Description

Technical Field

[0002] Automated sample analysis devices are widely used in inspection departments. In order to ensure the accuracy of sample test results, more and more departments have established a perfect quality management system. For example, quality control operations of analysis devices are carried out through quality control samples, and calibration operations of analysis devices are carried out through calibration samples, etc. Taking quality control as an example, currently in most departments, inspection personnel reconstitute dry powder quality control substances into liquid quality control samples and then input them into the analysis device. The analysis device stores the liquid quality control samples in a refrigerator and retrieves the quality control samples for quality control operations when needed. However, currently, the refrigerators of analysis devices usually only support refrigerated storage at 2°C to 8°C, and the quality control samples prepared by reconstituting dry powder have poor stability, and refrigerated storage easily causes the quality control samples to fail, affecting quality control operations.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

Understandings such as "greater than", "less than", "exceeding", etc. do not include the recited number, and understandings such as "above", "below", "within", etc. include the recited number. If there is a description of "first" and "second", it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.

Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0081] In the description of the present invention, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "schematic embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic descriptions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0082] The present invention provides a sample analysis system capable of stably storing quality control products or calibration products. For the convenience of understanding, first, a sample analysis single machine is taken as an example to introduce the sample analysis system as a whole. Refer to Figure 1 , which shows a typical sample analysis single machine. The arc-shaped dotted line in the figure represents the rotation trajectory of the rotating part. The sample analysis system of the embodiment of the present invention includes a sample unit 10, a sample dispensing unit 20, a reagent unit 30, a reaction unit 50, and a detection unit 60. The following will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0083] The sample unit 10 is used to hold the sample to be sampled. For example, the sample unit 10 can be implemented through a sample delivery module (SDM) and a front-end track. In some other embodiments, it can also be a rotary sample tray, on which at least one sample position is provided. The sample position is used to place a first sample container such as a sample tube. By rotating the sample tray, the sample can be scheduled to a corresponding position, such as the position for the sample dispensing unit 20 to aspirate the sample.

[0084] The sample dispensing unit 20 includes a sample needle 21 and a first moving member 22. The first moving member 22 can drive the sample needle 21 to move so as to aspirate the sample and discharge it into the first reaction container located at the reaction position. In some embodiments, the number of sample needles 21 can be one or more. In some embodiments, when there are multiple sample needles 21, the first moving member 22 can drive these sample needles 21 to move independently. The first moving member 22 can be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional driving mechanism, which can be designed according to specific requirements. For the sample needle 21, a typical sequence of actions is as follows: the sample needle 21 moves to, for example, the sample position to aspirate the sample, then moves to, for example, the reaction position to discharge the aspirated sample into the first reaction container, and then moves to a predetermined position to be cleaned; of course, in some examples, the outer wall of the sample needle 21 can also be cleaned once after the sample needle 21 aspirates the sample and before discharging the sample.

[0085] The reagent unit 30 is used to hold the reagent. In one embodiment, the reagent unit 30 can be a reagent tray, which is arranged in a disc-shaped structure and has multiple positions for holding the first reagent containers. The reagent unit 30 can rotate and drive the first reagent containers it holds to rotate, so as to rotate the first reagent containers to a specific position, such as the position for the reagent dispensing unit 40 to aspirate the reagent. The number of reagent units 30 can be one or more.

[0086] The reagent dispensing unit 40 is used to aspirate the reagent and discharge it into the first reaction container to which the reagent is to be added. In one embodiment, the reagent dispensing unit 40 can include a reagent needle. The reagent needle performs two-dimensional or three-dimensional movement in space through a two-dimensional or three-dimensional driving mechanism, so that the reagent needle can move to aspirate the reagent held by the reagent unit 30, and move to the first reaction container to which the reagent is to be added and discharge the reagent into the reaction container.

[0087] The reaction unit 50 is used to carry the first reaction container and is provided with at least one reaction position. The reaction position is used to place the first reaction container to incubate the reaction liquid in the first reaction container. The reaction liquid is prepared by at least a sample and a reagent. In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction unit 50 may be a rotary reaction disk. A plurality of reaction positions are provided on the reaction disk. Specifically, the reaction disk can rotate and drive the first reaction container in its reaction position to rotate, which is used to schedule the first reaction container in the reaction disk and incubate the reaction liquid in the first reaction container.

[0088] The detection unit 60 includes a detection module. The detection module is used to perform photometric measurement on the incubated reaction liquid to obtain the reaction data of the sample. For example, the detection module detects the luminescence intensity of the reaction liquid to be measured, and calculates the concentration of the component to be measured in the sample through a calibration curve, etc. In one embodiment, the detection module is separately arranged outside the reaction unit 50.

[0089] The typical single sample analysis machine has been introduced above. The sample analysis system of the present invention can also be applied to a sample analysis pipeline, which will be introduced through other embodiments later.

[0090] To ensure the accuracy of the sample detection results, the sample analysis system needs to perform quality management through calibration products and / or quality control products. For example, as the sample analysis system is used and ages, the actual parameters of the detection module of the sample analysis system will drift, and these drifts will affect the analysis accuracy. Therefore, calibration products can be used to calibrate the parameters. The calibration products are standard samples with determined and known relevant parameters. After the detection module detects the calibration products, the actual detection results can be obtained. Based on the actual detection results of the calibration products and the corresponding standard parameters, the detection module can obtain a calibration curve, thereby performing equipment calibration. When the detection module is calibrated, the calibrated detection module can be used to analyze case samples. Also, for example, quality control products can be used to determine whether the detection module is in a normal working state. Similar quality control products are also standard samples with determined and known relevant parameters. When the detection module detects the quality control products, the actual detection results can be obtained. By comparing the actual detection results with the standard parameters, if the deviation of the actual detection results from the standard parameters is within the preset range, it is determined that the detection module is in a normal working state. If the deviation of the actual detection results from the standard parameters is outside the preset range, it is determined that the detection module is in an abnormal state.

[0091] As described above, at present, in some departments, the inspection personnel first reconstitute the dry powder substance to obtain a liquid quality control product or calibration product, and then input the liquid quality control product or calibration product into the sample analysis system. The sample analysis system stores the liquid quality control product or calibration product in the refrigerator, and when needed, the quality control product is retrieved for quality control operations. However, currently, the refrigerator in the sample analysis system is mainly used for refrigerated storage of, for example, case samples, with a storage temperature of 2°C to 8°C. The stability of the quality control product or calibration product prepared by dry powder reconstitution is poor, and refrigerated storage easily leads to the invalidation of the quality control product, affecting the quality control operation. Based on this, the present invention provides a sample analysis system that can store the quality control product and / or calibration product at a temperature lower than the refrigeration temperature. The following is a specific description in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0092] The sample analysis system in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a detection module, a scheduling module 400, and a controller. Among them, the detection module and the scheduling module 400 are both communicatively connected to the controller. The controller can control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the calibration product or quality control product, so as to transfer the calibration product and / or quality control product to different modules to perform different operations. It should be noted that, depending on the system, the scheduling module 400 has different compositions. For example, when the sample analysis system is Figure 1 the sample analysis single machine, the scheduling module 400 may include one or more manipulators within the single machine, or may include a combination of the track within the single machine and one or more manipulators; when the sample analysis system is Figure 2 the detection pipeline system shown, the scheduling module 400 may include one or more manipulators within the system, or may include a combination of the track module within the pipeline system and one or more manipulators 420 within the 410 system.

[0093] The controller can also control the detection module to perform detection operations on the calibration product or quality control product in the first container, so as to perform corresponding calibration or quality control operations. It should be noted that in addition to being able to detect calibration products and quality control products, the detection module can also detect case samples.

[0094] The sample analysis system further includes a first storage module 100, which is used to store containers. A first container contains a quality control product or a calibration product. In other words, the first storage module 100 can store the quality control product contained in the first container and / or the calibration product contained in the first container. In this embodiment, the storage temperature of the first storage module 100 is less than or equal to zero degree Celsius, that is, lower than the storage temperature of a common refrigerated storage module, so as to reduce the probability of the quality control product and the calibration product becoming invalid. For the convenience of description, the common low-temperature storage method is called refrigerated storage, and the storage method in this embodiment at a temperature lower than the common refrigerated temperature is named frozen storage (it should be noted that although it is called frozen storage, the calibration product and the quality control product stored in the first storage module 100 are not necessarily in a frozen state). In some embodiments, the first storage module 100 is used for frozen storage, and in some other embodiments, the first storage module 100 can be used for both refrigerated storage and frozen storage.

[0095] The storage temperature of the first storage module 100 is relatively low. It is difficult to directly detect the quality control product or the calibration product after it is removed from the first storage module 100. On the one hand, the quality control product or the calibration product may be in a solidified state and the liquid suction needle cannot suck the liquid. On the other hand, even if the quality control product or the calibration product is not in a solidified state, its temperature is relatively low, and direct detection will affect the detection result. Based on this, the sample analysis system further includes a heating zone. After the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product is removed from the first storage module 100, it will be first placed in the heating zone for heating to ensure the normal progress of liquid suction and to ensure the detection accuracy. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the quality control product and / or the calibration product can be naturally heated by ambient heat, and in some other embodiments, the quality control product and / or the calibration product can also be actively heated by a heat source. It should also be noted that in some embodiments, the quality control product and / or the calibration product can be directly placed in the heating zone for heating, and in some other embodiments, the sample analysis system includes a heating module 200, and the quality control product and / or the calibration product are placed in the heating module 200 for heating.

