[0002] In the traditional hospital specimen collection process, specimen collection and management mainly rely on manual operations by medical staff. This manual management method often has multiple limitations and risks. First, the process of manual specimen collection and management is relatively complicated and involves multiple links, which increases the workload of medical staff and reduces overall work efficiency. In addition, cumbersome operating steps are prone to human errors, thus affecting the accuracy and completeness of specimens. At the same time, during specimen collection and transportation, the risk of cross-infection increases significantly due to manual contact with specimens, especially during the high incidence of infectious diseases or in specific departments such as emergency and intensive care units.

[0026] More specifically, the storage module 2, the interactive module 3, the main control module and the driving module 4 are all arranged on the cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is the basis for carrying each module. Each module realizes a different function respectively, and works together to assume various aspects of the performance of the specimen collection equipment.

[0027] More specifically, the storage module 2 is used to provide storage space, and the storage module 2 has the function of sealing and protecting the storage space, and the sealing and protecting function requires the assistance of the interactive module 3 so that the user can store and take out the specimens.

[0028] It can be understood that users include patient users and medical staff users. Patient users and medical staff users have different interaction methods for the interactive module 3. The interaction method of patient users is to scan the identification code on the specimen to unlock the closed mode of the storage module 2 to store the specimen, while the interaction method of medical staff users is to scan the work card or scan the face to unlock the closed mode of the storage module 2 to take away the specimen.

[0029] It should be noted that after collecting samples, patients can store them by themselves. When the samples reach a certain number, medical staff will take the samples away, thereby improving work efficiency and protecting patient privacy.

[0030] More specifically, the function of the driving module 4 is to drive the cabinet 1 to move, connect the driving module 4 with the main control module, and obtain the information of the patient's specimen to be collected through the wireless data connection function of the main control module, thereby driving the cabinet 1 to the designated position, so that the patient can store the specimen in the storage module 2.

[0031] More specifically, the location information of the specimen collection device can be displayed in real time on the designated network service platform through the main control module, and the patient user can query the network service platform through the mobile phone to quickly determine the specific location of the specimen collection device, and then store the specimen, thereby improving the collection efficiency.

[0032] More specifically, the main control module has a data processing function. Through the data processing function, the main control module can receive data obtained by each module for analysis to obtain control instructions corresponding to each module, and by sending the control instructions to each module, the working control of the specimen collection device can be achieved.

[0033] The present invention provides a specimen collection device, which has the following beneficial effects: The specimen collection device provided by the present invention comprises a storage module 2, an interaction module 3, a main control module and a driving module 4. The interactive module 3 identifies the specimen to switch the mode of the storage module 2, so that the user can store the specimen in the storage module 2. The main control module controls the driving module 4 to drive the specimen collection device to the corresponding position, so as to facilitate the user to store the specimen and the medical staff to take away the specimen, thereby solving the problem that manual specimen collection in the existing technology is prone to leaking the patient's privacy.

[0034] Preferably, the storage module 2 includes an inner container 21 , a specimen placement rack 22 , an indication unit 23 and a door cover unit 24 .

[0035] Specifically, the inner container 21 is detachably disposed on the cabinet 1 , and the specimen placement rack 22 is detachably disposed in the inner container 21 . The specimen placement rack 22 has a plurality of placement slots for storing specimens.

[0036] It is understandable that when the specimens stored in the specimen mounting rack 22 meet the standards, the medical staff can disassemble the specimen mounting rack 22 as a whole, thereby transporting the specimens away as a whole.

[0037] More specifically, the indicating unit 23 is disposed at the bottom of the inner tank 21. The indicating unit 23 is used to indicate the designated placement slot on the specimen placement rack 22 when the storage module 2 is switched from the closed mode to the open mode, so as to guide the user to store the specimen in the placement slot corresponding to the indicating operation.

[0038] It is understandable that different positions on the placement rack correspond to different specimens, and corresponding positions are assigned to the specimens according to their types, so that the indicating unit 23 indicates to the patient user where the specimen should be stored, thereby facilitating subsequent testing of the specimen by medical personnel.

[0039] More specifically, the indicating unit 23 may be an indicator light, which illuminates the corresponding placement slot with different colors through the light of the indicator light, and at the same time, through voice guidance, allows the user to place the specimen in the placement slot.

