets containing blood smears to a location that is convenient for the user to take out.

[0003] In existing technologies, users can view sample information, such as the sample number, remaining time / slide completion time, slide preparation method, or sample description. However, they can only view a single sample and cannot achieve the goal of monitoring multiple or / and all samples simultaneously. There is also no monitoring or display of the slide basket transportation status on the slide basket transport module. Without an intuitive display of the slide basket transportation status, users cannot quickly obtain sample processing progress or grasp the slide basket transportation status information, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Of course, the operation command can also be triggered in various ways, such as by preset voice or preset gesture.

[0084] The second operation command is to send an operation command to put the sample processing device into automatic or manual mode. The user can trigger the second operation command by clicking or touching the display icon of the sample processing device. Of course, the operation command can also be triggered in a variety of ways, such as by preset voice or preset gesture.

[0085] The third operation command is to send operation commands to display sample information in the slide basket. Users can trigger the third operation command by clicking or touching the display icon of the sample processing device. Of course, the operation command can also be triggered in various ways, such as by preset voice or preset gesture.

[0086] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present invention and are not configured to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the invention.

[0087] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0088] Various modifications and variations can be made to this invention without departing from its spirit or scope, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, this invention is intended to cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the appended claims (the claimed technical solutions) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the embodiments provided in this invention can be combined with each other without contradiction.

[0089] To better understand the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the accompanying drawings.

[0090] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a sample processing device including a slide basket conveying module, a smear preparation module for preparing sample slides, and a staining pool module for staining sample slides. The smear preparation module and the staining pool module are located on the same side of the conveying module, which can reduce the size of the sample processing device and facilitate users to put in and take out the slide basket in the same position.

[0091] [Sample processing device transfer module]

[0092] First, refer to Figure 5-9 The transmission module of the sample processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0093] The conveying module includes n parallel conveying tracks and a track conversion component. The conveying tracks transport slide baskets. The i-th conveying track has an insertion station, and the j-th conveying track has an exit station. The track conversion component transports the slide basket between at least the i-th and j-th conveying tracks. At least the i-th and j-th conveying tracks, together with the track conversion component, form a closed-loop conveying trajectory for the slide basket. Optionally, n equals 2.

[0094] <Automatic Slide Basket Recirculation Mode>

[0095] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, when it is necessary to collect sample slides using a slide basket, an empty slide basket can be placed on the first track 110 at the placement station 111. The slide basket is then conveyed along the first track 110 to the insertion station 114, awaiting the insertion of sample slides. After the sample slides are collected, the slide basket is conveyed to the output track-changing station 121 via the first transverse component 210. The slide basket is then conveyed along the second track 120 to the removal station 123, awaiting the user to retrieve the sample slides. Once the sample slides are removed, the slide basket is conveyed back to the placement station 111 on the first track 110 via the second transverse component 220, thus achieving the cyclical transport of the slide basket. Since no manual assistance from operators is required for the cyclical transport of the slide basket, the automation level of the slide basket transport and the system's working efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, the parallel arrangement of the transport tracks occupies less space.

[0096] <Manual Sample Slide Delivery Mode>

[0097] When it is necessary to use a slide basket to transport sample slides to be stained, and to collect the sample slides after staining, the sample slides to be stained can be placed into the slide basket, and the slide basket containing the sample slides can be placed on the first track 110 by the placement station 111. Then the slide basket is transported along the first track 110 to the slide insertion station 114. The sample slides are taken out from the slide insertion station 114 for staining, and after staining, they are inserted back into the slide basket. Then they are transported to the second track 120 by the first transverse component 210, and then transported along the second track 120 to the removal station 123, waiting for the user to pick up the sample slides.

[0098] This simplifies the structure of the slide-staining machine, reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and improves the utilization efficiency of the slide basket conveying system.

[0099] <Track Conversion Component>

[0100] like Figure 7 As shown, the track conversion assembly includes a first lateral movement assembly and a second lateral movement assembly. Both the first lateral movement assembly 210 and the second lateral movement assembly 220 include a lateral movement pusher 201 and a first transmission mechanism. The first transmission mechanism can drive the lateral movement pusher 201 to reciprocate between the first track 110 and the second track 120. The lateral movement pusher 201 can push the slide basket 000, thereby realizing the cross-track movement of the slide basket 000. Optionally, to ensure accurate reset of the lateral movement pusher 201, the first lateral movement assembly 210 and the second lateral movement assembly 220 may further include a pusher reset detection assembly. The pusher reset detection assembly may include a slotted photoelectric sensor and a baffle.

[0101] <Lifting Component>

[0102] like Figure 8 , 9As shown, a lifting assembly 310 can be installed at the slide insertion station 114 of the first track 110. The lifting assembly 310 is used to lift the slide basket 000 that has reached the slide insertion station 114 upward so that the slide basket 000 is removed from the first track 110.

