Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a sample analysis system and a sample scheduling method. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the sample detection throughput, multiple sets of sample injection mechanisms and multiple sets of detection mechanisms are usually set up in the sample analysis system. Using multiple sets of detection mechanisms for detection can effectively improve the sample detection efficiency.

[0003] Different samples may require different testing items. For example, some samples may need to be tested at one testing facility, some at another, and some at both. Therefore, to improve testing efficiency, it is usually necessary to load the corresponding samples into designated channels. However, since the sample analysis system has multiple injection mechanisms, it may happen that the corresponding sample is not loaded into the designated channel. In related technologies, if the sample is loaded into the wrong injection mechanism, manual assistance is required for scheduling. Therefore, the sample analysis system needs to be optimized to further improve the sample detection efficiency.

[0019] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the framework structure of a sample analysis system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the sample analysis system 100 includes at least two analysis modules (such as a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20) and a controller 50, wherein each analysis module includes a scheduling component and a detection component, and each scheduling component includes at least a sample injection mechanism, a scheduling mechanism and a scanning mechanism. The sample injection mechanism is used for allowing a user to insert a sample container containing a sample, the scheduling mechanism is used to execute sample container scheduling, and the scanning mechanism is used to obtain sample information corresponding to the sample placed in the sample container; each detection component is provided with at least one detection mechanism and a pipetting mechanism, the pipetting mechanism is used to transfer at least part of the sample in the sample container in the scheduling component to the detection mechanism for detection, and the detection mechanism is used to detect the sample to obtain a detection result.

[0021] Optionally, the scheduling mechanism is used to schedule sample containers within the analysis module, so that the detection component can detect the samples in at least part of the sample containers placed by the sampling mechanism in the analysis module to obtain detection results; wherein, at least one scheduling mechanism acts as a cascade scheduling mechanism, which is used to schedule at least part of the sample containers in the analysis module to other analysis modules, so that the other analysis modules can detect at least part of the samples in the transferred sample containers to obtain detection results.

[0022] Optionally, at least one scheduling mechanism is a cascade scheduling mechanism, which is used to schedule sample containers in other analysis modules to the analysis module where the scheduling mechanism is located, so that the detection components in the analysis module can perform detection to obtain detection results.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, for ease of description, at least two analysis modules include a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20 . However, the at least two analysis modules are not limited to only include the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 .

[0024] Exemplarily, the at least two analysis modules include a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20 , and both the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 are used to analyze the sample to be tested to obtain corresponding test results.

[0025] The first analysis module 10 includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: a biochemical analyzer, an immunoassay analyzer, a coagulation analyzer, and a urine analyzer, and / or the second analysis module 20 includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: a biochemical analyzer, an immunoassay analyzer, a coagulation analyzer, and a urine analyzer.

[0026] That is, the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 may be the same sample analysis module or different sample analysis modules, which is not limited here.

[0027] For example, the first analysis module 10 is a biochemical analyzer for performing biochemical tests on the sample to be tested, and the second analysis module 20 is an immunoassay analyzer for performing immunoassay tests on the sample to be tested. For another example, the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 are both biochemical analysis modules for performing biochemical tests on the sample, or the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 are both immunoassay analyzers for performing immunoassay tests on the sample.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the first analysis module 10 includes a first scheduling component 12 and a first detection component 11. The first scheduling component 12 is used to schedule at least a portion of the sample containers loaded from the first analysis module 10 to the first detection component 11 for detection in the first detection component 11 to obtain a first detection result of the sample. The second analysis module 20 includes a second scheduling component 22 and a second detection component 21. The second scheduling component 12 is used to schedule at least a portion of the sample containers loaded from the second analysis module 20 to the second detection component 21 for detection in the second detection component 21 to obtain a second detection result of the sample.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first scheduling component 12 includes a first sampling mechanism 121, a first scheduling mechanism 122 and a first carrying mechanism 120. The first sampling mechanism 121 is used for the user to insert a sample container containing a sample. The first detection component 11 is used to detect at least a portion of the sample in at least a portion of the sample container provided by the first sampling mechanism 121 to obtain a first detection result. The first scheduling mechanism 122 is used to schedule at least a portion of the sample container inserted by the first sampling mechanism 121 in the first analysis module 10, and schedule the sample container to the first carrying mechanism 120, so that the first detection component 11 detects at least a portion of the sample in at least a portion of the sample container provided by the first sampling mechanism 121 to obtain a first detection result.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the second scheduling component 22 includes a second sampling mechanism 221, a second scheduling mechanism 222 and a second carrying mechanism 220. The second sampling mechanism 221 is used for the user to insert a sample container containing a sample. The second detection component 21 is used to detect at least a portion of the sample in at least a portion of the sample container provided by the second sampling mechanism 221 to obtain a second detection result. The second scheduling mechanism 222 is used to schedule at least a portion of the sample inserted by the second sampling mechanism 221 in the second analysis module 20, and schedule the sample container to the second carrying mechanism 220, so that the second detection component 21 detects at least a portion of the sample in at least a portion of the sample container provided by the second sampling mechanism 221 to obtain a second detection result.

