[0035] In the related art, a user can filter out target samples that meet the selected status by clicking on the status icon in the monitoring interface. However, the monitoring interface monitors all sample carriers, and the number of samples contained therein generally ranges from 150 to 300. Therefore, when one wants to filter out target samples that meet the selected status in the monitoring interface by clicking on the status icon, it is easy to miss the target samples when there are a large number of them.

[0036] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a sample monitoring system. By equipping the sample manager of the sample monitoring system with a signal device, after the target sample is screened out, the target position of the target sample is reported acoustically or optically through the signal device. This can not only solve the problem of easily missing the target sample, but also assist the user to quickly locate the target sample, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

[0037] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a sample monitoring system shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a sample monitoring system 10, which may include a sample manager 101, a receiving device 102 and a controller 103, which may communicate with each other.

[0040] Multiple samples can be stored in the sample manager 101. Specifically, the sample manager 101 may include a storage area 1011, and the storage area 1011 may be used to store multiple samples. The samples may be stored in the storage area 1011 in the form of a sample carrier, for example, multiple samples may be placed in a sample carrier, and then the sample carrier may be placed in the storage area 1011. In addition, the samples may also be stored in the storage area 1011 in the form of a single sample tube, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] The receiving device 102 may be used to receive various instructions, and the controller 103 may be used to execute various instructions, wherein the various instructions may include sample monitoring instructions, cancellation instructions, and the like.

[0042] In actual applications, after receiving the sample monitoring instruction, the receiving device 102 may send the sample monitoring instruction to the controller 103, and the controller 103 executes the sample monitoring instruction.

[0043] The sample monitoring instruction may include a target sample state to be monitored, and the controller 103 may determine a target sample that matches the target sample state, and then may determine a target position of the target sample in the sample manager 101 .

[0044] The sample manager 101 may be equipped with a signal device 1012, which has an alarm function. Therefore, after determining the target position of the target sample, the controller 103 may control the signal device 1012 to output an alarm signal for the target position. For example, the controller 103 may control the signal device 1012 to report the target position of the target sample in an acoustic manner, or may control the signal device 1012 to report the target position of the target sample in an optical manner, thereby not only solving the problem of easily missing the target sample, but also assisting the user to quickly locate the target sample, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sample manager 101 may include a plurality of storage areas 1011 , wherein each storage area 1011 may correspond to at least one signal device 1012 , and the signal device 1012 may be used to report the target sample in the corresponding storage area 1011 .

[0046] The signal device and the storage area may be in a one-to-one correspondence, or one storage area may correspond to multiple signal devices. For example, one storage area may correspond to at least one optical signal device and may also correspond to an acoustic signal device.

[0047] In one embodiment, the receiving device 102 has a monitoring interface 1021 , which can be used to monitor samples in different states in each storage area 1011 .

[0048] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the monitoring interface. There are multiple status icons on the left side of the monitoring interface 1021. The status icons can be used to indicate the status represented by the icon corresponding to each sample in the monitoring interface 1021. The status of the sample includes but is not limited to: barcode error status, sample abnormal status, no item status, no result status, running status, completed status, vacant status, etc.

[0049] If the user wants to filter out target samples in a certain state, the user can click the target state icon corresponding to the state on the monitoring interface 1021 to trigger the sample monitoring instruction for the target sample. After receiving the sample monitoring instruction, the receiving device 102 can send the sample monitoring instruction to the controller 103. Among them, the sample monitoring instruction carries information about the state of the target sample to be monitored. The controller 103 can determine the target sample that matches the target sample state from the samples in different states, and then determine the target position of the target sample in the sample manager 101, so as to determine the corresponding signal device 1012 based on the target position, and then control the corresponding signal device 1012 to report the target sample in its corresponding storage area 1011.