[0103] After the first track 110 transports the slide basket 000 to the insertion station 114, the lifting component 310 lifts the slide basket 000 upwards, causing it to leave the transport track. Then, the insertion operation is carried out. In this way, the insertion operation will not affect the operation of the first track 110. The first track 110 can run continuously after the slide basket 000 transport system is started, which can improve the transport efficiency of the slide basket 000. In addition, the continuous operation of the first track 110 will not affect the positioning of the slide basket 000, so that the subsequent insertion operation can be carried out stably.

[0104] <Slide Basket Workstation>

[0105] like Figure 6 As shown, a drying station 115 can also be set on the conveying path of the first track 110. The drying station 115 is located downstream of the slide insertion station 114. After the stained sample slide is inserted into the slide basket 000 located in the slide insertion station 114, the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the drying station 115 through the first track 110. The stained sample slide is dried in the drying station 115.

[0106] Optionally, after the sample slides loaded in the slide basket 000 are dried at the drying station 115, they can be transferred from the drying station 115 to the output track-changing station 121 on the second track 120 via the first transverse transfer component 210. Of course, after the sample slides are dried at the drying station 115, they can also be transferred downstream along the first track 110 and then transferred to the output track-changing station 121 on the second track 120 via the first transverse transfer component 210.

[0107] Optionally, a insert inspection station 113 may also be set on the conveying path of the first track 110. The insert inspection station 113 is adjacent to the insert station 114 and is located upstream of the insert station 114.

[0108] It is understandable that, in order to improve collection efficiency, multiple slide baskets 000 can be placed on the conveying module when collecting sample slides. After the slide baskets 000 are conveyed to the slide insertion station 114, they need to stay at the slide insertion station 114 for a preset time in order to facilitate the insertion of sample slides.

[0109] To reduce operator waiting time, an input buffer station 112 can also be set on the conveying path of the first track 110. The input buffer station 112 is located between the placement station 111 and the slide insertion station 114. The input buffer station 112 is preferably able to store multiple slide baskets 000.

[0110] After the slide basket 000 is placed on the first track 110 from the placement station 111, it is first transported to the input buffer station 112 for queuing and buffering, and then transported one by one to the slide insertion station 114, so that the operator can place multiple slide baskets 000 from the placement station 111 onto the first track 110 in sequence.

[0111] Understandably, after the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the removal station 123, it needs to stay at the removal station 123 for a preset time to facilitate the removal of the sample slides. To improve collection efficiency, optionally, an output buffer station 122 can also be set on the conveying path of the second track 120. The output buffer station 122 is located between the output track changing station 121 and the removal station 123, and the output buffer station 122 is preferably capable of storing multiple slide baskets 000.

[0112] After the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the output track changing station 121 by the first transverse component 210, it is first transported to the output buffer station 122 for queuing and buffering, and then transported one by one to the removal station 123, so that the first transverse component 210 can operate continuously.

[0113] <Basket Detection Module>

[0114] In some optional embodiments, to achieve automatic cyclic conveying of the slide basket 000, the conveying module may further include a control module and a basket detection module 400, which may be mounted on a base frame. The basket detection module 400 is used to detect whether there is a slide basket 000 at at least one station on the conveying track. The basket detection module 400 is connected to the control module, which can control the operation of the conveying track and the track conversion assembly based on the detection results of the basket detection module 400.

[0115] Optionally, the basket detection module 400 can detect whether there is a slide basket 000 at each station position on the first track 110 and the second track 120. That is, the basket detection module 400 can simultaneously detect whether there is a slide basket 000 at the positions of the placement station 111, input buffer station 112, slide insertion detection station 113, slide insertion station 114, drying station 115, output track changing station 121, output buffer station 122, and removal station 123. Optionally, the basket detection module 400 may include multiple basket detectors, each basket detector corresponding to detect whether there is a slide basket 000 at one station. Optionally, each basket detector can be mounted on a base frame and set on one side of the corresponding detection station.

[0116] <Sample Detection Module>

[0117] The sample detection module includes a first sample detector 510 for detecting whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000 at the insertion station 111. The sample detection module may include a second sample detector 520 for detecting whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000 at the slide insertion detection station 113, and a third sample detector for detecting whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000 at the removal station 123.

[0118] The slide basket transport module provided in this embodiment of the invention can include an automatic slide basket circulation mode and a manual sample slide transport mode. In the automatic slide basket circulation mode, the slide basket 000 can collect smeared and stained sample slides, smeared sample slides, smeared and methanol-pre-fixed sample slides, or printed sample slides. In the manual sample slide transport mode, the slide basket 000 can transport slides containing sample slides to be stained and collect the sample slides after staining; alternatively, it can transport empty slide baskets 000 to collect sample slides.

