For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 2 , through specific embodiments and application scenarios, an automatic detection laboratory provided by an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic testing laboratory, including: a laboratory body 1, a control system, a mobile robot 2, a sample sorting station 3 and a plurality of testing stations.

[0026] The laboratory body 1 has a workstation setting area 11 and a moving channel 12. The sample separation station 3 and a plurality of testing stations are arranged in the workstation setting area 11. The moving channel 12 is used for the mobile robot 2 to walk.

[0027] The sample sorting station 3 is used to prepare samples to be tested. The mobile robot 2 is used to transport the samples to be tested to each testing station. Multiple testing stations are used to test different indicators of the samples to be tested. The control system is connected to the mobile robot 2 and each testing station in communication.

[0028] Specifically, the sample to be tested can be a dairy product such as milk, yogurt or fruit milk known in the art. After the sample is transported to the laboratory body 1, the sample is received and scanned by the sample separation station 3. The sample separation station 3 determines the type of sample through the information obtained by scanning the code, and then determines the items required to be tested for the sample based on the user input and the sample separation station 3 divides the sample to be tested into the corresponding sample container or opens the sample. Taking the division into the corresponding sample container as an example, a barcode is affixed to each sample container. Several sample containers are placed in the discharge area of ​​the sample separation station 3 to wait for the mobile robot 2 to pick up. The control system sends a sample picking instruction to the mobile robot 2, and the mobile robot 2 walks to the sample separation station 3 after receiving the sample picking instruction. The control system realizes information sharing between the mobile robot 2, the sample separation station 3 and multiple detection stations. The control system controls the mobile robot 2 to pick up the sample container and walk to the corresponding detection station according to the output information of the sample separation station 3, so that the sample to be tested is transported to each detection station by the mobile robot 2 for detection of various indicators. The number of mobile robots 2 can be multiple, so as to improve the transportation efficiency of the samples to be tested. For example, the number of mobile robots 2 can be two, three, five or eight, etc., which is not specifically limited. The mobile robot 2 can be an AGV robot, a GOAF robot or an AMR robot, etc., which is well known in the art, which is not specifically limited.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sample separation station 3 and multiple detection stations are arranged in the laboratory body 1. Optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, the sample separation station 3 and multiple detection stations are arranged in multiple rows in the station setting area 11, and the stations in each row are arranged in a horizontal staggered manner, and a mobile channel 12 is formed between two adjacent rows. Optionally, the sample separation station 3 and multiple detection stations are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the station setting area 11. The sample separation station 3 is located at the front end, middle or rear end of the multiple detection stations, and the mobile channel 12 is arranged on the side of the single row of stations formed by the sample separation station 3 and the multiple detection stations to ensure the compactness of the layout of each station. Among them, the sample separation station 3 and the multiple detection stations can also be arranged in other ways. For example, the sample separation station 3 and the multiple detection stations are arranged in multiple rows, with each two rows forming a group, and the two rows of stations in the same group are arranged next to each other, and the mobile channel 12 is located at the periphery of the single group of stations. Among them, the stations in different rows in the same group can be arranged in a staggered manner or aligned. The mobile robot 2 shuttles through the mobile channel 12 to transfer the sample to be tested from the sample separation station 3 to the corresponding detection station.

[0030] After the mobile robot 2 moves to the testing station, the sample bottle is placed on the receiving window of the testing station through the mechanical arm. After the testing station receives the sample to be tested, it scans the barcode on the sample container to confirm the information of the sample to be tested again; after confirmation, it starts to test various indicators of the sample to be tested. Among them, some testing stations can automatically start the testing process after receiving the sample, and other testing stations start the testing process after receiving the testing instructions sent by the control system. Some of the testing stations can also automatically issue final test results or intermediate test results after completing multiple indicator tests, and send the test results to the control system. The control system and the client terminal are connected in communication to feed back the test results to the client terminal.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mobile robot 2 has a tray, and the tray can support multiple sample containers at one time, so as to improve the transportation efficiency of the mobile robot 2 in providing the samples to be tested to each testing station.

