In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0053] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a control system for grabbing and moving a Dewar tank with a mechanical arm. In this embodiment, the control system is a control program set in a computer, which includes:

[0054] A partitioning module is used to divide the interior of the Dewar tank into regions according to the storage time of the biological samples and establish a coordinate system; in this embodiment, the internal space of the Dewar tank is divided into regions in the up and down directions according to the storage time required for the biological samples, and the storage time required for the biological samples stored in the regions from top to bottom gradually increases, that is, the longer the storage time, the closer the biological samples are stored to the bottom of the Dewar tank. A coordinate system is established in the internal space of the Dewar tank, with the center of the opening of the Dewar tank as the coordinate origin, the direction from the opening of the Dewar tank to the bottom of the Dewar tank as the positive direction of the coordinate system, and the position of each area is expressed by the coordinates. The position division is also set inside each area. The larger the size of the biological sample in the same area, the closer it is placed to the bottom, and a coordinate system is established. One area corresponds to one coordinate system, and the position within the area is expressed by the coordinates.

[0055] The information base module is used to preset the information corresponding to the biological sample number and store the information; in this embodiment, the partition coordinate system of the Dewar tank and the coordinate system within the area are preset in the information base, and the information expressed by each digit of the biological sample number is preset in the information base, and the coordinate system is associated with the number to form an information base module, so that the path generation module can retrieve matching information from it to generate a path for the robot arm to grab the biological sample.

[0056] The input module is used to identify and input the number of the biological sample and select the storage or retrieval function; in this embodiment, the input module includes an automatic input module and a manual input module, the automatic input module includes a visual recognition device, and the manual input module includes a keyboard input device. The automatic input module is used to visually identify the number of the biological sample before storing the biological sample; the manual input module is used for human-computer interaction, selecting the storage or retrieval function, and manually inputting the number of the biological sample to be taken before taking the biological sample.

[0057] The path generation module is used to match the biological sample number input by the input module with the information in the information library module, and generate the path instruction that the robot arm needs to move; in this embodiment, after the path generation module generates the path for the robot arm to move, the return path of the robot arm takes the original path and does not generate a new path, so as to avoid touching other biological samples and reduce the calculation amount of the control system.

[0058] The control module serves as a connecting bridge between the control system and the robotic arm, and is used to control the robotic arm to move according to path instructions to store or retrieve biological samples.

[0059] The recording module is used to record the position occupancy information in the Dewar tank and the storage and access information of the biological samples, so that the vacant positions can be found accurately and orderly when storing the biological samples, and the target biological samples can be found accurately when taking the biological samples.

[0060] The invention discloses a robot arm grabbing and moving control system for a dewar jar, which realizes automatic grabbing of biological samples by intelligently controlling the robot arm, rationally plans the internal space of the dewar jar, places biological samples that need to be stored for a long time in the lower area, and stores biological samples with large sizes in the same area at the lower area, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the dewar jar and making the storage and use of biological samples more convenient and orderly.

[0061] The described Dewar's jar robot arm grabbing mobile control system, wherein the partition module includes a first coordinate system, the first coordinate system corresponds to the position of each area divided inside the Dewar's jar, and the storage time interval corresponding to the internal partition of the Dewar's jar gradually shortens from bottom to top. In this embodiment, the origin of the first coordinate system is the center of the Dewar's jar opening, and the internal space of the Dewar's jar is divided into upper and lower layers according to the storage time of the biological sample. Each layer can be provided with one or more storage areas. The middle position of each area is expressed by the first coordinate system, and each area is coded with capital letters in English, such as the position coordinates of area A are A(X A , Y A , Z A ). When storing biological samples, biological samples that need to be stored for a long time are placed in the lower layer area, and biological samples that need to be stored for a short time are placed on the upper layer, because biological samples with a short storage time will be taken out earlier. This planning and placement makes it more convenient to take biological samples.

[0062] The described Dewar's jar robot arm grabbing mobile control system, wherein the partition module also includes a plurality of second coordinate systems, the plurality of second coordinate systems respectively correspond to the internal positions of the various regions in the Dewar's jar, and the number of second coordinate systems is the same as the number of regions divided inside the Dewar's jar. In this embodiment, the origin of the second coordinate system is the middle of the bottom of the region, and the position division is also performed in each region, and the biological samples are layered up and down according to their size. The first layer is the bottom layer in the same region, and at least one storage position is set on the same layer. The middle position of each position is expressed by the second coordinate system, and each layer is coded with lowercase English letters, such as the coordinate of the third position of the first layer is a(x a3 ,y a3 ,z a3 ). When storing biological samples, biological samples with larger sizes are placed at the lower level in the area to make the storage of biological samples more orderly and convenient for access.

[0063] The described Dewar tank mechanical arm grabbing mobile control system, wherein the information library module includes a storage time information library, a biological sample size information library and a free position information library, the storage time information library is used to preset and store codes of multiple different storage time intervals and match with the first coordinate system, the biological sample size information library is used to preset and store codes of size information of different biological samples and match with the second coordinate system, and the free position information library is used to store the coordinate information of all free positions in the Dewar tank. In this embodiment, the storage time interval can be divided into 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc., and each time interval is matched with the internal partition of the Dewar tank, that is, each time interval can use the English capital letters corresponding to the internal area of ​​the Dewar tank as the code, so when the number representing the storage time in the identification number of the biological sample is identified, the storage time information library can match the corresponding storage area. The size of biological samples is divided into intervals according to the size of the sample box, and each size interval is matched with the layers in each area, that is, each size interval can use the English lowercase letters corresponding to the layers in the area as codes. Therefore, when the number representing the sample size in the identification number of the biological sample is identified, the biological sample size information library can match the corresponding storage level. The free position information library saves the vacant position information of the biological sample in the Dewar tank, so that when storing biological samples, it can accurately find the appropriate empty space for storage and avoid misplacing.

[0064] In the described Dewar tank robotic arm grabbing mobile control system, the number of the biological sample is formed by a combination of several English letters and Arabic numerals, wherein the Nth number corresponds to a code representing a plurality of storage time intervals, and the N+1th number corresponds to a code representing the size of different biological samples. In this embodiment, the information library module pre-sets the meaning of the Nth and N+1th numbers of the biological sample number and their association with the coordinate system, so as to facilitate matching the number to determine the pick-up and placement position of the biological sample.

[0065] The described control system for grabbing and moving the robot arm of the dewar jar includes a fixed path preset in the path generation module from the opening of the dewar jar to the designated starting position of the robot arm. In this embodiment, whether storing or taking biological samples, the robot arm needs to go back and forth between a designated position and the opening of the dewar jar. Therefore, this fixed path can be pre-set in the control system to reduce the amount of calculation of the control system.

[0066] In some other embodiments, if multiple dewar tanks are provided, it is necessary to establish a third coordinate system for the positions of the multiple dewar tanks. The third coordinate system takes the position of the robotic arm as the origin. The multiple dewar tanks are classified according to the different types of biological samples stored and corresponding codes are set. The code can be replaced by numbers or letters, and the code and corresponding information are preset in the information library module.
