Description

Figure 1 As shown in the example, the sample module 100 includes a second housing 110 and a drawer 120. The drawer 120 is used to place the sample carrying component. The drawer 120 can move between an open position and a closed position relative to the second housing 110. In the closed position, the drawer 120 is located inside the second housing 110. In the open position, the drawer 120 extends from the second housing 110 to facilitate operators to take and place sample containers. In addition, the sample module also includes a transfer mechanism, which can realize the transfer of sample containers between the sample module 100 and the track. For example, the transfer mechanism can be a sample module manipulator.

[0128] The centrifugal module 200 and the first desealing module 300 are both pre-processing modules. The uncentrifuged sample can be centrifuged in the centrifugal module 200 to achieve stratification of the blood sample. Figure 1 As shown in the example, the centrifugal module 200 includes a third housing 210 and a centrifugal device 220. The centrifugal device 220 is located in the third housing 210, and the sample container is centrifuged in the centrifugal device 220. In addition, the centrifugal module 200 also includes a transfer mechanism, which can realize the transfer of the sample container between the centrifugal module 200 and the track. For example, the transfer mechanism can be a centrifugal module manipulator. It should be noted that the transfer mechanism can directly move the sample container on the track into the centrifugal device, or first move the sample container into the centrifugal rack in the third housing 210, and then move the centrifugal rack into the centrifugal device.

[0129] The first unsealing module 300 is used to remove the packaging of the sample container, wherein the packaging may be a container cover or a container film. Accordingly, the corresponding unsealing operations performed by the first unsealing module 300 are respectively a decapping operation or a defilming operation. Taking decapping as an example, the first unsealing device 320 includes an upper manipulator and a lower manipulator. The lower manipulator can clamp the tube body of the sample container, and the upper manipulator can clamp the container cover of the sample container. The tube body and the container cover can be separated by relative movement between the upper manipulator and the lower manipulator. Figure 1 As shown in the example, the first unsealing module 300 includes a fourth shell 310 and a first unsealing device 320. The first unsealing device 320 is located in the fourth shell 310. The first unsealing device 320 can perform an unsealing operation on the sample container on the track.

[0130] The analysis module 400 is used to test the sample, specifically, the analysis module aspirates the sample in the sample container on the track, and then performs the analysis operation. It should be noted that the samples analyzed by the analysis module 400 include both unanalyzed common cases from the sample module 100, common cases that need to be retested from the low-temperature storage module 500, and quality control samples from the sample module 100 or the low-temperature storage module 500.

[0131] The low-temperature storage module 500 is used to store samples at low temperatures. The samples stored therein include both analyzed case samples and quality control samples.

[0132] The transfer module is used for transferring the sample container. In some embodiments, the transfer module includes Figure 1 The track module 800 shown in the figure specifically includes a main track and a plurality of front rails connected to the main track. Taking the figure as an example, the vertical part of the track module 800 is the main track, and the horizontal part of the track module 800 is the front rail. The front rail connects the sample module 100, the centrifugal module 200, the first desealing module 300, the analysis module 400 and other modules. In other embodiments, the transfer module also includes a first scheduling module 900. The first scheduling module 900 can be a single mechanism or a combination of multiple mechanisms. The difference between the first scheduling module 900 and the track module 800 is that the track module 800 can realize the continuous transportation of the sample container through mechanisms such as a conveyor belt, while the first scheduling module 900 is used for the transfer of the sample container between different positions. Specifically, the first scheduling module 900 at least includes a manipulator.

[0133] Based on the aforementioned structure, a typical detection process based on case samples is as follows: a sample container with a cover containing the case sample to be processed is transferred from the sample module 100 to the centrifugation module 200 through the transfer module for centrifugation, and then transferred by the transfer module to the first unsealing module 300 for unsealing after centrifugation, and then transferred by the transfer module to the analysis module 400 for analysis after unsealing, and the analyzed samples are transferred by the transfer module to the low-temperature storage module 500 for low-temperature storage, and if the case sample in the low-temperature storage module 500 needs to be retested, it is transferred from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the analysis module 400 for retesting through the transfer module, and if the case sample in the low-temperature storage module 500 does not need to be retested, it will be discarded after being stored for a period of time.

