Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an intelligent medical testing device, system, and method. Background Technology

[0002] Biochemical testing devices, typically referring to biochemical analyzers, are indispensable "analytical masters" in modern medical and life science research. Their core task is to perform rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of various chemical components in bodily fluids such as blood and urine, providing crucial data for disease diagnosis, treatment efficacy evaluation, and health monitoring.

[0003] Biochemical analyzers are automated devices based on photochemical detection principles (such as absorbance and turbidity). They automate all the tedious steps of traditional manual operations, such as sampling, adding reagents, mixing, incubation, detection, and cleaning.

[0004] Existing biochemical detection devices mostly use a rotating disk structure in conjunction with a sampling needle to achieve parameter detection. Each rotating disk has an independent drive mechanism, which is relatively complex, has many parts, and occupies a large space. See the invention patent with publication number CN116106218A, entitled "Biochemical Detector".

[0005] Another solution, such as the invention with publication number CN108717113B, discloses a biochemical analyzer with a relatively complex test tube rack; The structures of the above-mentioned models are all relatively complex and lack portability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of intelligent medical detection device, system and method. Summary of the Invention

The sample needle actuation module is used to draw or inject liquid from each liquid storage unit, and also to transfer liquid between two different liquid storage units; liquid drawing or injection is achieved through a micro liquid pump.

[0021] The liquid storage unit includes sample liquid tubes, reagent tubes, reaction cell, colorimetric cell, clear water tank, reagent tubes, and waste liquid tank; The detection module is used to detect the value of the parameter to be tested from the reaction vessel.

[0022] The sample needle action module includes a sample needle holder 7, a column 11, a swing arm 8, a swing arm rotation and lifting drive mechanism, and a sample needle 12; The sample needle holder is fixed on the machine platform; the column is installed vertically on the sample needle holder, and the first end of the swing arm is installed horizontally on the column; a vertical sample needle is provided on the lower side of the second end of the swing arm; the swing arm rotation and lifting drive mechanism is used to drive the swing arm and sample needle to rotate and lift.

[0023] At least one reagent tube, a sample liquid tube located at the detection position, a colorimetric cell, a clear water cell, and a waste liquid cell are all equally distributed around the circumference of the column; the distances from the reagent tube, the sample liquid tube located at the detection position, the colorimetric cell, the clear water cell, and the waste liquid cell to the center line of the column are equal to the distances from the sample needle to the center line of the column.

[0024] The machine is square, and the conveyor belt is set along the length of the machine.

[0025] It also includes a controller, and the detection module, conveyor belt and sample needle action module are all controlled by the controller.

[0026] There are 4 reagent tubes, plus other liquid storage units, for a total of 8 points.

[0027] An intelligent medical testing system includes a sample tube loading device, a testing device, and a sample tube retrieval device; The detection device is the aforementioned intelligent medical detection device; The sample tube loading device is used to load sample tubes onto the front end of the conveyor belt of the detection device; The sample tube retrieval device is used to retrieve sample tubes that have completed testing from the end of the conveyor belt.

[0028] It also includes a waste liquid treatment device that promptly discharges and treats the waste liquid in a harmless manner, which is a mature existing technology.

[0029] The sample tube loading device and sample tube retrieval device can be based on a robotic arm, which is an existing technology.

[0030] A medical testing method, using the aforementioned intelligent medical testing system, to test the sample liquid in a sample tube; The steps are as follows: First, multiple sample tubes are loaded onto the front end of the conveyor belt of the detection device using the sample tube loading device. Then, the detection device sequentially tests the samples in the multiple sample tubes and outputs the test results. After the test is completed, the sample tube retrieval device sequentially retrieves the sample tubes that have completed the test from the tail end of the conveyor belt (the retrieved sample tubes can be reused after subsequent cleaning, disinfection and other operations).

[0031] The detection module is connected to the colorimetric cell (used to analyze various substances from the colorimetric cell; the specific inspection method is based on existing technology). The sampling and dispensing module includes a sample needle holder 7, a column 11, a swing arm 8, and a sample needle 12. The column is fixed to the sample needle holder.

[0032] The detection module is based on a colorimetric cell and a filter wheel.

[0033] The phototube (photoelectric switch) is used to locate whether the sample tube has reached the detection position. The sample needle control module controls the sample needle to be exactly above each container (liquid storage unit) through precise rotation control, so as to carry out liquid injection and liquid aspiration operations. The colorimetric cell has a filter wheel with eight different filters for detecting multiple parameters, enabling it to perform multiple functions in one machine.

[0034] Working Process Description: The sampling needle draws sample liquid from the sample liquid tube and injects it into the reaction cell. Then, it draws reagents from one or more reagent tubes and injects them into the reaction cell. The needle needs to be cleaned after each step. After the last reagent is drawn and expelled, the needle completes the aspiration and regurgitation mixing in the reaction cell. After the reaction time, the reaction solution is drawn and pumped into the colorimetric cell of the detection module to complete the detection. The colorimetric cell is cleaned after detection. This device can test the content of different elements in a sample. When the reaction solution enters the colorimetric cell, there is a filter wheel with eight different filters. Light passes through different filters and then through different reaction solutions, and is received by the optical sensor. This signal reflects the content of a certain element in the reaction solution. (The colorimetric cell, filters, filter wheel, and specific detection device and process are existing mature technologies; related technologies can be found in CN206594050U, "A Food Safety Detection Module").
