Description

[0070] The prior art is used to dilute or hemolyze the test cycle originally planned for new samples, but each additional pretreatment reduces the speed by 50%. In addition, when the sample is diluted and retested, a second dilution operation is required, which increases the use of samples, increases the hospital's blood sampling requirements for individuals, and also increases the use of components such as sampling needles and reduces the service life of various consumables. Therefore, the present application provides a sample processing and scheduling system and a control method to improve sample processing speed and reduce costs.

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a sample processing and scheduling system, which exemplarily comprises a controller, a reaction disc assembly 110, a sampling needle assembly 120, and a reagent needle assembly 130. Further, the system also comprises a wiping assembly 140 and a cleaning assembly 150.

After the end of the second rotation stage of the n5th rotation period, control the cleaning assembly 150 to clean the target reaction cup according to the cleaning site, such as Figure 3 corresponding to the 14a in the middle.

[0117] Further, the cleaning site is calculated using the following formula:

[0118] W=((n5+1-n1)×g+1)%C

[0119] Wherein, W is the corresponding cup position number of the cleaning position in the reaction disc assembly 110, n5 is the serial number of the n5th rotation cycle, n1 is the serial number of the n1th rotation cycle, g is the preset cup position number, and C is the total number of cup positions in the reaction disc assembly 110.

[0120] The control method of the sample processing and scheduling system of the present application will be described below in combination with a specific example. In the present example, C = 60, C1 = -22, C2 = -41, C3 = -59, and each rotation cycle is negatively progressive by (C1 + C2 + C3) % C cups, i.e. 2 cups. After the reaction disc is reset, the 0th cup position corresponds to the 0th cup, the wiping assembly 140 is located at the 0th cup position, the 1st cup corresponds to the 1st cup position, and the cup positions are arranged in counterclockwise order. After resetting, the 0th and 1st cups are wiped and diluted. The cup positions are fixed on the reaction disc, and the cups are rotated. As shown in FIG. 12a, according to the reaction system, the diluent is added before the 0th rotation cycle, the sample and the reagent are added in the 2nd cycle, the diluted sample is added in the 3rd cycle, the sample is weighed and measured in the 21st cycle, the first cleaning is performed in the 24th cycle, the second cleaning is performed in the 25th cycle, and the third cleaning is performed in the 26th cycle. Therefore, n1 = 0, n2 = 2, n3 = 2, n4 = 21, and n5 = 24. As shown in FIG. 12b, the wiping position is at the 0th cup position, the sample adding position is at S, the sample weighing and measuring position is at S1, the reagent adding position is at R, and the cleaning position is at W, all of which are relative to the wiping position. Figure 4 Figure 5

[0121] As shown in FIG. 12a, the specific steps include the following steps: Figure 6

[0122] S410, before the 0th rotation cycle, according to x1 = (0 x 2) % 60 and x2 = x1 - 1, n1 = 0, x1 = 1, the 0th cup is a reaction cup, referred to as reaction cup 0, located at the 0th cup position; the 1st cup is a dilution cup, referred to as dilution cup 1, located at the 1st cup position. That is, the dilution needle is controlled to add dilution liquid to the 1st cup at the 1st cup position, and the wiping assembly 140 is controlled to wipe the 0th cup at the 0th cup position. That is, after resetting, the 0th cup is immediately wiped, and the dilution cup is added to the 1st cup. If the 0th cup is wiped and the dilution liquid is added to the 1st cup after the end of the third rotation of the 0th rotation cycle as shown in FIG. 13a, the 2nd cup should be stopped at the 0th cup position when resetting. The present application does not limit the cup positions and cup numbers, and only needs to infer according to the correspondence between the cup position number and the cup number when resetting.

After this step, the sample begins to react with the reagent, which is in the second cycle. Figure 3 12a was added. Reaction data was continuously read during the reaction.

[0127] S460, in the 21st rotation cycle, n4 = 21. Before the 21st cycle, the reaction result can be calculated, and a decision can be made regarding whether to retest. If retesting is required, after the first rotation phase of the 21st cycle, dilution cup 1 is positioned at S1 on the reaction disk, and the sampling needle is controlled to draw the retest sample from dilution cup 1. That is, at this point, after the first rotation of the reaction disk assembly 110 in the 21st cycle... Figure 3 After 10a (the end of the first rotation phase of 21 cycles), the control sampling needle executes... Figure 3 Step 11a involves drawing a retest sample from dilution cup 1. The retest sample is drawn from cup 0, and S1 = ((22-0)×2+22+1)%60 = 7. That is, the retest sample is drawn from cup 7 of the reaction pan. If a retest is not required, then...Figure 3 At 11a of FIG. 1, the control unit controls the sampling needle assembly 120 to suck the original sample from the sample tube.