[0096] Combined with the above, a typical detection process in this embodiment is: the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product stored in the first storage module 100 to the heating zone to perform a heating operation on the quality control product or the calibration product in the first container, and then schedules the first container after the heating operation to the detection module to perform a detection operation on the quality control product or the calibration product in the first container.

[0097] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, the quality control product is obtained by reconstituting a dry powder quality control material with a reconstitution solution.

[0098] When the quality control product is a quality control product prepared by a dry powder quality control material and a reconstitution solution, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system includes a reconstitution module for preparing the quality control product. The reconstitution module is used to provide the reconstitution solution. For example, the reconstitution module includes a first container for storing the reconstitution solution, a syringe or a pump for extracting the reconstitution solution, and a liquid injection needle for outputting the reconstitution solution. The sample analysis system further includes a second storage module for placing a first container containing the dry powder quality control material. For example, the second storage module can be a refrigerated storage module.

[0099] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to supplement the quality control product, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the dry powder quality control material placed in the second storage module to the reconstitution module, and controls the reconstitution module to add the reconstitution solution into the first container to form the quality control product, and then controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the quality control product to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0100] Based on the first embodiment, the calibration product in some embodiments of the present invention is obtained by reconstituting a dry powder calibration material with a reconstitution solution.

[0101] When the calibration product is a calibration product prepared by a dry powder calibration material and a reconstitution solution, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system includes a reconstitution module for preparing the calibration product. The reconstitution module can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments. The sample analysis system further includes a second storage module for placing a first container containing the dry powder calibration material. The second storage module can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments.

[0102] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to supplement the calibration product, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the calibration quality control material placed in the second storage module to the reconstitution module, and controls the reconstitution module to add the reconstitution solution into the first container to form the calibration product, and then controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the calibration product to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0103] In the foregoing embodiments, the amount of the dry powder quality control material or the dry powder calibration material stored in the first container is the amount corresponding to a single tube, so that the reconstitution solution can be directly added into the first container. In some other embodiments, a large amount of the quality control product or the calibration product can be first formed in other first containers and then divided into different first containers. Specifically, the sample analysis system in this embodiment further includes a second container, a reconstitution module and a pipetting module. The second storage module is used to store the second container containing the dry powder quality control material or the dry powder calibration material. The amount of the dry powder quality control material or the dry powder calibration material contained in the second container is greater than the amount of the dry powder quality control material or the dry powder calibration material contained in the first container. The reconstitution module is used to provide the reconstitution solution. The reconstitution module can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments.

[0104] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to supplement the quality control product or calibration product, the controller is further configured to control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the second container containing the dry powder quality control material or dry powder calibration material stored in the second storage module to the reconstitution module, and control the reconstitution module to add the reconstitution solution to the second container to form a quality control product or a calibration product. After preparing a large amount of the quality control product or calibration product, the controller is further configured to control the pipetting module to transfer the quality control product or calibration product in the second container to at least two first containers, and schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0105] In this embodiment, the sample analysis system may further be provided with a buffer area or a buffer module for storing the empty first containers. When aliquoting is required, the scheduling module can schedule the empty first containers from the buffer area or the buffer module to the reconstitution module, and then transfer the quality control product or calibration product in the second container to the first container through the pipetting module, or the pipetting module directly transfers the quality control product or calibration product in the second container to the first container in the buffer area or the buffer module.

[0106] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the reconstitution module for adding the reconstitution solution and the pipetting module for transferring the quality control product or calibration product may be two independent modules or the same module.

[0107] It should also be noted that, in the above embodiment, the controller can determine by itself whether it is necessary to supplement the quality control product and / or calibration product, reducing the manual participation link and being able to reduce the workload of the user. In addition, compared with liquid calibration products and quality control products, dry powder calibration materials and quality control calibration materials have higher stability, can be stored for a longer time, and have relatively lower requirements for storage conditions. For example, they can be stored refrigerated.

[0108] It should also be noted that, in the above embodiment, the reconstitution module and the second storage module may be arranged adjacent to each other to reduce the time for scheduling the first container containing the dry powder quality control material or dry powder calibration material to the reconstitution module. The reconstitution module may be arranged adjacent to the first storage module 100 to reduce the time for scheduling the quality control product or calibration product to the first storage module 100.

[0109] When the sample analysis system includes a second storage module, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second storage module and the first storage module 100 are the same storage module. In other words, the dry powder quality control material and the quality control product are placed in the same storage module, and / or the dry powder calibration material and the calibration product are placed in the same storage module, thereby being able to reduce the number of storage modules.

[0110] In some other embodiments of the present invention when the sample analysis system includes a second storage module, the second storage module is a storage module independent of the first storage module 100, so that the quality control substances and quality control products can be stored separately according to different storage conditions of the quality control substances and quality control products, or the calibration substances and calibration products can be stored separately according to different storage conditions of the calibration substances and calibration products.

[0111] When the second storage module is a storage module independent of the first storage module 100, in some embodiments of the present invention, the storage temperature of the second storage module is higher than that of the first storage module 100. For example, the storage temperature of the second storage module is 2°C to 8°C. In this way, the quality control substances and / or calibration substances are refrigerated and stored in the second storage module, and the quality control products and / or calibration products are frozen and stored in the first storage module 100.

[0112] On the basis of the first embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the sample analysis system in the embodiments of the present invention further includes a mixing module 500. The mixing module 500 is used to perform the mixing operation of the quality control products and / or calibration products to avoid stratification of the quality control products or calibration products in the first container, which affects the detection effect. Specifically, the mixing module 500 drives the first container to move through vibration, rotation and other means to achieve mixing.

[0113] In this embodiment, the aforementioned "dispatching the first container after performing the temperature increase operation to the detection module to perform the detection operation" specifically means that the controller controls the dispatching module 400 to dispatch the first container after performing the temperature increase operation to the mixing module 500 to perform the mixing operation, and dispatch the first container after performing the mixing operation to the detection module to perform the detection operation.

[0114] It should be noted that the mixing module 500 can be arranged adjacent to the temperature increase area to reduce the time for transferring the first container from the temperature increase area to the mixing module 500.

[0115] On the basis of the first embodiment, the sample analysis system in some embodiments of the present invention further includes a sample output module, and the sample output module is at least used to output the first container. In this embodiment, when the storage time of the quality control product or calibration product in the first container stored in the first storage module 100 is greater than or equal to the preset time, the control dispatching module 400 dispatches the first container from the first storage module 100 to the sample output module. Both the quality control product and the calibration product have a certain shelf life, and the probability of failure will increase after exceeding this shelf life. In this embodiment, when the controller determines that the quality control product and / or calibration product has exceeded the shelf life, it will control the dispatching module 400 to dispatch the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product to the sample output module for unloading.

[0116] It should be noted that the "storage time of the quality control product or calibration product in the first container stored in the first storage module 100" in this embodiment can be understood in the following two ways: One is the first duration from the time when the quality control product or calibration product is first placed in the first storage module 100 to the time of judgment. The other is the total duration (for the convenience of description, called the second duration) of the quality control product or calibration product in the first storage module 100 from the time when the quality control product or calibration product is first placed in the first storage module 100 to the time of judgment. It can be understood that if the quality control product or calibration product has never left the first storage module 100 for testing, the first duration is equal to the second duration. If the quality control product or calibration product has been tested at least once, the first duration is greater than the second duration.

[0117] It should also be noted that the "storage time is greater than or equal to the preset time" in this embodiment has two judgment methods: One is to directly compare the aforementioned first duration or second duration with the preset duration. If the first duration or second duration is less than the preset duration, it is judged that the quality control product and / or calibration product has not exceeded the shelf life. If the first duration or second duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, it is judged that the quality control product and / or calibration product has exceeded the shelf life. The other is to obtain the expiration time node of the quality control product or calibration product according to the time node when the quality control product or calibration product is first placed in the first storage module 100 and the corresponding shelf life, and then compare the judgment time node at the time of judgment with the expiration time node. If the judgment time node is earlier than the expiration time node, it is judged that the quality control product and / or calibration product has not exceeded the shelf life. If the judgment time node is equal to or later than the expiration time node, it is judged that the quality control product and / or calibration product has exceeded the shelf life.

[0118] In addition, it is also possible to judge whether to unload the quality control product or calibration product based on the remaining amount of the quality control product or calibration product. Specifically, when the remaining amount of the quality control product or calibration product in the first container stored in the first storage module 100 is greater than or equal to the preset remaining amount, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container from the first storage module 100 to the sample output module. Both the quality control product and the calibration product require a certain amount to support testing. If the remaining amount is not enough for the next test after at least one test consumption of the quality control product or calibration product, the control scheduling module 400 will schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product to the sample output module for unloading.