[0032] In the automatic testing laboratory provided by the present invention, the sample sorting station 3 is used to pack and process samples for sample preparation. After receiving the task instruction from the control system, the mobile robot 2 walks to the sample sorting station 3 to pick up the samples to be tested, and transfers the samples to be tested to each testing station along the moving channel 12. Each testing station automatically tests various indicators of the samples to be tested. The present invention can automatically realize sample sorting, transportation and testing operations, thereby ensuring the testing efficiency of the samples to be tested. There is no need for excessive personnel participation during the testing process, and relevant testing items are automatically completed by each testing station, thereby avoiding the influence of manual operation and subjective judgment of the testing personnel on the test results, thereby ensuring the authenticity and validity of the test results.

[0033] In some embodiments, the automatic detection laboratory further comprises a transport robot. The laboratory body 1 is provided with a storage area. The transport robot is used to transport samples in the storage area to the sample separation station 3. The sample separation station 3 performs different packaging processes on the samples based on the identification codes of the samples.

[0034] Optionally, the handling robot can be an AGV trolley. The AGV trolley is used to transport samples from the storage area to the sample sorting station 3. In order to save transportation time, the storage area can be set in the area near the entrance of the laboratory body 1, and the sample sorting station 3 is set next to the storage area. The samples are stored in the storage area, and the AGV trolley transports the samples to the sample sorting station 3. An identification code is provided on the packaging of the sample. A variety of sample containers are stored in the sample sorting station 3, such as sample bottles, droppers or culture dishes. After the sample arrives at the sample sorting station 3, the sample sorting station 3 first scans the identification code of the sample to obtain the type information of the sample. After the user inputs the items to be tested for the sample, the sample sorting station 3 adaptively selects the sample container and determines the sample quantity based on the items to be tested. For example, when the sample sorting station 3 identifies the sample as milk, the operating equipment of the sample sorting station 3 pours the milk sample into a sample bottle; when the sample sorting station 3 identifies the sample as probiotic milk, the operating equipment of the sample sorting station 3 pours the probiotic milk sample into a culture dish. After the sample sorting station 3 completes the sample packaging, a barcode is affixed to the surface of the sample container for the detection station to identify after receiving the sample container.

[0035] Therefore, the samples from the storage area are transported to the sampling station 3 by the handling robot, without the need for manual handling, thereby improving the sample transportation efficiency; the sampling station 3 obtains the type information of the sample by scanning the identification code of the sample, and then performs different packaging treatments on the sample based on the type information of the sample, thereby facilitating the subsequent detection operations of each detection station and improving the sample detection efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the automatic testing laboratory also includes a recycling station. The recycling station is arranged in the station setting area 11. The mobile robot 2 is used to transport the discarded sample containers after the testing of each testing station to the recycling station, and the recycling station is used to clean the discarded sample containers and / or collect the waste from the testing station and the sample separation station 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, each testing station is provided with a cleaning area. After the test is completed, the discarded sample containers are concentrated in the cleaning area for cleaning. The waste after cleaning the sample containers, other waste products of the testing station, and the waste generated by the sampling station 3 are transported by the mobile robot 2 to the recycling station for centralized treatment. Some of the cleaned sample containers are transported by the mobile robot 2 to the sampling station 3 to realize the circulation of the sample containers, and the other sample containers are stored in the cleaning area for use by the testing station. Optionally, the recycling station can be separately set up in the laboratory body 1 to uniformly collect the waste from the sampling station 3 and each testing station.

[0038] In other embodiments, each testing station is provided with a collection area. The discarded sample containers after the test are temporarily stored in the collection area, and the mobile robot 2 transports the discarded sample containers in the collection area to the recycling station, which performs centralized cleaning, disinfection and other operations on the discarded sample containers of each testing station. Optionally, the recycling station is integrated into the sample sorting station 3, so that the operating equipment of the sample sorting station 3 can directly take the sample containers after cleaning to carry out sample packaging, thereby improving the sample sorting rate. Alternatively, the recycling station and the sample sorting station 3 are separately arranged, and according to actual needs, the cleaned sample containers are transported by the mobile robot 2 to the sample sorting station 3 or each testing station to realize the recycling of the sample containers.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multiple testing stations include at least one of a sensory testing station 4, an adulteration testing station 5, a physical and chemical rapid testing station 6, a rheological station 7, a freezing point density and acidity testing station 8, an impurity testing station 9, a microbial rapid testing station 10, a microbial standard testing station 20, an organic matter testing station 30 and an inorganic matter testing station 40.

