Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic equipment, and in particular to a sample analysis system and a transfer control method of a sample container in the sample analysis system. Background Art

[0002] A sample analysis system provided by the related technology includes a conveyor track assembly, a sample container transfer device, and at least one sample analysis device. The sample analysis device is connected to the conveyor track assembly through the sample container transfer device. The sample container transfer device is also called an RBU module, which is mainly used to grab the sample containers on the sample holder transported by the conveyor track assembly one by one to the sample rack inside the sample container transfer device, and then send the sample containers to the sample analysis device through the sample rack for measurement, and finally grab the sample containers on the sample rack after the measurement is completed one by one back to the sample holder, and return to the conveyor track assembly for recycling. This related technology uses the method of sample holder to sample rack (i.e. single tube to sample rack) to transfer the sample container to the sample analysis device, that is: the sample container is transported on the conveyor track assembly using the sample holder to carry a single sample container, and after entering each sample analysis device node, it is converted to be transported using the sample rack carrying the sample container, and enters the sample analysis device in the form of the sample rack carrying the sample container.

[0003] However, the above sample analysis system still has the following shortcomings in specific applications: after the RBU module grabs the sample container from the sample holder to the sample rack, it cannot be tested in priority in the sample rack buffer channel, and only queues up to enter the sample analysis device in the order of loading on the sample rack. In this way, it is impossible to meet the temporary need to upgrade a sample in the sample buffer channel to a high-priority sample and allow the sample to enter the sample analysis device for testing, which will result in individual samples that urgently need test reports being unable to quickly produce test reports, which is likely to cause dissatisfaction among patients, their families and medical staff.

In this embodiment, by setting up the sample container transfer device 200, the effect of transferring the sample container 40 from the sample seat 20 to the sample rack 30 for transmission is achieved, so that the sample transmission function between the conveying track assembly 100 with the conveying function of the sample seat 20 and the sample analysis device 300 with the conveying function of the sample rack 30 can be realized without changing the structure of the conveying track assembly 100 and the sample analysis device 300.

[0083] As an embodiment, the sample container transfer device 200 includes a sample seat scheduling mechanism 210, a sample container scheduling mechanism 220 and a sample rack scheduling mechanism 230. The sample seat scheduling mechanism 210 includes a sample seat input channel 211, a sample seat transfer component 212 and a sample seat output channel 213. The sample seat input channel 211 is used to transfer the sample seat 20 transported by the conveying track component 100 to the sample seat scheduling mechanism 210 to the sample seat transfer component 212. The sample seat transfer component 212 is at least used to transfer the sample seat 20 from the sample seat input channel 211 to the rack position 201 or the sample seat output channel 213 or the first type of sample. The buffer area, the sample seat output channel 213 is used to transport the sample seat 20 transported to the sample seat output channel 213 by the sample seat transfer component 212 to the conveying track component 100; the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is used to schedule the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20 located at the upper shelf position 201 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230, the sample rack 30 has at least two second container positions, each second container position is used to place a single sample container 40; the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 is used to schedule the sample rack 30 loaded with the sample container 40 and the sample container 40 loaded with the sample to the sample analysis device 300. The sample seat 20 is a transmission carrier for a single sample container 40, and the sample rack 30 is a transmission carrier for multiple sample containers 40. The sample seat scheduling mechanism 210 is set up to realize the connection between the sample container transfer device 200 and the conveying track component 100 on the one hand, and to realize the transmission of the sample seat 20 in the sample container transfer device 200 on the other hand. The sample holder input channel 211 is used to receive the sample holder 20 transported to the sample container transfer device 200 by the transport track assembly 100, the sample holder transfer assembly 212 is used to transfer the sample holder 20 entering the sample container transfer device 200, and the sample holder output channel 213 is used to transport the sample holder 20 output by the sample container transfer device 200 to the transport track assembly 100. The sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 is used to realize the connection between the sample container transfer device 200 and the sample analysis device 300, and to realize the transmission of the sample rack 30 in the sample container transfer device 200. The sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is used to realize the interaction between the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 and the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230, and to realize the transfer of the sample container 40 between the sample holder 20 and the sample rack 30.

[0084] As an embodiment, the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 includes a carrying platform 231 and a sample rack transfer assembly 232. The carrying platform 231 is formed with a loading position 207, a sample rack loading channel 2312 and a plurality of sample rack buffer channels 2301. The plurality of sample rack buffer channels 2301 constitute a sample rack buffer area 2311. The sample container 40 transfer mechanism is used to schedule the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 at the loading position 201 to the sample rack 30 at the loading position 207. The sample rack loading channel 2312 is used to allow the sample rack 30 loaded with the sample container 40 to be sampled to enter the sample analysis device 300. Each sample rack buffer channel 2301 is used to buffer a single sample rack 30. The sample rack transfer assembly 232 is used to transfer the sample rack 30 between the loading position 207, the sample rack buffer channel 2301 and the sample rack loading channel 2312. The loading position 207 is the position where the sample rack 30 is loaded with the sample container 40, that is, the loading position 207 is used to carry the sample rack 30 for the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to place the sample container 40 to be sampled (the sample to be sampled in the sample container 40 can be a first type of sample or a second type of sample). The multiple sample rack buffer channels 2301 are used to buffer at least the sample racks 30 to be sampled and the empty sample racks 30.