[0119] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system further includes a sample input module, which is at least used to input a first container containing a quality control product or a calibration product. In this embodiment, the controller is also configured to control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product in the sample input module to the first storage module 100 for storage. In other words, in addition to preparing the quality control product and / or the calibration product through the reconstitution module in the aforementioned embodiment, the user can also prepare the quality control product and / or the calibration product first, and then input the quality control product and / or the calibration product into the sample input module, and the sample analysis system then schedules the quality control product and / or the calibration product to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0120] It should be noted that the sample input module mentioned in the above embodiment may have only input function or both input and output functions. Similarly, the sample output module mentioned in the above embodiment may have only output function or both input and output functions.

[0121] On the basis of the first embodiment, the sample analysis system in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a cover opening module and a cover closing module. The cover opening module is used to perform a cover opening operation on the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product. For example, when the tube body of the first container is fixed, the cover opening module can press against the lower edge of the first container cover and move upward to achieve the cover opening. The cover closing module is used to perform a cover closing operation on the first container with the cover opened. For example, the cover closing module can push the first container cover to rotate downward to achieve the cover closing.

[0122] In this embodiment, the aforementioned "scheduling the first container after performing the heating operation to the detection module to perform the detection operation" specifically means: the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container after performing the heating operation to the opening cover module to perform the opening cover operation on the first container, and schedules the first container after performing the opening cover operation to the detection module to perform the detection operation, thereby avoiding the first container cover from interfering with the aspiration needle.

[0123] In this embodiment, after the detection module performs the detection operation on the first container, the controller can also control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the closing module to perform the closing operation on the first container, and schedule the first container after the closing operation to the first storage module 100 for storage. In this way, the sealing of the first container can be achieved, avoiding contamination of quality control products or calibration products when the first container is stored in the first storage module 100.

[0124] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the lid-opening module can be arranged adjacent to the heating zone to reduce the time for transferring the quality control product and the calibration product from the heating zone to the lid-opening module. In other embodiments, the lid-closing module can be arranged adjacent to the first storage module 100 to reduce the time for transferring the quality control product and the calibration product from the lid-closing module to the first storage module 100.

[0125] When the sample analysis system further includes a lid-opening module and a lid-closing module, in some embodiments of the present invention, the quality control product and / or calibration product that have completed the detection are judged, and when they meet certain conditions, the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product is scheduled to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0126] It can be understood that the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product will be opened before the detection. Opening the lid also means that the quality control product or the calibration product has been heated up and has left the frozen storage environment, so there is a risk of failure. It can be understood that the longer the time away from frozen storage, the greater the probability of failure. Based on this, the number of lid openings is used as the basis for judging whether the quality control product or the calibration product has failed in this embodiment. The aforementioned "after the detection module performs the detection operation on the first container, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container to the lid-closing module to perform a lid-closing operation on the first container" specifically means: after the detection module performs the detection operation on the quality control product or the calibration product in the first container, and the number of lid openings of the first container where the quality control product or the calibration product that has completed the detection operation is less than or equal to the preset number of times, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container to the lid-closing module to perform a lid-closing operation on the first container. It should be noted that the preset number of times can be 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc., and the preset number of times can be set by the user.

[0127] In other embodiments, the single duration from when the quality control product or the calibration product leaves the first storage module 100 to when the detection module completes the liquid suction is defined as T1. If the quality control product or the calibration product repeats the steps of being removed from the first storage module 100 and scheduled to the detection module for detection multiple times, the sum of the single durations T1 is the total duration T2.

[0128] As mentioned above, the longer the time away from frozen storage, the greater the probability of failure. Based on this, the total duration T2 is used as the basis for judging whether the quality control product or the calibration product has failed in this embodiment. The aforementioned "after the detection module performs the detection operation on the first container, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container to the lid-closing module to perform a lid-closing operation on the first container" specifically means: after the detection module performs the detection operation on the quality control product or the calibration product in the first container, and the total duration T2 of the quality control product or the calibration product that has completed the detection operation is less than or equal to the preset duration, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container to the lid-closing module to perform a lid-closing operation on the first container.

[0129] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the controller can judge between the total duration T2 and the preset duration when the liquid suction is completed.

[0130] When the sample analysis system further includes an open lid module and a closed lid module, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system further includes a sample output module, and the sample output module is at least used to output the first container to the user. In this embodiment, the controller will also judge the quality control product and / or calibration product after the detection is completed. When it does not meet certain conditions, the controller will control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product to the sample output module for output.

[0131] Based on this, when the controller uses the number of times the quality control product or calibration product is opened as the basis for judging whether the quality control product or calibration product has failed, specifically, after the detection module performs a detection operation on the quality control product or calibration product in the first container, and the number of times the first container where the currently detected quality control product or calibration product is located is greater than the preset number of times, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the first container to the sample output module. As mentioned above, when the number of times the lid is opened is greater than the preset number of times, it means that the quality control product or calibration product has been out of frozen storage for too long, and the risk of failure is relatively high and it is no longer suitable for the next detection. Therefore, the controller will control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the sample output module for unloading.

[0132] In other embodiments, the controller uses the total duration T2 of the quality control product or calibration product as the basis for judging whether the quality control product or calibration product has failed. Specifically, after the detection module performs a detection operation on the quality control product or calibration product in the first container, and the total duration T2 of the currently detected quality control product or calibration product is greater than the preset duration, the control scheduling module 400 schedules the quality control product or calibration product to the sample output module for unloading. As mentioned above, when the total duration T2 is greater than the preset duration, it means that the quality control product or calibration product has been out of frozen storage for too long, and the risk of failure is relatively high and it is no longer suitable for the next detection. Therefore, the controller will control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the quality control product and / or calibration product to the sample output module for unloading.

[0133] Based on the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes the aforementioned lid-opening module, lid-closing module, and mixing module 500. Among them, the lid-opening module, lid-closing module, mixing module 500, and the heating zone can be centrally arranged to form a processing area. The quality control product, calibration product, and the first container can perform corresponding heating operations, mixing operations, lid-opening operations, and lid-closing operations in the processing area. For example, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product stored in the first storage module 100 to the heating zone to perform the heating operation. After the heating operation, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the mixing module 500 to perform the mixing operation. After the mixing operation, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the lid-opening module to perform the lid-opening operation. After the lid-opening operation, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the detection module to perform the detection operation. After the detection operation, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the lid-closing module to perform the lid-closing operation. After the lid-closing operation, the controller controls the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0134] Based on the first embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system includes at least two first storage modules 100, and the first storage module 100 can perform a defrosting operation to remove the frost generated due to frozen storage, ensuring the refrigeration effect. The defrosting operation can specifically be a heating operation. For example, the first storage module 100 includes a thermoelectric refrigeration device, and by changing the direction of the current, the refrigeration mode can be adjusted to the heating mode.

[0135] In this embodiment, when the target storage module storing the quality control product and / or calibration product among at least two first storage modules 100 needs to perform a defrosting operation, the controller is further configured to control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product in the target storage module to the first storage module 100 other than the target storage module among at least two first storage modules 100, and then control the target storage module to perform the defrosting operation, so as to avoid affecting the preservation of the quality control product and / or calibration product due to heating during the defrosting operation.

[0136] Based on the first embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the sample analysis system further includes a sample input module and a third storage module 300. The sample input module is at least used to input the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product. The storage temperature of the third storage module 300 is higher than the storage temperature of the first storage module 100, such as 2°C to 8°C suitable for refrigerated storage.

[0137] In this embodiment, the controller is further configured to obtain sample information of the quality control product and / or calibration product, determine a target storage module in the first storage module 100 and the third storage module 300 based on the sample information, and then control the scheduling module 400 to select and schedule the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product in the sample input module to the target storage module. This embodiment has a more flexible scheduling strategy, which can select a storage method according to the sample information of the quality control product and / or calibration product. For example, when the stability of the quality control product or calibration product is poor, the quality control product or calibration product is sent to the first storage module 100 with a lower temperature for storage; when the stability of the quality control product or calibration product is good, the quality control product or calibration product is sent to the third storage module 300 with a higher temperature for storage. Among them, the sample information can be stored in the barcode of the first container, and the controller obtains the sample information through a barcode scanning device or a vision device.

[0138] It should be noted that the sample information mentioned in this embodiment can be category information, such as a quality control product or a calibration product, or source information, such as input from a user or preparation by a reconstitution device, or storage method information, such as the need for refrigerated storage or frozen storage, or storage temperature information, such as the need to be stored in the range of 2°C to 8°C, or in the range equal to or lower than 0°C.

[0139] It should also be noted that in addition to storing quality control products and / or calibration products with high stability, when the sample analysis system further has a reconstitution module, the third storage module 300 can also be used to store dry powder quality control substances and / or dry powder calibration substances, that is, the third storage module 300 is the same module as the aforementioned second storage module. In addition, the third storage module 300 can also be used to store case samples.

[0140] Based on the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, the sample analysis system further includes a sample input module, and the sample input module is at least used to input the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product. In this embodiment, the first storage module 100 is integrally provided in the sample input module. For example, when the sample analysis system is a sample analysis pipeline, the sample input module includes a housing and a drawer provided inside the housing. The drawer can move relative to the housing to extend out or retract into the housing. The housing is used to place sample carrier components such as sample trays. The sample carrier component has a plurality of placement holes for placing the first container. Then, the first storage module 100 can be integrally provided in the housing of the sample input module. In this way, the user can input the prepared calibration product or quality control product to the sample input module, and then the scheduling module 400 transfers the input calibration product or quality control product to the first storage module 100 in the sample input module.

