[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a reagent kit loading and unloading device is a part of the sample analyzer 1, which is used to load the reagent kit into the reagent tray 2 of the sample analyzer 1 or unload the reagent kit from the reagent tray 2, so as to realize automatic loading and unloading of the reagent kit and automatic continuous operation of the sample analyzer, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0025] In an embodiment of the utility model, the reagent kit is used to store detection reagents. When performing the reagent kit loading and unloading operation, the operator places the reagent kit into the reagent kit loading and unloading device, and the reagent kit loading and unloading device loads the reagent kit containing the detection reagent into the reagent tray. The sample analyzer absorbs the detection reagent in the reagent kit to analyze and detect the sample. After the reagent in the reagent kit is absorbed, the empty reagent kit in the reagent tray is unloaded by the reagent kit loading and unloading device.

[0026] Specifically, the reagent kit loading and unloading device includes a reagent loading tray 3, which is used to put in or take out the reagent kit; a manipulator 4, which is used to load the reagent kit in the reagent loading tray 3 into the reagent tray 2 or unload the empty reagent kit in the reagent tray 2 into the reagent loading tray 3; a hatch 5, which is arranged on one side of the reagent loading tray 3, and is used to open and close the operating position of the reagent loading tray 3.

[0027] The utility model forms a protective device for the reagent loading tray by arranging a hatch on one side of the reagent loading tray. By controlling the opening and closing of the hatch, the operating position of the reagent loading tray can be effectively opened or closed. After the hatch is closed, accidental injuries to operators caused by the reagent loading tray during work can be effectively avoided; at the same time, it is convenient for operators to put or take out the reagent kit from the reagent loading tray at the operating position.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an operating platform 6 and a hatch 7; the reagent loading tray 3, the hatch 5, the manipulator 4 and the hatch 7 are all installed on the operating platform 6; wherein the manipulator 4 is installed in the hatch 7; the reagent loading tray 3 can be moved out of the hatch 7 or returned to the hatch 7; the hatch 5 is rotatably installed on one side of the operating position. It can be understood that the reagent loading tray 3 is moved out of the hatch 7 to form an operating position for inserting or removing the reagent reagent, and the reagent loading tray 3 is returned to the hatch 7 to form a loading or unloading position for the reagent reagent;

[0029] Furthermore, the operating platform 6 has an operating side A for operators to put in or take out the reagent box, and the manipulator 4 is arranged on the side of the reagent loading tray 3 away from the operating side A. It is understandable that when the sample analyzer 1 is placed, the operating side A is usually facing outward, which is convenient for operators to take in and put in the reagent box.

[0030] The reagent loading tray 3 of the utility model can be set as one or more; in one embodiment, two reagent loading trays 3 are provided, and the two reagent loading trays 3 are independent of each other, forming an inner and outer tray structure relative to the inner and outer spaces of the hatch 7; the two reagent loading trays 3 have two independent drive systems, so that the two reagent loading trays 3 can perform synchronous rotation movement; when the reagent loading tray 3 facing the operator rotates into the hatch 7 to load the reagent kit, the reagent loading tray 3 inside the hatch 7 rotates to the outside of the hatch 7 at the same time, so that the operator can take away the empty reagent kit from the external reagent loading tray 3 or put in the reagent kit filled with reagents while the internal reagent loading tray 3 is loading the reagent kit.

[0031] The utility model designs two independent reagent loading trays, and the operations of the operator loading the reagent kit and the manipulator loading or unloading the reagent kit are performed synchronously, which not only meets the requirements of continuous loading but also takes into account the safety protection performance, greatly improving the user experience and the safety of the instrument.

[0032] Furthermore, a control component is also provided on the operating platform 6, and the control component is provided on the operating platform 6 between the hatch 5 and the operating side A, and is used to send a reagent reagent loading start signal or a reagent reagent loading end signal to the control system; the control system can start the opening and closing of the hatch 5 according to the signal, so as to facilitate the operator to add or remove the reagent reagent from the reagent loading tray 3. The operator directly drives the opening and closing of the hatch 5 through the control component to complete the addition or removal of the reagent reagent, and the operator does not need to return to the control system for processing, which simplifies the operator's operating steps and is convenient for the operator to use.

[0033] It is understandable that the control component can be electrically connected to the control system or wirelessly connected; the control system is a control host of the sample analyzer, such as a computer, which is used to control the automatic operation of the sample analyzer.