[0031] Optionally, the first scheduling component 12 further includes a first scanning mechanism 123 for scanning the sample container provided by the first sample introduction mechanism 121 to obtain sample information corresponding to the sample carried by the sample container, where the sample information at least includes detection items of the sample.

[0032] Optionally, the second scheduling component 22 further includes a second scanning mechanism 223 for scanning the sample container provided by the second sample introduction mechanism 221 to obtain sample information corresponding to the sample carried by the sample container, where the sample information at least includes detection items of the sample.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first detection component 11 includes a first detection mechanism 111 and a first pipetting mechanism 112, wherein the first pipetting mechanism 112 is used to transfer the sample in the sample container located in the first carrying mechanism 120 to the first detection mechanism 111 for detection in the first detection mechanism 111.

[0034] Exemplarily, when the target analysis module is the first analysis module 10, the sample analysis process of the first analysis module 10 may be that the first scheduling mechanism 122 or the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the sample container carrying the sample to be analyzed to the first carrying mechanism 120, and then the first pipetting mechanism 112 transfers the sample placed in the sample container of the first carrying mechanism 120 to the first detection mechanism 111, and the second detection mechanism 111 performs detection.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second detection component 21 includes a second detection mechanism 211, a second pipetting mechanism 212 and a second carrying mechanism 220, wherein the second carrying mechanism 220 is used to provide supporting support for the sample container to be aspirated, and the second pipetting mechanism 212 is used to transfer the sample in the sample container located in the second carrying mechanism 220 to the second detection mechanism 211 for detection in the second detection mechanism 211.

[0036] Exemplarily, when the target analysis module is the second analysis module 20, the sample analysis process of the second analysis module 20 may be that the second scheduling mechanism 222 or the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the sample container carrying the sample to be analyzed to the second carrying mechanism 220, and then the second pipetting mechanism 212 transfers the sample placed in the sample container of the second carrying mechanism 220 to the second detection mechanism 211, and the second detection mechanism 211 performs detection.

[0037] It will be understood that the first pipetting mechanism 112 and / or the second pipetting mechanism 212 include a sample dispensing mechanism, a reagent component, and a reagent dispensing mechanism. The sample dispensing mechanism is used to aspirate a sample and discharge it into a reaction vessel (e.g., a cuvette) to be loaded. For example, the sample dispensing mechanism may include a sample needle, which is spatially moved in two or three dimensions by a two-dimensional or three-dimensional drive mechanism. This allows the sample needle to aspirate a sample carried by a carrying mechanism within the scheduling assembly, move to a reaction vessel to be loaded, and discharge the sample into the reaction vessel.

[0038] The reagent component is used to carry reagents. In one embodiment, the reagent component can be a reagent tray, which is a disc-shaped structure with multiple positions for carrying reagent containers. The reagent component can rotate and drive the reagent container it carries to rotate, and is used to rotate the reagent container to a specific position, such as a position where the reagent is drawn by the reagent dispensing mechanism. There can be one or more reagent components.

[0039] The reagent dispensing mechanism is used to draw up the reagent and discharge it into a reaction vessel to be added. In one embodiment, the reagent dispensing mechanism may include a reagent needle, which is spatially moved in two or three dimensions by a two-dimensional or three-dimensional drive mechanism, so that the reagent needle can move to draw up the reagent carried by the reagent component, move to the reaction vessel to be added, and discharge the reagent into the reaction vessel.

[0040] It can also be understood that the first detection mechanism 111 and / or the second detection mechanism 211 include a reaction component and a light detection component. The reaction component has at least one placement position, which is used to place a reaction vessel and incubate the reaction liquid in the reaction vessel. For example, the reaction component can be a reaction disk, which is arranged in a disc-shaped structure and has one or more placement positions for placing reaction vessels. The reaction disk can rotate and drive the reaction vessels in its placement positions to rotate, and is used to arrange the reaction vessels in the reaction disk and incubate the reaction liquid in the reaction vessels.

[0041] The optical measurement component is used to perform optical measurements on the incubated reaction solution to obtain sample reaction data. For example, the optical measurement component detects the luminescence intensity of the reaction solution to be measured and, using a calibration curve, calculates the concentration of the component to be measured in the sample. In one embodiment, the optical measurement component is separately disposed outside the reaction component.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system 100 further includes a cascade scheduling mechanism 30 , which is configured to schedule sample containers between the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 .