[0040] The sensory testing station 4 is used to detect the taste and smell of the sample to be tested.

[0041] Adulterant detection station 5 is used to detect the adulterant content of the sample to be tested. Among them, sensory detection station 4 and adulterant detection station 5 are both used to detect sensory indicators of the sample to be tested, and the sensory indicators include color, black spots, shape, taste or smell, etc.

[0042] The sensory testing station 4 performs operations such as boiling and cooling the sample to be tested, and then the testing personnel taste and smell the sample to be tested to obtain the taste and smell results of the sample to be tested, and then manually upload the taste and smell test report to the control system.

[0043] The content of dopants in the sample to be tested has a great influence on the color of the sample to be tested. During the detection process, according to the actual detection needs, the sample to be tested can be subjected to doping tests such as 75% alcohol test, 72% alcohol test, alkali test, subsalt test, phosphate test or calcium chloride test through the dopant detection station 5 to detect the content of various dopants in the sample to be tested. Among them, the dopant detection station 5 is provided with a visual recognition system, which compares the color and morphology of the sample to be tested before and after the dopant test through the visual recognition system, thereby distinguishing the content of dopants such as sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate in the sample to be tested, and uploading the comparison and detection result report to the control system.

[0044] The physical and chemical rapid testing station 6 is used to test the fat, protein, total solids and sugar content of the sample to be tested. The physical and chemical rapid testing station 6 uses the physical and chemical rapid testing method to test the above index content of the sample to be tested, and automatically issues the test results to the control system.

[0045] Rheological station 7, freezing point density and acidity detection station 8 and impurity detection station 9 are all used to detect the physical and chemical standard indicators of the sample to be tested. The physical and chemical standard indicators involve indicators such as fat, total solids, sugar, acidity, density, freezing point, viscosity, impurity, fruit content, fruit visibility, fruit breakage and soluble solids. Among them, rheological station 7 is equipped with operating equipment such as rheometer to detect the viscosity of the sample to be tested. In addition, rheological station 7 is also equipped with a visual recognition system to observe the color of the sample to be tested, so as to distinguish the nitrate content in the sample to be tested. Freezing point density and acidity detection station 8 is used to detect the freezing point, density and acidity of the sample to be tested. Impurity detection station 9 is used to detect fruit and soluble solids in the sample to be tested.

[0046] When it is necessary to test the physical and chemical standard indicators of the samples to be tested, the samples to be tested in the same batch can be sent to the physical and chemical rapid testing station 6, the rheological station 7, the freezing point density and acidity testing station 8 and the impurity testing station 9 for testing by the mobile robot 2. By collecting the test results of these four stations, all the physical and chemical standard indicators of the samples to be tested can be obtained.

[0047] The microbial rapid testing station 10 uses a microbial rapid testing method to test the total colony count and somatic cell count of the sample to be tested, and can automatically issue the test results to the control system.

[0048] The microbial standard testing station 20 uses the microbial standard testing method to test the total colony count, bacterial species and somatic cell count in the sample to be tested, and can automatically issue the test results to the control system. The bacterial species include coliform bacteria, total coliform bacteria, molds and yeasts, psychrophilic bacteria, aerobic spores, thermophilic aerobic spores, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria or mites, etc.

[0049] The organic matter detection station 30 is used to detect the content of organic pollutants in the sample to be tested and can automatically provide the test results to the control system. The organic pollutants include benzoic acid, sorbic acid, melamine, acesulfame potassium, erythromycin and aflatoxin.

