Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular, relates to a sample scheduling method, a sample scheduling device and a bio-immunoassay system. Background Art

[0002] The sample scheduling scheme and sample scheduling device design of the bio-immunoassay online instrument are key factors affecting the online efficiency. The sample scheduling device is usually set in front of or behind the instrument. The sample scheduling device distributes the sample to the biochemical analyzer or immunoassay analyzer. After the biochemical analyzer or immunoassay analyzer completes the sample addition, the sample scheduling device completes the sample recovery.

[0003] For traditional sample scheduling methods and sample scheduling devices, biochemical analyzers or immunoassay analyzers usually complete sample loading on the track of the sample scheduling device. Such solutions have the problem of sample transmission path overlap, and samples are easily blocked on the track, which affects the test speed of the single machine and reduces the efficiency of the bio-immune online test. There are also biochemical analyzers or immunoassay analyzers that set up a cache device inside the single machine. The bio-immune online sample scheduling device distributes the sample to the single machine cache device through the track. After the biochemical analyzer or immunoassay analyzer completes the sample loading on the cache device, the sample is recovered by the sample scheduling device. Such solutions require the installation of a cache device inside the single machine, which increases the size of the single machine, the cost and complexity of the single machine structure, and there is also the defect that the sample transmission path overlaps and causes the sample to be blocked on the track. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the invention

[0038] The sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 is arranged inside the first analyzer 3 , and the sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 is arranged on the back of the second analyzer 4 .

[0039] Or the sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 is arranged inside the second analyzer 4, and the sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 is arranged on the back of the first analyzer 3; it should be noted that the sample loading area located inside is the sample loading position of the analyzer itself, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here;

[0040] Independent sample transmission paths and sample recovery paths are respectively provided between the sample storage area 1 and the sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 and between the sample storage area 1 and the sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4. The sample delivery path of the first analyzer 3 does not overlap with the sample delivery path of the second analyzer 4, and the sample recovery path of the first analyzer 3 does not overlap with the sample recovery path of the second analyzer 4, so as to avoid sample blockage on the corresponding path during delivery and / or recovery.

[0041] A sample scheduling device according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the sample scheduling device transfers the sample in the sample storage area 1 to the sample delivery path of the first analyzer 3 or the sample delivery path of the second analyzer 4;

[0042] The sample scheduling device transfers the samples on the sample recovery path of the first analyzer 3 or the samples on the sample recovery path of the second analyzer 4 to the sample storage area 1 .

[0043] Specifically, the sample scheduling device includes a sample scheduling unit 5, a sample transmission track 6 and a sample loading track 7.

[0044] The sample scheduling unit 5 is arranged on the sample storage area 1; the sample scheduling unit 5 comprises a storage area 51 for storing samples and a sample transporter 52 for transporting samples;

[0045] The sample feeder 52 carries the sample in the storage area 51 and delivers it to the internal sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3. The sample feeder 52 receives the sample loaded in the internal sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 and delivers it back to the storage area 51;

[0046] Or the sample feeder 52 carries the sample in the storage area 51 and delivers it to the back sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 , and the sample feeder 52 receives the sample loaded in the back sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 and delivers it back to the storage area 51 ;

[0047] The storage area 51 is an area for storing samples. Multiple samples can be stored, and special sample locations or emergency sample locations can also be set. As an example, the structure of the sample scheduling unit 5 is prior art, such as the sample storage scheduling mechanism disclosed in Patent Publication No. CN116500289A, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] The sample loading track 7 is located on the back loading area; the sample transmission track 6 serves as a transmission extension track. When the position between the sample storage area 1 and the loading area of ​​the sample loading track 7 is longer, a sample transmission track 6 is added between the sample storage area 1 and the sample loading track 7 and arranged parallel to the sample loading track 7.

[0049] It should be noted that the internal sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 or the internal sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 may also be composed of an independent sample transmission track 6 and a sample loading track 7 .

[0050] The sample transfer track 6 includes a forward transfer track 61 and a return transfer track 62, and a return push rod unit 63 is provided at the end of the return transfer track 62; the forward transfer track 61 transfers the sample in the storage area 51 to the back sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4;

The forward loading track 71 is provided with a buffer interception unit 74 and a blocking anti-rebound mechanism 75.

[0055] The return sample loading track 72 transports the sample back to the return transport track 62;

[0056] The track changing unit 73 changes the sample rack from the forward loading track 71 to the return loading track 72; it should be noted that the sample loading track 7 is a prior art, such as the track mechanism for sample rack transmission disclosed in patent publication number CN116449040A, which will not be described here; the sample transmission track 6 is the same as the sample loading track 7, the difference being that the sample transmission track 6 does not have the track changing unit 73, the cache interception unit and the locking anti-rebound mechanism structure; the end of the return loading track 72 of the sample loading track 7 is provided with a return push rod unit 63.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application includes a bio-immune system including a sample scheduling device, such as Figure 1 As shown, taking the example that the sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 is set at the internal sample loading position of the first analyzer 3 and the sample loading area of ​​the second analyzer 4 is set at the back sample loading position of the second analyzer 4, the sample scheduling of the bio-immunoassay system is briefly described; the first analyzer 3 is a biochemical analyzer, and the second analyzer 4 is an immunoassay analyzer.

[0060] For samples that need to be tested on both the second analyzer 4 and the first analyzer 3, the samples are first transported to the sample loading position on the back of the second analyzer 4. After the loading is completed, the samples are sent back to the sample storage area 1 by the sample feeder 52. When the sample loading area of ​​the first analyzer 3 is idle, the sample is transported by the sample feeder 52 to the internal sample loading position of the first analyzer 3 for loading.

[0061] The sample loading position of the second analyzer 4 or the first analyzer 3 is set inside the instrument, and the sample loading and sample recovery are completed by the interaction between the sample feeder in the sample compartment and the sample loading track inside the instrument; the sample loading position of another instrument is set on the forward track on the back of the single-machine instrument, and the sample is transported to the forward track of the sample loading track through the sample feeder and the forward track of the sample transmission track. After the loading is completed, the sample is recovered through the interaction between the return track and the sample feeder; the advantage of this sample scheduling method is that there is no physical interference between the sample loading position of the biochemical analyzer and the sample loading position of the immunoassay analyzer, and the sample can reach the corresponding instrument loading position at the fastest speed.