[0043] The cascade scheduling mechanism 30 may be a third scheduling mechanism independent of the first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 222 , that is, the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 , the second scheduling mechanism 222 and the first scheduling mechanism 112 may schedule sample containers independently of each other.

[0044] Optionally, the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 may be provided in the first analysis module 10 , or in the second analysis module 20 , or may be provided partially in the first analysis module 10 and partially in the second analysis module 20 .

[0045] Optionally, the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 is independently provided from the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 , and only needs to be able to schedule sample containers between the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 .

[0046] Optionally, the first dispatch mechanism 122 includes, but is not limited to, dispatching at least one of a trolley, a mechanical gripper, and a human transport. Optionally, the second dispatch mechanism 222 includes, but is not limited to, dispatching at least one of a trolley, a mechanical gripper, and a human transport. Optionally, the cascade dispatch mechanism 30 includes, but is not limited to, dispatching at least one of a trolley, a mechanical gripper, and a human transport.

[0047] In some embodiments, the cascaded scheduling mechanism 30 may reuse at least one of the first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 222. That is, at least one of the first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 222 may be used as the cascaded scheduling mechanism.

[0048] Exemplarily, when the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 reuses the first scheduling mechanism 112, the first scheduling mechanism 112 is used to schedule sample containers within the first analysis module 10 so that the first detection component 11 can detect samples in at least part of the sample containers placed by the first injection mechanism 121 in the first analysis module 10 to obtain detection results.

[0049] Furthermore, the first scheduling mechanism 112, as a cascade scheduling mechanism, is also used to schedule at least part of the sample containers in the first analysis module 10 to other analysis modules (such as the second analysis module 20), so that the other analysis modules can detect at least part of the samples in the transferred sample containers to obtain detection results.

[0050] And / or, the first scheduling mechanism 112 is also used to schedule sample containers in other analysis modules (such as the second analysis module 20) to the analysis module (first analysis module 10) where the first scheduling mechanism 112 is located, so that the detection component (first detection component 11) in the analysis module (first analysis module 10) can perform detection to obtain detection results.

[0051] Exemplarily, when the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 reuses the second scheduling mechanism 222, the second scheduling mechanism 222 is used to schedule sample containers in the second analysis module 20 so that the second detection component 21 can detect the samples in at least part of the sample containers placed by the second injection mechanism 221 in the second analysis module 20 to obtain detection results.

[0052] Furthermore, the second scheduling mechanism 222, as a cascade scheduling mechanism, is also used to schedule at least part of the sample containers in the second analysis module 20 to other analysis modules (such as the first analysis module 10), so that the other analysis modules can detect at least part of the samples in the transferred sample containers to obtain detection results.

[0053] And / or, the second scheduling mechanism 222 is also used to schedule sample containers in other analysis modules (such as the first analysis module 10) to the analysis module (the second analysis module 20) where the second scheduling mechanism 222 is located, so that the detection component (the second detection component 21) in the analysis module (the second analysis module 20) can perform detection to obtain detection results.

[0054] In some embodiments, the controller 50 may be one or more, and the controller 50 may be set in at least one of the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20, or may be set independently of the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20, which is not limited here.

[0055] In some embodiments, the controller 50 includes at least a processor 501, a memory 502, a communication interface (not shown), and an I / O interface (not shown). The processor 501, the memory 502, the communication interface, and the I / O interface communicate via a bus. The processor 501 can be a central processing unit (CPU), and the processor can also be other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSP), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. Among them, the general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or the processor can also be any conventional processor, etc.

[0056] The memory 502 is equipped with various computer programs such as an operating system and application programs for the processor 501 to execute, as well as the data required to execute the computer programs. During the sample detection operation, if there is data that needs to be stored locally, it can be stored in the memory 502. The I / O interface includes but is not limited to serial interfaces such as USB, IEEE1394 or RS-232C, parallel interfaces such as SCSI, IDE or IEEE1284, and analog signal interfaces composed of D / A converters and converters. An input component is connected to the I / O interface, and the user can use the input component to directly input data to the controller 50. The input component includes but is not limited to a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen or control buttons. The display component can be connected to the controller 50 through the I / O interface to communicate with the controller 50 for relevant information prompts. The communication interface is an interface that can be any currently known communication protocol. The communication interface communicates with the outside world through a network. The controller 50 can transmit data between any component connected through the network using a preset communication protocol through the communication interface.