[0119] The following is a detailed explanation of the cyclic process of slide basket 000 when the transfer module is in automatic slide basket circulation mode and manual sample slide transfer mode, respectively.

[0120] When it is necessary to collect sample slides using the slide basket 000, the slide basket conveying module is set to automatic slide basket circulation mode, and the slide basket 000 is placed on the first track 110 by the placement station 111. After the first basket detector detects the slide basket 000 at the placement station 111, the first sample detector 510 checks whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000. If a sample slide is detected, an alarm device will sound to remind the operator to remove the slide basket 000. At the same time, the first blocking member 630 will prevent the slide basket 000 from being conveyed downstream. If the sample detector 510 does not detect a sample slide, the first blocking member 630 is in the release state, and the slide basket 000 is conveyed downstream along the first track 110 to the input buffer station 112, where it queues up and waits. Next, the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the slide insertion detection station 113, where it is blocked by the first blocking pull-back member. Simultaneously, the second sample detector 520 detects whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000. If a sample slide is detected, an alarm is triggered; otherwise, the first blocking pull-back member is controlled to release the slide. When the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the slide insertion station 114, it is lifted upwards to the insertion position by the lifting component 310, awaiting the insertion of the sample slide by the robotic arm module. After insertion, the lifting component 310 lowers the slide basket 000 onto the first track 110, and the slide basket 000 is conveyed along the first track 110 to the drying station 115 for drying. After drying, the first transverse component 210 conveys the slide basket 000 to the output track changing station 120. 21. The slide basket 000 completes its cross-track movement; then the slide basket 000 is transported along the second track 120 to the output buffer station 122 and blocked by the second blocking pull-back member. When the sample slide in the slide basket 000 placed at the removal station 123 is removed, the second blocking pull-back member releases the slide basket 000 and it is transported to the removal station 123. When the sample slide in the slide basket 000 is removed, the second transverse component 220 transports the slide basket 000 to the placement station 111 on the first track 110, realizing the cyclic transport of the slide basket 000.

[0121] When single staining of sample slides is required, the slide basket conveying module is set to manual sample slide conveying mode, and the slide basket 000 containing sample slides is placed on the first track 110 by the placement station 111. After the first basket detector detects the slide basket 000 at the placement station 111, the first sample detector 510 checks whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000. If no sample slide is detected, an alarm device will sound to remind the operator to remove the slide basket 000 or the sample slide to be placed. At the same time, the first blocking member 630 will prevent the slide basket 000 from being conveyed downstream. If the first sample detector 510 detects a sample slide, the first blocking member 630 is in the release state, and the slide basket 000 is conveyed downstream along the first track 110 to the input buffer station 112, where it queues up and waits. Then the slide basket 000... The slide basket 000 is conveyed to the slide insertion detection station 113. At this time, the slide basket 000 is blocked by the first blocking pull-back resistor. At the same time, the second sample detector 520 detects whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000. If no sample slide is detected, an alarm is triggered. If a sample slide is detected, the first blocking pull-back resistor is controlled to release the slide. When the slide basket 000 is conveyed to the slide insertion station 114, the slide basket 000 is lifted to the insertion position by the lifting component 310. It waits for the robot arm module to take the sample slide out of the slide basket 000 and move it to the staining pool for staining. After the sample slide is stained, it is inserted back into the slide basket 000 by the robot arm module. After the slide insertion is completed, the lifting component 310 drives the slide basket 000 to descend to the first track 110. The subsequent movement process of the slide basket 000 is the same as that of the slide basket 000 in the automatic circulation mode, and will not be described in detail here.

[0122] Optionally, the slide basket 000 or sample slide can be directly placed into the input buffer station 112 exposed outside the machine body, and the slide basket 000 or sample slide can also be directly removed from the output buffer station 122 exposed outside the machine body.

[0123] [Interface Display]

[0124] Reference Figure 10a and Figure 10b This document describes the process for displaying the film production progress of a sample.

[0125] In step S101, sample information is acquired. Specifically, sample information can be acquired automatically via a scanner or similar device, or manually by the operator.

[0126] In step S102, the preset film preparation time for a sample is determined, and the film preparation progress is displayed on the first interface. Specifically, the method for determining the preset film preparation time is to determine the required film preparation time for the sample based on the acquired sample information and the preset film preparation method, and then display the film preparation time for that sample on the first interface. For example, if one sample's information is acquired, the preset film preparation time for that sample is determined, and the film preparation progress for that sample is displayed on the first interface; if the second sample's information is acquired, the preset film preparation time for that sample is determined, and the film preparation progress for that sample is displayed on the first interface; if the third sample's information is acquired, the preset film preparation time for that sample is determined, and the film preparation progress for that sample is displayed on the first interface; and so on, until the Nth sample's information is acquired, the preset film preparation time for that sample is determined, and the film preparation progress for that sample is displayed on the first interface; it can be understood that the first interface can display the film preparation progress of N samples.