[0034] The control components include but are not limited to operating buttons, push switches, sliding switches or operating screens, and may also be other structures that can control the opening and closing of the cabin door.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control components are two operating buttons, namely, a reagent kit loading start button 8 and a reagent kit loading end button 9; after pressing the reagent kit loading start button 8, the reagent kit loading start signal can be transmitted to the control system, the control system controls the cabin door 5 to open, the operator takes out the empty reagent kit on the reagent loading tray 3, and then puts in the reagent kit filled with reagents, and continues to press the reagent kit loading start button 8. After the cabin door 5 is slowly closed, the external reagent loading tray 3 rotates inwardly, and at the same time, the internal reagent loading tray 3 rotates to the outside. After the internal reagent loading tray 3 rotates to the outside, the cabin door 5 is opened again, and the operator can continue to take out or put in the reagent kit outside, and at the same time, the manipulator 4 performs the loading or unloading operation of the reagent kit inside; when all reagent kits are loaded, press the reagent kit loading end button 9, the cabin door 5 is closed, and the reagent kit loading operation is ended.

[0036] The utility model can effectively avoid accidental injuries to operators during the rotation of the reagent loading tray when the hatch is in a closed state when the reagent loading tray is rotating.

[0037] Specifically, the utility model uses an embodiment of setting two reagent loading trays to illustrate the loading operation process of the reagent kit, and the specific process is as follows:

[0038] When the sample analyzer is in standby mode, the door is closed by default. When the operator needs to load a reagent kit onto the reagent loading tray, he presses the reagent kit loading start button, the door automatically rotates open, and the reagent loading tray completely exposes the operating position. The operator manually puts the reagent kit into the reagent loading tray. Since the number of reagent kits to be loaded each time is different, the operator determines the next operation based on whether to continue loading; when there are no more reagent kits to be loaded after this loading, press the reagent kit loading end button, the door will automatically close slowly, and the two reagent loading trays will begin to rotate synchronously. The external reagent loading tray carrying the reagent kit rotates inward to the robot grabbing position in the hatch, and the robot begins to transfer the reagent kit to the reagent tray, completing the loading process of the reagent kit. At the same time, the internal reagent loading tray rotates outward to the operating position and waits for the next loading instruction. It should be understood that at this time, the door will always be in a closed state. , until the next loading instruction; when the reagent kit still needs to be loaded after this loading, continue to press the reagent kit loading start button, and the hatch will also automatically close slowly. After the hatch is closed, the external reagent loading tray carrying the reagent kit rotates inward to the robot grabbing position in the hatch cover, and the robot begins to transfer the reagent kit to the reagent tray to complete the loading process of the reagent kit. At the same time, the internal reagent loading tray rotates outward to the operating position. After it is in place, the hatch will automatically open and the operator can continue to load the reagent kit; it should be noted that during multiple continuous loading processes, while the operator is performing the loading operation, the robot is also synchronously transferring the reagent kit on another reagent loading tray to the reagent tray. The two are independent and performed simultaneously, and this cycle continues until there is no reagent kit to be loaded. After the last round of reagent kit loading, press the reagent kit loading end button. After that, the hatch will not open automatically after closing until the next loading command.

[0039] Obviously, the total time for the manipulator to transfer all the reagent kits on the internal reagent loading tray to the reagent tray needs to be less than the time for the operator to put the reagent kits into the external reagent loading tray. In this way, the waiting time for the operator to load continuously will be greatly shortened, and the waiting time is only the time for the hatch to close, the two reagent loading trays to switch, and the hatch to open again. During this waiting time, the hatch is always closed, and the switching of the reagent loading tray will not cause unnecessary harm to the operator. At the same time, the manipulator inside the sample analyzer only grabs the reagent loading tray that is rotated inside, and the operator cannot directly contact the manipulator area. When the hatch is opened again, the reagent loading tray exposed outside waiting to be loaded with the reagent kit is always fixed, thus ensuring the safety of the operator's loading of the reagent kit.

[0040] A sample analyzer comprises the reagent kit loading and unloading device mentioned above.

[0041] The sample analyzer of the utility model integrates the function of automatic reagent loading and unloading, and solves the protection problem of operators when loading the reagent kit by setting the hatch; the reagent kit is manually loaded into the reagent loading tray by the operator, and then the reagent kit is automatically loaded from the reagent loading tray to the reagent tray by the manipulator, and the manual loading of the reagent kit in the reagent loading tray and the loading of the reagent kit by the manipulator are carried out simultaneously, in order to avoid unnecessary harm to the operator by the reagent loading tray during the working process, a hatch structure is provided on one side of the reagent loading tray, so that the operator can safely carry out the reagent kit loading operation, and the manipulator can also carry out the synchronous reagent loading operation; the protection problem of the operator is effectively solved.

[0042] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