[0057] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is configured to implement the following method steps, specifically, the processor 501 of the controller 50 calls the computer program in the memory 502 to implement the following method steps: After detecting that a sample injection mechanism has been placed in a target sample container, controlling a scheduling mechanism in a target scheduling component to dispatch the target sample container to a scanning mechanism in the target scheduling component for scanning to determine sample information of the sample carried in the target sample container, wherein the target scheduling component is a scheduling component in which the sample injection mechanism placed in the sample container is located among the multiple scheduling components, and the sample information includes detection items of the sample; determining a target analysis module for the sample among at least two analysis modules according to the sample information; A target scheduling mechanism is determined from at least two scheduling mechanisms according to the sampling mechanism where the target analysis module and the target sample container are located, and the target scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container to the detection mechanism of the target analysis module.

[0058] For example, based on the fact that there are at least two sample injection mechanisms in the sample analysis system 100, the user can load samples in at least two different sample injection mechanisms, and the target detection mechanism corresponding to the sample loaded by each sample injection mechanism is at least one target detection mechanism in the sample analysis system. Therefore, in the technical solution provided in this application, in order to achieve high efficiency of sample analysis, After detecting that the sample injection mechanism of the sample analysis system is placed in the target sample container, the sample analysis system 100 controls the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component where the sample injection mechanism for loading the target sample container is located to dispatch the target sample container to the scanning mechanism of the target scheduling component for scanning, thereby achieving efficient acquisition of sample information corresponding to the sample carried in the target sample container.

[0059] Furthermore, a target analysis module of the sample is determined in at least two analysis modules according to the sample information; a target scheduling mechanism is determined from at least two scheduling mechanisms according to the sampling mechanism where the target analysis module and the target sample container are located, and the target scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container to the detection mechanism of the target analysis module, thereby ensuring that the target sample container can be accurately assigned to the target analysis module according to the sample information, thereby achieving efficient detection of the sample.

[0060] For ease of description, this embodiment is described by taking an example in which at least two analysis modules include a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20 .

[0061] After the target sample container is loaded into the first analysis module 10, the controller 50 controls the first scheduling component 122 to schedule the target sample container to the first scanning mechanism 120 for scanning to obtain sample information corresponding to the sample carried by the target sample container. This sample information includes at least information about the test project of the sample. The controller 50 then assigns a target analysis module to the target sample container based on the sample project information. The target analysis module includes at least one of the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20. In other words, the sample carried by the target sample container may only need to be tested in the first analysis module 10, only need to be tested in the second analysis module 20, or may need to be tested in both the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20.

[0062] Therefore, the controller 50 determines the target analysis module for testing the target sample container according to the acquired detection item information, and assigns a corresponding target scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container to the corresponding target analysis module for analysis.

[0063] That is, when the target sample container is loaded into the second sampling mechanism, the assigned target analysis module has the following detection requirements: Detection requirement 1: The target sample container is loaded into the second sample injection mechanism 221 , and only needs to be detected in the second analysis module 20 .

[0064] Testing requirement 2: The target sample container is loaded with the second sample introduction mechanism 221 , and only needs to be tested in the first analysis module 10 .

[0065] Detection requirement 3: The target sample container is loaded with the second sample injection mechanism 221 and needs to be detected in the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 at the same time.

[0066] The controller 50 allocates different target scheduling mechanisms according to different detection requirements, thereby ensuring that the target sample container can be efficiently and accurately analyzed in the sample analysis system.

[0067] For example, when the target sample container is loaded on the second injection mechanism 221 and only needs to be tested in the second analysis module 20, the controller 50 controls the target scheduling mechanism (such as the second scheduling mechanism 222) to schedule the target sample container from the second injection mechanism 221 to the second carrying mechanism 220, so that the second pipetting mechanism 212 of the second detection component 21 absorbs at least part of the target sample from the target sample container placed on the second carrying mechanism 220 and transfers it to the second detection mechanism 211 for detection.

[0068] For example, when the target sample container is loaded on the second injection mechanism 221 and only needs to be tested in the first analysis module 10, the controller 50 can control the target scheduling mechanism (such as the cascade scheduling mechanism 30) to schedule the target sample container to the first analysis module 10 for testing in the first analysis module 10.

[0069] For example, when a target sample container is loaded into the second sample injection mechanism 221 and needs to be tested in the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 at the same time, the controller 50 can control the target scheduling mechanism (e.g., the second scheduling mechanism 222 and the cascade scheduling mechanism 30) to first schedule the target sample container to the second analysis module 20 for testing, and then schedule it to the first analysis module 10 for testing after the testing in the second analysis module 20 is completed.