[0127] The sample preparation progress display step in step S102 specifically includes steps S1021 and S1022.

[0128] S1021, the first preset action triggers the start of timing, and the corresponding sample preparation progress is updated and displayed in real time on the first interface. Specifically, the first preset action can be the robotic arm module picking up a sample tube, or it can be when the sample slide only needs staining, the robotic arm module picks up the sample slide from the slide basket of the slide insertion station of the transfer module, starts timing, and then the sample preparation progress is updated and displayed in real time on the first interface. It can be understood that after the timing starts, the first interface can start displaying the countdown progress of the preset sample preparation time, or it can start displaying the positive countdown progress of the preset sample preparation time.

[0129] S1022, the second preset action triggers a timer reset, and the corresponding sample slide preparation progress is removed from the first interface. Specifically, the second preset action may be that the robotic arm module places the prepared sample slide into the slide basket of the slide insertion station of the transfer module.

[0130] It is understandable that the first and second preset actions can also be other actions that can meet the production progress timing requirements, and this is not limited here.

[0131] Reference Figure 11 The process for displaying the transport status of the slide basket used to hold the slides is explained.

[0132] In S201, the slide basket and / or sample slide information in the slide basket are detected in the transfer module. Specifically, the basket detection module 400 detects whether there is a slide basket 000 at a corresponding workstation; the sample detection module detects whether there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000 at a corresponding workstation; and the detection module on the robotic arm module detects the number of sample slides inserted into the slide basket. For example, after the sample slides are stained, they are inserted into the slide basket 000 by the robotic arm module. Each time the robotic arm module performs an insertion action, it triggers the detection module on the robotic arm module and also counts the sample slides in the slide basket 000 once.

[0133] In S202, the presence or absence of a slide basket, the presence or absence of sample slides, and / or the quantity of sample slides in the slide basket are determined and dynamically displayed in real time on the second interface. Specifically, through the detection step in S201, the presence or absence of a slide basket, the presence or absence of sample slides, and / or the quantity of sample slides in the slide basket are determined. Further, if it is determined that there is no slide basket (000), the state of "no slide basket (000)" is dynamically displayed in real time at the corresponding position on the second interface. If it is determined that there is a slide basket (000) and there are no sample slides in the slide basket (000), the state of "slide basket (000) with an unknown number of sample slides" is dynamically displayed in real time at the corresponding position on the second interface. If it is determined that there is a slide basket (000) and there are sample slides in the slide basket (000), the state of "slide basket (000) with a known number of slides" is dynamically displayed in real time at the corresponding position on the second interface. If it is determined that there is a slide basket (000) and the quantity of sample slides in the slide basket (000) is determined, the state of "slide basket (000) with a known number of slides" is dynamically displayed in real time at the corresponding position on the second interface.

[0134] [Interface Structure]

[0135] The following is for reference Figure 1-4 The interface structure of the sample processing device is described.

[0136] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the interface displaying the slide preparation status according to an embodiment of the present invention. The interface includes a label area A for users to switch between different working states and a working status display area B for displaying these different working states. Label area A includes at least two labels for users to switch between: slide preparation status and slide basket status. When a user selects one of the labels in label area A, the corresponding working status will be displayed in working status display area B. More specifically, when the user selects the label corresponding to the slide preparation status, the slide preparation progress status will be displayed in working status display area B; when the user selects the label corresponding to the slide basket status, the slide basket transportation status (for placing sample slides) will be displayed in working status display area B. Figure 3A or Figure 3B .

[0137] According to the display method provided in this embodiment of the invention, users can switch between different display interfaces to monitor the sample preparation progress and the slide basket transportation status, intuitively see the processing progress of each sample on the sample processing device and / or grasp the slide basket transportation status information, making it convenient for users to quickly grasp the current working status of the sample processing device and improve work efficiency and viewing efficiency. Especially when there are urgent or special circumstances requiring information about a sample, the exact slide output time of that sample can be determined.

[0138] In some optional embodiments, when a user selects to display the production status via a label, the production progress of at least a first number and a second number of samples are displayed on the first interface for the user to choose from, with the first number being less than the second number. Optionally, two labels are set in display area B4, and the production progress of the first and second numbers of samples corresponding to each label is displayed in display area B1. More specifically, two labels are set in display area B4, and the labels can display corresponding quantities, such as "Top 15" and "All". When the user selects the label "Top 15", the production progress of up to 15 samples is displayed in display area B1. When the user selects the label "All", the production progress of all samples is displayed in display area B1. In this way, users can select the production progress of the samples they want to know according to different needs. When they do not need to know the production progress of most samples, they can switch to select the production progress of a small number of samples on the same interface, which allows them to grasp the production progress of the samples more intuitively and quickly.