[0134] In this embodiment, the sample container in the low temperature storage module 500 includes a quality control sample container for storing the quality control sample to be analyzed. The controller can control the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600, and then control the mixing module 600 to perform a mixing operation on the quality control sample container, and then control the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container that has been mixed to the analysis module 400 to perform an analysis operation. In this way, the mixing module 600 is integrated in the inspection pipeline, which can achieve automatic mixing, reduce the manual participation link, and reduce the workload of the inspection personnel. In addition, the quality control samples of this embodiment come from the low temperature storage module 500. In other words, a large number of quality control samples can be first input into the low temperature storage module 500, and then the controller controls the transfer module to automatically transfer the quality control samples to the analysis module 400, so as to use the time when the inspection department is not working to perform quality control analysis, such as the time in the morning when not at work to perform quality control analysis, thereby avoiding the quality control analysis process occupying the normal working period of the sample analysis system, and improving the efficiency of the sample analysis system.

[0135] It should be noted that the "quality control sample containers from the low-temperature storage module 500" referred to in the present invention include quality control sample containers directly removed from the low-temperature storage module 500, and also include quality control sample containers removed from the low-temperature storage module 500 and then processed by other modules.

[0136] Based on the first embodiment, refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a cache module 700, which is used for caching sample containers. For example, the controller can control the transfer module to transfer the analyzed sample container to the cache module 700 for caching. During the caching period, the controller determines whether the sample container needs to be retested based on the detection results, system operation status and other information. When the analyzed sample container on the cache module 700 is determined to be a sample container that does not need to be retested, the controller controls the transfer module to transfer the sample container that does not need to be retested from the cache module 700 to the low-temperature storage module 500. When the analyzed sample container on the cache module 700 is determined to be a sample container that needs to be retested, the controller controls the transfer module to transfer the sample container that does not need to be retested from the cache module 700 to the analysis module 400 for analysis. It should be noted that the "analyzed sample container" referred to in this embodiment is mainly a case sample container containing case samples.

[0137] Specifically, the cache module 700 includes a cache platform 710 having a cache table, and the sample container can be placed on the cache table for caching.

[0138] In this embodiment, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600” specifically means: controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the buffer module 700, and controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the buffer module 700 to the mixing module 600. In other words, in this embodiment, the buffer module 700 is used as a transfer place between the analysis module 400 and the low temperature storage module 500. Compared with the solution of directly sending the analyzed sample container to the low temperature storage module 500, if the sample container needs to be removed from the low temperature storage module 500 when retesting is required, the provision of the buffer module 700 can reduce the frequency of moving the sample container out of or into the low temperature storage module 500, which helps to improve efficiency.

[0139] When the sample analysis system further includes a cache module 700, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the transfer module includes a track module 800 and a first scheduling module 900. The track module 800 has a sample suction position 810. The track module of this embodiment can be understood by referring to the track module and the first scheduling module mentioned in the first embodiment.

[0140] In this embodiment, the mixing module 600 and the analysis module 400 are located at different positions of the track module 800, so the samples need to be transported between the mixing module 600 and the analysis module 400 through the track module 800. Therefore, the aforementioned "controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation" specifically refers to: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation from the mixing module 600 to the track module 800, and then controlling the track module 800 to transport the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the sample suction position 810, and then controlling the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation on the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation and is in the sample suction position 810.

[0141] In this embodiment, the mixing module 600 and the buffer module 700 are located at the same position of the track module 800, so there is no need to transport samples between the mixing module 600 and the buffer module 700 through the track module 800. The aforementioned "controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600" specifically means: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the buffer module 700, and controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the buffer module 700 to the mixing module 600. In other words, the buffer module 700 can also serve as a transfer place between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the mixing module 600.