[0141] In some other embodiments, the sample analysis system in some embodiments of the present invention further includes a sample input module, and the sample input module is at least used to input a first container containing a quality control product or a calibration product. In this embodiment, the heating module 200 is integrally arranged in the sample input module. For example, the sample input module includes the aforementioned housing and a drawer arranged inside the housing, and the heating module 200 is integrally arranged in the housing of the sample input module.

[0142] In some other embodiments, both the first storage module 100 and the heating module 200 are integrally arranged in the sample input module, for example, both are integrally arranged in the housing of the sample input module. In this way, the user can input the prepared calibration product or quality control product into the sample input module, and then the scheduling module 400 transfers the input calibration product or quality control product to the first storage module 100 in the sample input module; when calibration or quality control operations are required, the scheduling module 400 transfers the calibration product or quality control product from the first storage module 100 to the heating module 200 in the sample input module to perform the heating operation, which can shorten the scheduling distance of the calibration product or quality control product.

[0143] Based on the first embodiment, the sample analysis system in some embodiments of the present invention further includes a third storage module 300, and the storage temperature of the third storage module 300 is higher than that of the first storage module. For example, the storage temperature of the third storage module 300 is 2°C to 8°C suitable for refrigerated storage. In this embodiment, the first storage module 100 and the third storage module 300 are integrally arranged, for example, the two are integrated into a storage unit, so that the storage unit has at least two chambers.

[0144] Based on the first embodiment, the sample analysis system in the embodiments of the present invention is an automatic detection pipeline. Refer to Figure 2 Or Figure 3 , the sample analysis system further includes a sample input module, and the sample input module is at least used for the user to input a first container. The scheduling module 400 includes an orbital module 410, and the orbital module 410 is connected to the sample input module, the first storage module 100, the heating zone and the detection module. In some embodiments, the orbital module 410 includes a main track and at least one front track connected to the main track. The main track and the front track have at least two tracks with opposite transportation directions. The tracks can transport single tube seats, and the single tube seats are used to carry a single first container. The sample input module is connected to the main track, and the first storage module 100, the heating zone and the detection module, etc. are connected to the same or different front tracks.

[0145] The orbital module 410 transports a first container containing a quality control product or a calibration product between the sample input module, the first storage module 100, the heating zone, and the detection module. For example, the orbital module 410 transports the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product stored in the first storage module 100 to the heating zone for heating operation, transports the first container to the detection module for detection operation after the heating operation, and transports the first container to the first storage module 100 for storage again after the detection operation. In addition, the orbital module 410 can also transport the first container containing the quality control product or the calibration product in the sample input module to the first storage module 100 for storage.

[0146] Based on the first embodiment, in the embodiment of the present invention, the storage temperature of the first storage module is -20°C to -10°C, so as to be able to store the quality control product and the calibration product more stably.

[0147] Based on the first embodiment, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the first storage module 100 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a storage container 110, a first fan 120, and a carrier 130 for carrying the first container 70. The storage container 110 is used to provide a refrigeration environment below zero degrees, and can freeze and store the quality control product / calibration product that needs to be frozen. The carrier 130 and the first fan 120 are both arranged in the storage container 110.

[0148] The storage container 110 includes a bin body 111 and a cover body 112. The bin body 111 has an opening 1111, and the cover body 112 is used to open or close the opening 1111. When the cover body 112 closes the opening 1111, the bin body 111 has a first accommodation cavity. It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the cover body 112 is opened, the cover body 112 can be completely removed from the bin body 111, and there is no connection relationship between the two. In other embodiments, the cover body 112 can also always be connected to the bin body 111, and the two will not be completely separated. The cover body 112 is opened or closed under an external force, so as to open or close the opening 1111. Among them, the external force can be, for example, the force applied by a driving mechanism, or the force applied by a human body, etc.

[0149] The carrier 130 is located in the first accommodation cavity and has a storage position 3a for storing the first container 70. The specific number of the storage positions 3a is not limited, and for example, there can be one or more. Specifically, the first container 70 is placed in the storage position 3a, and the carrier 130 is used to carry the first container 70 and limit the first container 70, so that the placement of the first container 70 is more stable and reliable.

[0150] Based on the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, a positioning structure for positioning the first container within the first storage module 100 is provided. Specifically, the positioning structure includes a first positioning structure provided on the first container 70. In addition, the first storage module 100 includes a receiving cavity and a carrier 130. The carrier 130 is provided with a receiving groove 1321 for placing the first container 70. The positioning structure further includes a second positioning structure provided on the receiving groove 1321. When the first container 70 is placed in the receiving groove 1321, the positioning of the first container 70 can be achieved through the cooperation of the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.

[0151] In some specific embodiments, the positioning of the first container 70 mentioned above refers to keeping the first container 70 in a vertically upward posture. At this time, the first positioning structure includes the outer peripheral wall of the first container 70, and the second positioning structure includes the groove wall of the receiving groove 1321.

[0152] In other specific embodiments, the positioning of the first container 70 mentioned above refers to placing the first container 70 in the first storage module 100 in a specific orientation so that the manipulator can grasp the first container. At this time, the first positioning structure includes a protruding portion protruding from the outer wall of the first container 70, such as a rib provided on the outer wall of the first container 70. The second positioning structure includes a positioning groove provided on the carrier 130. By inserting the protruding portion into the positioning groove, the first container 70 can be kept in a specific orientation. In some embodiments, the number of the protruding portion and the positioning groove is both 1. In other embodiments, the number of the protruding portion and the positioning groove is both multiple, such as 3. The multiple protruding portions are distributed along the circumferential direction of the first container 70, and the multiple positioning grooves are distributed along the circumferential direction of the receiving groove 1321. Among them, the shape of at least one of the multiple protruding portions is different from that of other protruding portions, or the distance between at least one group of adjacent protruding portions among the multiple protruding portions is different from the distance between other adjacent protruding portions, so as to realize the directional placement of the first container 70.

[0153] Specifically, referring to Figures 5 to 7 , the carrier 130 includes a support base 131 and a limiting frame 132. The limiting frame 132 is located above the support base 131. The limiting frame 132 has at least one receiving groove 1321 for receiving the first container 70, and the support base 131 is used to support the bottom of the first container 70.

[0154] Specifically, the first container 70 can pass through the accommodation groove 1321 of the position-limiting frame 132 and be supported on the support base 131. The provision of the position-limiting frame 132 enables the first container 70 to be placed more stably when stored in the storage container 110, reducing the possibility of accidental situations such as the first container 70 tipping over and causing leakage of the quality control products / calibration products stored in the first container 70, and improving the reliability of the first storage module 100. Among them, the first positioning structure is the first positioning surface on the outer periphery of the first container body of the first container 70, and the second positioning structure is the second positioning surface on the groove wall of the accommodation groove 1321. After the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface are attached, the first container 70 can be placed in a specific orientation and the rotation of the first container 70 can be restricted.

[0155] When it is necessary to take out the first container 70 stored in the storage container 110, the cover 112 needs to be opened first, and then the first container 70 stored in the bin 111 is taken out and placed at a specified position. When the storage container 110 is in a frozen state, the bin 111 always maintains a low-temperature environment, and the items stored in the bin 111 will always be in a low-temperature state. The ambient temperature and humidity outside are higher than the ambient temperature and humidity inside the bin 111. Therefore, when the cover 112 is in an open state, the low-temperature and dry environment inside the bin 111 will have air convection exchange with the high-temperature and high-humidity environment outside. At this time, the high-temperature and high-humidity air outside will enter the inside of the bin 111 and frost will occur when it encounters cold inside the bin 111. If it cannot be processed in time, frost may form on the surface of the first container 70, the carrier 130, or at the junction between the first container 70 and the carrier 130, etc. On the one hand, if frost forms on the surface of the first container 70, the heat transfer efficiency will deteriorate, resulting in the temperature of the stored first container 70 not being able to be maintained at the target temperature, which may affect the stability and shelf life of the quality control products / calibration products stored in the first container 70. On the other hand, if frost forms at positions such as the junction between the first container 70 and the carrier 130, the first container 70 will be frozen on the carrier 130, making it impossible to smoothly take out the first container 70 when it is necessary to take out the first container 70, thus affecting the subsequent test process.

[0156] Based on this, the first storage module in the embodiment of the present invention also has a defrosting function. Refer to Figures 4 to 6 , and Figure 8 , the first storage module 100 in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a first fan 120 and a housing cover 140.

[0157] The housing 140 has an installation space 141, an air inlet duct 142 and an air outlet duct 143. The first blower 120 is accommodated in the installation space 141. The installation space 141 intakes air through the air inlet duct 142 and discharges air through the air outlet duct 143. The air outlet duct 143 is used to direct the air flow generated by the first blower 120 to the storage position 3a. The directions of the air inlet duct 142 and the air outlet duct 143 are different.