[0085] As an embodiment, the sample rack transfer component 232 can preferentially transport the sample rack 30 in any sample rack buffer channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312, so that the sample rack 30 preferentially enters the sample analysis device 300 through the sample rack loading channel 2312 for measurement. In this embodiment, the scheduling of the sample rack transfer component 232 may not be affected by the arrangement positions of the sample racks 30 in the multiple sample rack loading channels 2312, and the sample racks 30 in each sample rack buffer channel 2301 can be arbitrarily scheduled, so that the scheduling order of the sample racks 30 cached in the multiple sample rack buffer channels 2301 can be arbitrarily adjusted and changed, so that even after the sample is loaded on the sample rack 30 and stored in the sample rack buffer channel 2301 in the sample container transfer device 200, the priority of a certain sample in the sample rack buffer channel 2301 can be increased and the sample can be placed in the sample rack buffer channel 2301 according to actual needs. It can be preferentially scheduled to the sample analysis device 300 for measurement, thereby realizing the function of preferentially scheduling high-priority samples in the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 of the sample container transfer device 200, that is, high-priority samples can be queued and preferentially scheduled in the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230, thereby helping to shorten the detection report issuance time of high-priority samples, and on the other hand, it is also helpful to meet the temporary need to upgrade a sample in the sample cache channel to a high-priority sample and enable the sample to enter the sample analysis device 300 for measurement first, which is helpful to improve the satisfaction of medical staff with the sample analysis system 10.

[0086] As an embodiment, the sample analysis system 10 also includes a control device 500, and the sample rack transfer component 232 is used to preferentially transport the sample rack 30 in any sample rack cache channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312 under the control of the control device 500, so that the sample rack 30 preferentially enters the sample analysis device 300 through the sample rack loading channel 2312 for measurement.

[0087] As an embodiment, the sample analysis system 10 also includes a human-computer interaction device 700, which is at least used to receive instructions input by an operator; the control device 500 is also configured to: according to an instruction input by the operator through the human-computer interaction device 700 to increase the measurement priority of a sample, increase the priority of a sample rack 30 loaded with a sample corresponding to the instruction in a sample rack cache channel 2301 entering the sample rack loading channel 2312 to a priority higher than the priority of sample racks 30 in other sample rack cache channels 2301 entering the sample rack loading channel 2312, and control the sample rack transfer component 232 to transfer the sample racks 30 in each sample rack cache channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312 in order from high to low priority of entering the sample rack loading channel 2312. In the batch analysis of samples, the speed at which the sample analysis device 300 absorbs samples to consume the sample racks 30 is slower than the speed at which the sample container transfer device 200 transfers the sample containers 40 from the sample holder 20 to the sample racks 30 to form the sample racks 30 loaded with the samples to be absorbed. Therefore, the sample racks 30 will be formed faster in the sample container transfer device 200, and some sample racks 30 will not be immediately delivered to the sample analysis device 300, but will be cached in the sample rack buffer channel 2301. At this time, if the priority of any sample on the sample rack 30 in the sample rack buffer area 2311 is manually increased, the sample rack transfer component 232 can preferentially send the sample rack 30 with the increased priority to the sample rack loading channel 2312, and then deliver it to the sample analysis device 300 through the sample rack loading channel 2312. In this embodiment, the priority of a sample in the first sample rack cache channel 2301 to enter the sample rack loading channel 2312 can be arbitrarily increased, so that the operator can prioritize a sample in the queue in the sample rack cache channel 2301 to be sent to the sample analysis device 300 for sampling and testing according to actual needs.

[0088] As an implementation manner, the human-computer interaction device 700 includes at least one of a display, a mouse, a keyboard, and a sound input component.

[0089] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is configured to: when the sample racks 30 cached in the multiple sample rack cache channels 2301 include sample racks 30 loaded with first-class samples but not loaded with second-class samples and sample racks 30 loaded with at least one second-class sample, control the sample rack transfer component 232 to first transport the sample rack 30 loaded with at least one second-class sample from the sample rack cache channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312, and then transport the sample rack 30 loaded with first-class samples but not loaded with second-class samples from the sample rack cache channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312; wherein the measurement priority of the second-class samples is higher than the measurement priority of the first-class samples, for example, the second-class samples are emergency samples, and the first-class samples are ordinary samples. The sample rack 30 loaded with the first-class samples but not loaded with the second-class samples, that is, the sample containers 40 loaded in the sample rack 30 are all sample containers 40 loaded with the first-class samples. The sample rack 30 loaded with at least one second-category sample is specifically: at least one sample container 40 loaded in the sample rack 30 is a sample container 40 loaded with the second-category sample, and the other sample containers 40 loaded in the sample rack 30 can be sample containers 40 loaded with the second-category sample, or can be sample containers 40 loaded with the first-category sample, that is, the sample containers 40 loaded with the first-category sample and the sample containers 40 loaded with the second-category sample can be loaded in the same sample rack 30, or can be separately loaded in different sample racks 30. In this embodiment, the order in which the sample rack 30 enters the sample analysis device 300 is controlled according to the priority of the samples in the sample rack 30. The priority of the sample rack 30 loaded with the second-category sample entering the sample analysis device 300 is higher than the priority of the sample rack 30 loaded with all the first-category samples entering the sample analysis device 300, which is conducive to shortening the time for issuing the detection report of the second-category sample.

[0090] As an implementation scheme, the carrying platform 231 is also formed with an unloading position 208 and a sample rack unloading channel 2313. The sample rack unloading channel 2313 is used to receive the sample rack 30 loaded with the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked by the sample analysis device 300 and transported to the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230. In this implementation scheme, the loading position 207 and the unloading position 208 are the same position. The sample rack loading channel 2312 and the sample rack unloading channel 2313 are two independent channels, which are conducive to the sample rack 30 to be sucked into the sample analysis device 300 from the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 and the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked can be transported from the sample analysis device 300 to the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 in parallel, which is conducive to improving the scheduling efficiency. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative implementation scheme, the sample rack loading channel 2312 and the sample rack unloading channel 2313 can also be the same channel; the loading position 207 and the unloading position 208 can also be two different positions but located on the same straight line trajectory.