[0142] It should be noted that the first scheduling module 900 of this embodiment can not only realize the transfer of quality control sample containers between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700, but can also be reused for the transfer of case sample containers between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700, thereby reducing the number of scheduling modules, helping to simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0143] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the first scheduling module is used to realize the transfer of the quality control sample container between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700. When the quality control sample container is transferred between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700, it does not need to enter the track module 800, which can reduce the occupation of the transportation flux of the track module 800. In other embodiments, the quality control sample container output from the low-temperature storage module 500 can also be first moved into the track module 800 through some scheduling modules, and after being transported through the track module 800, it is moved into the cache module 700 through other scheduling modules.

[0144] When the quality control sample container uses the buffer module 700 as a transfer storage place before being moved into the mixing module 600, refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a packaging module 1000, which is used to perform a packaging operation of adding packaging objects to the sample container that has been analyzed and has no packaging objects, so as to prevent leakage of the sample when it is stored in the low-temperature storage module 500. Referring to the above, the packaging object can be a container cover or a container film, and the packaging operation corresponds to a capping operation or a filming operation. Taking capping as an example, the packaging module 1000 includes an upper manipulator and a lower manipulator, the lower manipulator can clamp the tube body of the sample container, and the upper manipulator can clamp the container cover of the sample container. Through the relative movement between the upper manipulator and the lower manipulator, the container cover can be inserted into the tube body or screwed on the tube body.

[0145] The track module 800 also has a packaging position 820, and the controller is also configured to control the track module 800 to transport the analyzed sample container to the packaging position 820, control the packaging module 1000 to perform a packaging operation of adding packaging materials to the analyzed sample container located at the packaging position 820, control the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the sample container that has performed the packaging operation from the track module 800 to the cache module 700, and control the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the sample container that has performed the packaging operation from the cache module 700 to the low-temperature storage module 500.

[0146] In this embodiment, in addition to realizing the transfer of quality control sample containers between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700, and the transfer of case sample containers between the low-temperature storage module 500 and the cache module 700, the first scheduling module 900 can also be reused for the transfer of analyzed and unpackaged case sample containers from the track module 800 to the cache module 700, and the transfer of analyzed and packaged case sample containers from the cache module 700 to the low-temperature storage module 500, thereby further realizing the functional integration of the first scheduling module 900.

[0147] When the quality control sample container uses the cache module 700 as a transfer storage place before being moved into the mixing module 600, in some embodiments, the aforementioned "controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the cache module 700 to the mixing module 600" specifically means: when the quality control sample container is cached in the cache module 700 until the temperature of the quality control sample container reaches a preset temperature, then control the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the cache module 700 to the mixing module 600.

[0148] When the quality control sample container is removed from the low temperature storage module 500, the temperature is low. In order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement result, the quality control sample container needs to be reheated. This embodiment uses the buffer module 700 as a reheating place, and there is no need to set up a separate reheating module, which helps to simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0149] Different from the aforementioned natural rewarming solution, in other embodiments, rewarming can also be performed by heating with a heat source. Specifically, the cache module 700 also includes a warming module, which is connected to the cache platform 710. The warming module includes an electric heater. The heat generated by the electric heater is transferred to the quality control sample container with air or water as the medium for heating. The warming module also includes a temperature sensor, which can detect the temperature of the quality control sample container.

[0150] In this embodiment, the aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the buffer module 700” specifically refers to: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the incubation module. The aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the buffer module 700 to the mixing module 600” specifically refers to: when the quality control sample container is incubated in the incubation module until the temperature of the quality control sample container reaches the preset temperature, then controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the incubation module to the mixing module 600.

[0151] This embodiment is provided with a heating module to reheat the quality control sample container, which can improve the reheating speed of the quality control sample container. In addition, the heating module is integrated in the buffer module 700, which can reduce the space occupied by the heating module.

[0152] In other embodiments, the quality control sample container may be cached in the cache module 700 or in the incubation module for a preset time and then transferred from the cache module 700 or the incubation module to the mixing module 600 .

[0153] When the quality control sample container uses the buffer module 700 as a transfer storage place before being moved into the mixing module 600, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cache module 700 and the low-temperature storage module 500 are used to store the first sample carrying component 1100, and the first sample carrying component 1100 is used to store multiple quality control sample containers. The first sample carrying component 1100 can be a tray, and the tray has multiple placement holes distributed in an array, and each placement hole can hold a quality control sample container.