[0040] More specifically, the door cover unit 24 is disposed at the top of the inner liner 21. When the storage module 2 is in a closed mode, the door cover unit 24 maintains a fixed connection state with the inner liner 21. When the storage module 2 is in an open mode, the door cover unit 24 releases the fixed connection state with the inner liner 21.

[0041] More specifically, the door cover unit 24 seals and protects the storage space, and releases the seal to make the storage space open when the user accesses the specimen, so that the specimen can be accessed. The door cover unit 24 protects the storage space.

[0042] Preferably, the interaction module 3 includes a barcode scanner 31 , a face recognition camera 32 and a touch display screen 33 .

[0043] Specifically, the barcode scanner 31 is used to perform number recognition on the specimen or work card to obtain a number recognition result, and transmit the number recognition result to the main control module, so that the main control module controls the storage module 2 to switch between the open mode and the closed mode according to the number recognition result.

[0044] More specifically, the scanning objects of the scanner 31 include the number on the specimen and the medical staff's work permit. That is to say, the specimen in the patient's hand can be directly stored in the storage module 2 by scanning the code, and the medical staff can take the specimen in the storage module 2 by scanning the work permit.

[0045] More specifically, the face recognition camera 32 is used to perform face recognition on the user to obtain a face recognition result, and transmit the face recognition result to the main control module, so that the main control module controls the storage module 2 to switch between the open mode and the closed mode according to the face recognition result.

[0046] More specifically, in addition to scanning the work ID code to unlock the closed mode of storage module 2, medical personnel can also unlock the closed mode of storage module 2 through face recognition.

[0047] More specifically, the touch screen 33 has a display function and a touch function. The touch screen 33 allows users to perform human-computer interaction operations through the touch function, obtains interaction data through human-computer interaction operations, and transmits the interaction data to the main control module, so that the main control module sends control instructions to other modules according to the interaction data. The touch screen 33 displays content to users through the display function, thereby providing operation guidance to users.

[0048] More specifically, the touch screen 33 can display content to guide the user on how to operate the specimen collection device, and can also provide the user with more content inquiries, including a map of the hospital, etc.

[0049] Preferably, the driving module 4 includes an internal power supply, a driving wheel set and a driving motor.

[0050] Specifically, the internal power supply and the driving motor are arranged inside the cabinet 1 , and the driving wheel set is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 1 .

[0051] More specifically, the internal power supply is electrically connected to the drive motor, the internal power supply is used to provide electrical energy to the drive motor, the drive motor is connected to the drive wheel set, and the drive motor is used to drive the drive wheel set to rotate to drive the cabinet 1 to move.

[0052] It can be understood that the internal power supply is used to enable the drive motor to drive. As the drive motor drives, the drive wheel group can be driven to move, thereby driving the entire cabinet 1 to move. The drive wheel group has the function of controlling steering. Based on the steering function, the drive wheel group can drive the cabinet 1 to turn, so that the specimen collection device can be freely moved to any position.

[0053] Preferably, the main control module includes a wireless data module and a data processing module.

[0054] Specifically, the wireless data module is connected to the external terminal or service platform data via wireless data, the data processing module is electrically connected to the wireless data module, the storage module 2, the interaction module 3 and the drive module 4, and the data processing module is used to send control instructions according to the received data to realize the operation of the specimen collection device through control instructions.

[0055] More specifically, the role of the wireless data module is to achieve remote communication. The communication objects include the mobile phones of patient users and medical staff users, as well as the designated network service platform. Information exchange is achieved through remote communication, and the operation of the specimen collection equipment is further analyzed and determined.

[0056] More specifically, the data processing module is a chip with an algorithm program set up, which enables the chip to analyze the received information according to the algorithm program and then determine the corresponding control instructions to drive the operation of the overall specimen collection device.