[0158] After the first blower 120 is started, the first blower 120 drives the air flow in the storage container 110. The housing 140 can play a certain guiding role in the gas flow in the bin body 111. The air outlet duct 143 directs the air flow generated by the first blower 120 to the storage position 3a. The air flow passes through the first container 70 on the storage position 3a. In this way, the water vapor that has not completely condensed can be dispersed, so that the water vapor that has not completely condensed can be driven by the air flow to transfer to other positions outside the storage position 3a, such as transferring to the inner surface of the bin body 111. Thus, frost is formed on the inner surface of the bin body 111 instead of on the storage position 3a or the surface of the first container 70 on the storage position 3a. In this way, the possibility of frosting and freezing on the surface of the first container 70 or between the first container 70 and the carrier 130 is reduced; the situation where the first container 70 cannot be taken out due to being frozen between the first container 70 and the carrier 130 is reduced, so that the subsequent test process can proceed smoothly. In addition, since the directions of the air inlet duct 142 and the air outlet duct 143 are different, the gas can form a stable air flow circulation channel in the bin body 111 through the air inlet duct 142 and the air outlet duct 143 provided on the housing 140, ensuring the reliability of the air flow passing through the first container 70 and being conducive to ensuring that the air flow carries water vapor and condenses on the inner surface of the bin body 111.

[0159] In addition, in this embodiment, it can also reduce the frequency of the storage container 110 starting the defrosting operation. Specifically, when the first container 70 is frosted and cannot be taken out, defrosting may need to be started at this time; or, when the frosting degree on the inner surface of the storage container 110 is relatively high, the defrosting operation also needs to be started to achieve the defrosting purpose. However, if the defrosting operation is started frequently, the refrigeration structure and the heating structure of the storage container are likely to be damaged. In the embodiment of the present invention, the frosting probability of the first container 70 can be reduced, so the frequency of defrosting can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby protecting the refrigeration structure and the heating structure of the storage container.

[0160] In addition, the housing 140 can play a certain protective role for the first blower 120, avoiding the situation where the first blower 120 is damaged due to the impact of external components such as a manipulator when the cover 112 is opened.

[0161] In some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 8, the housing cover 140 has a bottom housing wall 144 facing the side where the bottom surface of the bin body 111 is located, and the air outlet duct 143 is provided on the bottom housing wall 144. And / or, the housing cover 140 has a peripheral housing wall 145 which is arranged around the circumference of the first blower 120, and the air inlet duct 142 is provided on the peripheral housing wall 145.

[0162] In this way, vertical air outlet and horizontal air inlet can be realized. The vertical air outlet enables the gas generated by the first blower 120 to directly flow towards the side where the bottom surface of the bin body 111 is located, that is, directly flow towards the side where the carrier 130 is located, reducing the possibility of frosting on the surface of the first container 70 carried on the carrier 130 and the frosting between the first container 70 and the carrier 130. In addition, the airflow blowing towards the inner surface of the bin body 111 can flow upward along the inner surface of the bin body 111 and enter the installation space from the peripheral housing wall 145, so that the air can also flow through the corners inside the bin body 111, enabling each part of the bin body 111 to be used for frosting, making full use of the inner surface of the bin body 111, and improving the frosting uniformity of the inner surface of the bin body 111.

[0163] Based on the first embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , the first storage module 100 further includes a grille structure 150 which defines an accommodation space 5a. The carrier 130 is located in the accommodation space 5a. The first blower 120 is used to blow air towards the accommodation space 5a, and the grille structure 150 enables air communication between the accommodation space 5a and the inner surface of the bin body 111.

[0164] When the cover body 112 is in the closed state, the first blower 120 can blow air in the direction directly facing the accommodation space 5a. The airflow generated by the first blower 120 will first flow through the accommodation space 5a, then flow through the grille on the grille structure 150 towards the inner surface of the bin body 111, and finally flow back to the first blower 120 from the air inlet duct 142, enabling the gas to form a cycle. In this way, the airflow generated by the first blower 120 can drive the water vapor to transfer inside the bin body 111, thereby reducing the frosting speed inside the bin body 111. Moreover, since the grille structure 150 enables air communication between the accommodation space 5a and the inner surface of the bin body 111, the water vapor in the accommodation space 5a can be driven by the airflow to pass through the grille structure 150 and transfer to the inner surface of the bin body 111. And when a part of the airflow is rebounded by the inner surface of the bin body 111, even if a part of the ice crystals are carried by the airflow and rebounded by the inner surface of the bin body 111, the grille structure 150 can play a certain role in blocking the ice crystals, further reducing the probability of frosting in the accommodation space 5a.

[0165] In addition, the grille structure 150 can also play a role in visual occlusion, presenting a frost-free visual perception to a certain extent, that is, no frost is visible to the naked eye (because the frost forms on the inner surface of the storage body 111 rather than inside the grille structure 150 and is blocked by the grille structure 150), thus enhancing the user experience.

[0166] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the grille structure 150 is spaced from the inner surface of the peripheral side of the storage body 111 and defines a second cavity 151, and the second cavity 151 surrounds the outer periphery of the grille structure 150.

[0167] The second cavity 151 can reserve a certain accommodation space for the frost formed on the inner surface of the storage body 111, so that the formed frost can be temporarily stored between the inner surface of the storage body 111 and the outer peripheral surface of the grille structure 150. In this way, when the frost fills the space of the second cavity 151, the entire storage container 110 can be defrosted, thereby being able to extend the time for the overall defrosting of the storage container 110, avoid frequent defrosting, improve the service life of the refrigeration structure and the heating structure of the storage container 110, and be beneficial to cost savings.

[0168] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the grille structure 150 includes a plurality of grille bars 152, the grille bars 152 extend in the horizontal direction, and the plurality of grille bars 152 are arranged at intervals in the height direction. Specifically, the gap between two adjacent grille bars 152 allows the air flow to pass through.

[0169] In this embodiment, while ensuring the air communication between the accommodation space 5a and the inner surface of the storage body 111, it can play a role in visually occluding the frost. When the user opens the cover 112, it is not easy to see the frost in the second cavity 151 through the grille structure 150, enhancing the aesthetics and further improving the frost-free feeling for the user's naked eyes.

[0170] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 , the first storage module 100 includes a storage container 110, a heat insulation component 160 and a refrigeration component 170. The storage container 110 can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments. The refrigeration component 170 can be a common refrigeration device, for example, including a thermoelectric cooler and a radiator. The heat insulation component 160 includes a first heat insulation member 161 and a second heat insulation member 162. The first heat insulation member 161 has a heat insulation cavity. The heat insulation component 160 at least partially covers the outer surface of the storage body 111. The storage body 111 is provided with a first accommodation cavity for placing the first container, and the refrigeration component 170 is used to provide cold quantity to the first accommodation cavity.

[0171] In this embodiment, the thermal insulation component 160 is wrapped around the outer surface of the bin body 111. The thermal insulation component 160 includes a first thermal insulation member 161 having a thermal insulation cavity and a second thermal insulation member 162. Both the first thermal insulation member 161 and the second thermal insulation member 162 can play a role in blocking the transfer of cold. Moreover, compared with the solid-structured thermal insulation member, the first thermal insulation member 161 with a thermal insulation cavity has a lower thermal conductivity. The first thermal insulation member 161 and the second thermal insulation member 162 act together to effectively reduce the heat conduction efficiency between the first accommodation cavity and the outside, thermally insulate the bin body 111, thereby effectively reducing the cold leakage of the first accommodation cavity of the bin body 111, and further effectively improving the thermal insulation ability of the first storage module 100, which is beneficial for the first storage module 100 to reach a lower storage temperature, enabling the first storage module 100 to more stably store consumables such as quality control products or calibration products, and realizing the long-term storage of consumables.

[0172] When the thermal insulation component 160 is provided, in some embodiments of the present invention, the thermal insulation cavity is in a vacuum state, and there is no heat conduction medium in the vacuum-state thermal insulation cavity. Compared with the solid-structured thermal insulation member, the first thermal insulation member 161 with a vacuum-state thermal insulation cavity has a lower thermal conductivity to improve the thermal insulation performance of the first thermal insulation member 161; in other embodiments, the thermal insulation cavity is filled with an inert gas. Compared with the solid-structured thermal insulation member, the inert gas has a lower heat conduction ability, so it can also reduce the heat conduction ability of the first thermal insulation member 161 and improve the thermal insulation performance of the first thermal insulation member 161.

[0173] Furthermore, the materials of the first thermal insulation member 161 and the second thermal insulation member 162 are different. The material of the second thermal insulation member 162 is a foaming material. Specifically, the foaming material is polyurethane; the first thermal insulation member 161 can adopt a vacuum insulation panel (abbreviated as VIP). The vacuum insulation panel is mainly obtained by evacuating three parts: a core material, a barrier film, and a getter. The barrier film is coated on the outside of the core material. The core material is a porous material that can support the thermal insulation cavity inside the barrier film. The getter is placed inside the barrier film to adsorb the gas generated due to external penetration or internal material outgassing, ensuring a better vacuum degree inside the vacuum insulation panel and maintaining the heat insulation performance of the vacuum insulation panel. The vacuum insulation panel adopts the vacuum insulation principle, evacuating the gas inside the panel to keep a certain vacuum degree, effectively eliminating the convective heat transfer of the internal gas; the first thermal insulation member 161 can also adopt a hollow glass panel. The hollow glass panel defines a thermal insulation cavity through two or more layers of spaced glass, and the thermal insulation cavity is evacuated or filled with an inert gas to reduce the thermal conductivity of the hollow glass panel.