[0154] It should be noted that when it is necessary to transfer the analyzed case sample container from the cache module 700 to the low-temperature storage module 500, or to transfer the case sample container to be retested from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700, the first sample carrying component 1100 can also be used to place the case sample container.

[0155] In this embodiment, the aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700” specifically refers to: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the first sample carrying component 1100 storing the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700. In this way, the quality control sample container is cached in the cache module 700 with the first sample carrying component 1100 as a carrier, and is stored in the low temperature storage module 500, and is transferred between the cache module 700 and the low temperature storage module 500 with the first sample carrying component 1100 as a carrier, so that batch transfer of quality control sample containers can be realized.

[0156] When the quality control sample container is transferred between the buffer module 700 and the low temperature storage module 500 using the first sample carrying member 1100 as a carrier, Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first scheduling module 900 includes a first manipulator 910 and a slide 920. The first manipulator 910 can clamp the first sample carrier 1100 and can drive the first sample carrier 1100 to move in the left-right, front-back and vertical directions through a corresponding driving module. The first sample carrier 1100 includes a main body and a clamping rod extending from the top of the main body. The main body has a placement hole for placing a sample container. The first manipulator 910 can clamp the clamping rod to drive the first sample carrier 1100 to move.

[0157] The slide 920 is located between the buffer module 700 and the low-temperature storage module 500, and can be moved to a first position docking with the buffer module 700 and a second position docking with the low-temperature storage module 500. Figure 2 In the first place, Figure 3 The slide 920 is in the second position. The slide 920 can be driven by a linear module. It should be noted that the so-called slide 920 docking with the cache module 700 or the low-temperature storage module 500 means that it is convenient to transfer the first sample carrier 1100 between the slide 920 and the cache module 700 or between the slide 920 and the low-temperature storage module 500, and it does not limit the slide 920 to contact the cache module 700 or the low-temperature storage module 500. Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the figure, the slide 920 docking with the cache module 700 is reflected in that the slide 920 is closer to the cache module 700, and the slide 920 docking with the low-temperature storage module 500 is reflected in that the slide 920 is closer to the low-temperature storage module 500.

[0158] In this embodiment, the aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the first sample carrier 1100 storing the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700” specifically refers to: controlling the first manipulator 910 to transfer the first sample carrier 1100 storing the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 to the slide 920 located at the second position (such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 Then, the slide 920 is controlled to move to the first position (as shown in Figure 2 As shown), the first robot 910 is controlled to transfer the first sample carrying component 1100 storing the quality control sample container from the slide 920 located at the first position to the cache module 700.

[0159] In this embodiment, the aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the cache module 700 to the mixing module 600” specifically refers to: controlling the first manipulator 910 to transfer a single quality control sample container from the first sample carrying component 1100 of the cache module 700 to the mixing module 600.

[0160] When the quality control sample container is transferred between the buffer module 700 and the low temperature storage module 500 using the first sample carrying member 1100 as a carrier, Figure 2 In some embodiments, the track module 800 is used to transport the second sample carrying component 1200, and the second sample carrying component 1200 is used to store a single quality control sample container. The second sample carrying component 1200 can be a single tube holder.

[0161] The aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation from the mixing module 600 to the track module 800” specifically refers to: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer a single quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the second sample carrying component 1200 of the track module 800.

[0162] The first scheduling module 900 of the present embodiment may include the aforementioned first manipulator 910, so the aforementioned “controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer a single quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the second sample carrying component 1200 of the track module 800” specifically refers to: controlling the first manipulator 910 to transfer a single quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the second sample carrying component 1200 of the track module 800. In this way, in addition to being able to transfer the first sample carrying component 1100, the first manipulator 910 of the present embodiment can also be used to transfer the quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the second sample carrying component 1200 on the track module 800. In addition, in some other embodiments, the first manipulator 910 can also be used to transfer the case sample container between the second sample carrying component 1200 on the track module 800 and the first sample carrying component 1100 of the cache module 700. The first manipulator 910 can integrate multiple transfer functions to reduce the number of transfer mechanisms.