[0057] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for transporting a specimen collection device, comprising: S1: Acquire specimen preset identification information and specimen sampling location information through wireless data; wherein, the specimen preset identification information is identification information pre-assigned to the specimen when the patient is arranged to collect the specimen, and when the specimen is collected from the patient, the specimen preset identification information will be set on the specimen, and the specimen sampling location information is the specimen collection location when the patient collects the specimen; S2: Generate a corresponding specimen storage plan according to the preset identification information of the specimen; wherein the specimen storage plan includes a specimen storage location, identification and authentication data, and a storage guidance strategy, wherein the specimen storage location is a specific storage location of the specimen corresponding to the preset identification information of the specimen in the storage module 2, the identification and authentication data is used to identify and authenticate the preset identification information of the specimen set on the specimen, and the storage guidance strategy is used to provide storage guidance to the user after the identification and authentication data completes the identification and authentication of the preset identification information of the specimen set on the specimen; S3: generating corresponding storage location information according to the specimen sampling location information, and driving the specimen collection device to move to a position corresponding to the storage location information according to the storage location information, so as to wait for the user to authenticate and store the specimen; S4: receiving the preset identification information of the specimen on the specimen through the interactive module 3, and authenticating the preset identification information of the specimen on the specimen according to the identification authentication data through the main control module. If the preset identification information of the specimen on the specimen meets the authentication processing requirements, the storage module 2 is switched from the closed mode to the open mode, and the storage module 2 and the interactive module 3 are instructed to provide storage instructions to the user, so that the user can store the specimen in the corresponding specific location in the storage module 2. S5: When the specimens stored in the storage module 2 meet the preset standards, a transfer message is sent to the external terminal or service platform through the main control module, and the driving module 4 is driven by the main control module to move the specimen collection device to the designated position, so that the designated user goes to the designated position to transfer the sample as a whole.

[0058] Specifically, in step S1 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, when a patient is arranged for specimen collection, an external terminal or service platform will generate unique specimen preset identification information (such as specimen ID, patient ID, etc.) for each specimen. This identification information is transmitted to the main control module of the device via wireless data. The device system stores this identification information and associates it with the specimen to be collected.

[0059] More specifically, during the specimen collection process, the system will also record the location information of the specimen collection (such as hospital department, sampling time, etc.). This information is stored in the system as the specimen sampling location information. The specimen sampling location information is transmitted to the main control module of the device via wireless data to ensure that the specimen collection location matches the specimen identification information.

[0060] More specifically, the device binds the identity of each specimen based on preset identification information and sampling location information, ensuring that the specimen always corresponds to the collector and the collection location in the subsequent management process. The storage module 2 stores the specimen in the corresponding storage space based on the identification information, ensuring accurate identification when the specimen is subsequently accessed.

[0061] More specifically, the main control module synchronizes data with the external platform or terminal through a wireless data connection, and updates the status and storage location of the specimen in real time. The external terminal or platform can retrieve specimen information at any time through the wireless connection, such as specimen identification information, collection location, etc., to facilitate subsequent specimen management, transportation and analysis. When the specimen needs to be removed, the main control module obtains the preset identification information and location information of the relevant specimen through wireless data, guides the user to remove the correct specimen, and the system records the removal operation and the whereabouts of the specimen to ensure that the entire life cycle of the specimen is under monitoring.

[0062] It can be understood that the preset identification information of the specimen obtained through wireless data ensures that the specimen has a unique and accurate identity throughout the entire process from collection to storage, reducing the risk of specimen confusion or wrong collection. The system automatically obtains and stores the sampling location information of the specimen, so that any subsequent specimen-related operations can trace back to its collection source, improving the traceability and information transparency of the specimen, facilitating the tracking and review of medical processes, and obtaining specimen identification information and sampling location information through wireless data transmission, avoiding the tedious and error-prone traditional manual input or paper records, and improving the efficiency of data collection and management. The system monitors the entire process from specimen collection, storage to retrieval in real time, ensuring that the specimen's movement trajectory and operation records are fully visualized, which helps medical institutions to manage specimens more safely and effectively. The preset identification information of the specimen is bound to the sampling location information to ensure the uniqueness of the specimen, reducing medical accidents caused by specimen identification errors, and improving the safety and accuracy of specimen management.

[0063] Specifically, in step S2 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, after receiving the preset identification information of the specimen, the system generates a corresponding specimen storage plan through internal algorithms or rules, and the storage plan includes the specimen storage location, identification and authentication data, and storage guidance strategy.