[0050] The inorganic substance detection station 40 is used to detect the content of heavy metals and trace elements in the sample to be tested, and can automatically provide the test results to the control system. Among them, heavy metal elements include arsenic, lead, mercury and chromium, and trace elements include calcium, sodium and zinc.

[0051] In the case where the plurality of testing stations include a microbiological standard testing station 20, specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, the microbial standard detection station 20 is divided into a culture medium station 201 and a colony culture station 202 .

[0052] The culture medium station 201 is used to configure the culture medium required by the colony culture station 202. The culture medium station 201 is provided with an automatic batching device, a heating device and a cooling device to prepare the culture medium. After the culture medium is prepared, a peristaltic pump is used to pack the culture medium. The culture medium station 201 and the colony culture station 202 are arranged adjacent to each other to facilitate the supply of culture medium to the colony culture station 202. The mobile robot 2 is used to transport the culture medium after packing to the colony culture station 202, and the mechanical arm realizes the automatic opening of the physiological saline, gradient dilution and pouring of the culture medium to improve the transportation and detection efficiency of the samples to be tested. The colony culture station 202 is provided with equipment such as an incubator and a colony counter, and the colony culture station 202 automatically issues the test results without manual operation, thereby reducing the detection error.

[0053] In the case where the plurality of inspection stations include the sensory inspection station 4, the sensory inspection station 4 is provided with a processor, a temperature sensor, a heating device and an alarm. The mobile robot 2 is used to place the sample to be tested into the heating device. The temperature sensor is installed in the heating device and is used to monitor the temperature of the sample to be tested. The temperature sensor and the alarm are electrically connected to the processor respectively. The processor is used to control the alarm to sound an alarm when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the sample to be tested has cooled to a preset temperature.

[0054] Optionally, the heating device may be an electric ceramic stove. The sample to be tested is poured into the electric ceramic stove by the mechanical arm of the mobile robot 2, and the sample to be tested is boiled by the electric ceramic stove, and the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the sample to be tested in real time. After the sample to be tested is boiled, the heating is stopped, and when the processor determines that the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor cools to a preset temperature, the alarm is immediately controlled to respond, so as to prompt the tester to taste and smell the sample to be tested.

[0055] Optionally, the alarm is a smart alarm, which is linked to the mobile phone application of the inspector to send a prompt signal to the mobile phone of the inspector to prompt the inspector via the mobile phone.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laboratory body 1 is provided with at least two layers. For example, the laboratory body 1 includes a first layer room 13 and a second layer room 14. The first layer room 13 and the second layer room 14 are both provided with a workstation setting area 11. A plurality of testing workstations are separately provided in the workstation setting area 11 of the first layer room 13 and the second layer room 14.

[0057] The first chamber 13 is located below the second chamber 14, and the sample separation station 3 is arranged in the first chamber 13, and samples are supplied to the two chambers by means of one sample separation station 3. An elevator 15 is arranged between the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14, and the elevator 15 can transfer the samples in the first chamber 13 to the second chamber 14. Of course, the sample separation station 3 can also be arranged in the second chamber 14, and the elevator 15 can be used to supply samples to the first chamber 13 located below.

[0058] The laboratory body 1 may be multi-layered, such as three-layered or four-layered, and the sample separation station 3 is arranged in one of the layers. For example, the laboratory body 1 is three-layered, and the sample separation station 3 is arranged in the middle, and the samples are supplied to the upper and lower layers through the elevator 15. Of course, the sample separation station 3 can also be arranged in the layer room at the bottom or the layer room at the top, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] In this embodiment, a storage area and a recycling station are provided in the laboratory body 1. The storage area and the sample sorting station 3 are provided in the first layer chamber 13 to facilitate sample introduction. The number of detection stations arranged in the first layer chamber 13 and the second layer chamber 14 can be different or the same. For example, six are arranged in the first layer chamber 13 and four are arranged in the second layer chamber 14; or, five are arranged in the first layer chamber 13 and the second layer chamber 14 respectively. The arrangement layout of the detection stations in the first layer chamber 13 and the second layer chamber 14 can be the same or different. For example, the various stations in the first layer chamber 13 can be arranged in a single row in sequence, or multiple rows can be arranged in intervals in the first layer chamber 13, and no specific limitation is made to this. The arrangement of the various stations in the second layer chamber 14 can refer to the above layout and will not be repeated one by one. It should be noted that when the multiple detection stations include the microbial standard detection station 20, the culture medium station 201 and the colony culture station 202 are arranged in the same layer chamber to facilitate the mobile robot 2 to quickly transport the culture medium to the colony culture station 202.