[0163] When the sample analysis system further includes a cache module 700, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transfer module in some embodiments includes a track module 800, a first scheduling module 900 and a sample scheduling module. The track module 800 has a sample suction position 810. The track module of this embodiment can be understood with reference to the track module and the first scheduling module mentioned in the first embodiment. The sample scheduling module is a scheduling module other than the first scheduling module 900. The sample scheduling module includes at least one manipulator.

[0164] In this embodiment, as distinguished from the previous embodiment, the mixing module 600 and the cache module 700 are located at different positions of the track module 800. Therefore, samples need to be transported between the mixing module 600 and the cache module 700 through the track module 800. Thus, this embodiment adds a sample scheduling module for transferring quality control sample containers between the track module 800 and the mixing module 600. Based on the previous structure, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600” specifically refers to: controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700, controlling the first scheduling module 900 to transfer the quality control sample container from the cache module 700 to the track module 800, controlling the track module 800 to transport the quality control sample container, and controlling the sample scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600.

[0165] In this embodiment, the mixing module 600 and the analysis module 400 are located at different positions of the track module 800, so the samples need to be transported between the mixing module 600 and the analysis module 400 through the track module 800. The aforementioned "controlling the transfer module to transfer the sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation" specifically refers to: controlling the sample scheduling module to transfer the sample container that has performed the mixing operation from the mixing module 600 to the track module 800, controlling the track module 800 to transport the sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the sample suction position 810, and controlling the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation on the sample container that has performed the mixing operation and is in the sample suction position 810.

[0166] According to the position of the mixing module 600, the sample scheduling module may have different situations, which are described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

More specifically, the sample platform is divided into a storage area and a mixing area, the drawer 120 is connected to the storage area, and the mixing module 600 is connected to the mixing area.

[0168] Based on the above structure, the aforementioned “controlling the sample scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600” specifically refers to: controlling the second scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600 in the second shell 110, or controlling the second scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600 on the sample platform.

[0169] It should be noted that the second scheduling module can be a transfer mechanism within the sample module, such as the aforementioned sample module manipulator, or can be a separately arranged transfer mechanism.

When describing that the mixing module 600 is integrated in the centrifugal module 200, in addition to taking the third housing 210 as a reference, it can also be described in terms of the platform of the module. Specifically, the centrifugal module 200 also includes a centrifugal platform, and the mixing module 600 and the centrifugal device 220 are both connected to the centrifugal platform. More specifically, the centrifugal platform is divided into a centrifugal area and a mixing area, the centrifugal device 220 is connected to the centrifugal area, and the mixing module 600 is connected to the mixing area.

[0171] Based on the above structure, the aforementioned “controlling the sample scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600” specifically refers to: controlling the third scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600 in the third shell 210, or controlling the third scheduling module to transfer the quality control sample container from the track module 800 to the mixing module 600 on the centrifugal platform.

[0172] It should be noted that the third scheduling module may be a transfer mechanism of the centrifugal module 200, such as the aforementioned centrifugal module manipulator, or may be a separately provided transfer mechanism.

[0173] In other embodiments, the mixing module 600 is integrated in the first unsealing module 300, the sample scheduling module includes a fourth scheduling module, the track module 800 is connected to the first unsealing module 300, the first unsealing module 300 includes a fourth shell 310 and a first unsealing device 320, and the mixing module 600 and the first unsealing device 320 are both located in the fourth shell 310.

Specifically, the first unsealing module 300 also includes a first unsealing platform, and the mixing module 600 and the first unsealing device 320 are both connected to the first unsealing platform. More specifically, the first unsealing platform is divided into a first unsealing area and a mixing area, the first unsealing device is connected to the first unsealing area, and the mixing module 600 is connected to the mixing area.

[0179] When samples need to be transported between the mixing module 600 and the cache module 700 through the track module 800, in some embodiments, the cache module 700 and the low-temperature storage module 500 are used to store the first sample carrying component 1100, and the track module 800 is used to transport the second sample carrying component 1200. The first sample carrying component 1100 is used to store multiple quality control sample containers, and the second sample carrying component 1200 is used to store a single quality control sample container.

It should be noted that the cache module 700 and the mixing module 600 can be set as two independent modules, or one of them can be connected to the other.