[0091] As an embodiment, the sample rack transfer component 232 includes a first dispatching vehicle 2321, which is used to perform the following actions: transferring an empty sample rack 30 from the sample rack cache channel 2301 to the loading position 207, transferring a sample rack 30 loaded with sample containers 40 and the sample containers 40 are loaded with first-class samples or second-class samples from the loading position 207 to the sample rack cache channel 2301, transferring a sample rack 30 loaded with sample containers 40 and the sample containers 40 are loaded with first-class samples or second-class samples from the sample rack cache channel 2301 to the sample rack loading channel 2312, and transferring a sample rack 30 loaded with sample containers 40 after sample aspiration from the sample rack unloading channel 2313 to the unloading position 208 or the sample rack cache channel 2301. In this embodiment, after the sample rack 30 is loaded at the loading position 207, it is first dispatched to the sample rack cache channel 2301 to queue up, and then dispatched to the sample rack loading channel 2312. This scheduling scheme is mainly suitable for the scenario where the sample rack 30 waiting for sample aspiration in the sample rack cache channel 2301 is queuing up and waiting for sample aspiration.

[0092] As an embodiment, the first dispatch vehicle 2321 is also used to perform the following actions: transferring an empty sample rack 30 from the sample rack buffer channel 2301 to the loading position 207, transferring a sample rack 30 loaded with a sample container 40 and loaded with a first type of sample or a second type of sample in the sample container 40 from the loading position 207 to the sample rack loading channel 2312, and transferring a sample rack 30 loaded with a sample container 40 after sample suction is completed from the sample rack unloading channel 2313 to the unloading position 208 or the sample rack buffer channel 2301. In this embodiment, after the sample rack 30 is loaded at the loading position 207, it is directly dispatched to the sample rack loading channel 2312 without being dispatched to the sample rack buffer channel 2301. This dispatching scheme is mainly applicable to the scenario where there are no sample racks 30 to be sucked in the sample rack buffer channel 2301 and they are waiting in line for sample suction, for example, the dispatching scheme after the first sample rack 30 to be sucked is loaded at the loading position 207 after the sample analysis system 10 is turned on.

[0093] As an embodiment, a plurality of sample rack cache channels 2301, a sample rack loading channel 2312, and a sample rack unloading channel 2313 are arranged side by side along a first direction Y; the loading position 207 is arranged between the loading position 201 and the sample rack cache channel 2301 along a second direction X; the first dispatching vehicle 2321 is arranged between the loading position 201 and the sample rack cache channel 2301 along the second direction X, and the first dispatching vehicle 2321 can move along the first direction Y; wherein the first direction Y and the second direction X are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, multiple first sample rack cache channels 2301 are arranged in a row with the sample rack loading channel 2312 and the sample rack unloading channel 2313, and the first dispatching vehicle 2321 can be moved to positions aligned with the sample rack loading channel 2312, the sample rack unloading channel 2313, and each first sample rack cache channel 2301, so that the first dispatching vehicle 2321 can take and place sample racks 30 from each first sample rack cache channel 2301, place the sample rack 30 to be sampled in the sample rack loading channel 2312 of the sample rack 30, and take out the sample rack 30 after sample aspiration from the sample rack unloading channel 2313.

[0094] In the above scheme, the carrying platform 231 is rectangular, and a plurality of sample rack buffer channels 2301 are arranged in a row with the sample rack loading channel 2312 and the sample rack unloading channel 2313. Of course, in specific applications, the arrangement of the carrying platform 231 is not limited thereto. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the carrying platform 231 is disc-shaped, and a plurality of sample rack buffer channels 2301 are distributed on the carrying platform 231 along the horizontal circumferential direction; the sample rack transfer assembly 232 includes a device for driving the carrying platform 231 to rotate, so as to at least rotate the sample rack 30 in the sample rack buffer channel 2301 to the loading position 207 and the sample rack loading channel 2312, respectively.

[0095] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is also configured to: before controlling the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207, if a sample rack 30 loaded with the first type of sample is placed at the loading position 207, first control the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 to schedule the sample rack 30 loaded with the first type of sample from the loading position 207 to the sample rack buffer area 2311, control the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 to transfer the empty sample rack 30 from the sample rack buffer area 2311 to the loading position 207, and then control the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207. In this embodiment, the sample containers 40 loaded with the first type of samples and the sample containers 40 loaded with the second type of samples are not mixed in the same sample rack 30, which is conducive to the rapid sampling, measurement, and report generation of the second type of samples. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative embodiment, when the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 has already screened and scheduled the sample containers 40, the sample containers 40 loaded with the first type of samples and the sample containers 40 loaded with the second type of samples can also be mixed in the same sample rack 30.

[0096] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is also configured to: before controlling the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207, if there is no sample rack 30 at the loading position 207, first control the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 to transfer the empty sample rack 30 from the sample rack buffer area 2311 to the loading position 207, and then control the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207.

[0097] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is also configured to: before controlling the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the rack position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207, if the empty sample rack 30 is placed at the loading position 207, then control the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample seat 20 at the rack position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207.