[0139] In some optional embodiments, the preparation progress of a first number of samples is displayed using at least one of the following: a progress bar, an hourglass, or a pie chart; the preparation progress of a second number of samples is displayed in a list, such as... Figure 2 The display area B1. Optionally, the production progress of a small number of samples can be displayed graphically using a progress bar, hourglass, or pie chart on an interface of the same size, while the production progress of the majority of samples can be displayed in a list, where the table header can be "Sample Number" and "Remaining Time". This avoids a cluttered interface or excessively small graphics that would make it difficult for users to view. The progress bar or pie chart can be displayed using either a countdown or a forward countdown method.

[0140] In some optional embodiments, when the user selects to display the slide preparation status via a tab, the sample information of the sample that has been prepared and placed in the slide basket is displayed. This makes it convenient for the user to understand the information of the sample slides that have been prepared, and prevents the completed samples from disappearing from the slide preparation progress display area B1.

[0141] In some optional embodiments, when a user selects to display the slide preparation status via a label, the current staining method and current process node of any sample are displayed according to the first operation instruction. Optionally, if the user selects a sample in display area B1, the current staining method and current process node of the selected sample will be displayed simultaneously in display area B3, such as... Figure 2 Display area B3 displays the data when no sample is selected in display area B1. Figure 1 Display area B3 shows the results when a sample is selected in display area B1, indicating that the selected sample is using the WG staining method and is currently in the WG solution fixation process node. The current staining method can be the one selected by the user from the sample processing device, and it is always displayed in display area B3, allowing the user to clearly see the staining method currently being used by the device. In this way, the user can easily grasp the current staining method and current process node of any sample in display area B1, enabling the user to monitor the sample preparation status from multiple perspectives.

[0142] In some optional embodiments, process nodes are displayed using a first icon, which includes at least one of the following five icons, representing smear preparation, methanol pre-fixation, staining, staining, and washing, respectively. Optionally, display area B3 displays five process nodes corresponding to the five icons, in the following order: smear preparation, methanol pre-fixation, staining, staining, and blood smear washing. Text annotations can be added near each icon to explain the different process nodes. The five icons are always displayed in display area B3, allowing the user to clearly understand the slide preparation process of the staining method corresponding to the device at any time. Figure 1 Display area B3 displays the information when a sample is selected in display area B1. The color and / or graphic of the WG staining icon changes to indicate that the selected sample is using the WG staining method and is currently at the WG staining process node. Of course, the process node settings can also be customized according to the smear staining steps. This allows users to not only monitor the sample preparation progress but also quickly grasp the current process node of any given sample.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, when the user selects to display the film production status via a tab, the total number of samples with incomplete film production and the overall progress of all samples with incomplete film production are displayed. Optionally, display area B2 can also display the total number of samples with incomplete film production and the total remaining production time for all samples with incomplete film production. This allows the user to clearly understand how many samples are still in production and how much longer it will take to complete the work.

[0144] This invention also provides a display method, which includes: displaying the transport status of a slide basket of a sample processing device for placing sample slides on a display unit; configuring a second icon corresponding to the transport status of the slide basket, the second icon being configured along a circular transport trajectory.

[0145] Figure 3A The configuration of the second icon b0, which displays the transport status of the slide basket, corresponds to the configuration of the slide basket on the transfer module of the sample processing device. The second icon b0 can display various statuses, such as... Figure 4 As shown, empty slot 401 indicates that there is no slide basket 000 at this position; slide basket 402 indicates that there is a slide basket 000 at this position; slide basket 403 with unknown number of sample slides indicates that sample slides have been detected in the slide basket 000 at this position, but the number is unknown; slide basket 404 with a clear number of sample slides indicates that sample slides have been detected in the slide basket 000 at this position, and the number of slides is indicated by the number of horizontal lines in the icon. For the icons displaying these slide basket 000 statuses, users can clearly know the number of slides carried in the slide basket 000 on the transport module and have a more intuitive understanding of the operation of the slide basket 000 on the transport module.

[0146] When the conveying module includes two conveying tracks arranged in parallel and a track conversion component, the transport trajectory of the slide basket 000 on the conveying module is circular. At this time, the display unit is configured to display the circular transport trajectory of the slide basket 000, so that the user can see the operation of the slide basket 000 on the conveying module more intuitively.