[0050] In one example, if Figure 2 As shown, in the basket 1, storage areas 1 to 5 and 8 to 15 respectively store multiple samples, and the samples in each storage area have corresponding statuses, such as completed status, empty status, no result status, barcode error status, and running status. Assuming that the user wants to filter out the target samples in the running state, the user can click the running status icon on the monitoring interface to trigger the sample monitoring instruction for the target sample. The receiving device 102 can send the sample monitoring instruction to the controller 103, and the controller 103 determines the target sample in the running state from the samples in different states in the storage areas 1 to 5 and 8 to 15, and then determines the target position of the target sample in the sample manager. Figure 2It can be seen that the target samples in the running state are samples N306-4 and N306-5, and the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are respectively stored in positions 4 and 5 of the storage area 11 of the basket 1. Therefore, the controller 103 can determine the corresponding signal device 1012 based on the target position, and then control the corresponding signal device 1012 to report the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 in the storage area 11 of the basket 1.

[0051] In one embodiment, the monitoring interface 1021 of the receiving device 102 may include a recycling buffer area and a recycling basket area, wherein the samples in the recycling buffer area are in a non-removable state, and the samples in the recycling basket area are in a removable state.

[0052] Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the sample manager structure. Figure 3 As shown, the sample manager 101 may include channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 and channel 4. Channel 1 includes a recycling buffer area 1 and a recycling basket area 1; channel 2 includes a recycling buffer area 2 and a recycling basket area 2; channel 3 includes a sample injection buffer area 1 and a sample injection basket area 1, and channel 4 includes a sample injection buffer area 2 and a sample injection basket area 2.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the area definition. For the area definitions of channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, and channel 4, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, from the vertical perspective, it can be divided into a recovery area and a sample injection area; from the horizontal perspective, it can be divided into a buffer area and a basket lifting area. Therefore, the recovery area and the buffer area can be combined into a recovery buffer area; the recovery area and the basket lifting area can be combined into a recovery basket lifting area; the sample injection area and the buffer area can be combined into a sample injection buffer area; the sample injection area and the basket lifting area can be combined into a sample injection basket lifting area. Furthermore, the upper half of channel 1 and channel 2 can be defined as a recovery buffer area; the lower half of channel 1 and channel 2 can be defined as a recovery basket lifting area; the upper half of channel 3 and channel 4 can be defined as a sample injection buffer area; and the lower half of channel 3 and channel 4 can be defined as a sample injection basket lifting area.

[0054] The sample monitoring system 10 can only monitor the samples in the recovery buffer area and the recovery basket area, so the corresponding Figure 2 In the monitoring interface 1021, the buffer 1 and the buffer 2 may be recycling buffer areas, and the basket 1 and the basket 2 may be recycling basket areas. The samples in the recycling buffer area are in a non-removable state, and the samples in the recycling basket area are in a removable state. In other words, the user can take out samples from the recycling basket area, but cannot take out samples from the recycling buffer area.

[0055] The alarm signal output by the signal device 1012 can assist the user to quickly locate the target sample, so that the user can quickly take out the target sample directly according to the location. The target sample is generally a sample in an abnormal state, such as a sample in a barcode error state, a sample in a sample abnormal state, a sample in a no-item state, and a sample in a no-result state. Such samples need to be re-tested.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the sample manager 101 may include a detection unit for conducting experiments, a channel for scanning or transporting samples, a detection unit buffer area for caching samples, and a detection unit track change mechanism and a detection unit gripper. The channel for scanning or transporting samples may include a sample scanning channel, a detection unit sample delivery channel, a detection unit sample addition channel, and a detection unit return channel.

[0057] If the target sample is in the recovery basket area, the user can take out the target sample in the recovery basket area. After the target sample is processed accordingly, the processed target sample can be transported to the detection unit for re-experimentation.

[0058] As an example, for a target sample in a no-project state, the project of the target sample may be edited first, and then the processed target sample may be transported to a detection unit for re-experimentation.

[0059] As another example, for a target sample in a barcode error state, the barcode of the target sample may be specified first, and then the processed target sample may be transported to a detection unit for re-experimentation.