[0070] In some embodiments, the scheduling mechanism is used to schedule the sample containers loaded by the injection mechanism of the scheduling component within the scheduling component in which it is located. At least one of the scheduling mechanisms serves as a cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule the sample containers loaded by the injection mechanism between the respective scheduling components of the at least two analysis modules.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first scheduling mechanism 121 is used to schedule sample containers loaded from the first injection mechanism 121 within the first scheduling component 12, and the second scheduling mechanism 221 is used to schedule sample containers loaded from the second injection mechanism 221 within the second scheduling component 22, and at least one of the first scheduling mechanism 121 and the second scheduling mechanism 221 serves as a cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule sample containers between two different first analysis modules 10 and second analysis modules 20, so that the samples loaded from the first analysis module 10 can be detected in the second analysis module, and the samples loaded from the second analysis module 20 can be detected in the first analysis module 10.

[0072] In some embodiments, there are two analysis modules, and the controller 50 is further configured to: In the case where there are two target analysis modules, controlling the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component to schedule the target sample container in the injection mechanism in the target scheduling component for the pipetting mechanism in the analysis module where the target detection component is located to perform pipetting; The cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container after the pipetting is completed from the target scheduling component to a scheduling component in another target analysis module.

[0073] That is, when there are two target analysis modules, the controller 50 is further configured to: Controlling the target sample container scheduled by the target scheduling mechanism in the target analysis module where the target scheduling mechanism is located, so that the pipetting mechanism in the analysis module where the target scheduling mechanism is located transfers at least part of the sample in the target sample container to the detection mechanism where the target scheduling mechanism is located for detection to obtain a first detection result; Controlling the target dispatching mechanism to dispatch the target sample container after the transfer is completed from the current target analysis module to another target analysis module, so as to be detected by the detection mechanism of the other target analysis module to obtain a second detection result; The test result of the sample is obtained based on the first test result and the second test result. As shown in Figure 2, illustratively, when the target sample container needs to be tested in the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 respectively, the target sample container is first controlled to be tested in the analysis module corresponding to the sample injection mechanism, and then tested in the other analysis module, so that the test result corresponding to the sample can be obtained by comprehensive analysis based on the test results of the two analysis modules.

[0074] For example, if the target sample container is loaded with sample from the second sample injection mechanism 221 , the sample corresponding to the target sample container is first detected in the second analysis module 20 , and then dispatched to the first analysis module 10 for detection after the detection in the second analysis module 20 is completed.

[0075] During the detection process of the target sample container in the second analysis module 20, the target sample container can be dispatched to the second carrying mechanism 220 through the second dispatching mechanism 222 of the second analysis module 20, and then the second detection component 21 absorbs the sample in the target sample container through the second pipetting mechanism 212 and transfers it to the second detection mechanism 211 for detection.

[0076] After the second pipetting mechanism 212 completes the aspiration, the target sample container is dispatched by the second scheduling mechanism 222 to a preset position (e.g., the second injection mechanism 221 or a preset buffer area), and then the target sample container is dispatched to the first analysis module 10 through the cascade scheduling mechanism for detection in the first analysis module 10.

[0077] For example, the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the target sample container to the first carrying mechanism 120, so that the first detection component 11 detects the target sample container in the first carrying mechanism 120. Alternatively, the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the target sample container to a preset area in the first analysis module 10, so that the first scheduling mechanism 122 schedules the target sample container in the preset area to the first carrying mechanism 120, so that the first detection component 11 detects the target sample container in the first carrying mechanism 120. Alternatively, the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the target sample container to the first scheduling mechanism 122 in the first analysis module 10, so that the first scheduling mechanism 122 schedules the target sample container to the first carrying mechanism 120, so that the first detection component 11 detects the target sample container in the first carrying mechanism 120.

[0078] Based on the fact that the scheduling time required for the target sample container to perform detection in the analysis module where the sample is loaded is the shortest, when there are two target analysis modules, the target sample container can be preferentially scheduled to the target analysis module corresponding to the target sample container where the sample is loaded for analysis, and then scheduled to another target analysis module for analysis. This can effectively improve the time required for sample detection in the target sample container.

[0079] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is further configured to: when the target analysis module is single and the target analysis module is the analysis module where the target scheduling component is located, control the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component to schedule the target sample container in the injection mechanism in the target scheduling component for the pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module to perform pipetting; The scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component is controlled to schedule the target sample container after the pipetting is completed to the sampling mechanism of the target scheduling component for recovery.

[0080] That is, when the target analysis module is single, the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component is used as the target scheduling mechanism, and the target scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container in the injection mechanism in the target scheduling component, so that the pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module transfers at least part of the sample in the target sample container to the detection mechanism for detection; the target scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container after pipetting to the injection mechanism of the target scheduling component for recovery.

[0081] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is also used to: when the target analysis module is single and the target analysis module is not the analysis module where the target scheduling component is located, control the cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container to the scheduling component of the target analysis module, so that the target analysis module detects the target sample in the target sample container.