[0147] More specifically, the working status display area B has a conveyor module track display area 100, which contains station display areas 200 for different workstations where the slide basket 000 is located. The station display area 200 can display a slide basket icon b0. Optionally, an arrow indicating the conveying direction of the slide basket 000 is provided next to the station display area 200 along the track display area 100. An icon is added next to the drying workstation displayed in the station display area 200 to remind the user that the corresponding workstation is drying workstation 115. A double-headed arrow icon is added next to the slide insertion workstation displayed in the station display area 200 to remind the user that the corresponding workstation is slide insertion workstation 114. Here, the sample slide is taken out from the smear preparation module or staining pool module by the robotic arm module and inserted into the slide basket 000, or the sample slide is taken out from the slide basket 000 by the robotic arm module and placed into the smear preparation module or staining pool module.

[0148] In some optional embodiments, a corresponding third icon is configured on the transport trajectory, and according to the second operation instruction, at least one of the following displays is performed: displaying the third icon or not displaying the third icon; displaying a first type of third icon or displaying a second type of third icon, wherein the first type of third icon is different in shape and / or color from the second type of third icon.

[0149] More specifically, when the user selects automatic mode via the second operation command, icon b1 is displayed; when the user selects manual mode via the second operation command, icon b1 is not displayed, allowing the user to always know which operating mode the sample processing device is currently in. Optionally, when the user selects automatic mode via the second operation command, an arrow icon b1 for directional indication is displayed; when the user selects manual mode via the second operation command, as shown... Figure 3B The system displays a disabled icon b2 to indicate when the operation is off. Of course, icons b1 and b2 can have different shapes and colors, allowing users to clearly understand the current operating mode of the sample processing device through the interface.

[0150] In some optional embodiments, different workstation areas are configured on the transport module of the display sample processing device along the transport trajectory. The transport module track display area 100 contains different workstation display areas 200 for the slide basket 000, including an insertion workstation display area 2001 corresponding to the transport module insertion workstation 111, an input buffer workstation display area 2002 corresponding to the transport module input buffer workstation 112, a slide insertion detection workstation display area corresponding to the transport module slide insertion detection workstation 113, a slide insertion workstation display area 2003 corresponding to the transport module slide insertion workstation 114, a drying workstation display area 2004 corresponding to the transport module drying workstation 115, an output track changing workstation display area 2005 corresponding to the transport module output track changing workstation 121, an output buffer workstation display area 2006 corresponding to the transport module output buffer workstation 122, and a removal workstation display area 2007 corresponding to the transport module removal workstation 123. This allows the user to more intuitively grasp the operation of the slide basket at different workstations.

[0151] Optionally, the slide basket icon b0 in the insertion station display area 2001, the removal station display area 2007, and the slide insertion detection station display area can be displayed as icon 401, 402, or 403 according to the detection status of the basket detection module 400, the first sample detector 510, the second sample detector 520, and the third sample detector; the slide basket icon b0 in the input buffer station display area 2002, the drying station display area 2004, the output track changing station display area 2005, and the output buffer station display area 2006 can be displayed as icon 401 or 402 according to the detection status of the basket detection module 400; the slide basket icon b0 in the slide insertion station display area 2003 can be displayed as icon 401, 402, or 404 according to the detection status of the basket detection module 400 and the detection status of the number of insertion actions of the robot module. Optionally, when the slide insertion detection station 113 detects that there is a sample slide in the slide basket 000, the slide basket 000 is transported to the slide insertion station, and the slide basket icon b0 in the slide insertion station display area 2003 is displayed with icon 403.

[0152] In some optional embodiments, at least one of the workstation areas is displayed differently from the other workstation areas. Optionally, the input workstation display area 2001, the slide insertion workstation display area 2003, and the removal workstation display area 2007 are displayed differently from the other workstation display areas, allowing users to quickly understand the operation status of the slide baskets at the input / insertion / removal workstations. Optionally, the slide insertion workstation display area 2003 is displayed differently from the other workstation display areas, allowing users to quickly understand the operation status of the slide baskets at the insertion workstation and the sample status after slide preparation.

[0153] In some optional embodiments, each workstation area includes at least a slide insertion workstation area. A second icon corresponding to the transport status of the slide basket in the slide insertion workstation area on the transport trajectory is used to display the number of sample slides inserted into the slide basket. Optionally, the second icon changes in real time based on the obtained information about the change in the number of sample slides inserted into the slide basket. For example, when the robotic arm module inserts the first sample slide into the slide basket 000 of the slide insertion workstation area, the corresponding display icon 404 in the slide insertion workstation display area 2003 will have one horizontal line. When the robotic arm module inserts the second sample slide into the slide basket 000 of the slide insertion workstation area, the corresponding display icon 404 in the slide insertion workstation display area 2003 will have two horizontal lines, and so on.