[0174] When preparing the thermal insulation component 160, first place the first thermal insulation member 161 in a mold, and then inject a foaming material into the mold. After the foaming material foams and solidifies, a second thermal insulation member 162 connected to the first thermal insulation member 161 as a whole is formed. Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, a single first thermal insulation member 161 can be first placed in the mold, the foaming material is injected to foam and solidify, and a second thermal insulation member 162 is formed on the single first thermal insulation member 161. Then, a combination of multiple first thermal insulation members 161 and second thermal insulation members 162 is spliced to form a complete thermal insulation component 160; in other embodiments, multiple first thermal insulation members 161 can be first spliced, and then the combination of multiple first thermal insulation members 161 is placed in the mold, the foaming material is injected to foam and solidify, and a complete seamless second thermal insulation member 162 is formed on the multiple first thermal insulation members 161, which is beneficial to improving the integrity of the thermal insulation component 160. The thermal insulation component 160 with an integrated structure has no splicing gap, so it can effectively avoid cold leakage caused by the splicing gap, further improve the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation component 160, and further reduce the storage temperature of the first storage module 100.

[0175] When the thermal insulation component 160 is provided, in some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 10 , the bin body 111 abuts against the first thermal insulation member 161, and the second thermal insulation member 162 covers the first thermal insulation member 161. Since the first thermal insulation member 161 has a thermal insulation cavity, its thermal insulation performance is better. By arranging the first thermal insulation member 161 with better thermal insulation performance on the side close to the bin body 111, the cold in the first accommodation cavity is not easily leaked out through the first thermal insulation member 161, and the second thermal insulation member 162 covering the first thermal insulation member 161 can further isolate the cold and ensure the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation component 160; moreover, the second thermal insulation member 162 covering the first thermal insulation member 161 can also play a protective role for the first thermal insulation member 161. On the one hand, it can prevent the first thermal insulation member 161 from being damaged by accidental bumps, and on the other hand, it can separate the first thermal insulation member 161 from the external environment. In the embodiments where the thermal insulation cavity is in a vacuum state, the second thermal insulation member 162 can slow down the speed of air in the environment entering the thermal insulation cavity. In the embodiments where an inert gas is filled in the thermal insulation cavity, the second thermal insulation member 162 can slow down the speed of the inert gas in the thermal insulation cavity leaking out, thereby improving the service life of the thermal insulation component 160.

[0176] More specifically, the bin body 111 can be adhesively bonded to the first heat-insulating member 161. Before the second heat-insulating member 162 made of a foaming material is formed, the first heat-insulating member 161 can be adhesively bonded to the outer surface of the bin body 111 first, and then the combination of the bin body 111 and the first heat-insulating member 161 is placed into a mold. Then, the foaming material is injected into the mold. After the foaming material foams and solidifies, the second heat-insulating member 162 is formed, so that the bin body 111, the first heat-insulating member 161, and the second heat-insulating member 162 are stably connected, thereby improving the structural stability of the first storage module 100. In addition, the first heat-insulating member 161 and the second heat-insulating member 162 are stably coated on the outer surface of the bin body 111. Both the first heat-insulating member 161 and the second heat-insulating member 162 can play a role in blocking the transfer of cold. Moreover, compared with the solid-structured heat-insulating member, the first heat-insulating member 161 with a heat-insulating cavity has a lower thermal conductivity. The first heat-insulating member 161 and the second heat-insulating member 162 work together to effectively reduce the heat conduction efficiency between the first accommodation cavity and the outside, keep the bin body 111 warm, and thus effectively reduce the cold leakage of the first accommodation cavity of the storage container 110.

[0177] Based on the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 11 to 13 , the warming module 200 includes a housing member 210 and a second blower 220. A second accommodation cavity 211 is formed inside the housing member 210. The housing member 210 is provided with an air inlet 212 and an air outlet 213. The air inlet 212 and the air outlet 213 communicate with the second accommodation cavity 211 to form a rewarming air duct in the second accommodation cavity 211. The second blower 220 is used to form an air flow that enters the rewarming air duct from the air inlet 212 and flows out from the air outlet 213. The housing member 210 is formed with a placement position 214 for placing the first container containing the calibration product or the quality control product, so that at least a part of the first container placed at the placement position 214 is located in the rewarming air duct.

[0178] During use, the first container containing the calibration product or the quality control product is sent into the warming module 200 and placed at the placement position 214 of the housing member 210. The air flow in the rewarming air duct exchanges heat with the first container, thereby reheating the calibration product or the quality control product inside the first container. The detection module is used to detect the calibration product or the quality control product contained in the first container, and the scheduling module is used to schedule the reheated first container containing the calibration product or the quality control product to the detection module for detection. Thus, the warming module 200 in the sample analysis system is used to reheat the calibration product or the quality control product, and the reheated calibration product or quality control product can be scheduled to the detection module for detection through the scheduling module. The sample analysis system has an online rewarming function, improving the applicability of the sample analysis system and the controllability of the rewarming operation.

[0179] In the sample analysis system according to the embodiments of the present invention, the air flow formed in the rewarming air duct can accelerate the heat exchange of the first container and the calibration product or quality control product in the first container, thereby reducing the rewarming time, effectively reducing the risk of deterioration of the calibration product or quality control product, and ensuring the accuracy of detection. Increasing the wind speed and / or air volume can further improve the heat exchange efficiency to a certain extent, thereby further reducing the rewarming time.

[0180] Reference Figure 12 , in some embodiments of the present invention, along the extending direction of the rewarming air duct (such as the left-right direction in the figure), at least part of the placement positions 214 are staggered, so that the first containers placed in the placement positions 214 are also staggered, which can effectively prevent the first containers from blocking each other along the extending direction of the rewarming air duct, facilitating the air flow in the rewarming air duct to pass through each first container, and being conducive to quickly reaching the rewarming temperature of the calibration product or quality control product.

[0181] Specifically, the placement positions 214 can be staggered in various ways. For example, there may be no specific distribution rule between the placement positions 214, and there only needs to be a gap for the air flow to pass through between adjacent placement positions 214. Or, part or all of the placement positions 214 can be arranged in order. For example, Figure 11 taking the shown manner as an example, the rewarming air duct extends along the left-right direction shown in the figure. Part or all of the placement positions 214 can be distributed in at least two columns. The arrangement direction of the placement positions 214 in each column is perpendicular to the extending direction of the rewarming air duct, that is, the placement positions 214 in each column are arranged at intervals along the front-back direction. The columns are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. There is a gap between the placement positions 214 in the same column, and the placement positions 214 in adjacent columns are staggered from each other in the left-right direction. For example, in any two adjacent placement positions 214 in the left and right adjacent columns, the placement positions 214 in the right column are opposite to the interval between two adjacent placement positions 214 in the placement positions 214 in the left column in the left-right direction. Only part of the placement positions 214 can be arranged in the above order, and the remaining placement positions 214 can have no specific distribution order; or, all of the placement positions 214 can be arranged in the above order.

[0182] Reference Figures 11 to 13 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the accommodating member 210 includes a side wall 215, a bottom wall 216 and a placing member 217. The side wall 215 protrudes from the surface of the bottom wall 216 on one side of the bottom wall 216. The side wall 215 and the bottom wall 216 enclose a second accommodating cavity 211. The placing member 217 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 211, and the placement positions 214 are provided on the placing member 217. Therefore, the first container containing the calibration product or quality control product can be placed in the placement positions 214 in the second accommodating cavity 211.

[0183] Specifically, the placement member 217 can be in the shape of a plate. The placement position 214 on the placement member 217 is a through slot penetrating the placement member 217. The first container containing the calibration product or the quality control product can pass through the through slot so that the bottom of the first container abuts against the bottom wall 216, realizing the placement of the first container. Alternatively, the placement member 217 can also be other structures capable of placing the first container. For example, the placement member 217 can include at least a pair of clip pieces, and the clip pieces are connected to the side wall 215 or the bottom wall 216 of the accommodating member 210, and the two clip pieces in a pair fix at least one first container in the second accommodating cavity 211 in a clamping manner.

[0184] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 13 , in some embodiments of the present invention, there is a ventilation space 218 between the placement member 217 and the bottom wall 216, which at least partially overlaps with the rewarming air duct. At least a part of the first container placed at the placement position 214 is located in the ventilation space 218. Therefore, the air flow formed by the second fan 220 in the rewarming air duct can at least partially pass through the ventilation space 218, so as to at least be able to perform heat exchange and rewarming on the part of the first container located in the ventilation space 218.