[0098] As an embodiment, the sample analysis system 10 further includes a first information acquisition component 600, which is arranged at the shelf position 201 on the sample seat scheduling mechanism 210 to acquire information on the sample seat 20 transported to the shelf position 201, which is at least used to characterize the type of the sample in the sample container 40, and / or information on the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20, which is at least used to characterize the type of the sample in the sample container 40.

In this embodiment, by arranging the first information acquisition component 600 at the shelf position 201, it is used to further confirm the information of the sample seat 20 and / or the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20 that arrives at the shelf position 201, so as to facilitate the execution of the next scheduling action according to the information confirmation, and further facilitate the accuracy and reliability of the scheduling path of the sample container 40 in the sample container transfer device 200.

[0099] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is further configured to: obtain the type information of the sample in the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 transported to the rack position 201 by the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600, control the sample container 40 transfer mechanism to schedule the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 at the rack position 201 after the information acquisition operation by the first information acquisition component 600 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230, and associate the type information of the sample in the sample container 40 with the position information of the sample container 40 in the sample rack 30 and the position information of the sample rack 30, and update them in real time. In this embodiment, by associating the type information of the sample in the sample container 40 with the position information of the sample container 40 in the sample rack 30 and the position information of the sample rack 30, it is beneficial for high-priority samples to be preferentially scheduled to the sample analysis device 300 for measurement after being placed in the sample rack 30.

[0100] As an embodiment, the first information acquisition component 600 is arranged at the shelving position 201, and the control device 500 is further configured as follows: when it is obtained according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600 that the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported to the shelving position 201, if the sample rack 30 loaded with the first type of sample is placed at the loading position 207, the sample rack transfer component 232 is first controlled to dispatch the sample rack 30 loaded with the first type of sample from the loading position 207 to the sample rack cache channel 2301, the sample rack transfer component 232 is controlled to dispatch an empty sample rack 30 in a sample rack cache channel 2301 to the loading position 207, and then the sample container 40 transfer mechanism is controlled to transfer the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample holder 20 at the shelving position 201 to the empty sample rack 30 at the loading position 207. In this embodiment, the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample and the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample are not mixed in the same sample rack 30, which is conducive to the rapid sampling, measurement and report generation of the second type of sample.

When the sample container 40 is placed on the sample holder 20, the control device 500 will bind the associated information of the sample in the sample container 40 with the wireless radio frequency card of the sample holder 20, and when the wireless radio frequency card on the sample holder 20 is identified, the associated information of the sample on the sample holder 20 can be obtained at the same time. The associated information of the sample includes information such as the type of the sample and the item to be tested. The first information acquisition component 600 obtains the information on the sample holder 20 used to characterize the type of the sample in the sample container 40 by identifying the wireless radio frequency card on the sample holder 20, and its structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in specific applications, the configuration of the first information acquisition component 600 is not limited thereto. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the first information acquisition component 600 may also be a component for identifying a barcode or a QR code on the sample holder 20; or, as another alternative embodiment, the first information acquisition component 600 may also be a component for identifying a barcode or a QR code on a sample container 40 or an appearance feature of the sample container 40 (e.g., the shape of the sample container 40 and / or the color of the cap).

In this embodiment, the control device 500 controls the scheduling mode of the sample holder 20 in the sample holder 20 transfer device according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400, so that the sample container transfer device 200 can adopt different scheduling modes for samples of different priorities, which is beneficial to realize the function of screening and prioritizing the high-priority samples in the sample container transfer device 200, avoiding the undesirable phenomenon that the high-priority samples wait in line for a long time in the sample container transfer device 200, and further helping to shorten the detection report issuance time of the high-priority samples.

[0105] As an embodiment, the sample seat scheduling mechanism 210 includes a sample seat input channel 211, a sample seat transfer component 212 and a sample seat output channel 213. The shelf position 201 is formed in the sample seat transfer component 212.

In this embodiment, the number of sample seat scheduling mechanisms 210 and the number of sample seat input channels 211 in the sample container transfer device 200 are both set to one, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the sample container transfer device 200 and reducing the volume of the sample container transfer device 200.

[0107] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is configured to: obtain the type information of the sample in the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 transported by the transport track assembly 100 to the second preset position 110 according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400; when it is obtained according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400 that the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, control the sample container transfer device 200 to execute the following first scheduling mode: first control the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 to move the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample between the sample holder 20 and the rack position 201 and loaded with the sample holder 20; Each sample seat 20 carrying the first type of sample is sequentially dispatched to the rack position 201, and the sample seat transfer component 212 is controlled to dispatch each sample seat 20 carrying the first type of sample at the rack position 201 to the sample seat output channel 213 or the first type of sample buffer area along the first path in sequence, and then the sample seat dispatching mechanism 210 is controlled to dispatch the sample seat 20 carrying the second type of sample to the rack position 201, and the sample container dispatching mechanism 220 is controlled to dispatch the sample container 40 carrying the second type of sample on the sample seat 20 at the rack position 201 along the second path to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack dispatching mechanism 230. In the first dispatching mode, after the sample seat 20 carrying the first type of sample is dispatched to the sample seat output channel 213 by the sample seat transfer component 212, it is transported to the transport track component 100 by the sample seat output channel 213. In the present embodiment, when it is detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with a second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213 before the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transferred to the rack position 201, without controlling the sample container dispatching mechanism 220 to dispatch the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample from the sample holder 20 to the sample rack 30, thereby achieving the effect of preferentially dispatching the second type of sample to the sample rack 30, which is beneficial to shortening the waiting time of the second type of sample in the sample container transfer device 200.In a specific application, when it is detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with a second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample that arrives at the shelf position 201 is not limited to being dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213. For example, as an alternative embodiment, a first type of sample buffer area can also be set in the sample container transfer device 200. When it is detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with a second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, before the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transferred to the shelf position 201, the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample that arrives at the shelf position 201 is dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213. The sample seat 20 of the sample is not limited to being dispatched to the first type of sample buffer area, that is: in the first dispatching mode, the sample seat dispatching mechanism 210 is first controlled to dispatch each sample seat 20 located between the sample seat 20 loaded with the second type of sample and the shelf position 201 and loaded with the first type of sample to the shelf position 201 in sequence, and the sample seat transfer component 212 is controlled to dispatch each sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 and loaded with the first type of sample to the first type of sample buffer area along the first path in sequence, and then the sample seat dispatching mechanism 210 is controlled to dispatch the sample seat 20 loaded with the second type of sample to the shelf position 201.