[0060] In the whole experimental process, the state of the target sample will change in real time. For example, if the barcode of sample N008-6 is scanned and an error occurs before entering the detection unit, the sample monitoring system 10 can update the state of sample N008-6 to a barcode error state; if the user clicks the "barcode error" state icon on the monitoring interface 1021, the user can quickly locate the target sample N008-6 based on the alarm signal output by the signal device 1012; if the target sample N008-6 is in the recovery basket area, the user can take out the target sample N008-6 from the recovery basket area, and transport the target sample N008-6 to the detection unit, and the detection unit will re-experiment the target sample N008-6. While the detection unit is doing the experiment, the sample monitoring system 10 can update the state of the target sample N008-6 to a running state; after the experiment is completed and the results are obtained, the sample monitoring system 10 can update the state of the target sample N008-6 to a completed state. Therefore, from scanning the sample barcode to the completion of the experiment, the status of the target sample N008-6 will change in real time during the process.

[0061] In one embodiment, the signaling device 1012 may include an indicator light, and each storage area 1011 may be equipped with at least one indicator light, which may be used to illuminate the corresponding storage area 1011. Furthermore, the storage area may be further divided into various sub-storage areas. Each indicator light corresponds to a corresponding sub-storage area. The controller 103 may determine the target storage area 1011 where the target sample is located according to the target position and turn on the target indicator light of the target storage area 1011 to illuminate the target sample.

[0062] The signal device 1012 may be an indicator light. In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of indicator lights may be provided on the side of channel 1 and channel 2 of the sample manager 101. Specifically, channel 1 and channel 2 of the sample manager 101 include a plurality of storage areas 1011, respectively, and an indicator light may be provided on the side of each storage area 1011, for example Figure 2 The basket 1 is a recovery basket area of ​​the channel 1, wherein the basket 1 includes storage areas 1 to 15, and an indicator light can be provided on the side of each storage area 1 to 15, so the basket 1 can be provided with 15 indicator lights.

[0063] In actual applications, the controller 103 may determine the target storage area 1011 where the target sample is located according to the target position of the target sample in the sample manager 101, and then may turn on the target indicator light of the target storage area 1011 so that the target indicator light illuminates the target sample. Figure 2 In the example, the controller 103 determines the target storage area 1011 where the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are located according to the target positions of the target samples N306-4 and N306-5. Figure 2 It can be seen that the target storage area 1011 where the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are located is the storage area 11 of the basket 1. Therefore, the controller 103 can turn on the target indicator light of the storage area 11 of the basket 1 to make the target indicator light illuminate the target samples N306-4 and N306-5, so that the user can quickly locate the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 based on the light signal output by the target indicator light.

[0064] In another embodiment, the signal device 1012 may include a speaker, and the control device of the sample manager 101 is connected to the speaker. The controller 103 may control the speaker to voice broadcast the target storage area and target position where the target sample is located.

[0065] The signal device 1012 may be a speaker, and in the embodiment of the present application, the speaker may be connected to the control device in the sample manager 101. The control device (Industrial Personal Computer, IPC) may be an industrial control computer, which is a general term for a tool that uses a bus structure to detect and control the production process and electromechanical equipment and process equipment.

[0066] In actual applications, the controller 103 can determine the target storage area 1011 where the target sample is located according to the target position of the target sample in the sample manager 101, and then control the speaker to voice broadcast the target storage area 1011 and the target position where the target sample is located. Figure 2 In the example, the controller 103 determines the target storage area 1011 where the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are located according to the target positions of the target samples N306-4 and N306-5, and then controls the speaker to announce the target storage area 1011 and the target position where the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are located. Figure 2 It can be seen that the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 are respectively stored at positions 4 and 5 of the storage area 11 of the basket 1. Therefore, the controller 103 can control the speaker to voice broadcast the positions 4 and 5 of the storage area 11 of the basket 1, so that the user can quickly locate the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 based on the voice signal output by the speaker.

[0067] In one implementation, the receiving device 102 may display the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 as a target color.