[0082] Exemplarily, when the target sample container is sampled from the second sampling mechanism 221 and the target analysis module is only the second analysis module, the second scheduling mechanism 222 is controlled to schedule the second sampling mechanism 221 to the second carrying mechanism 220 in the second scheduling component 22, so that the second pipetting mechanism 212 of the second detection component 21 can perform aspiration on the target sample container located at the second carrying mechanism 220, so as to absorb the sample in the target sample container and transfer it to the second detection mechanism 211 for detection.

[0083] When the target sample container is sampled from the second injection mechanism 221 and the target analysis module is only the first analysis module 10, the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container to the first scheduling component 11 in the first analysis module 10. After the target sample container arrives at the first analysis module 10, the target sample container is scheduled to the first carrying mechanism 120 by controlling the first scheduling mechanism 122, so that the first pipetting mechanism 112 of the first detection component 11 absorbs the sample carried by the target sample container in the first carrying mechanism 120 and transfers it to the first detection mechanism 111 for detection.

[0084] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is further configured to: when there are two target analysis modules, determine a corresponding waiting time for the target sample container to be tested on the two target analysis modules, wherein the waiting time includes a time interval from a current time point to a time point when a pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module pipets the sample in the sample container; In a case where the target analysis module with the shortest waiting time is the analysis module where the target sample container is located, the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component is used as the target scheduling mechanism, and the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component is controlled to schedule the target sample container in the target scheduling component so that the pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module can pipette the sample in the target sample container; and after the pipetting is completed, the target scheduling mechanism is switched to a cascade scheduling mechanism, and the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container after pipetting from the target scheduling component to a scheduling component in another target analysis module; When the target analysis module with the shortest waiting time is not the analysis module where the target sample container is located, the cascade scheduling mechanism is used as the target scheduling mechanism, and the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container to another scheduling component. After the pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module corresponding to the other scheduling component completes the pipetting, the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container back to the target scheduling component.

[0085] For example, when the target analysis module corresponding to the target sample container includes a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20, the controller 50 needs to determine a waiting time for the target sample container to be tested on the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20. The waiting time includes the time interval from the current time point to the time point when the pipetting mechanism in the target analysis module pipettes the sample in the target sample container.

[0086] For example, if the waiting time of the first analysis module 10 is longer than that of the second analysis module, the target sample container is preferentially dispatched to the second analysis module 20 for testing. Since the target sample container is loaded from the second analysis module 20, the second dispatching mechanism 222 can be controlled to dispatch the target sample container to the second carrying mechanism 220, allowing the second pipetting mechanism 212 to aspirate the target sample container in the second carrying mechanism 220 and transfer it to the second testing mechanism 221 for testing.

[0087] After the second pipetting mechanism 212 completes the aspiration, the second scheduling mechanism 222 schedules the target sample container to a preset position (e.g., a second injection mechanism or a buffer area), so that the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the target sample container that has completed the pipetting to the first scheduling component 12 of the first analysis module 10, so that the first detection component 11 can detect the target sample in the first scheduling component 12.

[0088] For another example, when the waiting time of the first analysis module 10 is shorter than the waiting time of the second analysis module, the target sample container is preferentially dispatched to the first analysis module 10 for testing. Since the target sample container is loaded from the second analysis module 20, the target sample container can be dispatched to the first analysis module 10 by controlling the cascade dispatch mechanism, so that the first dispatch mechanism of the first analysis module 10 dispatches the target sample container to the first carrying mechanism 120, so that the first pipetting mechanism 112 of the first detection assembly 11 aspirates the sample carried by the target sample container in the first carrying mechanism 120 and transfers it to the first detection mechanism 111 for testing.

[0089] Among them, after the first pipetting mechanism 112 completes the liquid aspiration operation on the target sample container, the cascade scheduling mechanism schedules the sample container back to the second scheduling component 22 of the second analysis module, so that the second detection component 21 detects the target sample in the target sample container in the second scheduling component 22.

[0090] By determining the waiting time of the two analysis modules and using the analysis module with the shortest waiting time to perform detection on the target sample first, the time for sample analysis can be effectively saved.

[0091] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is further configured to: after the target sample container is dispatched from the target scheduling component to another scheduling component, generate a detection task corresponding to the target analysis module currently located according to the sample information of the target sample container; The target analysis module where the target sample container is currently located is controlled according to the detection task to detect the sample in the target sample container.

[0092] Exemplarily, after the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 schedules the target sample container from the first analysis module 10 to the second analysis module 20, the controller 50 confirms that the target sample container has entered the second analysis module 20, and generates a detection task for controlling the second analysis module 20 to detect the target sample container, and includes the detection task in the task list, so that the second analysis module 20 can be controlled in an orderly manner to perform detection on the sample in the target sample container according to the task information in the task list.