[0060] The elevator 15 can be an elevator in the prior art. Both the first floor room 13 and the second floor room 14 have a mobile robot 2. The mobile robot 2 located in the first floor room 13 places the sample in the elevator 15. After the sample to be tested is transported to the second floor room 14 by the elevator 15, the mobile robot 2 in the second floor room 14 takes the sample to be tested out of the elevator 15 and transfers it to each testing station in the second floor room 14. Of course, the mobile robot 2 can also carry the elevator 15 from the first floor room 13 to the second floor room 14 to transport the sample to be tested to each testing station in the second floor room 14 for testing.

[0061] Optionally, a recycling station is provided in each of the first-layer chamber 13 and the second-layer chamber 14. In the case where the inspection station does not have a cleaning area, the discarded sample containers after the inspection at each inspection station are transported by the mobile robot 2 to the recycling station on the corresponding layer for cleaning. In the first-layer chamber 13, the mobile robot 2 transfers the cleaned sample containers to the sample sorting station 3 along the moving channel 12; in the second-layer chamber 14, the cleaned sample containers are picked up and descended to the first-layer chamber 13 via the elevator 15, and the mobile robot 2 transports them back to the sample sorting station 3.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment specifically includes: a sensory detection station 4, an adulteration detection station 5, a physical and chemical rapid detection station 6, a rheological station 7, a freezing point density acidity detection station 8, an impurity detection station 9, a microbial rapid detection station 10, a microbial standard detection station 20, an organic matter detection station 30 and an inorganic matter detection station 40.

[0063] To ensure the reasonable layout of the automatic testing laboratory, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sensory detection station 4, adulteration detection station 5, physical and chemical rapid detection station 6, rheological station 7, microbial rapid detection station 10, and microbial standard detection station 20 are all arranged in the station setting area 11 of the first layer chamber 13. The freezing point density acidity detection station 8, impurity detection station 9, organic matter detection station 30, and inorganic matter detection station 40 are all arranged in the station setting area 11 of the second layer chamber 14. Of course, each station can be reasonably placed and laid out according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the first-layer room 13 has a pedestrian area 141 for people to walk. The pedestrian area 141 can be set in the wall area of ​​the first-layer room 13 to ensure the reasonable layout of the workstation setting area 11 and the moving channel 12. The workstation setting area 11 and the pedestrian area 141 of the first-layer room 13 do not overlap each other, and the way of separating people and machines is adopted to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents caused by people and machines sharing the same channel, so as to meet the safety management requirements of the automatic detection laboratory.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the first layer chamber 13 and the second layer chamber 14 are respectively provided with a charging station 142. The charging station 142 is used to park the mobile robot 2 of the corresponding layer chamber and to charge the mobile robot 2.

[0066] The charging station 142 can be set in the middle or corner area of ​​the first floor room 13. The charging station 142 is provided with multiple charging stations to charge multiple mobile robots 2 at the same time. When the mobile robot 2 does not receive a task instruction, it is parked at the charging station to prevent the mobile robot 2 from being parked randomly and affecting the reasonable layout of the entire automatic detection laboratory. The layout of the charging station 142 in the second floor room 14 is similar to that of the first floor room 13, and will not be repeated.

[0067] By respectively setting up charging stations 142 in the first-layer chamber 13 and the second-layer chamber 14, the working efficiency of the mobile robot 2 can be effectively improved, ensuring that it can quickly restore energy after completing the task, thereby supporting higher-frequency operation needs and improving the overall intelligence level of the automatic detection laboratory.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