[0064] More specifically, the specimen preset identification information is pre-set identification information based on the medical system's arrangement for the patient's specimen sampling. That is to say, when the doctor arranges the patient to go for sampling, the system will automatically generate the corresponding specimen preset identification information. This specimen preset identification information will be set on the specimen in the form of an identification code during sampling, so that the specimen has the ability to be scanned and identified.

[0065] More specifically, the identification and authentication data is data generated based on the preset identification information of the specimen, and is used to identify the identification code on the specimen. The identification and authentication data is transmitted to the specimen collection device, and the specimen collection device identifies the specimen based on the identification and authentication data. If the identification is successful, the closed mode of the storage module 2 is released, allowing the user to store the specimen.

[0066] More specifically, the specimen storage location is generated based on the preset identification information of the specimen, and is a specific storage location pre-arranged for the specimen. The storage guidance strategy is based on the specimen storage location and provides storage guidance to the user, allowing the user to store the specimen in the designated specimen storage location according to the guidance.

[0067] Specifically, in step S3 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, after the system receives the specimen sampling location information, it generates the storage location information corresponding to the specimen according to preset rules or database mapping. The storage location information includes a specific location identifier in the storage module 2, such as a storage unit number or a location coordinate.

[0068] More specifically, the main control module calculates the optimal motion path from the current device position to the target storage location. The calculation takes into account the layout of the storage module 2 and the movement capability of the device to ensure that the device can smoothly reach the designated location. The main control module sends the calculated motion path instruction to the drive module 4. The drive module 4 controls the mobile system of the device to move the device to the target storage location along the predetermined path.

[0069] More specifically, after the device arrives at the target storage location, the system enters standby mode and waits for the user to authenticate and store the specimen. The user authenticates the specimen through interactive module 3 and places the specimen in the storage location specified by the device. The user uses the identification and authentication function to ensure that the specimen matches the storage location information. After the user completes the specimen storage operation, the system records the actual location of the specimen and updates the storage record.

[0070] Specifically, in step S4 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the user scans or inputs the preset identification information (such as a barcode, a QR code, an RFID, etc.) on the specimen through the interactive module 3, and the interactive module 3 receives and transmits the preset identification information of the specimen to the main control module. The main control module performs authentication processing on the received preset identification information of the specimen by identifying the authentication data. The system compares the preset identification information of the specimen with the records in the database to verify whether the specimen information is valid and correct.

[0071] More specifically, if the preset identification information of the specimen passes the authentication process, the main control module sends an instruction to the storage module 2 to switch it from the closed mode to the open mode. The storage module 2 unlocks the corresponding storage space and prepares to accept the specimen storage. The interactive module 3 and the storage module 2 work together to provide storage instructions to the user, instructing the user to store the specimen in the storage location designated by the system. The storage instructions can be presented in visual, sound and other forms to clarify the specific storage location of the specimen. The user places the specimen in the designated storage module 2 position according to the storage instructions provided by the system. The storage module 2 detects that the specimen has been placed correctly, confirms that the operation is complete, and notifies the main control module to update the specimen storage status. After the specimen is stored, the main control module sends an instruction to switch the storage module 2 from the open mode back to the closed mode to ensure the safety of the specimen storage.

[0072] Specifically, in step S5 of the embodiment provided by the present invention, the system continuously monitors the status of the specimens in the storage module 2 through the main control module to check whether there are specimens that meet the preset standards. For example, when a specific storage time, storage capacity, or specimen processing conditions are reached, once the specimens in the storage module 2 meet the preset standards (such as the number of specimens to be transported reaches the upper limit or the storage time reaches the limit), the main control module starts the transport process.

[0073] More specifically, the main control module sends a transfer message to the external terminal or service platform to notify relevant personnel or institutions to prepare to transfer the specimens. The transfer message includes: detailed information of the transferred specimens (such as specimen identification information, quantity, etc.), transfer time and location, and the person in charge or institution of the transfer task.

[0074] More specifically, the main control module instructs the driving module 4 to control the specimen collection device according to the preset transfer plan, and automatically moves the device to the designated location to prepare for subsequent transfer operations. The designated location is usually a specific location near the storage module 2 or the transfer center so that the designated user can easily find and obtain the specimen.

