[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0019] The various specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, for example, different embodiments and technical solutions can be formed by combining different specific technical features. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the utility model will not be described separately.

[0020] In the following description, the terms "first\second\..." are only used to distinguish different objects, and do not mean that the objects have the same or related points. It should be understood that the directions "above", "below", "outside" and "inside" are all directions in normal use, and the directions "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the specific corresponding schematic diagrams, which may be the left and right directions in normal use or not.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element. "Multiple" means greater than or equal to two.

[0022] The embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, which includes a first sample analysis module and a second sample analysis module. Before introducing the sample analysis system of the embodiment of the present invention, the sample analysis module targeted by the embodiment of the present invention is first introduced.

[0023] The sample analysis module is used to detect and analyze the sample to output the detection result, which may include a scheduling device and a detection device. The scheduling device may include an injection component for users to put into the sample rack and a scheduling mechanism.

[0024] The detection and analysis here can be biochemical analysis, immunological analysis, or any other type of analysis. The full name of biochemical analysis is biochemical analysis, and its main analysis content is the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the main substances and metabolites involved in the body's metabolic process; the full name of immunological analysis is immunological analysis, and its analysis targets are the qualitative and quantitative analysis of humoral immune substances involved in immune response, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various immune cells involved in cellular immunity, and the qualitative analysis of cytokines involved in immune response.

[0025] The samples here include but are not limited to blood, urine, etc. In clinical practice, doctors collect samples to be tested from patients and store them in sample tubes (such as test tubes). The sample tubes can be transported via sample racks. It should be noted here that the sample rack can be a sample rack with only one position for placing sample test tubes, and only one sample test tube can be transported at a time, or it can be a sample rack that can hold multiple sample test tubes, and multiple sample test tubes can be transported at a time.

[0026] The injection assembly is used for users to put the sample into the above-mentioned sample rack. As an example, the injection assembly can be a channel-shaped structure surrounded by multiple baffle structures, and its end facing the user can have an opening, and the user can put the sample into the sample rack through the opening.

[0027] The dispatch mechanism is used to dispatch the sample rack to the detection device for detection and analysis. As an example, the dispatch mechanism may include, for example, a dispatch vehicle, which can carry the sample rack and can operate in the sample analysis module according to a preset operation logic, thereby realizing the scheduling of the sample rack.

[0028] The specific structure of the detection device can be determined according to the specific detection and analysis items to be completed, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The sample analysis system may include multiple different sample analysis modules, and the multiple different sample analysis modules may be cascaded so that samples can flow between different sample analysis modules, thereby enabling pipeline processing of samples. Taking two adjacent sample analysis modules as an example, the side walls of the two adjacent sample analysis modules may be arranged toward each other, and optionally, the two side walls may be mechanically mounted and fixed, and the sample rack in one sample analysis module may be dispatched to another adjacent sample analysis module for detection and analysis, thereby forming a cascade. This usage mode of the sample analysis module is hereinafter referred to as a cascade assembly mode.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A first aspect of an embodiment of the utility model provides a sample analysis system, which includes a first sample analysis module 1 and a second sample analysis module 2, and the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 are arranged side by side along a first direction.

[0031] The first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 can be used to perform different types of detection and analysis on the sample. As an example, one of the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 can include a biochemical analysis module, and the other can include an immunoassay module. Obviously, the configuration of the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 is not limited thereto. In addition, the sample analysis system can also include more sample analysis modules other than the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2. The configuration of other sample analysis modules can refer to the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0032] The first sample analysis module 1 includes a first scheduling device 11 and a first detection device 12. The first scheduling device 11 includes a first channel 111 for users to put sample racks and a first scheduling mechanism 112. The first scheduling mechanism 112 is used to schedule the sample rack in the first channel 111 to the first detection device 12 for detection.

[0033] The second sample analysis module 2 includes a second scheduling device 21 and a second detection device 22. The second scheduling device 21 includes a second channel 211 for users to put sample racks and a second scheduling mechanism 212. The second scheduling mechanism 212 is used to schedule the sample rack in the second channel 211 to the second detection device 22 for detection.