[0068] In addition to the light signal of the indicator light or the voice signal of the speaker, the embodiment of the present invention can also display the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 as a target color through the receiving device 102 to further assist the user to quickly locate the target sample.

[0069] In a specific implementation, after determining the target position of the target sample in the sample manager 101, the controller 103 may send the target position to the receiving device 102, and the receiving device 102 may display the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 as the target color based on the target position. For example, the controller 103 may send the target positions of the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 to the receiving device 102, and the receiving device 102 may display the target samples N306-4 and N306-5 in the monitoring interface 1021 as the target colors, respectively, based on the target positions.

[0070] Among them, the target color can be different from the background color of the monitoring interface 1021. For example, a brighter color can be selected as the target color. For example, the background color of the monitoring interface 1021 is generally white, so yellow can be selected as the target color. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0071] In addition, since there are a large number of target samples and the target samples are distributed in various target storage areas, if the signal devices 1012 in all target storage areas send out alarm signals at the same time, it is easy to interfere with the positioning of the target samples. Therefore, the controller 103 can control the alarm timing of the signal device 1012.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the user can click on a target storage area on the monitoring interface, and the receiving device 102 can send the information of the target storage area triggered by the user to the controller 103, and the controller 103 controls the signal device 1012 of the target storage area to output an alarm signal for the target sample in the target storage area, so that the user can quickly locate the target sample in the current target storage area based on the alarm signal, and then re-test the target sample in the current target storage area. Then, the user can click on the next target storage area on the monitoring interface, and re-test the target sample in the next target storage area in the above manner until the target samples in all target storage areas have been re-tested.

[0073] In one embodiment, after the receiving device 102 receives a cancel instruction for the target sample, the receiving device 102 can restore the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 to a default color, and the controller 103 can disconnect the target indicator light of the target storage area 1011 so that the target indicator light stops illuminating the target sample.

[0074] If the user wants to cancel the screening of the target sample, the user can click the target status icon again on the monitoring interface 1021 to trigger a cancel instruction for the target sample. After receiving the cancel instruction, the receiving device 102 can restore the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 to a default color, wherein the default color can be a color consistent with the background color of the monitoring interface 1021, for example, the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 can be restored to white. At the same time, the receiving device 102 can send a cancel instruction to the controller 103, and the controller 103 disconnects the target indicator light of the target storage area 1011, so that the target indicator light stops illuminating the target sample.

[0075] In another embodiment, after the receiving device 102 receives a cancel instruction for the target sample, the receiving device 102 may restore the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 to a default color, and the controller 103 may control the speaker to stop voice broadcasting of the target sample.

[0076] If the user wants to cancel the screening of the target sample, the user can click the target status icon again on the monitoring interface 1021 to trigger a cancel instruction for the target sample. After receiving the cancel instruction, the receiving device 102 can restore the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 to a default color, where the default color can be a color consistent with the background color of the monitoring interface 1021, for example, the target sample in the monitoring interface 1021 can be restored to white. At the same time, the receiving device 102 can send the cancel instruction to the controller 103, and the controller 103 controls the speaker to stop the voice broadcast of the target sample.

[0077] As can be seen from this example, the sample monitoring system provided by the present application includes a sample manager, in which multiple samples are stored, and the sample manager is equipped with a signal device. After the receiving device of the sample monitoring system receives the sample monitoring instruction, wherein the sample monitoring instruction includes the state of the target sample to be monitored, the controller of the sample monitoring system determines the target sample that matches the state of the target sample and determines the target position of the target sample in the sample manager, and the signal device reports the target position of the target sample in an acoustic or optical manner. The present application equips the sample manager of the sample monitoring system with a signal device, so that after the target sample is screened out, the target position of the target sample is reported in an acoustic or optical manner through the signal device, which can not only solve the problem of easily missing the target sample, but also assist the user in quickly locating the target sample, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0078] Corresponding to the aforementioned application function implementation method embodiment, the present application also provides a sample monitoring method, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, a sample analyzer and corresponding embodiments.