[0185] In the solution where the placement member 217 is in a plate-like structure, the distance between the placement member 217 and the bottom wall 216 can be less than the distance between the end of the side wall 215 facing away from the bottom wall 216 (such as the upper end in the figure) and the bottom wall 216, that is, the upper end of the side wall 215 is higher than the placement member 217. Thus, the ventilation space 218 between the placement member 217 and the bottom wall 216 forms a ventilation space 218 that partially overlaps with the rewarming air duct, and a part of the air flow formed by the second fan 220 can pass through the ventilation space 218; or, the placement member 217 is flush with one end of the side wall 215 (such as the upper end in the figure). Thus, the ventilation space 218 between the placement member 217 and the bottom wall 216 completely overlaps with the rewarming air duct. The plate-like placement member 217 can be enclosed between the side walls 215 on the opposite side of the bottom wall 216, so as to guide the air flow together with the side walls 215 and the bottom wall 216, effectively guiding the air flow entering from the air inlet 212 to flow out from the air outlet 213, reducing or avoiding the air flow from escaping from other positions, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0186] The existing sample analysis system does not monitor the semiconductor refrigeration system, and cannot timely grasp the variation of the semiconductor refrigeration part. If the semiconductor refrigeration part varies, it may lead to a decline in the refrigeration effect, and thus lead to a decline in the stability of the dry powder quality control products and calibration products. In addition, the variation of the semiconductor refrigeration part may also lead to an open circuit or short circuit in the refrigeration circuit, resulting in the abnormal operation of the equipment. On the one hand, if not discovered and measures are not taken in time, this may lead to overheating or damage of the entire equipment. On the other hand, when a refrigeration system failure occurs in the sample analysis system, it is not possible to well locate the cause of the failure, and it is often necessary to check components such as boards, wires, and the semiconductor refrigeration part one by one, consuming a large maintenance cost. In the related technology, by installing additional sensors on the semiconductor refrigeration part, such as temperature sensors or humidity sensors, the working state and environmental conditions can be detected. However, only using temperature or humidity data analysis to monitor the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration part may result in misjudgment. For example, when the sensor fails or the data is abnormal, it may be wrongly considered that there is a problem with the semiconductor refrigeration part, resulting in unnecessary repairs or replacements. Based on this, on the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller obtains the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration part detected by the detection component, and determines the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration part according to the obtained internal resistance value, which can perform online monitoring of the semiconductor refrigeration part. Without affecting the normal operation of the sample analysis system and being able to maintain the quality control products or calibration products frozen at a sub-zero temperature, the timeliness of monitoring the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration part is effectively improved.

[0187] Specifically, the first storage module 100 in this embodiment includes a refrigeration component 170, and the refrigeration component 170 includes a semiconductor refrigeration part, and the semiconductor refrigeration part can be understood with reference to the aforementioned refrigeration component 170. The first storage module 100 may further include the aforementioned storage container 110. The refrigeration component 170 includes a semiconductor refrigeration part for refrigerating the first accommodation cavity of the storage container 110, and a detection component for detecting the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration part. The controller is used to obtain the internal resistance value through the detection component and determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration part according to the internal resistance value.

[0188] It can be understood that while the controller controls the dispensing mechanism to dispatch the quality control products or calibration products in the carrying component to the detection mechanism to detect the reaction solution after incubation, it is possible to obtain the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration part for freezing and storing the quality control products or calibration products through the detection component, so as to determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration part according to the internal resistance value, and realize the online monitoring of the semiconductor refrigeration part. When the sample analysis system maintains the quality control products or calibration products frozen at a sub-zero temperature, it is possible to timely detect whether the semiconductor refrigeration part has a variation state.

[0189] When the controller can determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration unit according to the internal resistance value, in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller is further configured to compare the internal resistance value with a first preset condition. If the internal resistance value does not meet the first preset condition, it is confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation.

[0190] It can be understood that after the controller obtains the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit detected by the detection component, it simultaneously obtains the pre-stored first preset condition. Then, the controller compares the internal resistance value with the first preset condition to determine whether the internal resistance value meets the first preset condition. If it does not meet the first preset condition, it can be confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation. If the internal resistance value meets the first preset condition, the controller confirms that the semiconductor refrigeration unit is in a normal working state, and the semiconductor refrigeration unit can continue to maintain a normal working state.

[0191] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0192] The calibrated internal resistance value or the calibrated internal resistance value range of the semiconductor refrigeration unit;

[0193] The normal internal resistance value or the normal internal resistance value range of the semiconductor refrigeration unit at room temperature;

[0194] The normal internal resistance value or the normal internal resistance value range of the semiconductor refrigeration unit at the target working temperature;

[0195] The normal internal resistance value or the normal internal resistance value range obtained according to the historical data of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit.

[0196] It can be understood that the semiconductor refrigeration unit may include multiple semiconductor refrigeration chips, and the internal resistance values of each semiconductor refrigeration chip will change with the change of the ambient temperature. The normal internal resistance value or the normal internal resistance value range measured in advance at room temperature or at the temperature of normal refrigeration operation can be used as the first preset condition. Among them, the calibrated internal resistance value is the factory nominal internal resistance value of a single semiconductor refrigeration chip, and the calibrated internal resistance value or the calibrated internal resistance value range of each semiconductor refrigeration chip is recorded in the corresponding product specification or technical manual. The specific calibrated internal resistance value may vary due to different semiconductor refrigeration chip models, production batches, and actual test conditions. For example, if the calibrated internal resistance value or the normal internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit is between 0.3 and 0.5 ohms, then the first preset condition can be set to less than 0.3 ohms or greater than 0.5 ohms. When the detected internal resistance value is outside this range, it can be confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation.

[0197] In one embodiment, when the controller determines that the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit conforms to the normal internal resistance value and / or the calibrated internal resistance value, or when it determines that the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit is within the range of the normal internal resistance value, the controller confirms that the semiconductor refrigeration unit is in a normal working state, and the semiconductor refrigeration unit can continue to maintain the normal working state. In another embodiment, when the controller determines that the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit does not conform to the normal internal resistance value and / or the calibrated internal resistance value, or when it determines that the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit exceeds the range of the calibrated internal resistance value and / or the range of the normal internal resistance value, the controller confirms that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation. It should be noted that the above various types of first preset conditions can be input by the user into the sample analysis system for setting.

[0198] When the controller can determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration unit according to the internal resistance value, in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller is further configured to, when it is confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation and the internal resistance value conforms to the second preset condition, keep the sample analysis system working normally and give a fault prompt; or, the controller is further configured to, when it is confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation and the internal resistance value does not conform to the second preset condition, stop the sample analysis system from working and give a fault prompt.

[0199] It can be understood that when the controller confirms that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation, and after obtaining the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit detected by the detection component, the internal resistance value is compared with the pre-stored second preset condition to determine whether the internal resistance value conforms to the second preset condition. If the internal resistance value conforms to the second preset condition, the sample analysis system is controlled to maintain the normal working state and a fault prompt message is sent to the alarm module for alarming, prompting the staff to maintain or replace the semiconductor refrigeration unit as soon as possible. In another embodiment, when the controller confirms that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation and the internal resistance value does not conform to the second preset condition, the sample analysis system is controlled to stop working through the corresponding output interface, and the alarm module is triggered to send an alarm message for fault prompt, so that the staff can check and analyze the cause of the fault subsequently. It should be understood that the second preset condition in the embodiments of the present invention is set based on the variation of the semiconductor refrigeration unit. When the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation, the internal resistance value usually becomes very large, for example, greater than 10 ohms. Then the second preset condition can be set to be greater than 10 ohms. When the detected internal resistance value is above 10 ohms, the controller controls the sample analysis system to stop working and gives a fault prompt. Therefore, the numerical range of the second preset condition is much larger than that of the first preset condition. The controller first compares the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit with the first preset condition. If the internal resistance value does not conform to the first preset condition, it is confirmed that the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a variation. Then the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit is compared with the second preset condition to further determine whether to give a fault prompt and / or control the sample analysis system to stop, so as to avoid affecting the normal working of the sample analysis system.

[0200] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0201] The abnormal internal resistance value or abnormal internal resistance value range of the semiconductor refrigeration unit at normal temperature;

[0202] The abnormal internal resistance value or abnormal internal resistance value range of the semiconductor refrigeration unit at the target operating temperature;

[0203] The abnormal internal resistance value or abnormal internal resistance value range obtained according to the historical data of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit.

[0204] When the controller can determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration unit according to the internal resistance value, in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller is further configured to record the currently obtained internal resistance value to generate historical data of the internal resistance value, so as to predict the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit; or the controller is further configured to record the internal resistance values that do not meet the first preset condition to generate historical data of the internal resistance value, so as to predict the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit.