[0154] In some optional embodiments, different workstation areas configured on the transfer module of the sample processing device are distinguished and displayed on the transport trajectory using dashed and / or solid lines. Optionally, the workstation display area 200 uses a solid line to display the insert workstation display area 2003, and multiple dashed lines to respectively display the placement workstation display area 2001, the input buffer workstation display area 2002, the drying workstation display area 2004, the output track changing workstation display area 2005, the output buffer workstation display area 2006, and the removal workstation display area 2007. Of course, different colors can also be used to replace solid and dashed lines, which is not limited here. Because the lifting component of the insertion station will remove the slide basket 000 from the transport track before the insertion operation is carried out, the insertion operation will not affect the operation of the first track 110. The first track 110 can run continuously after the slide basket 000 transport system is started, which can improve the transport efficiency of the slide basket 000. In addition, the continuous operation of the first track 110 will not affect the positioning of the slide basket 000, so that the subsequent insertion operation can be carried out stably.

[0155] Therefore, using solid and dashed lines to distinguish the slide insertion station from other stations means that the slide insertion station is not on the same horizontal plane as other stations; that is, a solid line indicates that the slide insertion station can operate higher than other stations. This allows users to more quickly identify the slide insertion station and understand the operation of the slide basket at that station.

[0156] It is understandable that the insert inspection station 113 is adjacent to and upstream of the insert station 114, and can also be understood as part of the input buffer station. That is, the insert inspection station display area and the input buffer station display area 2002 can be displayed with a dashed box.

[0157] In some optional embodiments, according to a third operation instruction, the sample information corresponding to the second icon is displayed on the same interface. More specifically, the user selects the slide basket icon b0 on the slide insertion station display area 2003, and the sample information in the slide basket 000, such as the sample number, is displayed on the same interface. Figure 12 As shown. This interface also allows users to quickly grasp the information about the samples already placed in the basket. Of course, the display method in this embodiment can also be applied to the display method of the first embodiment to display the transport status of the slide basket in the first embodiment.

[0158] This invention also provides a display method, which includes: displaying the sample preparation progress of several sample preparation devices and the sample information of sample slides that have been prepared and placed in slide baskets in separate areas on a display unit. This allows users to view the sample information of sample slides already placed in slide baskets and the preparation progress of multiple samples simultaneously on the same display interface.

[0159] Optionally, based on the acquired information that the sample preparation is complete and has been placed in the slide basket, the progress of the sample preparation being completed and placed in the slide basket is removed from the first display area, and the sample information of the sample that has been completed and placed in the slide basket is added to the second display area. This makes it convenient for users to understand the information of the sample slides that have been prepared, preventing the completed sample from disappearing from the progress display area B1 or from being displayed indefinitely and occupying display space in the display area B1. It allows users to easily grasp the sample information of the sample slides that have been placed in the slide basket, and also allows for timely updates and additions of new sample information to the display area B1.

[0160] Optionally, the second display area can display a*N samples, where a is a positive integer and N is the maximum number of sample slides that a slide basket can hold. The slide basket is used to carry the sample slides on the transfer module of the sample processing device. More specifically, for example, when a=1 and N=6, a slide basket can hold a maximum of 6 sample slides, and display area B5 can display the sample number and other information of 6 samples; when a=2 and N=6, a slide basket can hold a maximum of 6 sample slides, and display area B5 can display the sample number and other information of 12 samples. This makes it convenient for users to understand the information of the sample slides that have been prepared, and prevents the completed samples from disappearing from the slide preparation progress display area B1.

[0161] Optionally, based on the information that one of the slide baskets is full of sample slides, the N sample information displayed in the corresponding second display area is cleared; or based on the information that a preset time has been reached, the several sample information displayed in the corresponding second display area are cleared. More specifically, when the slide insertion station 114 waits for the slide basket to be full of sample slides or the slide basket waiting time reaches its upper limit, the first track 110 receives a transfer instruction, and the transfer slide basket leaves the slide insertion station 114, clearing all sample information in the display area B5 that has been inserted into the basket.

[0162] Of course, the display method in this embodiment can also be applied to the display method in the first embodiment to display the film preparation status in the first embodiment.

[0163] [Assumptive Scenario]

[0164] Hereinafter, an example of a hypothetical scenario in which the display method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be effectively used will be described.

[0165] The sample processing device of the present invention allows users to select between automatic and manual modes. The automatic mode is the automatic circulation mode of the slide basket, and the manual mode is the manual placement of the slide basket 000 into the transfer module by the user. Users can also select different slide preparation modes, including but not limited to staining mode, smear mode, smear + staining mode, smear + methanol fixation mode and printing mode. When the user selects both manual mode and staining mode, it is the manual transfer mode of the sample slide.

[0166] Manual sample slide delivery mode:

[0167] If only slide basket 000 is detected at placement station 111 without sample slides, slide basket icon b0 in placement station display area 2001 displays icon 402, and slide basket 000 does not move forward. If sample slides are present at placement station 111, slide basket icon b0 in placement station display area 2001 displays icon 403, and slide basket 000 moves forward to slide insertion detection station 113. The second sample detector 520 receives an instruction to detect whether there are sample slides in the current slide basket 000. If there are no sample slides, slide basket 000 is sent to removal station 123. If there are sample slides, slide basket icon b0 in slide insertion detection station display area displays icon 403, and slide basket 000 is sent to slide insertion station 114. Slide basket icon b0 in slide insertion station display area 2003 displays icon 403, waiting for slide retrieval and staining.