[0034] As an example, see Figure 2The first sample analysis module 1 may include a first rack 14, the first rack 14 includes a first side wall 141, the second sample analysis module 2 may include a second rack 23, the second rack 23 includes a second side wall 231, the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 231 face each other, the first scheduling device 11 may be set in the first rack 14, and the second scheduling device 21 may be set in the second rack 23.

[0035] The first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 212 can work independently of each other. Working independently here means that the first scheduling mechanism 112 can realize the scheduling of the sample rack in the first sample analysis module 1 without the help of the second scheduling mechanism 212, and the second scheduling mechanism 212 can also realize the scheduling of the sample rack in the second sample analysis module 2 without the help of the first scheduling mechanism 112. Of course, in some embodiments, in addition to the working mode of working independently of each other, the scheduling mechanisms of each sample analysis module can also be linked with each other to jointly realize the scheduling of the sample rack between different sample analysis modules.

[0036] The first scheduling device 11 further includes a third channel 113 for placing a sample rack, the third channel 113 and the first channel 111 are arranged along the first direction, and the third channel 113 and the first channel 111 extend in the same direction. The sample rack placed in the third channel 113 can be scheduled to the second sample analysis module 2, and / or the sample rack of the second sample analysis module 2 can be scheduled to the third channel 113, thereby realizing the cascade of the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2.

[0037] It should be noted that the sample rack placed in the third channel 113 here may refer to the sample rack being directly placed in the third channel 113, or may refer to the sample rack being placed on other structures (such as the first scheduling mechanism 112 or the second scheduling mechanism 212), and the structure is in the third channel 113 or at least passes through the third channel 113 during movement.

[0038] In actual use, the user can put the sample rack into the first channel 111, and the first scheduling mechanism 112 can schedule the sample rack to the first detection device 12 for detection and analysis, and then the first scheduling mechanism 112 and / or the second scheduling mechanism 212 can schedule the sample rack to the second detection device 22 for analysis via the third channel 113. Alternatively, the user can put the sample rack into the second channel 211, and the second scheduling mechanism 212 can schedule the sample rack to the second detection device 22 for detection, and then the first scheduling mechanism 112 and / or the second scheduling mechanism 212 can schedule the sample rack to the first detection device 12 for detection via the third channel 113. In this way, the user only needs to perform a sample placement operation once to achieve detection and analysis of the sample at both detection devices.

[0039] As an example, the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 231 may both have openings (not shown in the figure), and the two openings may be connected to form a through opening (not shown in the figure), which is used for the first scheduling mechanism 112 and / or the second scheduling mechanism 212 to pass through, so that the sample rack placed in the third channel 113 can be scheduled between the two sample analysis modules.

[0040] Optionally, the third channel 113 can be located on the movement path of the first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 212, so that the third channel 113 is in a common scheduling area of ​​the first scheduling mechanism 112 and the second scheduling mechanism 212, thereby achieving that the sample rack placed in the third channel 113 can be scheduled to the second sample analysis module 2, and / or the sample rack of the second sample analysis module 2 can be scheduled to the third channel 113.

[0041] Optionally, the first dispatching mechanism 112 is specifically used to dispatch the sample rack inside the first sample analysis module 1 to the third channel 113 for caching, and the second dispatching mechanism 212 is also used to dispatch the sample rack cached in the third channel 113 to the second detection device 22 for detection. That is to say, the third channel 113 can be used as a transfer channel between the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2. Obviously, those skilled in the art can understand that in some other embodiments, the sample rack may not be cached in the third channel 113, but only pass through the third channel 113 during dispatch.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific manner in which the sample rack placed in the third channel 113 can be dispatched to the second sample analysis module 2, and / or the sample rack of the second sample analysis module 2 can be dispatched to the third channel 113 is not limited thereto. For example, a transfer mechanism may be provided in the third channel 113, and the transfer mechanism may enter the second sample analysis module 2 through the above-mentioned opening. For another example, the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 231 may not have openings, and the first dispatching mechanism 112 and / or the second dispatching mechanism 212 may enter another sample analysis module via other paths (such as via an external track).

[0043] In practice, it is found that since the first channel 111 and the third channel 113 are arranged along the first direction and extend in the same direction, during actual use, the user may put the sample rack into the third channel 113 due to operational errors, resulting in the space in the third channel 113 being occupied, and the sample rack may not be able to be dispatched between the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2.