[0075] More specifically, the system notifies designated users (such as transfer personnel, laboratory personnel or logistics companies) through external terminals or service platforms to go to the designated location for the overall transfer of specimens. The notification information includes the specific coordinates of the designated location, specimen details and transfer-related instructions. Designated users go to the designated location according to the information provided by the system and transfer the specimens as a whole. During the transfer process, the system can monitor the status of the specimens in real time and update the transfer progress to ensure that the specimens are safe and controllable throughout the entire transfer process.

[0076] Preferably, when a plurality of specimen sampling position information is acquired within a unit time, comprehensive analysis and processing are performed based on each of the specimen sampling position information to obtain storage location information corresponding to each of the specimen sampling position information.

[0077] Preferably, the step of performing comprehensive analysis and processing according to each of the specimen sampling position information to obtain storage location information corresponding to each of the sampling position information comprises: S61: performing independent analysis and processing on each of the sample sampling position information to obtain storage location information of each of the sample sampling position information, and using each of the sample sampling position information as an analysis unit; S62: constructing a regional simulation map according to the area that the specimen collection device can reach, and marking the difficulty of the device movement on the regional simulation map according to the real-time location information of the specimen collection device, so as to mark the difficulty of the device movement at each specific location on the regional simulation map; wherein the difficulty of the device movement is used to describe the difficulty of the specimen collection device moving to the specific location; S63: marking each of the analysis units on the regional simulation map, and performing position distribution analysis on each of the marked analysis units based on the regional simulation map to obtain position distribution characteristics of each of the analysis units on the regional simulation map; wherein the position distribution characteristics are used to describe the position information of each of the analysis units on the regional simulation map; S64: setting a plurality of intermediate nodes on the regional simulation map based on the location distribution characteristics, and calculating the aggregation difficulty of each of the intermediate nodes according to the location distribution characteristics; wherein the aggregation difficulty is used to describe the overall difficulty of each of the analysis units going to the intermediate nodes; S65: analyzing and processing the equipment movement difficulty of each intermediate node according to the equipment movement difficulty of each specific position of the regional simulation map, so as to obtain the equipment movement difficulty of each intermediate node; S66: Perform weighted calculation on the aggregation difficulty and device movement difficulty of each intermediate node to obtain a weighted confidence parameter of each intermediate node, and use the intermediate node with the optimal weighted confidence parameter as the storage location information corresponding to each sampling location information.

[0078] Specifically, the sampling location information of each specimen is analyzed independently to determine the storage location information of each sampling location, and these analysis units represent each sampling location respectively.

[0079] More specifically, based on the moving range of the specimen collection equipment, a regional simulation map is constructed, and the difficulty of equipment movement is marked on the map. For example, considering factors such as obstacles, channel width, and the turning radius of the equipment, the equipment movement difficulty value is marked for each specific location on the map, and each sampling location (analysis unit) is marked on the regional simulation map. According to the marked position, the position distribution analysis of the marked analysis units is performed to identify the distribution characteristics of these locations, such as density and concentration.

[0080] More specifically, based on the location distribution characteristics, several intermediate nodes are set on the regional simulation map. These nodes represent possible transit points or assembly points. The gathering difficulty of each intermediate node is calculated. Taking into account the overall difficulty of traveling from each analysis unit to the intermediate node, such as path length, obstacles, etc., the movement difficulty of each intermediate node is analyzed according to the equipment movement difficulty of each specific location on the regional simulation map to determine the movement difficulty value of the intermediate node.

[0081] More specifically, the aggregation difficulty of the intermediate nodes and the difficulty of device movement are weightedly calculated to obtain the weighted confidence parameter of each intermediate node, and the intermediate node with the best weighted confidence parameter is selected as the final storage location information, that is, the storage location corresponding to all sampling location information at the same time.

[0082] It can be understood that by independently analyzing and comprehensively processing the information of each sampling location, the difficulty of equipment movement and the difficulty of aggregation of intermediate nodes, it is ensured that the final selected storage location can comprehensively consider various factors and optimize the selection of storage locations. By weighted calculation of intermediate nodes, the optimal storage location information is selected, which improves the efficiency of specimen transportation and storage, reduces the difficulty of equipment movement, and reduces transportation costs. The equipment's movement difficulty marking and location distribution analysis on the regional simulation map helps to rationally plan the equipment's movement path and task allocation, and improves the efficiency and flexibility of equipment operation.