[0185] It should also be noted that the first housing 1300 can be a single housing or a combination of multiple sub-housings, and the cache module 700 and the mixing module 600 are respectively located in two of the multiple sub-housings of the first housing 1300. When the first housing 1300 is a combination of multiple sub-housings, there is a channel between adjacent sub-housings to allow the first scheduling module 900 to move between the housings.

[0186] On the basis that the buffer module 700 and the mixing module 600 are located in the first housing 1300, Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cache module 700 has a cache platform 710, and the sample container can be placed on the cache platform 710 for caching. For example, the sample container is placed in the first sample carrier 1100, and then the first sample carrier 1100 is placed on the cache platform 710 for caching. The mixing module 600 is connected to the cache platform 710 of the cache module 700, specifically, the cache table on the top of the cache platform 710.

[0187] In this embodiment, the mixing module 600 is connected to the buffer platform 710, and the existing space of the buffer module 700 can be used to install the mixing module 600. The mixing module 600 does not need to occupy additional space, which helps to reduce the volume of the sample analysis system.

[0188] It should be noted that when the mixing module 600 is connected to the cache platform 710, it can also facilitate the aforementioned first manipulator 910 to transfer the quality control sample container from the first sample carrying component 1100 to the mixing module 600, and to transfer the quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the track module 800, thereby realizing the reuse of the first manipulator 910.

[0189] On the basis that the buffer module 700 and the mixing module 600 are located in the first housing 1300, Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a sample recovery module 1400 for recovering discarded samples. If the case sample container is stored in the low temperature storage module 500 for a preset time (e.g., 7 days), and the controller determines that the sample in the sample container does not need to be retested, the transfer module will transfer the case sample container that does not need to be retested and has been stored for a preset time to the sample recovery module 1400 for recovery. The transfer module of this embodiment may include the understanding of the aforementioned embodiment, for example, including the first scheduling module 900 and the track module 800.

As mentioned above, the analyzed case sample container needs to be packaged by the packaging module 1000 before entering the low-temperature storage module 500. Therefore, when the case sample needs to be retested, the packaging material needs to be removed first. Specifically, the sample container (such as the case sample container) that needs to be retested from the low-temperature storage module 500 is transferred to the cache module 700 through the transfer module, and then the sample container that needs to be retested is transferred from the cache module 700 to the packaging module 1000 through the transfer module for unsealing. When the transfer module includes the aforementioned first scheduling module 900 and track module 800, the track module 800 has a second unsealing position 830 (correspondingly, the track module 800 has a first unsealing position corresponding to the first unsealing module 300), the first scheduling module 900 transfers the sample container that needs to be retested from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the cache module 700, and then the first scheduling module 900 transfers the sample container that needs to be retested from the cache module 700 to the track module 800, the track module 800 transports the sample container that needs to be retested to the second unsealing position 830, and the second unsealing module 1500 unseals the sample container located at the second unsealing position 830.

[0232] In some embodiments, the quality control sample container is moved in by a transfer robot. Specifically, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600” specifically means: controlling the transfer robot to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the containing cavity 611.

[0233] In other embodiments, the removal of the quality control sample container is achieved by a transfer robot. Specifically, the aforementioned "controlling the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation" specifically refers to: controlling the transfer robot to move the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation out of the containing chamber 611, and, after the quality control sample container is moved out of the containing chamber 611, controlling the transfer robot or other components in the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation to the analysis module 400 to perform the analysis operation.

[0234] The transfer robot can perform a clamping action to fix the quality control sample container, and perform a releasing action to release the quality control sample container. In addition, the transfer robot can also move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction to realize the transfer of the quality control sample container between different positions. It should be noted that, according to the setting position of the mixing module 600, the transfer robot can be a separate robot or the robot in the aforementioned embodiment. For example, when the mixing module 600 is set in the cache module 700, the transfer robot can be the first robot 910.

[0235] When the quality control sample container is moved in or out of the mixing seat 610 by a robot, in some embodiments, the aforementioned "controlling the transfer robot to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing seat 610" specifically means: controlling the transfer robot to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing seat 610 in an upright posture along the vertical direction. In this way, the transfer robot only needs to move in the vertical direction when performing the moving-in action, which can simplify the control of the transfer robot.