[0093] Alternatively, after the cascade scheduling mechanism 30 schedules the target sample container from the second analysis module 20 to the first analysis module 10, the controller 50 confirms that the target sample container has entered the first analysis module 10, and generates a detection task for controlling the first analysis module 10 to detect the target sample container, and includes the detection task in the task list, so that the first analysis module 10 can be controlled in an orderly manner to perform detection on the sample in the target sample container according to the task information in the task list.

[0094] In some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a transfer area, which is provided in one of the analysis modules, and the cascade scheduling mechanism is a scheduling mechanism in an analysis module in which a transfer area is not provided. The cascade scheduling mechanism can schedule sample containers between the scheduling component in which it is located and the transfer area. The controller is executed during the process of controlling the cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container to another scheduling component. That is, when the target analysis module to be tested is not the analysis module where the target sample container is located, the controller is executed during the process of controlling the target scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container to the detection component of the target analysis module for testing: Controlling the cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container from the target scheduling component to the transfer area of ​​another scheduling component, and controlling the scheduling mechanism in the other scheduling component to schedule the target sample container in the transfer area for the pipetting mechanism in the analysis module where the other scheduling component is located to perform pipetting, so as to transfer at least part of the sample in the target sample container to the detection mechanism where the analysis module is located for detection; And / or, control the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component to schedule the target sample container to the transfer area, control the cascade scheduling mechanism to schedule the target sample container in the transfer area to another scheduling component, so that the pipetting mechanism in the analysis module where the other scheduling component is located can transfer at least part of the sample in the target sample container to the detection mechanism where it is located for detection.

[0095] See also Figure 3 The sample analysis system 100 is also provided with a transfer mechanism 40, the transfer mechanism 40 forms a transfer area 401, and the transfer mechanism 40 is arranged in the first analysis module 10 or the second analysis module 20, wherein, when the transfer mechanism 40 is arranged in the first analysis module 10, the second scheduling mechanism 222 is a cascade scheduling mechanism, and the second scheduling mechanism 222 can perform sample container scheduling between the transfer area 401 of the transfer mechanism 40 and the second scheduling component 22.

[0096] For example, when the target sample container loaded from the second sampling mechanism 221 needs to be inspected in the first analysis module 10, the second scheduling mechanism 222 is controlled to dispatch the target sample container to the transfer area 401 of the first scheduling component 12, and the first scheduling mechanism 122 in the first scheduling component 12 is controlled to dispatch the target sample container in the transfer area 401 to the first carrying mechanism 120 of the first analysis module 10, so that the first pipetting mechanism 112 of the first analysis module 10 can aspirate the liquid and transfer it to the first detection mechanism 111 for detection.

[0097] And / or, after the target sample container completes the aspiration (also known as pipetting) detection in the first analysis module 10, the first scheduling mechanism 122 is controlled to schedule the target sample container to the transfer area 401 of the first analysis module 10, and the second scheduling mechanism 222 is controlled to schedule the target sample container in the transfer area 401 to the second scheduling component 22 of the second analysis module, so that the second detection component 21 detects the sample in the target sample container in the second scheduling component 22.

[0098] Optionally, each of the analysis modules is provided with a plurality of injection channels, and the transfer area is at least one of the injection channels.

[0099] For example, the first injection mechanism 121 of the first analysis module 10 is provided with a plurality of first injection channels 1211, and the second injection mechanism 221 of the second analysis module 20 is provided with a plurality of second injection channels 2211. When the transfer mechanism 40 is provided in the first analysis module 10, the transfer area 401 formed by the transfer mechanism 40 reuses at least one first injection channel 1211. When the transfer mechanism 40 is provided in the second analysis module 20, the transfer area 401 formed by the transfer mechanism 40 reuses at least one second injection channel 2211. See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the target sample container is placed in the transfer area and the cascade scheduling mechanism has a cascade scheduling task and a local scheduling task, the controller is configured to: Controlling the cascade scheduling mechanism to preferentially execute the cascade scheduling task, wherein the cascade scheduling task is a task of a scheduling component that schedules the target sample container from the transfer area to the target analysis module; After the cascade scheduling task is completed, the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to execute the local scheduling task, where the local scheduling task is a task for executing sample container scheduling in the analysis module where the cascade scheduling mechanism is located.

[0100] For example, taking the first scheduling mechanism 122 as a cascade scheduling mechanism, when the first scheduling mechanism 122 has a local scheduling task for performing scheduling within the first analysis module 10 and a cascade scheduling task for performing scheduling between the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20, the first scheduling mechanism 122 is controlled to complete the cascade scheduling task first, and after the cascade scheduling task is completed, the local scheduling task is executed.