[0108] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is further configured to: control the conveying track assembly 100 to re-convey the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample and dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213 along the first path by the sample holder dispatching mechanism 210 in the first dispatching mode, to the sample holder input channel 211 via the second preset position 110. In this embodiment, in the first dispatching mode, after the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213, it is transferred to the conveying track assembly 100 via the sample holder output channel 213, and then re-conveyed back to the sample container transfer device 200 via the conveying track assembly 100, and dispatched to the shelf position 201 by the sample container transfer device 200, until the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample on the sample holder 20 is dispatched to the sample rack 30. The use of this control scheme can help prevent the sample from being missed in the sample analysis system 10. In an alternative embodiment, in the first scheduling mode, if the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is scheduled to the first type of sample buffer area instead of the sample holder output channel 213, then after the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is scheduled to the first type of sample buffer area, the sample container transfer device 200 will re-scheduling it to the shelf position 201 until the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample on the sample holder 20 is scheduled to the sample rack 30, that is, the control device 500 is further configured to control the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 to schedule the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample and scheduled to the first type of sample buffer area along the first path by the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 in the first scheduling mode to the shelf position 201.

[0109] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is further configured to: when, based on the feedback information from the second information acquisition component 400, it is obtained that a sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, and before the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample reaches the shelf position 201, no sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported through the second preset position 110, control the sample container transfer device 200 to execute the following second scheduling mode: control the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 to schedule the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample to the shelf position 201, and control the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to schedule the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample on the sample holder 20 located at the shelf position 201 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230. In a specific application, when it is detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with a first type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is transferred to the rack position 201, and before the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is transferred to the rack position 201, it is not detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with a second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, then when the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is transferred to the rack position 201, the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is controlled to schedule the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample on the sample holder 20 located at the rack position 201 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230. The first scheduling mode is mainly used to implement the scheduling function of transferring the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample holder 20 to the sample rack 30. The second scheduling mode is mainly used to implement the scheduling function of transferring the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample from the sample holder 20 to the sample rack 30. When, according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400, it is obtained that the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, the first scheduling mode is enabled to realize the scheduling of the sample container 40 in the sample container transfer device 200; conversely, when, according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400, it is obtained that the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, and the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is not transported to the second preset position 110, the second scheduling mode is enabled to realize the scheduling of the sample container 40 in the sample container transfer device 200.

[0110] As an embodiment, the second information acquisition component 400 is a wireless radio frequency reader (i.e., an RFID reader), and a wireless radio frequency card or a wireless radio frequency electronic tag is provided on the sample holder 20. When the sample container 40 is placed on the sample holder 20, the control device 500 will bind the associated information of the sample in the sample container 40 with the wireless radio frequency card of the sample holder 20, and when the wireless radio frequency card on the sample holder 20 is identified, the associated information of the sample on the sample holder 20 can be obtained at the same time. The associated information of the sample includes information such as the type of the sample and the item to be tested. The second information acquisition component 400 obtains the information on the sample holder 20 used to characterize the type of the sample in the sample container 40 by identifying the wireless radio frequency card on the sample holder 20, and its structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, in specific applications, the configuration of the second information acquisition component 400 is not limited thereto. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the second information acquisition component 400 may also be a component for identifying a barcode or a QR code on the sample holder 20; or, as another alternative embodiment, the second information acquisition component 400 may also be a component for identifying a barcode or a QR code on a sample container 40 or an appearance feature of the sample container 40 (e.g., the shape of the sample container 40 and / or the color of the cap).

[0111] As an embodiment, a first information acquisition component 600 is set at the shelving position 201 to further confirm the information of the sample seat 20 and / or the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20 that arrives at the shelving position 201, so as to facilitate the execution of the next scheduling action according to the information confirmation, thereby facilitating the accuracy and reliability of the scheduling path of the sample container 40 in the sample container transfer device 200.