[0205] It can be understood that the variation trend of the internal resistance value is the change direction or change rule of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit within a certain period of time. The controller records multiple internal resistance values of the semiconductor refrigeration unit detected by the detection component during the variation period, or can fixedly record multiple internal resistance values detected each time. These internal resistance values can be the internal resistance values within the first preset condition, such as the calibrated internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit, the normal internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit at normal temperature, or the normal internal resistance value at the target operating temperature. Then, based on these internal resistance values, historical data of the internal resistance value is generated. Further, this part of the historical data can be used as historical data of the normal internal resistance value and stored, and then the variation trend of the historical data of the normal internal resistance value is calculated to predict the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit. The staff can refer to the prediction result to determine whether it is necessary to maintain or replace the semiconductor refrigeration unit in the future. In another embodiment, the controller can also compare the internal resistance values obtained within a period with the first preset condition, record the internal resistance values that do not meet the first preset condition, and generate historical data of the internal resistance value based on these internal resistance values. Further, this part of the historical data can be used as historical data of the abnormal internal resistance value and stored, and then the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit is predicted through calculation, helping the staff to judge whether the variation of the semiconductor refrigeration unit will continue to deteriorate according to the prediction result, and facilitating the determination of the failure location before maintaining or replacing the semiconductor refrigeration unit.

[0206] It should be noted that the historical data of the internal resistance value can be recorded and stored, for example, by establishing a historical data set of the internal resistance value, and then data analysis methods can be used to analyze and predict the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit. In one embodiment, the internal resistance value of the general semiconductor refrigeration unit usually changes with parameters such as temperature and current. Therefore, a non-linear fitting method, such as polynomial fitting or exponential fitting, can be used to fit the historical data set of the internal resistance value and predict the non-linear variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit. In addition, machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines, decision trees, or neural networks, can also be used to predict the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit by training a model, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of prediction.

[0207] When the controller can determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration unit according to the internal resistance value, in some embodiments of the present invention, the controller is further configured to keep the sample analysis system working normally and give a fault prompt when the variation trend meets the third preset condition.

[0208] It can be understood that the controller can control the working state of the sample analysis system according to the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit and give a corresponding fault prompt. The controller predicts the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit based on the recorded and stored historical data of the internal resistance value, and compares the prediction result with the pre-stored third preset condition to determine whether the variation trend meets the third preset condition. If the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit meets the third preset condition, at this time, the controller controls the sample analysis system to maintain the normal working state and sends a fault prompt message to the alarm module to control the alarm module to give an alarm.

[0209] In one embodiment, alternatively, the controller is further configured to stop the operation of the sample analysis system and give a fault prompt when the variation trend does not meet the third preset condition. If the variation trend of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit does not meet the third preset condition, the controller controls the sample analysis system to stop working through the corresponding output interface, such as by cutting off the power supply, sending a shutdown instruction, etc., and at the same time sends a fault prompt message and triggers the alarm module to give an alarm.

[0210] It should be noted that when the semiconductor refrigeration unit is working normally, its internal resistance value will be affected by various factors, including working temperature, material characteristics, and usage environment, etc. Therefore, the variation trend of the internal resistance value is not fixed. By setting the third preset condition, it is possible to prevent misjudging the variation trend of the internal resistance value and avoid affecting the normal operation of the sample analysis system. Specifically, the normal working temperature of the semiconductor refrigeration unit is generally a sub-zero temperature, and low temperature will affect its internal resistance value. The lower the working temperature, the variation trend is that the internal resistance value will increase and form a positive variation trend. In addition, or due to abnormal conditions such as overload or short circuit during the operation of the refrigeration chip, it will also affect the variation trend of the internal resistance value. For example, the variation trend can be a positive variation trend caused by overload resulting in an increase in the internal resistance value, or a negative variation trend caused by short circuit resulting in a decrease in the internal resistance value.

[0211] Correspondingly, the third preset condition that can cover different direction variation trends can be set according to the historical data of the normal internal resistance value, or the third preset condition for judging the positive variation trend and the third preset condition for judging the negative variation trend can be set respectively according to the end values of the historical data of the normal internal resistance value. The historical data of the normal internal resistance value in both cases are recorded by the semiconductor refrigeration chip under different working conditions. For example, the historical data of the normal internal resistance value recorded at room temperature, the historical data of the normal internal resistance value recorded at the target working temperature, etc. When judging the variation trend, the third preset condition corresponding to the working condition is automatically selected for comparison. It should be understood that the third preset condition is used as a reference for the normal change of the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit under different working conditions. If the variation trend of the internal resistance value does not conform to the third preset condition, it indicates that the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit has a continuous abnormal change at this time.

[0212] When the controller can determine the variation state of the semiconductor refrigeration unit according to the internal resistance value, in some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration assembly 170 further includes a driving module for outputting working electrical parameters to the semiconductor refrigeration unit; the controller is further configured to control the driving module according to the internal resistance value to adjust the working electrical parameters output by the driving module.

[0213] It can be understood that the controller calculates the corresponding working electrical parameters based on the internal resistance value of the semiconductor refrigeration unit detected by the detection component in real time and obtains the input power supply voltage, and then adjusts the working electrical parameters output by the driving module, so that the working electrical parameters output to the semiconductor refrigeration unit reach the required value, thereby extending the service life. In one embodiment, the controller can also adjust the working electrical parameters output by the driving module by calculating the working electrical parameters corresponding to multiple internal resistance values in the historical data of the internal resistance value obtained in the above embodiment and obtaining the input power supply in real time, which can more precisely control the refrigeration effect of the semiconductor refrigeration unit and reduce power consumption while maintaining the normal operation of the semiconductor refrigeration unit.

[0214] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, which can automatically prepare quality control samples or calibration samples by using dry powder quality control substances or dry powder calibration substances and a reconstitution solution. Specifically, it includes a second storage module, a detection module, a reconstitution module, a scheduling module 400 and a controller. The second storage module is used to store a first container containing dry powder quality control substances or dry powder calibration substances. The reconstitution module is used to provide the reconstitution solution. The detection module is used to perform detection operations on the quality control samples or calibration samples contained in the first container. The scheduling module is used to schedule the first container. The second storage module, the detection module, the reconstitution module, and the scheduling module 400 in this embodiment can all be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments.

[0215] In this embodiment, the controller is configured to control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing dry powder quality control substances or dry powder calibration substances stored in the second storage module to the reconstitution module, and control the reconstitution module to add the reconstitution solution to the first container to form a quality control sample or a calibration sample, and control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container containing the quality control sample or the calibration sample to the detection module for detection.

[0216] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the controller can independently determine whether quality control or calibration operations are required, reducing the manual participation link and the workload of users. In addition, compared with liquid calibration samples and quality control samples, dry powder calibration substances and quality control calibration substances have higher stability, can be stored for a longer time, and have relatively lower requirements for storage conditions. For example, they can be stored in a refrigerator.

[0217] It should also be noted that in the above embodiment, the reconstitution module and the second storage module can be arranged adjacent to each other to reduce the time for scheduling the first container containing dry powder quality control substances or dry powder calibration substances to the reconstitution module. The reconstitution module can be arranged adjacent to the first storage module 100 to reduce the time for scheduling the quality control sample or the calibration sample to the first storage module 100.

[0218] The third embodiment of the present invention provides a sample storage system, which can store quality control samples or calibration samples at a lower temperature than a common refrigerated storage module. It should be noted that the sample storage system in this embodiment can be integrated into a single sample analysis machine or a sample production line, or used as an independent storage system. Referring to Figure 14 , which shows a schematic diagram when used as an independent storage system. The sample storage system includes a first storage module 100, a warming zone, a scheduling module 400 and a controller. The first storage module 100 is used to store a first container containing quality control samples or calibration samples. The warming zone is used to warm the quality control samples or calibration samples contained in the first container. The scheduling module 400 is used to schedule the first container. The first storage module 100, the warming module, and the scheduling module 400 in this embodiment can all be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiments.

[0219] In this embodiment, the storage temperature of the first storage module 100 is less than or equal to zero degrees, that is, lower than the storage temperature of a common cold storage module, thereby reducing the probability of failure of quality control products and calibration products.

[0220] The storage temperature of the first storage module 100 is relatively low, and it is difficult to directly detect the quality control product or calibration product after it is removed from the first storage module 100. On the one hand, the quality control product or calibration product may be in a solidified state, and the aspiration needle cannot aspirate liquid. On the other hand, even if the quality control product or calibration product is not in a solidified state, its temperature is relatively low, and direct detection will affect the test results. Based on this, the sample analysis system also includes a heating zone. After the first container containing the quality control product or calibration product is removed from the first storage module 100, it will be placed in the heating zone for heating to ensure normal aspiration and to ensure the detection accuracy. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the quality control product and / or calibration product can be naturally heated by relying on environmental heat, and in other embodiments, the quality control product and / or calibration product can also be actively heated by a heat source. It should also be noted that in some embodiments, the quality control products and / or calibration products can be directly placed in the heating zone for heating. In other embodiments, the sample analysis system includes a heating module 200, and the quality control products and / or calibration products are placed in the heating module 200 for heating.

[0221] In combination with the above, in this embodiment, the first storage module 100 can store a first container containing quality control products and / or calibration products, and the controller can control the scheduling module 400 to schedule the first container stored in the first storage module to the heating module to perform a heating operation on the quality control sample or calibration sample in the first container.

[0222] Based on the third embodiment, in some embodiments, the sample storage system further includes a cover opening module 600, which is used to perform a cover opening operation on a first container containing quality control products or calibration products. For example, when the tube body of the first container is fixed, the cover opening module can press against the lower edge of the first container cover and move upward to open the cover.

[0223] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