[0236] In other embodiments, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer robot to move the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation out of the containing chamber 611” specifically means: controlling the transfer robot to move the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation out of the containing chamber 611 in an upright posture along the vertical direction. In this way, the transfer robot only needs to move in the vertical direction when performing the moving-out action, which can simplify the control of the transfer robot.

[0237] When the sample container is moved into or out of the mixing seat 610 in an upright position along a vertical direction, in some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 The mixing seat 610 also includes a positioning portion 612 disposed in the accommodating cavity 611. The positioning portion 612 is used to abut against the side of the quality control sample container in the accommodating cavity 611 to radially position the quality control sample container. Exemplarily, the positioning portion 612 can be the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 611. In other embodiments, the positioning portion 612 can also be a positioning block or a positioning strip disposed on the inner wall surface.

[0238] In this embodiment, the mixing seat 610 is configured as follows: when the mixing seat 610 rotates to the set position, the positioning portion 612 extends in the vertical direction, that is, when the mixing seat 610 rotates to other positions, there is an angle between the positioning portion 612 and the vertical direction. For example, when the mixing seat 610 rotates to the set position, the opening of the accommodating cavity 611 is located at the uppermost end and is in a horizontal state, and the accommodating cavity 611 as a whole also extends in the vertical direction. In this way, as the mixing seat 610 rotates, the quality control sample container has a vertical displacement, and combined with the centrifugal force generated during the rotation, the quality control sample can be mixed.

[0239] Based on the above structure, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer robot to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing seat 610 in an upright posture” specifically means: when the mixing seat 610 is rotated to the set position, the controlling the transfer robot to transfer the quality control sample container from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing seat 610 in an upright posture.

[0240] In some other embodiments, the aforementioned “controlling the transfer robot to move the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation out of the containing chamber 611 in an upright posture” specifically means: when the mixing seat 610 rotates to the set position, the control transfer robot is controlled to move the quality control sample container that has performed the mixing operation out of the containing chamber 611 in an upright posture.

[0241] In some specific embodiments, referring to Figure 6, there is a first angle between the rotation axis L1 of the mixing seat 610 and the horizontal plane, and there is a second angle between the rotation axis L1 and the axis L2 of the quality control sample container located in the accommodating cavity 611 and abutting against the positioning portion 612. The first angle is greater than 0 and less than 90°, and the second angle is greater than 0 and less than 90°, that is, the rotation axis L1 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the axis L2 is not parallel to the rotation axis L1. By setting the values ​​of the first angle and the second angle, the purpose of extending the positioning portion 612 in the vertical direction when the mixing seat 610 rotates to the set position can be achieved.

[0242] In some specific embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 7 The mixing module 600 further includes an elastic member 630, which acts on the quality control sample container to keep the quality control sample container in close contact, and can keep the quality control sample container in the receiving cavity 611 through friction. Exemplarily, the elastic member 630 is configured as a spring structure, one end of which extends into the receiving cavity 611 to fit with the quality control sample container.

[0243] In some specific embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 7 The mixing module 600 also includes a mounting base 640, and the mounting base 640 includes a first mounting plate 641 and a second mounting plate 642. The first mounting plate 641 is horizontally arranged for connecting with other components, and the second mounting plate 642 has a mounting surface inclined relative to the first mounting plate 641. For example, the second mounting plate 642 is inclined relative to the first mounting plate 641 as a whole, and the driving device 620 is connected to the inclined mounting surface, so that there is a first angle between the rotation axis L1 and the horizontal plane.