[0044] To this end, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The first sample analysis module 1 further includes a shielding member 13 , which is at least partially movably or detachably disposed inside the third channel 113 or at the entrance side of the third channel 113 to prevent the user from placing a sample rack into the third channel 113 .

[0045] In this way, it is possible to prevent the user from placing the sample rack into the third channel 113 due to misoperation, which results in the sample rack being unable to be dispatched between the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 .

[0046] Furthermore, in some usage scenarios, the first sample analysis module 1 may be used in a stand-alone mode, that is, the sample does not need to be scheduled between the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2, but only needs to be scheduled within the first sample analysis module 1. At this time, the shielding member 13 can be removed or moved to other positions to allow the user to place the sample rack into the third channel 113. Therefore, when the first sample analysis module 1 is used in a stand-alone mode, both the first channel 111 and the third channel 113 can be placed in the sample rack, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0047] The specific structure of the shielding member 13 is not limited. For example, the shielding member 13 can be in the shape of a plate, a mesh, a grid, a rod, etc., as long as it can prevent the user from placing the sample rack into the third channel 113.

[0048] It should be noted that, according to actual use requirements, the second sample analysis module 2 may also be provided with a fourth channel similar to the third channel 113. As an example, the fourth channel may be arranged along the first direction with the second channel 211, and the fourth channel and the second channel 211 extend in the same direction. The sample rack placed in the fourth channel can be dispatched to the first sample analysis module 1, and / or the sample rack of the first sample analysis module 1 can be dispatched to the fourth channel, thereby realizing the cascade of the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2.

[0049] In this case, the second sample analysis module 2 may include a second shielding member, which is at least partially movably or detachably disposed inside the fourth channel or at the entrance side of the fourth channel to prevent the user from inserting the sample rack into the fourth channel. The specific arrangement of the fourth channel and the second shielding member may refer to the third channel 113 and the shielding member 13, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In some embodiments, still refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The first channel 111, the second channel 211 and the third channel 113 all extend along the second direction, and the shielding member 13 is disposed at the entrance side of the third channel 113 along the second direction.

[0051] The second direction here intersects with the first direction. As an example, the second direction may be orthogonal to the first direction, and the second direction may be perpendicular to the user's operating surface (the user operating surface here refers to an abstract plane where the user is actually operating). Of course, the second direction may also be at an acute angle or diagonal to the first direction, and the second direction may also be at an acute angle or obtuse angle to the user's operating surface.

[0052] It should be noted that the definitions of the first direction and the second direction involved in other parts below will continue to use the definitions given here, and will not be repeated in the relevant parts below.

[0053] In some embodiments, the inlet sides of the first channel 111 , the second channel 211 , and the third channel 113 are located on the same side in the second direction, so that it is convenient for users to put in the sample rack.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to the figure as described above, the first sample analysis module 1 may include a first rack 14, the first rack 14 includes a first side wall 141, the second sample analysis module 2 may include a second rack 23, the second rack 23 includes a second side wall 231, and the first side wall 141 and the second side wall 231 face each other.

[0055] The third channel 113 is arranged close to the first side wall 141. The first sample analysis module 1 also includes a first surface shell 15, which is detachably connected to one side of the frame along the second direction and is located at one end of the first frame 14 close to the first side wall 141. The shielding member 13 is connected to the first surface shell 15, and the shielding member 13 and the first surface shell 15 together constitute a first surface shell 15 assembly.

[0056] The first surface shell 15 here is used as a panel around the first channel 111 and the third channel 113, and it mainly plays a decorative role to prevent the rack from being exposed to the outside and affecting the appearance. The specific shape of the first surface shell 15 can be determined according to the specific structure of the first channel 111 and the third channel 113 and actual decoration requirements, and there is no limitation on this.

[0057] In this embodiment, the third channel 113 is disposed close to the first side wall 141, that is, close to the second sample analysis module 2, so that the travel of the sample rack between the first sample analysis module 1 and the second sample analysis module 2 via the third channel 113 can be shortened. On the other hand, the shielding member 13 is connected to the first face shell 15, so that it is convenient to position the shielding member 13 when installing and removing it, so as to avoid blocking the first channel 111 and / or the second channel 211 due to assembly errors.