[0101] For example, the first scheduling mechanism 122 has both a cascade scheduling task and a local scheduling task. The cascade scheduling task is to schedule the target sample container in the first scheduling mechanism 122 to the transfer area 401 of the second analysis module. The local scheduling task is to schedule the sample container in the first scheduling mechanism 122 to the first carrying mechanism 120. After the first scheduling mechanism completes the cascade scheduling task, the local scheduling task is executed.

[0102] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, when the target sample container is placed in the transfer area and the cascade scheduling mechanism has a cascade scheduling task and a scan scheduling task, the controller 50 is configured to: Controlling the cascade scheduling mechanism to preferentially execute the scanning scheduling task, wherein the scanning scheduling task is to schedule the sample container of the sampling mechanism in the analysis module where the cascade scheduling mechanism is located to the scanning mechanism of the analysis module for scanning, and then scheduling the scanned sample container to the detection component of the analysis module; After the scanning scheduling task is completed, the cascade scheduling mechanism is controlled to execute the cascade scheduling task, where the cascade scheduling task is a task of a scheduling component that schedules the target sample container from the transfer area to the target analysis module.

[0103] For example, taking the first scheduling mechanism 122 as a cascade scheduling mechanism, when the first scheduling mechanism 122 has a local scheduling task of executing scheduling within the first analysis module 10 and a scheduling task of performing scanning scheduling within the first analysis module 10, the first scheduling mechanism 122 is controlled to prioritize completing the scanning scheduling task to schedule the sample container in the first sampling mechanism 121 to the first scanning mechanism 123 for scanning, and after the sample container in the first sampling mechanism 121 is scanned, the cascade scheduling task of scheduling the target sample container to the transfer area 401 is executed.

[0104] During the sample analysis process, the sample container must first be dispatched to the scanning mechanism by the dispatching mechanism to obtain sample information of the sample placed in the sample container, so as to execute the subsequent target analysis module. Therefore, prioritizing the scanning task can effectively improve the efficiency of sample analysis.

[0105] In some embodiments, the detection components and scheduling components of the at least two analysis modules are arranged along a first horizontal direction, and the scheduling components of the at least two analysis modules are spliced ​​between the detection components of the at least two analysis modules, wherein the scheduling components of the at least two analysis modules schedule the sample containers independently of each other.

[0106] like Figure 2As shown, taking at least two analysis modules including a first analysis module 10 and a second analysis module 20 as an example, in order to achieve efficient scheduling of sample containers between the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20, the first detection component 11, the first scheduling component 12, the second scheduling component 22 and the second detection component 21 are arranged side by side in sequence along the first horizontal direction, and the first scheduling component 12 and the second scheduling component 22 are spliced ​​between the first detection component 11 and the second detection component 12.

[0107] In some embodiments, each analysis module further includes a shell having an accommodating space, and the detection component and scheduling component of each analysis module are accommodated in their respective shells, and the shells are provided with connecting parts, and the shells between two adjacent analysis modules are detachably connected through the connecting parts.

[0108] like Figure 1 As shown, the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 are detachably connected, wherein the detachable connection method includes: the first analysis module 10 also includes a first housing assembly 13, the first housing assembly 13 forms a first accommodating space, and the first scheduling assembly 12 and the first detection assembly 11 are accommodated in the first accommodating space. The second analysis module 20 also includes a second housing assembly 23, the second housing assembly 23 forms a second accommodating space, and the second scheduling assembly 22 and the second detection assembly 21 are accommodated in the second accommodating space, wherein the first housing assembly 13 is provided with a first connecting structure, and the second housing assembly 23 is provided with a second connecting structure, and the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are detachably connected.

[0109] It can be understood that the first connection structure and the second connection structure can be a threaded connection structure or a snap connection structure, as long as a detachable connection between the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 can be achieved. Moreover, after the first analysis module 10 and the second analysis module 20 are disassembled and separated, sample analysis can be performed independently.

[0110] In some embodiments, the controller 50 is configured to: After detecting that the sample injection mechanism is placed in a target sample container, controlling the scheduling mechanism in the target scheduling component to dispatch the target sample container to the scanning mechanism in the target scheduling component for scanning to determine sample information of the sample carried in the target sample container, wherein the target scheduling component is the scheduling component where the sample injection mechanism placed in the sample container is located among the multiple scheduling components, and the sample information includes the detection items of the sample; determining a target detection component for the sample from at least two of the detection components according to the sample information; A target scheduling mechanism is determined from the at least two scheduling mechanisms according to the detection component and the target sample introduction mechanism, and the target scheduling mechanism is controlled to schedule the target sample container to the target detection mechanism.

[0111] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can clearly understand that for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the controller described above can refer to the corresponding working process of the controller described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] The following will describe the sample scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the working principle of the sample analysis system 100.

[0113] The embodiment of the present application also provides a sample scheduling method, which is applied to the aforementioned sample analyzer system 100.