[0083] Preferably, the method further includes transmitting the storage location information to an external terminal or service platform via wireless data, so that a user can query the storage location information in real time via the external terminal or service platform.

[0084] Specifically, after analyzing the specimen sampling location information, evaluating the difficulty of equipment movement, and weighted calculation of intermediate nodes, the system generates the final storage location information and determines the optimal specimen storage location. The system transmits the storage location information to the external terminal or service platform through a wireless data transmission module (such as Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G, Bluetooth, etc.). The transmitted data includes the specific location of the storage location, the identification information of the specimen, and related timestamps and other information to ensure that the external terminal or platform can obtain the latest storage location details. After receiving the storage location information, the external terminal or service platform will store and display this information to the user. The terminals include mobile phone APP, web platform, computer client, etc. Users can view the specimen storage location information in real time through these terminals. Users log in and access the storage location information interface through the external terminal or service platform, and can query the specific storage location of the specimen at any time. The system will provide real-time query function to ensure that users can obtain the latest storage information, and can provide navigation or prompt functions to help users locate the specimen storage location more conveniently.

[0085] Preferably, the method further includes collecting and analyzing device status information of a plurality of the specimen collection devices to drive the coordinated work of each of the specimen collection devices, the steps of which include: S71: collecting device status information of each of the specimen collection devices respectively to obtain device simulation characteristics for feeding back the device status of the specimen collection device; wherein the device status includes storage status, location status and battery life status of the specimen collection device; S72: simulating the task-bearing capability of each of the specimen collection devices based on the device simulation characteristics of each of the specimen collection devices to obtain a task-bearing index of each of the specimen collection devices; wherein the task-bearing index is used to describe the capability of the specimen collection device to bear specimen collection; S73: Generate a task target index based on multiple specimen sampling location information obtained within a unit time, and allocate and process the task target index according to each of the task undertaking indices to obtain a task allocation quota for each of the specimen collection devices corresponding to the task target index, and drive each of the specimen collection devices to perform corresponding collection work according to the task allocation quota of each of the specimen collection devices.

[0086] Specifically, the device status information of each specimen collection device is collected to obtain the real-time status data of the device. These data include: storage status: the storage capacity of the device, the number and status of currently stored specimens, etc., location status: the current location of the device, moving path, movement restrictions, etc., and battery life status: the battery power of the device, battery life, etc.

[0087] More specifically, based on the collected equipment status information, simulated features of the equipment are generated. These features are used to describe the current capabilities and status of the equipment and provide basic data for subsequent analysis.

[0088] More specifically, the task-bearing capacity of each specimen collection device is simulated. The simulated characteristics of the device (such as storage status, location status, and battery life) are used to calculate the device's task-bearing index, which describes the ability of each device to undertake specimen collection tasks under current conditions.

[0089] More specifically, a task target index is generated based on the sampling location information of multiple specimens obtained within a unit time. The task target index reflects the amount of tasks that need to be completed and their priority. The task target index is allocated and processed based on the task undertaking index of each specimen collection device, and the amount of tasks or task priority that each device should undertake is determined. The task allocation amount corresponding to each device is calculated. The task allocation amount is the amount of tasks that the equipment can undertake, and it is reasonably allocated based on the condition and capability of the equipment.

[0090] More specifically, the task allocation quota drives each specimen collection device to perform the corresponding collection work. The device performs the task according to the allocation quota and coordinates the work to complete the specimen collection.

[0091] It can be understood that by collecting and analyzing the status information of multiple specimen collection devices, it is possible to achieve collaborative work between devices, give full play to the capabilities of each device, and optimize the specimen collection efficiency. Based on the allocation processing of the device's task undertaking index and task target index, it is possible to achieve accurate task allocation, so that the workload of each device matches its capabilities, avoiding the problem of equipment overload or uneven task distribution. The real-time collection and analysis of equipment status information helps to rationally allocate resources, improve equipment utilization, and ensure the efficient completion of specimen collection tasks.

[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