[0168] After staining is completed, the sample slide is placed back into the slide basket 000 in the slide insertion station 114. The slide basket icon b0 in the slide insertion station display area 2003 is a real-time changing icon 404. The slide basket 000 is then transferred to the drying station 115, and the slide basket icon b0 in the drying station display area 2004 displays icon 402.

[0169] Once drying is complete, the sample slides are transferred to the removal station 123, where they await pickup by the user.

[0170] Users can clearly and quickly understand the placement status of the slide basket through the display on the slide basket status interface, avoiding situations where the slide basket is forgotten to be placed while the sample processing device has already started slide preparation work such as smear staining.

[0171] Automatic slide basket circulation mode:

[0172] If there are no sample slides in the slide basket 000 placed on station 111, icon 402 will be displayed on slide basket icon b0 in station display area 2001; if there are sample slides, icon 403 will be displayed on slide basket icon b0 in station display area 2001. The transfer module receives the instruction to transfer slide basket 000 from input buffer station 112 to slide inspection station 113. The second sample detector 520 receives an instruction to check if there are sample slides in the current slide basket 000. If there are no sample slides, the slide basket 000 is sent to the slide insertion station 114 to wait for slide insertion. According to the number of sample slides inserted by the robotic arm module, the slide basket icon b0 in the slide insertion station display area 2003 changes in real time, displaying icon 404. If there are sample slides, the slide basket icon b0 in the slide insertion detection station display area displays icon 403, and the slide basket 000 is transferred to the removal station 123 to wait for slide retrieval. The third sample detector receives an instruction to check if there are slides in the current slide basket 000. If there are sample slides, it continues to wait for the user to retrieve the slides. If there are no sample slides and the loop is open, icon b1 is displayed, and the slide basket 000 is transferred to the placement station 111. If the loop is closed, icon b2 is displayed, and the slide basket waits for the user to retrieve it at the removal station 123.

[0173] In the slide insertion station 114, the slide basket 000 waits until it is full of sample slides or the slide basket 000 waits until the upper limit is reached. Once the sample slide insertion is complete, the slide basket 000 is transferred to the drying station 115. The slide basket icon b0 in the drying station display area 2004 displays icon 402.

[0174] Once drying is complete, slide basket 000 is transferred to removal station 123, awaiting user retrieval. The third sample detector receives an instruction to check if slides are present in slide basket 000. If sample slides are present, it continues to wait for user retrieval. If no sample slides are present and the cycle is open, icon b1 is displayed, and slide basket 000 is transferred to placement station 111. If the cycle is closed, icon b2 is displayed, and slide basket remains at removal station 123 awaiting user retrieval.

[0175] It should be noted that in practical applications, users can directly place slide baskets 000 or sample slides from the input buffer station exposed outside the machine body, and can also directly remove slide baskets 000 or sample slides from the output buffer station exposed outside the machine body. This causes the sample processing device to be unable to correctly determine the actual sample slide situation in the slide baskets 000 of the input buffer station 112 and the output buffer station 122. Moreover, users only care about whether there are slides in the placement station 111, the removal station 123 and the slide insertion detection station 113, and how many slides are currently in the slide insertion station 114. Therefore, the slide basket icon b0 in the drying station display area 2004, the output track changing station display area 2005, the input buffer station display area 2001 or the output buffer station display area 2006 can only update the display icon 401 or 402 in real time according to the actual detection situation of the basket detection module.

[0176] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide a sample processing device, including: a conveying module for conveying a slide basket; the conveying track of the conveying module and the track conversion component can jointly form a closed-loop transport trajectory for the slide basket, so that the slide basket can circulate along the closed-loop transport trajectory; a smear preparation module for preparing sample slides; a staining pool for staining the sample slides; a detection module for detecting whether there are sample slides and slide baskets on the conveying module and the number of sample slides inserted into the slide basket by the gripper; a display unit; and a control unit for controlling the display unit to display a first interface and a second interface that can be switched by the user, the first interface for displaying the slide preparation progress status, and the second interface for displaying the slide basket status for placing the slides.

[0177] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer storage medium storing an information display program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the display method described above.

[0178] It should be noted that the descriptions of the above-described sample processing apparatus and computer storage medium embodiments are similar to those of the above-described method embodiments, and have similar beneficial effects. For technical details not disclosed in the embodiments of the sample processing apparatus and computer storage medium of the present invention, please refer to the descriptions of the method embodiments of the present invention for understanding.