[0112] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is further configured to: when it is obtained according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400 that the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110, control the sample container transfer device 200 to execute the following first scheduling mode: if it is determined according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600 that the sample holder 20 transported to the rack position 201 carries the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample, then control the sample holder transfer component 212 to load the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample. The sample holder 20 of the first type of sample is transferred from the rack position 201 to the sample holder output channel 213 or the first type of sample buffer area; if it is determined according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600 that the sample holder 20 transported to the rack position 201 by the sample holder transfer component 212 carries the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample, the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is controlled to schedule the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample on the sample holder 20 at the rack position 201 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230. In this embodiment, through the dual information acquisition feedback of the first information acquisition component 600 and the second information acquisition component 400, it is convenient to simultaneously monitor the type information of the samples on the sample holder 20 arriving at the second preset position 110 and the rack position 201, and it is convenient to better control the scheduling paths of the sample containers 40 loaded with the first type of sample and the sample containers 40 loaded with the second type of sample in the sample container transfer device 200, and it is convenient to realize the accurate screening and priority scheduling of the second type of samples with high priority. When it is detected that a sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transported to the second preset position 110 according to the feedback information of the second information acquisition component 400, then according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600, before the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is transferred to the rack position 201, the sample holder 20 that arrives at the rack position 201 and is loaded with the first type of sample is dispatched to the sample holder output channel 213, without controlling the sample container dispatching mechanism 220 to execute the action of dispatching the sample container 40 loaded with the first type of sample from the sample holder 20 to the sample rack 30; when according to the feedback information of the first information acquisition component 600, it is obtained that the sample holder 20 loaded with the second type of sample is to be transferred to the rack position 201, the sample container dispatching mechanism 220 is controlled to execute the action of dispatching the sample container 40 loaded with the second type of sample from the sample holder 20 to the sample rack 30.

[0113] As an embodiment, the sample seat transfer assembly 212 includes a turntable 2121 and a first power component, the turntable 2121 has a positioning portion 2122 for positioning the sample seat 20, and the first power component is used to drive the turntable 2121 to rotate so that the positioning portion 2122 rotates to at least a first import position 202, a shelf position 201 and a first export position 203, respectively, wherein the first import position 202 is a position for the sample seat 20 transported by the sample seat input channel 211 to enter the turntable 2121, and the first export position 203 is a position for guiding the sample seat 20 transferred by the turntable 2121 to the sample seat output channel 213. The first import position 202 is the entrance for the sample container 40 to enter the sample seat transfer component 212, the shelf position 201 and the first export position 203 are two different exits for the sample container 40 to be output from the sample seat transfer component 212, the shelf position 201 is the exit for the sample container 40 to be transferred from the sample seat 20 to the sample rack 30 through the sample container scheduling mechanism 220, and the first export position 203 is the exit for the sample container 40 to be output to the sample seat output channel 213 or the first type sample buffer area with the sample seat 20 as a carrier.

The first power component is mainly used to provide driving force for the rotation of the turntable 2121. The rotation of the turntable 2121 can realize the rapid switching of the sample container 40 between one inlet and two outlets of the sample holder transfer assembly 212, so as to quickly change the transmission direction of the sample holder 20 and the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 in the sample container transfer device 200. In this embodiment, the sample holder 20 and the sample container 40 on the sample holder 20 are changed in the transmission direction through the turntable 2121, which has the beneficial effect of simple and compact structure, and its adjustment is convenient and fast, which is conducive to improving the scheduling efficiency of the sample container 40 and the sample holder 20 in the sample container transfer device 200.

[0114] As an embodiment, the sample holder scheduling mechanism 210 transports the sample holder 20 transported from the transport track assembly 100 to the sample container transfer device 200 to the shelf position 201, including: firstly controlling the first power component to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to rotate to the first introduction position 202, so that the sample holder 20 transported from the sample holder input channel 211 to the sample holder transfer assembly 212 and loaded with the first type of sample or the second type of sample is transported to the turntable 2121 via the first introduction position 202; and then controlling the first power component to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to drive the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample or the second type of sample to rotate from the first introduction position 202 to the shelf position 201. The sample holder 20 is transported to the turntable 2121 via the first introduction position 202, specifically referring to the sample holder 20 being transported to the position where it is engaged with the positioning portion 2122 at the first introduction position 202.

[0115] As an embodiment, the positioning portion 2122 is an open groove recessed from the outer edge of the turntable 2121, and the open groove is used to engage with the sample holder 20, and the open groove has an opening located at the outer edge of the turntable 2121. The sample holder 20 has a protrusion for inserting into the open groove and engaging with the open groove. The opening is the entrance for the sample holder 20 to enter the turntable 2121 and the exit for the sample holder 20 to detach from the turntable 2121. In this embodiment, the open groove is used as the positioning portion 2122, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the turntable 2121.

[0116] As an implementation mode, the inner side wall of the opening groove forms a U-shaped structure.

[0117] As an embodiment, when the positioning portion 2122 rotates to the first introduction position 202, the opening of the opening groove faces the sample holder input channel 211. The opening here faces the sample holder input channel 211 at an inclined angle or in a colinear direction, as long as it is ensured that the sample holder 20 transported by the sample holder input channel 211 can move through the opening at the first introduction position 202 and enter the turntable 2121.

[0118] As an embodiment, when the positioning portion 2122 rotates to the first export position 203, the opening of the opening groove faces the sample seat output channel 213. The opening here faces the sample seat output channel 213 at an inclined angle or in a colinear direction, as long as it is ensured that the sample seat 20 can be transported to the sample seat output channel 213 through the opening when it is separated from the turntable 2121 at the first export position 203.

[0119] As an embodiment, the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 is provided with a loading position 207, and the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 is at least used to schedule the empty sample rack 30 to the loading position 207, and the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is used to transfer the sample container 40 to be sucked in the sample holder 20 located at the rack position 201 to the sample rack 30 at the loading position 207. When the positioning portion 2122 rotates to the rack position 201, the opening of the opening slot faces away from or toward the loading position 207, so that the scheduling movement of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 between the rack position 201 and the loading position 207 is a linear movement, which is conducive to simplifying the movement structure of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220.