[0244] The second embodiment of the present invention proposes a sample analysis system, which includes a sample module 100, a centrifugal module 200, a first desealing module 300, an analysis module 400, a low-temperature storage module 500, a mixing module 600, a transfer module, a cache module 700, a first shell 1300 and a controller, wherein the sample module 100, the centrifugal module 200, the first desealing module 300, the analysis module 400, the low-temperature storage module 500, the mixing module 600, the transfer module, the cache module 700, the first shell 1300 and the controller can all be understood with reference to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0245] In this embodiment, the buffer module 700 is used to receive the analyzed sample container transferred by the transfer module, and when the analyzed sample container on the buffer platform 710 is a sample container that does not need to be retested, the transfer module is used to transfer the sample container that does not need to be retested from the buffer module 700 to the low-temperature storage module 500; when the analyzed sample container on the buffer module 700 is a sample container that needs to be retested, the controller controls the transfer module to transfer the sample container that does not need to be retested from the buffer module 700 to the analysis module 400 for analysis. It should be noted that the "analyzed sample container" referred to in this embodiment is mainly a case sample container containing a case sample.

[0246] The sample containers in the low-temperature storage module 500 include quality control sample containers storing quality control samples to be analyzed. The controller is configured to control the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample containers from the low-temperature storage module 500 to the mixing module 600, control the mixing module 600 to perform a mixing operation on the quality control sample containers, and control the transfer module to transfer the quality control sample containers that have been subjected to the mixing operation to the analysis module 400 to perform an analysis operation;

[0247] In this embodiment, the buffer module 700 and the mixing module 600 are located in the first housing 1300. It should be noted that the quality control sample container from the low temperature storage module 500 can be transferred to the buffer module 700 first and then to the mixing module 600, or can be transferred to the mixing module 600 without passing through the buffer module 700.

[0248] Based on the second embodiment, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cache module 700 has a cache platform 710, and the sample container can be placed on the cache platform 710 for caching. For example, the sample container is placed in the first sample carrier 1100, and then the first sample carrier 1100 is placed on the cache platform 710 for caching. The mixing module 600 is connected to the cache platform 710 of the cache module 700, specifically, the cache table on the top of the cache platform 710. The position of the mixing module 600 on the cache platform 710 is not limited, and can be flexibly set at a position with sufficient space to Figure 2 Taking the example shown in , the cache platform 710 has free space on the side close to the low-temperature storage module 500, and the mixing module 600 can be set on the side of the cache platform 710 close to the low-temperature storage module 500; if the convenience of transferring the mixed quality control sample container to the track module 800 is considered, the mixing module 600 can also be set on the side of the cache platform 710 close to the track module 800.

[0249] In this embodiment, the mixing module 600 is connected to the buffer platform 710, and the existing space of the buffer module 700 can be used to install the mixing module 600. The mixing module 600 does not need to occupy additional space, which helps to reduce the volume of the sample analysis system.

[0250] It should be noted that when the mixing module 600 is connected to the cache platform 710, it can also facilitate the aforementioned first manipulator 910 to transfer the quality control sample container from the first sample carrying component 1100 to the mixing module 600, and to transfer the quality control sample container from the mixing module 600 to the track module 800, thereby realizing the reuse of the first manipulator 910.

[0251] Based on the second embodiment, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a sample recovery module 1400 for recovering discarded samples. If the case sample container is stored in the low temperature storage module 500 for a preset time (e.g., 7 days), and the controller determines that the sample in the sample container does not need to be retested, the transfer module will transfer the case sample container that does not need to be retested and has been stored for a preset time to the sample recovery module 1400 for recovery. The transfer module of this embodiment may include the understanding of the aforementioned embodiment, for example, including the first scheduling module 900 and the track module 800. The first scheduling module 900 includes a first manipulator 910 and a slide 920. The first manipulator 910 transfers the first sample carrying component 1100 storing the case sample container from the slide 920 to the cache module 700, and then the first manipulator 910 transfers the case sample container from the first sample carrying component 1100 to the sample recovery module 1400.

[0252] The sample recovery module 1400 is connected to the buffer platform 710, which does not need to occupy additional space on the one hand, and is also convenient for the aforementioned first manipulator 910 to transfer the case sample container from the first sample carrying component 1100 to the sample recovery module 1400. In some embodiments, the sample recovery module 1400 includes a sample receiving mechanism for receiving the sample container and a sample storage mechanism for storing the sample container. The sample receiving mechanism can be arranged on the buffer table or above the buffer table, and the sample storage mechanism can be located inside the buffer platform 710.

[0253] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