[0058] In some embodiments, the shielding member 13 and the first housing 15 are integrally formed, so that the shielding member 13 can be installed or removed by installing or removing the first housing 15, thereby reducing the probability of assembly errors. Obviously, the shielding member 13 and the first housing 15 may not be integrally formed, but may be connected by bonding, welding, screwing, etc.

[0059] In some implementations, see Figure 5 The first sample analysis module 1 also includes a second surface shell 16. The first surface shell 15 and the second surface shell 16 can be replaceably connected to the same installation position of the first rack 14. When the first sample analysis module 1 needs to be used in cascade with the second sample analysis module 2, the first surface shell 15 can be installed to the first rack 14 so that the shielding member 13 blocks the third channel 113. When the first sample analysis module 1 needs to be operated in stand-alone mode, the first surface shell 15 can be removed and the second surface shell 16 can be installed to the first rack 14, thereby allowing the user to place a sample rack into the third channel 113. As mentioned above, this will be able to improve the injection efficiency of the first sample analysis module 1 in stand-alone mode.

[0060] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a sample analyzer, which can be used independently or in cascade with other sample analyzers (for example, used as the first sample analysis module 1 in the sample analysis system). As an example, the sample analyzer can be an immunoassay analyzer or a biochemical analyzer.

[0061] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The sample analyzer 3 includes a frame 31 , a scheduling device 32 , a detection device 33 , a first surface shell component 34 and a second surface shell 35 .

[0062] The scheduling device 32 and the detection device 33 are arranged in the frame 31. The scheduling device 32 includes a first channel 321 for users to place sample racks, a second channel 322 for placing sample racks, and a scheduling mechanism (not shown in the figure). The second channel 322 and the first channel 321 are arranged along a first direction, and the second channel 322 has the same extension direction as the first channel 321. The scheduling mechanism is used to schedule the sample racks in the first channel 311 and the second channel 322 to the detection device 33 for detection and analysis.

[0063] The first face shell assembly 34 includes a first face shell 341 and a shielding member 342 connected to the first face shell 341. The scheduling device 32 is arranged near the first face shell assembly 34 or the second face shell 35. Therefore, when the sample analyzer 3 is used in cascade with other sample analyzers, the sample rack in the second channel 322 can be scheduled to other sample analyzers, and / or the sample racks of other sample analyzers can be scheduled to the second channel 322. The specific implementation method of scheduling the sample racks in the second channel 322 between different sample analyzers can refer to the description of the relevant parts above (such as the second channel 322 can correspond to the third channel 113 of the first sample analysis module 11 in the sample analysis system), which will not be repeated here.

[0064] The first cover assembly 34 and the second cover assembly 35 can be interchangeably connected to the same mounting position of the rack. Figure 6 When the first housing assembly 34 is detachably connected to the frame, the shielding member 342 extends into the interior of the second channel 322 or the entrance side of the second channel 322 to prevent the user from inserting the sample rack into the second channel 322. Figure 7 When the second surface shell 35 is detachably connected to the frame, the second channel 322 is open to the user so that the user can put the sample rack into the second channel 322 .

[0065] In this embodiment, when the sample analyzer 3 is used in a stand-alone mode, the second cover 35 can be connected to the rack, so that both the first channel 321 and the second channel 322 can be used for sample injection, thereby improving the injection efficiency. When the sample analyzer 3 is used in cascade with other sample analyzers (such as when used as a first sample analysis module in a sample analysis system), the first cover assembly 34 can be connected to the rack to prevent the user from inserting a sample rack into the second channel 322, thereby preventing the user from inserting a sample rack into the second channel 322 due to misoperation, thereby preventing the sample rack from being dispatched between the two sample analyzers via the second channel 322.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first channel 321 and the second channel 322 extend along the second direction respectively, and the shielding member 342 is arranged on the entrance side of the second channel 322 along the extension direction. The first direction intersects with the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the height direction of the sample analyzer 3.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first face shell assembly 34 is an integrally formed structure.

[0068] Some specific technical details of the sample analyzer 3 can be found in the description of the sample analysis module in the sample analysis system in the embodiment of the present application, and will not be repeated here.