[0120] As an embodiment, the first power component is also used to drive the positioning part 2122 of the turntable 2121 to rotate to the lower shelf position 206; the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is also used to transfer the sample container 40 that has been completed and located on the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 from the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 to the empty sample seat 20 at the lower shelf position 206. The control device 500 is configured to: control the first power component to drive the positioning part 2122 of the turntable 2121 to drive the sample seat 20 loaded with the sample container 40 that has completed the sample aspiration to rotate from the lower shelf position 206 to the first export position 203, so that the sample seat 20 loaded with the sample container 40 that has completed the sample aspiration is transported to the sample seat output channel 213 through the first export position 203. The sample seat output channel 213 is also used to transport the sample seat 20 that has been transported to the sample seat output channel 213 by the sample seat transfer component 212 and loaded with the sample container 40 that has completed the sample aspiration to the transport track component 100. In this embodiment, the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked is transferred to the conveying track assembly 100 by the sample container transfer device 200, and is transferred to the first recovery channel for recovery by the conveying track assembly 100. Of course, in specific applications, the recovery method of the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked is not limited to this. For example, as an alternative embodiment, the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked can be transferred to the second recovery channel for recovery by the sample analysis device 300; or, as another alternative embodiment, the sample container 40 after the sample is sucked can be transferred to the third recovery channel for recovery by the sample container transfer device 200.

[0121] As an implementation mode, the unloading position 206 and the loading position 201 are two different positions. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative implementation mode, the unloading position 206 and the loading position 201 can also be the same position.

[0122] As an embodiment, the lower shelf position 206 and the upper shelf position 201 are two different positions but located on the same straight line trajectory. In this way, the scheduling movement of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 between the upper shelf position 201 and the loading position 207 is a straight line movement, which is conducive to simplifying the motion structure of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220.

[0123] As an embodiment, the carrying platform 231 is further formed with an unloading position 208, the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 is used at least to schedule an empty sample rack 30 to the loading position 207 and to schedule a sample rack 30 loaded with a sample container 40 after sample aspiration to the unloading position 208, and the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 is used to transfer a sample container 40 to be aspirated in a sample holder 20 located at the upper rack position 201 to the sample rack 30 at the loading position 207, and to transfer a sample container 40 to be aspirated in a sample holder 30 located at the unloading position 208 to an empty sample holder 20 located at the lower rack position 206. The loading position 207 is the position where the sample holder 30 is loaded with the sample container 40, that is, the loading position 207 is used to carry the sample holder 30 for the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to place the sample container 40 to be aspirated (the sample to be aspirated in the sample container 40 can be a first type of sample or a second type of sample). The unloading position 208 is the position where the sample rack 30 unloads the sample container 40 , that is, the unloading position 208 is used to carry the sample rack 30 for the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 after the sample aspiration to the sample seat 20 .

[0124] As an implementation, the loading position 207 and the unloading position 208 are at the same position, which is conducive to reducing the number of working positions of the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 and the sample container scheduling mechanism 220. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative implementation, the loading position 207 and the unloading position 208 can also be two different positions.

[0125] As an implementation method, the loading position 201, the unloading position 206, the loading position 207, and the unloading position 208 are located on the same straight track, so that the scheduling movement of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 between the loading position 201, the unloading position 206, the loading position 207, and the unloading position 208 is a straight line movement, which is conducive to simplifying the movement structure of the sample container scheduling mechanism 220. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative implementation method, the position distribution of the loading position 201, the unloading position 206, the loading position 207, and the unloading position 208 is not limited to this, for example, they can also be distributed on two straight tracks; or, they can also be distributed on the same arc track.

[0126] As an embodiment, the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 includes a clamping part, a linear guide 221, a second power component and a third power component. The clamping part is used to clamp the sample container 40, the second power component is used to drive the clamping part and the third power component to move linearly along the linear guide 221, and the third power component is used to drive the clamping part to move up and down. The shelf position 201 and the loading position 207 are located on the same linear trajectory and are located directly below the linear guide 221.

[0127] As an implementation mode, the upper shelf position 201, the lower shelf position 206, the loading position 207, and the unloading position 208 are located on the same linear track and are located directly below the linear guide rail 221. The linear guide rail 221 is used to guide the horizontal linear movement of the clamping part, the second power component is used to provide a driving force for the horizontal linear movement of the clamping part along the linear guide rail 221, and the third power component is used to provide a driving force for the lifting movement of the clamping part in the vertical direction. In this implementation mode, since the movement of the clamping part in the horizontal plane is on a straight line, a straight line guide rail 221 is used to guide the clamping part to move above the upper shelf position 201, the lower shelf position 206, the loading position 207, and the unloading position 208, so as to meet the horizontal movement requirements of the clamping part, and the structure is simple.

[0128] As an embodiment, the sample seat transfer component 212 also includes a sample seat cache channel 2123, the sample seat cache channel 2123 has an empty seat cache area 2124, the empty seat cache area 2124 has a sample seat cache entrance 2125 and a sample seat cache exit 2126, the empty seat cache area 2124 is used to cache the empty sample seats 20, the sample seat cache entrance 2125 is used to supply the empty sample seats 20 from the turntable 2121 to the empty seat cache area 2124, and the sample seat cache exit 2126 is used to supply the empty sample seats 20 from the empty seat cache area 2124 to the turntable 2121. The turntable 2121 is used to adjust the conveying path of the sample holder 20 on the sample holder cache channel 2123. The first power component is also used to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to rotate to the second introduction position 204 and the second export position 205 respectively. The second introduction position 204 is a position for the empty sample holder 20 conveyed from the sample holder cache outlet 2126 to enter the turntable 2121, and the second export position 205 is a position for the empty sample holder 20 conveyed by the turntable 2121 to be guided to the sample holder cache entrance 2125. The empty holder cache area 2124 is used to cache a certain amount of empty sample holders 20 to meet the loading requirements of transferring the sample container 40 from the sample rack 30 to the sample holder 20 after the sample aspiration is completed. In this embodiment, the turntable 2121 is used to achieve the scheduling requirements of the sample holder 20 at the six non-straight working positions of the upper shelf position 201, the lower shelf position 206, the first introduction position 202, the first export position 203, the second introduction position 204 and the second export position 205, which have the beneficial effects of simple and compact structure and easy control. Of course, in specific applications, other mechanisms can also be used to achieve the scheduling of the sample holder 20 between the above-mentioned different working positions, such as by track bending and conveying.

[0129] As an embodiment, when the positioning portion 2122 rotates to the second introduction position 204, the opening of the opening slot faces the sample holder cache outlet 2126. When the positioning portion 2122 rotates to the second export position 205, the opening of the opening slot faces the sample holder cache inlet 2125.

[0130] As an embodiment, the turntable 2121 is rotatably disposed on the sample holder cache channel 2123, and the driving force for the sample holder 20 to enter and leave the turntable 2121 is provided by the sample holder cache channel 2123. Specifically, when the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 rotates to the first introduction position 202, the sample holder 20 transported from the sample holder input channel 211 to the sample holder cache channel 2123 can be transported to the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 that is stuck in the first introduction position 202 under the transport driving force of the sample holder cache channel 2123, and then the rotation of the turntable 2121 can drive the sample holder 20 to rotate to the upper shelf position 201. When the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 drives the sample holder 20 to rotate to the upper shelf position 201 or the lower shelf position 206, the limiting function of the positioning portion 2122 can prevent the sample holder 20 from moving with the sample holder cache channel 2123. When the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 drives the sample holder 20 loaded with the first type of sample to rotate from the loading position 201 to the first output position 203, the sample holder 20 of the first type of sample loaded on the turntable 2121 can be separated from the turntable 2121 under the conveying driving force of the sample holder buffer channel 2123, and transported to the sample holder output channel 213 by the sample holder buffer channel 2123. When the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 drives the empty sample holder 20 to rotate from the loading position 201 to the second output position 205, the empty sample holder 20 on the turntable 2121 can be separated from the turntable 2121 under the conveying driving force of the sample holder buffer channel 2123, and transported to the empty holder buffer area 2124 by the sample holder buffer channel 2123. When the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 rotates to the second introduction position 204, the empty sample holders 20 in the empty holder buffer area 2124 can be transported to the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 that is stuck in the second introduction position 204 under the transport driving force of the sample holder buffer channel 2123, and then the rotation of the turntable 2121 can drive the sample holders 20 to rotate to the lower shelf position 206. When the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 drives the sample holders 20 loaded with the sample containers 40 that have completed the sample suction to rotate from the lower shelf position 206 to the first output position 203, the sample holders 20 loaded with the sample containers 40 that have completed the sample suction on the turntable 2121 can be detached from the turntable 2121 under the transport driving force of the sample holder buffer channel 2123, and transported to the sample holder output channel 213 by the sample holder buffer channel 2123.

[0131] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is further configured to: after controlling the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to schedule the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 to the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230, so that the sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201 forms an empty sample seat 20, control the first power component to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to drive the empty sample seat 20 to rotate from the shelf position 201 to the second export position 205, so that the empty sample seat 20 in the turntable 2121 enters the empty seat cache area 2124 from the sample seat cache entrance 2125; and control the sample container scheduling mechanism 2 Before transferring the sample container 40 that has completed the sample aspiration and is located on the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 from the sample rack 30 provided by the sample rack scheduling mechanism 230 to the empty sample seat 20 located at the lower rack position 206, the first power component is controlled to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to rotate to the second introduction position 204, so that the empty sample seat 20 located in the empty seat buffer area 2124 enters the turntable 2121 through the sample seat buffer outlet 2126, and the first power component is controlled to drive the positioning portion 2122 of the turntable 2121 to drive the empty sample seat 20 to rotate from the second introduction position 204 to the lower rack position 206. In this embodiment, after the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 schedules the sample container 40 on the sample seat 20 to the sample rack 30, the formed empty sample seat 20 is transported to the empty seat buffer area 2124 for buffering. The empty sample seat 20 buffered in the empty seat buffer area 2124 can provide an empty sample seat 20 when the sample container 40 after the sample suction is completed is scheduled from the sample rack 30 to the sample seat 20, so as to meet the demand that the sample container 40 after the sample suction is completed is returned from the sample analysis device 300 to the sample container transfer device 200 and the conveying track assembly 100 for recycling. Of course, in a specific application, as an alternative embodiment, if the sample container 40 after the sample suction in the sample analysis device 300 does not need to be returned to the conveying track assembly 100 for recycling, the empty seat buffer area 2124 may not be set in the sample container transfer device 200.

Of course, in specific applications, the empty sample seat 20 in the empty seat cache area 2124 can also be replenished by other means, for example, by a separate channel.

[0138] As an embodiment, the control device 500 is also configured to: before controlling the sample container scheduling mechanism 220 to transfer the sample container 40 on the sample rack 30 after the sample aspiration is completed to the empty sample seat 20 at the shelf position 201, if the number of empty sample seats 20 in the empty seat buffer area 2124 is less than or equal to a preset value, control the conveying track to convey the empty sample seat 20 to the sample seat scheduling mechanism 210.
